Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft ground static power supply technology, specifically an aircraft ground static power supply with DC compensation function. Background Technology
[0002] Voltage sag refers to the phenomenon where the effective value of the supply voltage suddenly drops and then rises back to the normal voltage level within a short period of time. The duration is generally no more than 2 seconds. With the significant increase in the complexity and uncertainty of airport power systems, voltage sag occurs frequently, posing a severe challenge to the safety and stability of some important and sensitive loads (equipment).
[0003] The 115V / 200V, 400Hz aircraft ground static power supply is currently the mainstream ground power equipment used by civil aircraft at home and abroad. Its working principle is: it uses three-phase mains power as the input source, and after rectification, inversion and filtering, it outputs high-quality 115V / 200V, 400Hz three-phase four-wire AC power to meet the power needs of multiple aircraft models.
[0004] The aircraft ground static power supply is a power electronic conversion device that does not generate energy itself. However, when a voltage dip occurs (the residual voltage is less than 90% of the power system voltage), the power system will not be able to provide enough energy, and the coil-like components inside the device will not be able to remain engaged, thus causing the aircraft ground static power supply to stop working.
[0005] When an aircraft is powered by a ground-based static voltage converter, if the input voltage of the power supply experiences a temporary drop, the power supply will shut down as a protective measure. However, airport power supply networks are complex, and multiple ground power supplies are often operating simultaneously on a single line. This can easily lead to localized, large-scale power failure alarms, which not only affect the aircraft's normal power supply but also cause damage to onboard equipment, thereby affecting the normal operation of flights and causing economic losses to users.
[0006] Aircraft ground static variable power supplies have a large power capacity and require high stability of the grid supply voltage. Upgrading existing airport power grids to eliminate the impact of voltage dips on sensitive equipment is not only difficult but also very costly. Therefore, it is necessary to invent an aircraft ground static variable power supply that can still operate normally when voltage dips occur in the power system, thus addressing the adverse effects of voltage dips on aircraft from within the power supply itself. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an aircraft ground static power supply with DC compensation function that ensures continuous and stable output of high-quality AC power and meets the power needs of aircraft.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: An aircraft ground static power supply with DC compensation function is characterized in that: it is provided with an aircraft ground static power supply and a DC compensation device. The aircraft ground static power supply includes a mains input interface, an input contactor, a rectifier module, an inverter module, an output contactor, and an output interface. The mains input interface is connected to the rectifier module via the input contactor. The rectifier module is connected to the inverter module via a DC bus. The inverter module is connected to the output interface via the output contactor. The DC compensation device includes a charging module, an energy storage module, and a DC / DC module. The mains input interface is connected to the charging module, the charging module is connected to the energy storage module, the energy storage module is connected to the DC / DC module, and the DC / DC module is connected to the DC bus. When the aircraft ground static power supply is operating normally, the 50Hz three-phase AC power is rectified and inverted, and the output interface outputs high-quality 115V / 220V 400Hz AC power to supply the aircraft. It also charges the energy storage module through the charging module, completing energy storage. When a voltage dip occurs in the mains power, the energy storage module discharges to stabilize the DC bus voltage, ensuring the normal operation of the aircraft ground static power supply inverter circuit. When the voltage returns to normal, the DC compensation device stops outputting, and the aircraft ground static power supply continues to operate using mains power. This ensures that the power supply is unaffected by the mains power, can operate uninterruptedly, and outputs high-quality power, guaranteeing a continuous and normal power supply to the aircraft. It solves the problem of mains voltage dips affecting power supply operation directly from the power supply itself, without needing to address grid instability, thus possessing superior economic and practical value.
[0009] This utility model also includes an auxiliary interface module and a control board. The auxiliary interface module is equipped with a sampling circuit, which collects the mains input voltage and the DC bus voltage. The voltage signal collected by the sampling circuit of the auxiliary interface module is transmitted to the control board, which is connected to the charging module, the energy storage module, and the DC / DC module respectively. The control board receives power index sampling signals from the mains and DC bus. When a voltage dip in the mains is detected, the control board controls the energy storage module to work, quickly responding to adjust the DC bus voltage, maintaining the normal operation of the inverter module, ensuring continuous output of high-quality AC power, and achieving adaptive compensation.
[0010] The aircraft ground static variable power supply of this utility model also includes an input filtering module and an output filtering module. The input filtering module is located between the input contactor and the rectifier module, and the output filtering module is located between the inverter module and the output contactor. The input filtering module suppresses high-frequency interference from the power grid and prevents high-order harmonics generated by the rectifier module from being fed back to the power grid, thereby reducing pollution to the power grid. The output filtering module is used to filter out high-frequency components in the PWM wave output by the inverter, providing pure sinusoidal AC power.
[0011] The input filtering module of this invention uses an input transformer, and the output filtering module uses an output transformer.
[0012] The input transformer described in this invention is a phase-shifting transformer; it transforms the three-phase power from the mains power grid into six-phase or twelve-phase power, achieving multi-phase rectification and significantly reducing input current harmonics.
[0013] The output transformer described in this utility model is an isolation step-down transformer; it achieves electrical isolation and voltage reduction, ensuring that the 115V / 200V 400Hz AC power supply is electrically isolated from the mains power supply, thereby improving electrical safety.

The button's start / stop signal is transmitted to the processor module. After processing, the processor module issues a control command to drive the relay module to control the opening and closing of the output contactor K2.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the aircraft ground static power supply is working normally, the 50Hz three-phase AC power is rectified and inverted, and the output interface outputs high-quality 115V / 220V 400Hz AC power to supply the aircraft. The charging module also charges the energy storage module, completing energy storage. When the mains voltage drops, the energy storage module discharges to stabilize the DC bus voltage, ensuring the normal operation of the aircraft ground static power supply inverter circuit. When the voltage returns to normal, the DC compensation device stops outputting, and the aircraft ground static power supply continues to operate using mains power. This ensures that the power supply is not affected by the mains power, can operate uninterruptedly, and outputs high-quality power, guaranteeing a continuous and normal power supply to the aircraft. It solves the problem of the mains voltage drop affecting the power supply's operation from the power supply itself, without needing to address the problem of grid instability, and has superior economic and practical value.

The output terminal of the energy storage module A25 is connected to the input terminal of the DC / DC module A21. The output terminal of the DC / DC module A21 is connected to the DC bus. When the aircraft ground static power supply is operating normally, the 50Hz three-phase AC power is rectified and inverted, and then outputs high-quality 115V / 220V 400Hz three-phase four-wire AC power to the aircraft. It also charges the energy storage module via a charging module, completing energy storage. When a voltage dip occurs in the mains power, the energy storage module discharges, and the DC / DC module provides the required voltage to the DC bus, ensuring the normal operation of the aircraft ground static power supply's inverter circuit.
