Description

Power management circuit applied to GCT device gate electrode drive
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of power, relates to a power electronic device, and particularly relates to a power management circuit applied to gate drive of a GCT device.
Background
The gate commutated thyristor GCT (Gate Commutated Thyristor) device is used as a high-power semiconductor switching device, is characterized by gate commutated turn-off technology, and has the advantages of low on-state voltage drop of thyristors (SCR) and gate turn-off thyristors (GTO), stable dynamic and static turn-off performance of IGBT, and the like.
The existing gate drive applied to GCT devices (such as IGCT, ETO and the like) mainly comprises a power management circuit module, an on module, an off module, a monitoring and communication module and the like as shown in figure 1. The pre-charging capacitor group with several tens of mF exists in the turn-off module of the GCT device, and in the turn-off state, the capacitor group is connected with the gate pole and the cathode pole of the GCT in parallel, so that the voltage between the gate pole and the cathode pole is kept to be reversely biased, and the anode pole and the cathode pole of the GCT can withstand rated direct current voltage or transient voltage. If the voltage between the gate and the cathode does not meet a certain reverse bias condition, the withstand voltage and the voltage change rate of the GCT cannot reach the rated withstand voltage values. The power management circuit supplies power for a dozens of mF capacitor groups of the turn-off module, the turn-on module, the monitoring and communication module and the like.
The power-up start-up process of GCT gate driving requires charging the capacitor bank to a preset voltage threshold (e.g., 20V). Because of the limited charging power of the power management circuit, the typical gate drive power-on start-up process of existing GCTs generally requires 3-5 seconds. During the charging process, the GCT is ensured to be in an off state, and a higher voltage or a voltage change rate cannot be applied between the anode and the cathode, otherwise, the GCT can be damaged by overvoltage breakdown. Therefore, in GCT applications, it is necessary to complete the GCT gate drive power-up process before applying high voltage between the anode and cathode. Correspondingly, the GCT gate driving power supply can be disconnected after the voltage between the anode and the cathode is reduced to a certain value. This also determines that the GCT gate drive cannot directly draw power from between the anode and cathode, but requires the use of a low potential other power supply loop to power the GCT gate drive unit in high voltage isolation.
In addition, under the condition of the existing power management circuit, once the external power supply fails, the gate drive cannot work normally immediately, so that the system applied by the GCT fails.
The power management circuit of the gate drive in the prior art severely limits the application of GCT, particularly in the high voltage field, and the isolation voltage level for supplying power to the GCT gate drive unit is continuously improved along with the improvement of the voltage level, so that the device volume and the power supply cost are greatly increased, and the reliability is reduced.
Disclosure of Invention

The second power module is used for providing a certain reverse bias voltage between the gate and the cathode of the GCT device or short-circuiting the gate and the cathode of the GCT device when the capacitor of the turn-off circuit module is not charged in the power-on process of the GCT device.
The second power supply module is configured to provide a certain reverse bias voltage between a gate and a cathode of the GCT device or short-circuit the gate and the cathode of the GCT device under a condition that a capacitance voltage of the turn-off circuit module is low in a power-off process of the GCT device.
And in the processes of power-on, power-off and normal operation of the GCT device, the second power module is used for supplying power to the first power module by utilizing the voltage between the anode and the cathode of the GCT device, the external power supply is turned off, and the power supply of the external power supply is reduced.
When the external power supply is abnormal and a third power supply module of the adjacent-stage GCT device is abnormal, the second power supply module takes power from the voltage between the anode and the cathode of the GCT device, and the first power supply module supplies power for the on module and the off module.
When the external power supply is abnormal and the second power supply module is abnormal, the third power supply module of the adjacent-stage GCT device supplies power for the on module and the off module through the first power supply module.
The threshold value of the reverse bias voltage between the gate electrode and the cathode electrode provided by the second power supply module is equal to or lower than the preset threshold value of the voltage of the first power supply module, and the reverse bias voltage between the gate electrode and the cathode electrode preset by the second power supply module is quickly charged when the anode voltage and the cathode voltage of the GCT device are increased to lower voltages in the power-on process of the GCT device. And the reverse bias voltage between the gate electrode and the cathode electrode provided by the second power supply module is maintained until the voltage between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode of the GCT device is reduced below a safe value.
And when the voltage of the anode and the cathode of the GCT device rises to a lower voltage in the electrifying process of the GCT device, the second power supply module rapidly shorts the gate and the cathode.
And the second power supply module maintains the gate electrode and the cathode electrode of the GCT device to be short-circuited until the voltage between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode of the GCT device is reduced below a safe value.
The first, second and third power supply modules can feed back the state information of the first power supply module, the second power supply module and the external power supply module to the monitoring and communication module; and the monitoring and communication module reports the state information to a superior system.
Wherein the GCT device and the gate electrode drive together form an IGCT device or an ETO device.
By adopting the technical scheme, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
1) The requirement that the GCT gate electrode driving unit directly takes electricity from a main circuit at the high-voltage side of a GCT device is met, so that the gate electrode driving unit of the GCT does not need to be subjected to high-voltage isolation power supply from low potential, the volume and the cost of the device are greatly reduced, and the reliability is improved;
2) Providing a plurality of standby power supply modes, and enhancing the reliability;
3) And a power supply management strategy for the power-on and power-off processes is added, so that voltage breakdown in the processes is effectively prevented.
