Definitions
- Plant and method for supplying energy to a high-performance load Plant and method for supplying energy to a high-performance load
- the invention relates to a system for energy supply egg ner high-performance load.
- a high-performance load is characterized in particular by the fact that a particularly high electrical output of more than 10 MW is required to supply the high-performance load.
- An example of a single-phase high-performance load is a high-performance arc furnace.
- Another example is an energy store for network stabilization of a supply network.
- three-phase modular multi-stage converters known for example from WO 2016/155850 A1
- a high operating voltage e.g. A particularly low-loss direct current transmission, a direct connection of a rail network supply with a special frequency or a generation of arcs for a chemical process
- the known modular multi-stage converters have compared the requirements to high current carrying capacity, so that high costs of their application for feeding single-phase high-performance loads conflict with cost reasons.
- a converter system with a modular multi-stage converter for converting a DC voltage into a three-phase AC voltage is known from EP 2 637 296 Al. There it is proposed to use a two-phase inverter, the output voltage of which is converted into a three-phase AC voltage by means of a two-to-three-phase transformer.
- a Modular Multilevel Converter Based Railway Power Conditioner for Power Balance and Harmony Compensation in Scott Railway Traction System by Song et al., IEEE 2016, the use of a Scott transformer in a system for the compensation of harmonics or Reactive currents and for balancing an active power to supply a railway line.
- the object of the invention is to propose a system of the above type, which is as cost-effective as possible and enables the most reliable supply of a high-performance load possible.
- a type of system with a three-to-two-phase transformer which has a three-phase transformer connection on the output side for connecting to a three-phase supply network and a first output-side, single-phase transformer connection and a second output-side, single-phase transformer on the output side Transformer connection includes, as well as one
- Converter arrangement with a first partial converter, which comprises a first input-side, single-phase AC voltage connection for connecting to the first output-side transformer connection of the three-to-two-phase transformer and a first single-phase output connection, and a second partial converter, which has a second input-side, single-phase Includes AC voltage connection for connecting to the second output-side transformer connection of the three-to-two-phase transformer and a second single-phase output connection, the partial converters being connected to one another in an output-side series and / or parallel connection and by forming a single-phase load connection for connecting to the high-performance load can be connected.
- the single-phase connections described here are distinguished as such by the fact that each single-phase connection has two taps that are connected to a further single-phase connection or one two-pole and thus also single-phase load can be used.
- the system according to the invention accordingly has a three-to-two-phase transformer which can be connected on the input side to a three-phase electrical network.
- the three-to-two-phase transformer can be connected on the output side with a combination of two partial converters.
- the partial converters can each be designed as one or two phases. This advantageously leads to a cost reduction compared to the use of three-phase converters.
- a reliable supply of both those high-performance loads which have a high load voltage and those which require a high load current can be provided.
- the three-to-two-phase transformer is preferably a Scott transformer or a LeBlanc transformer. These types of transformers have proven to be particularly effective and reliable.
- the system further comprises a further transformer, which can be switched between the supply network and the three-to-two-phase transformer.
- the mains voltage of the AC network on the input side can be transformed to a lower voltage at the input of the three-to-two-phase transformer.
- the partial inverters are connected in series from the output side.
- the determination of the series connection of the partial converters on the output side simplifies the construction of the system, which is particularly suitable for supplying a high-performance load with a high load voltage.
- the partial converters are connected to one another in parallel on the output side. on.
- the determination of the parallel connection of the partial converters on the output side in turn simplifies the construction of the system, which is therefore particularly suitable for supplying a high-performance load with a high load current.
- the system comprises a switching device, the partial converter being selectively switchable in series or in parallel on the output side by means of the switching device.
- the switching device can, for example, be arranged between the two partial converters.
- the switching device is suitably four-pole, so that it can also be connected to the output connections of the two partial converters.
- the system can be used particularly flexibly.
- the first partial converter comprises four converter arms, a first converter arm extending between a first tap of the first input-side AC voltage connection and a first tap of the first output connection, a second converter arm extending between a first tap of the first input-side AC voltage connection and a two extends t tap of the first output connection, a third converter arm extends between a second tap of the first input-side AC voltage connection and a first tap of the first output connection, a fourth converter arm extends between a second tap of the first input-side AC voltage connection and a second tap of the first output connection, where the converter arms each have a series connection of
- the first partial converter thus has the structure of a single-phase modular matrix converter. Depending on the design of the first partial converter
- Switching modules and their regulation or control can generally generate an AC voltage or a DC voltage on the output side.
- the design of the first partial converter as a single-phase modular matrix or Multi-stage converter offers the possibility of generating particularly advantageous output voltages. Accordingly, it is also possible to design the second partial converter as a single-phase modular matrix or multi-stage converter.
- the first and the second partial converter are suitably constructed in the same way.
- At least one, preferably all, of the switching modules comprises at least four semiconductor switches which can be switched off and an energy store which are connected to one another in a full-bridge circuit.
- at least one, preferably all, of the switching modules comprises at least two semiconductor switches which can be switched off and an energy store, which are connected to one another in a half-bridge circuit.
- the full bridge circuit has the advantage that output voltages of both polarities (positive and negative) can be generated.
- Half-bridge circuit offers the advantage of lower losses. To supply a high-performance load with a DC voltage or a DC current, for example, only switching modules in half-bridge circuit can be used. This also lowers the cost of the system.
- the invention further relates to a method for Energy/Voltage provide a high-performance load.
- the object of the invention is to propose a species-appropriate Ver drive that is as reliable and inexpensive as possible.
- the object is achieved by a method for supplying energy to a high-performance load, in which the high-performance load is supplied with electrical energy by means of a system according to the invention.
- the advantages of the method according to the invention result in particular from the advantages described above in connection with the system according to the invention.
