Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of data analysis, specifically to a loss balancing control method and system for NPC circuits under single-switch fault conditions. Background Technology
[0002] The NPC circuit is a neutral-point clamped three-level circuit, a typical multi-level power electronic topology, which is widely used in new energy power generation, motor drive and other fields.
[0003] In current applications of NPC circuits, a common problem is that when a single switch fails, the associated circuits also fail. In this situation, the remaining components must bear additional power consumption to keep the circuit running, which can easily lead to localized overheating or secondary failures. Traditional fault control methods focus on monitoring the circuit during normal operation, making it difficult to balance circuit output performance and loss balance control when a switch failure occurs. Existing fault control methods often sacrifice efficiency for stability and lack dynamic adjustment capabilities. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a loss balancing control method and system for NPC circuits under single-switch failure, so as to solve the problems raised in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A loss balancing control method for an NPC circuit under single-switch failure, comprising the following steps:
[0007] A synchronous detection platform is built to collect real-time operating data of the switching transistor units and circuit paths in the NPC circuit, and the collected data is periodically logged.
[0008] By locating each switching transistor unit in the NPC circuit and retrieving the periodic operation data of the corresponding switching transistor unit for fault analysis; based on the switching transistor fault analysis data, the circuit path where the faulty switching transistor is located is located, and by analyzing the loss data of the NPC circuit, loss redistribution analysis is performed on each circuit path.
[0009] Based on the loss redistribution data of each circuit path in the NPC circuit, and combined with the working switch status of the corresponding circuit path, a dynamic loss balance optimization analysis is performed, and a control scheme for the corresponding circuit path switch is output based on the analysis results.
[0010] Furthermore, the synchronous detection platform is an interactive visual management platform, which uses several sensor devices to collect operating data of the switching transistor units and circuit paths in the NPC path, and transmits the data to the visual interface for output via a signal network. The operating data of the switching transistor units includes on-state voltage data, collector current data, and switching frequency; the operating data of the circuit paths includes output current data and output voltage data of the corresponding circuit paths. The sensor devices include current sensors and voltage sensors, used to collect the current and voltage data of the switching transistor units and circuit paths, respectively; and a counter device is used to record the switching frequency data of the switching transistors.
[0011] The real-time operating data of the switching transistors and the operating data of the circuit path collected in the NPC circuit are marked with the collection timestamp, and corresponding sets of periodic operating data of the switching transistor unit and the circuit path are constructed respectively. Log storage is performed by setting an update period. Specifically, the update period length is manually set. When the collection period length meets the update period length, the operating data of the switching transistors and the operating data of the circuit path collected in the current collection period are logged and stored in the database as historical data, and the data collection for the new period is started.
[0012] Furthermore, in the NPC circuit, the circuit paths are labeled and located, and the switching transistor units on each circuit path are also labeled and located. Labeling and location refers to assigning labels to the bridge arms and corresponding switching transistor units in the NPC circuit, and locating the circuit paths based on the labels. The periodic operating data sets of the corresponding switching transistor units are retrieved, and the safety status and transient status of the corresponding switching transistor unit operating data are analyzed in real time. Based on the analysis results, faulty switching transistor units are marked as abnormal. The safety status analysis of the switching transistor unit operating data involves comparing the operating data at each time point in the periodic operating data set with the corresponding safety range. If it is within the safety range, the operating data at the corresponding time point is considered normal; otherwise, it is considered abnormal. The transient status analysis of the switching transistor unit operating data involves comparing the absolute value of the difference between the operating data at adjacent time points in the periodic operating data set with the corresponding safety threshold. If it is less than or equal to the safety threshold, the operating data at the adjacent time point is considered normal; otherwise, it is considered abnormal. The safety range and safety threshold are manually set. Switching transistor unit faults include open circuits and short circuits.
[0013] Based on the analysis data of the faulty switching transistor unit, the location tag of the faulty switching transistor unit is determined. Then, based on the periodic operation data set of the switching transistor unit, the periodic operation data sets of the normal switching transistor unit and the periodic operation data set of the faulty switching transistor unit in normal state are retrieved respectively. The loss data of the switching transistor unit during normal operation is analyzed. The loss data of the switching transistor unit during normal operation includes the switching transistor unit's conduction loss and switching loss; its calculation formula is as follows:
[0014] ;
[0015] Among them, P con,k V represents the conduction loss of the switching transistor unit corresponding to label k; k I is the on-state voltage of the switching transistor unit corresponding to label k; k D represents the collector current of the switching transistor unit corresponding to label k. k The duty cycle of the switching transistor unit corresponding to label k;
[0016] ;
[0017] Among them, P sw,k f represents the switching loss of the switching transistor unit corresponding to label k; k E represents the periodic switching frequency of the switching transistor unit corresponding to label k. on E represents the turn-on energy of the switching transistor unit corresponding to label k. off This represents the turn-off energy of the switching transistor unit corresponding to label k; the on-duty cycle, turn-on energy, and turn-off energy of the switching transistor unit can be obtained from the device data stored in the database.
[0018] Based on the analysis results of the loss data during normal operation of each switching transistor unit, the loss data of the circuit path corresponding to each switching transistor is analyzed separately; the calculation formula is as follows:
[0019] ;
[0020] Among them, P sy,G P represents the total loss of the circuit path corresponding to label G; con,G P represents the conduction loss of the circuit path corresponding to label G; sw,G Let G be the switching loss of the circuit path corresponding to label G; where the conduction loss of the corresponding circuit path is the sum of the conduction losses of each switching transistor unit on the circuit path; and the switching loss of the corresponding circuit path is the sum of the switching losses of each switching transistor unit on the circuit path.
[0021] Furthermore, based on the loss analysis data of the switching transistors under normal operation on each circuit path, the faulty switching transistor is located, and the circuit path containing the faulty switching transistor is determined and marked. Combining the loss data of the faulty circuit path with the loss data of the normal circuit path, a loss redistribution analysis of the remaining normal circuit path is performed on the NPC circuit. The specific analysis and calculation are as follows:
[0022] ;
[0023] in, The total loss after redistribution of the circuit path labeled G in the set of normal circuit paths; The total loss before redistribution of the circuit path labeled G in the set of normal circuit paths; f is the switching frequency of the switching transistor unit labeled k on the circuit path labeled G in the set of normal circuit paths; all This is the sum of the switching frequencies of the switching transistor units on each circuit path in the set of normal circuit paths; The total loss before redistribution of the circuit path labeled G in the faulty circuit path set; where HG is the normal circuit path set, and YG is the faulty circuit path set; the normal circuit path set contains the labels of the remaining normal circuit paths excluding the faulty circuit paths; the faulty circuit path set contains the labels of the faulty circuit paths.
[0024] Based on the loss redistribution analysis data of normal circuit paths, this paper constructs a set of corresponding operating switch states by counting the number of operating switch states on each normal circuit path. It then determines the conduction state combination of each switching transistor unit on the normal circuit path corresponding to each operating switch state. The paper analyzes the dynamic balance optimization of circuit path losses under each operating switch state set within the set of operating switch states for each normal circuit path. Based on the analysis results, it outputs the optimal combination of switching transistor unit conduction states corresponding to the operating switch states, which serves as the optimal control scheme for the switching transistor units on each normal circuit path. The specific analysis of the dynamic balance optimization of circuit path losses under the operating switch states for each normal circuit path is as follows:
[0025] ;
[0026] in, The loss dynamic balance optimization analysis index is the working state labeled Y in the working switch state set corresponding to the circuit path labeled G in the normal circuit path set. The output current of the circuit path labeled G in the set of normal circuit paths; The output voltage of the circuit path labeled G in the set of normal circuit paths; I c and Vc These correspond to the reference current and reference voltage of the circuit path labeled G in the set of normal circuit paths, respectively; P HG α1, α2, and α3 are the sum of the total losses after the redistribution of each circuit path in the normal circuit path set; α1, α2, and α3 are artificially preset weighting coefficients; based on the dynamic balance optimization analysis index analysis results of the circuit path loss in each working state in the working switch state set corresponding to each circuit path in the normal circuit path set, the working state corresponding to the minimum value is the optimal working state of dynamic balance loss of the corresponding circuit path, and then the combination of the conduction states of each switching unit on the corresponding circuit path is the optimal control scheme of the switching unit.
[0027] Furthermore, the fault status of the switching transistor units on each circuit path in the NPC circuit is fed back and prompted through the visual interface of the synchronous detection platform.

The periodic operation data sets of the corresponding switching transistor units are retrieved, and the safety status and transition status of the corresponding switching transistor unit operation data are analyzed in real time. Based on the analysis results, faulty switching transistor units are marked as abnormal. The safety status analysis of the switching transistor unit operation data is achieved by comparing the operation data at each time point in the periodic operation data set with the corresponding safety range. If it is within the safety range, the operation data at the corresponding time point is considered normal; otherwise, it is considered abnormal. The transition status analysis of the switching transistor unit operation data is achieved by comparing the absolute value of the difference between the operation data at adjacent time points in the periodic operation data set with the corresponding safety threshold.

The safety range and safety threshold are manually set. Switching transistor unit faults include open circuits and short circuits.
[0071] Based on the analysis data of the faulty switching transistor unit, the location tag of the faulty switching transistor unit is determined. Then, based on the periodic operation data set of the switching transistor unit, the periodic operation data sets of the normal switching transistor unit and the periodic operation data set of the faulty switching transistor unit in normal state are retrieved separately to analyze the loss data of the switching transistor unit during normal operation.

[0079] Furthermore, based on the loss analysis data of the switching transistors under normal operation on each circuit path, the faulty switching transistor is located, and the circuit path containing the faulty switching transistor is determined and marked. Combining the loss data of the faulty circuit path with the loss data of the normal circuit path, a loss redistribution analysis of the remaining normal circuit path is performed on the NPC circuit. The specific analysis and calculation are as follows:
[0080] ;
[0081] in, The total loss after redistribution of the circuit path labeled G in the set of normal circuit paths; The total loss before redistribution of the circuit path labeled G in the set of normal circuit paths; f is the switching frequency of the switching transistor unit labeled k on the circuit path labeled G in the set of normal circuit paths; all This is the sum of the switching frequencies of the switching transistor units on each circuit path in the set of normal circuit paths; The total loss before redistribution of the circuit path labeled G in the faulty circuit path set; where HG is the normal circuit path set, and YG is the faulty circuit path set; the normal circuit path set contains the labels of the remaining normal circuit paths excluding the faulty circuit paths; the faulty circuit path set contains the labels of the faulty circuit paths.
[0082] Based on the loss redistribution analysis data of normal circuit paths, this paper constructs a set of corresponding operating switch states by counting the number of operating switch states on each normal circuit path.
