Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.
In this application, relational terms such as first and second, and the like are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Also, 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 one … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
In order to avoid misjudgment in the process of carrying out adhesion fault detection on a contactor at one side of a direct current conversion system when the voltage at the other side is equal to zero, the application provides a main switch short circuit detection method of the power conversion system, which is suitable for the power conversion system with a power supply connected to a first side and a direct current side at a second side.
Wherein the power conversion system comprises two sides, respectively denoted as a first side and a second side; optionally, the first side of the power conversion system may be a dc side, where the power conversion system is a dc conversion system and the power converter in the power conversion system is a dc converter; the first side of the power conversion system may also be an ac side, where the power conversion system is an ACDC conversion system and the power converter is an ACDC converter; in practical applications, including but not limited to, the present application is not limited to, and can be applied to the protection scope of the present application as the case may be.
If the first side of the power conversion system is a direct current side, namely the power conversion system is a direct current conversion system, in the power conversion system, a first side bus capacitor is connected between two poles of the first side of the power converter; the second side bus capacitor is connected between two poles of the second side of the power converter; the first side main switch may be provided in: the positive electrode of the first side of the power converter is connected with the positive electrode of the first side of the power conversion system, or the negative electrode of the first side of the power converter is connected with the negative electrode of the first side of the power conversion system; the second side main switch is arranged on: the positive electrode of the second side of the power converter and the positive electrode of the second side of the power conversion system, or the negative electrode of the second side of the power converter and the negative electrode of the second side of the power conversion system.
The specific flow of the main switch short circuit detection method of the rate conversion system is shown in fig. 1, and specifically comprises the following steps:
s110, judging whether all the first side main switches in the power conversion system have no short circuit fault.
If all the first side main switches have no short circuit fault, sequentially executing the steps S120 and S130; and stopping executing the main switch short circuit detection method of the power conversion system if at least one first side main switch has short circuit fault.
Optionally, the first side main switch may be a mechanical switch such as a contactor or a circuit breaker, or may be an electronic switch such as a MOS transistor or an IGBT, which is not specifically limited herein, and may be within the protection scope of the present application as the case may be.
It should be noted that when the power conversion system is a dc conversion system, the first side main switch may be a mechanical switch or an electronic switch; when the power conversion system is an ACDC conversion system, the first side main switch may be only a mechanical switch.
In practical application, if the first side main switch is a mechanical switch, the short-circuit fault of the first side main switch is usually caused by adhesion of contacts in the mechanical switch; if the first side main switch is an electronic switch, a short-circuit fault of the first side main switch is usually caused by the damage of a PN junction in the electronic switch.
S120, charging a second side bus capacitor in the power conversion system by using a first side voltage of the power conversion system and a power converter in the power conversion system.
In practical application, the specific implementation manner of step S120 is as follows: all the first side main switches are closed, and the power converter is controlled to perform power conversion, namely, the first side voltage is converted into corresponding voltage through the power conversion, and the second side bus capacitor is charged; specifically, when the power conversion system is a dc conversion system, that is, when the power converter is a dc converter, the second-side bus capacitor is charged by chopping.
In a specific example, the second side voltage of the power conversion system is equal to zero before starting, that is, the power converter is used as a voltage source, and the voltages at two ends of the second side bus capacitor after being charged are charged to a first preset value, wherein the first preset value is smaller than or equal to the set voltage value of the second side bus capacitor; if the power conversion system is a dc conversion system, the operation mode of the power conversion system is a constant bus voltage operation mode.
The set voltage value of the second side bus capacitor is preset according to actual requirements, and is not specifically limited herein, and is within the protection scope of the application.
It should be noted that, in general, after determining that all the second side main switches have no short-circuit fault, the power conversion system will perform grid-connected operation, so in order to enable direct grid-connected operation subsequently, in practical application, a lower limit value is set for the voltages at two ends of the second side busbar capacitor after charging, and the lower limit value is set according to the practical grid-connected requirement, which is not limited specifically herein.
In another specific example, the second side voltage of the power conversion system is not equal to zero before starting, that is, the power converter is used as a current source, and the two-end voltage of the second side bus capacitor after being charged is charged to a second preset value, wherein the difference value of the second side voltage of the power conversion system minus the second preset value is less than or equal to the first preset overvoltage; if the power conversion system is a dc conversion system, the operation mode of the power conversion system is a constant current operation mode or a constant power operation mode.
The first preset overvoltage is determined according to the actual working requirement of the second side main switch and the impact capability range which can be born by the second side bus capacitor, so that the second side main switch is prevented from generating larger impact during closing, namely the second side main switch and the second side bus capacitor are prevented from being damaged, and the second side main switch and the second side bus capacitor are not particularly limited and are all in the protection range of the application.
And S130, after the charging is completed, short-circuit fault detection is carried out on each second side main switch in a divided manner.
For example, assuming that the power conversion system includes two second-side main switches, which are respectively denoted as an anode second-side main switch and a cathode second-side main switch, short-circuit fault detection is performed on each second-side main switch in a number of times, specifically: short-circuit fault detection is carried out on the positive electrode second side main switch for the first time, and short-circuit fault detection is carried out on the negative electrode second side main switch for the second time.
At this time, in one example, as shown in fig. 2, step S130 includes the following steps;
s131, short-circuit fault detection is conducted on the positive electrode second side main switch.
And S132, detecting a short-circuit fault of the main switch at the second side of the negative electrode.
Optionally, the second side main switch may be a mechanical switch such as a contactor or a circuit breaker, or may be an electronic switch such as a MOS transistor or an IGBT, which is not specifically limited herein, and may be within the protection scope of the present application as the case may be.
In practical applications, if the second side main switch is a mechanical switch, the short-circuit fault of the second side main switch is usually caused by adhesion of contacts in the mechanical switch; if the second side main switch is an electronic switch, a short circuit fault of the second side main switch is usually caused by the broken PN junction in the electronic switch.
When all the first side main switches in the power conversion system do not have short-circuit faults, the power converter in the power conversion system is utilized to charge the second side bus capacitor in the power conversion system, so that the second bus capacitor can be charged when the second side voltage of the power conversion system is equal to zero, the condition that the voltages at two ends of the second bus capacitor are consistent with the second side voltage all the time is avoided, and misjudgment in the process of short-circuit fault detection of the second side main switch is avoided; the power conversion system can also be a direct current conversion system, and the second side main switch can also be a contactor, so that the main switch short circuit detection method of the power conversion system can avoid misjudgment in the process of carrying out adhesion fault detection on the contactor at one side of the direct current conversion system when the voltage at the other side of the direct current conversion system is equal to zero.
Another embodiment of the present application provides a specific implementation manner of short-circuit fault detection for a second side main switch, as shown in fig. 3 (fig. 3 only shows an example of short-circuit fault detection for a second side main switch), which specifically includes the following steps:
s210, controlling each second side main switch to enable the second side main switch to be detected to be in an off state and enable the rest second side main switches to be in an on state.
For example, assume that the power conversion system includes two second-side main switches, which are respectively denoted as an anode second-side main switch and a cathode second-side main switch, and short-circuit fault detection is performed on the anode second-side main switch, where the anode second-side main switch is the second-side main switch to be detected.
In practical application, the main switch short-circuit detection method is performed before the power conversion system is started, so that if the short-circuit fault detection performed at the moment is the first time, before the short-circuit fault detection is performed, each second side main switch is in a default state, namely an off state; if the short-circuit fault detection is not the first time, the second side main switches are in the on state except the second side main switch to be detected last time before the short-circuit fault detection.
In a specific example, the short-circuit fault detection performed at this time is the first time, if the number of the second side main switches included in the power conversion system is greater than 1, the second side main switches to be detected are kept in a current state by controlling the second side main switches to be detected, and the rest of the second side main switches are controlled to be closed, so that the second side main switches to be detected can be in an off state, and the rest of the second side main switches can be in an on state; if the number of the second side main switches included in the power conversion system is equal to 1, the second side main switches to be detected can be in an off state and the rest second side main switches can be in an on state by controlling the second side main switches to be detected to keep the current state.
In a specific example, the short-circuit fault detection performed at this time is not the first time, and the number of the second side main switches included in the power conversion system is greater than 1, and the second side main switches to be detected can be in an off state and the rest of the second side main switches are in an on state by controlling the second side main switches to be detected to be off, controlling the second side main switches to be detected last time to be on, and controlling other second side main switches to be in a current state.
S220, judging whether the voltage of two ends of the second side bus capacitor after being charged is equal to the second side voltage of the power conversion system.
If the voltage of the two ends of the second side bus capacitor after being charged is equal to the voltage of the second side of the power conversion system, executing step S230; if the voltage at the two ends of the second side bus capacitor after charging is not equal to the voltage at the second side of the power conversion system, step S240 is performed.
S230, judging that the second side main switch to be detected has a short-circuit fault.
S240, judging that the to-be-detected second side main switch has no short circuit fault.
In this embodiment, since the voltage across the second-side bus capacitor after the step S210 is performed is not equal to the second-side voltage of the power conversion system, if the voltage across the second-side bus capacitor after the charging is equal to the second-side voltage of the power conversion system, it may be determined that the second-side main switch to be detected has a short-circuit fault, and thus this embodiment may implement the short-circuit fault detection of the second-side main switch to be detected.
The present application provides a specific implementation manner of step S110, which is applicable to a case where the first side of the power conversion system is a dc side and each of the first side main switches is connected in parallel with a slow start circuit, that is, to a case where the power conversion system is a dc conversion system and each of the first side main switches is connected in parallel with a slow start circuit; the specific flow of this embodiment can be seen in fig. 4 (only shown on the basis of fig. 1), and specifically includes the following steps:
s310, charging a first side bus capacitor in the power conversion system by using the first side voltage of the power conversion system and all the slow start circuits.
The voltage at two ends of the first side bus capacitor is charged to a third preset value; the difference value of the first side voltage minus the third preset value of the power conversion system is smaller than or equal to the second preset overvoltage.
In addition, the second preset overvoltage is determined according to the actual working requirement of the first side main switch and the impact capability range that the first side bus capacitor can bear, so that the first side main switch is prevented from generating larger impact during closing, namely, the first side main switch and the first side bus capacitor are prevented from being damaged, and the second preset overvoltage is not specifically limited and is in the protection range of the application.
S320, after the charging is completed, short-circuit fault detection is carried out on each first side main switch in a divided manner, and corresponding detection results are obtained.
The embodiment also provides a specific implementation manner of detecting a short-circuit fault of a first side main switch and obtaining a corresponding detection result, where a specific flow of this implementation manner may be referred to fig. 5 (fig. 5 is only based on fig. 4, and shows an example of detecting a short-circuit fault of a first side main switch), and specifically includes the following steps:
s410, controlling each first side main switch to enable the first side main switch to be detected to be in an off state and enabling the rest first side main switches to be in an on state.
For example, assume that the power conversion system includes two first side main switches, which are respectively denoted as a positive first side main switch and a negative first side main switch, and short-circuit fault detection is performed on the positive first side main switch, then the positive first side main switch is the first side main switch to be detected.
It should be noted that, the first side main switch to be detected is in an off state, and the other first side main switches are in an on state, which are the same as the second side main switch to be detected is in an off state, and the other second side main switches are in an on state, which are not described herein.
S420, judging whether the first side voltage of the power conversion system is equal to the voltage of two ends of the charged first side bus capacitor.
If the voltage at the first side of the power conversion system is not equal to the voltage at the two ends of the charged first side bus capacitor, executing step S430; if the first side voltage of the power conversion system is equal to the voltage between the two ends of the charged first side bus capacitor, step S440 is performed.
And S430, the corresponding detection result is that the main switch at the first side to be detected has no short circuit fault.
S440, the corresponding detection result is that the first side main switch to be detected has a short circuit fault.
In this embodiment, since the first side voltage of the power conversion system is not equal to the voltage across the charged first side bus capacitor after step S410 is performed, when the first side voltage of the power conversion system is equal to the voltage across the charged first side bus capacitor, it may be determined that the short-circuit fault occurs in the first side main switch to be detected, thereby implementing the short-circuit fault detection on the first side main switch.
S330, after all the first side main switches are subjected to short-circuit fault detection, judging whether each detection result is that the first side main switch to be detected has no short-circuit fault.
If each detection result is that the short-circuit fault does not occur in the first side main switch to be detected, executing step S120; and if the detected result is that the short-circuit fault does not occur in the main switch at the first side to be detected, stopping executing the main switch short-circuit detection method.
The foregoing is only one specific embodiment of step S110, and in practical applications, including but not limited to this, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention is applicable to any case.
