[0074] Medium-voltage frequency converters enable more precise and effective control of high-voltage motors, fans, pumps, and other equipment, helping users improve process efficiency and reduce operating costs. They are widely used in various fields such as power, metallurgy, petroleum, chemical, mining, and water supply.

[0075] In the medium-voltage frequency converter industry, most manufacturers adopt a multi-level cascaded structure, such as the GH180 series, MVG2 series, MegaVert series, and HD9X series. The power unit is the main component of this structure, and the bus capacitor, as one of the core components of the power unit, has significant implications for product quality and cost due to its capacity configuration and lifespan assessment. The capacity configuration affects the magnitude of the bus ripple voltage, thereby affecting the harmonic content of the power unit's output voltage; the ripple current affects the core temperature rise of the capacitor during operation, thus affecting the capacitor's lifespan.

[0076] Therefore, accurately calculating the ripple current has a significant impact on the capacitor.

[0077] In related technologies, the calculation of bus ripple current, especially the calculation of ripple current in the H-bridge inverter circuit of the power unit of medium-voltage frequency converter, mainly relies on simulation software.

This method considers the influence of various factors on the accuracy of ripple current calculation, thus improving the accuracy of ripple current calculation.

[0079] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0080] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating the bus capacitor ripple current estimation method provided in this application. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0081] S101. Obtain the power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage frequency converter;

[0082] Optionally, the power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage frequency converter include, but are not limited to, the effective value of the output current, the modulation frequency, the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient, and the modulation ratio.

[0083] The bus capacitor ripple current estimation method provided in this application is applicable to the power unit topology of medium-voltage frequency converters. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the main circuit topology of the power unit includes a three-phase uncontrolled rectifier circuit, a DC bus energy storage circuit, and an H-bridge inverter circuit. The bus capacitor is the core unit of the energy storage circuit. The ripple current based on the bus capacitor has a significant impact on the operation of the medium-voltage frequency converter. Therefore, accurate ripple current estimation plays a crucial role in capacitor selection and system stability.

[0084] The bus capacitor ripple current estimation method provided in this application can be applied to electronic equipment for bus capacitor selection. By estimating the bus capacitor ripple current, the correct selection of bus capacitors can be ensured according to requirements. Alternatively, it can also be applied to electronic equipment that uses a medium-voltage frequency converter to control motor speed. Estimating the bus capacitor ripple current facilitates ripple current control, maintains the operational stability and reliability of the electronic equipment, and can also extend the service life of the bus capacitor.

[0085] In the example of electronic equipment used for selecting bus capacitors, the power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage frequency converter in this step are obtained through the input terminal of the electronic equipment. That is, the user inputs the power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage frequency converter into the electronic equipment, and the electronic equipment can then obtain the relevant power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage frequency converter.

[0086] In the example of electronic equipment using a medium-voltage frequency converter to control motor speed, the power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage frequency converter in this step can be obtained by collecting data from the operation of the electronic equipment to obtain the actual modulation wave frequency and the actual effective value of the output current.

[0087] Optionally, the power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage frequency converter include the effective value of the output current, the modulation frequency, the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient, and the modulation ratio. The effective value of the output current refers to the effective value of the current output by the bus capacitor as desired by the user, and is determined according to user requirements. The modulation frequency and modulation ratio are set according to user requirements. The bus voltage fluctuation coefficient is controlled within 10%, therefore, the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient is 0% to 10%.

[0088] S102. Estimate the bus capacitor capacity based on the effective value of the output current, the modulation wave frequency, and the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient.

[0089] As an example, the bus capacitance can be estimated using the following formula:

[0090]

[0091] Among them, C bus For the bus capacitor capacity, t d R is the discharge time. load Let α be the equivalent resistance of the load, and α be the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient.

[0092] Alternatively, the equivalent resistance of the load can be calculated using the following formula:

[0093]

[0094] Among them, U bus.max P is the peak voltage of the bus. load This represents the load power.

[0095] As an example, according to the standard for medium-voltage frequency converters, the peak bus voltage is selected according to the standard, and the load power is calculated based on the peak bus voltage and the effective value of the output current.

[0096] Optionally, the sum of the charging and discharging times of the bus capacitor is the charging and discharging cycle of the bus capacitor (which can also be expressed as the charging and discharging frequency). Since the charging and discharging frequency of the bus capacitor is affected by the modulation wave frequency of the H-bridge inverter, this embodiment of the application combines the influence of the modulation wave frequency of the H-bridge inverter on the charging and discharging time, and calculates the charging and discharging time of the bus capacitor based on the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient, the angular frequency of the input voltage, and the modulation wave frequency.

[0097] Therefore, by inputting the effective value of the output current of the bus capacitor into the electronic device, the load power can be calculated based on the effective value of the output current and the peak voltage of the bus, and then the load equivalent resistance of the bus capacitor can be calculated based on the peak voltage of the bus and the load power.

[0098] Furthermore, by inputting the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient and the modulation wave frequency into the electronic device, the discharge and charging times of the bus capacitor can be calculated based on the angular frequency of the input voltage, the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient, and the modulation wave frequency. Then, the bus capacitor capacity can be estimated based on the discharge time, the equivalent load resistance, and the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient (using the aforementioned formula).

[0099] As an example, the charging time of the bus capacitor can be estimated using the following formula:

[0100]

[0101] As an example, the discharge time of the bus capacitor can be estimated using the following formula:

[0102]

[0103] Among them, t c For charging time, t dWhere is the discharge time, α is the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient, and f m ω is the frequency of the modulated wave. g ω is the angular frequency of the input voltage.

[0104] S103. Estimate the ripple current of the bus capacitor based on the bus parameters and the bus capacitor capacity.

[0105] As an example, the ripple current of the bus capacitor can be estimated using the following formula:

[0106]

[0107] Where M is the modulation ratio, I o.rms C is the effective value of the output current. bus U is the bus capacitor capacitance. bus,max Where α is the peak ripple voltage, f is the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient, and f is the peak ripple voltage. m For the modulation wave frequency, t c For charging time, t d This refers to the discharge time.

[0108] The above formula is the output formula for the ripple current of the bus capacitor. In practical applications, the obtained inverter bus parameters include the effective value of the output current I. o.rms Modulation wave frequency f m The bus voltage fluctuation coefficient α and modulation ratio M are used. The bus capacitor capacity is estimated using S102. Before estimating the bus capacitor capacity, the charging and discharging times of the bus capacitor also need to be calculated. Therefore, the estimation of the bus capacitor ripple current in this embodiment, in addition to using the above formula, also includes a ripple current estimation process. This estimation process includes estimating the charging time, discharging time, and equivalent load resistance of the bus capacitor based on the input power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage inverter. Then, based on the discharging time, equivalent load resistance, and the power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage inverter, the bus capacitor capacity is estimated. Finally, the ripple current is estimated based on the bus capacitor capacity, charging time, discharging time, and the power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage inverter.

[0109] It should be noted that the above ripple current output formula and ripple current estimation process take into account the composition of the ripple current, the influence of the rectifier side and inverter side of the H-bridge inverter circuit on the ripple current, and so on. It is formed after comprehensively considering various influencing factors.

[0110] The bus capacitor ripple current estimation method provided in this embodiment is based on considering the composition of the ripple current, the influence of the rectifier side and inverter side of the H-bridge inverter circuit on the ripple current, and other influencing factors. Furthermore, before calculating the ripple current, the bus capacitor capacity configuration is estimated, and the ripple current of the bus capacitor is estimated by combining the estimated capacitor capacity, thus improving the accuracy of the ripple current estimation. Moreover, this bus ripple current estimation method only requires obtaining the capacitor parameters and then estimating the ripple current through the calculated capacitor capacity, simplifying the ripple current calculation process and making it suitable for engineering applications.

[0111] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating the bus capacitor ripple current estimation method provided in this application. Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment... Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on the embodiments, the principle process of estimating bus capacitor ripple current in the above embodiments will be described in detail. The method includes:

[0112] S301. Obtain the power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage frequency converter. The bus parameters include the effective value of the output current, the modulation wave frequency, the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient, and the modulation ratio.

[0113] Optionally, in this step, the acquisition of the power unit bus parameters of the medium-voltage frequency converter is the same as described above. Figure 1 The embodiments shown are the same; please refer to the above for details. Figure 1 The embodiments shown will not be described again here.

[0114] S302. Estimate the bus capacitor capacity based on the effective value of the output current, the modulation wave frequency, and the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient.

[0115] Optionally, in this step, the method for estimating the bus capacitor capacity is the same as described above. Figure 1 The bus capacitor capacity estimation method is the same in the illustrated embodiments. The bus capacitor capacity is estimated using the following formula:

[0116]

[0117] Among them, C bus For the bus capacitor capacity, t d R is the discharge time. load Let α be the equivalent resistance of the load, and α be the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient.

[0118] Alternatively, the equivalent resistance of the load can be calculated using the following formula:

[0119]

[0120] Among them, U bus.maxP is the peak voltage of the bus. load This represents the load power.

[0121] As an example, according to the standard for medium-voltage frequency converters, the peak bus voltage is selected according to the standard, and the load power is calculated based on the peak bus voltage and the effective value of the output current.

[0122] Therefore, in this embodiment, the bus capacitor capacity is determined based on the capacitor discharge time, the load equivalent resistance, and the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient.

[0123] Optionally, the presence of the H-bridge inverter in the medium-voltage frequency converter will affect the charging and discharging cycle of the capacitor. For example, the charging and discharging cycle of the capacitor including the inverter circuit is three times that of the capacitor without the inverter circuit. See reference for details. Figure 4 .

[0124] The bus voltage waveform equation excluding the inverter circuit is as follows:

[0125] U bus (t)=U bus.max cos(ω g (t p -t));

[0126] Among them, U bus.max ω is the peak voltage of the capacitor bus. g Let t be the angular frequency of the input voltage. p U is the time corresponding to the peak value of the bus voltage. bus Let be the capacitor bus voltage at time t.

[0127] like Figure 4 As shown, when t = t p At that time, U bus The maximum value U bus.max The starting time of bus capacitor charging at t = t0, U bus The initial value for charging the bus capacitor.

[0128] Based on this, t is calculated respectively. p The bus voltage at time t0 and t0, t p The difference between the bus voltage at time t0 and time t0 is the voltage difference during the charging cycle.

[0129] U bus (t p )-U bus (t0)=U bus.max cos(ω g (t p -t p )-U bus.max cos(ω g (t p -t0));

[0130] Since the charging and discharging cycle of the capacitor including the inverter circuit is three times that of the charging and discharging cycle without the inverter circuit, the corresponding equation for the bus voltage waveform including the inverter circuit is:

[0131]

[0132] Wherein, α is the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient. Since the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient affects the ripple current calculation, the charging and discharging time of the bus capacitor is calculated in combination with the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient in this embodiment.

[0133] By further simplifying the above bus voltage waveform equation, the charging time of the bus capacitor can be obtained:

[0134]

[0135] Optionally, the sum of the charging and discharging times of the bus capacitor is the charging and discharging cycle of the bus capacitor (which can also be expressed as the charging and discharging frequency). Since the charging and discharging frequency of the bus capacitor is affected by the modulation wave frequency of the H-bridge inverter, this embodiment considers the influence of the modulation wave frequency of the H-bridge inverter on the charging and discharging time, and calculates the charging and discharging time of the bus capacitor based on the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient, the angular frequency of the input voltage, and the modulation wave frequency.

[0136] As an example, the discharge time of the bus capacitor can be estimated using the following formula:

[0137]

[0138] Among them, t c For charging time, t d Where is the discharge time, α is the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient, and f m ω is the frequency of the modulated wave. g ω is the angular frequency of the input voltage.

[0139] Based on the above principle, by inputting the effective value of the output current of the bus capacitor into the electronic device, the load power can be calculated based on the effective value of the output current and the peak voltage of the bus. Then, the load equivalent resistance of the bus capacitor can be calculated based on the peak voltage of the bus and the load power.

[0140] Furthermore, by inputting the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient and the modulation wave frequency into the electronic device, the discharge and charging times of the bus capacitor can be calculated based on the angular frequency of the input voltage, the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient, and the modulation wave frequency. Then, the bus capacitor capacity can be estimated based on the discharge time, the equivalent load resistance, and the bus voltage fluctuation coefficient (using the aforementioned formula).

[0141] Taking a power unit with a rated input voltage of 690V, a peak bus voltage of 975V, a product design ripple voltage coefficient of 10%, a modulation frequency of 50Hz, and an output power of 144kVA (200A current, 720V voltage) as an example, the bus capacitor capacity can be calculated to be 8193uF using the above parameters and the formula for calculating bus capacitor capacity. Considering the actual capacitor type and product design cost, a 400V / 12000uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor is ultimately selected, arranged in a 3-series-2-parallel configuration, with a capacitance of 8000uF.

[0142] Therefore, in the electronic equipment to which the bus capacitor ripple current estimation method of this application is applied, the bus capacitor is estimated through the above-mentioned logical operation.

[0143] In this step, when analyzing the capacitor charging and discharging time, the influence of the inverter circuit on the charging and discharging time was considered, and the charging and discharging time was corrected to improve the effectiveness of the capacitor capacity calculation.

[0144] S303. Determine the rectifier side ripple current component of the bus capacitor based on the bus capacitor capacity.

[0145] Optionally, the rectifier-side ripple current component is the ripple current output from the rectifier side, which is one of the components of the capacitor ripple current. Calculating the rectifier-side ripple current component separately, and then combining them based on the influence of the rectifier-side ripple current component on the capacitor ripple current, can improve the final calculation result of the capacitor ripple current.

[0146] As an example, the rectifier-side ripple current component needs to consider the ripple current generated during charging and discharging. Therefore, the rectifier-side ripple current component needs to be calculated by combining the effective current values ​​generated during charging and discharging. The rectifier-side ripple current component can be estimated in the following way:

[0147] Figure 5 A schematic diagram illustrating the estimation process of the ripple current component on the rectifier side of the bus capacitor provided in this application is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, it includes:

[0150] To improve the accuracy of the rectifier-side ripple current component calculation, the effective value of the bus capacitor during the charging process is used to calculate the rectifier-side ripple current component.

[0151] In this embodiment, the effective charging value of the bus capacitor is calculated using the charging peak value of the bus capacitor.

[0152] As an example, the peak charging current is calculated using the following formula:

[0153]

[0154] Among them, I c.peak C is the peak charging current. bus U is the bus capacitor capacitance. bus.max t is the peak voltage of the capacitor bus. c This refers to the charging time.

[0155] As an example, the effective charging value is calculated using the following formula:

[0156]

[0157] Among them, I c.peak I represents the peak charging current. c.rms f is the effective charging value. m For the modulation wave frequency, t c This refers to the charging time.

[0159] S504. Determine the effective discharge value of the bus capacitor based on the peak discharge current, discharge time, and modulation wave frequency.

[0160] To improve the accuracy of the rectifier-side ripple current component calculation, the effective value of the bus capacitor during the discharge process is used to calculate the rectifier-side ripple current component.

[0161] In this embodiment, the effective discharge value of the bus capacitor is calculated using the discharge peak value of the bus capacitor.

[0162] As an example, the peak discharge current is calculated using the following formula:

[0163]

[0164] Among them, I d.peak C is the peak discharge current. bus C is the bus capacitor capacitance. bus.max t is the peak voltage of the capacitor bus. d This refers to the discharge time.

[0165] As an example, the effective value of discharge is calculated using the following formula:

[0166]

[0167] Among them, I d.peak I is the peak discharge current. d.rms t is the effective value of discharge. d f is the discharge time. m The frequency of the modulation wave.

[0168] S505 determines the rectifier side ripple current component of the bus capacitor based on the effective charging value and the effective discharging value.

[0169] As an example, the rectifier-side ripple current component of the bus capacitor is estimated by the sum of the effective charging value and the effective discharging value.

[0170] As an example, the rectifier-side ripple current component is estimated using the following formula:

[0171]

[0172] Based on the above I c.rms The calculation formula and I d.rms Substituting the formula for calculating the rectifier side ripple current component into the formula for calculating the rectifier side ripple current, we obtain the formula for calculating the rectifier side ripple current as follows:

[0173]

[0174] Among them, I rectifier.rms C represents the rectifier-side ripple current component. bus C is the bus capacitor capacitance. bus.max t is the peak voltage of the capacitor bus. c For charging time, t d f is the discharge time. m The frequency of the modulation wave.

[0175] Therefore, in this embodiment, the rectifier-side ripple current component of the bus capacitor is determined by the bus capacitor capacitance, peak bus voltage, modulation frequency, and charging and discharging times of the bus capacitor. In practical applications, the bus capacitor capacitance, charging and discharging times are calculated based on the capacitor parameters, and then the rectifier-side ripple current component of the bus capacitor is calculated separately using these parameters.

[0176] In this step, the influence of the rectifier-side output ripple current is fully considered. The bus capacitor ripple current is subdivided into rectifier-side components and inverter-side components for estimation, making the bus capacitor ripple current more accurate and suitable for the topology of medium-voltage inverter power units.

[0177] S304. Determine the inverter-side ripple current component of the bus capacitor based on the modulation ratio and the effective value of the output current.

[0178] In this step, the influence of the inverter on the ripple current is calculated separately. For example, a portion of the bus capacitor ripple current originates from the inverter-side ripple current component. This embodiment considers the influence of the inverter on the ripple current, calculates the inverter-side ripple current component to correct the bus capacitor ripple current, resulting in higher accuracy of the output ripple current.

[0179] As an example, the inverter-side ripple current component is estimated based on the RMS value of the output current and the modulation ratio, and is calculated using the following formula:

[0180]

[0181] Among them, I inverter.rms The inverter-side ripple current component is M, where M is the modulation ratio and I is the modulation ratio. o.rms This is the effective value of the output current.

[0182] In this step, the inverter-side ripple current component is calculated using the fundamental equivalent analysis method, assuming that most of the current ripple on the bus is absorbed by the capacitor and ignoring the influence of high-frequency harmonic components.

[0183] The output current of the power unit of a medium-voltage frequency converter is obtained using the following formula:

[0184]

[0185] Where, ω o Let ω be the angular frequency of the input voltage, and t be the moment of the output current.

[0186] Correspondingly, the input current of the H-bridge inverter is obtained through the following formula:

[0187] i in (t)=(S U -S V )i o (t) (2);

[0188] Among them, S u S is the switching function of the U-phase bridge. v This is the switching function for the V-phase bridge.

[0189] Medium-voltage frequency converters typically employ SPWM modulation in their power units. Taking the upper IGBTs of the U-phase bridge and V-phase bridge as an example, in one carrier cycle T... s Internally, the relationship between the modulated wave and the carrier wave is as follows: Figure 6 As shown; according to the principle of similar triangles, we can obtain:

[0190]

[0191] Where t1 and t2 are the times when the modulated wave intersects with the carrier wave, respectively; Um U s These are the amplitudes of the modulating wave and the carrier wave, respectively; ω m ω is the angular frequency of the modulated wave.

[0192] Further results were obtained:

[0193]

[0194] Where t2-t1 is the off-time of the upper IGBT within one carrier cycle, denoted as t. o f f ;U m / U s Let M be the modulation ratio.

[0195] Within one carrier cycle, the amplitude of the modulated wave changes very little, therefore sin(ω) m t1) and sin(ω m t2) are all approximately sin(ω) m Therefore, the above formula simplifies to: t),

[0196]

[0197] Furthermore, the switching function under SPWM modulation is:

[0198]

[0199] Based on this, the switching functions of the U-phase bridge and V-phase bridge of the H-bridge inverter are:

[0200]

[0201] If the phase of the power unit's output current is taken as the reference point, the modulated wave phase leads. For the power factor angle, the switching functions of the U-phase bridge and V-phase bridge of the H-bridge inverter are simplified as follows:

[0202]

[0203] Combining (1), (2), and (8) above, the input current function of the H-bridge inverter is obtained as follows:

[0204]

[0205] Based on the input current function of the H-bridge inverter, the inverter-side ripple current can be obtained through the following two examples.

[0206] As an example, the H-bridge input current of the medium-voltage inverter power unit is determined based on the effective value of the output current; then, the inverter-side ripple current component is determined based on the H-bridge input current and the modulation ratio.

[0207] By performing trigonometric decomposition on the H-bridge input current function (9), the following formula is obtained:

[0208]

[0209] in, This refers to the AC component provided by the bus capacitor, which is the ripple current on the inverter side.

[0210] The output current of the power unit exhibits a symmetrical positive and negative half-wave. Analyzing the output current waveform over half a cycle, the effective value of the ripple current over the entire cycle is obtained by calculating the root mean square (RMS). The effective value of the ripple current is obtained using the following formula:

[0211]

[0212] Where T0 is the period of the output current.

[0213] Based on the definite integral operation, the inverter-side ripple current component is calculated:

[0214]

[0215] As an example, the inverter-side ripple current component is determined based on the average and RMS values ​​of the H-bridge input current. The average value is the average value of the H-bridge input current over the cycle.

[0216] Alternatively, the average value of the H-bridge input current can be obtained using the following formula:

[0217]

[0218] After simplification, we get:

[0219]

[0220] Alternatively, the effective value of the H-bridge input current can be obtained using the following formula:

[0221]

[0222] After simplification, we get:

[0223]

[0224] Optionally, in this embodiment, the inverter-side ripple current component is obtained using the following formula:

[0225]

[0226] After substituting and simplifying the above formula, the inverter-side ripple current component can be estimated using the following formula:

[0227]

[0228] In this step, the influence of the inverter side on the ripple current is fully considered. The bus capacitor ripple current is subdivided into rectifier side components and inverter side components for estimation, making the bus capacitor ripple current more accurate and suitable for the topology of medium voltage inverter power unit.

[0229] S305. Estimate the ripple current of the bus capacitor based on the ripple current components on the rectifier side and the inverter side.

[0230] Optionally, the inverter-side ripple current component is the ripple current input to the inverter side, which is one of the components of the capacitor ripple current. Calculating the inverter-side and rectifier-side ripple current components separately, and then combining their effects on the capacitor according to Parseval's theorem, can improve the final calculation result for the capacitor.

[0231] As an example, in this step, the rectifier-side ripple current component is estimated using the following formula:

[0232]

[0233] The inverter-side ripple current is estimated using the following formula:

[0234]

[0235] Therefore, the bus capacitor ripple current is:

[0236]

[0237] In this embodiment, based on the influence of power unit topology on capacitor charging and discharging time, the charging and discharging time of the capacitor is first calculated, and then the capacitor capacity configuration is calculated based on the charging and discharging time. Next, based on this capacity selection, the ripple current output from the rectifier side and the ripple current input from the inverter side are calculated respectively. To facilitate practical engineering applications, the fundamental equivalent analysis method is used to simplify the calculation of the inverter side ripple current. Finally, according to Parseval's theorem, an estimation formula for the bus capacitor ripple current is obtained. This estimation formula for the bus capacitor ripple current is applied to capacitor selection and ripple current calculation equipment, or to equipment equipped with a medium-voltage frequency converter, to accurately calculate the capacitor capacity and bus capacitor ripple current, replacing simulation software for calculating the bus ripple current.

[0238] The bus capacitor ripple current estimation method provided in this embodiment of the application estimates the bus capacitor ripple current by separately calculating the capacitor capacitance, the rectifier-side ripple current component, and the inverter-side ripple current component, and then combining the rectifier-side and inverter-side ripple current components. This method comprehensively considers the influence of rectifier-side and inverter-side ripple currents on the bus capacitor ripple current, resulting in high accuracy of the estimated ripple current. It simplifies the ripple current calculation process and is suitable for engineering applications.

[0239] The following estimates the capacitor ripple current of the same type of medium-voltage frequency converter power unit using the same capacitor parameters. Different estimation methods are used, and the estimation results are compared to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the bus capacitor ripple current estimation method in the embodiments of this application.

[0240] As an example, such as Figures 7 to 9 A simulation model was used to calculate the ripple current in order to verify the accuracy and feasibility of the bus capacitor ripple current estimation method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0241] In practical engineering design, simulation models of power units are generally built using Matlab / Simlink, such as... Figure 7 As shown, a resistive-inductive load is used to simulate the characteristics of a motor.

[0242] The power simulation parameters are shown in Table 1:

[0243] Table 1:

[0244]

[0245]

[0246] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, after inputting the parameters from Table 1 above into the simulation software, the simulation results of the bus voltage and ripple current are output. When the capacitor capacity is configured to 8000uF, the bus ripple voltage is 90V, the ripple voltage coefficient is 9.6%, and the effective value of the ripple current is 150.5A. Correspondingly, the ripple current and bus voltage estimated using the estimation method of this application embodiment are in high agreement with the simulation results, verifying the correctness of the capacitor capacity configuration and ripple current calculation formula in this application embodiment.

[0247] As an example, an experimental platform was built using a power unit prototype with a rated power of 144kVA. This platform consists of a voltage-regulating UPS, a step-up transformer, contactors, power units, and an inductive load. The voltage-regulating UPS has a capacity of 200kVA, and the step-up transformer (380V:720V) has a capacity of 250kVA. The inductive load has a resistance of 3Ω and an inductance of 4.27mH. Under a rated input voltage of 690V, the bus voltage waveform of the power unit is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the ripple current waveform is as follows: Figure 11 As shown, the ripple voltage coefficient is 10.6%, and the effective value of the ripple current of a single capacitor is 74.9A.

[0248] The results of calculation, simulation, and testing were compiled to obtain the comparison results in Table 2:

[0249] Table 2:

[0250] category Ripple voltage coefficient / % Single capacitor ripple current / A Calculated value 10 75 Simulation values 9.6 75.25 Test value 10.6 74.9

[0251] For ripple voltage, the calculation and simulation error accuracy is controlled within 0.4%, and the test error accuracy is controlled within 0.6%; for ripple current, the calculation and simulation error accuracy is controlled within 0.33%, and the test error accuracy is controlled within 0.33%.

[0252] Within 0.13%, the main reasons for the error are: in the embodiments of this application, the influence of high-frequency harmonics on ripple current is ignored for ease of calculation. At the same time, it is assumed that all ripple is absorbed by the bus capacitor, but in reality, some low-frequency harmonics still pass directly through the secondary winding of the phase-shifting transformer; in addition, there will be a deviation between the nominal capacity and the actual capacity of the bus capacitor, generally around 10%; and the theoretical analysis uses mathematical and simulation models under ideal conditions, while the experimental platform and prototype main circuit will have parasitic parameters that affect the test results.

[0253] The above-mentioned errors have little impact on the calculation results of ripple current, which meets the design requirements of products in engineering applications and verifies the effectiveness of capacity configuration and ripple current calculation formula. In other words, the embodiments of this application can be applied to engineering.

[0254] Furthermore, simulation software can only build simulations based on input voltage. It requires configuring corresponding simulation parameters (such as input voltage, equivalent resistance, bus capacitance, inductance, etc.) according to the user's required output effective current value, and then estimating the ripple current corresponding to the bus capacitance through the simulation platform. In contrast, in this embodiment, the ripple current can be directly estimated based on the user's required output effective current value, without the need to convert output parameters into simulation parameters such as input voltage, reducing the parameter conversion (parameter building) process and avoiding conversion errors.
