Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application, generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, presented in the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present application without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further defined or explained in subsequent figures.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a dc circuit breaker 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the dc circuit breaker 100 includes a commutating branch 110, an energy absorbing branch 120, and a plurality of current branches 130. The plurality of current branches 130 are connected in parallel, and each current branch 130 includes a terminal electrically connected to a power supply line in the power system to transmit current.
The commutation branch 110 and the energy absorption branch 120 are both connected in parallel with a plurality of current branches 130, wherein the commutation branch 110 is used for transferring the current in the current branches 130 to reach a zero crossing point; the energy absorption branch 120 is used to limit the voltage across the dc circuit breaker 100.
Each current branch 130 includes an upper bridge arm 131 and a lower bridge arm 132 connected in series, a terminal of each current branch 130 is located between the upper bridge arm 131 and the lower bridge arm 132, and each of the upper bridge arm 131 and the lower bridge arm 132 includes one or more mechanical switches 133 for turning on or off a circuit.
The mechanical switch 133 of the current branch 130 may be one, or a combination of a plurality of mechanical switches 133 connected in series or in parallel, and the mechanical switch 133 may be any one or a combination of a plurality of mechanical structures satisfying rapid breaking. The mechanical switch 133 further comprises an arc chute, in which the arc is a combustible arc and which is capable of extinguishing the arc at zero current crossings, such as a vacuum arc chute or SF 6 (sulfur hexafluoride) arc extinguishing chambers, etc.
The commutation branch 110 comprises a driving unit 111, a capacitor 112 and an inductor 113, wherein the driving unit 111 is connected in series with the capacitor 112 and the inductor 113. The excitation unit 111 includes a plurality of power semiconductor devices, and forms discharge loops in different directions by controlling on or off states of the plurality of power semiconductor devices to generate currents with gradually increasing amplitudes until the mechanical switch 133 in the current-passing branch 130 moves to a distance of an insulation distance, and the amplitude of the current in the commutation branch 110 is greater than that of a power supply line with a fault in the current-passing branch 130, so as to reach a zero crossing point. The arc of the mechanical switch 133 is extinguished at the zero crossing point and the commutation branch 110 is thus successful in diverting the current in the current branch 130.
Preferably, in this embodiment, the excitation unit 111 may be one excitation unit 111, or a plurality of excitation units 111 may be connected in series and parallel. For example, when the number of the excitation units 111 is 3, two of the excitation units 111 are connected in series and then connected in parallel with the third excitation unit 111 or two of the excitation units 111 are connected in parallel and then connected in series with the third excitation unit 111, of course, the three excitation units 111 may be connected in series or in parallel with each other.
With reference to fig. 1, the energy absorption branch 120 may be a lightning arrester 121, or a plurality of lightning arresters 121 may be connected in series and parallel. The connection is the same as that of the excitation unit 111, and will not be described in detail herein.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the arrester 121 is one or a combination of valve type arrester, pipe type arrester and zinc oxide arrester.
Alternatively, in this embodiment, the lightning arrester is generally mounted in three ways, the first way is that the lightning arrester is mounted across the mechanical switch, the second way is that the lightning arrester is mounted across the excitation unit and the capacitor, and the third way is that the lightning arrester is mounted across the capacitor. For the first lightning arrester assembly structure, when the fault current starts to transfer from the current conversion branch to the lightning arrester, the current needs to pass through the inductor, the capacitor and the excitation unit, and the current flowing through the resonant inductor cannot change suddenly, so that the voltage at two ends of the lightning arrester is far larger than the protection action voltage of the lightning arrester. The difference between the second and third arrester mounting configurations is whether the exciter unit is switched on or not, which determines the time during which the exciter unit conducts current.
The assembly modes of the three lightning arresters have advantages respectively, and the specific assembly scheme can be selected by the user by combining with the use working condition of the direct-current circuit breaker.
It is understood that in the drawings of the present application, the lightning arrester is assembled in the second way, namely, at two ends of the exciting unit and the capacitor, but this does not constitute a limitation to the assembling way of the lightning arrester in the embodiment of the present application, and in other embodiments of the present embodiment, other assembling methods of the lightning arrester may be adopted.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a second schematic structural diagram of a dc circuit breaker 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The excitation unit 111 includes a first connection terminal, a second connection terminal, a first power semiconductor device 1111, a second power semiconductor device 1112, a third power semiconductor device 1113, a fourth power semiconductor device 1114, and a pre-energy storage device 1115.
One end of the first power semiconductor device 1111 is electrically connected to the first connection terminal, the other end of the first power semiconductor device 1111 is electrically connected to one end of the third power semiconductor device 1113, and the other end of the third power semiconductor device 1113 is electrically connected to the second connection terminal.
One end of the second power semiconductor device 1112 is electrically connected to the first connection terminal, the other end of the second power semiconductor device 1112 is electrically connected to one end of the fourth power semiconductor device 1114, and the other end of the fourth power semiconductor device 1114 is electrically connected to the second connection terminal.
One end of the pre-energy storage device 1115 is electrically connected between the first power semiconductor device 1111 and the third power semiconductor device 1113, and the other end of the pre-energy storage device 1115 is electrically connected between the second power semiconductor device 1112 and the fourth power semiconductor device 1114.
The first connection end and the second connection end are connected in series to the commutation branch 110 to transfer the current in the through-flow branch 130.
It should be noted that the above description is only an illustration of one connection mode of each power semiconductor, and in other embodiments of the present application, each port of each power semiconductor device may also have other connection modes, and the final purpose is to form a discharge loop with a direction switching back and forth, and the connection mode of the power semiconductor is not particularly limited herein.
When the power system is working normally, current will flow through the current-carrying branch 130 of the dc circuit breaker 100, at this time, all the mechanical switches 133 in the dc circuit breaker 100 are in a closed state, each power semiconductor device and the lightning arrester 121 are in an off state, and no current flows through the current-carrying branch 110 and the energy-absorbing branch 120.
When the power system fails, the mechanical switch 133 of the upper arm 131 of the current branch 130 and the mechanical switches 133 of the lower arms 132 of the remaining current branches 130 connected to the failed power supply line receive the opening command, and each power semiconductor device in the commutation branch 110 receives the commutation command.
When the mechanical switch 133 receives the opening instruction, the opening operation is started, the moving contact of the mechanical switch 133 starts to move, and an arc is ignited between the moving contact and the fixed contact, so that the current still flows through the current branch 130 by the ignited arc.
Each power semiconductor device starts to operate according to the commutation command, and the operation is divided into two modes.
First, the second power semiconductor device 1112 and the third power semiconductor device 1113 are turned on, the first power semiconductor device 1111 and the fourth power semiconductor device 1114 are turned off, the pre-storage device 1115, the capacitor 112 and the inductor 113 form a discharge loop, and the current direction in the commutation branch 110 is as shown in fig. 3.
Second, the second power semiconductor device 1112 and the third power semiconductor device 1113 are in an off state, the first power semiconductor device 1111 and the fourth power semiconductor device 1114 are turned on, the pre-energy storage device 1115, the capacitor 112 and the inductor 113 form a discharge loop, and the current direction in the commutation branch 110 is as shown in fig. 4.
The turn-off and turn-on states of the power semiconductor devices are repeated until the mechanical switch 133 in the current-passing branch 130 moves to a position meeting the insulation open distance, and the amplitude of the current generated by the commutation branch 110 exceeds the amplitude of the fault current in the current-passing branch 130 at the moment, so that the current in the current-passing branch 130 passes zero, the arc of the mechanical switch 133 at the zero-crossing point is extinguished, and the current is successfully turned on and off.
It should be noted that the dc circuit breaker 100 can also be used to determine whether a fault in the power system is a permanent fault or a temporary fault through a reclosing operation.
If the fault occurs temporarily, the mechanical switch 133 of the upper arm 131 of the current branch 130 connected with the power supply line with the fault and the mechanical switch 133 of the lower arm 132 of the remaining current branch 130 perform reclosing operation, at this time, the fault is eliminated, the current in each power supply line is normal, and the reclosing operation is successful.
If the fault is a permanent fault, the mechanical switch 133 of the upper arm 131 of the current branch 130 connected with the faulted power supply line and the mechanical switch 133 of the lower arm 132 of the remaining current branch 130 perform reclosing operation, at this time, the fault still exists, and the current value in the power supply line exceeds the threshold value, the mechanical switch 133 receives a switching-off command, the excitation unit 111 receives a commutation command, and each power semiconductor device is repeatedly switched on or switched off. The voltage of the capacitor 112 in the commutation branch 110 gradually increases, and the voltage of the arrester 121 in the energy absorption branch 120 connected in parallel therewith increases until the voltage is greater than the operating voltage of the arrester 121, so that the arrester 121 starts to absorb the inductive energy in the power system, and the mechanical switch 133 of the commutation branch 130 is protected to prevent breakdown. At the same time the current of the supply line gradually decreases until the current crosses zero and the mechanical switch 133 is switched off again.

In step S730, if the voltage exceeds the predetermined value, it is determined that the power supply line is faulty, and a switching-off command is sent to the mechanical switch 133 and a commutation command is sent to the excitation unit 111.
In this step, after determining that the power supply line has a fault, the controller sends a switching-off command to the mechanical switch 133 of the upper arm 131 of the current branch 130 and the mechanical switches 133 of the lower arms 132 of the remaining current branches 130, which are connected to the faulty power supply line, so that the mechanical switches 133 perform a switching-off operation. After each power semiconductor device in the excitation unit 111 receives the commutation command, each power semiconductor device is turned on or off according to the command to form a discharge loop with different directions, and the current in the current branch 130 is transferred until the current in the current branch 130 crosses zero, the arc of the mechanical switch 133 is extinguished, and the current is successfully turned on or off.
