Definitions
- the invention relates to a voltage converter for converting a DC input voltage into a three-phase AC voltage in the Netzf reque z range, with at least one inductor and with a plurality of switches controlled by a control circuit.
- the DC voltage must be converted into a network-compliant AC voltage with the help of an inverter.
- the services in the private user area are between about 1 to 5 kVA.
- a single-phase changer controlled by a microprocessor has become known, for example, from DE 19642522 C1, using five controlled switches and one inductor. If you modify this inverter to a three-phase version, the number of switches in particular increases considerably, namely to fifteen, and three inductors are also required.
- No. 5,053,938 A discloses a voltage converter for supplying a three-phase motor, which contains a single converter part for generating a positive voltage. With the help of a bridge circuit with six switches, positive and negative voltages are then generated for the three-phase output.
- a DC voltage e.g. of solar systems, fuel cells, accumulators, DC machines, etc.
- the effort involved in controlled switches and inductances should remain low, but a large input voltage range should nevertheless be covered, the input voltage not only being smaller than the AC output voltage but also being greater.
- this object is achieved according to the invention in that a first converter part is provided for generating positive output voltage parts and a second converter part for generating negative output voltage parts, and the output of the first converter part is in each case via one of first phase series switches and the output of the second converter part is connected to the three-phase outputs via one of two phase series switches.
- a voltage converter is created which not only satisfactorily solves the task or tasks, but which also offers the possibility of permitting a continuous ground connection between the negative (or positive) pole of the input DC voltage and the neutral conductor of the three-phase network, which means that DC voltage source, e.g. the photovoltaic generator, no capacitive leakage currents towards the end and no grid frequency (50 Hz) fields.
- DC voltage source e.g. the photovoltaic generator
- An advantageous variant of an implementation of the invention is characterized in that a pole of the direct voltage is galvanically connected to the neutral conductor of the three-phase output, between a pole of the direct voltage and ground there is the series connection of a first cross switch and a cross inductance, the connection point of this series connection via one each the second phase series switch is connected to the three-phase outputs, a pole of the direct voltage is also connected to a series switch and a series inductor leads to a series inductance via one of the first phase series switches to the three-phase outputs and a second cross switch to ground, and the connection point the series circuit of the series switch with the series inductor is connected to ground via a diode with respect to the input voltage in the reverse direction, the series inductance together with the series switch and the second cross switch and one of the first longitudinal switch and the diode as an up / down converter the first Converter and the cross inductance together with the first cross switch and the second series switch as the inverse converter forms the second converter.
- control circuit has:
- An input monitor which is set up to monitor at least input voltage and / or input current
- a network monitoring system which is set up to monitor the voltage and / or current and / or phase position of the three-phase AC voltage
- a hierarchical operational management to which the output signals of the input monitoring and the network monitoring are fed and which is set up to determine default values relating to the voltage values to be generated,
- a converter control to which default values for the generation of the positive and negative output voltage parts on the part of the management are supplied in order to control the switches of the first and second converter, and
- ⁇ a phase control, to which the operational management is supplied with default values for switching over the first and second phase series switches in order to control these series switches.
- the output of the first converter part is led in the forward direction to the first phase series switches via a first series diode and / or the output of the second voltage converter part is led in the blocking direction to the second phase series switches via a second series diode.
- the advantage of this design lies in the fact that in this FaU the requirements for hierarchical management are less complex.
- FIG. 1 shows a circuit diagram of a voltage converter according to the invention, omitting the control and details not known to the person skilled in the art,
- FIG. 2 shows a control circuit for the converter according to FIG. 1, 3 shows the time course of a three-phase AC voltage for feeding into an AC network,
- FIG. 1 there is a DC input voltage U E for the voltage converter according to the invention, which comes from a photovoltaic generator (not shown) or another DC voltage source.
- This voltage is connected to an input pole p of the converter with its positive pole and to a ground input pole m with its negative pole.
- An input capacitor CE smoothes switching peaks and is used for interference suppression, although other known interference suppression measures, not shown here, such as interference suppression chokes can be provided on both the input and the output side.
- the series circuit of a first controlled cross-switch S3 and a cross-inductor L2 lies between the pole p and ground m, the connection point v g of this series circuit being led to three second phase series switches S7, S8, S9 and via one of these switches in each case to one of the outputs R, S, T of the three-phase system can be switched.
- a second series diode D 2 L can be connected in the line from the connection point v g to the series switches S7, S8, S9 in order to prevent current from the positive pole p from being directly connected to one of the phases R, S or T fHeessen if it occurs due to technical switching times of the semiconductor switches used that both S3 and one of the switches S7, S8, S9 are switched through.
- adding the diodes DIL and D 2 L results in additional component costs and a loss in the efficiency of the inverter.
- the - in this exemplary embodiment - positive pole p of the input DC voltage UE is further led via a series switch S1 and in series with a series inductor Ll via a first phase series switch S4, S5, S6 to the three-phase outputs R, S, T, also here in front of the common inputs of the phase switches S4, S5, S6, a first series diode D IL can be switched on in order to prevent current from one of the phases R, S or T from being able to reach the negative pole m of the input if it is due to technical reasons. te switching times or semiconductor switches used, both S2 and one of the switches S4, S5, S6 are switched through.
- connection point v e of the series switch S1 and the series inductor L1 is connected to ground m via a diode D1 which is in the reverse direction with respect to the input voltage UE.
- the input ground pole m is looped through to the output neutral conductor N of the three-phase output, and smoothing and interference suppression capacitors Gr, Cs, CR are connected between the outputs R, S, T and the NulHeiter N.
- the function of the converter consists of two converters.
- the first converter has a first converter part, consisting of the series switch S1, the series inductor L1, the diode D1 and the second cross switch S2, which together with the first series switches S4, S5, S6 or, alternatively, the diode DIL, provides the first converter, which serves as an up / down converter for generating positive output voltage parts.
- the second converter is formed by a second converter part, namely the cross switch S3 and the cross inductance L2, and the second series switches S7, S8, S9 or alternatively the diode D 2 L.
- the second converter serves as an inverse converter for generating negative output voltage parts.
- a hierarchical management HBF is fed from an input monitor EUW and from a network monitor NUW obtained and prepared from input and output data.
- the input monitoring EUW determines in particular how much power an upstream generator generates or can generate, the level of the voltage etc.
- the output monitoring determines, for example, the level of the linked voltages, the current phase position, etc.
- the hierarchical operational management HBF now determines default values VA, VB for a converter control WAS and for a phase control PAS from the output signals of the input monitoring EUW and the network monitoring NUW.
- the WAS converter control has the task, based on the default values VH, of the switches S1, S2 and S3 for generating positive and negative output voltage parts head for.
- sine sections are calculated or generated according to the principle of pulse width modulation, with the corresponding switches having a high frequency compared to the mains frequency, e.g. B. 50 kHz can be switched on and off (see the explanations for Fig. 5 below).
- the phase control PAS calculates the values for switching over the positive and negative voltages previously generated in the two converter parts, taking into account the default values VB obtained by the HBF management.
- the first and second phase series switches S4, S5, S6 and S7, S8, S9 are switched again with the high switching frequency compared to the mains frequency. Depending on the current phase constellation, some switches remain switched through. If, for example, only one phase is "rated" during a certain period of time, the corresponding switch of switches S4 to S6 or S7 to S9 simply switches through. If two phases are to be added, there is a switch between the two associated switches in the sense of pulse width modulation switched with the high switching frequency and divided the voltage previously generated in the converter part accordingly.
- the cross switch S2 of the first converter part Sl, Dl, Ll, S2 opens and shoots here with an arbitrarily selected duty cycle of 1: 2 with the high switching frequency.
- the duty cycle of the switch S4 belonging to phase R (see FIG. 1) is still approx. 1: 1 at the beginning of the considerable period and then decreases in the sense of a missing sine to NuU, whereas the duty cycle of the phase S belonging Switch S5 is initially NuU and then goes against 2: 1 in the sense of a rising sine.
- the switch S6 belonging to phase T is continuously open during the transition period under consideration.
- the converter step-up / step-down converter or inverse converter
- the converter thus constantly applies voltage to either one or two phases of the output, it being true that the sum of the voltages on two phases corresponds in height to the time course of the voltage on the individual phase ,
- the output voltage U S0 n to be controlled by the converter is a series of six sine sections (from 60 ° to 120 °) per 50 Hz phase.
- the SoU value of the output voltage for the control of the converter thus moves in a narrow band of ⁇ 8th %.
- the corresponding switch e.g. B. S4 for the phase R in push-pull to the switch S1 or S2, depending on whether the input voltage is set high or low soU actuated. This was explained using the example of step-up with reference to FIG. 5. You can also see that when two phases are added, the closing time is divided proportionally to the amount of SoH voltage among the two switches of the three phase switches S4, S5, S6 assigned to the phases.
- the two converter parts can generate both a higher and a lower voltage than is present at their input, so that a large input voltage range can be covered.
- the converter can completely from the DC voltage input z.
- Photovoltaic generator can be disconnected, if this is required ("DC disconnection").
- the six phase series switches S4 ... S9 can be used together with mains isolating relays, not shown here, to separate the inverter from the mains in several stages, for regulations or standards.
