[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of high-voltage direct-current power supply, and in particular to a direct-current conversion device and a direct-current conversion system. BACKGROUND

[0003] Long-distance power supply is widely applied in various environments. Costeffectiveness and reliability are critical metrics for long-distance power supply. To minimize line losses, high-voltage power supply is typically employed. At a load end of long-distance power supply, a high voltage is converted to a low voltage suitable for the load end. Longdistance power supply may be alternating-current power supply or direct-current power supply. High-voltage direct-current power supply features low cable costs and stable cable impedance and therefore is more widely adopted. The black start capability of a conversion device further reduces cable costs, and thus is an essential function for long-distance power supply. The conversion device is configured with functions such as fault protection and removal, power redundancy and remote data interaction, in order to enhance power supply stability at the load end, thus maximizing power supply reliability. Therefore, how to provide a direct-current conversion device configured with the above functions has become an urgent technical issue to be addressed by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY

[0016] a main control chip, configured to perform signal interaction with the normally-on solid-state circuit breaker, the multiple power modules, and a control board in other direct-current conversion device; and

[0017] multiple diodes are in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple power modules, where the multiple diodes are connected in series with a power input terminal of the control board, and direct-current powers outputted from the micro power modules are inputted to the control board via the multiple diode, respectively.

[0018] In an embodiment, auxiliary power supplies for the control board and auxiliary power supplies for a control board in other direct-current conversion device are connected to an auxiliary bus.

[0019] In an embodiment, the control board performs signal interaction with a control board in other direct-current conversion device via a CAN bus.

[0020] In an embodiment, the control board is further configured to receive a system instruction and upload data.

[0021] In an embodiment, the multiple power modules in the direct-current conversion device are arranged in two layers. The power module in an upper layer is arranged on a cover plate, and the power module in a lower layer is arranged on a bottom of a housing. The control board is arranged in an intermediate layer.

[0022] In an embodiment, the power module in the upper layer is fixed to the cover plate via bolts, and the power module in the lower layer is fixed to the housing via bolts.

[0037] Reference is made to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a direct-current conversion device. Referring to FIG. 1, the direct-current conversion device includes a normally-on solid-state circuit breaker 10, a control board 20, and multiple power modules 30.

[0038] A direct-current power is inputted to the direct-current conversion device via the normally-on solid-state circuit breaker 10. Input terminals of the power modules 30 are connected in series, and output terminals of the power modules 30 are connected in parallel.

[0039] Each of the power modules 30 is configured to perform power conversion on the inputted direct-current power and supply power to the control board 20.

[0040] The control board 20 is configured to receive at least one of voltage signals and current signals fed back by the power modules 30, control the power modules 30, control the normally-on solid-state circuit breaker 10, and perform signal interaction with a control board 20 in other direct-current conversion device, achieving current sharing between the direct-current conversion device and other direct-current conversion device.

[0041] The direct-current conversion device in the embodiment generally includes a normally-on solid-state circuit breaker 10, a control board 20, and multiple power modules 30. A high-voltage bus (H V BUS) is connected to an input terminal of the direct-current conversion device, and a high-voltage direct-current power is inputted to the power modules 30 via the normally-on solid-state circuit breaker 10.

[0042] The input terminals of the power modules 30 are connected in series, and the output terminals of the power modules 30 are connected in parallel. In an aspect, each of the power modules 30 performs power conversion on the inputted high-voltage direct-current power to output a low-voltage direct-current power to a low-voltage bus (LV BUS) for power supply. The low-voltage direct-current power is supplied to a load arranged outside the direct-current conversion device. In another aspect, the power modules 30 perform auxiliary power supply on the control board 20 in the direct-current conversion device. In a direct-current conversion device, a quantity n of the power modules 30 is determined based on a maximum value Vinmax of the inputted high-voltage direct-current power and a maximum operating voltage Vnmax of each of the power modules 30. n, Vinmax and Vnmax satisfy n>Vinmax / Vnmax.

[0043] In some embodiments, each of the power modules 30 includes a main power conversion circuit, an auxiliary power supply and a micro power module.

[0044] The main power conversion circuit is configured to perform power conversion on the inputted direct-current power.

[0062] In some embodiments, the power modules 30 in the direct-current conversion device are arranged in two layers. The power module 30 in an upper layer is arranged on a cover plate, and the power module 30 in a lower layer is arranged on a bottom of a housing. The control board 20 is arranged in an intermediate layer. The power module 30 in the upper layer is fixed to the cover plate via bolts, and the power module 30 in the lower layer is fixed to the housing via bolts.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 4, the direct-current conversion device is in a sandwiched structure according to the embodiment. The power modules 30 are arranged in two layers. The power module 30 in the upper layer is arranged on the cover plate, and is rotatable along with the cover plate via a semi-open hinge.

[0064] In summary, the direct-current conversion device in the present disclosure is provided with a normally-on solid-state circuit breaker. A high-voltage direct-current power is transmitted to power modules before the control board is started. The power modules perform power conversion on the inputted high-voltage direct-current power to obtain a low-voltage direct-current power and supply power to the control board, thereby achieving black start. Thus, a pre-charging circuit is no longer required, effectively reducing the cost and design difficulty.
