Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of synchronous condenser control technology, specifically relating to a system and control method suitable for starting a synchronous condenser. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the startup of large-capacity 300Mvar synchronous condensers is mostly achieved through frequency conversion startup controlled by SFC (Starting Controller), as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 8 As shown, however, on the one hand, the harmonic current is relatively large during startup, requiring an isolation transformer to reduce the impact of harmonics on the system; on the other hand, an additional startup excitation device is needed to provide excitation for the synchronous condenser. Furthermore, the SFC can only control the synchronous condenser to operate stably at around 300 r / min; extremely low-speed turning of the synchronous condenser requires a dedicated turning device. The turning device is suitable for extremely low-speed operation; the normal operating speed of the synchronous condenser is around 3000 r / min. Some synchronous condensers cannot be disconnected from the turning device during operation, and high-speed operation will affect the gearbox life of the turning device. In summary, the existing technology has the following problems:

[0003] The SFC device has a high harmonic current content during startup, requires an additional startup excitation device, and lacks the ability to rotate at extremely low speeds.

[0004] Some low-speed turning gears cannot be disconnected from the unit during normal operation of the synchronous condenser, and excessive speed and temperature affect the service life of the gearbox;

[0005] The combination of high-voltage frequency converter and asynchronous motor has a large footprint, high harmonic content during startup, and cannot stably drive the unit to operate in the extremely low speed range.

[0006] Patent CN207705809U can effectively solve the above problems by configuring a coaxial device to drive the synchronous condenser. However, the coaxial device currently generally adopts the mode of high-voltage frequency converter plus asynchronous motor. In use, on the one hand, the high-voltage frequency converter occupies a large area and needs to be installed indoors, which affects the construction of the synchronous condenser factory. On the other hand, the rectifier side of the frequency converter will generate a large harmonic current, and the harmonic content increases with the increase of the load. In addition, the high-voltage frequency converter has difficulty controlling the asynchronous motor to operate stably in the extremely low speed range, and cannot completely replace the turning gear. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel large-capacity synchronous condenser start-up system and control method to address the problems existing in the prior art. It aims to help solve a series of problems existing in the current process of large-capacity synchronous condenser turning, starting and synchronizing with the grid. At the same time, it formulates corresponding control strategies for operating conditions such as synchronous condenser turning, starting from a stationary state and restarting at any speed during shutdown, thereby improving the reliability of the synchronous condenser system.

[0008] The technical solution of this invention is:

[0009] A system suitable for starting a synchronous condenser includes a brushless doubly-fed motor or a doubly-fed motor coaxially connected to a large-capacity synchronous condenser. The motor includes a high-voltage winding and a low-voltage winding, which are respectively connected to a high-voltage power grid and a low-voltage power grid via contactors. The contactor connected to the low-voltage winding is connected to an inverter unit of a low-voltage four-quadrant frequency converter, and the inverter unit of the low-voltage four-quadrant frequency converter is connected to a step-down transformer.

[0010] A control method for starting a camera, using the system described above, includes the following steps:

[0011] S1. Select the current operating mode based on the received external instructions and the unit's operating status, and control the startup system to execute the corresponding operation;

[0012] S2. In the barring operation state, the barring operation is logically controlled, and the brushless doubly fed motor or the doubly fed motor can drive the synchronous condenser to achieve extremely low-speed barring operation.

The upper bridge arm of the converter in the inverter unit of the low-voltage four-quadrant frequency converter is kept in the open state, and the lower bridge arm is in the on state by default. When the off signal is detected, it is adjusted to the off state. After the off signal is reset, it is restored to the on state.

[0018] (3) Given a rotational speed n r * As a set value, the actual rotational speed n of the synchronous condenser is collected. r As feedback, the required current amplitude i is calculated using a PI controller. 1amp * Used for wave-by-wave current limiting control;

[0020] Specifically, the steps for dragging and controlling the camera in step S3, whether in a stationary state or at any rotation speed, are as follows:

[0021] (1) Close the contactor connected to the brushless doubly-fed motor or the high-voltage winding of the doubly-fed motor, and detect the three-phase voltage u of the brushless doubly-fed motor or the low-voltage winding of the doubly-fed motor. abc1 The three-phase voltage u of the high-voltage winding abc2 u is obtained using a phase-locked loop. abc1 The electric angular velocity Ω1, vector magnitude and phase, u abc2 The electric angular velocity Ω2;

[0022] (2) Calculate the control mode selection coefficient k using the following formula (1), where n r To adjust the camera rotation speed, n e =60f g / p e For brushless doubly fed motors or the synchronous speed of doubly fed motors,

[0023]

[0024] (3) The converter in the rectifier unit of the four-quadrant frequency converter operates in rectification mode, and then the contactor connected to the brushless doubly fed motor or the low-voltage winding of the doubly fed motor is closed. The converter output in the inverter unit of the low-voltage four-quadrant frequency converter is connected to u abc1 With the same voltage vector, the control enters the doubly-fed operation mode;

[0025] (4) Calculate the reactive power feedback value Q using the following formula (2), based on the detected n r Select the control loop corresponding to k, and drag the synchronous condenser's rotation speed to the synchronous speed, preparing for synchronous grid connection.

[0026]

[0027] Specifically, in step S4, the braking and stopping mode, the specific steps for controlling the braking and stopping of the synchronous condenser are as follows:

[0028] (1) After detecting that the synchronous condenser disconnects the stator and rotor power supply, repeat steps (1) to (4) in step S2;

[0029] (2) The synchronous condenser speed was detected to have dropped to n. e =60f g / p eThen, first disconnect the contactor connected to the brushless doubly fed motor or the low-voltage winding of the doubly fed motor, and then disconnect the contactor connected to the high-voltage winding in the low-voltage winding of the brushless doubly fed motor or the low-voltage winding of the doubly fed motor.

[0030] (3) Repeat steps (1) to (3) in S3, control the synchronous condenser speed to drop to 5 r / min, disconnect the contactor connected to the brushless doubly fed motor or the low voltage winding of the doubly fed motor, and then disconnect the contactor connected to the high voltage winding in the low voltage winding of the brushless doubly fed motor or the doubly fed motor, and stop the synchronous condenser.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the system provided by this invention aims to help solve a series of problems existing in the current process of large-capacity synchronous condenser turning, starting and synchronizing with the grid. At the same time, it formulates corresponding control strategies for operating conditions such as synchronous condenser turning, starting from a stationary state and restarting at any speed during shutdown, thereby improving the reliability of the synchronous condenser system.
