Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of power electronic equipment testing and measurement technology, specifically relating to a high-power calibration device. Background Technology
[0002] High-power energy equipment such as electric arc furnace steelmaking equipment, large motor drive equipment, and energy storage system charging and discharging equipment generates power reaching hundreds of megawatts. The power generated by such high-power energy equipment includes DC, low-frequency, and high-frequency components. Accurate measurement of this power in practical work presents the following challenges:
[0003] large value
[0004] Transient current amplitudes in high-power applications typically reach hundreds of kiloamperes; the peak-to-peak recording voltage of modern digital high-speed oscilloscopes is generally around 80V; for high-current testing, the commonly used shunt resistor values range from 0.1mΩ to 100mΩ, requiring good response characteristics while also being able to withstand currents up to 10... 6 For instantaneous power exceeding a certain level, it is difficult to use standard components, and their manufacturing is also quite challenging.
[0005] Broadband
[0006] The frequency bands of high-power transient voltages and currents can reach tens of thousands of hertz, and there are abundant DC, low-frequency and AC signals, which places high demands on the performance of the sensor's measurement frequency band.
[0007] steep rising edge
[0008] Typically, the rise time of nanosecond-level high-voltage and high-current transient measurement systems is required to be in the range of sub-nanosecond to ten nanoseconds. The rise time of the square wave transient used to calibrate the measurement system should be comparable to or smaller than the response time of the measurement system. With such a rise time requirement, even very small stray parameters in the measurement and calibration system may have a significant impact on the measurement and calibration results, thus causing many sensors to fail to meet the measurement requirements.
[0009] Large electromagnetic interference
[0010] Because the transient front is fast, the corresponding short-wavelength components have high energy and strong spatial electromagnetic interference. Electromagnetic waves generated during the switching process, as well as electromagnetic waves radiated from the high-voltage measurement circuit, can easily cause interference in the low-voltage measurement circuit. Although the amplitude of this interference is not high, it has not been attenuated by the measurement system, so it can significantly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of the recorded signal. Sometimes the amplitude of the interference is even much greater than the amplitude of the real signal.
[0011] Long transient current and voltage measurement
[0012] Due to the extremely high energy of high-amplitude transient currents and voltages with long durations in the microsecond / millisecond range, the effect of temperature rise on transient shunts and voltage dividers on the measurement uncertainty of transient currents and voltages cannot be ignored.
[0013] The aforementioned problems severely restrict the accurate measurement of high-power energy equipment such as electric arc furnace steelmaking equipment, large motor drive equipment, and energy storage system charging and discharging equipment. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out research on high-power calibration technology and develop high-power calibration devices to ensure the accuracy and reliability of power parameter values for electric arc furnace steelmaking equipment, large motor drive equipment, and energy storage systems.

After detecting the calibration signal, the timing synchronization unit generates a timing synchronization signal and collects the low voltage signals measured by the first, second, third, and fourth voltage acquisition modules in real time. When the preset time t is reached, the central control unit sends a stop calibration signal to the timing synchronization unit. After detecting the stop calibration signal, the timing synchronization unit stops generating timing synchronization signals and stops receiving the collected low voltage signals. The low voltage signals collected within time t are transmitted to the data processing module through the communication card, photoelectric conversion interface, and central control unit. The data is converted into high voltage calibration signals, high current calibration signals, and high power signals.

[0051] As a preferred solution, the high-current fiber optic sensor employs an interferometric digital closed-loop fiber optic current sensing method based on the Faraday effect. Light emitted from the source passes through a circulator, is converted to linear polarization by a polarizer, and then enters the fast and slow axes of the polarization-maintaining fiber via the 45° fiber melting point. The two orthogonal linearly polarized beams are modulated by a phase modulator and propagate along the polarization-maintaining delay fiber. They are then converted to left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light by a quarter-wave plate. Under the influence of the measured current, a phase difference proportional to the measured current is generated between the two orthogonal circularly polarized beams.

Then, the mutual inductance M of the coil can be indirectly calculated using the formula L=nM, where n is the number of turns. The stray capacitance C is obtained by determining the resonant frequency using the resonance method. Considering that stray capacitance C can suppress the response speed of the Rogowski coil and introduce stability errors, a purely resistive damping resistor is connected in series at the end of the coil to minimize its adverse effects on the coil's dynamic characteristics.

The central control unit communicates wirelessly with the data acquisition units (including the first, second, third, and fourth data acquisition modules). The network ports of the data acquisition units are connected to a wireless router via RJ45 cables, forming a small wireless local area network (WLAN). The central control unit accesses the WLAN via a wireless network card and then uses software to acquire and process the waveforms displayed on the data acquisition units.
[0057] As a more preferred option, the calibration results of high power are obtained through the formula Calculations show that the acquired high-voltage and high-current signals must be synchronized. A timing synchronization unit ensures this synchronization, guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability of the high-power calibration results.
