Description

For high-voltage electric power system switchgear and include the device of this switchgear
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to high-voltage electric power systems.More particularly, the present invention relate to the switches of high-voltage electric power system Equipment and the device for including this switchgear.
Background technology
Known switchgear is used in various high-voltage applications.As an example, switchgear may be used as mixed DC (DC) A part for breaker or as its main circuit breaker, breaker uses mechanical switch and electric switch.Switchgear can also be by It provides in the valve of voltage source converter (VSC).In this case, VSC can be turned at alternating current (AC) between DC It changes, and can be provided in converter station, which is between DC high-voltage electric power systems and AC high-voltage electric power systems Interface.VSC can also be provided as the reactive power compensation device in AC systems, such as static VAR compensator (SVC).These Only it is the several examples for the device that can use HV switchgears.
Switchgear in above-mentioned example is required to bear high voltage.Therefore, switchgear allows for avoiding low Failure when bearing voltage.All these systems have in common that typically now to come in fact by using thyristor Existing switchgear, such as igbt (IGBT) or integrated grid change transistor (IGCT).In high-voltage applications, Switch element has relatively low voltage blocking capability, usually in the range of a few kV.Therefore, for such as in network system Very high voltage application, need being connected in series with to reach tens kV to hundreds of kV for these elements.This requirement is individually set Standby higher reliability, but also increase complexity and the size requirement of this equipment.
It is well known that for lower voltage range, can be carried using the combination of two distinct types of switch element For the relatively low switching capability of the higher withstanding voltage of one of equipment and second equipment.
Some of the recommendations have been proposed for providing the group of different types of thyristor in switchgear It closes.If these different types of switch elements are connected in series with, this switchgear is commonly known as " cascode devices ". Therefore, " cascode devices " are the mixing apparatus being connected in series with, and hereinafter will use the expression formula with this meaning. The main reason for this method is certain favorable characteristics in conjunction with each element to obtain more preferably overall performance and trade-off relationship.
A kind of known such combination is SiC junction field effect transistors (JFET) and silicon metal oxide semiconductor field effect Transistor (MOSFET) cascade is answered, such as to replace IGBT.This combination provides normally-off devices, because in many It is not intended to that JFET often is connected in.In addition, the control of MOSFET gate drivings is needing to replace IGBT's with JFET cascades It is preferred in most of applications.
Another example be with the concatenated gate turn-off thyristors of MOSFET (GTO) or integrated grid change transistor (GCT), It is referred to as emitter turn-off thyristor (ETO).This has been demonstrated to provide controls gate driving and saturation/short circuit energy with voltage The low conducting state thyristor structure of power.It is worth noting that, IGCT concepts also use cascode structure, wherein MOSFET with IGCT gate series connect.But compared with ETO, MOSFET can only commutate cut-off current.
But these combine the example of two types semiconductor devices to can only achieve the withstanding voltage less than number 10kV, therefore Be not suitable for common HV application, unless by it is several they connect again.
Many high-voltage electric power systems are used for power transmission.In such systems, it is critically important that efficiency is very high.It is transported to electricity The electric power of force transmission system leaves electrical power transmission system as much as possible.Loss in electrical power transmission system must be very low, especially It is to reduce the heat caused by them.
However, be connected in series with thyristor the problem of be that each such element has conduction loss.Cause This, the conduction loss of the switchgear being made of thyristor by be thyristor conduction loss it is total With.Therefore, the conduction loss of switchgear may have the efficiency of high-voltage electric power system and significantly affect.In addition, if by each A equipment tandem compound, then the reliability of each equipment must be very high.They are also more complicated, for example, because each equipment is both needed to It to be switched using grid unit.Finally, the space requirement of these systems is quite high.
It is therefore intended that obtaining a kind of switchgear, wherein the reduction of conduction loss can be obtained, have especially by using There are high voltage carrying capacity and relatively low-loss individual equipment.
The present invention is provided to solve the problems, such as this." electron tube ", that is, vacuum tube and especially gas tube are in power half Conductor device is used before, to provide switching function in high-voltage applications.These electron tubes be based on vacuum in or The electron stream in plasma under person's low pressure.They have been shown to withstand up to the high pressure of 135kV.Therefore, they have It is used as individual equipment rather than the potential quality of much equipment being connected in series with.
A large amount of in the presence of this electron tube using different physical mechanisms design to provide different functions.They can match Standby high current and turn-on and turn-off function.Low inflation pipe has especially been researched and developed for electric power application.

Specific implementation mode
This hereinafter detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present invention will be given.
Fig. 1 shows direct current (DC) the power transmission system of the simplification including the first converter station 10 and the second converter station 12 System.Two converter stations 10 and 12 include using both mechanical switch and electric switch by 18 interconnection of DC links, DC links 18 Mixing HVDC breakers 22.First converter station 10 includes being connected to exchange (AC) power transmission system via the first transformer T1 First current transformer 14 of system, and the second converter station 12 includes being connected to the 2nd AC power transmissions system via the second transformer T2 Second current transformer 16 of system.It is not illustrated in detail any AC electrical power transmission systems.However, in the first AC electrical power transmission systems Reactive power compensation device 20 is provided, which can be so-called static VAR compensator (SVC).DC System and AC systems be all the example of high-voltage electric power system, and in this case and high voltage power transmission system show Example.
Both current transformer 14 and current transformer 16 can be voltage source converters (VSC), and can be two level unsteady flows Device, or include the Multilevel Inverters of multiple units, that is, it is used to form the voltage source of multiple units of multiple voltage levels Current transformer.Conversion in this example carries out also between DC and three-phase AC.Therefore, two current transformers all have there are three bridge arm, One bridge arm of each phase.In example given later, a bridge arm only will be shown and described.It is well known, however, that all Bridge arm realization all having the same.It should also be appreciated that there are other kinds of voltage source converter, such as neutral point clamper three Level current transformer and various n level current transformers.
Current transformer 14 and current transformer 16, reactive power compensation device 20 and mixing DC breakers 22 are all to use switchgear High-voltage electric power system in device example.Show it should be appreciated that these are only the several of the configuration in high-voltage electric power system Example, can be used for example the electrical power transmission system of switchgear.
As previously mentioned, by being connected in series with a large amount of thyristor, i.e., the traditional approach for providing switchgear is It is realized by using semiconductor devices (such as igbt (IGBT) or integrated grid change transistor (IGCT)) Switch element.
It is also as before, the conduction loss of the switchgear of gained can be increased using some concatenated such elements, This has negative effect to the efficiency for using the high-voltage electric power system of the switchgear in many cases.
It is also possible to increase the cost and size of possibility and switchgear that switchgear breaks down.
Solves the above problem by the switchgear for introducing new.
The new switching equipment is " cascade device " comprising two different switch elements are connected in series with, and one A thyristor and a switch element (gas tube such as with very high voltage blocking capability based on electron tube Or vacuum tube).
Fig. 2 shows the first modifications of new switchgear 24.Switchgear 24 includes the first thyristor 26, First thyristor 26 can at least be turned off and may can also be connected, and have first grid G1, Yi Ji One electric current conductive terminal CCT1 and the second electric current conductive terminal CCT2.
Switchgear 24 further includes second switch element 28, and second switch element 28 can at least be connected and possibility can also Enough shutdowns, and include the electron tube with second grid G2 and first electrode E1 and second electrode E2, wherein grid G 2 can With the electric current being configured between coordination electrode E1 and E2, it is advantageously that unidirectional current.First electrode E1 is cathode, and the second electricity Pole E2 is anode.
As in fig. 2 it can be seen that first switching element 26 and second switch element 28 are serially connected so that second The first electrode E1 of switch element 28 is electrically connected to the second electric current conductive terminal CCT2 of first switching element 26.Here, second Electrode E2 and the first electric current conductive terminal CCT1 is the connection terminal of switchgear 24, it means that provides them for connection To the other parts of high-voltage electric power system.If switchgear 24 is device (such as current transformer 14, SVC20 or DC breakers 22) A part, then terminal CCT1 and E2 may be coupled to the other parts of current transformer 14, SVC20 or DC breakers 22.
Second switch element 28 can be gas tube.Alternatively, it can also be vacuum tube.First switching element 26 can To be the switch element based on thyristor, such as integrated grid change transistor (GTO, IGCT).Alternatively, it can also be Transistor, such as igbt (IGBT) or junction field effect transistor JFET.In the case of IGCT, the first electricity It can be cathode to flow conductive terminal CCT1, and the second electric current conductive terminal CCT2 can be anode.In the case of igbts, first Electric current conductive terminal CCT1 can be emitter, and the second current conductor terminal CCT2 can be collector.
Switchgear 24 can be the gas vacuum tube elements of the very high pressure as second switch element or hard vacuum tube Element is connected with the semiconductor element of the relatively low voltage as first switching element.As second switch element, based on not With design, there are many selections, hard vacuum tube (as triode, tetrode etc.), gas tube (such as Thyratrons, Crossed-field discharge switch), or such as Crossatron and coreless armature element (such as Hollowtron or pseudo- sparks Switch) particular element, name just a few.These elements have the function of extensive voltage and current rated value and different.So And the main distinction of they and power semiconductor is their the very high voltage carrying capacity for single device (can be between 10kV-135kV), so that their systems suitable for the very high pressure of such as HVDC.With for realizing The equivalent force device configuration being connected in series with of identical rated voltage is compared, for this high-pressure installation, in these elements Some also have have a great attraction loss performance.According to component type, they additionally provide and function are only connected, such as Thyratron, or provide turn-on and turn-off function, such as Crossatron and Hollowtron.
May only have second switch element that can be connected.On the other hand, first switching element at least needs to turn off control.This It is meant that if there is second switch element the grid that can be connected, first switching element 26 may not have conducting Ability, and it is only off the switch element of type, such as JFET.
In addition, first switching element 26 has first voltage ability to bear, and second switch element 28 has second voltage Ability to bear, and the voltage carrying capacity of second switch element 28 can be significantly higher than the voltage of first switching element 26 and hold By ability.For example, it can be ten times of the voltage carrying capacity of first switching element.Alternatively, it can be at least 20 times high Or it is at least 25 times high.
This combination can for example bear the IGCT of 4500V to be connected in series to and can withstand up to 135kV's Crossatron or Thyratron.As can be seen that this will cause second voltage bear to bear than first voltage it is 80/3 times high.
In fig. 2 it can also be seen that second electrode E2 has potential more higher than the first electric current conductive terminal CCT1, this is logical It crosses the second electrode with positive potential (+) and the first electric current conductive terminal with negative potential (-) is shown.This means that technology is electric Stream or conventional current are from second electrode E2 to the first electric current conductive terminal CCT1.Electron stream will in the opposite direction.
In addition, switch element can joint operation in the interruption of second electrode E2 and the first electric current conductive terminal CCT1 Open or formed current path.In the illustrated example shown in fig. 2, it is employed as the Gate control unit 30 of a part for switchgear 24 To obtain the joint operation.Therefore, joint operation is cooperating.Joint operation can also be that sequence operates.However, should recognize Know, this joint operation is not necessarily obtained by this Gate control unit 30, but it includes switchgear 24 that can be used as The part of control of device provide.For example, if one as VSC (such as the first current transformer 14) of switchgear 24 Point provide, then grid control function can be provided as the switchgear of VSC integrally control a part (for example, with In the part for forming AC waveforms).
Gate control unit 30 is provided for being formed or being disconnected in second electrode E2 and the first electric current conductive terminal Current conduction path between CCT1.
Gate control unit 30 may be configured to form current path by using grid control sequence, the grid control Sequence processed includes:Grid control signal is applied to first grid G1 first switching element 26 is connected, then by grid first Pole control signal is applied to second grid so that second switch element 28 is connected.Therefore, second grid G2 can be in first switch Grid control signal is received after the conducting of element 26.Sequence may be reversed.
Therefore, thyristor 26 and grid tube elements 28 can be initially connected with given sequence, this is not to close Key, if power semiconductor 26 first turns on, and the still blocking voltage of pipe 28.Therefore, electron tube is made to be connected It is crucial, and the conducting of semiconductor devices can be optional.
One limitation of most of sorts of electronic pipes as second switch element is that they are typically only capable to shutdown appropriateness (moderate) electric current, because they depend on low plasma density in this process.In contrast, semiconductor element can be with By quite high switch off current.
In order to solve this problem, Gate control unit 30 can be first by grid control signal at turn-off current path First grid G1 is applied to turn off first switching element 26, to by the electric current in current path from the first conventional current level It is reduced to the second lower cut-off current level, to make second switch element 28 be turned off under this second current level with disconnected Open current path.
Depending on the type of second switch element 28, Gate control unit 30 can also apply grid control to second grid G2 Signal processed disconnects second switch element 28 when being in the second current level with the electric current in current path, described in disconnection Current path.
In the example of the IGCT and Crossatron or Thyratron that are given above, during shutdown, IGCT is closed first It is disconnected, electric current is reduced to extremely low level before shutdown gas tube 28 (in the case of Crossatron).If the Two switch elements 28 are Thyratron, then may not be needed grid control signal, because Thyratron can be due to low current It flows and voluntarily turns off.
As can be seen that the use of first switching element 26 also allows to provide turn-off capacity for second switch element 28, second Switch element 28 is generally not provided its turn-off capacity, or alternatively, consumingly enhances their passes to higher nominal current Cutting capacity.In addition, first switching element 26 improves the reliability of combination unit.
With the 10V of electron tube up to the common forward voltage (depending strongly on selected tube design) of 1kV It compares, the additional voltage drop by semiconductor is a small factor always.
In principle, the configuration of two switch elements in cascade device can be arbitrary.It therefore can as replacement Can, the first electrode E1 of second switch element 28 is connected to negative potential (-), and second electrode E2 is electrically connected to first switch member The second electric current conductive terminal CCT2 of first electric current conductive terminal CCT1 of part 26, first switching element 26 are connected to positive potential (+).Show the realization but not control unit the present invention the second modification schematically show in figure 3.As a result, there will be Electric current from the second electric current conductive terminal CCT2 to first electrode E1.It may, however, be preferred that electron tube is made to be first in skill Art direction of current flow followed by semiconductor devices, just as shown in FIG. 2.Therefore, switchgear 24 can be designed to use In being connected to high-voltage electric power system so that the direction of current conduction by it is from second electrode E2 to the first electric current conductive terminal CCT1.This is because the asymmetrical design of electron tube, wherein conducting (and shutdown) is due to the voltage relative to cathode.In general, Electron tube has high withstanding voltage between grid and anode, and needs low-voltage between the gate electrode and the cathode electrode, is used for them Control.In this configuration, it needs to control both grid G1 and grid G 2 relative to the "-" voltage in Fig. 2.With exchange Two devices are compared, and G2 will be controlled relative to "-" voltage, but G1 is controlled relative to intermediate voltage level.During opening state, Voltage between G1 and G2 by be high voltage magnitude.
In addition, some inflation tube elements usually require largely to commutate the current to grid by using additional power supply. In being configured shown in fig. 2, semiconductor element is allowed to limit the current of commutation, because it is a part for current path. In exchanging the alternative configuration of position of semiconductor devices and gas tube, situation is really not so, and it reduce the serviceabilities of design.
As described above, switchgear 24 can use in various devices (such as in VSC).In this device, lead to It is often used inverse parallel current regulator elements, such as diode.Therefore, switchgear 24 may include anti-paralleled diode.Wherein One example is shown in FIG. 4, and Fig. 4 shows first switching element 26 and second switch element 28 in Fig. 2.However, In addition, here there is also anti-paralleled diode D, cathode is connected to second electrode E2, and its anode is connected to the first electric current Conductive terminal CCT1.It please remember, in this case, diode can be based on semiconductor or electron tube principle.In this variant, Gate control unit is omitted.However, may also include a Gate control unit here.
Another example of the switchgear including inverse parallel unidirectional current transport element is shown in FIG. 5.Fig. 5 is also shown First switching element 26 in Fig. 2 and second switch element 28.However, in addition, it includes anti-to exist in means 24 here Parallel connection sealing electron tube 31 unidirectional current transport element, inverse parallel sealing electron tube 31 include third grid G 3 and Third electrode E3 and the 4th electrode E4, wherein grid G 3 are configured to the electric current between coordination electrode E3 and E4, i.e. unidirectional current. Third electrode E3 can be anode, and the 4th electrode E4 can be cathode.Third electrode E3 is connected to the first electric current conductive terminal CCT1, and the 4th electrode E4 is connected to second electrode E2.In addition, Gate control unit can certainly be added here, therefore grid Pole control unit can also control third grid G 3 and for example be connected always.
As described above, switchgear 24 can be used in a plurality of types of devices.Fig. 6 shows the bridge of the first current transformer Arm, the first current transformer is realized as tool, and there are two the two level current transformer 14A of current transformer valve CV1 and CV2, wherein the first current transformer Valve CV1 is connected to the negative D/C voltage-V of the first transformer T1 and DC link 18DCBetween, and the second current transformer valve CV2 is connected to Positive D/C voltage+the V of first transformer T1 and DC link 18DCBetween.There are one DC link capacitors C across two valves CV1 and CV2 Connection.In the apparatus, each valve can be realized for example, by switchgear shown in figure 2 and figure 3.Provided that the Two valve CV2, then second electrode will be connected to positive D/C voltage+VDC, and the first electric current conductive terminal will be connected to the first transformer T1. If the switchgear of Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 will be used, it is unidirectionally electric the inverse parallel as shown in figures 4 and 5 may must to be added Spread guiding element.Alternatively, the switchgear of Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 can directly be used.
Another example for the device that can use switchgear 24 is shown in FIG. 7.In this case, the first current transformer It is the modular multi-level converter 14B using half-bridge cells, wherein Fig. 7 shows the first bridge arm comprising respectively via right The bridge arm reactor LA that answers and bridge arm reactor LB engagements (join) to bridge arm midpoint upper bridge arm and lower bridge arm, in bridge arm Point is joined to the first transformer (not shown).As shown in FIG. 7, each bridge arm is made of multiple units 32, each unit 32 It is implemented as being connected in series with for two switches in parallel with cell capaciator.In the figure 7 it also shows that this switch is generally implemented For the IGBT with anti-paralleled diode.
As shown in FIG. 8, unit 32'Each of switch can be replaced by switchgear 24, such as Fig. 4 or Fig. 5 is opened Close equipment.Two switchgears 24 being connected in series with as a result, and cell capaciator CUnitIt is connected in parallel.In this case, it above opens Cell capaciator C will be connected to by closing the second electrode of equipmentUnitUpper end, and the first electric current conductive terminal will be connected to lower switch Equipment, and it is more specifically connected to the second electrode of lower switch equipment, the second electric current conductive terminal will be connected to cell capacitance Device CUnitLower end.
If the switchgear of Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 is used instead, corresponding unidirectional current transport element certainly must with such as Each switchgear 24 shown in figures 4 and 5 is connected in parallel.
SVC can also be implemented as VSC, such as by modular more level VSC, wherein three bridge arms are with triangle (delta) configuration connection.In this case, each bridge arm can be realized by one or more switchgears.
Finally, mixing HVDC breakers 22 are shown in FIG. 9.It includes main circuit breaker 35 and a load-commutated switch 38, main circuit breaker 35 and for example pass through a mechanical switch realize 36 company of series connection of ultrahigh speed decoupler (disconnector) It connects.Here there is also first surge arrester (arrestor) SA1 in parallel with main circuit breaker 35 and with load-commutated switch 38 second surge arrester SA2 in parallel.
In this case, main circuit breaker 35 can be realized by one or more concatenated switchgears.It is load-commutated Switch can also use switchgear.
There is the case where AC circuit-breakers usually realized by the thyristor being connected in series in AC systems Under, then this thyristor can also be replaced by switch element.
Therefore a kind of new switchgear is had been illustrated with, many different devices that can be used in high-voltage electric power system In, such as high voltage power transmission system.New switching device has many advantages, including low conduction loss, can be by limited The element of quantity is realized and has high reliability.
