Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of converter, in particular to a multi-machine parallel system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Power electronic equipment such as a converter will generate abundant high-frequency harmonics due to the high-frequency operation of semiconductor switching devices. In order to reduce the harmonics injected into the power grid, an LC or LCL filter is usually added to the grid-connected port for filtering. Considering the standby state of the converter, the AC filter capacitor of the grid-side converter will generate a large amount of reactive power, resulting in increased unit loss. Therefore, a switching switch such as a contactor is added to the AC filter circuit to realize the cut-out of the AC filter capacitor in the standby state, so as to reduce the standby loss; in normal operation, the switching switch is closed to connect the AC filter capacitor, so as to realize the suppression and elimination of the grid-side high-frequency harmonics. The operation of the AC filter capacitor is related to the working state of the converter.

[0003] As the main element of the filter circuit, the capacitance value of the AC filter capacitor has a great influence on the filtering effect. Properly increasing the capacitance value of the AC filter capacitor is beneficial to achieving better grid-side harmonic filtering effect, but increasing the capacitance value will not only increase the cost and size of the converter, but also result in a large standby loss of the unit. Therefore, when designing the capacitance value of the AC filter capacitor of the converter, the influence factors of the filtering effect and economy need to be considered comprehensively. For a multi-machine parallel system, the number of AC filter capacitors is doubled, and the above conditions need to be considered.

[0004] In the existing multi-machine parallel system of the converter, when designing the number of grid-side filter capacitors, the number of single-machine filter capacitors is usually doubled according to the number of parallel units. Although this can balance the filtering effect and design economy of the grid-side converter when all the converters in the multi-machine parallel system are running, it does not fully consider how a single converter obtains the best filtering effect when the converter is running redundantly in the system. Practical new type content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a multi-machine parallel system to ensure that the capacitance value of the input filter capacitor is large, so that the multi-machine parallel system obtains better harmonic suppression and filtering effect, and fully considers how a single converter obtains the best filtering effect when the converter is running redundantly in the multi-machine parallel system.
