The unit in phase arm usually is controlled by providing control signal to unit, to control the unit to meeting voltage The contribution of reference, wherein Voltage Reference can be set to provide the waveform for meeting control target, pass to obtain certain electric power It passs, such as active or reactive power is transmitted.Therefore it can control unit with for realizing various targets, wherein the shape of waveform can be with It is a target.For control unit, current transformer control structure is provided.Current transformer control structure for phase arm includes control Target control set 12, one or more collection GSU group selection units 14 and multiple clustered control device 16a, 16B, 16C, each cluster One clustered control device.Accordingly, there exist the first clustered controls for controlling unit C1p1 and C2p1 in the first cluster CL1 Device 16A, for controlling the second clustered control device 16B of unit C3p1 and C4p1 in the second cluster CL2, and for controlling The third clustered control device 16C of unit C5p1 and C6o1 in third cluster CL3 processed.Unit C1p1, C2p1, C3p1, C4p1, C5p1 and C6p1 is to corresponding clustered control device 16A, 16B and 16C reporting unit voltage, electric current and temperature, and from the collection Group control device 16A, 16B and 16C receive control signal, this is indicated by two-way dotted arrow.Clustered control device 16A, 16B and 16C is also communicated with collection GSU group selection unit 14, which is also indicated with dotted line four-headed arrow.Collect GSU group selection unit 14 again It is communicated with control target control set 12, this is also indicated with two-way dotted arrow.Communication can be via communication channel, such as light Communication channel and provide.
As described above, for a phase arm provide shown in control structure.Similar control can be provided for each phase arm Structure.In this case, control target control set 12 can be what two collection GSU group selection units 14 shared, one of collection GSU group selection unit is provided for top phase arm, and another collection GSU group selection unit is provided for lower part phase arm.As substitution Scheme, it is possible to, for entire phase foot, there is only a collection GSU group selection units, this is special using full bridge unit Ground is advantageous.Furthermore, it is possible to provide the structure of same type for all phase feet.In this case, target control set 12 is controlled It is also shared for all phase feet.Alternatively, a control target control set can be provided for each phase foot.
Control structure can be realized by one or more computers.As an example, it can also be by using one Or multiple field programmable gate array (FPGA) Lai Shixian.
In control structure, the cluster that clustered control device 16A, 16B, 16C are generally proximal to unit is arranged, and other devices Positioned at a distance from the unit.Clustered control device 16A, 16B, 16C can be via cable (such as passing through optical fiber) even It is connected to collection GSU group selection unit.
Fig. 2 schematically shows the control structures of phase foot, wherein there are control target control set 12, two shared Collect GSU group selection unit 14A and 14B (one cluster selecting unit of each phase arm) and multiple clustered control devices, wherein uniquely showing Clustered control device out be the clustered control device of top phase arm and then illustrate only the first clustered control device 16A and Last clustered control device 16J.In addition, in this example, there is 1000 units in each phase arm, wherein each cluster includes 10 A unit.In order to simplify the figure, illustrate only the first cluster first unit and Unit the tenth and (the tenth cluster) first Unit thousand.In addition, only indicating in the control provided by clustered control device 16A and 16J by associated with the first cluster CL1 The first clustered control device 16A execute control.It is all these to be used for the purpose of simplifying the understanding to various aspects of the present invention.
In the figure, control target control set 12, which is shown as obtaining, is used as desired active power value and reactive power The controlling value P of value*、Q*And desired cell capaciator value(that is, desired cell voltage value of energy storage elements). Control target control set 12 is also depicted as providing upper limit voltage index or phase arm voltage ginseng to the first collection GSU group selection unit 14A It examinesAnd lower voltage limit index or phase arm Voltage Reference are provided to the second collection GSU group selection unit 14B
Control target control set 14 is also depicted as receiving average top phase arm voltage from the first collection GSU group selection unit 14AAnd average lower part phase arm voltage is received from the second collection GSU group selection unit 14BIn addition, the first collection GSU group selection unit 14A is shown as providing cluster index to the first clustered control device 16AAnd it is received from the first clustered control device 16A Averaging unit voltage levelAnd the information of the potential unit being excluded of instruction.Indicate the information of the potential unit being excluded It is maximum allowable index n heremaxN is indexed with minimum allowableminForm.First collection GSU group selection unit 14A is also depicted as It is indexed to the last clustered control device 14J signalling of bouquet of top phase armFirst clustered control device 16A is shown as again Control signal S is sent to the first unit of the first cluster CL1 and Unit the tenth1And S10, and it is electric from these unit acquiring units Press measured value vC1And vC10
As in fig. 2 it can be seen that current transformer should include a large amount of unit, such as 1,000 units.This will lead to respectively Kind problem, is such as difficult to carry out modulation voltage with reasonable low switching frequency, it is difficult to realize the enough insertion time for each unit To realize switching action appropriate, and it is difficult to obtain the control knot for being capable of handling thousands of input/output (I/O) signal Structure.
In these problems, the insertion time may be most serious.
In order to solve this point, it is proposed that execute control strategy by current transformer control structure.
Describe how to execute this control according to control strategy referring now to Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, wherein scheming 3 show cell voltage variation, and Fig. 4 shows the flow chart of the multiple method and steps executed by control target control set 12, Fig. 5 is shown by the flow chart of the first collection GSU group selection unit 14A multiple method and steps executed, and Fig. 6 is shown by selected The method and step that the clustered control device (for example, first clustered control device 16A) selected executes.
It is appreciated that cell voltage is not static from Fig. 3, variation.It is inserted into the electricity of the unit in phase arm Container is typically charged or discharges, this is determined by the sense of current of phase arm, and wherein positive current is usually to cell capaciator Charging, and negative current discharges to cell capaciator.In addition, allowing cell voltage at the first upper limit voltage level V1UL and first It rations the power supply and changes between voltage level V1LL, wherein having reached the unit of the first upper limit voltage level V1UL does not allow to be electrically charged, and And the unit for having reached the first lower voltage limit level V1LL does not allow to be discharged.This is indicated, is in the first upper limit voltage level The unit of V1UL is not inserted into for positive arm electric current, and the unit in the first lower voltage limit level V1LL is not inserted into for bearing Arm electric current.Then, there is the unit close to the cell voltage of the first upper limit voltage level can have cell voltage variation VCMAX, And there is the unit close to the cell voltage of the first lower voltage limit level V1LL can have cell voltage variation VCMIN
In addition, this principle can also follow in cluster level.The unit of the available unit of clustered control device 16 Voltage and cluster voltage measuring value is formed, such as cell voltage average value VCAVE, which is allowed to Change between two upper limit voltage level V2UL and the second lower voltage limit level V2LL, wherein the second upper limit voltage level V23UL has It is lower than the first upper limit voltage level V1UL sharply and the second lower voltage limit level V2LL is higher than the first lower voltage limit level V1LL. Cluster voltage measuring value can be used for instructing selection cluster.
Therefore, each unit control apparatus obtains the cell voltage of the unit in cluster and executes three activities.First Activity is to be compared to each unit voltage and the first upper limit voltage level V1UL to determine whether there is any unit electricity Pressure is equal to or higher than first upper limit voltage level V1UL, and the second activity is by each unit voltage and the first lower voltage limit Level V1LL is compared to determine whether to deposit any cell voltage equal to or less than the first lower voltage limit level V1LL.With This mode, in the case where cluster will be used to be utilized respectively positive arm electric current and negative arm electric current carrys out control unit, determination will be excluded Which unit.N can be indexed by the previously mentioned maximum cluster of determinationmaxN is indexed with minimum clusterminTo determine potential arranged The unit removed, and these indexes are supplied to the first collection GSU group selection unit 14A.In the case where any unit of no exclusion, The value of these indexes will be equal to the total number of cluster unit and null set group unit.However, being had reached on first in any unit It rations the power supply in the case where voltage level V1UL, then maximum cluster indexes nmaxAmount corresponding with nominal cell voltage will be reduced.With similar Mode, will lead to minimum cluster at or below the unit of the first lower voltage limit level V1LL and index nminIncrease and nominal list The corresponding amount of first voltage.Then minimum and maximum cluster index is reported to collection GSU group selection unit 14A.As can be seen that with this Kind mode, the information about the potential unit being excluded for two current directions is determined, and is reported to cluster Selection device, step 32.It should here be realised that the advice method of other potential units being excluded can be used, such as directly Connect the number for providing the unit being excluded for the first electric current arm direction, and being excluded for opposite current direction Another number of unit.
The third activity executed by each unit control apparatus is that the value of assembled unit voltage is above-mentioned to obtain Cluster voltage measuring value, then the cluster voltage measuring value indicates the voltage level of cluster.This can be obtained as unit electricity The average value of pressureOr averaging unit voltage.Another possibility is using summation.It as an alternative, can be with determination unit The intermediate value of voltage.Then cluster voltage measuring value is also reported to the first collection GSU group selection unit 14A.Cluster voltage measurement as a result, Value is also determined and is reported to the first collection GSU group selection unit 14A, step 34.
Now, by about the top phase arm of the first phase foot come be more fully described by control structure execute control.
The control determination first of target control set 12 will be provided in the phase arm of top for real in current time interval Now control the voltage of target, step 18.In this example, control target is to make desired active-power P*With desired idle function Rate Q*With desired balancing cell voltagesMatch.The control is only the example of control target, and is known.Electricity Condenser voltage control can more specifically opened loop control or closed-loop control.
Active and Reactive Power Control can the Conventional measurements (not shown) based on active power and reactive power, and it is single First balance of voltage can be based on the cell voltage average voltage of the measurement in the phase arm of upper and lower partWithCome carry out.Base Then it in the data, controls target control set 12 and determines the Voltage Reference for top phase arm in a way knownWith the Voltage Reference for lower part phase arm
Top phase arm Voltage ReferenceSubstantially define facilitate in current time interval meet with reference to (that is, in order to Meet control target) required for voltage or number of unit in the phase arm of top.Based on how many list needed in preceding time interval Member, then it is known that how many unit be inserted into or exit in current time interval.
Then, reference will be sent to the first collection GSU group selection unit 14AAnd to collect GSU group selection unit 14A to first Notify the cell voltage to be controlled, step 20.
Since control can be used for being formed waveform, some units may be had been inserted into phase arm, and therefore collect GSU group selection unit knows that needs are inserted into how much additional units or need the unit how much being already inserted into exited or remove.
Therefore, the first collection GSU group selection unit 14A receives Voltage Reference from control target control set 12, that is, about working as How many a units are needed to be inserted into information, step 22 with the voltage for meeting control target in preceding time interval.It is also with maximum Cluster indexes nmaxN is indexed with minimum clusterminForm from each clustered control device receive about averaging unit voltage and with The information of the potential relevant instruction of unit being excluded, step 24.
Collection GSU group selection unit 14A also has the knowledge about phase arm sense of current.Based on Voltage Reference, current direction and Precedence scheme (inter-cluster priority scheme) between cluster relevant to phase arm current direction, cluster selection Then device 14A selects the cluster that be inserted into or exit, step 26.Collection GSU group selection unit 14A is typically selected to have most herein The cluster of high or minimum averaging unit voltage for insertion into or exit, wherein electric current be to unit charging positive phase arm electric current In the case where, can choose the cluster with lowest element average voltage for insertion into or can choose with highest The cluster of cell voltage average value is with for exiting, can be with and in the case where electric current is the negative arm electric current to cell discharge Selection the cluster with highest cell voltage average value for insertion into or can choose with lowest element average voltage Cluster with for exiting.
Hereafter, the collection selected clustered control device of GSU group selection unit 14A order controls the list of selected first cluster Member is with for allowing to meet control target, and to avoid the mode for using the unit being excluded, step 28.As an example, should Clustered control device can be the first clustered control device 16A.The order can be by being repaired to clustered control device 16A transmission The cluster index changedTo complete.
The unit of cluster is operated usually as an entity.Usually it can be inserted into or exit in current time interval All units other than the unit being excluded.This is indicated, if be excluded without unit, cluster indexIt will be with collection The insertion of all units is corresponding in group.However, when in the presence of the unit that be excluded, not use, then can be by the collection Group's index reduces amount corresponding with the number for the unit being excluded.This indicates that the first clustered control device is used to control list The order of member may include the order to omit the unit being excluded from the control.
In addition, if being excluded without unit, then it may not be needed other clusters and participate in unit insertion or exit to reach To desired voltage level.But if excluding one or more units in the cluster, it can not probably obtain the electricity It is flat.
Therefore, in order to reach desired voltage level, collection GSU group selection unit can order another clustered control device to be controlled System reaches unit required for the desired number of the unit of phase arm, such as to compensate the voltage for the unit being excluded, step 30. This is indicated, if for example needing to be inserted into other two unit, collects another clustered control device insertion of GSU group selection unit 14A order Two units, and exit two units if necessary, then collect another clustered control device of GSU group selection unit order and exits two Unit (had previously been inserted into selected cluster).This indicates that the unit being excluded can be compensated by another cluster.It is another with this The associated cluster of clustered control device can be the low cluster of the first cluster of priority ratio, such as according under priority orders One cluster.It is also possible to special special cell compensation cluster.
In other words, therefore clustered control device is inserted into unit at voltage limitation, regardless of the original of Ji Qunxuanzezhuanzhichu How is beginning reference voltage.Therefore, actual insertion index may be no longer identical.It can be in Ji Qunxuanzezhuanzhichu to make reality Insertion index can correct the reference insertion index of clustered control device as close possible to the mode of reference voltage.The correction can To be completed by subtracting additional insertion index to the additional insertion index of reference voltage addition or from reference voltage.
Here it can also mention, the change that collection GSU group selection unit can be indexed without cluster, but clustered control device The number for being themselves based on the unit being excluded carries out adaptively.It is excluded however, collection GSU group selection unit may be still necessary to compensation Unit.
Here it can be further noted that, required voltage change may also need lists more more than unit in cluster Member.In that case it is possible to another clustered control device be ordered to control one or more units, even if selected collection All units of group are not potential to be excluded.
Selected clustered control device (can be the first clustered control device 16A in the given example) then proceedes to And select the unit to be operated, and hereafter control selected unit change in current time interval conduction state (that is, Insertion phase arm is exited from phase arm), it can be according to unit priority in cluster relevant to arm current direction wherein being inserted into/exiting Scheme (intra-cluster cell priority scheme) Lai Zhihang, step 36.Therefore, selection is in first upper limit or the Unit in one lower voltage limit level, and exclude to be in, higher or lower than the unit of the voltage level, and control other lists Member.For example, selected unit can be handled with the priority orders defined by each unit voltage.When there are negative arm electricity When stream, it can be firstly inserted into the unit with highest cell voltage, and when there are positive phase arm electric current, can be firstly inserted into has The unit of lowest element voltage.In a similar way, it when there are negative arm electric current, can exit first with lowest element electricity The unit of pressure, and when there are positive phase arm electric current, the unit with highest cell voltage can be exited first.
The priority orders of unit can also be organized at voltage over zero.Therefore, collect GSU group selection unit and each collection Group control device can change priority at current zero-crossing point.
In fig. 3 it can be seen that collection GSU group selection unit by by the cluster voltage measuring value of cluster (for example, average capacitance Device voltage) it adjusts to obtaining cluster inner equilibrium in special frequency band.Clustered control device obtains interior cluster balance again, which will Each condenser voltage in cluster is adjusted into another frequency band, wherein each frequency band can be according to acceptable condenser voltage To design.
In addition, the mode for the unit being inserted into or exit in current time interval in cluster can be held according to some schemes Row.It is, for example, possible to use two level schemes (two-level scheme), make it possible to be inserted into or exit all units simultaneously, Multistage scheme (multistep scheme) can be used, wherein being sequentially inserting unit stepwise, or can be used with electromechanics Square case (random level scheme), wherein being firstly inserted into first group of unit and being inserted into second group of unit.First Kind situation is as shown in Figure 7, wherein carry out the variation of 20kV simultaneously for the first cluster CL1 of ten units, each unit tool There is the cell voltage of 2.5kV.Second situation is as shown in Figure 8, wherein the variation from 0 to 20kV is with the rank of multiple equal sizes Middle progress, wherein one rank of each unit.The third situation is as shown in Figure 9, wherein being carried out using random level from 0 to 20kV Variation, which is all here 10kV for the first cluster CL1 in the form of two ranks.In this case, half Unit can be used for the first rank, and the unit of half can be used for second-order.Here it is possible to should be mentioned that, can also make With the voltage level (it is also example) of 2.5kV so as to for operation error margin is provided.
Further it is possible that using the first scheme shown in fig. 7, and working as cell voltage when cell voltage balance When uneven, second and the third scheme are used.Therefore, whether can be balanced based on each unit voltage to carry out scheme Selection.
It selection total harmonic distortion (THD) according to required by 3-phase power converter voltage of scheme and calculates and logical Required time is believed to determine.
The present invention has lot of advantages.
As can be seen that cluster can be considered as variable voltage source, wherein Harmonics elimination occurs in cluster internal.Namely It says, modulation and cell voltage balance occur in cluster internal, so that significant simplification and benefit are possibly realized.

By using cluster concept, factory's assembly can be carried out to a greater extent.It can also be on the ground of equipment to be installed Fang Jinhang cluster assembling, to meet these requirements.Cluster can be made to be suitble to maximum suitable dimension and weight so as to transport (for example, Container).Further, it is also possible to carry out factory testing to larger device in the form of cluster and freeze, to accelerate work on the spot And debugging, and reduce a possibility that new hand fails.
It is saved and because entire cluster can be used as spare cluster due to using for cooling down and controlling signal Simple interface and be easily changed, therefore more easily control can be safeguarded and be repaired.Give simple interface, it might even be possible to set Think (hot plug) during operation automatically (passing through robot) exchange cluster.In this way it is possible to maintenance breaks are avoided, from And reduce the gap for even reversing the reliability compared with traditional electric power network technique based on AC.

Accessory power supply required by cluster can for example be derived from the condenser voltage of one or more units in unit.Its His option includes optical fiber power supply (power-over-fiber) or Microturbine in chilled(cooling) water return (CWR).
Clustered control device may only require a bi-directional communication channel.Therefore, the communication for being respectively capable of handling cluster needs Two or more slacks asked can be routed to each clustered control device along different physical pathways, without Excessive cost.Fault-tolerance can be increased in this way, to improve reliability.It is obtained in short, this is equivalent to the low of optic communication links The reliability of more cost and raising.
By implementing standard interface (cooling medium, control, electrically), the interoperability from different manufacturers may be implemented Cluster.
Another option is to be internally cooled cluster and by substitute medium than air (for example, oil, SF6 Gas or other premium insulation materials or cooling medium) and insulated.This can pave the way for more compact design.
According to other modification, cluster may include the unit with different topology and/or semiconductor technology.One example Be using 90% equipped with HV grid change transistor (GCT) half-bridge cells and 10% equipped with lower blocking voltage The combination of the full bridge unit of SiC MOSFET.In this configuration, GCT can be with fundamental frequency operation, and SiC MOSFET is with higher Frequency operation.It thus can satisfy harmonic requirement, although most of semiconductors are with fundamental frequency operation.It as a result will be to realize HV Semiconductor use and reduce overall semiconductor loss.
In addition, cluster can be connected in parallel with thyristor switch.It is other to bypass to may then pass through thyristor switch The cluster on road, i.e., wherein all units will provide the cluster that the no-voltage of waveform is contributed.This has the conduction reduced in current transformer The advantages of loss.
Half-bridge cells are assumed in the above description.But it can also use full bridge unit.
As described above, control structure can be realized in the form of discrete assembly.However, it can also with one or more at The form for managing device is realized, wherein adjoint program storage includes the meter of control function needed for executing when running on a processor Calculation machine program code.The computer program product for carrying this code can be provided as data medium, such as carrying computer One or more CD ROM disks of program code or one or more memory sticks, hold when being loaded into wave analyzer The above-mentioned wave analyzer function of row.Carry such data medium of 38 form of CD ROM disk of computer program code 40 As shown in Figure 10.
