Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of capacitors, and particularly relates to a dry-type DC support capacitor for an intelligent power grid. Background Technique

[0002] The DC support capacitor is a key device for the converter valve of the intelligent power grid, and mainly plays roles such as stabilizing voltage and filtering. At present, in equipment such as high-power STATCOM and DC capacitors for flexible DC transmission projects, high-voltage and large-capacity DC support capacitors are required. The common features of such capacitors are dry structure, high voltage, large capacity, and large weight. The weight range of the DC support capacitor is between 100 and 210 kg, and the weight of the cast resin is between 20 and 50 kg.

[0003] There are relatively many such DC support capacitors in engineering applications, and the requirements for the reliability and consistency of their product performance are also relatively high. The owner has added a special test item of the partial discharge test between the terminal and the shell (pole shell) according to the actual use conditions. The current voltage levels of the DC support capacitors in use are mainly 2.2 kV DC and 2.8 kV DC. Requirements for the partial discharge test between the terminal and the shell: First, raise the voltage from the terminal to the shell to 5 kV ACrms Keep it for 10 s, record the partial discharge value (only for recording, not as a criterion for judgment), and lower the voltage to 3 kV ACrms Keep it for 60 s to measure the partial discharge amount, and the partial discharge amount is less than 10 pC. At present, the related products can basically reach 3 kV ACrms Keep the partial discharge amount for 60 s less than 10 Pc, but for 5 kV ACrms Keep the partial discharge amount for 10 s less than 50 Pc.

[0004] Document CN107275087B discloses a DC capacitor for an ultra-high-power three-level frequency converter. The capacitor is composed of a shell, a core, a wiring terminal, filled resin, and a pressure relief valve. This DC capacitor has the characteristics of small heat generation, good heat dissipation performance, high insulation withstand voltage strength, strong ability to withstand large current, low inductance, safe operation, dry type, oil-free and leak-free, etc.

[0005] Document CN209487322U discloses a power electronic capacitor for a flexible DC system, including a shell, a first core, and a second core. The first core includes a first element group, a first integral copper bar, and a second integral copper bar. The second core includes a second element group, a third integral copper bar, and a fourth integral copper bar. The integral copper bars adopt a low-inductance structure with tin-soldered leads and are welded at both ends of the element group. This capacitor realizes the goals of high voltage, large capacity, and large current of the capacitor, selects the integral copper bar welding method to reduce the inherent inductance, adopts the reverse parallel connection method, and uses the negative mutual inductance to reduce the equivalent inductance.

[0006] The capacitors with the above structure mainly consider the characteristics of heat dissipation, insulation, high current resistance, and low inductance, and all have a multi-core structure inside. Related products can basically reach 3 kV. ACrms It is required that the partial discharge amount within 60 s be less than 10 pC. In the above structures, the copper busbars are directly welded to the components. When the capacitor is subjected to a large electro-dynamic impact force, the copper busbars may directly pull or break the solder joints of the components, which may cause discharge at the solder joints and a decrease in capacitance.

[0007] With the development of the converter valve technology in the smart grid, relevant converter valve manufacturers have gradually adopted high-voltage IGBT devices to reduce the size of the converter valve. The voltage level of the DC support capacitor has become 4 kV DC, and the requirements for the partial discharge test between the terminal and the shell have also been increased. Requirements for the partial discharge test between the terminal and the shell: First, raise the voltage from the terminal to the shell to 7 kV. ACrms Maintain for 10 s, record the partial discharge value (only for recording, not as a criterion for judgment), and then reduce the voltage to 5 kV. ACrms Maintain for 60 s to measure the partial discharge amount, and the partial discharge amount should be less than 10 pC. It is very difficult for existing products to meet the corresponding requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure and related production processes of the DC support capacitor to improve the partial discharge level of the DC support capacitor.

[0008] In summary, this type of DC support capacitor needs to solve technical problems such as electro-dynamic force and partial discharge during the partial discharge test between the terminal and the shell, and at the same time improve the quality and lifespan of the capacitor.
