[0051] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in connection with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, any person skilled in the art can obtain all other embodiments without creative work, which are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] The core of the present application is to provide an alternating current power supply control method, a power supply system, a locomotive vehicle and a medium, so as to solve the technical problem that in the related power supply control, in order to meet the power supply demand of the load, the power of the input power supply of the load is correspondingly increased, the power supply module needs to be redesigned, and the power supply is prone to failure and resource waste.

[0053] In order to enable the person skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in connection with the drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a power supply system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. Figure 1 The figure does not show), a plurality of power supplies and switching elements, the power supplies and the switching elements correspond one by one; the controller is connected with the input end of the power supply, the output end of the power supply is connected with the fixed end of the switching element, and the movable end of the switching element is connected with the load to be powered through the load bus. It is worth noting that the power supply system can be located on one locomotive, or can be located on a plurality of locomotives. The controller can be a network control system. The switching element can be a contactor or a switch. The alternating current power supply control method provided by the present application is applied to the controller in the power supply system. Figure 2 A flowchart of an alternating current power supply control method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. Figure 2 The method comprises the following steps.

[0054] S10: obtaining the voltage condition on the load bus;

[0055] S11: judging whether the voltage condition is no voltage on the load bus; if yes, going to step S12; if no, going to step S13;

[0056] S12: starting the first target power supply; controlling the switching element corresponding to the first target power supply to be closed, so as to connect the first target power supply to the load bus;

[0057] The first target power supply is any one of the plurality of power supplies;

[0058] S13: obtaining a reference phase matching parameter of the power supply connected to the load bus; starting the second target power supply, and controlling the phase matching parameter of the second target power supply to be consistent with the reference phase matching parameter; controlling the switch element corresponding to the second target power supply to be closed, so as to connect the second target power supply to the load bus;

[0059] The second target power supply is any one of the remaining power supplies except the power supply connected to the load bus.

[0060] The power supply mode on the load bus includes but is not limited to single-phase alternating current, three-phase alternating current, etc. The system also has functions of cooperative control operation monitoring, load distribution adjustment, overload / fault protection, etc. The number of power supplies is not limited, as long as the output power of the plurality of power supplies meets the power supply demand of the load. In order to obtain the voltage on the load bus, the load bus voltage sensor can be used for detection. Therefore, the power supply system also includes a load bus voltage sensor. The load bus voltage sensor corresponds to one power supply; or, a plurality of power supplies on the same vehicle correspond to one load bus voltage sensor.

[0061] Obtaining the voltage on the load bus includes:

[0062] Obtaining the voltage signal collected by the load bus voltage sensor, and determining the voltage value according to the voltage signal;

[0063] In the case where the voltage value is less than the preset voltage value, it is determined that the voltage on the load bus is no voltage;

[0064] In the case where the voltage value is greater than or equal to the preset voltage value, it is determined that the voltage on the load bus is voltage.

[0065] The preset voltage is not limited and can be close to 0 or equal to 0. After obtaining the voltage on the load bus through the load bus voltage sensor, if there is no voltage, a power supply is started first, and the power supply is connected to the load bus through the closed switch element. If there is voltage, a new power supply is started, and the switch element corresponding to the new power supply is closed, so that the new power supply is connected to the load bus and cooperates to supply power to the load.

[0066] In order to meet the power supply demand of the load, in the implementation, the power supply system also includes a power detector. The power detector corresponds to one power supply, and the output end of the power supply is connected to the fixed end of the switch element through the power detector. Figure 3A topology diagram of a multi-power supply collaborative control circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the power supply, power detector, contactor / switch and load bus voltage sensor are connected in sequence and finally connected to the load bus.

[0067] Before the switching element corresponding to the target power supply is closed, the following is also included:

[0068] The output of the target power supply is detected by a power detector corresponding to the target power supply; wherein the target power supply is either the first target power supply or the second target power supply.

[0069] The closing of the switching element corresponding to the power supply of the control target includes:

[0070] When the output voltage of the target power supply is detected to reach the target voltage value, the corresponding switching element of the target power supply is controlled to close.

[0071] There is no limit to the target voltage value; it can be designed according to actual requirements.

[0072] To ensure the stability of power supply to the load from multiple power sources, in some embodiments, after detecting that the output voltage of the target power source has reached the target voltage value, and before controlling the corresponding switching element of the target power source to close, the following steps are also included:

[0073] Determine if there is an output fault based on the output status; among them, output faults include at least overcurrent faults and voltage fluctuation faults.

[0074] If not, proceed to the step of closing the switching element corresponding to the power supply of the control target;

[0075] If so, the power supply to the target device will be shut off.

[0076] In this method, the switching element corresponding to the target power supply is closed only if there is no output fault. Otherwise, the target power supply is turned off, that is, the target power supply is not used to supply power to the load, thus ensuring the stability of the load when multiple power supplies are used to supply power.

[0077] To avoid multiple power supplies being connected to the load bus simultaneously, which could affect output power due to phase interference, this invention connects the power supplies to the load bus one by one. To improve the efficiency of connecting the power supplies to the load bus, in some embodiments, before obtaining the voltage status on the load bus, the invention further includes: obtaining a pre-set power supply sequence for the multiple power supplies. Starting the target power supply includes: starting the target power supply according to the power supply sequence.

[0078] After determining that the target power supply is for the load, the following steps are also included:

[0079] Determine the next power supply for the target power supply based on the power supply sequence, and use the next power supply as the new target power supply; return to the step of obtaining the voltage status on the load bus.

[0080] If the power supply sequence is not specified, it shall be determined based on the actual situation. Figure 3 The power supply sequence is given from 1 to N. Starting the target power supply according to the power supply sequence allows for a clear understanding of the power supply to be started, improving the efficiency of power supply connection to the load bus.

[0081] After the switching element corresponding to the target power supply is closed, there is a possibility that the closure may fail, resulting in the target power supply not being connected to the load bus. To avoid this situation, after the switching element corresponding to the target power supply is closed, the following steps are also included:

[0082] Obtain the current state of the switching element corresponding to the target power supply;

[0083] If the current state is detected to be closed, the target power supply is determined to supply power to the load;

[0084] If the current state is detected as disconnected, the control shuts down the switching element corresponding to the target power supply and returns to the step of obtaining the current state of the switching element corresponding to the target power supply.

[0085] In this method, after the switch element corresponding to the target power supply is closed, the state of the switch element is continuously detected. If it is not closed, it is controlled to close, thus ensuring that the target power supply is connected to the load bus and meets the power supply requirements of the load.

[0086] The AC power supply control method provided in this invention is applied to a power supply system. First, compared to increasing the output power of a single power supply to meet the load's power requirements, the method uses multiple power supplies to simultaneously supply power to the load. This allows for stable high-power output with lower-power supplies, significantly improving power supply capacity. It eliminates the need to redesign the power supply, reducing its failure rate. Furthermore, the power supply output is controllable by using switching elements to connect the power supplies to the load bus, avoiding resource waste caused by redesigning and manufacturing high-power output power supplies. Second, during the synchronous power supply control process, the voltage on the load bus is analyzed. If there is no voltage, one power supply is activated, and its corresponding switching element is closed, enabling that power supply to supply power to the load. Further, when voltage is detected on the load bus, a new power supply is activated and connected to the load bus to collaboratively supply power to the load. Multiple power supplies are connected to the load bus one by one, rather than simultaneously. Moreover, when a new power supply is started, the corresponding switch element is not directly controlled to close. Instead, the phase matching parameters of the newly started power supply are controlled to be consistent with the reference phase matching parameters of the power supplies connected to the load bus. The switch element is closed only after they are consistent. This avoids the situation where the output voltage cancels each other out due to the phase mismatch of the power supplies, which would affect the output power. This ensures that the output of multiple power supplies can meet the load requirements.

[0087] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the AC synchronous power supply control method described above, the power supply control method will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Specifically:

[0088] 1) Based on the characteristics of existing locomotives and rolling stock, a multi-power supply circuit topology is established, as shown in the above text. Figure 3 As shown.

[0089] 1) A preset power supply sequence is established. For example, power supply 1 is switched on first, followed by power supply 2, and so on until power supply N is switched on. Alternatively, power supply N can be switched on first, followed by power supply 2, and then power supply 1. This power supply sequence can be preset and adjusted as desired. Differences in the power supply sequence do not affect the scope of protection of this patent.

[0090] 2) A preset power supply sequence is established. For example, power supply 1 is switched on first, followed by power supply 2, and so on until power supply N is switched on. Alternatively, power supply N can be switched on first, followed by power supply 2, and then power supply 1. This power supply sequence can be preset and adjusted as desired. Differences in the power supply sequence do not affect the scope of protection of this invention.

[0091] 3) Power supply activation when there is no power supply on the load bus. The control process is as follows: the load bus sensor is collected and the voltage of the load bus is not available; the power supply with the power supply sequence 1 is started; after the output sensor of power supply 1 detects its own output power supply voltage, it controls the closing of the output contactor / switch of power supply 1 so that the power of power supply 1 can be transferred to the load bus.

[0092] 4) When there is power supply on the load bus, the control process is as follows: the load bus sensor is collected to obtain the load bus voltage; the power supply in the power supply sequence is started, and the power supply in the sequence is actively adjusted to match the "voltage value and phase" of its power supply with the load bus power supply by detecting the output power supply voltage of the power supply's output sensor; when they match, the power supply controls the power supply to close the output contactor / switch so that the power supply's power is transferred to the load bus.

[0093] 5) If a power supply fails during the power supply process, shut off that power supply and disconnect the vehicle's output contactor / switch.

[0094] Figure 4 This is an overall flowchart of a power supply control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0095] S14: Cooperative power supply enabled;

[0096] S15: Determine if it is the power supply sequence K of this power supply; if not, proceed to step S16; if yes, proceed to step S17.

[0097] S16: Waiting for power;

[0098] S17: Determine if there is voltage on the bus load; if not, proceed to step S18; if yes, proceed to step S25.

[0099] S18: Power on this power supply;

[0100] S19: The power supply detector detects the output of this power supply;

[0101] S20: Determine if there is an output fault; if not, proceed to step S21; if yes, proceed to step S28.

[0102] S21: Controls the closing of the power supply output contactor / switch;

[0103] S22: Determine if there is an output fault; if not, proceed to step S23; if yes, proceed to step S24.

[0104] S23: Power supply is complete. Proceed to the next power supply sequence, K=K+1;

[0105] S24: Control the shutdown of this power supply, disconnect the output contactor / switch of this power supply, and proceed to step S23;

[0106] S25: Power supply for starting this power supply;

[0107] S26: The power supply detector of this power supply detects the output power supply voltage and actively adjusts the voltage value and phase of its power supply to be consistent with the load bus power supply.

[0108] S27: Determine if there is an output fault; if not, proceed to step S21; if yes, proceed to step S28.

[0109] S28: Control the power supply of this power supply to be turned off, and proceed to step S23.

[0110] The method provided in this embodiment employs a system and approach for supplying power to the same load from multiple different AC power inputs in a locomotive or rolling stock. This allows two or more power sources to share the power output when the power capacity of a single power source is insufficient, significantly increasing the power output capability. Furthermore, the output power of a single power source does not need to be very large, facilitating simplified and modular design and reducing equipment failure rates.

[0111] The following two examples illustrate the method provided by this invention:

[0112] First example: Suppose a train formation requires a single-phase AC 1000V / 22Hz bus power supply with a capacity of 300kW; however, a single locomotive can only output a single-phase AC 1000V / 22Hz bus power supply with a capacity of 250kW. Therefore, two or more locomotives can be connected in parallel to supply power, without needing to increase the power supply capacity of each locomotive, thus meeting the bus power supply requirement. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the power supply output is controlled collaboratively by the power supplies of two locomotives.

[0113] The two train power supplies work together to control the output of power, and the power supply sequence is agreed upon: the power supply from locomotive 1 is sequence 1; the power supply from locomotive 2 is sequence 2.

[0114] When the train is assembled and the driver operates the power supply, the first power supply (Sequence 1) first checks the voltage on the load bus and identifies it as having no voltage. The first power supply then controls its external power output, and after recognizing that the voltage has reached the target level, it connects the power supply to the load bus via its output contactor / switch. After the first power supply completes its power supply, the second power supply starts its power output and, based on the output voltage detected by its output sensor, actively adjusts its power supply voltage and phase to match the load bus power supply. Then, it connects the power supply to the load bus via its output contactor / switch.

[0115] The second example: Suppose a three-car train requires a three-phase AC 380V / 50Hz bus power supply, with each car requiring 150kW of power, for a total of 450kW. However, each car can only output a single-phase AC 380V / 50Hz bus power supply, with a capacity of only 250kW. Therefore, a coordinated power supply from all three cars can be used to meet the load bus power supply requirements, ensuring that the power supply to all three cars remains unaffected even if one car experiences a power failure. In this embodiment, a three-car train is assumed to be used. The power supply sequence is defined as follows: Car 1 is sequence 1; Car 2 is sequence 2; Car 3 is sequence 3.

[0116] When the train is assembled and the driver authorizes power supply, car 1 first checks the voltage on the load bus and identifies it as having no voltage. Car 1 then controls its own power supply output, and after recognizing the target voltage, it connects the power supply to the load bus via its own output contactor / switch. After car 1 completes its power supply, car 2 starts its own power supply output and actively adjusts its power supply voltage and phase to match the load bus power supply, based on the output voltage detected by its own output sensors. Then, it connects the power supply to the load bus via its own output contactor / switch. The startup process for car 3 is the same as for car 2. If car 2 malfunctions, the power supply from car 3 can be directly connected, ensuring the power supply needs of the entire train are met.

[0117] The method provided by this invention enables stable high-power output using a relatively low-power power supply, significantly improving power supply capacity. It primarily addresses issues such as the coordinated control of synchronous AC power supply from multiple power sources, and can resolve problems related to synchronous power supply to auxiliary systems and simultaneous power supply from multiple locomotives to external systems in existing eight-axle and twelve-axle locomotives.

[0118] The above describes a method for controlling the power supply of alternating current. This embodiment also provides a power supply system, including a controller, multiple power supplies and switching elements, with each power supply and switching element corresponding to the other. The controller is connected to the input terminal of the power supply, the output terminal of the power supply is connected to the stationary terminal of the switching element, and the moving terminal of the switching element is connected to the load to be powered via a load bus.
