Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of traction power supply system, in particular to a structure for converting a Vx wiring traction transformer into a flexible single-phase wiring. BACKGROUND

[0002] The three-phase Vx wiring traction transformer is a transformer used for AT power supply mode of electrified railway, which is usually composed of two single-phase transformers for AT power supply, and the two single-phase transformers supply power to two power supply arms of a traction substation respectively. Each single-phase transformer is a 3-winding transformer, and each phase has two secondary windings, and the two secondary windings output ±27.5kV respectively, and the winding neutral point is grounded.

[0003] Compared with the Scott wiring traction transformer, the three-phase Vx wiring traction transformer can save the outlet autotransformer (AT), and compared with the cross wiring traction transformer, the capacity utilization rate of the transformer is higher. The maturity of this wiring type has been recognized by the industry, and it has been widely used in projects using AT power supply mode in the field of high-speed railway and heavy haul railway.

[0004] The same phase power supply, i.e. the same phase power supply technology, refers to a traction power supply mode in which the section of the catenary voltage phase of adjacent substations on the line is the same, and there is no electric phase splitting link on the line. In theory, the same phase power supply can be realized by using single-phase transformers in all traction substations, but due to the single-phase load causing negative sequence current in the power system, when the power system is weak, it will cause serious three-phase imbalance, so the power department will not agree to use single-phase transformers. Therefore, the key technology of the same phase power supply is to realize three-phase and single-phase symmetric transformation in the traction substation, and to use the same phase power supply device.

[0005] Most of the main lines of existing high-speed railways or heavy haul railways use AT power supply mode, and the traction substations mostly use three-phase Vx wiring type. If flexible single-phase wiring reconstruction is carried out, two methods are generally used: one is to directly replace the balanced wiring type traction transformer, and the other is to adjust the wiring type of the high voltage side of the traction transformer, and adjust the connection of one traction transformer to the middle end of the high voltage side of another traction transformer. However, the above two reconstruction methods face the following problems in actual operation, one is that the balanced wiring type traction transformer directly replaced needs to replace two Vx wiring transformers to bear the load of the entire traction substation, and the transformer capacity is large, and a large amount of civil construction reconstruction of the original traction substation is required, and the other is that the high voltage side wiring adjustment of the traction transformer needs to be evaluated and approved by the power grid department.

[0006] In the prior art, the traction substation with flexible single-phase connection mostly adopts the traction transformer with unequal capacity balance connection type. If the traction substation with existing three-phase Vx connection is directly transformed into the same-phase power supply by using the traction transformer with unequal capacity balance connection type, the existing traction transformer will be discarded, the civil construction will be reconstructed, the high-voltage side of the traction transformer will be reconstructed, and the like, which is not conducive to the popularization and application of the same-phase power supply technology in the field of high-speed railway and heavy haul railway with a large number of traction transformers with three-phase Vx connection type.

[0036] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The wiring configuration for the flexible single-phase connection structure is as follows:

[0037] The primary windings A and B of single-phase transformer A are connected to the incoming power grid phases A and B, respectively.

Parallel winding 2 is connected in parallel with the same-phase power supply device and is designated as parallel same-phase winding, i.e., winding c1z1. Parallel winding 1 and parallel same-phase winding are connected in series, with the series connection point being the neutral point and grounded. The non-parallel connection point of parallel winding 1 is connected to bus T to supply power to the contact network, and the non-series connection point of parallel same-phase winding is connected to bus F to supply power to the positive feeder.

[0038] Specifically, the x1 and x2 terminals of the secondary side of single-phase transformer A are connected to the c1 terminal of the parallel in-phase winding and then connected to the grounding R; the a1 and a2 terminals of the secondary side of single-phase transformer A are connected to the contact network T; the z1 terminal of the parallel in-phase winding is connected to the positive feeder F; the y1 and y2 terminals of the secondary side of single-phase transformer B are connected to the in-phase power supply device; and the b1 and b2 terminals of the secondary side of single-phase transformer B are connected to the in-phase power supply device.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the working principle is as follows:

[0042] Transformer group reconstruction: disconnect all the secondary winding series connection points in the original Vx wiring, and change the series connection of the secondary winding of the two single-phase transformers A and B to parallel connection, that is, the x1 and x2 ends of the a1x1 and a2x2 windings of the single-phase transformer A are short-circuited, the a1 and a2 ends are connected in parallel to output, the a1x1 and a2x2 windings are connected in parallel to form parallel winding 1 (the phase is kept as AB phase) through phase conversion; the y1 and y2 ends of the b1y1 and b2y2 windings of the single-phase transformer B are short-circuited, the b1 and b2 ends are connected in parallel to output, the b1y1 and b2y2 windings are connected in parallel to form parallel winding 2 (the phase is kept as CB phase); the parallel connection point of the parallel winding 2 is connected to the input side of the same-phase power supply device, and the output voltage phase of the same-phase power supply device is adjusted by 180° through the AC / DC / AC conversion device to form a parallel same-phase winding which is complementary to the parallel winding 1.

[0043] Same-phase power supply device reconstruction: the same-phase power supply device is a step-down transformer, the input side of which is connected to the parallel winding 2, and the output side of which is connected to the AC / DC / AC conversion device, and the voltage level is reduced from 27.5 kV to a voltage level suitable for power electronic devices; the AC / DC / AC conversion device includes a rectifier, a DC bus and an inverter, and realizes 120° phase shift; the matching transformer is connected to the output of the inverter at the input side, and is stepped up to 27.5 kV and outputs the z1c1 winding.

[0044] System integration: the parallel winding 1 and the parallel winding 2 together form a 2×25 kV power supply architecture, and the dynamic current distribution between the two windings is realized by controlling the voltage amplitude and phase of the parallel same-phase winding. Specifically, the x1 / x2 terminal of the parallel winding 1 is connected in series with the c1 terminal of the parallel same-phase winding and then grounded; the output end a1 / a2 terminal of the transformer A is connected to the T bus (+27.5 kV) to supply power to the catenary; the output end z1 terminal of the same-phase power supply device is connected to the F bus (-27.5 kV) to supply power to the positive feeder, and finally a 2×27.5 kV power supply architecture with a phase difference of 180° is formed.

[0045] When the phase power supply device fails, the system directly switches to the standby mode: the phase power supply device and the single-phase transformer B connected in parallel with the phase power supply device are taken out of operation, the single-phase transformer A is still in operation, the two windings of the single-phase transformer A are adjusted from parallel connection to series connection, the series connection point is grounded, and the non-series connection points of the two windings are connected to the T bus and the F bus respectively.
