Description

A kind of electric propulsion system
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of propulsion system, especially a kind of electric propulsion system that is used for various ships or other waterborne moveable structure.
Background technology
Traditional angle of rake boats and ships of internal combustion engine drive spacing oar or other waterborne moveable structure, its route speed will be realized by regulating internal-combustion engine rotational speed, and the nitrogen oxide emission of combustion engine, the variable-speed operation operating mode is more much higher than constant-speed operation operating mode, and its exhaust emission exceeds standard usually.Under the overall situation of energy-saving and emission-reduction, electric propulsion system arises at the historic moment, and the characteristics of electric propulsion system are: good economy performance, save fuel oil; The road-holding property of boats and ships and safety are good.Electric propulsion system uses many combustion engines, the unlikely power that completely loses when indivedual unit et out of order; Save the space, improved engine room arrangement; Noise is low, adopt electric propulsion after, main soruce of vibration Zhao engine installation with the constant rotational speed operation, does not have direct connection with axle system and hull yet on elastic base, significantly reduced vibration and noise, helps the boats and ships pollution that controls environment.
Electric propulsion system has multiple scheme, for example:
1. silicon controlled rectifier+DC motor
DC machine needs commutator, easy et out of order, and have complex structure, cost height, shortcoming such as volume is big, difficult in maintenance, efficient is low; Because adopted device for high-power power electronic, network of ship is produced bigger harmonic pollution, hinder it and advanced the widespread use in field at marine vessel power.
2. AC asynchronous motor+adjustable oar
AC asynchronous motor starting immediate current is bigger, normally 5~7 of normal current times, causes system's pressure drop of grid big; The torque that starting moment mechanical axis bears is big, is about 2~3 times of torque rating; In addition, power factor is lower, also can only reach about 0.85 in the time of at full capacity; Counter-rotating is slow, and stopping distance is long.
3. current-mode converter+autosynchronous motor
During low cruise, current-mode converter is with near current control pulsation zero, and also there is pulsation in torque output, vibrates for the axle frenulum; Time constant big (because the load of direct current (DC) sympathism links to each other) is so the system dynamics response is relatively poor; Direct current input inductance numerical value in the current-mode inverter circuit is very big can to constitute a current source, make the DC loop current constant, so the weight of inductance, volume are all very big, and, make to be very restricted in the use to the bigger harmonic pollution of network of ship generation.
4. ac-ac frequency converter+ac synchronous motor (CYCLO)
Network of ship is produced bigger harmonic pollution, and harmonic wave just depends on motor speed; Power factor is low, and the system power factor is determined by electric moter voltage, is generally about 0.76.
5. voltage frequency converter+AC asynchronous motor
Belong to friendship Carve Xi ac frequency converter with current-mode converter, also form, so efficient is low by rectifier, filter, inverter three parts; In addition, high-voltage large-capacity IGBT and IGCT cost height.
The scheme of the employing converter technique of generally using will install additional devices such as phase shifting transformer, filter additional now, and it is big that electric energy loss becomes, and harmonic pollution is big, and cost of investment is increased.What is more important, in case frequency converter fault, needing very, the technical professional could keep in repair, this has proposed very high requirement to the crewman, even be equipped with relevant professional and technical personnel on the ship, the parts that damage also are difficult on the ship away from land and solve, and have therefore increased especially sea going risk waterborne greatly.Open day be that the Chinese patent file that July 16, notification number in 2008 are CN101219644 discloses a kind of watercraft electric propulsion system based on super capacitance hybrid power, comprise: hybrid power supply, super capacitor group and battery pile, charge system, comprise ground charging station rectification actuating device, intelligent self-adaptive control setup, be used to finish charging to the super capacitor group, the driver behavior control system, comprise driving controller, velocity setting device and telltale, to realize monitoring to ship operation and operation conditions; Propulsion system comprises the frequency converter actuating device, alternating-current motor/AC motor and the propelling unit that link to each other successively; Control system comprises pile control setup and system controller, adopts the fieldbus mode that driver behavior control system and field control system are coordinated.Super capacitor in this structure is fast with respect to its charging rate of storage battery, can finish at short notice, and have and do not have discharging, and is pollution-free, is beneficial to environmental protection, and it is little to have noise simultaneously, can improve cabin comfort level in the boats and ships.This structure adopts based on super capacitance hybrid power in addition, is convenient to configuration, easily layout.Open day be that the Chinese patent file that January 9, notification number in 2008 are CN201002715 discloses the automotive gas turbine stirling engine electric propulsion apparatus that a kind of large ship navigates by water at a high speed, comprise: two stage compressor, intercooler, regenerator, combustion chamber, two-stage gas turbine, A stirling engine, B stirling engine, water-circulating pump, radiator, fan, main generator, A electrical generator, B electrical generator, electrical panel, voltage transformer, harmonic filter, frequency converter, monitor controller, electric propulsion device.This structure adopts from the waste gas of the automotive gas turbine thermal source as stirling engine, when not increasing consumption of fuel, not increase-volume of turbo-power unit, stirling engine work fully, not need not under the condition of fuel feeding, increase substantially turbo-power unit combined power thermal efficiency of cycle and large ship propulsive force, can significantly improve the manoevreability and the emergency capability of the marine defence of waterborne emergent operational capability and the country large ship of large-sized civil boats and ships, have apparent economic benefit and social benefit.But above-mentioned patent all adopts the converter technique speed governing in electric propulsion system, the cost of investment height, and electric energy loss and harmonic pollution are big, and be difficult in maintenance, and the failure risk of its power plant of boats and ships maritime navigation is bigger.
