BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0016] Figure 1 This is the structural diagram of the water cooling control system of the SVG reactive power compensation device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides a water-cooling control system for an SVG reactive power compensation device, including a reactive power compensation device body, wherein the reactive power compensation device body includes an IGBT power module, an SVG inlet valve body, and an SVG outlet valve body.
[0019] To dissipate heat from the IGBT power modules in the reactive power compensation device, the water-cooling control system also includes an internal cooling assembly within the device and an external cooling assembly outside the device. The internal cooling assembly includes a water-cooling plate and an internal circulation pipe. The water-cooling plate is attached to the IGBT power module and absorbs heat generated during operation for heat exchange. The SVG inlet valve body is connected to one end of the water-cooling plate via the internal circulation pipe, while the other end of the water-cooling plate is connected to the SVG outlet valve body via the internal circulation pipe. The external circulation cooling component includes a PLC controller, a detection sensor, a circulating water pump, a water-to-air heat exchanger, an air-water separator, a buffer water tank and an external circulation loop pipe. The buffer water tank stores cooling water, which is high-purity water containing ethylene glycol antifreeze; the PLC controller is electrically connected to the detection sensor, the circulating water pump and the water-to-air heat exchanger, respectively, and is used to receive the detection signal of the detection sensor to determine the system status, and trigger and control the circulating water pump and the water-to-air heat exchanger respectively; the SVG outlet valve body is connected to the external circulation loop pipe via the air-water separator, and the air-water separator can collect gas in the external circulation loop pipe and discharge the gas; the external circulation loop pipe is connected to the circulating water pump, and the circulating water pump is connected to the input end of the water-to-air heat exchanger through the external circulation loop pipe. The output end of the water-to-air heat exchanger is connected to the buffer water tank, and the buffer water tank is connected to the SVG inlet valve body through the external circulation loop pipe. The circulating water circuit of the water cooling control system is a one-way water circuit. The circulating water pump operates continuously to provide water circulation power, extracting cooling water from the reactive power compensation device body. The cooling water is circulated and cooled through the SVG outlet valve body, air-water separator, circulating water pump, water-air heat exchanger, buffer water tank, SVG inlet valve body, and water cooling plate.
[0020] During the cooling cycle, the external cooling assembly is equipped with a machine filter, installed at the front end of the SVG inlet valve body to prevent any rigid particles from entering the SVG inlet valve body during the cooling cycle. A pressure sensor is also installed within the machine filter, electrically connected to the PLC controller. This sensor monitors the pressure differential across the machine filter in real time. Excessive pressure differentials indicate contamination, triggering an alarm signal through the PLC controller to prompt cleaning of the machine filter to ensure effective cooling. The PLC controller is wirelessly connected to a remote terminal, either a mobile device or a monitoring host. This terminal receives real-time signal data uploaded by the PLC controller, enabling remote monitoring of the water-cooling control system.
[0021] To ensure independent operation of the water-cooling control system without interference from the electrical signals of the SVG reactive power compensation device, the water-cooling control system also includes a power supply. The power supply uses an independent 380V AC power supply and is independently configured from the power supply of the SVG reactive power compensation device. The power supply is electrically connected to the PLC controller, water-to-air heat exchanger, and circulating water pump to provide driving power for each device.
[0022] In order to realize the status monitoring of the water-cooling control system, the detection sensor includes a temperature and humidity detection sensor and a flow detection sensor. The detection sensor is installed on the external circulation loop pipe. The temperature and humidity detection sensor can detect the temperature value of the cooling water inside the reactive compensation device body extracted by the circulating water pump in real time, and transmit the temperature detection signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller can adjust the speed of the water-to-air heat exchanger according to the temperature detection signal to realize the graded heat dissipation control of the water-to-air heat exchanger. When it is detected that the cooling water temperature is too high, the PLC controller will increase the air volume of the water-to-air heat exchanger to improve the cooling efficiency; conversely, when the cooling water temperature is too low, the air volume is reduced to avoid overcooling. The flow detection sensor is used to detect the cooling water flow in the external circulation loop pipe and transmit the flow detection signal to the PLC controller.
[0023] To ensure sufficient cooling water flow in the internal and external circulation pipes of the water-cooled control system, the water-cooled control system is also equipped with a make-up water tank and a make-up water pump. The make-up water pump is electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the make-up water tank is connected to the buffer water tank through the make-up water pump. When the flow detection sensor transmits the cooling water flow detection signal in the external circulation loop pipe to the PLC controller, the PLC controller processes the detection signal and determines that the cooling water flow rate is lower than a set threshold. The PLC controller controls the start-up water pump to transfer the cooling water stored in the make-up water tank to the buffer water tank through the make-up water pump, maintaining a constant cooling water flow in the water-cooled control system and maintaining the water cooling efficiency of the IGBT power module.
[0024] In addition, in order to achieve the goal of maintaining low conductivity when the water-cooling control system dissipates heat for the reactive compensation device body, the water-cooling control system also includes a deionization circuit, which is connected in parallel to the external circulation circuit pipe. The deionization circuit includes an ion exchanger and a conductivity sensor. The conductivity sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the conductivity sensor can detect the ion concentration of the cooling water flowing into the deionization circuit; the ion exchanger uses ion exchange resin to remove and purify ions in the cooling water to prevent the electrical components of the reactive compensation device body from being damaged due to excessive conductivity of the cooling water.
