[0002] Existing generator circuit breakers are mainly of the mechanical type. The HECS type mechanical circuit breaker developed by ABB is the most widely used.

In recent years, generator circuit breakers have been widely installed in newly built thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, hydropower plants and pumped storage power plants in China.

Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, this application proposes a topological structure of a circuit breaker and a power system that can be applied to the outlet of important auxiliary equipment of a 1000MW unit, which can quickly cut off the fault current to ensure the safety of the power system.

[0005] In the first aspect, the topological structure of the circuit breaker for the outlet of important auxiliary equipment of a 1000MW unit provided by this application includes a first breaking branch and a second breaking branch connected in parallel;

[0006] The first breaking branch includes a mechanical switch, and the second breaking branch includes a diode, an electronic switch branch, a buffer branch and a dissipative branch;

[0007] The electronic switch branch, the buffer branch and the dissipative branch are connected in parallel to form a first parallel end and a second parallel end, and diodes are connected to both the first parallel end and the second parallel end; the diode connected to the first parallel end is connected to one end of the high-voltage line, and the diode connected to the second parallel end is connected to the other end of the high-voltage line;

[0008] The electronic switch branch is provided with at least one fully controlled switch device, the buffer branch is provided with a capacitor, and the dissipative branch is provided with a lightning arrester.

[0009] Preferably, the high-voltage line uses ABC three-phase lines, where:

[0010] The first end of the A-phase line is connected to the first parallel end through a first diode, and the second end of the A-phase line is connected to the second parallel end through a sixth diode;

[0011] The first end of the B-phase line is connected to the first parallel end through a second diode, and the second end of the B-phase line is connected to the second parallel end through a fifth diode;

[0012] The first end of the C-phase line is connected to the first parallel end through a third diode, and the second end of the C-phase line is connected to the second parallel end through a fourth diode.

[0013] Preferably, the first breaking branch specifically includes a first mechanical switch, a second mechanical switch, and a third mechanical switch;

[0014] The first end of the A-phase line is connected to the second end of the A-phase line through the first mechanical switch;

[0015] The first end of the B-phase line is connected to the second end of the B-phase line through the second mechanical switch;

[0016] The first end of the C-phase line is connected to the second end of the C-phase line through the third mechanical switch.

[0031] Some embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principle of the present application and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] First, according to the regulations in the latest version of the "Technical Code for the Design of Thermal Power Plants" in China: "When it is technically and economically reasonable, a generator circuit breaker or load switch can be installed at the outlet of a generator with a capacity of 600 MW units." Whether it is a thermal power unit, a nuclear power unit or a hydropower unit, the power level is above one hundred megawatts, and the short-circuit current is above one hundred kiloamperes. Therefore, it is required that the mechanical switch has an ultra-large fault current arc extinguishing ability. Secondly, compared with the power transmission and transformation lines, the standard time constant of the generator is longer. Therefore, the decay process of the generator when disconnecting the short-circuit current is much longer than that of ordinary power transmission and transformation lines. In the case of no current zero point within several power frequency cycles after the fault occurs, the circuit breaker will face the opening of an asymmetric short-circuit current with a higher DC component. It can be seen that the generator circuit breaker must withstand a longer arc extinguishing time or have a forced function that can quickly make the current pass through zero. Moreover, when the generator circuit breaker opens the system short-circuit fault, it is required to have the ability to withstand a higher recovery voltage and recovery voltage rise rate. In the actual system, the recovery voltage rise rate of the generator circuit breaker is as high as 4 kV / μs, while the ordinary circuit breaker only requires a recovery voltage rise rate of 0.34 kV / μs. It can be seen that the generator circuit breaker must have an extremely high dielectric recovery speed and a higher insulation level.

[0033] Based on this, the topology structure of the circuit breaker at the outlet of the important auxiliary equipment of the 1000 MW unit proposed in the present application eliminates the arc extinguishing process of the large current mechanical switch and can quickly interrupt the fault current, so as to meet the requirements of various actual application scenarios and has a wide application prospect.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, the hybrid generator circuit breaker shown in the figure specifically adopts the topology structure of the circuit breaker at the outlet of the important auxiliary equipment of the 1000 MW unit proposed in the present application. In the application scenario of this circuit breaker, the three-phase high-voltage transmission lines at the outlet of the generator are connected to the step-up transformer through the hybrid generator circuit breaker. When a short-circuit fault occurs in some equipment or devices around the generator, such as the important auxiliary equipment of the unit, the hybrid generator circuit breaker can quickly disconnect the fault current, avoid the influence of the transient recovery voltage and the transient recovery voltage rise rate on the arc reignition, and play an effective short-circuit protection role. Preferably, the generator shown in the figure can be specifically a 1000 MW unit.

[0035] The important outgoing circuit breaker of the 1000MW unit of the present application will be introduced in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, an important outgoing circuit breaker of the 1000MW unit provided by the present application includes a first breaking branch 10 and a second breaking branch 20 connected in parallel;

[0037] The first breaking branch 10 may include a mechanical switch, and the second breaking branch 20 includes an electronic switch branch 21, a buffer branch 22, a power-consuming branch 23, and a diode 24;

[0038] The electronic switch branch 21, the buffer branch 22, and the power-consuming branch 23 are connected in parallel to form a first parallel end and a second parallel end, and diodes 24 are connected to both the first parallel end and the second parallel end;

[0039] In practical applications, the diode connected to the first parallel end is connected to one end of the high-voltage line, and the diode connected to the second parallel end is connected to the other end of the high-voltage line; for example, one end of the high-voltage line mentioned here can be understood as Figure 1 the end connected to the generator as shown in Figure 1 and the other end of the high-voltage line mentioned here refers to

[0040] In this embodiment specifically, at least one fully controlled switch device is provided in the electronic switch branch 21, a capacitor is provided in the buffer branch, and a lightning arrester is provided in the power-consuming branch.

[0041] In the specific implementation manner, the electronic switch branch 21 may be formed by using one fully controlled switch device, or formed by using multiple series-connected fully controlled switch devices, or formed by using a thyristor series digital input / output module (abbreviated as SM module), and the SM module is specifically formed by connecting multiple fully controlled switch devices according to a set topology structure. In practical applications, the fully controlled switch device usually adopts an IGBT module, and the IGBT module is specifically an insulated gate bipolar transistor with an anti-parallel diode (also called a freewheeling diode).

[0042] In a specific implementation manner, the circuit breaker in the present application is based on the high-voltage line connected between the generator and the transformer, and the high-voltage line adopts ABC three-phase lines, where:

[0043] The first end of the A-phase line is connected to the first parallel end through a first diode, and the second end of the A-phase line is connected to the second parallel end through a sixth diode;

[0044] The first end of the B-phase line is connected to the first parallel end through the second diode, and the second end of the B-phase line is connected to the second parallel end through the fifth diode;

[0045] The first end of the C-phase line is connected to the first parallel end through the third diode, and the second end of the C-phase line is connected to the second parallel end through the fourth diode. Exemplarily, the first ends of the above-mentioned A-phase line, B-phase line, and C-phase line may respectively correspond to Figure 1 A0, B0, and C0 shown in Figure 1 respectively, and the second ends of the above-mentioned A-phase line, B-phase line, and C-phase line may respectively correspond to

[0046] A1, B1, and C1 shown in

[0047] Furthermore, the first breaking branch specifically includes a first mechanical switch, a second mechanical switch, and a third mechanical switch; the first end of the A-phase line is connected to the second end of the A-phase line through the first mechanical switch; the first end of the B-phase line is connected to the second end of the B-phase line through the second mechanical switch; the first end of the C-phase line is connected to the second end of the C-phase line through the third mechanical switch.

[0047] Furthermore, the present application also proposes a power system, including a generator, a transformer, and a circuit breaker connected between the generator and the transformer. This circuit breaker is specifically the important auxiliary machine outlet circuit breaker of the 1000MW unit introduced in the embodiments of the present application. Furthermore, the circuit breaker topology structure provided by the present application can particularly be applicable to the situation where a fault occurs at the outlet of the important auxiliary machine of the 1000MW unit.

[0048] As Figure 4 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the topology structure of an important auxiliary machine outlet circuit breaker of a 1000MW unit proposed by the present application. The mechanical switches M1, M2, and M3 connected to the ABC three-phase high-voltage lines form the first breaking branch, the fully controlled switch device S1 forms the electronic switch branch, the buffer capacitor C1 forms the buffer branch, the lightning arrester MOV forms the energy-consuming branch, and the first parallel end formed by the parallel connection of S1, C1, and MOV is connected to the diodes D1, D2, and D3, and the second parallel end formed by the parallel connection of S1, C1, and MOV is connected to the diodes D4, D5, and D6. The positive poles of the diodes D1, D2, and D3 are connected to the first ends (A0, B0, C0) of the ABC three-phase high-voltage lines, and the negative poles of the diodes D4, D5, and D6 are connected to the second ends (A1, B1, C1) of the ABC three-phase high-voltage lines. As shown in the figure, the fully controlled switch device S1 adopts an IGBT module. Specifically: the IGBT module is an insulated gate bipolar transistor with an anti-parallel diode. It should be understood that the electronic switch branch shown in the figure can also be formed by multiple series-connected S1s.

[0049] As Figure 5As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the topological structure of another circuit breaker proposed in this application. The mechanical switches M1, M2, and M3 connected to the ABC three-phase high-voltage lines form the first breaking branch. The thyristor V is connected in series with the digital input-output module SM to form an electronic switch branch. As shown in the figure, SM includes a first fully controlled switch device S1 and a second fully controlled switch device S2 connected in parallel, and a capacitor connected in series with the second fully controlled switch device S2. Both S1 and S2 use IGBT modules. The buffer capacitor C1 forms a buffer branch, and the lightning arrester MOV forms a power-consuming branch. The first parallel terminal formed by connecting V in series with SM and then in parallel with C1 and MOV is connected to diodes D1, D2, and D3. The second parallel terminal formed by connecting V in series with SM and then in parallel with C1 and MOV is connected to diodes D4, D5, and D6. The positive poles of diodes D1, D2, and D3 are connected to the first ends (A0, B0, C0) of the ABC three-phase high-voltage lines, and the negative poles of diodes D4, D5, and D6 are connected to the second ends (A1, B1, C1) of the ABC three-phase high-voltage lines.

[0050] Further, based on Figure 4 the topological structure of the circuit breaker shown, the working principle of the circuit breaker provided in this application will be described below in conjunction with Figures 6 to 9 the following. Specifically as follows:

[0051] Taking Figure 4 the topology of the circuit breaker shown as an example, when the power system is operating normally, the mechanical switches M1, M2, and M3 of the ABC three phases are closed. When a fault occurs at positions A1, B1, and C1, first, M1, M2, and M3 are disconnected, and S1 is closed. Considering the current flow directions of the ABC three phases at this time, according to different current flow states, the fault current flows through different diodes when a fault occurs, forming corresponding paths. Exemplarily, based on Figure 6 and Figure 7 a fault state of a current flow direction of the ABC three phases (as shown by the arrows in the figure), there is a fault current flowing into B0 in phase B, and there are fault currents flowing out from A0 and C0 in phases A and C. The fault current flows through diodes D1, D3, D5, and S1 to form a path, as specifically shown in Figure 6 the figure. Then S1 is disconnected, and the fault current flows to the branch where C1 is located. When the voltage of C1 exceeds the line voltage, the fault current begins to decrease. When the voltage of C1 exceeds the operating voltage of the lightning arrester MOV, MOV is put into operation to absorb the fault energy, and the MOV is used to discharge the fault current until the fault current decays to zero, as specifically shown in Figure 7 the figure. Exemplarily, based on Figure 8 and Figure 9 a fault state of a current flow direction of the ABC three phases (as shown by the arrows in the figure), for example Figure 8As shown, a fault occurs in the AC phase and current flows into A0 and C0, and a fault current flows out from B0 in the B phase. At the moment of the fault, the fault current forms a path through the diode D2, D4, D6 and S1, specifically as Figure 8 shown. After S1 is disconnected, the fault current flows to the branch where C1 is located. When the voltage of C1 exceeds the line voltage, the fault current begins to decrease. When the voltage of C1 exceeds the operating voltage of the MOV arrester, the MOV is turned on to absorb the fault energy and discharge the fault current until the fault current decays to zero, specifically as Figure 9 shown.

[0052] So far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
