Description

本発明は、無停電電源装置システムに関する。 The present invention relates to an uninterruptible power supply system.

無停電電源装置システムにおいて、システムの信頼性を向上させるために、複数の無停電電源装置を並列に接続して冗長運転させる方式が知られている(特許文献1)。 In an uninterruptible power supply system, in order to improve the reliability of the system, a method is known in which a plurality of uninterruptible power supplies are connected in parallel and operated redundantly (Patent Document 1).

図6は、特許文献1に記載された無停電電源装置システムの概略構成図である。図6において、複数の無停電電源装置(UPS)1-1~1-3は、並列に接続され、入力側には交流電源2が接続され、出力側には負荷3が接続されている。 FIG. 6 is a schematic configuration diagram of an uninterruptible power supply system described in Patent Document 1. In FIG. 6, a plurality of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) 1-1 to 1-3 are connected in parallel, an AC power source 2 is connected to the input side, and a load 3 is connected to the output side.

複数の無停電電源装置1-1~1-3は、交流電源2の交流を直流に変換するコンバータ11-1~11-3と、コンバータ11-1~11-3で変換された直流を交流に変換し変換された交流を負荷3に供給するインバータ12-1~12-3とで構成されている。 The plurality of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3 have converters 11-1 to 11-3 that convert the alternating current of the AC power supply 2 into direct current, and convert the direct current converted by the converters 11-1 to 11-3 into alternating current. It is composed of inverters 12-1 to 12-3 that convert the AC into AC and supply the converted AC to the load 3.

特許文献1では、図7に示すフローチャートに示すように、電力量合計が第1定格電力量合計よりも大きい場合に(ステップS52のYES)、インバータを起動する(ステップS53)。電力量合計が第1定格電力量合計よりも小さい場合に(ステップS52のNO)、第2定格電力量合計が電力量合計よりも大きいかどうかを判定する(ステップS54)。 In Patent Document 1, as shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, when the total electric energy is larger than the first total rated electric energy (YES in step S52), the inverter is started (step S53). If the total power amount is smaller than the first total rated power amount (NO in step S52), it is determined whether the second total rated power amount is larger than the total power amount (step S54).

第2定格電力量合計が電力量合計よりも大きい場合に(ステップS54のYES)、インバータを停止する(ステップS55)。このように、図7に示すフローチャートによって、無停電電源装置の運転制御を行い、システム全体の省エネを図っている。 When the second rated power total is larger than the power total (YES in step S54), the inverter is stopped (step S55). In this way, the operation of the uninterruptible power supply is controlled according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, and the energy saving of the entire system is achieved.

There is. In the case of the efficiency curve shown in FIG. 8(b), the system efficiency is higher when three uninterruptible power supplies are operated than when two uninterruptible power supplies are operated.

(第1の実施形態)
図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムの構成ブロック図である。図1に示す無停電電源装置システムは、複数の無停電電源装置1-1~1-3と、制御部15と、蓄電池4とを備えている。複数の無停電電源装置は、3つに限定されることなく、4つ以上であっても良い。
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a configuration block diagram of an uninterruptible power supply system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The uninterruptible power supply system shown in FIG. 1 includes a plurality of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3, a control unit 15, and a storage battery 4. The number of uninterruptible power supplies is not limited to three, and may be four or more.

複数の無停電電源装置1-1~1-3は、並列に接続され、負荷3に電力を供給する。制御部15は、複数の無停電電源装置1-1~1-3からの計測情報に基づき複数の無停電電源装置1-1~1-3の運転・停止を制御する。蓄電池4は、複数の無停電電源装置1-1~1-3に接続される。 The plurality of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3 are connected in parallel and supply power to the load 3. The control unit 15 controls operation/stop of the plurality of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3 based on measurement information from the plurality of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3. The storage battery 4 is connected to a plurality of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3.

複数の無停電電源装置1-1~1-3は、交流電源2の交流電力を直流電力に変換するコンバータ11-1~11-3と、コンバータ11-1~11-3で変換された直流電力又は蓄電池4からの直流電力を交流電力に変換して負荷3に供給するインバータ12-1~12-3を備えている。 The plurality of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3 include converters 11-1 to 11-3 that convert AC power from an AC power supply 2 to DC power, and DC power converted by the converters 11-1 to 11-3. It includes inverters 12-1 to 12-3 that convert electric power or DC power from the storage battery 4 into AC power and supply it to the load 3.

複数の無停電電源装置1-1~1-3は、負荷が必要とする電力を実際に稼働する常用器Nと予備器Mとの合計である稼働台数で供給し、且つ実際に稼働する常用器の台数を少なくとも1台以上で可変し、最も少ない総損失電力となる稼働台数で運転する。但し一般的には、予備器Mは通常1台から2台の固定とすることが多い。 The plurality of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3 supply the power required by the load in the number of units in operation, which is the total of the regular units N that are actually in operation and the standby units M, and The number of devices is varied to at least one, and operation is performed at the number of devices in operation that results in the least total power loss. However, in general, one to two spare units M are usually fixed.

制御部15は、無停電電源装置の効率カーブ(負荷率に対する効率を表す変換効率)をテーブル化したものを記憶し、変換効率と給電電力と消費電力に基づきシステムの総損失電力を算出し、総損失電力に基づき無停電電源装置の運転制御を行う。このため、制御部15は、メモリ21と、総損失電力算出部22と、総損失電力比較部23と、運転台数制御部24とを備えている。メモリ21は、図8(b)に示すような負荷率に対する効率を表す変換効率を記憶する。 The control unit 15 stores a table of the efficiency curve (conversion efficiency representing efficiency with respect to load factor) of the uninterruptible power supply, calculates the total power loss of the system based on the conversion efficiency, power supply, and power consumption, The operation of the uninterruptible power supply is controlled based on the total power loss. For this reason, the control section 15 includes a memory 21, a total power loss calculation section 22, a total power loss comparison section 23, and an operation number control section 24. The memory 21 stores conversion efficiency representing the efficiency with respect to the load factor as shown in FIG. 8(b).

総損失電力算出部22は、メモリ21に記憶された変換効率を読み出し、この変換効率と無停電電源装置1台当たりの給電電力と1台当たりの消費電力とに基づき、常用器Nと予備器Mとで構成される複数の無停電電源装置が稼働予定台数L台で負荷3に給電した場合のシステムの総損失電力を算出する。 The total loss power calculation unit 22 reads out the conversion efficiency stored in the memory 21, and calculates the power consumption of the regular unit N and the standby unit based on this conversion efficiency, the power supplied per uninterruptible power supply unit, and the power consumption per unit. The total power loss of the system is calculated when a plurality of uninterruptible power supplies configured by M supply power to the load 3 with L units scheduled to be operated.

総損失電力比較部23は、総損失電力算出部22で算出された稼働予定台数L台給電時の第1の総損失電力と、稼働予定台数L台を1台停止し稼働予定台数をL-1台とした時の給電時の第2の総損失電力とを比較する。 The total power loss comparison unit 23 calculates the first total power loss when power is supplied to the scheduled number of operating units L calculated by the total power loss calculation unit 22 and the number of scheduled operating units after stopping one unit of the scheduled operating number L. A comparison will be made with the second total power loss during power supply when one unit is used.

運転台数制御部24は、第1の総損失電力が第2の総損失電力より高い時は稼働予定台数を1台減じて総損失電力算出部22で総損失電力を算出し、第1の総損失電力が第2の総損失電力より低い時の台数を稼働台数Kに決定し、決定された稼働台数Kとなるように複数の無停電電源装置1-1~1-3を運転又は停止させる。 When the first total power loss is higher than the second total power loss, the operating unit number control unit 24 calculates the total power loss by subtracting the scheduled number of operating units by one, and calculates the total power loss by using the total power loss calculation unit 22. The number of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3 when the power loss is lower than the second total power loss is determined as the number of operating units K, and the plurality of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3 are operated or stopped so as to reach the determined number of operating units K. .

次に、このように構成された第1の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムの制御部15の処理を図2に示すフローチャートを参照しながら詳細に説明する。 Next, the processing of the control unit 15 of the uninterruptible power supply system according to the first embodiment configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 2.

ここでは、3台以上の無停電電源装置で構成される無停電電源装置システムにおいて、負荷電力が1台停止させてもインバータ給電可能な条件が成立した場合、以下の処理を行う。以下の例では、複数の無停電電源装置で構成される無停電電源装置システムを例示する。 Here, in an uninterruptible power supply system configured with three or more uninterruptible power supplies, if a condition is established that allows inverter power supply even if one load power is stopped, the following processing is performed. In the following example, an uninterruptible power supply system configured with a plurality of uninterruptible power supplies is illustrated.

まず、所定の台数の無停電電源装置を起動する(ステップS11)。この時負荷の容量が不明のときは最大台数を起動する。次に、制御部15は、以下の計算式(1)に従って、実システム容量を算出する。以下の説明では予備器はM台とする。 First, a predetermined number of uninterruptible power supplies are activated (step S11). At this time, if the load capacity is unknown, the maximum number of units will be activated. Next, the control unit 15 calculates the actual system capacity according to the following calculation formula (1). In the following explanation, it is assumed that there are M spare units.

実システム容量=システム容量×(稼働台数-予備器M)/(常用無停電電源装置台数)
システム容量=無停電電源装置容量×常用無停電電源装置台数 …(1)
即ち、制御部15は、実システム容量=無停電電源装置容量×(稼働台数-予備器M)を算出する(ステップS12)。
Actual system capacity = System capacity x (Number of operating units - Spare units M) / (Number of regular uninterruptible power supplies)
System capacity = uninterruptible power supply capacity x number of regular uninterruptible power supply units…(1)
That is, the control unit 15 calculates actual system capacity=uninterruptible power supply capacity×(number of operating units−backup unit M) (step S12).

制御部15は、実システム容量が実負荷容量よりも大きいかどうかを判定する(ステップS13)。実システム容量が実負荷容量よりも大きい場合には(ステップS13のYES)、総損失電力算出部22は、メモリ21から読み出した変換効率と無停電電源装置1台当たりの給電電力と1台当たりの消費電力とに基づき、常用器Nと予備器Mとで構成される複数の無停電電源装置が稼働予定台数L台で負荷3に給電した場合のシステムの総損失電力を算出する(ステップS14)。 The control unit 15 determines whether the actual system capacity is larger than the actual load capacity (step S13). If the actual system capacity is larger than the actual load capacity (YES in step S13), the total power loss calculation unit 22 calculates the conversion efficiency read from the memory 21, the power supplied per uninterruptible power supply, and the power per uninterruptible power supply. The total power loss of the system is calculated based on the power consumption of the load 3 when a plurality of uninterruptible power supplies consisting of the regular unit N and the standby unit M supply power to the load 3 with L units scheduled to operate (step S14). ).

具体的には、総損失電力算出部22は、以下に示す計算式(2)により無停電電源装置1台当たりの給電電力を算出する。 Specifically, the total power loss calculation unit 22 calculates the power to be supplied per uninterruptible power supply using the calculation formula (2) shown below.

2台で給電した場合、1台当たりの給電電力Pout=Pload/2
(L-1)台で給電した場合、1台当たりの給電電力
PoutL-1=Pload/(L-1)
L台で給電した場合、1台当たりの給電電力
Pout =Pload/L …(2)
ここで、Ploadは負荷電力である。
When two units supply power, the power supplied per unit Pout 2 = Pload/2
When power is supplied from (L-1) units, the power supplied per unit Pout L-1 = Pload/(L-1)
When power is supplied from L units, the power supplied per unit Pout L = Pload/L … (2)
Here, Pload is load power.

次に、総損失電力算出部22は、以下に示す計算式(3)により無停電電源装置1台当たりの消費電力を算出する。 Next, the total loss power calculation unit 22 calculates the power consumption per uninterruptible power supply device using calculation formula (3) shown below.

2台で給電した場合、1台当たりの消費電力
Ploss=((1/η)-1)×Pout
(L-1)台で給電した場合、1台当たりの消費電力
Ploss(L-1)=((1/η)-1)×Pout(L-1)
L台で給電した場合、1台当たりの消費電力
Ploss=((1/η)-1)×Pout …(3)
ここで、ηは、予め測定された情報で、メモリ21に記憶されたPoutでの変換効率である。
When power is supplied by two units, power consumption per unit Ploss 2 = ((1/η)-1) × Pout 2
When power is supplied from (L-1) units, power consumption per unit Ploss (L-1) = ((1/η)-1) × Pout (L-1)
When power is supplied from L units, power consumption per unit Ploss L = ((1/η)-1) × Pout L … (3)
Here, η is information measured in advance and is the conversion efficiency at Pout stored in the memory 21.

次に、総損失電力算出部22は、以下に示す計算式(4)によりシステムの総損失電力を算出する。 Next, the total power loss calculation unit 22 calculates the total power loss of the system using the calculation formula (4) shown below.

2台で給電した場合のシステムの総損失電力
Plossall=Ploss×2
(L-1)台で給電した場合のシステムの総損失電力
Plossall(L-1)=Ploss (L-1) ×(L-1)
L台で給電した場合のシステムの総損失電力
Plossall=Ploss ×L …(4)
Total power loss of the system when power is supplied by two units Plossall 2 = Ploss 2 × 2
Total power loss of the system when power is supplied by (L-1) units Plossall (L-1) = Ploss (L-1) × (L-1)
Total power loss of the system when power is supplied by L units Plossall L = Ploss L × L … (4)

次に、総損失電力比較部23は、総損失電力算出部22で算出されたL台給電時の総損失電力と(L-1)台給電時の総損失電力とを比較する(ステップS15)。L台給電時の総損失電力が(L-1)台給電時の総損失電力よりも小さい場合には(ステップS15のYES)、複数の無停電電源装置を稼働台数Kに決定する(ステップS17)。 Next, the total power loss comparator 23 compares the total power loss when feeding L units calculated by the total power loss calculation unit 22 with the total power loss when feeding (L-1) units (step S15). . If the total power loss when powering L units is smaller than the total power loss when powering (L-1) units (YES in step S15), the number of operating units of a plurality of uninterruptible power supplies is determined to be K (step S17). ).

一方、L台給電時の総損失電力が(L-1)台給電時の総損失電力よりも大きい場合には稼働台数を減らして総損失電力が小さくなる可能性が有る。そこで、ステップS15のNOの場合は、稼働予定台数L台を1台減らし(ステップS16)、再びステップS14及びステップS15にて、L台給電時の総損失電力とL-1)台給電時の総損失電力を比較する。L台給電時の総損失電力が(L-1)台給電時の総損失電力よりも小さくなるか、又は常用器が稼働する台数が1台になるまでステップS14、ステップS15、ステップS16を繰り返し、稼働台数Kを決定する。 On the other hand, if the total power loss when feeding L units is larger than the total power loss when feeding (L-1) units, there is a possibility that the number of operating units may be reduced to reduce the total power loss. Therefore, in the case of NO in step S15, the scheduled number of operating units L is reduced by one (step S16), and in step S14 and step S15 again, the total power loss when powering L units and the total power loss when powering L-1) units are calculated. Compare the total power loss. Repeat steps S14, S15, and S16 until the total power loss when powering L units becomes smaller than the total power loss when powering (L-1) units, or the number of regular appliances in operation becomes one. , determine the number of operating machines K.

このように、運転台数制御部24は、L台給電時の総損失電力が(L-1)台給電時の総損失電力よりも小さくなったときのL台を稼働台数Kに決定し(ステップS17)、決定された稼働台数Kとなるように複数の無停電電源装置を運転又は停止させる(ステップS18)。 In this way, the operating number control unit 24 determines L units as the operating number K when the total power loss when L units are being powered is smaller than the total power loss when (L-1) units are being powered (step S17), the plurality of uninterruptible power supplies are operated or stopped so that the determined number of operating units K is reached (step S18).

従って、システムの総損失電力が最小となる台数の無停電電源装置で運転できる。このため、システムの効率を向上することができる。 Therefore, the system can be operated with the number of uninterruptible power supplies that minimize the total power loss. Therefore, the efficiency of the system can be improved.

なお、ステップS13において、実システム容量が実負荷容量よりも小さい場合には、全ての無停電電源装置を運転する(ステップS19)。 Note that in step S13, if the actual system capacity is smaller than the actual load capacity, all uninterruptible power supplies are operated (step S19).

なお、上記第1の実施の形態では、制御部15は、複数の無停電電源装置1-1~1-3を停止させる場合、コンバータ11-1~11-3とインバータ12-1~12-3を停止させたが、例えば、インバータ12-1~12-3のみを停止させてよい。 Note that in the first embodiment, when stopping the plurality of uninterruptible power supplies 1-1 to 1-3, the control unit 15 stops the converters 11-1 to 11-3 and the inverters 12-1 to 12-. Although inverters 12-1 to 12-3 are stopped, for example, only inverters 12-1 to 12-3 may be stopped.

(第2の実施形態)
図3は、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムの構成ブロック図である。第2の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムにおいて、図3に示す制御部15aが、図1に示す制御部15の構成にさらに、カウンタ25と、時間判定部26とを備える点が異なる。
(Second embodiment)
FIG. 3 is a configuration block diagram of an uninterruptible power supply system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the uninterruptible power supply system according to the second embodiment, the control section 15a shown in FIG. 3 differs from the configuration of the control section 15 shown in FIG. 1 in that it further includes a counter 25 and a time determination section 26.

カウンタ25は、稼働台数K台の無停電電源装置が決定されると、時間をカウントする。時間判定部26は、カウンタ25でカウントされた時間が指定時間を超えたかどうかを判定し、カウントされた時間が指定時間を超えた場合には、総損失電力算出部22に対して総損失を算出させる。 The counter 25 counts time when the operating number K of uninterruptible power supply devices is determined. The time determination unit 26 determines whether or not the time counted by the counter 25 exceeds the specified time, and if the counted time exceeds the specified time, the time determination unit 26 reports the total loss to the total power loss calculation unit 22. Have it calculated.

次に、このように構成された第2の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムの制御部15aの処理を図4に示すフローチャートを参照しながら詳細に説明する。 Next, the processing of the control unit 15a of the uninterruptible power supply system according to the second embodiment configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

ステップS12~S18の処理は、図2に示すステップS12~S18の処理と同じであるので、ここでは、ステップS21~S24の処理のみを説明する。 Since the processing in steps S12 to S18 is the same as the processing in steps S12 to S18 shown in FIG. 2, only the processing in steps S21 to S24 will be described here.

まず、所定の台数の無停電電源装置を起動する(ステップS21)。次に、制御部15aは、稼働台数K台の無停電電源装置の給電電力が現負荷に給電できるかどうかを判定する(ステップS22)。 First, a predetermined number of uninterruptible power supplies are activated (step S21). Next, the control unit 15a determines whether the power supplied by the operating number K of uninterruptible power supplies can be supplied to the current load (step S22).

稼働台数K台の無停電電源装置の給電電力が現負荷に給電できる場合には(ステップS22のYES)、カウンタ25は、時間をカウントする(ステップS23)。 When the power supplied by the operating number K of uninterruptible power supplies can be supplied to the current load (YES in step S22), the counter 25 counts the time (step S23).

次に、時間判定部26は、カウンタ25でカウントされた時間が指定時間を超えたかどうかを判定する(ステップS24)。カウントされた時間が指定時間を超えた場合には(ステップS24のYES)、ステップS12の処理に進む。即ち、総損失電力算出部22が総損失電力を算出する。 Next, the time determination unit 26 determines whether the time counted by the counter 25 exceeds the designated time (step S24). If the counted time exceeds the specified time (YES in step S24), the process proceeds to step S12. That is, the total power loss calculation unit 22 calculates the total power loss.

カウントされた時間が指定時間を超えない場合には(ステップS24のNO)、ステップS21の処理に戻る。また、ステップS22において、稼働台数K台の無停電電源装置の給電電力で現負荷に給電できない場合には(ステップS22のNO)、全ての無停電電源装置を運転させる(ステップS25)。 If the counted time does not exceed the specified time (NO in step S24), the process returns to step S21. Further, in step S22, if the current load cannot be supplied with the power supplied by the operating number K of uninterruptible power supplies (NO in step S22), all the uninterruptible power supplies are operated (step S25).

このように第2の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムによれば、指定時間毎に、ステップS12における実システム容量の算出、ステップS14におけるシステムの総損失電力を算出するので、現状の負荷の状態に応じて、システムの総損失電力が最小となる台数の無停電電源装置で運転できる。このため、システムの効率を向上することができる。 As described above, according to the uninterruptible power supply system according to the second embodiment, the actual system capacity is calculated in step S12 and the total power loss of the system is calculated in step S14 at each specified time, so that the current load can be calculated. Depending on the situation, the system can be operated with the number of uninterruptible power supplies that minimize the total power loss. Therefore, the efficiency of the system can be improved.

(第3の実施形態)
図5は、本発明の第3の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムの制御部の処理を示すフローチャートである。第3の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムは、第2の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムの図4に示すフローチャートに、さらに、ステップS22とステップS23との間に、ステップS26の処理を追加した点が異なる。
(Third embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing of the control unit of the uninterruptible power supply system according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The uninterruptible power supply system according to the third embodiment further includes the processing of step S26 between step S22 and step S23 in addition to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 of the uninterruptible power supply system according to the second embodiment. The difference is that .

ここでは、ステップS26の処理のみを説明する。現在時刻の負荷電力と現在時刻よりも所定時間前、例えば1秒前の負荷電力とを比較する(ステップS26)。現在時刻の負荷電力と現在時刻よりも1秒前の負荷電力とが同一値である場合には(ステップS26のYES)、ステップS23の処理に進む。 Here, only the process of step S26 will be explained. The load power at the current time is compared with the load power at a predetermined time before, for example, one second before the current time (step S26). If the load power at the current time and the load power 1 second before the current time are the same value (YES in step S26), the process proceeds to step S23.

一方、現在時刻の負荷電力と現在時刻よりも1秒前の負荷電力とが同一値でない場合には(ステップS26のNO)、ステップS21の処理に戻る。 On the other hand, if the load power at the current time and the load power 1 second before the current time are not the same value (NO in step S26), the process returns to step S21.

このように第3の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムによれば、現在時刻の負荷電力と現在時刻よりも1秒前の負荷電力とが同一値でない場合には、負荷の急変により、負荷電力が変化した場合に、無停電電源装置の稼働台数を適切に変更することができる。1秒前は、負荷電力が変化したことを検出できれば、使用条件に応じて時間を任意に変更しても良い。 As described above, according to the uninterruptible power supply system according to the third embodiment, if the load power at the current time and the load power 1 second before the current time are not the same value, the load When the power changes, the number of operating uninterruptible power supplies can be changed appropriately. As long as it is possible to detect that the load power has changed, the time may be changed arbitrarily depending on the usage conditions.

なお、本発明は、第1乃至第3の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムに限定されるものではない。第1乃至第3の実施形態に係る無停電電源装置システムにおいて、制御部15,15aは、各無停電電源装置の稼働時間を計算し、稼働時間が最も長い無停電電源装置を停止候補順位を第1順位とする。図2、図4、図5において、無停電電源装置を停止する条件が成立した場合、稼働時間が最も長い無停電電源装置を停止させてもよい。 Note that the present invention is not limited to the uninterruptible power supply system according to the first to third embodiments. In the uninterruptible power supply system according to the first to third embodiments, the control units 15, 15a calculate the operating time of each uninterruptible power supply, and rank the uninterruptible power supply with the longest operating time as a candidate for shutdown. Ranked first. In FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, when the conditions for stopping the uninterruptible power supply are satisfied, the uninterruptible power supply having the longest operating time may be stopped.
