Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical power converter according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Electrical power converters are used to convert and provide electrical power to a consumer when in the source of the electrical power, e.g. the 50 Hz alternating current network or a solar cell battery, the electrical variables such as voltage, frequency etc. do not meet the needs of the consumer.
  • the source of the electrical power e.g. the 50 Hz alternating current network or a solar cell battery
  • the electrical variables such as voltage, frequency etc. do not meet the needs of the consumer.
  • Every mains transformer corresponds to a power converter.
  • the output variables e.g. the output voltage, controlled or regulated.
  • Such power converters are mainly controlled by pulse width modulation or, in the case of resonance cells, by frequency variation.
  • Important secondary conditions must be taken into account regularly, such as switch-on and switch-off behavior, short-circuit protection, dynamic control behavior in the event of sudden load changes, etc. These secondary conditions and their control are often decisive for the technical and economic value of a power converter.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a new class of electrical power converters which, while basically maintaining the switching principle, has significantly improved control properties.
  • Fig. 1 Schematic representation of a controlled electrical
  • FIG. 2 Schematic representation of a regulated power converter
  • FIG. 1 shows a first, very schematic and basically known block diagram of an electrical power converter 10, which brings energy from any power source 11 to a consumer 12, which is also arbitrary.
  • Possible power sources 11 are the general 50 Hz alternating current network, a DC voltage source fed from this network, ie a mains rectifier with smoothing filter, a rechargeable accumulator, a buffered solar cell battery, etc., as a possible consumer 12 preferably an electrical or electronic circuit device, for example an oscillograph .
  • the power converter 10 comprises an isolating or power transformer 13 which on the one hand galvanically separates the primary side of the converter 10 from its secondary side and on the other hand transforms an alternating current i from a primary-side voltage level to a secondary-side voltage level.
  • the power converter 10 further comprises an actuator 14 via which the power output to the consumer 12 can be adjusted by means of a suitable manipulated variable 15.
  • the alternating current i advantageously has a frequency w which is at least 1 kHz because of the size of the transformer 13 and at least 15 kHz because of the acoustic audibility.
  • the frequency is limited to approximately 100 kHz due to the current material and circuit properties of the actuator 14 and the transformer 13. However, this value will soon increase to 1 MHz.
  • the shape of the alternating current i can be sinusoidal or as a chopped direct current in the voltage should be rectangular. Other forms are less common, but are quite possible.
  • FIG. 1 represents an arrangement controlled by the manipulated variable 15.
  • FIG. 2 shows a regulated arrangement.
  • the power converter 10 is supplemented by a sensor 20, which for example measures the voltage of the current supplied to the consumer 12 on the secondary side, and by a controller 21, which obtains a manipulated variable 24 from the measured variable 22 of the sensor 20 and an externally inputable desired variable 23 and this feeds the actuator 14.
  • the actuator 14 is an inductive resistor, the inductance L of which can be varied within a wide range, ie at least in a ratio of 1: 100, electrically, ie by means of a control current I.
  • This inductive resistor is connected in series with the power transformer 13, preferably with the primary winding of the transformer 13.
  • the characteristic corresponds exactly to that of a normal choke coil.
  • the actuator 14 thus influences only the amplitude of the Alternating current in such a way that, in the sense of a voltage divider, a proportion of the respectively existing voltage at the actuator 14 or at the transformer 13 corresponding to the respective ratio of the reactance of the actuator 14 and the transformer winding 13 drops. No distortion occurs here, which means that the spectrum of the Fourier decomposition of the voltage remains constant. This is the decisive, advantageous difference to, for example, pulse width modulation, in which a different voltage spectrum is assigned to each pulse width.
  • the actuator is preferably constructed from two identical, ferromagnetic, radio-frequency-compatible, coaxially arranged, cylindrical or better toroidal ring cores 111, 112, in particular ferrite cores (shown in section), each of which essentially has a partial winding 151 over its entire angular range or 152 the same number of turns is wound.
  • These partial windings have opposite winding senses and, connected in series, form an induction winding 150 through which alternating current i flows.
  • control winding 17 which is wound together in a second operation via the coaxially combined cores 111, 112 and their partial windings 151, 152, also uniformly over the entire angular range, as a result of which it mechanically holds the cores 111 and 112 together.
  • the control winding 117 has the control current I flowing through it, the same pre-magnetization of the ring cores 111 and 112 for the induction winding 150 each sets an assigned inductance value L. Due to the geometry of the actuator 14 described, this inductance is constant for alternating currents i with not too high voltage amplitudes, so it always behaves like a normal choke coil with a corresponding inductance value L.
  • FIG. 4 shows a symbolic representation of the actuator 14, the reference numbers corresponding to those of FIG. 3.
  • the electrical isolation of the induction winding 150 and the control winding 117 appears clearly in this illustration. It is not shown that instead of an induction winding 150 and / or a control winding 117, two or more corresponding windings can also be provided without further notice.
  • FIG. 5 shows a more detailed block diagram of a first embodiment of an electrical power converter 10, namely an AC / AC converter (AC: alternating current).
  • the converter 10 only comprises an actuator 14 and a transformer 13.
  • the inductance winding 150 is connected in series with the primary winding 13.1 of the transformer 13 and is connected together with this to an AC power source 11, for example a sine wave oscillator.
  • the secondary winding 13.2 feeds the ohmic consumer 12, for example.
  • the control winding 117 is connected to a controller 30 designed as a variable current source, which outputs an adjustable control current I.
  • This power converter works as Transformer with variable output voltage, i.e. as an electrically controlled control transformer.
  • the actuator 14 of the power converter 10 has two control windings 117.1 and 117.2.
  • the power transformer 13 has the same design as the actuator 14 and has a control winding 117.3 and two induction windings 150.2 and 150.3, of which one (150.2) serves as the primary winding and the other (150.3) serves as the secondary winding of the transformer 13.
  • the control winding 117.1 of the actuator 14 is connected to a constant current source 31 which emits such a large, constant current j that the ring cores 111 and 112 of the actuator are magnetically saturated.
  • the other control winding 117.2 of the actuator 14 is connected in series with the control winding 117.3 of the transformer 13 to the controller 30 so that its control current I demagnetizes the ring cores 111 and 112 in opposition to the current j more or less and the ring cores of the Transformer 13 magnetized accordingly.
  • the inductance L s of the actuator 14 decreases when the inductance Lj of the transformer 13 increases and vice versa.
  • the reactance wL of the two elements thus changes in opposite directions, which results in an increased potentiometric effect compared to the arrangement of FIG. 5 with a correspondingly improved possibility of regulating the secondary voltage supplied to the consumer 12 and the current coupled therewith.
  • Fig. "7 is a further electrical power converter, namely a DC / DC converter (DC: direct current, DC)
  • the converter comprises two switching transistors 41, 42, the fixed-frequency, eg 100 kHz, the current of a direct current source 11. chop and alternately charge two capacitors 43 and 44 via the induction winding 150 of the actuator 14 and the primary winding 13.1 of the power transformer 13 connected in series therewith.
  • the alternating current i occurring here is transformed from the primary winding 13.1 to the secondary winding 13.2 of the transformer 13, rectified via diodes 48, 49 and supplied to the consumer 12, for example an electronic circuit.
  • a capacitor 51 is used for smoothing, diodes 52, 53 in parallel with the transistors 41, 42 for their protection. Fluctuations in consumption and fluctuations in the power source 11 are varied by changing the reactance of the actuator 14.
  • a controller 30 and its control current I through the control winding 117 of the actuator 14 are used for this purpose.
  • FIG. 8 shows a modification of the power converter from FIG. 7, in which the capacitors 43 and 44 are formed by two further switching transistors 55, 56 and these parallel protective diodes 58, 59 are replaced.
  • the series connection of the inductance winding 150 and the primary winding 13.1 is in the bridge branch of a switching bridge formed by the switching transistors 41, 42, 55, 56.
  • the transistors are alternately switched on and off by a switching control, not shown, in a fixed cycle, as a result of which the DC voltage of the source 11 is chopped and the switching bridge is alternately flowed through in one and the other direction by the current i, the current strength being the reactance of the actuating element ⁇ member 14 is adjustable or controllable.
  • FIG. 9 shows a further power converter which converts the power of an AC voltage source 11 into a regulated DC voltage of changing polarity, that is to say an AC / AC converter.
  • the inductance winding 150 of the actuator 14 is in turn connected in series with the primary winding 13.1 of the power transformer 13 and connected to the source 11.
  • An electronic polarity changeover switch is connected to the secondary winding 13.2 of the transformer 13, as is known, for example, from PU Lind, "Four quadrant bilateral power converter", Proc. of Powerconversion, (Sept. 1982).
  • This switch has four switching transistors 62 to 65, which charge a capacitor 67 via a filter choke 66, to which the load 12 is connected.
  • the changeover switch rectifies the transformed AC voltage in time with the AC voltage source 11 with very low losses.
  • the power regulation takes place again via the control current I, which is output by a controller 30 to the control winding 117 of the actuator 14.
  • the respective control 30 can easily be replaced by a regulation in the sense of FIG. 2. This is even the preferred embodiment, since power converters generally have to meet very high control requirements.
  • the new type of actuator 14 offers excellent possibilities for improving the control properties, which are listed below.
  • All power converters 10 shown basically work at a constant frequency of the alternating current i. This is beneficial in several ways. However, in addition to controlling the inductance L of the actuator 14, e.g. to compensate for short-term transients, also to vary the frequency w of the alternating current i, which causes an additional change in the reactance wL of the actuator 14.
  • the switch-on, switch-off and short-circuit behavior of the power converter 10 is very good, since the alternating current i can never rise beyond impermissible values due to the reactance of the actuator 14 which is always present. If the control current I fails, the reactance increases automatically, which is a positive safety aspect. In the case of secondary shorts, which corresponds to an arbitrarily large consumer power, the reactance of the actuator can be brought to a maximum value by switching off the control current I. In addition, the reactance can be increased by increasing the frequency of the alternating current i.
  • the power converters 10 have all the properties of a current source. This eliminates difficulties which are caused in other converters, for example pulse-width-controlled converters, by the so-called recovery time t rr of the rectifier diodes. The relief networks used to overcome these difficulties are therefore not necessary.
  • control current I The regulation of the reactance of the actuator 14 via the control current I is galvanically isolated from the controlled current i.
  • a plurality of control currents can be used independently of one another via a plurality of control windings 117.
  • the actuator is mechanically, electrically, magnetically and thermally robust. It can be manufactured relatively cheaply in any size and adapted to the respective needs. Its use does not require any special precautionary measures.
  • control current I The setting of the control current I to that value which corresponds to the desired reactance is simple and by known means, e.g. a transistor amplifier, noticeable.

Abstract

Le convertisseur de puissance (10) sert à la préparation d'une puissance électrique pour un utilisateur (12), la puissance étant tirée d'une source de puissance (11) et adaptée quant aux grandeurs électriques aux besoins de l'utilisateur (12). Le convertisseur (10) comporte dans sa version la plus simple exclusivement un transformateur (13) et une résistance inductive connectée en série avec ce dernier et formant un organe de réglage (14). Cet organe (14) est constitué de deux noyaux en ferrite (111, 112) en forme d'anneaux fermés, identiques disposés coaxialement et qui sont entourés chacun d'une des parties d'un enroulement (150) d'induction et ensemble d'un enroulement de commande (117). Celui-ci est relié à une commande (30) qui règle à l'aide d'un courant (I) de commande la valeur de l'inductance propre L de l'organe de réglage (14) pouvant être variée dans une gamme étendue (1:100). L'organe de réglage (14) agit par son inductance propre L correspondante sur le courant alternatif (i) circulant dans son enroulement d'induction (150) à la manière d'une bobine de réactance de même inductance propre L, c'est-à-dire sans distorsion. La connexion en série de l'organe de réglage (14) et du transformateur (13) exerce ainsi sur le courant alternatif (i) l'effet d'un simple diviseur de tension réglable électriquement.
