Definitions
- the invention relates to a submodule of a modular Mehrstu ⁇ fenumrichters with a power semiconductor circuit having at least two switched on and off power semiconductor ⁇ switch, and with an energy storage.
- Such a modular multi-stage converter has a plurality of two-pole submodules each having an energy store.
- the power semiconductor circuit of these submodules can be controlled so that at two submodule connections (ie at two poles) of these two-pole submodules either a voltage provided by the energy store (possibly in both possible polarities) or a zero voltage (a voltage with the value zero , that is no voltage) is output.
- the output voltage of the modular multistage converter is composed of the voltage amounts of the individual submodules. Since such modular multi-stage converters generally have a large number of submodules, the desired output voltages can be generated very precisely, that is to say by means of small voltage stages.
- Modular Mehrmenumrichter are often used in high-voltage ⁇ area, for example in high voltage direct current transmission. Depending on the control and arrangement of the individual submodules, this can result in very high voltages with respect to ground potential or with respect to other submodules in the case of individual submodules. This results in high demands on the electrical insulation of the individual submodules, which can lead to high costs in the construction of modular Mehrmenumrichtern.
- the invention has for its object to provide a submodule of a modular Mehrmenumrichters and a method for Be ⁇ driving a modular Mehrmenumrichters, wel ⁇ che can be realized inexpensively.
- a sub-module of a modular Mehrmenumrichters with a power semiconductor circuit the input at least two and having disengageable (mono- and disconnected) Leis ⁇ semiconductor switch, and with an energy store, wherein the energy storage comprises a plurality of energy storage modules that (electrically and mechanically ) are constructed identically (eg identically).
- ⁇ Sonder is advantageous that the same type of construction Ener ⁇ gie Eckbau jury philosophy can be prefabricated under the defined conditions of a factory-like production and tested. This makes the construction of a modular multi-stage converter at the customer much easier.
- each energy storage module a plurality of energy storage units (In ⁇ game low voltage energy storage) comprises and a control unit, in which between the control unit and the Ener ⁇ giessenrittritten module-internal (energy Eatbau- group-internal) power supply interface for an auxiliary power supply of the Energy storage units and module-internal communication interfaces for communication with the energy storage units are arranged.
- each energy storage module a plurality of energy storage units (In ⁇ game low voltage energy storage) comprises and a control unit, in which between the control unit and the Ener ⁇ gie Grandetechniken module-internal (energy Eatbau- group-internal) power supply interface for an auxiliary power supply of the Energy storage units and module-internal communication interfaces for communication with the energy storage units are arranged.
- control unit performs both the auxiliary power supply and the communication with the energy storage units (excluding the control unit).
- the control unit is arranged in spatial proximity to the energy storage units, since the control unit and the energy storage units are part of the energy storage module. This allows a simple and cost-effective communication between the control unit and the energy storage units and a simple and cost-effective supply of Energyspei ⁇ cherajien with (auxiliary) energy.
- the submodule can be designed so that the Steuerein ⁇ units of the power storage modules are connected in a series circuit by means of assemblies of external-(energy storage assembly external) communication interfaces (communication flow relation).
- each control unit communicates le ⁇ diglich with the arranged before it in the series circuit control unit or with the arranged behind it in the series circuit controlling unit.
- This has the advantage that the module-external communication interfaces of an energy storage module only need to be connected to the module-external communication interfaces of the two adjacent energy storage modules. As a result, the maximum occurring potential differences between these energy storage modules are known and can be taken into account in the design of the communication interfaces.
- the submodule can be designed such that, within an energy storage module, the control unit to the energy storage units ⁇ via the board-internal communication interface is galvanically coupled.
- Such galvanic coupling of the control unit with the Energyspei ⁇ cherajien the energy storage module is inexpensive possible.
- Such a galvanic coupling is sufficient in particular because only relatively small potential differences exist between the energy storage units of the energy storage module (compared to the potential differences that can occur between different energy storage modules).
- the submodule can also be designed so that the assemblies are internal communication interfaces as electrically conductive, in particular as metallic lines out ⁇ leads. Such lines are cost ⁇ realizable ⁇ bar.
- the submodule may also be configured so that the control ⁇ units of two power storage modules are electrically isolated (using the Module external communication interfaces) of each other. Such galvanic Entkopp ⁇ development of the control units of various energy storage assemblies allows safe operation even when large potential differences occur between the respective energy storage modules.
- the submodule can also be designed such that the component groups external communication interfaces are designed as optical waveguides.
- energy storage modules can be easily interconnected, between which large potential differences or potential differences occur.
- optical fibers are relatively expensive. It is therefore advantageous if only the module-external communication interfaces are designed as optical waveguides, whereas the module-internal communication interface is executed as an optical waveguide.
- the submodule can be configured such that each energy storage module in addition to having the assembly external communication interface further redundant modules ⁇ external communication interface. In other words, each energy storage module has two redundant module-external communication interfaces. This advantageously ensures that communication with the energy storage module can be maintained even if one communication interface fails via the second communication interface.
- the submodule can be designed such that each energy storage ⁇ subassembly has an auxiliary power supply unit for the auxiliary power supply and additionally a redundant auxiliary power supply unit for the auxiliary power supply ⁇ .
- Each energy storage module thus has two redundant auxiliary power supply units for the auxiliary power supply. In this way, it is advantageously ensured that the auxiliary power supply for the energy storage units of the energy storage module can be maintained even if an auxiliary power supply unit fails by means of the second auxiliary power supply unit.
- the submodule can be designed such that the submodule has a DC-DC converter which connects the power semiconductor circuit (electrically) to the energy store.
- a DC-DC converter enables an improved solution ANPAS ⁇ the output voltage of the energy storage to the loading ⁇ operating voltage of the power semiconductor.
- a DC-DC converter enables an improved adaptation of the output voltage of the energy store to the operating voltage of the power semiconductor switches of the power semiconductor circuit.
- the submodule can be designed such that it has a DC voltage intermediate circuit, which provides electrical energy for the auxiliary power supply. In this case, the DC link circuit, which is often present anyway in the submodule, is additionally used for the auxiliary power supply of the energy storage units.
