Hereinafter, embodiments of a switching power supply according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing examples.

(1) Circuit Configuration FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a circuit configuration of an embodiment of an isolated switching power supply of the present invention.

The switching power supply of the present invention is a power conversion device that receives three-phase AC power output by an AC generator as an input and outputs DC power to a load. For example, in wind power generation, when the wind turbine rotates and the shaft of the AC generator rotates, the three-phase AC power is output from the Y-connected three-phase stator coil in the AC generator.

The switching power supply of the present invention is not only a power conversion device but also a function as a power factor improving device. The purpose of the power factor improving device is to make the waveform of the input current the same sine wave waveform as the input voltage and to match the phases so that the power factor is 1.

The switching power supply of the present invention is an insulated type that electrically insulates the input side and the output side. For this purpose, three transformers Tr, Ts, and Tt corresponding to each phase are provided. Each of the three transformers Tr, Ts, and Tt includes one primary coil and one secondary coil. It is preferable to use three transformers Tr, Ts, and Tt having the same electromagnetic characteristics, and it is preferable to use a three-phase reactor. The reference numerals Lr1, Ls1, and Lt1 indicate the primary coil of each transformer, and the reference numerals Lr2, Ls2, and Lt2 indicate the secondary coil of each transformer.

The winding start end of each coil is indicated by a black circle. In the present specification, the terms "one end" and "the other end" of a coil mean a combination of "winding start end" and "winding end" and a combination of "winding end" and "winding start end". It shall include any of.

One end (winding start end in this example) of the primary coils Lr1, Ls1, and Lt1 of the transformer on the input side is the first input end R, the second input end S, and the first input end R, which are three terminals to which the three-phase AC voltage is input. It is connected to each of the three input terminals T. In this specification, each phase of three-phase alternating current is referred to as R phase, S phase, and T phase. Reference numeral E indicates an input side reference potential end.

On the secondary side of the transformer, a positive electrode output end P and a negative electrode output end N, which are two terminals for outputting a DC voltage, are provided. The negative electrode output end N is a secondary side reference potential end. An output voltage is applied to a load (not shown) connected between the positive electrode output end P and the negative electrode output end N, and an output current flows.

One ends of each of the three switching elements Qr, Qs, and Qt are connected to the other ends (winding ends in this example) of the primary coils Lr1, Ls1, and Lt1 of each transformer. The other ends of the switching elements Qr, Qs, and Qt are connected to the input side reference potential end E. Each switching element Qr, Qs, Qt is provided with a control end, and each control end conducts or cuts off the current path between the other end of the primary coil Lr1, Ls1, Lt1 and the input side reference potential end E. Each is controlled on and off.

Each control end of the three switching elements Qr, Qs, and Qt is controlled by one common control signal Vg. The control signal Vg is, for example, a PWM signal having a pulse waveform having a predetermined frequency and duty ratio. That is, the three switching elements Qr, Qs, and Qt are controlled so as to always be turned on and off at the same time. In the illustrated example, the switching elements Qr, Qs, and Qt are n-channel MOSFETs (hereinafter referred to as "FETQr", "FETQs", and "FETQt"), one end is a drain, the other end is a source, and the control end is a gate. is there. In this case, the control signal Vg is a voltage signal.

In addition, switching elements Qr, Qs, Qt other than FET, for example, IGBT or bipolar transistor may be used.

On the secondary side, one capacitor (hereinafter referred to as "sub") is located between one end (winding start end in this example) of the secondary coils Lr2, Ls2, and Lt2 of each transformer and the negative electrode output end N which is the secondary side reference potential end. A C1 (referred to as a "capacitor") is connected. Further, a smoothing capacitor C2 is connected between the positive electrode output end P and the negative electrode output end N.

Between the other ends (winding end in this example) of the secondary coils Lr2, Ls2, and Lt2 of each transformer and the positive electrode output end P, the first, second, and third diodes D1, D2, which are examples of rectifying elements, are located. , D3 are connected respectively. The anodes of the diodes D1, D2, and D3 are connected to the other ends of the secondary coils Lr2, Ls2, and Lt2, respectively, and each cathode is connected to the positive electrode output end P. Each diode D1, D2, D3 conducts the current flowing from the other end of the secondary coils Lr2, Ls2, and Lt2 of each transformer to the positive electrode output end P when the forward bias is applied, and cuts off the current when the reverse bias is applied. To do.

The diodes D1, D2, and D3 are preferably those having a small forward voltage drop and performing high-speed operation.

Further, the fourth, fifth and sixth diodes D4, D5 and D6, which are examples of rectifying elements, are connected between the other ends of the secondary coils Lr2, Ls2 and Lt2 of each transformer and the negative electrode output end N, respectively. Has been done. The cathodes of the diodes D4, D5, and D6 are connected to the other ends of the secondary coils Lr2, Ls2, and Lt2, and each anode is connected to the negative electrode output end N. Each diode D4, D5, D6 conducts a current flowing from the negative electrode output end N to the other end of the secondary coils Lr2, Ls2, and Lt2 of each transformer at the time of forward bias, and cuts off each diode at the time of reverse bias.

Further, in the circuit of FIG. 1, between the input side reference potential end E and each of the first input end R, the second input end S, and the third input end T, the seventh and eighth rectifying elements are examples. , Ninth diodes D7, D8, D9 are connected respectively. The cathodes of the diodes D7, D8, and D9 are connected to the input side reference potential end E, and the anodes are connected to the first, second, and third input terminals R, S, and T, respectively. The diodes D7, D8, and D9 conduct currents flowing from the input side reference potential end E to each of the first, second, and third input ends R, S, and T at the time of forward bias, respectively, and at the time of reverse bias. Block each.

Further, although not shown, it has a control unit that generates a control signal Vg. The control unit detects, for example, the magnitudes of the input voltage and the DC output voltage, determines the duty ratio of the control signal Vg based on the detected input voltage and the output voltage, and generates the control signal Vg based on the duty ratio. It is preferable to use a PWM IC as the main part of the control unit.

The PWM IC is, for example, a pulse-shaped control having a constant duty ratio by inputting a DC signal having a constant voltage corresponding to one determined duty ratio and a conveyed triangular wave signal having a constant frequency to a comparator. The signal Vg is output. In the present invention, such a control signal Vg is referred to as a control signal "having a constant duty ratio". Such a control signal is an example.

(2) Operation Description The operation of the circuit configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6. The operation when the circuit is in a steady state will be described with the exception of the transient operation when the circuit is started and stopped.

(2-1) Input Three-Phase AC and Power Factor Improving Action First, the power factor improving action by the switching operation for the input three-phase alternating current will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b).

FIG. 2A shows voltage waveforms of R-phase, S-phase, and T-phase of input three-phase alternating current. The phase having the highest potential and the phase having the lowest potential are sequentially replaced every 120 ° of the phase. The frequency of the three-phase alternating current is, for example, several Hz to 100 Hz in the case of a wind power generator. On the other hand, the switching frequency, that is, the frequency of the control signal Vg in FIG. 1, is several kHz to several hundred kHz, which is sufficiently higher than the frequency of the three-phase AC.

As an example, the period during which the T phase reaches the lowest potential (referred to as “T mode”) will be described. The period in which the R phase has the lowest potential (referred to as "R mode") and the period in which the S phase has the lowest potential (referred to as "S mode") are the same, and thus description thereof will be omitted.

In the T mode, the R phase has the highest potential in the first half of the period, and the S phase has the highest potential in the second half. In FIG. 1, an input current flows due to the interphase voltage between the positive potential phase and the negative potential phase during the on period of FETQr, Qs, and Qt, and no current flows during the off period.

In the following operation description, as an example, a case where an input current flows from the highest potential R phase or S phase to the lowest potential T phase by the RT-phase voltage or the ST-phase voltage will be described (other cases). The operation is the same, so the explanation is omitted).

Here, for example, the interphase voltage between the R phase and the T phase is referred to as "RT interphase voltage" or the like and is expressed as "vrt". Further, for example, the input current flowing due to the RT interphase voltage vrt is expressed as "irt".

The power factor improving action will be described with reference to FIG. 2 (b). As an example, FIG. 2B shows the waveform of the PWM control signal at point A on the time axis t of FIG. 2A, the RT interphase voltage vrt, and between the first input terminal R and the third input end T. The on-current irt flowing through the circuit is schematically shown. Since the switching frequency is sufficiently higher than the frequency of three-phase alternating current, the RT-phase voltage vrt during one on-period can be regarded as a pulse-like constant voltage. Therefore, the value of the start point of the on-current irt depends on the RT interphase voltage vrt and the inductance L on the current path between the first input end R and the third input end T, irt = vrt / Lω (ω is the switching frequency). It is decided by. The current irt rises linearly during the on period. During the off period, the current irt becomes zero.

Since the inductance L and the switching frequency ω on the current path are constants, the value of the starting point of the current irt during the on-period is determined by the instantaneous value of the RT-phase voltage vrt at the starting point of the on-period. Since the instantaneous values of the RT interphase voltage vrt are scattered on the trajectory of the sine wave, the current irt flowing through the primary coil during the on period also draws the trajectory of the sine wave. This means that the input current is a sine wave with the same phase as the input voltage. As a result, the power factor improvement on the primary side is realized.

In this circuit, a current path including an inductance to which a three-phase AC interphase voltage is applied is conducted and cut off by using a PWM control signal having a constant frequency and duty ratio, so that a sine wave whose phase matches the input voltage is cut off. The input current of the wave can be obtained.

(2-2) Details of operation of the primary side and the secondary side during the on period FIG. 3 shows the current during the on period at a certain time point in the T mode (for example, near the point A in FIG. 2) in the circuit configuration shown in FIG. The flow (dotted line with arrow) is shown schematically.

[On period: Primary side]
On the primary side of the transformer, when the control signal Vg is turned on during the on period, FETQr, FETQs, and FETQt are all turned on and the current path is conducted.

The input current irt flows through the primary coil of the transformer Tr by the RT interphase voltage vrt in the following path.
Input current irt: 1st input end R → transformer Tr primary coil → FETQr → diode D9 → 3rd input end T

The input current ist flows through the primary coil of the transformer Ts in the following path due to the ST-phase voltage vst.
・ Input current ist: 2nd input end S → transformer Ts primary coil → FETQs → diode D9 → 3rd input end T

Here, the current that flows through the diode D9 and returns to the input side, such as the current that returns from the third input terminal T to the input side, is hereinafter referred to as "reflux". If there is no diode D9, the reflux returns from the FET Qt to the third input end T through the primary coil of the transformer Tt. Power loss occurs when reflux flows through the primary coil of the transformer Tt. Since the diode D9 is provided in this circuit, the reflux does not flow through the primary coil of the transformer Tt, so that no power loss is caused by the reflux.

[On period: Secondary side]
In FIG. 3, for convenience of explanation, the other ends of the secondary coils (winding ends in this example) of the transformers Tr, Ts, and Tt are set as points a, b, and c, respectively, and one end of the secondary coil common to the three transformers. Let (in this example, the winding start end) be point d. Further, the positive electrode output end P is defined as point f, and the negative electrode output end N is defined as point e. The f point is also one end of the smoothing capacitor C2. Point e is also the common end of the sub-capacitor C1 and the smoothing capacitor C2, and is the secondary side reference potential end.

FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the potential relationship between points a to f on the secondary side of the transformer during the on period. The operation of the secondary side of the transformer during the on-period will be described with reference to FIG.

In the steady state, the sub-capacitor C1 and the smoothing capacitor C2 are charged at predetermined voltage across the ends VC1 and VC2, respectively.

When the input current irt flows through the primary coil of the transformer Tr, an electromotive force Vr is generated in the secondary coil (“electromotive force” and “counter electromotive force” in the present specification are used in the meaning of voltage). The electromotive force Vr has a high potential on the d-point side and a low potential on the a-point side. Since the diode D1 has a reverse bias with respect to this electromotive force Vr, no current flows. On the other hand, the diode D4 conducts.

Here, the potential relationship diagram during the on-period shown in FIG. 4 is referred to. When the diode D4 conducts, the secondary coil a point of the transformer Tr becomes the same potential as the secondary reference potential end e point. When the electromotive force Vr of the transformer Tr exceeds the voltage VC1 across the sub-capacitor C1, the current iron during the on-period flows in the direction of charging the sub-capacitor C1 in the following path.
-Current iron: Transformer Tr secondary coil d point → Subcapacitor C1 → Diode D4 → Transformer Tr secondary coil a point

When the electromotive force Vr does not exceed the d-point potential at one end of the sub-capacitor C1, the current iron does not flow (see Vr'in FIG. 4).

When the input current ist flows through the primary coil of the transformer Ts, an electromotive force Vs is generated in the secondary coil. The electromotive force Vs has a high potential on the d point side and a low potential on the b point side. Since the diode D2 has a reverse bias with respect to the electromotive force Vs, no current flows. On the other hand, the diode D5 is conductive.

Here, the potential relationship diagram during the on-period shown in FIG. 4 is referred to. When the diode D5 conducts, the secondary coil b point of the transformer Ts becomes the same potential as the secondary reference potential end e point. When the electromotive force Vs of the transformer Ts exceeds the voltage VC1 across the sub-capacitor C1, the current ison during the on-period flows in the direction of charging the sub-capacitor C1 in the following path.
-Current ison: Transformer Ts secondary coil d point → Subcapacitor C1 → Diode D5 → Transformer Ts secondary coil b point

When the electromotive force Vs does not exceed the d-point potential at one end of the sub-capacitor C1, the current ison does not flow (see Vs' in FIG. 4).

Further, since no current flows through the primary coil of the transformer Tt, no electromotive force is generated in the secondary coil. No current flows through the secondary coil of the transformer Tt.

The supply current to the load is only the discharge current from the smoothing capacitor C2.

The operation during the on-period of this circuit can be summarized as follows. In a transformer in which an input current flows through the primary coil, an electromotive force is generated in the secondary coil, and when the generated electromotive force exceeds the voltage of the sub-capacitor, a current flows in the direction of charging the sub-capacitor. On the other hand, in a transformer in which no current flows through the primary coil, no current flows through the secondary coil.

In the normal forward method, magnetic energy is stored in the external choke coil during the on period, and in the normal flyback method, magnetic energy is stored in the transformer during the on period. On the other hand, in this circuit, energy is stored in the sub-capacitor C1 by the currents iron and ion flowing on the secondary side during the on period. As a result, this circuit does not require an external choke coil.

(2-3) Details of operation on the primary side and secondary side during the off period FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing the current flow (dotted line with an arrow) during the off period in the T mode in the circuit configuration of FIG. is there.

[Off period: Primary side]
On the primary side of the transformer, when the control signal Vg is turned off, FETQr, FETQs, and FETQt are all turned off and the switch is opened. Each current path of the primary coil of each transformer is cut off, and the current becomes zero. As a result, counter electromotive forces are generated in the primary coil and the secondary coil of the transformer Tr and Ts, respectively.

[Off period: Secondary side]
FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing the potential relationship between points a to f on the secondary side of the transformer during the off period. The operation on the secondary side during the off period will be described with reference to FIG.

The counter electromotive force Vr generated in the secondary coil of the transformer Tr is in the direction of low potential on the d point side and high potential on the a point side. Since the diode D4 has a reverse bias with respect to this counter electromotive force Vr, no current flows.

Here, the potential relationship diagram during the off period shown in FIG. 6 is referred to. When the secondary coil a point potential of the transformer Tr rises with respect to the d point potential due to the counter electromotive force Vr and exceeds the f point potential at one end (first output end P) of the smoothing capacitor C2, this counter electromotive force Vr As a result, the capacitor D1 becomes a forward bias and the current iroff flows in the following path.
-Current iroff: Transformer Tr secondary coil a point → Diode D1 → Load (or smoothing capacitor C2) → Sub capacitor C1 → Transformer Tr secondary coil d point

The counter electromotive force Vs generated in the secondary coil of the transformer Ts has a low potential on the d point side and a high potential on the b point side. Since the diode D5 has a reverse bias with respect to the counter electromotive force Vs, no current flows.

Here, the potential relationship diagram during the off period shown in FIG. 6 is referred to. When the secondary coil b point potential of the transformer Ts rises with respect to the d point potential due to the counter electromotive force Vs and exceeds the f point potential at one end (first output end P) of the smoothing capacitor C2, the counter electromotive force Vs As a result, the capacitor D2 becomes forward bias and the current isoff flows in the following path.
-Current isoff: Transformer Ts secondary coil b point → Diode D2 → Load (or smoothing capacitor C2) → Sub capacitor C1 → Transformer Ts secondary coil d point

The currents iroff and isoff during the off period flow in the direction of discharging the sub-capacitor C1. The currents iroff and isoff during the off period correspond to the flyback current in the flyback method. In the normal flyback method, the magnetic energy stored in the transformer is released, but in the case of this circuit, the energy stored in the sub-capacitor C1 is released.

Since no current flows through the primary coil of the transformer Tt during the on period, no counter electromotive force is generated during the off period, and no current flows during the off period.

The operation during the off period of this circuit is summarized as follows. In a transformer in which an input current flows through the primary coil during the on period, a counter electromotive force is generated in the secondary coil during the off period. The generated counter electromotive force is added to the voltage of the sub-capacitor. When the added voltage exceeds the voltage of the smoothing capacitor, a current flows through the load. On the other hand, in a transformer in which no current flows through the primary coil during the on period, no current flows during the off period.

As can be seen from the potential relationship during the off period in FIG. 6, the a-point potential or b-point potential when iroff or isoff flows is the voltage across the subcapacitor C1 VC1 and the counter electromotive force Vr or Vs with respect to the e-point potential. And are added.

The counter electromotive force generated in the secondary coils of the transformers Tr and Ts during the off period is suppressed by the voltage VC1 charged in the sub capacitor C1 during the on period, so that the counter electromotive force is smaller than that without the sub capacitor C1. As a result, the counter electromotive force generated on the primary side of the transformers Tr and Ts is also reduced, so that the withstand voltage required for the FETQr and FETQs on the primary side is reduced.

As described above, this circuit does not require an external choke coil in the normal forward system. Further, the sub-capacitor C1 and the diodes D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, and D9 are added as compared with the normal flyback method, but these are more advantageous than the choke coil in terms of cost and space.

Further, in this circuit, by providing the diode for reflux on the primary side, the reflux flows through the diode without flowing through the primary coil of the transformer and returns to the input end, so that the power loss of the transformer is reduced.
