AI Technical Summary
The existing valve tester cannot synchronize its timing with the reverse resistance type IGCT drive and valve control host, resulting in inconsistent start times for experiments. This makes it impossible to achieve comprehensive testing of the IGCT drive performance. Furthermore, the fiber optic communication solution is costly and cumbersome to maintain.
The valve control host detects the positive voltage signal of the IGCT and delays the start of the test mode. Through multiple rounds of statistics and triggering phase division, the valve tester confirms the conduction of the IGCT through the current waveform, thus achieving the matching of the start time of the synchronous test and the control sequence.
Without the need for direct communication, the valve tester and IGCT drive achieved synchronous experimental start time and control timing, meeting the comprehensive testing requirements for the reverse resistance type IGCT drive performance.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method and system for verifying the valve tester with reverse resistance type IGCT drive function, belonging to the field of DC transmission equipment testing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Thyristor converter valves are currently widely used in conventional DC transmission and ultra-high voltage DC transmission projects. For thyristor units and their actuators, a dedicated valve testing instrument is required to verify the triggering, feedback, and protection functions of the actuator through multiple experiments. The inverse resistance type IGCT (Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor), as a new type of controllable turn-off device, can replace thyristors in the formation of IGCT converter valves.
[0003] Compared to conventional thyristor drivers based on analog circuit design, IGCT drivers, which have both turn-on and turn-off functions and need to consider more complex abnormal operating conditions to protect IGCT devices from failure, require digital circuit and chip design.
[0004] The complex circuitry of the IGCT driver increases power consumption, thus requiring a higher AC voltage for rapid power-up via the RC circuit (the actual charging voltage of the converter valve can meet the requirements). However, in production debugging scenarios using low-voltage valve testers, it takes a considerable amount of time (e.g., seconds) for the IGCT to gain power and operate normally, generating a feedback signal after the AC voltage is applied. This time is only approximate and varies each time it is powered on.
[0005] Therefore, the process of the valve tester providing AC voltage power-on—IGCT drive energy extraction and start-up—IGCT drive start-up completes the process of having the trigger conditions and generating a feedback signal is completed immediately after the first power frequency cycle after power-on during thyristor testing, while the power-on time is longer and the time variation range is large during IGCT testing.
[0006] This results in the valve tester and the valve control host not communicating with each other, making it impossible to unify the start time of the experiment. Experimental methods that restart timing upon power-on and those that use repeated power-on to automatically perform tests sequentially will cause inconsistencies in timing between the two sides, preventing the valve tester from operating and performing tests correctly.
[0007] However, the solution of mutual communication (usually optical fiber) is not conducive to engineering applications. The optical fiber from the secondary equipment room to the valve hall and valve tower is not only expensive, but also cumbersome in daily storage, maintenance and preparation before experiments.
[0008] Therefore, the IGCT has the characteristics of long drive power harvesting time and no automatic shutdown, as well as the need to complete the comprehensive test of drive performance without direct communication between the valve tester and the drive and valve control host, which brings challenges to the timing function design of the valve tester and valve control host.
[0009] Therefore, it is necessary to design a valve tester verification method that can achieve time synchronization and synchronous entry and exit from the experiment without mutual communication. Summary of the Invention
[0010] Objective: To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a valve tester verification method and system with reverse resistance IGCT drive function, so as to solve the problem of incompatibility between thyristor valve testers and reverse resistance IGCT drive and valve control unit.
[0011] Technical solution: To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0012] Firstly, a verification method for a valve tester with a reverse-resistance type IGCT drive function specifically includes:
[0013] Step 1: The valve control unit is enabled in test mode via remote control. After the test mode is enabled, the system counts the IGCT positive voltage signal sent by the connected IGCT drive module. When the system detects that the IGCT drive module is continuously sending an IGCT positive voltage signal, a delay t is set. on Automatic trial mode.
[0014] Step 2: After the valve control host is put into test mode, the valve tester outputs AC voltage to the reverse resistance type IGCT. The valve control host counts the number and interval of the IGCT positive voltage signals sent by the IGCT drive module. After the number of counts of the IGCT positive voltage signals reaches n, the first round of statistical stage is completed.
[0015] Step 3: After the valve control host completes the first round of statistical phase, in the first round of trigger phase, after receiving the IGCT positive voltage signal, it periodically sends IGCT active turn-on and active turn-off trigger commands. After the valve tester detects the current waveform in the trigger phase, it confirms that the reverse resistance IGCT is triggered and turned on. After the trigger is completed, it enters the second round of statistical phase. After the number of IGCT positive voltage signals reaches n, the second round of statistical phase is completed.
[0016] Step 4: After the valve control host completes the second round of statistical phase, in the second round of trigger phase, after receiving the IGCT positive voltage signal, it will periodically issue IGCT active turn-on and active turn-off trigger commands. After the valve tester detects the current waveform in the trigger phase, it confirms that the reverse resistance type IGCT is triggered and turned on. After the trigger is completed, it will enter the third round of statistical phase. After the number of IGCT positive voltage signals reaches n, the third round of statistical phase is completed.
[0017] Step 5: After the valve control unit completes the third round of statistical phase, it calculates the IGCT positive voltage signal interval and the preset threshold value T based on the second round of triggering phase. ref Based on the comparison results, the corresponding trigger mode is selected in the third triggering phase. After receiving the IGCT positive voltage signal, the IGCT active turn-on and active turn-off trigger commands are sent out at regular intervals. After the valve tester detects the current waveform in the triggering phase, it confirms that the reverse resistance type IGCT is triggered and turned on. After the triggering is completed, if the valve control host does not exit the test mode, it will return to the first statistical phase and repeat steps 2 to 5.
[0018] Optionally, it also includes: when the duration is t off Within the specified time frame, if the valve control host fails to detect a continuous positive voltage signal from the IGCT drive module, it will automatically exit the test mode, and the valve tester will manually or automatically end the experiment and power off.
[0019] Optionally, the timing parameters for the IGCT active turn-on and active turn-off trigger commands issued by the valve control host in each trigger phase can be set independently and adjusted according to the test feedback results under different test conditions.

In the second cycle of the second round, during the triggering completion phase, the valve tester applies a low-value positive impulse voltage according to preset parameters, causing the valve control host to detect that the interval between the IGCT positive voltage signals during the triggering phase is less than T. ref In the third round of a trigger cycle, the valve control host issues IGCT turn-on and turn-off trigger commands with short intervals according to the preset parameters of the current discontinuity test to achieve current discontinuity. After the test is completed, the valve tester disconnects the IGCT cathode and anode voltages.
[0029] Where: t0 is the average time from power-on to completion of energy harvesting by the IGCT drive, ΔT is the maximum difference between the power-on time and t0 for different IGCT drives, and T is the cycle of the power frequency AC voltage used in the test.
[0030] Optionally, when the valve tester performs a forward overvoltage protection test, the maximum test duration is set to t0+t. on +(3n+6)T+ΔT to t0+t on Within +(4n+6)T‐ΔT, the valve tester only provides power frequency voltage in the second round, and the valve control host does not detect the interval between adjacent IGCT positive voltage signals less than T during the triggering phase in the second round. ref In the third round of triggering cycle, the valve control host issues IGCT active turn-on and active turn-off trigger commands at preset parameters.

[0050] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0051] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0052] Example 1:
[0053] This embodiment introduces a valve testing system with reverse resistance type IGCT drive function, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a valve tester, an IGCT drive module, a valve control unit, and a reverse resistance type IGCT.
[0054] The valve control host is connected to the IGCT drive module via trigger fiber and return fiber, and is used for the test mode of receiving return signals and sending trigger signals.
[0055] The valve tester is connected to the cathode and anode on both sides of the reverse resistance IGCT. It is used to connect the reverse resistance IGCT to be tested into the test circuit and measure the voltage between the cathode and anode of the reverse resistance IGCT and the current flowing through the reverse resistance IGCT.
[0056] The valve tester does not have a direct signal communication line connection with the valve control host or IGCT drive module.
[0057] The valve tester has the capability to perform short-circuit tests, low-voltage trigger tests, current discontinuity tests, reverse recovery period withstand tests, reverse recovery period end withstand tests, positive polarity impulse withstand tests, negative polarity impulse withstand tests, and positive overvoltage protection tests. The valve tester supports individual test items and also supports continuous testing of all test items in automatic mode.
[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the valve control host has a test mode that works with the valve tester. When the test mode is activated, the valve tester and the valve control host detect the positive voltage signal sent by the drive and send a triggering command according to the timing logic in the verification method of this invention.
[0059] The valve tester is used to perform various tests and to set a time limit for the test to exit without triggering for an extended period. It controls the supply and disconnection of AC voltage. For a few tests, such as the positive polarity impulse withstand test, reverse recovery period withstand test, or reverse recovery period end withstand test, a transient positive impulse voltage is provided at a set AC voltage angle. The negative polarity impulse withstand test provides a transient reverse impulse voltage. The testing method for each test typically involves detecting IGCT conduction within a given time range after timing begins; this indicates the test has passed. However, for some tests, failure to detect IGCT conduction within a given time range indicates a short-circuit test or withstand test has passed.
[0060] Example 2:
[0061] This embodiment describes a method for verifying the valve tester's drive function using a reverse-resistance type IGCT, such as... Figure 3 As shown, it specifically includes:
[0062] Step 1: The valve control unit is enabled in test mode via remote control. After the test mode is enabled, the system counts the IGCT positive voltage signal sent by the connected IGCT drive module. When the system detects that the IGCT drive module is continuously sending an IGCT positive voltage signal, a delay t is set. on Automatically initiate test mode; when the duration is t off If no IGCT positive voltage signal is continuously sent by the IGCT drive module within the time range, the test mode will automatically exit and the valve tester will manually or automatically end the experiment and power off.
[0063] Step 2: After the valve control host is put into test mode, the valve tester outputs AC voltage to the reverse resistance type IGCT. The valve control host counts the number and interval of the IGCT positive voltage signals sent by the IGCT drive module. After the number of counts of the IGCT positive voltage signals reaches n, the first round of statistical stage is completed.
[0064] Step 3: After the valve control host completes the first round of statistical phase, in the first round of trigger phase, after receiving the IGCT positive voltage signal, it periodically sends IGCT active turn-on and active turn-off trigger commands. After the valve tester detects the current waveform in the trigger phase, it confirms that the reverse resistance IGCT is triggered and turned on. After the trigger is completed, it enters the second round of statistical phase. After the number of IGCT positive voltage signals reaches n, the second round of statistical phase is completed.
[0065] Step 4: After the valve control host completes the second round of statistical phase, in the second round of trigger phase, after receiving the IGCT positive voltage signal, it will periodically issue IGCT active turn-on and active turn-off trigger commands. After the valve tester detects the current waveform in the trigger phase, it confirms that the reverse resistance type IGCT is triggered and turned on. After the trigger is completed, it will enter the third round of statistical phase. After the number of IGCT positive voltage signals reaches n, the third round of statistical phase is completed.
[0066] Step 5: After the valve control unit completes the third round of statistical phase, it calculates the IGCT positive voltage signal interval and the preset threshold value T based on the second round of triggering phase. ref Based on the comparison results, the corresponding trigger mode is selected in the third triggering phase. After receiving the IGCT positive voltage signal, the IGCT active turn-on and active turn-off trigger commands are sent out at regular intervals. After the valve tester detects the current waveform in the triggering phase, it confirms that the reverse resistance type IGCT is triggered and turned on. After the triggering is completed, if the valve control host does not exit the test mode, it will return to the first statistical phase and repeat steps 2 to 5.
[0067] Furthermore, the timing parameters for the IGCT active turn-on and active turn-off trigger commands issued by the valve control host in each trigger phase can be set independently and flexibly adjusted according to the test feedback results under different test conditions.
[0068] Furthermore, when the valve tester enters the short-circuit test, the test duration is set within the range of t0+t. on +ΔT to t0+t on Within +nT-ΔT, no trigger current threshold I was detected during the test duration. ref The current test passed, and after the test was completed, the valve tester disconnected the IGCT cathode and anode voltages.
[0069] Where: t0 is the average time from power-on to completion of energy harvesting by the IGCT drive, and ΔT is the maximum difference between the power-on time and t0 for different IGCT drives.
[0070] Furthermore, when the valve tester enters the positive polarity impact withstand test or the negative polarity impact withstand test, referring to the short-circuit test sequence, the test duration is set within the range of t0+t. on +ΔT to t0+t onWithin +nT‐ΔT, positive or negative impulse voltages are applied to the cathode and anode of the test IGCT during the appropriate voltage phase, respectively. No trigger current threshold I is detected during the test duration. ref The current test passed, and after the test was completed, the valve tester disconnected the IGCT cathode and anode voltages.
[0071] Furthermore, when the valve tester performs a low-pressure trigger test, the maximum test duration is set within the range of t0+t. on +(n+2)T+ΔT to t0+t on Within +(2n+2)T‐ΔT, the trigger current I was detected during the test duration. ref If the current is tested and passes, the valve tester disconnects the voltage between the IGCT anode and cathode to stop the test.
[0072] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the valve tester performs a reverse recovery period endurance test or a reverse recovery period end-of-test, the maximum test duration is set within the range of t0+t. on +(2n+4)T+ΔT to t0+t on Within +(3n+4)T‐ΔT, during the test duration, the valve tester detects the triggering phase through trigger voltage and current detection. After the IGCT is turned off in the second power frequency cycle of the second triggering phase, the valve tester applies a positive polarity impulse voltage according to the preset parameters in the negative pressure phase. After the test is completed, the valve tester disconnects the IGCT cathode and anode voltages.
[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the valve tester performs a current discontinuity test, the maximum test duration is set within the range of t0+t. on +(3n+6)T+ΔT to t0+t on Within +(4n+6)T‐ΔT, during the test duration, the valve tester detects the triggering phase through trigger voltage and current detection. In the second cycle of the second round, during the triggering completion phase, the valve tester applies a low-value positive impulse voltage according to preset parameters, causing the valve control host to detect that the interval between the IGCT positive voltage signals during the triggering phase is less than T. ref In the third round of a trigger cycle, the valve control host issues IGCT turn-on and turn-off trigger commands with short intervals according to the preset parameters of the current discontinuity test to achieve current discontinuity. After the test is completed, the valve tester disconnects the IGCT cathode and anode voltages.
[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the maximum duration of the positive overvoltage protection test performed by the valve tester is set to t0+t. on +(3n+6)T+ΔT to t0+t onWithin +(4n+6)T‐ΔT, the valve tester only provides power frequency voltage in the second round, and the valve control host does not detect the interval between adjacent IGCT positive voltage signals less than T during the triggering phase in the second round. ref In the third round of triggering cycle, the valve control host issues IGCT active turn-on and active turn-off trigger commands at preset parameters. The valve tester applies a positive polarity impulse voltage test at the voltage zero crossing point of the second power frequency cycle in the third round of triggering phase according to preset parameters. After the test is completed, the valve tester disconnects the IGCT cathode and anode voltages.
[0075] Furthermore, in the parameters of the valve tester mode, the average time t0 from power-on to energy harvesting by the IGCT drive module and the maximum deviation ΔT between the power-on time and t0 for different IGCT drive units are provided by the IGCT drive manufacturer. T is the cycle of the AC power frequency voltage used in the test, and n is the number of times the IGCT positive voltage signal is counted in the valve tester mode. When setting the test parameters, nT > 2ΔT must be satisfied to ensure that the upper and lower limits of the parameters are valid.
