Description

Generator excitation system dually controlled by pulse width modulation (PPM) method and control method thereof

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a generator excitation system and a control method thereof. In particular, when performing an operation of controlling the terminal voltage of a generator by one of the redundant excitation systems, the terminal voltage control signals respectively output from the redundant excitation system Is applied as the automatic voltage reference signal of each system, if there is a difference between the automatic voltage reference signal applied to the active excitation system and the automatic voltage reference signal applied to the standby excitation system, the pulse width modulation method The present invention relates to a generator excitation system and a method of controlling the same, wherein the automatic voltage reference signal of the operating excitation system and the automatic voltage reference signal of the standby excitation system are matched to each other so as to be redundant by a pulse width modulation scheme.

In general, the generator excitation system that controls the terminal voltage of the generator is mainly adopted a redundant automatic tracking method to improve the reliability, the redundant system adopting the following method is the main controller is in charge of the control of the entire system and a failure occurs in the main controller When the sub-controller following the control signal of the main controller is switched to the main controller, the excitation system completes the initial excitation when the generator is under no voltage. Once established, the generator terminal voltage is adjusted to the set value of the automatic control setter by controlling the firing angle of the thyristors controlled rectifier by receiving the power generated from the generator as an excitation input power through the step-down transformer. It is supposed to be controlled. And, in case of failure of the automatic control system, it is possible to control the generator terminal voltage manually.In the case of manual control, the firing angle control through the firing angle control unit receives the manual control signal and returns to the value set by the manual control setter. The manual control unit controls the firing angle of the thyristors controlled rectifier manually.

The configuration of the conventional generator excitation system will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a synchronous generator stationary excitation system according to a conventional embodiment, and shows a configuration of an excitation system for controlling a terminal voltage of a generator by a 1 controller + 1 Phase Controlled Rectifier (PCR) scheme. Referring to FIG. 1, the terminal voltage generated by the generator 15 is fed back to the generator 15 by the redundant firing angle control units 100 and 200, and the output voltage of the generator is kept constant by the feedback signal. The firing angle control unit (100, 200) through the comparator 30, the filter 50 and the amplifier (60) for comparing the automatic control set value 80 after the voltage drop of the output voltage of the generator (15) It is configured to control the firing angle of the thyristors 70, and when manually set by the manual / automatic switching switch 40 operates manually to the manual control set value (90).

This configuration is used when the amount of current flowing into the field of the generator 15 is within the rated current limit of the thyristors manufacturer, and each controller controls each of the rectifier circuit sections so that when one channel is abnormal and stopped, the other is normal. The channel is designed to cover all of the current flowing through the generator. However, since the rated field current of 300MW or more generator requires a current of 3000 [A] or more, there is a disadvantage in that the rectifier capacity is insufficient in such a configuration.

On the other hand, Figure 2 is a configuration diagram for a synchronous generator stationary excitation system according to another conventional embodiment, the configuration of the excitation system for controlling the terminal voltage of the generator by 1 controller + n Phase Controlled Rectifier (PCR) scheme is shown However, referring to FIG. 2, control signals of the main controller 110 are sent to the N PCRs 130 to operate. When an abnormality occurs in the main controller 110, the sub-controller 120 was followed. The channel is switched to normal operation.

In order to use such a controller, a monitoring circuit unit for monitoring a controller's normal state, a channel switching switch for quick channel switching, and a following control circuit following a normal control signal when the main controller is in normal operation are required.

The excitation system for a generator as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a method in which a sub-controller following a control signal of a main controller is switched to a main controller and operated. The conventional redundant system is designated and operated as a main controller. Since the following time setting value of the sub-controller that automatically follows the controller is often inappropriate, the sub-controller following at the time of the occurrence of the abnormal signal of the main controller also often follows the abnormal signal in a short time.

Therefore, in order to prevent this phenomenon, digital circuit has used N-order delay function and analog circuit has used the method of delaying the abnormal signal of main controller by using resistance and capacitor time constant. If you modify the control card had to replace the hassle.

Therefore, in the present invention, by using the pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit in the tracking control to compensate for the above disadvantages, it is possible to freely adjust the period of the sawtooth generator to free the selection range of the tracking time, and to the main control unit without replacing the card The present invention provides a generator excitation system that is dually controlled by a pulse width modulation (PWM) method for modifying a delay time of a secondary control unit and a control method thereof.

The generator excitation system redundantly controlled by the pulse width modulation method provided by the present invention includes a control unit configured to output a control signal for automatically or manually setting a control signal for controlling the terminal voltage of the generator, and outputting from the redundant control unit. And a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit for matching each control signal to be controlled by a pulse width modulation scheme and then feeding the matched control signal back to the automatic voltage reference signal of each of the redundant control units. The method is adapted to control the terminal voltage of a generator by one of the redundant excitation systems, when the terminal voltage control signals respectively output from the redundant excitation system are applied to the automatic voltage reference signal of each system. Automatic voltage reference signal applied to active excitation system and on standby excitation By comparing the automatic voltage reference signal applied to the system, if there is a difference, the automatic voltage reference signal of the operating excitation system and the automatic voltage reference signal of the standby excitation system are matched by the pulse width modulation method to follow the controller. (follow up) It is easy to change the time, the control method is simple and easy to use.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in more detail the redundant control system and method of the present invention.

3 is a configuration diagram of a generator excitation system redundantly controlled according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a configuration diagram for a PWM circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, referring to FIG. Generator excitation system of the present invention is composed of a redundancy control unit (310, 320) for controlling to automatically set the terminal voltage of the generator using the feedback signal of the signal output from each of the automatic voltage reference signal, and the redundancy The generator protection and channel switching circuit 340 for monitoring the state information of the control unit 310, 320 so that the master control unit and the slave control unit is switched in the event of an abnormal operation of the master control unit, and the master control unit and the slave control unit 340 Compare the output signals returned to each automatic voltage reference signal, and if the difference is more than a certain range, the pulse width modulation (PWM) method It consists of a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit 330 that controls to match the signals by means of an equation.

At this time, the control unit 310 is a channel follower selection circuit 311 for selecting whether to operate / standby the A channel or B channel under the control of the generator protection and channel switching circuit 340, and the feedback of the generator terminal voltage The adder 313 sums the signal PT, the V / Hz signal and the automatic voltage reference signal 312 input through the pulse width modulation circuit, and the voltage applied to the generator by the output value of the adder 313. A voltage control circuit 314 comprising a proportional, differential, and integral circuit, a feedback signal CT of a generator field current, an output of the voltage controller 314, and a manually set manual voltage reference signal 317. Adder 316 to add up, a current control circuit 318 for outputting a control signal for controlling the terminal voltage of the generator by the output value of the adder 316, and a control signal for controlling the terminal voltage of the generator To be set automatically Determining whether or not is the automatic / manual selector 315.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 4A, the PWM circuit 330 compares respective signals (A-channel control signal, B-channel control signal) output from the control unit duplexed to the master and slave, and outputs a difference value. When the output value of the first comparator 331 and the first comparator 331 is within a predetermined range, a '0' is outputted, and a signal fed back to the slave controller is raised to match the automatic voltage reference signal of the redundant controller. The slave control unit by comparing the dead band circuit 332 for outputting an identification signal for determining whether to lower or lower, the sawtooth wave generator 333 for generating the sawtooth wave, and the output signals of the sawtooth wave and the dead band circuit 332. The second comparator 334 which determines the rise or fall time of the signal fed back to the signal, the result of comparing the second comparator 334 and the identification signal of the dead band circuit 332 are analyzed The comparison value detector 335 outputs a control signal for raising (R) or lowering (L) the signal fed back to the slave controller for a time determined by the second comparator 334.

At this time, if the system uses the A channel 310 as the main controller of the duplicated controllers 310 and 320, the B channel 320 operates as a follower circuit, and the A channel control output signal and the B channel control output signal. Is used as an input signal of the PWM circuit 330 to adjust the value of the automatic voltage reference signal of the B channel 320 currently being followed.

On the contrary, when the B channel 320 is operated as the main controller, the A channel 310 follows the control by the PWM control signal and adjusts the automatic voltage reference signal of the channel to make the control output signal of the two channels the same. It is automatically adjusted so that the value of the control signal does not change.

The internal operation of the PWM circuit 330 is shown in FIG. 4B. Referring to FIG. 4B, when the automatic voltage reference signal applied to the slave controller is to be raised, the output of the dead bend circuit is compared for the time t when the output of the dead bend circuit is greater than that of the sawtooth wave. The automatic voltage reference signal applied to the slave controller is raised while the following pulse signal is in the on state.

Briefly describing the redundant control method of the present invention, the sum of the output control signal of the exciting excitation system and the output control signal of the standby excitation system and the sawtooth wave by the sawtooth generator is compared to the sum of the respective output control signals. Increasing the value of the automatic voltage reference signal applied to the standby excitation system when it is greater than the sawtooth wave, and decreasing the value of the automatic voltage reference signal applied to the standby excitation system when the sum of each output control signal is smaller than the sawtooth wave. In this case, a control signal range of about 10 [V] controls several tens of [KV] of the generator terminal voltage, so that a slight change in the control signal can cause a significant change in the output voltage. Accordingly, it is advantageous to use the PWM method of controlling the automatic voltage setter correction operation width of the controller to be followed according to the input signal value, rather than the following control having a certain amount of control width.

Meanwhile, FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a duplication control method of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, in the duplication control method of the present invention, first, when power is supplied to the system (s501), the system A and the system B are duplicated. It receives the state of (s502) and checks whether the automatic control of the system A and B is normal (s503). If any one of the systems operates abnormally, the abnormal system is activated (s503), and then one of the two systems is selected (s505).

At this time, if system A is selected, while maintaining the channel of system A (s506), the channel control signal of system A and the channel control signal of the following system B are compared (s507), so that the channel control signal of system A is further increased. If large, process the rising command (s508) for the system B channel automatic voltage reference signal, and if the channel control signals of the system A and the system B are the same, perform the stop command (s509) for the channel automatic voltage reference signal of the system B; When the channel control signal of the system A is smaller than the channel control signal of the system B, the system B channel automatic voltage reference signal drop command s510 is performed.

If an alarm occurs in the system A channel (s511), the system B channel is automatically operated after automatically switching to the system B channel (s512). When an alarm occurs in the system B channel (s514), the system B channel is manually operated until the system is stopped (s516) (s515).

In addition, when the system B channel is selected in the channel selection step s505, a similar series of processes s517 to s527 are performed.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, an operation example of the generator excitation system according to this configuration will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the rising signal Raise of the PWM circuit 330 is automatically applied to the channel A 310. Connect the rising signal R of the reference signal and the falling signal L of the automatic voltage reference signal of the channel B 320, and the falling signal Lower of the PWM circuit 330 to the automatic voltage of the channel A 310. The rising signal L of the reference signal and the rising signal R of the automatic voltage reference signal of the channel B 320 are connected to each other.

When the channel A is operated as a master, the difference value is 1V when the signal applied as the automatic voltage reference signal of the channel A is 5V, and the signal applied as the automatic voltage reference signal of the channel B is 4V. Since the signal applied to the automatic voltage reference signal of the channel B should be increased by 1V, the output value of the dead band circuit 332 is + 1V and is input to the rising signal R of the channel B to raise the automatic voltage reference signal.

On the other hand, when the voltage applied as the automatic voltage reference signals of the channels A and B is the same as above, and the channel A is operated as a slave, the dead band circuit should be lowered by 1V applied as the automatic voltage reference signal of the channel A. An output value of 332 is + 1V and is input to the falling signal L of the channel A to lower the automatic voltage reference signal.

The apparatus and method of the present invention can be manually switched to A / B operation during normal operation of the system, but when one of two channels fails, the automatic switching to the system in normal operation is performed. Even if the generator output voltage changes greatly, if the difference between the output control signals of the two channels occurs by using the PWM method, the following signal should match the signal of the controller that is being followed so that it does not affect the generator. There was no signal fluctuation when switching to the normal channel following.

Therefore, it is possible to adjust the generator terminal voltage by driving the excitation system more stably, it is easy to change the tracking time of the following controller and the control method is simple and easy to use.
