Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of three-phase power supply, and in particular to a fault detection method, device, system, equipment and storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a high-power air conditioning equipment, three-phase alternating current power supply is the core power source of the compressor and the fan, and the stability of the power supply directly determines the operation efficiency and service life of the equipment. However, in actual operation, the three-phase power supply system often produces two typical faults: open-phase fault and three-phase unbalanced fault due to power line faults, uneven load distribution or power grid fluctuations.

[0003] The open-phase fault refers to the complete loss of a phase voltage or current, which causes the motor to run under two-phase power supply conditions, thereby causing a sharp increase in current, a sudden drop in torque, and even causing the motor to burn out. The three-phase unbalanced fault is manifested as a difference in the amplitude and phase of the three-phase voltage or current, which leads to a decrease in motor efficiency, abnormal temperature rise and unstable operation.

[0004] In related technologies, the open-phase fault is usually judged by detecting whether the ripple frequency of the bus voltage is 100Hz. However, this method has a significant defect: when the power grid has a three-phase unbalanced fault, the ripple frequency of the bus voltage may also approach or reach 100Hz, which is easy to misjudge the three-phase unbalanced fault as an open-phase fault, thereby causing unnecessary shutdown, or failing to handle the three-phase unbalanced fault in time, leading to capacitor damage, which seriously threatens the safety and stability of the unit and its service life.

[0039] In order to solve the technical problems of misjudgment of open-phase fault and three-phase unbalanced fault in three-phase electric system in the related art, the present disclosure provides a fault detection method, device, system, equipment and storage medium.

[0040] In the present disclosure, for a three-phase power system, the bus voltage of the unit of the three-phase power system can be monitored, and after the first time the ripple frequency corresponding to the bus voltage is detected as a fault frequency (for example, 100 Hz), the operating frequency of the unit of the three-phase power system can be controlled to increase to a target frequency (for example, the maximum allowable operating frequency of the unit of the three-phase power system at the current ambient temperature), and the fault type of the three-phase power system can be determined according to the bus voltage after the increase (i.e., the bus voltage at the target frequency). The present disclosure can greatly reduce the cost and hardware complexity of the three-phase power system without additional hardware sensors or protection modules, while reducing the fault points and improving the reliability. In addition, the present disclosure can accurately distinguish between open-phase faults and three-phase imbalance faults through "frequency increase verification", avoiding shutdown or missed protection caused by misjudgment of existing methods, improving the operation efficiency of the unit, and significantly improving the power supply reliability and operation safety of high-power air conditioning equipment.

[0041] In one example embodiment, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , a fault detection method for a three-phase power system is provided. The three-phase power system can be a power supply system of an air conditioning equipment, or a power supply system of other equipment, which is not limited. In this embodiment, the fault detection method comprises: S110, monitoring the bus voltage of the unit of the three-phase power system; S120, after the first time the ripple frequency corresponding to the bus voltage is detected as a fault frequency, controlling the operating frequency of the unit of the three-phase power system to increase to a target frequency; S130, determining the fault type of the three-phase power system based on the bus voltage at the target frequency.

[0042] In step S110, it should be noted that in the three-phase power system, when the input three-phase power supply is normal, the ripple frequency of the bus voltage is generally a certain fixed frequency (for example, 300 Hz). The fixed frequency is related to the grid frequency of the three-phase power supply. When the input power supply is open-phase or three-phase imbalance and the unit is in low-medium frequency operation, three-phase imbalance and open-phase may exhibit the same characteristics, at this time the ripple frequency of the bus voltage is a fault frequency (for example, 100 Hz), and presents a monotone decreasing state, as shown in Figure 5 When the unit is overloaded, if it is three-phase imbalance, at this time a small wave head (a small wave peak of short-time voltage rise / fall) of the waveform will appear, as shown in Figure 6 .

[0043] Based on this, in this step, the bus voltage of the unit of the three-phase power system can be monitored in real time so as to determine whether the open-phase fault or the three-phase unbalance fault occurs. The monitoring of the bus voltage can be realized by a voltage transformer, for example, the electromagnetic voltage transformer is used to convert the high-voltage bus voltage into a low-voltage signal, and then the real-time sampling processing is performed by a data acquisition system. Of course, the monitoring of the bus voltage can also be realized by other manners, and no limitation is made herein.

[0044] In step S120, the fault frequency can be determined according to actual conditions. In general, for a 50Hz or 60Hz power grid, the fault frequency can be 100Hz, of course, it can also be near 100Hz, for example, the fault frequency can be greater than or equal to 95Hz and less than or equal to 105Hz, so as to reduce the judgment error and improve the reliability of the judgment. In addition, the target frequency is the maximum safe frequency of the unit under the current ambient temperature. This frequency can be calibrated in advance according to the unit model and the ambient temperature characteristics, so as to ensure that the unit is not overloaded after frequency rising. The target frequency is generally greater than or equal to 80Hz and less than or equal to 120Hz.

[0045] For example, after detecting that the ripple frequency corresponding to the bus voltage is 100Hz for the first time, it can be indicated that the three-phase power system can have the open-phase fault or the three-phase unbalance fault. In order to further determine the specific fault type, the running frequency of the unit of the three-phase power system can be controlled to rise to the maximum safe frequency of the unit under the current ambient temperature.

[0046] In step S130, it needs to be noted that when the unit is overloaded, if it is the three-phase unbalance fault, at this time, a small wave head (a small wave peak of short-time voltage rising / dropping) will appear in the waveform of the ripple frequency of the bus voltage, and the waveform of the ripple frequency of the open-phase fault will not appear the above small wave head. Therefore, on the premise that it has been determined that the three-phase power system can have the open-phase fault or the three-phase unbalance fault, the fault type of the three-phase power system can be more accurately determined based on the bus voltage after frequency rising.

[0047] In this embodiment, no additional hardware sensor or protection module is needed, which can greatly reduce the cost and hardware complexity of the three-phase power system, reduce the fault point, and improve the reliability. In addition, the present disclosure can accurately distinguish the open-phase fault and the three-phase unbalance fault through the "frequency rising verification", avoid the shutdown or protection omission caused by the misjudgment of the existing method, improve the unit operation efficiency, and can significantly improve the power supply reliability and operation safety of the large-power air conditioning equipment.

[0048] In one example embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a fault detection method for a three-phase power system is provided. In this embodiment, determining the fault type of the three-phase power system based on the bus voltage at a target frequency may include: S210, Monitor the rising edge signal of the bus voltage; S220. If M consecutive rising edge signals are detected, calculate the time difference between the corresponding time of the next rising edge signal and the corresponding time of the current rising edge signal. S230. If the time difference is determined to be within the first time range, then the fault type is determined to be a three-phase imbalance fault. S240. If the time difference is determined to be within the second duration range, it is determined to be a single phase loss waveform characteristic. S250. If it is determined that the phase loss waveform feature is detected N times within the first time period, then the fault type is determined to be a phase loss fault.

[0049] In step S210, the rising edge signal refers to the moment when the voltage waveform jumps from a low level to a high level. It can be implemented by a voltage comparator circuit or the edge-triggered interrupt function of a microcontroller. The purpose is to accurately capture the key change points of the voltage ripple and provide a stable and reproducible reference for subsequent time analysis.

[0050] In step S220, monitoring the M consecutive rising edge signals refers to accumulating the count of consecutive rising edges using a counter. This can be implemented using a digital logic counter or a software counter, with the aim of eliminating transient interference from random noise and ensuring the reliability and anti-interference capability of the signal detection. M can be set according to the actual situation, and its specific value is not limited. For example, M can be a positive integer greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 7.

[0051] The time difference refers to the time interval between adjacent rising edges, which can be measured using a timer or timestamp recording module to reflect the characteristics of the ripple period.

[0052] In some implementations, M can be 5. In this implementation, if five consecutive rising edge signals are detected, the time difference between the corresponding time of the next rising edge signal and the corresponding time of the current rising edge signal can be calculated, that is, the time difference between the corresponding time of the sixth rising edge signal and the corresponding time of the fifth rising edge signal can be calculated.

[0053] In step S230, the first duration range refers to the threshold interval of the time difference, which can be set based on the ripple period characteristics corresponding to the fault type. The purpose is to clearly distinguish this range from the typical time characteristics of a phase loss fault. For example, the first duration range can be 2ms-4ms. That is, if the time difference is determined to be greater than or equal to 2ms and less than or equal to 4ms, the fault type is determined to be a three-phase imbalance fault.

[0054] In addition, considering the complexity of the power grid environment, to avoid the influence of power grid harmonic interference or transient fluctuation on the sampling time, the three-phase unbalanced fault misjudgment is regarded as the open-phase fault, and the current phase difference dynamic compensation and the capacitance voltage decay rate compensation judgment mechanism are introduced. That is, after the fault type is determined based on the bus voltage at the target frequency, the current phase difference dynamic compensation and the capacitance voltage decay rate compensation judgment mechanism also need to be met to finally determine the fault type.

[0055] Wherein, after determining that the time difference is in the first time range, the condition for determining that the fault type is a three-phase unbalanced fault includes: determining that the phase difference change rate of at least two-phase currents of the three-phase current of the three-phase electric system is less than or equal to a first set change rate; and / or, determining that the decay rate of the bus voltage in the period corresponding to the fault frequency is in a first decay rate range.

[0056] Wherein, the phase difference change rate of at least two-phase currents of the three-phase current refers to the change rate of the phase difference between any two phases of the three-phase current with time, which can be realized by sampling the current signal in real time and calculating the phase difference differential, and its purpose is to capture the dynamic characteristics of the current phase to distinguish the fault mode; wherein, the first set change rate 30° / s can be understood as a judgment threshold of the phase difference change rate, which can be realized by software threshold comparison or hardware comparator circuit, and its purpose is to effectively identify the feature that the phase difference changes slowly in the three-phase unbalanced fault, and avoid misjudging the sharp fluctuation of the open-phase fault as the three-phase unbalanced fault; in actual application, the decay rate of the bus voltage in the period corresponding to the fault frequency refers to the decline rate of the bus voltage in the 100Hz period, which can be realized by measuring the time difference and voltage difference between the voltage peaks and calculating the slope, and its purpose is to reflect the fault essence difference by using the voltage decay characteristics; wherein, the first decay rate range 15V / ms-25V / ms can be understood as the allowed interval of the decay rate, which can be realized by range detection logic or digital filtering algorithm, and its purpose is to select the slow decay characteristics specific to the three-phase unbalanced fault and exclude the rapid decay interference of the open-phase fault.

[0057] When the time difference is in the first time range (2-4 ms), the system verifies the phase difference change rate of the three-phase current and the bus voltage decay rate: the three-phase unbalanced fault usually causes the current phase difference to change slowly (change rate ≤ 30° / s) and the bus voltage to decay gently (decay rate is 15-25 V / ms), while the open-phase fault causes the phase difference to fluctuate rapidly (change rate > 30° / s) and the voltage to decay sharply (decay rate > 25 V / ms). Through the joint determination of the double characteristics, the ambiguity of the single time difference index can be eliminated. The use of the "and / or" logic relationship enables the system to still verify independently based on the effective characteristics when part of the sensor signals are abnormal, ensuring the robustness of fault identification and adapting to the dynamic needs of different power grid conditions.

[0058] In some embodiments, when the time difference is 3 ms, the system acquires the three-phase current signals in real time, calculates the phase difference change rate of the a-phase and c-phase currents, and if the change rate is 25° / s and the decay rate of the bus voltage in the 100 Hz cycle is 20 V / ms, the first set change rate and the double verification of the first decay rate range confirm the three-phase unbalanced fault. If only the phase difference change rate meets the condition and the decay rate exceeds the range, a secondary verification mechanism is triggered to exclude interference.

[0059] Through the above scheme, the embodiment can effectively avoid misjudgment of three-phase unbalanced fault and open-phase fault, reduce the risk of equipment operation interruption caused by false shutdown, prevent damage to the capacitor element caused by abnormal fluctuations of the bus voltage, and significantly improve the accuracy of fault detection and the safety of system operation.

[0060] In step S240, the minimum value of the second time range is greater than the maximum value of the first time range. The selection of the range is based on the voltage ripple characteristics specific to the open-phase fault and the system response delay, and a digital filtering algorithm or a hardware comparator can be used to realize boundary determination. The purpose is to form strict mutual exclusion with the time difference range of the three-phase unbalanced fault, avoiding confusion of fault characteristics. The specific range of the second time range can be set according to actual needs, for example, the second time range can be 8-10 ms.

[0061] Among them, the determination of the primary open-phase characteristic refers to triggering a characteristic recording event when the time difference falls within the second time range, which can be realized based on a programmable logic array or a software state machine. The purpose is to accumulate fault characteristics to verify fault persistence.

[0062] For example, the second time range can be 8ms-10ms. If the time difference is greater than or equal to 8ms and less than or equal to 10ms, it is marked as a single-phase failure feature. The second time range (8ms-10ms) forms a clear boundary with the first time range (2ms-4ms) of the three-phase imbalance fault, thereby eliminating the ambiguous area of fault type discrimination.

[0063] In step S250, N is a set value, which can be set according to actual conditions, and the specific value is not limited. The first time length is also a set value, which can be set according to actual conditions, and the specific value is not limited.

[0064] For example, under the condition of a 50Hz power grid, the phase failure waveform period is generally about 10ms, and 3 consecutive phase failure waveform features can be detected within 40ms. Therefore, N can be set to 3, and the first time length can be set to 40ms. That is, the phase failure features are counted within a time window of 40ms, and when the cumulative number reaches 3, the phase failure is confirmed. This dual verification mechanism based on time range exclusion and feature accumulation effectively utilizes the period stability of the voltage ripple under phase failure, while avoiding false triggering caused by transient voltage fluctuations, and realizes accurate identification of fault types.

[0065] In addition, in this step, the condition for determining that the fault type is a phase failure after N times of the phase failure waveform feature appearing within the first time length can also include: determining that the phase difference change rate of any two-phase current of the three-phase current of the three-phase power system is greater than or equal to a second set change rate; and / or, determining that the attenuation rate of the bus voltage within the period corresponding to the fault frequency is within a second attenuation rate range.

[0066] In this embodiment, by further verifying the phase difference change rate of the three-phase current or the attenuation rate of the bus voltage after detecting N times of the phase failure feature within the first time length, accurate determination of the phase failure is realized. Since the phase failure causes the loss of one-phase current, the phase difference of the remaining two-phase current will change sharply, and its change rate is significantly higher than the slow change characteristic of the three-phase imbalance fault. Therefore, when the phase difference change rate of any two-phase current reaches or exceeds 90° / s, it can be confirmed as a phase failure. At the same time, the phase failure causes severe oscillation of the system, and the attenuation rate of the bus voltage is much faster than that of the three-phase imbalance fault. When the attenuation rate is greater than or equal to 25V / ms, it also indicates that there is a phase failure. The use of "and / or" logic design allows the system to confirm the phase failure when any condition is met, which not only improves the flexibility of detection, but also avoids the risk of false judgment of a single parameter, thereby reliably distinguishing the fault types under complex working conditions.

[0067] In some embodiments, a microcontroller is configured in a control unit of a three-phase power system, which acquires three-phase current signals through an isolated current sensor and obtains bus voltage signals through a resistive voltage dividing network. A capture module of the microcontroller is used to monitor the time difference of rising edge signals, and a calculation unit is used to analyze the phase difference change trend of any two phases and the attenuation characteristics of the bus voltage within a 100Hz cycle in real time. When 3 times of open-phase characteristics within 40ms are detected, the control unit further judges whether the phase difference change rate is greater than or equal to 90° / s or the bus voltage attenuation rate is greater than or equal to 25V / ms, and if any condition is met, an open-phase fault determination logic is triggered.

[0068] Through the above technical solution, the embodiment can effectively avoid misjudging three-phase imbalance faults as open-phase faults, reduce unplanned shutdown events caused by misjudgment, and at the same time ensure timely identification and processing of real open-phase faults, thereby improving the safety and stability of the three-phase power system operation and prolonging the service life of the unit.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 a fault detection method for a three-phase power system is provided. In the fault detection method of the embodiment, after the fault type is determined, subsequent control can be performed based on the fault type to better protect the safety of the three-phase power system.

[0070] The fault detection method can include: S310, if the fault type is determined to be a three-phase imbalance fault, the operating frequency of the unit of the three-phase power system is restored to a reference frequency; S320, based on the peak-to-peak value of the bus voltage at the reference frequency and a set threshold, the operating frequency of the unit of the three-phase power system is controlled.

[0071] In step S310, the reference frequency can refer to the standard frequency of the three-phase power system in a normal operating state, which can be implemented by using a power grid standard frequency (such as 50Hz or 60Hz), and the purpose is to provide a stable reference operating point and eliminate the interference introduced by the frequency increase operation in the fault detection process.

[0072] In this step, by immediately restoring the operating frequency to the reference frequency after determining the three-phase imbalance fault, the voltage fluctuation interference caused by the previous frequency increase operation is effectively eliminated, the system returns to the stable operating point, and a reliable reference condition is provided for subsequent voltage monitoring.

[0073] In step S320, the peak-to-peak value of the bus voltage can refer to the maximum amplitude of the bus voltage. The set threshold value can refer to a voltage limit value for judging the capacitor safety state, which is configured to be 80%-90% of the rated voltage of the capacitor, aiming to reserve a safety margin while ensuring normal operation of the system, strictly avoiding the critical risk of approaching the rated voltage, which can be set according to the model and voltage withstand parameter of the bus capacitor.

[0074] Wherein, if the peak-to-peak value is less than or equal to the set threshold value, the unit of the three-phase power system is controlled to maintain the current frequency operation. It should be noted that since the reference frequency represents the stable operation state after fault recovery, the bus voltage measurement is not disturbed by the fault frequency at this time, and can accurately reflect the actual voltage fluctuation level; by directly comparing the peak-to-peak value with the threshold value to perform the frequency maintenance operation, the system omits the redundant judgment link, ensures the running continuity when the voltage fluctuation amplitude is within the safe range, thereby avoiding the accumulation of mechanical stress of equipment and the risk of capacitor overvoltage caused by frequent frequency adjustment.

[0075] Wherein, if the peak-to-peak value is greater than the set threshold value, the operating frequency of the unit of the three-phase power system is reduced at a set frequency reduction gradient until the peak-to-peak value is less than or equal to the set threshold value, or until the operating frequency of the unit of the three-phase power system is reduced to the minimum safe frequency.

[0076] It should be noted that the set frequency reduction gradient refers to the rate of frequency reduction per unit time, which can be determined by a fixed step or an adaptive algorithm, aiming to control the smoothness of frequency adjustment and prevent secondary faults caused by frequency mutation. The set frequency reduction gradient can be greater than or equal to 5 Hz and less than or equal to 25 Hz. The minimum safe frequency can be pre-calibrated to ensure the basic function of the unit. For example, the minimum safe frequency can be greater than or equal to 20 Hz and less than or equal to 30 Hz.

[0077] When the peak-to-peak value of the bus voltage at the reference frequency exceeds the set threshold value, the system triggers the frequency reduction mechanism to gradually reduce the operating frequency of the unit at a preset frequency reduction gradient. This process continuously monitors the change of the peak-to-peak value, and if the peak-to-peak value falls within the set threshold value, the frequency reduction is terminated, and if the operating frequency is reduced to the minimum safe frequency and the peak-to-peak value still does not meet the standard, the standby protection is started. The design of this double termination condition enables the system to dynamically respond to voltage fluctuations: by controlling the frequency adjustment rate through the frequency reduction gradient, it avoids system instability caused by sudden drop and ensures that the overvoltage problem is handled in a timely manner; the peak-to-peak value monitoring serves as a real-time feedback basis to accurately identify voltage state changes; the minimum safe frequency serves as a hard boundary to prevent excessive reduction of frequency from causing operation failure. The coordination of each link forms a closed-loop control, making the frequency adjustment process have both response speed and stability.

[0078] The embodiment can implement a controllable dynamic frequency reduction strategy according to the real-time comparison result of the bus voltage peak-peak value and the set threshold. The strategy effectively avoids the risk of capacitor overvoltage damage caused by the continuous overhigh bus voltage, and prevents the problem of unstable system operation caused by the excessively large or excessively fast frequency adjustment amplitude, thereby significantly improving the safe operation capability of the three-phase electric system in the fault state.

[0079] wherein, after the operating frequency of the unit of the three-phase electric system is reduced to the lowest safe frequency, if the peak-peak value is greater than the set threshold, the unit of the three-phase electric system is controlled to shut down.

[0080] In the embodiment, a peak-peak value monitoring mechanism is introduced after the operating frequency is reduced to the lowest safe frequency, and a shutdown operation is immediately performed when it is detected that the peak-peak value exceeds the set threshold. When the operating frequency of the unit has been adjusted to the lower limit of the system operation, i.e., the lowest safe frequency, if the bus voltage peak-peak value is still greater than the set threshold, it indicates that the frequency reduction measure has failed to effectively suppress the voltage overload, at which time the system automatically triggers a shutdown instruction to completely cut off the power input, thereby avoiding the risk of the capacitor continuously bearing overvoltage. The mechanism ensures that only when the voltage state continues to deteriorate after the frequency reduction protection measure is implemented to the system operation limit, the forced protection is started, which avoids the false shutdown caused by temporary fluctuations, provides sufficient buffer space for fault handling, and realizes precise protection of the capacitor safety, thereby significantly improving the safety and reliability of the system and prolonging the service life of the equipment.

[0081] In addition, in the embodiment, the fault detection method can further include: S410, if it is determined that the fault type is an open-phase fault, it is determined that H times of open-phase faults occur within a second time length, and the unit of the three-phase electric system is controlled to shut down.

[0082] In this step, H refers to a number threshold of times of open-phase faults confirmed within the second time length, which can be implemented by an integer between 1800 and 2000, and the purpose is to ensure the persistence of the fault by setting a higher number threshold, thereby effectively filtering transient fluctuations of the power grid; wherein the second time length refers to a time window for counting the number of faults, which can be set to 90 seconds, and the purpose is to provide a sufficient time span to distinguish between transient abnormalities and real faults.

[0083] It should be noted that, under the condition of a 50Hz power grid, the open-phase waveform period is about 10ms, and 3 times of open-phase waveform characteristics detected continuously within 40ms are considered as an open-phase fault. In an ideal case, 2250 times of open-phase faults can be detected within 90 seconds, and therefore, the trigger condition is set to 1800-2000 times, which can reduce false positives and improve protection reliability.

[0084] In this embodiment, the number of occurrences of the open-phase fault is continuously monitored within a time window of 90 seconds after the fault confirmation process is started upon detection of the open-phase fault; based on the fault detection mechanism of claims 1-5, the system periodically confirms the open-phase feature and accumulates the number of fault confirmations within the time window; only when the number of faults reaches or exceeds 1800, the shutdown operation is triggered; this takes advantage of the characteristics that real open-phase faults will occur stably in continuous operation while transient disturbances will only cause temporary abnormalities, thus forming a double verification mechanism to avoid misjudgment caused by accidental open-phase features, avoid unnecessary shutdown operations triggered by temporary abnormalities, reduce equipment operation interruption, and improve the operation continuity and stability of the three-phase power system.

[0085] In one exemplary embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 6 , a fault detection method for a three-phase power system is provided. In this embodiment, when the input three-phase power supply is normal in the three-phase power system, the ripple frequency of the bus voltage is generally 300 Hz. When the input power supply is open-phase or three-phase unbalanced and the unit is in low-frequency operation, three-phase unbalance and open-phase may exhibit the same characteristics, at which time the ripple frequency of the bus voltage is generally 100 Hz and presents a monotonic decreasing state, as shown in Figure 5 . When the unit is in heavy load operation, if it is three-phase unbalanced, it will cause a small wave head (short-time voltage lifting / descending wave peak) in the waveform of the bus voltage ripple frequency, as shown in Figure 6 . It should be noted that, Figure 5 and Figure 6 , ia represents the waveform of the current of phase a in the three-phase power, ib represents the waveform of the current of phase b in the three-phase power, and ic represents the waveform of the current of phase c in the three-phase power.

[0086] In order to accurately distinguish between the above open-phase fault and three-phase unbalanced fault, avoid misjudgment of protection shutdown or damage to the bus capacitor due to three-phase unbalanced not being processed in time, this embodiment proposes a fault detection method for detecting and distinguishing between open-phase fault and three-phase unbalanced fault.

[0087] In this embodiment, the bus voltage of the unit of the three-phase power system can be collected in real time, and the ripple frequency of the bus voltage is analyzed. If the ripple frequency is not 100 Hz, it is determined that the power grid is normal, that is, there is no three-phase imbalance fault and open-phase fault in the three-phase power system, and the unit can maintain the current frequency operation. If the ripple frequency of the bus voltage is detected for the first time as 100 Hz, it indicates that there is a risk of open-phase fault or three-phase imbalance fault, and the unit can be controlled to increase the frequency to the maximum operating frequency (denoted as target frequency) that can be maintained at the current ambient temperature (the frequency needs to be pre-calibrated according to the unit model and ambient temperature characteristics to ensure that the unit does not overload temporarily after frequency increase, and generally can be 80 Hz-120 Hz). After the operating frequency of the unit is increased to the target frequency, the ripple frequency and waveform of the bus voltage are detected again. If the ripple frequency remains 100 Hz, it indicates that there is no waveform abnormality, and it is determined that it is an open-phase fault (because the bus capacitor cannot be charged through the open-phase branch in the open-phase fault, the ripple frequency is stable at 100 Hz). After detecting the open-phase waveform for multiple times, the unit is immediately controlled to stop to avoid damage caused by overloading of the unit due to the open-phase. If the waveform of the ripple frequency of the bus voltage appears a small wave head, it is determined to be a three-phase imbalance. The frequency of the unit is restored to the reference frequency before the frequency increase, and the peak-to-peak value (i.e., the maximum amplitude) of the bus voltage after the restored frequency is detected and compared with a pre-set capacitor safety peak-to-peak threshold value (i.e., a set threshold value, which is set according to the model and voltage resistance parameters of the bus capacitor, and generally is set to 80%-90% of the rated voltage of the capacitor, for example, the threshold value of a 450 V capacitor can be set to 360 V-405 V).

[0088] If the peak-to-peak value is less than or equal to the set threshold value, it is determined that the bus capacitor can withstand the current load, and the unit can be controlled to maintain the current frequency for continuous operation.

[0089] If the peak-to-peak value is greater than the set threshold value, the unit is controlled to gradually decrease the frequency by a pre-set frequency decrease amplitude (i.e., a set frequency decrease gradient, which is in the range of 5 Hz-25 Hz, for example, 10 Hz can be used, and a moderate frequency decrease amplitude is selected to protect the bus capacitor and to meet the unit performance as much as possible), and the peak-to-peak value is detected again after the frequency decrease until the peak-to-peak value is less than or equal to the set threshold value. If the peak-to-peak value of the bus voltage is still greater than the set threshold value after the unit is decreased to the lowest safe frequency (pre-calibrated to ensure the basic function of the unit, generally 20 Hz-30 Hz, for example, 30 Hz, which can reduce the risk of equipment damage), it is determined that the bus capacitor cannot meet the current power grid condition (the capacitor performance is degraded or the three-phase imbalance degree exceeds the limit), and the unit is immediately controlled to stop to avoid damage caused by capacitor breakdown.

[0090] It should be noted that when the unit has an open-phase fault or a three-phase imbalance fault, the ripple amplitude of the bus voltage significantly increases, and the frequency decreases. The three-phase power system can realize real-time judgment of the fault state by collecting the bus voltage in real time and extracting the waveform characteristics thereof.

[0091] Wherein, when the fault type is judged after the machine set is controlled to increase to the target frequency, the system can continuously monitor the rising edge signal of the bus voltage, if 5 rising edges are continuously detected, it is determined that the waveform of the ripple frequency is in the rising state at this time, the time point of the rising edge is recorded as the reference time, the time of the next rising edge is detected, and the time difference t1 between the two rising edges is calculated.

[0092] Wherein, when t1 is in the range of 2ms-4ms (i.e. 2ms≤t1≤4ms), it indicates that the waveform of the bus voltage has a small wave head (because the lower phase of the three-phase imbalance can intermittently charge the bus capacitor, forming a small wave head), indicating that the three-phase imbalance fault occurs in the input power supply.

[0093] When t1 is in the range of 8ms-10ms (corresponding to the standard period of 50Hz / 60Hz power grid frequency), it is determined to be a phase loss waveform feature, the system records the number of times N of the phase loss waveform feature, and further counts whether 3 phase loss waveform features occur within 40ms (under the condition of 50Hz, the phase loss waveform period is about 10ms, and 3 consecutive phase loss waveform features can be detected within 40ms). If the condition is met, it is determined to be a phase loss fault (the cumulative number of phase loss faults is S). If 1800-2000 phase loss faults are accumulated within 90s, the phase loss protection mechanism is triggered, and the machine set is controlled to stop. For example, the power supply can be cut off or the emergency shutdown program can be started to prevent the motor from overheating or damage due to phase loss operation.

[0094] It should be noted that under the condition of 50Hz power grid, the phase loss waveform period is about 10ms, and 3 consecutive phase loss waveform features within 40ms are considered as a phase loss fault. Ideally, 2250 phase loss faults can be detected within 90 seconds, so the trigger condition is set to 1800-2000 times, which can reduce false positives and improve protection reliability.

[0095] In addition, in this embodiment, considering the complex power grid environment, to avoid the influence of power grid harmonic interference or instantaneous fluctuation on the sampling time, current phase difference dynamic compensation and capacitor voltage decay rate compensation judgment mechanism are introduced to avoid misjudgment of three-phase imbalance fault as phase loss fault. That is, after the fault type is determined based on the bus voltage under the target frequency, the current phase difference dynamic compensation and capacitor voltage decay rate compensation judgment mechanism must be met to finally determine the fault type.

[0096] Wherein, the current phase difference dynamic compensation mechanism is: The system calculates the phase difference change rate (Δθ / Δt) of the three-phase current in real time: (1) If the phase difference change rate Δθ of two-phase current is greater than or equal to 90° / s, it is determined that the fault type is a phase loss fault; (2) If the phase difference change rate Δθ of any two-phase current is less than or equal to 30° / s, it can be determined that it is a three-phase unbalanced fault.

[0097] In the capacitor voltage decay rate compensation mechanism: The decay slope (|dV / dt|) of the bus capacitor voltage in a 100Hz cycle is calculated: (1) If the decay slope |dV / dt| is greater than or equal to 25V / ms, it is determined to be an open-phase fault (only two-phase continuous current, steep slope). (2) If the decay slope |dV / dt| is greater than or equal to 15V / ms and less than or equal to 25V / ms, it can be determined that it is a three-phase unbalanced fault (three-phase intermittent current, gentle slope).

[0098] That is, for a three-phase unbalanced fault, in this embodiment, when t1 is in the 2ms-4ms time range, if it is also determined that the phase difference change rate Δθ of any two-phase current is less than or equal to 30° / s, it can be determined that the fault type is a three-phase unbalanced fault. When t1 is in the 2ms-4ms time range, if it is also determined that the decay slope |dV / dt| is greater than or equal to 15V / ms and less than or equal to 25V / ms, it can be determined that the fault type is a three-phase unbalanced fault. When t1 is in the 2ms-4ms time range, if it is also determined that the phase difference change rate Δθ of any two-phase current is less than or equal to 30° / s, and it is also determined that the decay slope |dV / dt| is greater than or equal to 15V / ms and less than or equal to 25V / ms, it can be determined that the fault type is a three-phase unbalanced fault. For the determination of an open-phase fault, reference can be made to the three-phase unbalanced fault described above, which will not be described here.

[0099] In this embodiment, no additional hardware sensors or protection modules are required, greatly reducing system cost and hardware complexity, while reducing fault points and improving reliability. Moreover, this embodiment accurately distinguishes between open-phase and three-phase imbalance through "frequency increase verification", avoiding downtime or missed protection caused by misjudgment of existing methods, and improving unit operation efficiency. In addition, this embodiment designs a peak-to-peak value grading protection for three-phase imbalance, avoids excessive voltage impact on the capacitor through frequency reduction control, and prolongs the service life of the capacitor. Furthermore, capacitor voltage impact protection and operation efficiency optimization are realized for three-phase imbalance scenarios, prolonging equipment life and reducing unnecessary downtime.

[0100] That is, the embodiment provides a detection and processing method capable of accurately distinguishing between input power open-phase and three-phase imbalance, effectively solving the misjudgment problem of traditional methods, and significantly improving the power supply reliability and operation safety of large-power air conditioning equipment.
