Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of static var generators, and in particular to a static var generator with good heat dissipation. Background Technology
[0002] Static Var Generators (SVG) operate by injecting a compensation current equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the actual reactive current. Their principle and control method are completely different from SVCs. Instead of using conventional capacitors and reactors, they connect a self-commutated bridge circuit to the power grid via reactors or directly in parallel. In other words, the ASVG is treated as a three-phase voltage source inverter connected to a three-phase transmission line. By appropriately controlling the output voltage of the three-phase voltage source inverter, it exchanges reactive power (inductive or capacitive) with the system to meet the required levels, ultimately achieving reactive power compensation.
[0003] Static var generators (SVG) play a crucial role in flexible AC transmission systems and are one of the main controllable devices in the power system. They not only regulate reactive power but also improve power system stability. They can provide rapid voltage and reactive power control at grid connection points, protecting the grid from grid pollution such as harmonics, voltage flicker, and voltage asymmetry, thereby improving power supply quality. They can also improve the power factor of lines and reduce line losses. However, SVG generates a significant amount of heat during operation, and air cooling alone is insufficient, affecting the normal operation of the SVG and creating safety hazards.
[0004] Later, a water-cooled static var generator (SVR) appeared on the market. It includes a PCB board, an IGBG module soldered on the PCB board, and a water-cooled radiator located on the back of the PCB board. The SVR has high reliability after introducing water cooling. However, the coolant leakage is one of the main risks of this bottom-mounted water cooling method. Leakage can be caused by improper installation, external impact, etc. Once the coolant leaks, it may corrode the internal circuit of the SVG module, the PCB board, or peripheral equipment, causing serious failures such as short circuits and component damage. Secondly, the water cooling system includes multiple components such as water pump, pipes, heat exchanger, and coolant. Careful layout is required during installation, and subsequent maintenance requires checking the water circuit sealing, water pump operation status, coolant level and purity, etc.
[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main objective is to provide a static var generator with good heat dissipation. Through the design of a cabinet, a var generator, and a heat dissipation device, the bottom shell and the top cover form an accommodating space. A partition is installed within the accommodating space, dividing the accommodating cavity into a left accommodating cavity and a right accommodating cavity. The var generator is installed and positioned within the accommodating space. Thus, the heat dissipation device directly dissipates heat from the var generator. Since the mounting position is connected to the cavity, its heat can be dissipated through the heat sink, reducing the heat within the accommodating space. Compared to traditional water-cooled heat dissipation, its structure is simple and maintenance is convenient.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A static var generator with good heat dissipation includes a cabinet, a var generator, and a heat dissipation device.
[0009] The cabinet includes a bottom shell and a top cover on the bottom shell; the bottom shell and the top cover form an accommodating space, and mounting positions communicating with the accommodating space are provided on the upper, lower, left, and right end faces of the bottom shell; a partition is installed in the accommodating space, and the partition divides the accommodating cavity into a left accommodating cavity and a right accommodating cavity; several through holes are provided on the partition; the through holes are respectively connected to the accommodating space; wherein, the reactive power generator is installed and positioned in the accommodating space; the heat dissipation device includes at least a first cooling fan assembly, a second cooling fan assembly, and a heat sink; the first cooling fan assembly and the second cooling fan assembly are respectively disposed in the left accommodating cavity and the right accommodating cavity, and the air outlets of the first cooling fan assembly and the second cooling fan assembly are both oriented towards the partition; the heat sink is installed and positioned at the mounting position.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the reactive power generator includes a PCB board, several power modules, and a control module. The power modules are pluggable to the PCB board, and the control module is electrically connected to the PCB board.
[0011] As a preferred solution, a first thermally conductive silicone pad is bonded between several power modules. The thermally conductive double-sided adhesive can quickly conduct away the heat generated by the power modules during operation, reduce the module temperature, and prevent performance degradation or damage due to overheating. Secondly, it can prevent electrical short circuits between power modules and ensure the safe and stable operation of the circuit.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the heat sink includes a substrate and a plurality of heat dissipation grilles spaced on the substrate, with a first heat dissipation opening provided between adjacent heat dissipation grilles.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom shell includes an upper side plate, a lower side plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate that are connected to each other. Each of the upper side plate, lower side plate, left side plate, and right side plate has a mounting position that communicates with the accommodating space, and a heat sink is installed at each mounting position.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the heat sink is secured to the corresponding mounting position with screws.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the first cooling fan assembly and the second cooling fan assembly include a mounting base and a cooling fan disposed on the mounting base. The mounting base has a second heat dissipation port for communicating with the first heat dissipation port. The mounting base is bonded and fixed to the heat sink on the upper and lower side panels by a second thermally conductive silicone pad. The thermally conductive silicone pad enables the rapid transfer of heat from the accommodating space to the outside, reducing the temperature inside the accommodating space. The heat is then transferred to the outside of the cabinet by the heat sink. The setting of the heat dissipation port accelerates the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink, thereby significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the equipment.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has significant advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, it mainly involves the design of a cabinet, a reactive power generator, and a heat dissipation device. The bottom shell and the top cover form an accommodating space, and a partition is installed in the accommodating space to divide the accommodating cavity into a left accommodating cavity and a right accommodating cavity. The reactive power generator is installed and positioned within the accommodating space. The heat dissipation device includes at least a first cooling fan assembly, a second cooling fan assembly, and a heat sink. The first cooling fan assembly and the second cooling fan assembly are respectively disposed in the left accommodating cavity and the right accommodating cavity, and the heat sink is installed and positioned at the mounting position. In this way, the first cooling fan assembly and the second cooling fan assembly directly dissipate heat from the reactive power generator. Since the mounting position is connected to the cavity, the heat can be dissipated by the heat sink to reduce the heat in the accommodating space.
[0017] Secondly, there is the cooling method consisting of a cooling fan and a heat sink, which is simpler in structure and easier to maintain than traditional water cooling.
