Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dc power source for a high voltage power apparatus connected to a high voltage electrical power system, the dc power source comprising one or more strings including a plurality of dc power source members connected in series, and switches configured to connect and disconnect the strings.
- a high voltage electrical power system should be understood an electrical system within the range of 3 kV and upwards, preferably in the range of 10 kV and upwards.
- a dc power source should be understood dc power source members connected in series to be within the range of 3 kV and upwards.
- a power apparatus is meant an apparatus that is capable of controlling reactive power and/or active power. Examples of power apparatus are a power compensator and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
- UPS uninterruptible power supply
- a STATCOM comprises a voltage source converter (VSC) having an AC side connected to a high voltage electrical power system and a DC side connected to a temporary electric power storage means such as capacitors.
- VSC voltage source converter
- the STATCOM can supply reactive power to or absorb reactive power from the transmission line.
- Another concept is to connect a dc power source to a compact STATCOM, and thus being able to perform active power compensation.
- the construction may be used e.g. as a spinning reserve and for compensating for fluctuating energy levels in the power system.
- the dc power source is a high voltage battery. Since the power apparatus is connected to the ac voltage of the high voltage electrical power system, a plurality of battery cells have to be connected in series to match the dc voltage of the power apparatus. Moreover, to obtain the desired active power and duration of the energy storage, a number of strings including a plurality of battery cells must be connected in parallel.
- a solid-state switch is an electronic switch that, unlike a mechanical breaker, contains no moving parts.
- a problem with most of the commercially available solid-state switches is that they become an open-ci rcuit when failed, which means that if the solid-state switch fails, the string which includes the failed switch will be disconnected . As a consequence the dc power source will have its capability significantly reduced .
- this object is achieved by a dc power source as defined in claim 1.
- the dc power source according to the invention is characterized in that - one or more strings in the dc power source includes a plurality of dc power source units connected in series and solid-state switches configured to connect and disconnect the strings,
- each switch is connected in parallel with a first controllable semiconductor in a first direction and connected in parallel with a second controllable semiconductor in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction, and
- the dc power source comprises a control unit configured to bypass a failed switch by triggering the forward biased of the first or second controllable semiconductor connected to the failed switch in case a fault in the switch is detected.
- An advantage with the dc power source according to the invention is that the resulting current path when a failed switch has been bypassed enables the dc power source to remain in operation as long as redundant switches are available. Another advantage is that the dc power source is more robust and easier to maintain. Moreover, since the solid-state switches are distributed in the string it is possible to reduce the total voltage rating of the switches by 50 percent since in case mechanical dc circuit breakers are used both the breakers must have a breaking capability that equals the entire voltage across the dc power source to be able to disconnect the dc power source from the positive and negative dc rail, respectively.
- a dc power source member is meant a small entity capable of providing dc power, such as a battery cell, a photovoltaic cell, a fuel cell, a flywheel or a super capacitor.
- a battery cell a photovoltaic cell
- a fuel cell a fuel cell
- a flywheel a super capacitor.
- Different types of dc power source members could also be combined in the dc power source.
- All switches in the string are arranged so that they are turned on and off simultaneously, implying that each switch only has to withstand its corresponding part of the voltage across the dc power source when the string is disconnected. This embodiment eliminates the risk for causing over voltages due to some switches turn off earlier than other in the string.
- each solid-state switch comprises a controllable semiconductor.
- the solid-state switch is, for example, an Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT).
- IGBT Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor
- each switch is provided with a gate control unit configured to detect a fault in the switch and to bypass the switch by triggering the forward biased of the first or second controllable semiconductor connected to the switch upon detecting a fault in the switch.
- the controllable semiconductor is an Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)
- IGBT Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor
- the dc power source members are battery cells. By using battery cells as dc power source members it is possible to charge the high voltage dc power source with energy at occasions when there is excessive power available in the high voltage electrical power system, to be used at other occasions when there is a deficit of power in the system.
- a series-connection for example such as the string described above, comprises a plurality of solid-state switches it is a desired feature that failing solid-state switches become stable short-circuits rather than open circuits. By this feature the remaining system can continue operating, even though one or more switches have failed, as long as one or more redundant switches are provided.
- short-circuit failure mode devices devices which have an inherent ability to conduct in the failed (shorted) state.
- functionalities and intelligence have been integrated in the modules, e.g. over-current protection, thermal protection, current chopping e.t.c.
- An advantage with the present invention is its ability to combine the advantageous properties of the IGBT devices being an open-circuit when failed mentioned above with those advantageous properties related to solid-state switches that become stable short-circuits.
- each switch comprises a plurality of interconnected controllable semiconductors.
- semiconductors is a plurality of controllable semiconductors
- the plurality of interconnected controllable semiconductors is a plurality of controllable semiconductors connected in parallel. This feature makes it possible to use controllable semiconductors with voltage ratings that are high enough even though its current ratings are below the requisite.
- this object is achieved by a method as defined in claim 6.
- Such a method comprises the following steps:
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a dc power source i n accordance with the present invention
- Figure 2a shows a schematic figure of a solid-state switch and parallel-connected thyristors
- Figure 2b shows a schematic figure of a solid-state switch
- Figure 2c shows a schematic figure of a solid-state switch
- FIG. 1 shows a dc power source 3 for a high voltage power apparatus 1 connected to a high voltage electrical power system 19 according to an embodiment of the invention .
- Examples of high voltage power apparatus are a power compensator and an uninterruptible power supply (U PS) .
- High voltage electrical power systems can be networks for transmission or distribution of electrical energy as well as industries, hospitals and such .
- the same reference numerals are used throughout the figures for same or corresponding parts.
- the power apparatus 1 comprises a high voltage dc power source 3 and a voltage source converter 2. To be able to produce and absorb not only reactive power but also active power, the dc power source 3 is connected to the dc side of the voltage source converter 2. The ac side of the converter is connected to the high voltage electrical power system 19.
- the dc power source 3 comprises one or more strings 4a-c connected in parallel, the number of strings depending on the desired amount of active power. In the example illustrated in figure 1, three strings 4a-c are shown. Each string 4a-c comprises a plurality of dc power source units 8, 10, 12. The dc power source units 8, 10, 12 in turn comprises a plurality of series-connected dc power source members (not shown in figure 1 ) . The total number of dc power source members in each string 4a-c depends on the voltage level of the voltage source converter 2 to which they are connected and the voltage level of the dc power source members used in the string 4a- c.
- the dc power source members can be of different types, such as battery cells, photovoltaic cells, fuel cells and super capacitors. These different types could also be combined .
- each string 4a-c a plurality of solid-state switches 7, 9, 1 1 , 13 are distributed among dc power source units 8, 10, 12.
- solid-state switches are IGBTs, GTOs, IGCTs and MOSFETs.
- Each dc power source unit 8, 10, 12 is provided with a solid-state switch 9, 1 1 , 13 configured to connect and disconnect the corresponding dc power source unit 8, 10, 12.
- the voltage of the dc power source units 8, 10, 12 is adapted to be below the breaking capability of the switches 9, 1 1 , 13.
- All switches 7, 9, 1 1 , 13 in the string are arranged so that they are turned on and off simultaneously, implying that each switch 7, 9, 1 1 , 13 only has to withstand the voltage over its corresponding dc power source unit 8, 10, 12 when the string 4a- c is disconnected .
- Each switch 7, 9, 11 , 13 comprises a controllable semiconductor, in this embodiment a transistor 14 having collector, an emitter and a gate, and a rectifying member, in this embodiment a diode 15, which is connected in anti-parallel with the transistor 14, which makes it possible to charge the dc power source with power from the high voltage electrical power system 19 whenever excessive power is available.
- a gate control unit 21 Connected to the gate of the transistor 14 is a gate control unit 21 (not shown in figure 1 ) .
- the gate control unit 21 controls the current through the transistor 14 and is therefore able to turn the switch on (connect) or off (disconnect) .
- the first controllable thyristor 16 is connected in a first direction and the second controllable thyristor 20 is connected in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction.
- the gate control unit performs a bypass of the failed switch by triggering the forward biased of the first 16 or second 20 thyristor connected to the failed switch 7, 9, 11, 13.
- a control unit which is common to several or all switches in the string or even the entire dc power source can be used. To be able to connect and disconnect the strings, the number of remaining switches (not yet failed) has to exceed a certain amount depending on the voltage level of the dc power source and the breaking capability of the remaining switches. For this reason each string preferable comprises one or more redundant switches enabling the dc power source to remain in operation despite failed switches.
- a switch 7 is necessary in the path of the short-circuit current to be able to disconnect the dc power source unit 8.
- an extra switch 7 has been connected to the positive side of the dc power source unit 8, as shown in figure 1.
- the switch 7 also has a function as a redundant switch in case another switch 9, 1 1, 13 in the string fails.
- Disconnectors 5, 6 are placed in the strings next to the positive dc rail 17 and in the strings next to the negative dc rail 18.
- the disconnectors 5, 6 can be advantageous for security reasons during maintenance work on the dc power source 3 or on the converter 2. It would also be possible to distribute a plurality of smaller disconnectors along each string analogously to the distribution of the switches 7, 9, 1 1, 13.
- FIG 2a a schematic diagram of the solid-state switches 7, 9, 1 1 , 13 and parallel-connected thyristors ( 16, 20) is shown .
- the gate control unit 21 Connected to the gate of the transistor 14 is the gate control unit 21.
- the gate control unit controls the transistor 14 by varying the voltage between the gate and emitter, thereby controlling the resistance between the collector and the emitter and, thus, the current through the transistor 14 at a certain voltage can be determined .
- FIG 2b a switch 7, 9, 1 1 , 13 comprising two controllable semiconductors 14 connected in series and parallel-connected thyristors ( 16, 20) is shown. It is however possible to connect three or more such semiconductors 14 in series. Using a series connection makes is possible to use semiconductors with lower voltage ratings than otherwise feasible.
- FIG. 2c a switch 7, 9, 11, 13 comprising two controllable semiconductors 14 connected in parallel and parallel-connected thyristors (16, 20) is shown.
