Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a power supply system and a method for controlling a power supply system. [Background technology]

[0002] A conventional power supply system, as shown in Patent Document 1, for example, includes a circuit breaker provided on a power line for supplying power from a power system to a load, and a power converter connected to the load side of the circuit breaker and converting energy from an energy storage unit into AC power.

[0003] In this power supply system, when the power grid is normal, the circuit breaker is closed, power is supplied from the power grid to the load via the transformer, and the power converter is stopped. On the other hand, when an abnormality occurs in the power grid, the circuit breaker is opened to cut off the power supply from the power grid to the load. Since the load voltage drops when the circuit breaker is opened, after the circuit breaker is opened, the power converter converts the DC power from the energy storage unit into AC power and supplies that AC power to the load. In this way, the above power supply system compensates for the load voltage when an abnormality occurs in the power grid.

[0004] In the above power supply system, the load voltage drops between the time the power grid malfunctions and the time the circuit breaker is opened, causing an imbalance in the transformer's magnetic flux. If the load voltage is compensated for while the transformer's magnetic flux is imbalanced, the transformer's magnetic flux saturates, causing an excitation current to flow. This can cause the power converter to shut down due to an overcurrent. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6677916 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and its main object is to prevent the power converter from stopping due to an overcurrent by preventing magnetic flux saturation of a transformer interposed between the power system and the load when compensating for the load voltage after the switch has been opened. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] That is, a power supply system according to the present invention is a power supply system that supplies power from the power system to a load via a transformer when the power system is normal, and cuts off the power supply from the power system to the load when an abnormality occurs in the power system, and supplies power to the load from a DC power supply via the transformer, and is characterized by comprising: a switch that is provided on a power line for supplying power from the power system to the load and opens and closes the power line; a power converter that is connected to the power line and converts DC power from the DC power supply into AC power; and a power converter control unit that controls a voltage output by the power converter when an abnormality occurs in the power system, wherein the power converter control unit is further characterized by comprising: a voltage compensation control unit that performs voltage compensation control, which is control that causes the power converter to output a compensation voltage that compensates for the voltage of the load, when opening of the switch is complete when the power system is abnormal; and a magnetic flux change correction unit that, when the voltage compensation unit performs the voltage compensation control, causes the power converter to output a correction voltage that corrects the load magnetic flux change, which indicates a change in magnetic flux in the load from the occurrence of the abnormality in the power system to the completion of opening of the switch, so that the load magnetic flux change, which indicates a change in the magnetic flux in the load from the occurrence of the abnormality in the power system to the completion of opening of the switch, is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

[0008] In such a power supply system, the magnetic flux change correction unit causes the power converter to output a correction voltage that corrects the load magnetic flux change so that the load magnetic flux change is below a predetermined level, thereby preventing magnetic flux saturation in the transformer interposed between the power system and the load. As a result, the generation of excitation current can be prevented, and the power converter can be prevented from stopping due to overcurrent.

[0009] Outputting a correction voltage that makes the load magnetic flux change zero can prevent magnetic flux saturation in the load transformer, but compared to a correction voltage that makes the load magnetic flux change non-zero, the correction voltage becomes larger, and there is a risk of overvoltage being output from the power converter. Therefore, it is preferable that the magnetic flux change correction unit corrects the load magnetic flux change so that the load magnetic flux change is greater than 0 and the magnetic flux of the load is smaller than the saturation magnetic flux of the load.

[0010] With this configuration, it is possible to prevent magnetic flux saturation of the load and also to prevent an overvoltage from being output from the power converter to the load.

[0011] It is preferable that the power converter control unit further includes a current interruption control unit that performs current interruption control, which is control to interrupt the load from the power system when an abnormality occurs in the power system, and a control switching unit that switches to the voltage compensation control after the current interruption control is completed, and that the magnetic flux change correction unit outputs the correction voltage to the power converter at the same time that the control switching unit switches from the current interruption control to the voltage compensation control.

[0012] With this configuration, the magnetic flux change correction unit outputs a correction voltage to the power converter at the same time that the control switching unit switches from current cut-off control to voltage compensation control, thereby more reliably preventing magnetic flux saturation of the load.

[0013] It is preferable that the power supply further includes a load voltage measuring unit that measures the voltage of the load, and the magnetic flux change correction unit calculates the load magnetic flux change based on the difference between the voltage of the load when the power system is assumed to be normal and the voltage of the load measured by the load voltage measuring unit.

[0014] With this configuration, the magnetic flux change correction unit calculates the load magnetic flux change based on the difference between the load voltage when the power system is assumed to be normal and the load voltage measured by the load voltage measurement unit, thereby making it possible to accurately calculate the load magnetic flux change.

[0015] Since the power converter is controlled to output a correction voltage in addition to a conventional compensation voltage, the absolute value of the voltage output by the power converter becomes larger by the amount of the correction voltage. Therefore, in order to prevent the power converter from outputting an overvoltage to a load, it is preferable to further include a voltage limiting unit that limits the output voltage of the power converter, which is the sum of the compensation voltage and the correction voltage, within a predetermined range.

[0016] A specific example of the voltage limiting unit is one in which the upper limit value of the voltage limiting unit is 1.1 times the rated voltage of the power converter, and the lower limit value of the voltage limiting unit is -1.1 times the rated voltage of the power converter.

[0017] A control method for a power supply system that supplies power from the power system to a load via a transformer when the power system is normal, and cuts off the power supply to the load from the power system when an abnormality occurs in the power system, and supplies power to the load from a DC power supply via the transformer, wherein the power supply system is provided on a power line for supplying power from the power system to the load and includes: a switch that opens and closes the power line; and a power converter that is connected to the power line and converts DC power from the DC power supply into AC power, and the control method for the power supply system includes performing voltage compensation control, which is control that causes the power converter to output a compensation voltage that compensates for a voltage of the load when opening of the switch is complete during the power system abnormality, and when performing the voltage compensation control, causing the power converter to output a compensation voltage that corrects a load magnetic flux change that indicates a change in magnetic flux of the load from the occurrence of the abnormality in the power system to the completion of opening of the switch, so that the load magnetic flux change is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

[0018] With this configuration, it is possible to obtain the same effects as the above-described power supply system. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] According to the present invention configured in this manner, when compensating for the load voltage after the switch has been completely opened, magnetic flux saturation of the transformer interposed between the power grid and the load can be prevented, thereby preventing the power converter from shutting down due to an overcurrent.

[0021] An embodiment of a power supply system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that, for ease of understanding, some parts may be omitted or exaggerated in schematic form in all of the drawings shown below. Identical components are designated by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions will be omitted where appropriate.

[0022] <Device configuration> The power supply system 100 in this embodiment is provided between an electric power system S and a load L, and when an abnormality in the electric power system S occurs, such as a momentary sag, the power supply from the electric power system S to the load L is cut off, and then the voltage of the load L is compensated for. In this embodiment, a load transformer Tr interposed between the electric power system S and the load L is provided on the power line P.

[0023] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 , the power supply system 100 includes a switch 2 that cuts off the power supply from a power system S to a load L, a DC power supply 3 that outputs DC power, a power converter 4 that converts the DC power of the DC power supply 3 into AC power and supplies it to a power line P, a system voltage measurement unit 5 that measures the system voltage that is the voltage of the power system S, a load voltage measurement unit 6 that measures the load voltage that is the voltage of the load L, a switch current measurement unit 7 that measures the switch current that is the current flowing through the switch 2, and a control device 8 that controls the switch 2 and the power converter 4.

[0024] The switch 2 is provided on a power line P for supplying power from a power system S to a load L, and opens and closes the power line P. Specifically, when the switch 2 is opened, the supply of AC power from the power system S to the load L is cut off, and when the switch 2 is closed, AC power is supplied from the power system S to the load L. As shown in FIG. 1 , the low-voltage side of the switch 2 is connected to a load transformer Tr. Note that the switch 2 in this embodiment may be a semiconductor switch or a mechanical switch.

[0025] The DC power supply 3 is a battery such as a lead storage battery or a capacitor that stores DC power when the power system S is normal. When the power system S is abnormal, the DC power supply 3 discharges and outputs DC power.

[0026] The power converter 4 is connected in series to the power line P and converts DC power from the DC power supply 3 into AC power to supply the load L. In this embodiment, the AC power output from the power converter 4 is supplied to the power line P via an injection transformer T. Note that although the power converter 4 is a single-phase inverter in this embodiment, it may also be a three-phase inverter.

[0027] The system voltage measurement unit 5 is connected to the power lines P of each phase via a system transformer (not shown) and measures the system voltage. The measured system voltage measured by the system voltage measurement unit 5 is output to a parameter acquisition unit 81, which will be described later. In this embodiment, the system voltage measurement unit 5 measures the voltage on the power system S side relative to the switch 2 so that an opening command output unit 82, which will be described later, can detect an abnormality in the power system S early.

[0028] The load voltage measuring unit 6 is provided on the low-voltage side of the switch 2 and on the primary side of the load transformer Tr. A measured load voltage, which is the load voltage measured by the load voltage measuring unit 6, is output to a parameter acquiring unit 81, which will be described later.

[0029] The switch current measuring unit 7 is provided on the power line P of each phase and measures the switch current. The switch current measured by the switch current measuring unit 7 is output to a parameter acquiring unit 81, which will be described later.

[0030] The control device 8 is a dedicated or general-purpose computer equipped with a CPU, internal memory, an input / output interface, an A / D converter, etc., and controls the switch 2 and the power converter 4 when an abnormality occurs in the power system S. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 , the control device 8 includes a parameter acquisition unit 81 that acquires various parameters, an opening command output unit 82 that outputs an opening command to open the switch 2 when an abnormality in the power system S is detected, a closing command output unit 83 that outputs a closing command to close the switch 2 when the abnormality in the power system S is recovered from, a switch control unit 84 that controls the opening and closing of the switch 2 based on the opening command or the closing command, and a power converter control unit 85 that controls the power converter 4.

[0031] The parameter acquiring unit 81 acquires various parameters measured by each measuring unit. In this embodiment, the parameter acquiring unit 81 acquires at least one of the measured system voltage measured by the system voltage measuring unit 5, the measured load voltage measured by the load voltage measuring unit 6, and the switch current measured by the switch current measuring unit 7. When compensating for the voltage of the load L, it is sufficient for the parameter acquiring unit 81 to acquire at least the measured system voltage and the measured load voltage.

[0032] The open command output unit 82 determines whether an abnormality has occurred in the power grid S based on the grid voltage, and if it determines that an abnormality has occurred in the power grid S, it outputs an open command to the switch control unit 84. Specifically, if the grid voltage falls below a predetermined value, the open command output unit 82 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the power grid S, and outputs an open command to the switch control unit 84. The predetermined value here is a voltage value for detecting a momentary sag.

[0033] The closing command output unit 83 determines whether the abnormality in the power system S has been recovered based on the measured system voltage, and if it determines that the abnormality in the power system S has been recovered, outputs a closing command to the switch control unit 84. Specifically, if the system voltage remains equal to or higher than a predetermined value over multiple cycles after the opening command is output, the closing command output unit 83 determines that the abnormality in the power system S has been recovered, and outputs a closing command to the switch control unit 84.

[0034] The switch control unit 84 uses a drive circuit (not shown) to control the opening and closing of the switch 2. Specifically, the switch control unit 84 receives an opening command and performs control to open the switch 2. When the opening of the switch 2 is complete, the switch control unit 84 outputs an opening completion signal, which is a signal indicating that the opening of the switch 2 is complete.

[0035] Furthermore, the switch control unit 84 receives a closing command and performs control to close the switch 2. Then, when the closing of the switch 2 is completed, the switch control unit 84 outputs a closing completion signal indicating that the closing of the switch 2 is completed.

[0036] 3 , the power converter control unit 85 includes a current interruption control unit 851 that performs current interruption control, which is control to interrupt the load L from the power grid S when an opening command is output, a voltage compensation control unit 852 that performs voltage compensation control, which is control to cause the power converter 4 to output a compensation voltage that compensates for the voltage of the load L that has dropped due to the current interruption control after the opening of the switch 2 is completed, a control switching unit 853 that switches between the current interruption control and the voltage compensation control, a magnetic flux change correction unit 854 that, when the voltage compensation control unit 852 performs voltage compensation control, causes the power converter 4 to output a correction voltage that corrects the load magnetic flux change Δφ, which indicates a change in the magnetic flux of the load L from the occurrence of an abnormality in the power grid S to the completion of the opening of the switch 2, so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ is equal to or less than a predetermined value, and a voltage limiting unit 855 that limits the voltage output by the power converter 4 to within a predetermined range. Note that the completion of the opening of the switch 2 referred to here refers to the switch control unit 84 outputting an opening completion signal.

[0037] In response to the output of the opening command, the current cut-off control unit 851 performs feedback control of the current output from the power converter 4 so that the current flowing through the switch 2 becomes zero. Specifically, the current cut-off control unit 851 subtracts the switch current acquired by the parameter acquisition unit 81 from a switch current command value that makes the current flowing through the switch 2 become zero. Then, the current cut-off control unit 851 multiplies the difference by a proportional gain Kp and causes the power converter 4 to output a voltage calculated by the switch current command value.

[0038] The voltage compensation control unit 852 outputs a compensation voltage based on the difference between a voltage command value to be output from the power converter 4 in order to make the load voltage a predetermined voltage and the system voltage measured by the system voltage measurement unit 5. Note that the voltage command value used by the voltage compensation control unit 852 when outputting the compensation voltage may be, but is not limited to, a voltage command value for making the load voltage equivalent to, for example, a rated voltage.

[0039] The control switching unit 853 switches from the current cutoff control to the voltage compensation control after the current cutoff control is completed. Here, "after the current cutoff control is completed" refers to the completion of opening the switch 2 in the current cutoff control.

[0040] As shown in Fig. 3, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 calculates the load magnetic flux change Δφ based on the difference between an assumed load voltage, which is the voltage of the load L when it is assumed that the power system S is normal, and the load voltage measured by the load voltage measurement unit 6. Specifically, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 calculates the load magnetic flux change Δφ by integrating the difference between the assumed load voltage (the load voltage shown by the dashed line in Fig. 4) and the measured load voltage (the load voltage shown by the solid line in Fig. 4) during the period from when an abnormality occurs in the power system S to when the voltage compensation control unit 852 starts voltage compensation control. Then, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 calculates the correction voltage by, for example, performing PI control based on the deviation between the load magnetic flux change Δφ and a load magnetic flux change target value, which is a target value for preventing magnetic flux saturation of the load L.

[0041] Here, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 calculates the correction voltage so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ is greater than 0 and the magnetic flux of the load L is smaller than the saturation magnetic flux of the load L. Specifically, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 calculates the correction voltage so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ during voltage compensation control is equal to or less than a predetermined value a at which magnetic flux saturation of the load L does not occur. Note that when the load magnetic flux change Δφ is equal to or less than the predetermined value a, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 does not need to calculate the correction voltage.

[0042] 3, the voltage limiting unit 855 limits the output voltage of the power converter 4, which is the voltage obtained by adding the compensation voltage and the correction voltage, to a predetermined range. The predetermined range here has a lower limit value that is, for example, −1.1 times the rated voltage of the power converter 4, and an upper limit value that is 1.1 times the rated voltage of the power converter 4. If the output voltage is within the predetermined range, the voltage limiting unit 855 causes the power converter 4 to output that output voltage, and if the output voltage is outside the predetermined range, the voltage limiting unit 855 causes the power converter 4 to output a voltage of the lower limit value or a voltage of the upper limit value.

[0043] <Power supply system control operation> Next, the control operation of the power supply system 100 will be described.

[0044] (1) Normal operation of power system S The measured system voltage measured by the system voltage measuring unit 5 is output to the opening command output unit 82. The opening command output unit 82 compares the measured system voltage with a predetermined value.

[0045] When the power system S is normal, the switch 2 is turned on, and AC power is supplied from the power system S to the load L.

[0046] (2) When an abnormality occurs in power system S For example, if a voltage sag occurs and the system voltage falls below a predetermined value, the opening command output unit 82 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the power system S, and outputs an opening command to the switch control unit 84.

[0047] When the open command is output, the switch control unit 84 performs control using the drive circuit to open the switch 2. Furthermore, the current cut-off control unit 851 controls the current output from the power converter 4 so that the current flowing through the switch 2 becomes zero.

[0048] Here, from the time the opening command is output until the opening of switch 2 is completed, the magnetic flux of load transformer Tr decreases due to the occurrence of a voltage sag, as shown in Fig. 4. The magnetic flux change correction unit 854 calculates the load magnetic flux change Δφ based on the deviation between the assumed load voltage and the measured load voltage.

[0049] Then, when the opening of switch 2 is completed, switch control unit 84 outputs a switch completion signal. When the switch completion signal is output, control switching unit 853 switches from current cut-off control to voltage compensation control. As a result, current cut-off control unit 851 completes the current cut-off control, and voltage compensation control unit 852 calculates a compensation voltage and starts voltage compensation control.

[0050] At the same time that the control switching unit 853 switches from current interruption control to voltage compensation control, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 outputs a correction voltage so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value a. Specifically, at the same time that the voltage compensation control unit 852 starts voltage compensation control, the power converter 4 is controlled to output a correction voltage and a compensation voltage.

[0051] When the compensation voltage and correction voltage are output, the voltage limiting unit 855 limits the output voltage so that the output voltage obtained by adding the compensation voltage and correction voltage falls within a predetermined range. As a result, the power converter 4 outputs an output voltage within the predetermined range, or a voltage at the upper limit or lower limit of the predetermined range.

[0052] When the voltage of the load L is compensated and the power grid S is restored to normal, the power supply command output unit 83 outputs a power supply command. In response to the output of the power supply command, the switch control unit 84 closes the switch 2.

[0053] When the closing of the switch 2 is completed, the switch control unit 84 outputs a closing completion signal. Upon receiving the output of the closing completion signal, the voltage compensation of the load L by the power converter 4 is completed.

[0054] <Simulation results> Next, we will show the voltage waveforms and current waveforms in various power supply systems through simulations. The accident condition in the following simulations is a three-phase short-circuit accident with a momentary sag in which the voltage of the power system S drops by 100%.

[0055] Fig. 5 shows the simulation results when the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 outputs a correction voltage to the power converter 4 so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ is 0. In Fig. 5, the correction voltage is simply calculated so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ is 0, and no voltage limit is imposed on the power converter 4. As shown in Fig. 5, by setting the load magnetic flux change Δφ to 0, the magnetic flux imbalance of the load L is eliminated, and it can be seen that no excitation current is generated from the power converter 4.

[0056] FIG. 6 shows the simulation results when the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 outputs a correction voltage to the power converter 4 so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ is equal to or less than a predetermined value a at which magnetic flux saturation of the load L does not occur. In FIG. 6, the correction voltage is simply calculated so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ is equal to a, and no voltage limiting is performed on the power converter 4. As shown in FIG. 6, by keeping the load magnetic flux change Δφ equal to or less than the predetermined value a, the magnetic flux imbalance of the load L is eliminated, and no excitation current is generated from the power converter 4. In addition, compared to when the power converter 4 outputs a correction voltage so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ is equal to zero, a smaller correction voltage reduces the voltage applied to the load L, confirming that overvoltage in the load can be reduced.

[0057] 7 shows the simulation results for the case where the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 outputs a correction voltage to the power converter 4 so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ is equal to or less than a predetermined value a at which magnetic flux saturation of the load L does not occur, and the voltage limiting unit 855 limits the output voltage of the power converter 4. As shown in FIG. 7, by keeping the load magnetic flux change Δφ equal to or less than the predetermined value a, it is clear that the magnetic flux imbalance of the load L is eliminated and no excitation current is generated from the power converter 4. In addition, it was confirmed that the overvoltage of the load can be improved compared to the case where the voltage limiting unit 855 does not limit the output voltage of the power converter 4.

[0058] Figure 8 shows the simulation results for the case where the load voltage is compensated for without correcting the load magnetic flux change Δφ, as in the conventional case. As shown in Figure 8, the magnetic flux of the load transformer Tr becomes saturated, generating an excitation current. This causes an overcurrent to flow in the power converter 4, which may cause the power converter 4 to stop.

[0059] <Effects of this embodiment> According to the power supply system 100 of this embodiment, the magnetic flux change corrector 854 causes the power converter 4 to output a correction voltage so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ is equal to or less than a predetermined value, thereby preventing magnetic flux saturation in the transformer interposed between the power system S and the load L. As a result, the generation of an excitation current can be prevented, and the power converter 4 can be prevented from stopping due to an overcurrent.

[0060] According to the power supply system 100 of this embodiment, the load magnetic flux change Δφ is corrected so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ is greater than 0 and the magnetic flux of the load L is smaller than the saturation magnetic flux of the load L, thereby preventing magnetic flux saturation of the load L and preventing an overvoltage from being output from the power converter 4 to the load L.

[0061] The magnetic flux change correction unit 854 calculates the load magnetic flux change Δφ based on the difference between the assumed load voltage when it is assumed that the power system S is normal and the measured load voltage, so that it can accurately calculate the load magnetic flux change Δφ when the power system S is abnormal.

[0062] The voltage limiting unit 855 limits the output voltage of the power converter 4, which is the sum of the compensation voltage and the correction voltage, to within a predetermined range, thereby preventing an overvoltage from being output from the power converter 4 to the load L.

[0063] <Other embodiments> The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 calculates the correction voltage so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ during voltage compensation control is equal to or less than the predetermined value a at which magnetic flux saturation of the load L does not occur, but the value by which the load magnetic flux change Δφ is corrected is not limited to this. For example, in order to eliminate bias in the magnetic flux of the load transformer Tr, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 may correct the load magnetic flux change Δφ so that the load magnetic flux change Δφ becomes zero.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 outputs the correction voltage to the power converter 4 at the same time that the control switching unit 853 switches from current interruption control to voltage compensation control, but the timing at which the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 outputs the correction voltage to the power converter 4 is not limited to this. If the load transformer Tr does not become magnetically saturated, the magnetic flux change correction unit 854 may output the correction voltage to the power converter 4 after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of voltage compensation control.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the power converter control unit 85 includes the voltage limiting unit 855, but it is not necessary to include the voltage limiting unit 855. Even in this case, the magnetic flux change correcting unit 854 causes the power converter 4 to output a correction voltage, thereby preventing magnetic flux saturation of the load transformer Tr interposed between the power system S and the load L.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the power supply system 100 is configured to include a system voltage measuring unit 5, a load voltage measuring unit 6, and a switch current measuring unit 7, but the load voltage measuring unit 6 and the switch current measuring unit 7 may be provided separately from the power supply system 100.

[0068] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
