Specific embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawing and specific embodiment come the present invention will be described in detail, specific embodiment therein and explanation only For explaining the present invention, but it is not as a limitation of the invention.
Embodiment
A kind of pulse power AC aging test platform, as shown in Figure 1, mainly including following part:
Main circuit: full-bridge inverter main circuit and IGBT module driving circuit.In view of load is close to pure inductive load, Therefore consider DC voltage input survey be incorporated to buffering capacitor array it is idle to provide.
Measuring circuit: including IGBT module saturation voltage drop measuring circuit and IGBT module crust thermal resistance measurement circuit;
Protect circuit: soft breaking circuit, system overvoltage relaying configuration after IGBT over-current detection circuit, failure;
Signal conditioning circuit: IGBT module shell temperature extracts circuit, saturation voltage drop and thermal resistance information-processing circuit;
Using DSP as the control of the field digital of core, coordination and information processing embedded system;
Host computer: the host computer procedure developed with MATLAB or LabView.
Wherein, the measurement scheme of IGBT module saturation voltage drop and crust thermal resistance is as follows:
Saturation voltage drop measurement scheme: using can isolated DC bus high pressure measuring circuit, when corresponding IGBT shutdown, current collection The high pressure of pole will be blocked by diode, protect the chips such as rear class amplifier and AD.
Crust steady state heat resistance measurement scheme: in view of the actual motion mode of test platform, the thermal resistance measurement scheme that crusts will According to thermal resistance definitionJunction temperature is acquired when reaching hot stable state to device and shell temperature is calculated.
Test platform overall work state is as shown in Fig. 2, main circuit would operate in (intermittent duty under the mode of pulse power Mode): main circuit will be in 0-t1Shi Jinhang inversion, in t1-t2When intermittent cooling, 0-t1-t2For one cycle, n × 18 circulation For a complete digestion period.
Using pulse power inverter platform as research object, it is based on H bridge inversion topological structure, uses exchange aging method pair Degradation platform is designed.The AC aging test of IGBT belongs to power cycle aging, enables to IGBT module with one The fixed period realizes the circular wave of device layers temperature.In general exchange aging, IGBT module is in the left side 5kHz to 20kHz Right switch state, the switching loss and conduction loss of device rise its junction temperature, shell temperature.It exchanges under aging, flows through device Heated current is AC load electric current, and power supply becomes constant pressure source (for voltage source inverter) from constant current heating source, so handing over Stream aging, which has also contemplated bus high pressure, influences the aging of device.
It is bad to the unnecessary interference of module ageing results generation in view of flowing, it will be without using more IGBT module redundancies simultaneously The strategy of connection, this simplification have no influence to the ageing research of device level.In addition, the basic module of cascade connection multi-level topology is The tri-level circuit of diode clamp, every group of module electric heating stress are also similar.In view of more really reflecting operating condition, two can be used The tri-level circuit of pole pipe clamper builds aging platform.But there is a problem of so inevitable:
As shown in figure 3, being i to reach peak valueac_peakThe output electric current of=80A, calculate DC bus-bar voltage should be Udclink=844V, variable voltage variable frequency output voltage peak maximum are Uo_peakmax=628V.Investigation discovery, DC power supply single machine electricity Pressure output valve is generally 450V or hereinafter, and purchase cost that power supply connects in series and parallel is excessively high.In the case where platform not drop volume, Three-level topology can not be selected to exchange aging.
To control appropriation budget, full-bridge topologies is selected to reduce particular power source buying expenses.As shown in figure 4, main electricity Road uses H bridge topological structure, and to reach same output electric current, busbar voltage and load voltage are original half, respectively For Udclink=422V, Uacpeakmax=314V, capacity are also original half, about 12.5kVA.In the structure of full-bridge topology Under, exchange aging platform is simulation actual condition, is slightly distinguished on control strategy with ordinary inverter, the main distinction is embodied in On output voltage amplitude and output frequency variation.
In addition, exchange aging can more reflect the true ager process of device.But under exchange aging, device works in high frequency Switch state, aging characteristics On-line testing are worldwide still a problem.For special intermittent work Inverter operating condition can carry out offline feature measurement to avoid conventional AC aging characteristics and be difficult to the problem of extracting, finally Determine the selected scheme using exchange aging.
The ageing failure of IGBT device can be interpreted as in During Process of Long-term Operation from the angle of material science, since performance declines Caused inevitable outcome is moved back, is the angle from the physics of failure, realizes IGBT device reliability degradation assessment or analysis IGBT device The basis of operation risk.Since the main reason for IGBT performance degradation is the variation of physical structure, it is difficult to it detects by an unaided eye, therefore one As to the status monitoring of IGBT be all by measure IGBT electrical characteristics, thermal characteristics carry out indirectly.These characteristics are IGBT a bit Static parameter, the main saturation voltage drop including IGBT, crust thermal resistance, threshold voltage etc., also some are the dynamic parameters of IGBT, For example it opens, the turn-off time, Miller platform voltage etc..These characteristics can occur respectively with the degeneration of IGBT each section physical structure More apparent variation, these variations are able to reflect the health status of IGBT.
Stress suffered by IGBT for this platform and actual platform is mainly to tie greatly caused by the temperature rise effect of low-frequency current Temperature fluctuation and high average junction temperature, studies have shown that big junction temperature fluctuation and high average junction temperature mainly affect bonding line and the weldering of IGBT The bed of material.And saturation voltage drop and crust thermal resistance can preferably reflect the health status of both materials, therefore this platform is the two Parameter is set as characteristic quantity to be measured.
The basic circuit topological structure of test platform is as shown in figure 4, be a H bridge inverter structure.On this basis, platform The IGBT module of two IGBT encapsulation is added in main circuit at bus capacitor and at bus.Its upper tube referred to as " open by bus capacitor Close ", down tube is known as " bus-tie circuit breaker ".When upper tube is opened, bus capacitor is allowed to discharge, conversely, then bus capacitor does not discharge, but by In the presence of anti-paralleled diode, still allow DC power supply to capacitor charging at this time;When down tube is opened, allow DC power supply or mother Line capacitance provides electric energy to main circuit, conversely, then powering off the connection of source and main circuit by diode resistance.
Design one is used for the small-sized IGBT degradation platform of laboratory environment, when design, makes aging platform as far as possible Operating condition close to truth, but due to the reduction of capacity, the difference of load characteristic, topology and modulator approach have differences etc. because Element, AC aging test working platform characteristic can not be completely the same with actual conditions.In order to make the conclusion of degradation platform more It is significant, it is considered as under two different operating conditions, the service life of IGBT whether there is biggish difference.
Fatigue refers to that certain point or certain points bear Disturbance stress, and forms crackle after enough circulation perturbation actions Or the part occurred in the material being broken completely, permanent structure variation development process.The fracture of material structure, it is meant that The termination of its fatigue process, and the number of time experienced or circulation disturbance during this, referred to as " service life " of the structure.
Fatigue damage (fatigue rupture) refers to that damage occurs for structure or component and long-term accumulated causes structural material to split Line, and make crack propagation, until fracture completely.The load for the repetition variation for causing fatigue rupture to occur is called fatigue load.Make Usually constantly changed at any time with the size and Orientation of the load in structure, is generally being retouched using stress or Cyclic Strain It states, the stress generated by load or the primary load and unloading that strain on component are denoted as primary stress circulation.
For IGBT module, " load " can be understood as device junction temperature, and " stress " is then material shape caused by load Varying stress.
For nine level of comparison, the stress of two level circuits, nine level, two Level Full Bridge inverter circuits are built in PLECS, Topological structure difference is as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6.Nine level circuit parameters are Udcmax=1688V, Uacmax=1256V, Iacmax= 80A, fmax=85Hz, Smax=12.5kVA;Since there are four IGBT to bear busbar voltage simultaneously for nine level, and two level are only There is an IGBT to bear busbar voltage, so the voltage stress that nine level can be born is four times of two level.Therefore, two level Circuit parameter be Udcmax=1688/4=422V, Uacmax=1256/4=314V, Iacmax=80A, fmax=85Hz, Smax= 12.5kVA。
The electrothermic model of nine, two-level inversion circuit are built in PLECS, operating condition is operation 2.8s, stops 0.7s, circulation 36 times, IGBT initial temperature is 40 DEG C.
After putting up entire nine level and two-level inversion circuit, electroanalysis is carried out to IGBT, i.e., IGBT is being transported Loss analysis is carried out in row.Under nine level, by analysis, the down tube IGBT (i.e. IGBT6) of upper right bridge arm is lost maximum.Two Under level, by analysis, the upper tube IGBT (i.e. IGBT1) of left bridge arm is lost maximum.The loss waveform class of three level and two level Seemingly, all it is that low-frequency range is larger to the integrated value (i.e. energy) of time, is affected to junction temperature, nine level are in 148W, two level In 154W, and for highest loss value difference 15W or so.Nine level and the IGBT differential loss under two level topologys are little.
After establishing IGBT ther mal network model, respectively under nine level and two level, IGBT is obtained after circulation 18 times Junction temperature waveform.Nine level IGBT6 maximum junction temperatures are 101 DEG C, and two level IGBT1 maximum junction temperatures are 104 DEG C, are subsequent life appraisal Foundation is provided.It ensure that IGBT junction temperature after circulation 18 is no more than 120 DEG C.
The full-bridge topology of nine level H-bridge of cascade connection type He AC aging test platform of the present invention is emulated in PLECS To obtain the variations injunction temperature situation of IGBT pipe in it.Junction temperature circulation is counted respectively with rain flow method in MATLAB Number.
Linear cumulative damage law thinks that the fatigue damage under various stress levels independently carries out, and damage can be linear It adds up, when cumulative fatigue damage reaches certain numerical value, fatigue rupture just occurs for structure.For IGBT module, Miner Theory thinks, individually calculates fatigue damage amount to each junction temperature fluctuation of random load spectrum and average junction temperature Cyclic Stress And by its linear superposition, when amount of damage accumulation is greater than 1, it is believed that fatigue damage occurs for device.
LESIT analytic modell analytical model based on the IGBT service life calculates fatigue damage amount, defines the fatigue damage of certain any load Amount is Di
Wherein, NiIt is counted for the cycle-index of certain load, NfFor the failure cycle-index under this kind of load, present invention spy Refer to the failure cycle-index calculated by LESIT service life analytic modell analytical model (formula 2).
Damage is counted with rain flow method in MATLAB, all impair linearities are added up, is asked after inverse i.e. IGMT service life, the IGBT life span comparison results of AC aging test platform and nine electrical level inverters provided by the present invention can be obtained As shown in table 1.

Found from table 1, the two service life gap is little, illustrate even if two kinds of inverters there are many parameter it is inconsistent, but AC aging test platform provided by the present invention still is able to preferably simulate actual condition, can be to the longevity of nine electrical level inverters Life provides certain reference.
As shown in fig. 7, IGBT saturation voltage drop measuring circuit using can isolated DC bus high pressure measuring circuit, it is corresponding When IGBT is turned off, the high pressure of collector will be reversed diode blocking, protect the chips such as rear class amplifier and AD.
The IGBT device saturation voltage drop measuring device working principle of one bridge arm is as follows:
(a) when IGBT is turned off, high voltage fast recovery diode reversely ends, and isolated DC bus bar side voltage protection Vce is adopted Collector;
(b) when IGBT is connected, amplifier output voltage are as follows:Using 14 high-precision bipolarity A/D chips AD7367 sampling then passes through DSP reading, completes the measurement to IGBT saturation voltage drop.
It is also related with junction temperature in view of IGBT saturation voltage drop is not only related with ageing state, therefore it is necessary to be saturated in measurement When pressure drop, keep each junction temperature identical.According to measurement timing, when device is heated, pressure drop between test constantly CE, Intermittent interruption heated current simultaneously injects low current to measure junction temperature.Therefore, the pressure drop between the CE of test constantly includes two kinds, One is aging characteristics saturation voltage drop Vce(sat), one is the low current pressure drops for extracting junction temperature information.When junction temperature reaches When setting value (this test platform is 60 DEG C), the aging characteristics that the saturation voltage drop of last time measurement is measured as this are transferred.So After continue heating to measure crust thermal resistance.
The measurement accuracy of IGBT saturation voltage drop depends primarily on the installation scenarios of ADC precision and measuring device pcb board, passes through Debugging, it is contemplated that IGBT saturation voltage drop measurement error be less than ± 10% (with oscillograph reading be reference).
IGBT module crusts, and and then saturation voltage drop measurement carries out thermal resistance measurement.The measurement scheme of IGBT module crust thermal resistance Are as follows: first, in accordance with Fig. 8 control strategy to IGBT module and it is heat sink heat, in the process with measurement saturation voltage drop it is similar Continuous measurement module junction temperature and shell temperature, and as formula 3 calculate history shell temperature standard deviation.
When standard deviation is less than KTCcritWhen think that system enters hot stable state.Into the IGBT module after hot stable state, heat sink and ring Border constitutes ther mal network as shown in Figure 9.Acquire V at this timeceWith heated current IhCalculate heating power PH=Vce×IH, according to thermal resistance Definition 4 calculates IGBT module crust thermal resistance Rth_JC.Wherein junction temperature TjWith shell temperature TcIt is obtained by measuring circuit measurement.
IGBT module crusts thermal resistance measurement precision in addition to depending on measuring circuit design, also will primarily depend upon heat-conducting silicone grease Smear situation, the selection of shell temperature acquisition reference point and accurate calculating of heating power etc..Expected crust thermal resistance theory is surveyed ± 10% will be not higher than by measuring error.
For the safe and reliable operation for guaranteeing this test platform, guarantee do not occur showing for transient state failure in IGBT ageing process As configuring reasonable defencive function, being broadly divided into following two levels.
System-level protection.System-level protection main purpose be prevent system overvoltage run caused by bus capacitor damage, The problems such as IGBT over-voltage breakdown or insulation breakdown.In view of system capacity source is DC side DC power supply and bus connected in parallel Capacitor, so OVP (overvoltage protection) threshold value of reasonable disposition DC side DC power supply carries out overvoltage protection to whole system, When over-voltage phenomenon occurs for system, electric power output voltage will be locked into protection threshold value, to protect system integrally without damage.
The protection of IGBT module grade.The transient state failure of IGBT module is generally the excessive caused junction temperature of electric current beyond safe operation Caused by range, so the protection for IGBT module grade mainly considers overcurrent protection.It mainly solves the problems, such as it is inversion The shoot through situation of bridge arm, main there are two implementations:
(1) bus current (on rear side of capacitor) is monitored, soft/hard shutdown is carried out to IGBT when finding short circuit current.Detection is female There are many modes of line current: current Hall, Rogowski coil, the schemes such as sampling resistor.But find in actual use, After system integration design, current Hall can not be mounted in stack bus bar because its volume is larger, the same one because of system Change design, the method for external sampling resistor also cannot achieve;Although Rogowski coil can be fixed among busbar, because of its electric current There are problems for detection accuracy, it is contemplated that guarantees the reliability of platform, therefore does not also select Rogowski coil.So monitoring can not be passed through Bus current is protected.
(2) IGBT saturation voltage drop is monitored.When shoot through occurs for full-bridge circuit, IGBT electric current is increased rapidly, the both ends CE Pressure drop also increase, IGBT exits saturation region and enters linear zone, therefore the overcurrent protection for monitoring saturation voltage drop is also referred to as IGBT Move back saturation protection.This test platform uses the driving for falling the wooden source TX-Da962D model, passes through hardware configuration IGBT tube voltage drop Protection threshold value is that 8.5V turns off the IGBT of entire platform, and system firmly when detecting that IGBT tube voltage drop is greater than 8.5V It will not restart again and (T is arranged by softwarerst=+∞), to avoid interfering caused protection false triggering, protection act will Pass through hardware setting blind area time tblind=3 μ s,.In addition, the alarm signal will be sent to DSP and host computer, after being carried out by DSP Continuous processing (such as the shutdown of main switch, power supply stop the behaviors such as output) is simultaneously alarmed by host computer.Its timing diagram such as 10 It is shown.Design parameter configuration method, which can refer to, falls the wooden source TX-Da962D product manual.
The major function design cycle of host computer is as shown in figure 11.In platform all devices and device by DSP/SCI, SPI carries out field digital control, and information is sent to PC host computer by RS232/485, and upper computer software uses MATLAB/ GUI is developed.Host computer mainly realizes following functions: (1) administrator's login system;(2) power parameter is arranged;(3) platform Control and ager process monitoring;(4) aging characteristics are stored and are checked;(5) platform initialization.
(1) administrator's login system
To guarantee that platform information is not leaked, administrator's login interface is devised, only when username and password is correct It just can enter system.
(2) power parameter is arranged
Host computer is communicated by serial ports with slave computer DSP, and the power parameter being arranged will be needed to be sent to DSP;DSP passes through string The power parameter received is sent to power supply and realizes power parameter setting by mouth and power source communications.
(3) platform courses and ager process monitoring
Host computer is opened by serial ports transmission platform, stops order, and DSP orders corresponding control platform to open, stop based on the received.In In platform operational process, the junction temperature of acquisition, shell temperature data are sent to host computer, host computer real-time display junction temperature shell Wen Bo by DSP Shape;In addition, the alarm if platform breaks down, platform shutdown is immediately controlled in DSP, and warning message is sent to host computer, upper Machine carries out corresponding warning message and shows (the excessively high warning of temperature or overcurrent warning).
The aging number of IGBT module is counted by a variable count, and an aging terminates, and count value adds 1 and is shown in On interface;It is saved in addition, count value is written in Excel file in real time, correctly to show mould when starting platform next time The aging number of block.
The operation phase of platform indicates that host computer sends platform aged commands, stage_ by variable stage_flag Flag is 1, and instruction platform is in the ageing step;Host computer sends platform measuring order, and stage_flag 2 is indicated at platform In measuring phases.When platform is shut down, the value of stage_flag is stored in Excel, to refer to when starting platform next time Show that platform enters ageing step or measuring phases.When measuring phases terminate, this aging characteristics measured is sent to by DSP Host computer, host computer carry out the display of corresponding aging characteristics with storage.
(4) aging characteristics are stored and are checked
