Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cross-well electromagnetic detection, and particularly to an AC-AC converter suitable for a cross-well electromagnetic transmitting system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cross-well electromagnetic method is a geophysical method for imaging and detecting the geological structure between wells by arranging electromagnetic wave transmitting devices and receiving devices in different boreholes respectively. This method has significant advantages such as large detection depth (up to thousands of meters) and strong penetration ability, and is widely used in the fields of oil exploration, mineral exploration and engineering geological survey.

[0003] At present, the cross-well electromagnetic transmitting system generally adopts the power supply mode on the well: a low-frequency alternating signal of a specific frequency is generated by a ground signal generator, amplified by a power amplifier, and then transmitted to the downhole transmitting coil by a long-distance cable. This scheme has the following inherent defects:

[0004] 1. Serious energy loss: the line loss of a high-power signal in a kilometer-level cable transmission is as high as 30%, which significantly reduces the system efficiency;

[0005] 2. Limited output voltage: due to the cable voltage drop, the actual voltage at the end of the downhole coil is less than 50% of the design value, which seriously restricts the detection depth;

[0006] 3. Poor waveform quality: the output of the traditional full-bridge inverter is mostly square wave signal, and its harmonic component (THD>40%) interferes with the extraction of target formation information, and the low-frequency square wave is easy to cause power tube short circuit;

[0007] 4. Difficulty in frequency / amplitude adjustment: the pulse stretching circuit needs to be redesigned or the matching network needs to be replaced, and it is impossible to realize the dynamic switching of multiple parameters in a single downhole process;

[0008] 5. Low power density: the switching frequency of the IGBT-based inverter is limited (<20kHz), resulting in a large volume of magnetic elements, which is difficult to meet the deployment requirements in the narrow space downhole.

[0009] Although some schemes attempt to use downhole DC / DC modules for power supply, the output voltage amplitude adjustment range is narrow (±10%), which cannot adapt to the differentiated requirements of complex strata for excitation signal amplitude-frequency characteristics. The accurate reconstruction of stratum information requires wide-range and high-precision independent adjustment of the frequency (5-20kHz) and amplitude (0-750V) of the transmitting signal in a single operation.

[0010] The prior art, such as Chinese invention patent-CN115441704B discloses a frequency amplitude adjustable interwell electromagnetic transmitting system, which adopts a bridge inverter module and an SPWM control technology, adjusts the modulation signal in real time through FPGA analysis of well communication instructions, and realizes adjustable output of frequency and amplitude. The system uses a well direct current power supply mode, reduces cable transmission loss, and uses SiC MOSFET to improve switching frequency and power density. However, it still has the following limitations: first, the system is based on a DC-AC inverter structure, which needs to convert direct current into alternating current signal, and there is a risk of efficiency loss and waveform distortion in the conversion process, especially in the high frequency band (such as above 20 kHz), it is difficult to ensure that the THD (total harmonic distortion) meets the demand; second, the control strategy depends on simple SPWM modulation, and an accurate circuit dynamic model (such as state space average model) is not established, resulting in slow system response speed, poor anti-interference ability, and inability to realize real-time impedance matching; third, the frequency adjustment range is limited, it is difficult to cover the wide frequency band (5-20 kHz) required for interwell detection, and there is a lack of adaptive control mechanism, which is prone to load mismatching in complex strata. Therefore, although the frequency amplitude adjustable interwell electromagnetic transmitting system has improved the basic frequency modulation and amplitude modulation, the overall control performance, waveform quality and adaptability are still insufficient.

[0011] Therefore, developing a downhole direct AC-AC conversion technology with high efficiency, high waveform quality, wide tuning range and compact structure has become a key path to break through the bottleneck of interwell electromagnetic detection. SUMMARY

[0065] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in connection with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of the present application.

[0066] Referring to Figures 1-5 The present application provides a technical solution: an AC-AC converter suitable for an interwell electromagnetic emission system, comprising an FPGA control module, the FPGA control module is connected with a power module and a driving circuit module, the power module is connected with an inverter module and the driving circuit module, the inverter module and the driving circuit module are connected with a full-bridge AC-AC converter module, and the full-bridge AC-AC converter module is connected with a coil load.

[0067] The FPGA control module is used for receiving an uphole communication signal and generating a bipolar SPWM signal sent to the driving circuit module.

[0068] The power module is used for converting uphole direct current power supply into system working voltage.

[0069] The driving circuit module is used for amplifying the bipolar SPWM signal to obtain an SPWM driving signal.

[0070] The full-bridge AC-AC converter module adopts a Cuk type topology structure, is used for regulating and stabilizing the output of the frequency adjustable alternating current signal output by the inverter module according to the required amplitude, and sends the signal to the two ends of the coil load for radiation.

[0071] According to the circuit characteristics of the full-bridge AC-AC converter module, a state space average model is established based on the state space average method, and the transfer function between the duty cycle signal and the output voltage signal, the transfer function between the duty cycle signal and the inductance current signal, and the transfer function between the inductance current signal and the output voltage signal are separated to obtain the dynamic circuit state, and the interwell electromagnetic emission system is controlled in combination with the current loop QPR controller and the voltage loop PI controller.

[0072] In the present embodiment, the full-bridge AC-AC converter module adopts a Cuk type topology structure, and the power switch tube connection mode adopts a double-tube anti-series topology structure. In the positive half cycle of the power supply voltage, the switch tubes S3 and S4 are always turned off, and S1 and S2 are complementary on. In the negative half cycle of the power supply voltage, S1 and S2 are always turned off, and S3 and S4 are complementary on. At the same time, an RC commutation circuit can be added to provide a freewheeling loop for the conversion circuit.

[0073] The power module is composed of two DC / DC power chips 4812S and 4809S and their filter circuits, which can convert 48V DC voltage from the well into 12V and 9V DC voltage required by the FPGA control module and the driving circuit, so that the driving circuit module and the FPGA control module are in working condition.

[0074] Since the FPGA output high level voltage value is 3.3V and the low level is 0V, while the on voltage of SiC MOSFET is above 15V and the off voltage is below 0V, the control signal output by the FPGA is not enough to make the MOSFET in the AC-AC converter work, so the driving circuit module is designed to amplify the high level signal of the FPGA to 18V and the low level signal to-5V, so as to realize more accurate control. The driving circuit module in the embodiment uses isolated gate drive, converts the SPWM signal into optical signal through optical coupling, and then converts it into electrical signal output to the G and S ends of SiC MOSFET. This way can realize more stable and higher quality driving of SiC MOSFET in the bridge inverter module.

[0075] If the 5-20kHz adjustable frequency range of the inverter module of the interwell electromagnetic emission system needs to be coupled, and the output AC voltage effective value adjustable range of 0-750V is realized, the switching frequency of the Cuk type full-bridge AC-AC converter module can be set to 300kHz, the current inner loop bandwidth is set to 60kHz, and the voltage outer loop bandwidth is set to 3kHz; the four MOSFETs are selected as SiC MOSFET with a withstand voltage of 1200V; the input inductance L1 is selected as an inductance value of 6.8 ; the output inductance L2 is selected as an inductance value of 56 ; the transmission capacitor C1 is selected as 0.47 ; the output capacitor C2 is selected as 10 ; the capacitor Cs of the RC buffer circuit is selected as 3.3 ; the resistance Rs of the RC buffer circuit is selected as 6.8 Through the above parameters and selection design, 750V AC output at 20kHz frequency and THD less than 1% and full load efficiency not less than 95% can be realized.

[0076] In some embodiments, the full-bridge AC-AC converter module includes power switch tube S1, power switch tube S2, power switch tube S3, power switch tube S4, input inductance L1, output inductance L2, transmission capacitor C1, output capacitor C2 and resistance Ro; the first end of the input inductance L1 is connected to the input voltage u AC, the second end of the input inductor L1 is connected to the drain of the power switch S1 and the first end of the transfer capacitor C1; the second end of the transfer capacitor C1 is connected to the drain of the power switch S2 and the first end of the output inductor L2; the second end of the output inductor L2 is connected to the first end of the output capacitor C2 and the resistor Ro; the second end of the output capacitor C2 is connected to the second end of the resistor Ro, the drain of the power switch S4, the drain of the power switch S3 and the input voltage u AC ; the source of the power switch S1 is connected to the source of the power switch S3; the source of the power switch S2 is connected to the source of the power switch S4.

[0077] In the embodiment, taking the positive half cycle as an example, at t0-t1, the power switch S1 is turned on and the power switch S2 is turned off, and the equivalent circuit diagram of the full-bridge AC-AC converter module in working mode 1 is shown in Fig. (a). At t1-t2, the power switch S1 is turned off and the power switch S2 is turned on, and the equivalent circuit diagram of the full-bridge AC-AC converter module in working mode 2 is shown in Fig. (b). Figure 3 Figure 3

[0078] According to Figure 2 The increase of the inductive current of the inductors L1 and L2 can be calculated as:

[0079] ,

[0080] According to Figure 3 The increase of the inductive current of the inductors L1 and L2 in working mode 1 can be calculated as:

[0081] , wherein L 1 is the inductance value of the input inductor L1; L 2 is the inductance value of the output inductor L2; V i Vin is the input voltage; D D is the duty ratio of the power switch S1; T s T is a switching period; u c1 Vc is the voltage of the transfer capacitor C1; V o Vo is the output voltage; V L1 Vl is the voltage of the input inductor L1; V L2 V2 is the voltage of the output inductor L2; Vl1 is the L1 inductor voltage in working mode 1; V2 is the L2 inductor voltage in working mode 1.

[0082] Therefore, in​​DT s Within the time period V i Energy is stored in L1, while capacitor C1 discharges to the load and stores energy in inductor L2; in (1- D ) T s During the time period, inductor L1 charges C1, while inductor L2 supplies power to the load.

[0083] Since the current increment generated in inductors L1 and L2 is 0 during one switching cycle, that is:

[0084] It can be seen that by adjusting the duty cycle of the power switch... D It can achieve the ideal voltage output of the full-bridge AC-AC converter module, when D When the voltage is less than 0.5, the voltage reduction function can be achieved; when... D When the voltage is >0.5, the boost function can be achieved; when D When the voltage is 0.5, voltage regulation can be achieved. This allows for direct step-up / step-down adjustable output of the input AC voltage by controlling the duty cycle and using the transmission capacitor C1.

[0085] Furthermore, in Figure 2 The circuit structure consists of two sets of anti-tandem power switches connected in parallel with a commutation element RC, forming a freewheeling path for the inductive and non-resistive loads in the main circuit. Figure 4 As shown, a dead interval td is set for two sets of complementary bidirectional power switches to solve the commutation problem that inevitably occurs when the two sets of power switches are turned on or off simultaneously during the complementary conduction of power switches.
