Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an inverter, specifically a nine-level T-type inverter, and a long-distance power transmission device using the nine-level T-type inverter. Background Technology
[0002] Underground power systems in coal mines are crucial infrastructure for coal production, and their stability and efficiency directly impact the safety and economic benefits of the mine. As mining depth increases, the underground power load and transmission distance also increase, placing higher technical demands on power transmission equipment. However, existing underground power transmission systems in coal mines still face numerous technical challenges in achieving efficient long-distance power transmission.
[0003] The underground environment in coal mines is complex, characterized by high humidity, high dust levels, high temperatures, and flammable and explosive conditions, requiring power transmission equipment to possess high environmental adaptability. Meanwhile, voltage loss and harmonic interference in transmission lines are also major technical bottlenecks for long-distance power transmission underground.
[0004] High voltage loss: Due to the long transmission distance, traditional power transmission equipment suffers high losses under heavy load conditions, making it difficult to maintain a stable output voltage.
[0005] Harmonic interference: Underground power grids in coal mines typically have a wide variety of loads, resulting in severe harmonic pollution. This affects the normal operation of electrical equipment and increases the risk of equipment failure.
[0006] Currently, long-distance power transmission in coal mines mainly uses traditional two-level or three-level inverters in conjunction with transmission transformers for AC power transmission. This method has the following problems:
[0007] High voltage stress: In traditional two-level and three-level inverters, each switching device needs to withstand the full DC bus voltage, resulting in high device losses and large electromagnetic interference.
[0008] High harmonic content: The output voltage waveform of two-level or three-level topologies is relatively poor, requiring complex filters to meet the harmonic standards of coal mine power grids.
[0009] Insufficient equipment reliability: In the high humidity, high temperature and flammable and explosive underground environment, the power devices of traditional inverters are prone to failure during long-term operation, affecting the continuity of power supply from the grid.
[0010] In summary, existing underground power transmission systems in coal mines still suffer from inefficiency in long-distance power transmission. Summary of the Invention
