Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power systems, and particularly relates to a single-phase compensation intelligent capacitor. Background Technique

[0002] With the continuous progress of power electronics, energy conservation, and control technologies, reactive power compensation, as an important part of power systems, is becoming more and more widely used in power systems. As a member of reactive power compensation products, intelligent capacitors are also becoming more and more popular.

[0003] Intelligent capacitors integrate advanced technologies such as modern measurement and control, power electronics, network communication, automation control, and power capacitors, and have the characteristics of better compensation effect, smaller volume, lower power consumption, lower price, more cost savings, more flexible use, more convenient maintenance, longer service life, and higher reliability, meeting the higher requirements of modern power grids for reactive power compensation.

[0004] In the current domestic market, the vast majority of intelligent capacitors use the three-phase common compensation method to compensate the power factor. Some use magnetic control switches as the switching switches of capacitors, and some use thyristors as the switching switches of capacitors. The disadvantage of this three-phase common compensation intelligent capacitor is that it cannot effectively compensate the reactive power for unbalanced three-phase loads. The three-phase common compensation intelligent capacitor defaults that the three-phase reactive currents in the system are equal, and the reactive power compensation capacity for each phase is also the same. For systems with a large number of unbalanced three-phase loads, when using three-phase common compensation intelligent capacitors, under-compensation and over-compensation problems will occur in two of the three phases, and the compensation effect is very poor.

[0005] When using a magnetic control switch as the switching switch of the capacitor, when the capacity of the intelligent capacitor reaches more than 20 kvar, the switching speed is slow, and it cannot track the reactive power changes of the system in time, and it is very easy to have problems of over-compensation or under-compensation. In a system with frequent reactive power changes, it is impossible to ensure that the system power factor always remains at a high level.

[0006] Due to the widespread application of various power rectification and commutation equipment and the application of a large number of nonlinear and time-varying loads, the harmonic content in the power system increases, resulting in an increase in electricity cost, more severe heating of transformers, malfunction of electronic equipment, and inability to operate capacitor compensation. More seriously, when the capacitor bank and the system generate parallel resonance, the current increases exponentially, causing the switch to trip, the fuse to blow, and the switching switch to burn. In addition, harmonic voltage accelerates the attenuation of capacitors and shortens their service life. Therefore, intelligent capacitors must have the function of suppressing harmonics, otherwise they cannot be used normally in many systems.

[0007] Generally, users adopt the method of manual regular inspection to ensure the safe operation of intelligent capacitors. The capacity of each intelligent capacitor generally does not exceed 50 kvar. Under normal circumstances, the number of intelligent capacitors installed by users is very large, so the work of manual inspection is extremely heavy. Moreover, manual regular inspection cannot promptly detect and handle problems that occur in the equipment. With the popularization of 5G and the development of narrowband Internet of Things (NBI-oT) technology, electrical equipment can already use wireless transmission technology to real-time feedback the equipment status to the terminal display device. Thereby reducing the work intensity of the inspection personnel, promptly detecting problems existing in the equipment, and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, having the function of remote wireless networking is an important direction for the development of intelligent capacitors. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The utility model is now described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.

[0030] A phase-splitting compensation intelligent capacitor comprises a housing 1, a circuit breaker 2, a thyristor 3, a radiator 4, an axial flow fan 5, a single-phase anti-harmonic reactor 6, a single-phase capacitor group 7 and a main control board 9. The circuit breaker 2, the thyristor 3, the radiator 4, the axial flow fan 5, the single-phase anti-harmonic reactor 6, the single-phase capacitor group 7 and the main control board 9 are arranged inside the housing 1. The circuit breaker 2 is located at the upper position inside the housing 1. The circuit breaker 2 is connected to the main circuit of the system. The circuit breaker 2 is connected to the thyristor 3 through a wire and supplies power to the thyristor 3. The thyristor 3 is fixedly arranged on the radiator 4. The tube 3 is connected to the single-phase anti-harmonic inductor 6 through a wire, and the single-phase anti-harmonic inductor 6 is installed on the bottom plate of the shell 1. The single-phase anti-harmonic inductor 6 is connected to the single-phase capacitor group 7 through a wire, and the single-phase capacitor group 7 is fixedly arranged on the bottom plate of the shell 1. The radiator 4 is fixed on the mounting plate of the shell 1, and the axial flow fan 5 is placed at one end of the radiator to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 4. The main control board 9 is externally connected to the external cloud server for data transmission, and the main control board 9 is internally connected to the thyristor 3 and the axial flow fan 5 through wires to realize opening and closing control.

[0031] The main control board 9 includes an NB-IoT communication module 9-1 and a controller 9-2. The NB-IoT communication module 9-1 is connected to the cloud server for communication. The controller 9-2 is connected to the thyristor 3 and the axial flow fan 5 respectively through wires. The controller 9-2 controls the opening and closing of the thyristor 3 and drives the axial flow fan 5 to start and stop.

[0032] The thyristor 3 is an electronic switch used for switching the single-phase capacitor bank 7 and the single-phase anti-harmonic reactor 6. The thyristor 3 has the advantage of fast response speed and can complete switching within 20 milliseconds. It is suitable for sites with drastic load changes. Zero-crossing triggering can ensure that there is no impact or surge on the system, ensuring the stability of the system. The radiator 4 and the axial flow fan 5 can well solve the problem of heat dissipation of the thyristor 3.

[0033] By setting the upper voltage limit value and the lower voltage limit value in the controller 9-2, comparing the voltage in the main circuit of the system with the upper and lower voltage limit values, the process of controlling the turning on and off of the thyristor 3 is realized, so as to realize the input or cut-off of the single-phase anti-harmonic reactor 6. During the whole process, the controller 9-2 dynamically controls the switching to ensure that the voltage value of the main circuit of the system always meets the set value.

[0034] This device realizes the functions of phase-separated switching, harmonic suppression and remote wireless networking through the thyristor 3, the single-phase anti-harmonic reactor 6 and the main control board 9.

At the same time, the single-phase anti-harmonic reactor 6 adopted has a reactance rate of 7% or 14%. At the site where the harmonic content of the 3rd, 5th and 7th harmonics is relatively large, it can well ensure the normal use of the intelligent capacitor, prevent the damage of harmonics to the capacitor, and can well extend the service life of the capacitor.

[0042] The main device for the present utility model to achieve the remote wireless networking function is the NB-IoT communication module 9-1 integrated on the main control board.
