Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-voltage power transmission and distribution technology, specifically to a 3VA ultra-low power consumption primary and secondary deep fusion device. Background Technology
[0002] As the power grid evolves towards digitalization and intelligence, the demand for feeder terminal units (FTUs), as core monitoring units in distribution networks, is increasing year by year, and their technology is also being upgraded. With the application of primary and secondary integration technology becoming increasingly stable and reliable, power consumption control has become a key technological challenge. Traditional FTU power supply architectures primarily rely on external voltage transformers (PTs) for energy conversion. Specifically, the PT converts the primary high voltage to 220V AC, which is then output as 24V DC via an AC / DC module, and finally stepped down to 5VDC by a DC / DC module to power the controller core unit. However, this solution has the following drawbacks: 1. Traditional PT power supply requires the use of large horn-shaped PTs on the line, which is not conducive to the on-site installation of primary and secondary sets and is difficult to maintain; 2. Severe energy loss: The electrical energy undergoes multiple conversion stages, resulting in low overall efficiency and a large amount of energy being lost as heat. Furthermore, the large power consumption exceeds the maximum output capacity of the new capacitor's electrode post, limiting its application in scenarios without a power supply (PT). 3. Insufficient power supply stability: The output power of the PT fluctuates when the power grid is lightly loaded or in the event of a fault, forcing the system to frequently activate the backup power supply, which increases the maintenance burden. 4. Lack of power management and real-time monitoring: Traditional power management units and controller functional modules lack a coordination mechanism and cannot dynamically adjust parameters such as sampling frequency and communication rate according to the power grid status, resulting in redundant power consumption accumulation under static operating conditions.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a 3VA ultra-low power deep integration device for primary and secondary applications to achieve efficient power conversion, low power operation of equipment, and adaptive power management, so as to improve product competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] An embodiment of a 3VA ultra-low power primary and secondary deep fusion device See Figure 1-2 This utility model relates to a 3VA ultra-low power primary and secondary deep fusion device, including a primary switch 10 and an FTU controller 20. The primary switch 10 provides input power to the secondary FTU controller 20. The primary switch 10 has a built-in terminal for capacitor power extraction, and its power supply side and load side are respectively connected to the output terminal of the terminal to obtain 24V low-voltage AC power. The terminal is equipped with a capacitor power extraction module 11, which includes a capacitor voltage divider 12 and an electromagnetic unit 13. The capacitor voltage divider 12 includes a high-voltage capacitor C1 and a low-voltage capacitor C2. One end of the high-voltage capacitor C1 is connected to the high-voltage terminal of the primary switch 10, and the other end is connected to the low-voltage terminal of the primary switch 10 through the low-voltage capacitor C2. The medium-voltage capacitor taps of the high-voltage capacitor C1 and the low-voltage capacitor C2 are connected to the input terminal of the electromagnetic unit 13. The electromagnetic unit 13 forms a series resonance with the capacitive reactance of the capacitor voltage divider 12 by providing matched inductive compensation to output the standard 24V low-voltage AC power.
[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electromagnetic unit 13 uses a damping reactor L. The damping reactor L provides a matching inductive reactance to form a pair with the capacitive reactance of the capacitor voltage divider 12. It is used to suppress the inrush current generated when the capacitor voltage divider 12 is closed, and to cancel the capacitive reactance of the capacitor voltage divider 12 at resonance. This makes the output voltage unaffected by load changes and system frequency fluctuations, and keeps it stable and proportional to the input high voltage.
[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the power supply side and load side of the primary switch 10 are each connected to a terminal. Each terminal outputs a 24V low-voltage AC power to the FTU controller 20. The FTU controller then performs power conversion through the internal power management module 30, and the output voltage is 5VDC, which can directly supply power to the main control module 40. This eliminates the need for a 24VDC to 5VDC power conversion process, thus greatly improving the power efficiency of the FTU controller 20.
[0029] See Figure 3In this embodiment, the electrode post further includes an insulating shell 14, which is a hollow shell structure with an open bottom. An epoxy resin shell is fitted on the inner surface of the insulating shell 14, and the capacitor voltage divider 12 is sealed inside the epoxy resin shell.

[0031] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, the FTU controller 20 further includes a power management module 30, a main control module 40, and a dual backup power module 50.

It is connected to the power input terminal of the main control module 40 through a first output terminal, and its second output terminal is connected to the power input terminal of the charge / discharge management module 32. The dual output terminals of the charge / discharge management module 32 are respectively connected to the dual charging terminals of the dual backup power modules 50. It monitors the load status of the FTU controller 20 in real time and adjusts the charging and discharging current of the backup power modules accordingly. The signal control module 33 is connected to the backup power modules through multiple control signal lines and is used to monitor the status parameters of the backup power modules in real time and control their output start / stop.
[0033] In this embodiment, the backup power module includes a supercapacitor, a lithium battery, an activation circuit, and a power relay. The supercapacitor and the lithium battery are charged through the first backup power supply and the second backup power supply, respectively. The activation circuit is connected to the lithium battery and is used to restore or increase the capacity of the lithium battery through periodic deep discharge. The switching contacts of the power relay are connected to the power input terminal of the lithium battery.
[0034] In this embodiment, the voltage conversion and power control module 31 includes a power distribution unit, a voltage conversion circuit, and a voltage regulation circuit. The power distribution unit is used to automatically track the maximum power point of the input of different poles and adaptively adjust the power supply of the main control module 40 and the charging supply of the dual backup power module 50. The voltage conversion circuit is used to convert the input 24V low-voltage AC power into 5V DC power output.
[0035] Specifically, the voltage regulator circuit described in this embodiment is used to maintain an output accuracy of 5V±2% when the input 24V low-voltage AC power drops to the lowest threshold.
[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the power distribution unit adopts the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology to track the maximum power point of input for different terminals and dynamically match the input characteristics of different terminals to prioritize the power supply requirements of the main control module 40 of the controller. Furthermore, by combining MPPT with adaptive control, the power supply priority of the main control module 40 is maintained when the input of the power supply terminal fluctuates.
[0037] In this embodiment, the charge / discharge management module 32 includes a sampling circuit and a charge / discharge management IC. The sampling circuit is used to sample the charge / discharge current of the backup power module and output the sampled current signal to the charge / discharge management IC. The charge / discharge management IC is a dual-channel independent charging IC.
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the charging and discharging management module 32 analyzes the data based on the real-time collected input capacitor voltage and FTU controller 20 operating status data to ensure that the system is in normal operating condition, thereby shutting down the power supply of unnecessary functional modules to reduce power consumption; when abnormal fluctuations in the line are detected, the backup power supply module is activated and the charging and discharging strategy of the backup power supply is adjusted.
[0039] The charge / discharge management IC dynamically adjusts the switching frequency of the power devices to match the load demand, specifically by dynamically adjusting the charging duty cycle of the backup power module based on the sampled current signal.
[0040] Specifically, the charge / discharge management IC in this embodiment supports fast charging protocols and can accurately manage charging current / voltage to prevent overcharging or deep discharging and extend lithium battery life.
[0041] In this embodiment, the signal control module 33 includes a multi-channel signal control terminal, a power switching terminal, and a status feedback monitoring terminal, which realizes millisecond-level response control of the backup power supply charging and discharging rate through a multi-channel feedback network.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the activation control terminal is connected to the drive terminal of the activation circuit via the activation start control signal line HK or the activation stop control signal line HG, used to trigger or terminate the deep discharge of the lithium battery. The power switching terminal is connected to the control terminal of the power relay via the battery input control signal line BK or the battery output control signal line BG, used to realize the switching control of the backup power supply. The status feedback monitoring terminal feeds back the activation status signal to the charge / discharge management module 32 via the activation status signal line HOK. The status feedback monitoring terminal also samples the output voltage of the charge / discharge management module 32 in real time via the battery undervoltage signal line VL for real-time monitoring.
