Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention monitors a harmonic voltage superimposed on a power supply system and protects a phase advancing capacitor equipment from harmonic interference.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, with the spread of harmonic generating loads such as inverters, the voltage distortion of the power supply system has increased, and the damage to power equipment due to harmonics has increased.
Especially in phase-advancing capacitor equipment, an increase in the inflow of harmonic current into the phase-advancing capacitor circuit causes accidents such as overheating, burnout, or dielectric breakdown of the series reactor.

As one of the measures against the above, the current distortion rate or the harmonic current component of the phase advancing capacitor circuit is detected and monitored, and when the limit value is exceeded, an alarm is issued and the phase advancing capacitor facility is opened. Is being done.

[0004]

In the above-mentioned prior art, when the phase-advancing capacitor circuit is opened by the operation of the harmonic current alarm device, the subsequent current detection becomes impossible, and therefore, the re-starting and the re-operation are performed thereafter. There was a drawback that it was not possible to judge whether or not.

FIG. 2 shows an example in which a harmonic current alarm device is applied to a conventional phase-advancing capacitor circuit. In the phase-advancing capacitor equipment, a harmonic current is added to a circuit consisting of a phase-advancing capacitor, a series reactor and a switch. This device is equipped with an alarm device.This device detects the current of the phase advancing capacitor circuit with the current transformer for the instrument, and when the harmonic current amount increases and the phase advancing capacitor circuit is overloaded, it gives an alarm. The control signal is issued to open the switch.

In the above device, when the switch opens due to the operation of the harmonic current alarm device, the current in the phase-advancing capacitor circuit becomes zero, and it becomes impossible to monitor the harmonics thereafter, and it is judged whether or not the switch can be reclosed. There was a drawback that I could not.

Further, in general, a current transformer for an instrument is often not connected in a phase-advancing capacitor equipment, and when a harmonic current monitoring device is newly provided, it is necessary to install a current transformer for an instrument. was there.

In addition to the above-described current detection, a method of measuring only the voltage distortion rate of the power supply system and opening the switch to stop the phase advancing capacitor equipment when the voltage distortion rate exceeds the limit value is adopted. However, the number of harmonics included in the power supply system is not only a single one, but multiple harmonics are always combined, so the harmonics that flow into the phase-advancing capacitor equipment are also combined. In such a case, the loss of the capacitor and the series reactor varies greatly depending on each harmonic, and setting the single voltage distortion factor only or the method of setting only the combined voltage distortion factor protects the circuit. There was a need for a harmonic monitoring and control device that could not cooperate with each other and was capable of calculating the weighted average value of harmonic distortions of multiple orders and that had a more sophisticated calculation function.

[0014]

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The phase-advancing capacitor facility 13 is connected to the power supply system 11 via the switch 12. In the above circuit, the phase-advancing capacitor equipment harmonic protection device 14 is configured such that the instrument transformer 1 is connected to the power supply system 11 and the harmonic voltage signal is input to the A / D converter 2 and the A / D converter is This is converted into a digital signal and input to the memory unit 3, and the memory unit 3 stores this and outputs it to the arithmetic unit 5 at regular intervals. The calculation unit 5 performs fast Fourier analysis on the memory output signal to calculate the amount of harmonics (%) of each harmonic order contained in the power supply system, while the harmonic order selection unit 4 uses a single or multiple Is input to the arithmetic unit, and the arithmetic unit receives the above and outputs the above harmonic amount to the weighted integrated value of the current values of the selected harmonic orders (equivalent fifth harmonic current value). ) And output to the comparison unit 7. The comparing unit 7 determines the upper limit value of the permissible current amount of the phase advancing capacitor equipment connected to the power supply system as the permissible value setting unit 6
The input signal is input to the comparison unit 7 and is compared with the output signal output from the calculation unit. When the output signal of the calculation unit exceeds the set value, the operation signal is output to the control unit. In the control unit 9,
The response time of the switch 12 is set in advance by the response time setting unit 8, the control response time is delayed to an appropriate value, and the switch of the phase advancing capacitor facility is opened.

When the harmonics of the power supply system are reduced to a certain value or less, the output signal of the arithmetic unit is input to the control unit to reclose the switch 12, and by repeating this, overheating and burnout of the phase-advancing capacitor equipment are performed. Alternatively, dielectric breakdown can be prevented.

Generally, from the amount (%) of the harmonic voltage distortion rate of the power supply system, the formula for calculating the nth harmonic current Icn flowing into the phase advancing capacitor equipment connected to the power supply system is

[0017]

[Equation 1]

Therefore, for example, the inflowing nth harmonic current Icn when the compensation ratio of the series reactor of the phase advancing capacitor equipment to the phase advancing capacitor is 6%,

[0019]

[Equation 2]

The n-th harmonic current content (In%) can be calculated by

[0021]

(Equation 3)

From the harmonic voltage distortion rate (%),
It is possible to calculate the harmonic content rate (%) flowing into the phase-advancing capacitor equipment.

Next, when the compensation rate of the series reactor is 6%, the equivalent fifth harmonic content rate of the total harmonic current in the inflow of the combined harmonic currents of the plurality of orders is:

[0024]

[Equation 4]

For example, when a plurality of harmonics are converted into the fifth harmonic current content rate (%) and calculated, the series reactor allowable harmonic current content rate is 35% for the fifth harmonic according to the JIS standard. By setting 35% as the set value, it is possible to protect against multiple harmonics.

As described above, the phase-advancing capacitor equipment harmonic protection device for detecting and protecting the harmonic voltage of the present invention comprises:
When the compensation rate of the series reactor is 6%, the harmonic order setting unit 4 selects the value of Formula 4, the harmonic voltage is measured, and the calculation unit 5 uses the preset formula to set the phase-advancing capacitor equipment. The inflowing harmonic current is calculated, and if it exceeds a preset limit value preset by the tolerance setting unit 6, a control signal is output to protect the phase-advancing capacitor equipment.

When the compensation ratio of the series reactor of the phase advancing capacitor equipment is 8% or 13%, the amount of the inflowing harmonic current due to the harmonic voltage distortion ratio is different from the above 6%. The equivalent fifth harmonic current content rate (%) when the inflow harmonic is a total harmonic when the compensation output is calculated and output by a suitable calculation formula, for example, when the compensation rate is 8%,

[0028]

(Equation 5)

As in the case of the compensation rate of 6% for the series reactor, it is possible to convert the synthesized harmonics of a plurality of orders into the fifth harmonics. Further, the 8% series reactor allowable harmonic current content rate is 35% for the fifth harmonic according to the JIS standard, and setting 35% as the set value can protect against multiple harmonics.

As described above, in the device of the present invention, when the compensation rate of the series reactor is 8%, the formula 5 is selected in the harmonic order setting unit 4, and the harmonic voltage is measured to calculate the arithmetic unit 5. The harmonic current that flows into the phase-advancing capacitor equipment is calculated by the formula set in step 2.When the preset limit value set by the upper limit setting unit is exceeded, a control signal is output to protect the phase-advancing capacitor equipment. is there.

Further, the terminal voltage of the phase-advancing capacitor in this case becomes an overvoltage because each harmonic voltage is superposed on the fundamental wave voltage due to the inflow of the harmonic current, so that this terminal voltage is changed.

[0032]

(Equation 6)

When the result is calculated by the above, and the result exceeds the preset limit value set in advance in the upper limit value setting section, a control signal can be output to protect the phase advancing capacitor.

[0034]

According to the present invention, it is possible to re-operate the switch 12 after the open circuit, as compared with the conventional monitoring apparatus for only the harmonic current, and to compare with the monitoring for only the harmonic voltage distortion rate. The harmonic current content rate flowing into the phase advancing capacitor equipment can be calculated by the calculation formula set by the calculator 5 according to the compensation ratio of the series reactor, and if the preset limit value preset by the upper limit setting unit 6 is exceeded, the phase advance is advanced. If the capacitor equipment can be opened reliably and the harmonic current flowing into the phase advancing capacitor equipment is reduced below the allowable value, the switch can be reclosed, and harmonic interference of the phase advancing capacitor equipment can be restored. Can be reliably prevented, and there are some industrially and practically valuable things.
