All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In this application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
The invention provides a parallel system of power converters to achieve effective disconnection between parallel devices in the event of a fault.
As shown in fig. 1, the power converter parallel system includes at least two power converters, two of which are shown in fig. 1 as an example; each power converter has a parallel point at least on the direct current side, and the other side of each power converter can be independent (as shown in fig. 1) or have another corresponding parallel point; the power converter can be a DCDC converter, a DCAC converter or a series structure of the DCDC converter and the DCAC converter, and the power converter is determined according to the specific application environment and is within the protection scope of the application; fig. 1 shows an example of a DCAC converter, which is suitable for a scenario where energy storage converters in an energy storage system are connected in parallel on multiple dc sides or in parallel between ac and dc. In addition, two sides of each power converter may be directly connected in parallel, or may be connected in parallel through corresponding other devices, for example, the dc side of each power converter may be connected in parallel after the protection circuit 100 and the decoupling device are disconnected by the following converter, and the other side of each power converter may be connected in parallel through a corresponding transformer, depending on the specific application environment, which is within the protection scope of the present application.
Moreover, a converter disconnection protection circuit 100 is respectively arranged between the direct current side of each power converter and the corresponding parallel point of the direct current side; that is, the dc side of each power converter is connected to the parallel point of the dc side by its converter disconnection protection circuit 100; the direct current power supply connected with the parallel point of the direct current side can be a battery system or a photovoltaic array, and the direct current power supply is determined according to the specific application environment and is within the protection range of the application. Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 includes: a fuse device 101 and an electronic switch 102 connected in series. Wherein:
when an overcurrent fault occurs in a device or line on one side of any converter disconnection protection circuit 100 connected with a corresponding power converter, for example, when a short-circuit fault or an overcurrent fault occurs in the corresponding power converter, or when a short-circuit fault occurs between the positive pole and the negative pole of any section of line on the direct current side of the corresponding power converter, the fuse device 101 in the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 is in a disconnected state, and the other converter disconnection protection circuits 100 are in a disconnected state by the electronic switches 102 in the converter disconnection protection circuits, so that the function of disconnecting the direct current side of each power converter from the corresponding parallel point is realized.
Taking two DCAC converters respectively connected in parallel at two sides as an example, fig. 3 shows the case when an equipment or line overcurrent fault occurs at the converter side where the first converter opens the protection circuit 100, the dotted line frame indicates the position of the fault, and each dotted line with an arrow indicates the current direction on the corresponding line in this case.
At this time, the dc power supply will disconnect the protection circuit 100 through the converter connected to the dc side of the first DCAC converter, outputting a current to the fault location; the second DCAC converter also outputs a current to the fault location by disconnecting the protection circuit 100 from the converter connected to the second DCAC converter, the parallel point on the dc side, and the other converter disconnecting the protection circuit 100; the current on the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 connected to the direct current side of the first DCAC converter is increased, and when the current exceeds the bearing capacity of the internal fuse device 101, the fuse device 101 fuses, so that the current path of the fault position is cut off, the overcurrent damage of corresponding devices in the first DCAC converter is avoided, and the protection of the first DCAC converter is realized. In addition, at this time, the directions of the direct-current side currents of the two DCAC converters are opposite, and even when the direct-current power supply is a battery system and the battery system is charging, the direct-current side current of the second DCAC converter is larger than the charging current in a normal state, so that the converter connected to the second DCAC converter can be controlled to disconnect the electronic switch 102 in the protection circuit 100, and the connection between the two sides is disconnected, thereby realizing the protection of the second DCAC converter. In addition, the two converters disconnect the protection circuit 100, so that the right side of the parallel point on the direct current side is not connected, and the influence of the short-circuit fault on the direct current power supply is avoided.
As can be seen from the above, the parallel power converter system provided in this embodiment can not only quickly disconnect a failed power converter, but also remove all other power converter pre-stages and dc power supplies to protect each power converter and dc power supply when a device or line fault occurs on the converter side of any converter disconnection protection circuit, such as a power converter failure. When the power converter parallel system is applied to an energy storage system, the battery system and each energy storage converter can be protected.
In addition, when an equipment or line overcurrent fault occurs on one side of at least one converter disconnection protection circuit 100 connected to a corresponding parallel point, for example, a short-circuit fault occurs on the parallel point, or a short-circuit fault occurs on a power supply connected to the parallel point, or a short-circuit fault occurs between a positive electrode and a negative electrode of a line on the power supply side of any converter disconnection protection circuit 100, at this time, the electronic switch 102 in each converter disconnection protection circuit 100 is in a disconnected state.
Still taking two DCAC converters with two sides respectively connected in parallel as an example, fig. 4 shows a situation when a short-circuit fault occurs at a parallel point on the dc sides of the two DCAC converters, a dashed box indicates a position where the short-circuit fault occurs, and each dashed line with an arrow indicates a current direction on a corresponding line in this situation.
At this time, both the DCAC converters output current to the parallel point on the dc side, and if the dc power source connected to the parallel point is a photovoltaic array or the dc power source is a battery system and the battery system is discharging, the direction of the current on the dc side of both the DCAC converters is opposite to the normal state, so that the electronic switches 102 in the protection circuit 100 can be controlled to be turned off to disconnect the connection of both sides of the converter, thereby protecting both the DCAC converters and the dc power source. If the dc power source connected to the parallel point is a battery system and the battery system is charging, although the direction of the dc side currents of the two DCAC converters is the same as the normal condition, because the parallel point has a short-circuit fault, both currents are greater than the currents in the normal condition, so the two converters can be controlled to disconnect the electronic switches 102 in the protection circuit 100 to disconnect the connections of the two sides thereof, thereby implementing corresponding protection.
On the basis of the above embodiment, it should be noted that, in practical applications, the detection of the dc side current of each power converter can be realized by using the original current detection device on the dc side of each power converter, and the detection is matched with the control of each electronic switch 102; however, when each power converter does not originally have a current detection device on the dc side, a current detection device 103 (as shown in fig. 5) may be additionally disposed in the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 to detect the dc side current of the corresponding power converter; and, when the current on the dc side of the corresponding power converter flows to the corresponding parallel point and is greater than the preset value, the corresponding electronic switch 102 is controlled to be in the off state.
For the cases shown in fig. 2 to 4, it can be assumed that a larger value of the dc-side current from right to left is the preset value, and then:
when the direct current power supply is a photovoltaic array, the direct current side current under the normal condition is from left to right; once the detected direct-current side current flows from right to left, that is, an equipment or line overcurrent fault occurs on the power supply side of any converter disconnection protection circuit 100 or the converter sides of other converters except the converter disconnection protection circuit 100, and the current value of the equipment or line overcurrent fault is greater than the preset value, the corresponding electronic switch 102 can be controlled to be switched off.
When the dc power supply is a battery system, the situation during discharging is similar to that of the photovoltaic array, and is not described again.
When the dc power supply is a battery system, and during charging, the current on the dc side under normal conditions also flows from right to left, but is less than or equal to the preset value, and when an overcurrent fault occurs on the power supply side of any converter disconnecting protection circuit 100 or the converter sides of other converters except the converter disconnecting protection circuit 100, the current on the dc side is greater than the preset value, so as to control the corresponding electronic switch 102 to be disconnected.
On the basis of the above embodiment, preferably, as shown in fig. 5, the electronic switch 102 may be: a switching tube T1 with a body diode or an anti-parallel diode, such as a MOS tube; and the body diode or the anti-parallel diode is used for transmitting the electric energy at the corresponding parallel point to the direct current side of the corresponding power converter.
Still taking two DCAC converters respectively connected in parallel at two sides as an example, fig. 7a shows a case when a short-circuit fault occurs in a first DCAC converter, fig. 8a shows a case when a short-circuit fault occurs in a parallel connection point on a direct current side of the two DCAC converters, a position where the short-circuit fault occurs is indicated in a dashed box, and each segment of dashed line with an arrow indicates a current direction on a corresponding line in the case.
If the dc power supply is a photovoltaic array, under normal conditions, each switching tube T1 is in a normally-on state, and the dc power supply outputs electric energy through each switching tube T1 body or each switching tube T1 and its reverse parallel diode, or certainly through each switching tube T1 body. If the direct-current power supply is a battery system, the battery system can always switch the charging and discharging modes, so that each switching tube T1 can be controlled to be in a normally-on state, and the control logic is simple and easy to implement; that is, normally, each switch tube T1 is also in a normally-on state, and the dc power source discharges through the body of each switch tube T1 or each switch tube T1 and its reverse parallel diode, or the dc power source charges through each switch tube T1.
When the short-circuit fault condition shown in fig. 7a occurs, the fuse 101 in the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 connected to the dc side of the first DCAC converter blows, the switching tube T1 in the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 connected to the second DCAC converter switches to the off state, and the body diode or the anti-parallel diode thereof is turned on only in the forward direction and turned off in the reverse direction, so that the disconnection function of the electronic switch 102 can be realized. When the short-circuit fault condition shown in fig. 8a occurs, the switching tubes T1 in the two DCAC converters are both switched to the off state, and the body diodes or the anti-parallel diodes thereof are turned off in the opposite direction, so that the turn-off function of the corresponding electronic switches 102 can be realized.
In this embodiment, the bidirectional conduction function and the overcurrent protection function of the electronic switch 102 are realized through the switching tube T1 and the body diode or the anti-parallel diode thereof, and the electronic switch has a simple structure, low loss and a small volume.
Additionally, the blowing device 101 may be a FUSE, as shown in FIGS. 5-8 b; when the dc power supply also has a FUSE therein, such as a battery system, the fusing speed of the FUSE needs to be faster than the fusing speed of the FUSE in the battery system, so as to ensure that the FUSE can be operated before the FUSE in the battery system is fused, thereby protecting the battery system.
On the basis of the above embodiments, the positions of the fusing device 101 and the electronic switch 102 in the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 can be arbitrarily selected, and can be one at the positive pole, one at the negative pole, or both at the positive pole and the negative pole, and the front and back order is not limited at the same time, and can be determined according to the specific application environment, as long as the above functions can be realized; more preferably, however, both are arranged on the same pole with the fuse 101 near the parallel point and the electronic switch 102 near the power converter; for example, one end of the fusing device 101, which is far away from the electronic switch 102, is used for connecting the positive poles of the corresponding parallel points; and the electronic switch 102 is located at an end away from the fuse 101, and is used for connecting the dc side positive electrode of the power converter connected thereto. That is, as shown in fig. 2 to 5, the corresponding power converter is connected from the positive pole of the parallel point on the dc side, first through the fuse 101, and then through the electronic switch 102.
At this time, referring to fig. 6 (which is illustrated on the basis of fig. 5 as an example), the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 further includes: a freewheel device 104; the input end of the follow current device 104 is connected with the negative pole of the direct current side of the corresponding power converter, and the output end of the follow current device 104 is connected with the connection point of the fusing device 101 and the electronic switch 102.
In practice, the freewheeling device 104 may be a diode, such as D1 shown in fig. 6. The anode of the diode D1 serves as the input of the corresponding freewheel 104, and the cathode of the diode D1 serves as the output of the corresponding freewheel 104.
Still taking two DCAC converters with two sides respectively connected in parallel as an example, for the case of short-circuit fault of the first DCAC converter shown in fig. 7a, when the fuse 101 in the first converter disconnection protection circuit 100 is fused and the electronic switch 102 in the second converter disconnection protection circuit 100 is disconnected, due to the existence of the freewheeling device 104, the current freewheeling path in the first converter disconnection protection circuit 100 is: electronic switch 102, the dc side of the power converter and diode D1, the current freewheel path in the second converter open protection circuit 100 is: the fuse 101, corresponding shunt point and diode D1, the free-wheeling path in the two converter open protection circuit 100 is shown by the dotted line with arrows in fig. 7b, thereby reducing the stress on the switch T1 in the second converter open protection circuit 100.
In the case of a short-circuit fault at the parallel connection point on the dc side of the two DCAC converters shown in fig. 8a, after the two electronic switches 102 are both turned off, the current freewheeling paths in the two converter turn-off protection circuits 100 are both: the fuse device 101, the corresponding parallel connection point and the diode D1, as shown by the dotted line with an arrow in fig. 7b, reduce the stress on the two switching tubes T1.
It should be noted that, because the stray inductance of the external connection of the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 cannot be confirmed, for example, in a system in which the dc sides of a plurality of power converters are connected in parallel, especially in a scenario in which energy storage converters in an energy storage system are connected in parallel in multiple alternating currents and direct currents, the dc side of each power converter is usually provided with a decoupling device (as shown in fig. 6) to achieve decoupling of the dc side; this situation increases the line noise and increases the stress when the switching device (e.g., the electronic switch 102) in the converter open protection circuit 100 is turned off. If the extra absorbing device is added to absorb the energy when the bidirectional switch is turned off, the absorbing device usually needs to be composed of a voltage dependent resistor, a discharge tube and other devices, so that the cost is high and the reliability is low. The converter disconnection protection circuit 100 provided in this embodiment utilizes the freewheeling diode D1 to reduce the stress of the switching transistor T1, thereby achieving low cost and high reliability.
That is, when the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 is applied to a scene in which multiple sets of energy storage converters in an energy storage system are connected in parallel on the direct current side or in parallel on the alternating current side and the direct current side, the energy storage converters can be quickly disconnected when the battery side and the energy storage converters are short-circuited, and the system reliability is improved; moreover, by adding the follow current loop, the turn-off stress of the electronic switch is small, the loss of the electronic switch arranged in a unidirectional mode is small, and the efficiency of the whole machine is improved; in addition, each energy storage converter can be additionally provided with a decoupling device, so that the decoupling of the direct parallel machine is realized.
In practical applications, an end of the fuse device 101 away from the electronic switch 102 may be configured to connect to the negative electrode of the corresponding parallel point, and an end of the electronic switch 102 away from the fuse device 101 may be configured to connect to the negative electrode of the dc side of the power converter connected thereto. At this time, the input end of the freewheeling device 104 is connected to the connection point of the fuse 101 and the electronic switch 102, and the output end of the freewheeling device 104 is connected to the dc side anode of the corresponding power converter.
In addition, a corresponding current limiting resistor can be arranged in the freewheeling device 104 for the diode D1 to protect the diode D1; in the flywheel device 104, a current limiting resistor may be connected in series with the diode D1, and the connection order is not limited.
In addition, for each of the above embodiments, in practical applications, the parallel connection point of each power converter on the dc side may be connected to the photovoltaic array, and in this case, the power converter parallel system is applied to a photovoltaic power generation system, and each power converter may be a unidirectional converter. The parallel connection point of each power converter on the direct current side can also be connected with a battery system, in this case, each power converter needs to be a bidirectional converter, and the fusing speed of the fusing device 101 in the converter disconnection protection circuit 100 is greater than the fusing speed of a fuse in the battery system.
