本发明涉及一种用于测量电能消耗的电表装置, 更具体的,涉及采用隧道磁 电阻 (TMR, Tunneling Magnetoresistive) 器件测量穿过导电体的电流和连接于 导电体的负载两端的电压的领域。
背景技术
在电力行业中,从相对高成本的机械式瓦特 -小时电表向易于集成的低成本、 多功能、能进行数据存储的固态式远传电表系统转变正成为一种趋势。虽然已经 开发了用于计算与电能计量相关的电路参数的集成电路,但是,仍然需要一种能 耐受供电网络不稳定所造成的电流瞬变冲击的电表传感器。它需要能在一个很宽 的量程范围内测量不同环境下工作的不同负载的电能消耗, 同时具有低成本、高 精度和高集成度的优点。 因此, 开发一种与供电网络电气隔离的固态电表传感器 是一种重要的实际需求。
另外,通常的电表采用具有模拟输出的离散的传感器将电压和电流信息提供 给后续计算电能消耗的微处理器电路。 由于电能测量本身的特点, 以及供电导线 最小尺寸的限制,通常将传感器集成到与用于电能计算的微处理器相同的集成电 路封装中非常困难。另外, 一种能提供被测负载电压和电流等电能参数数字化的 值, 并与现有的供电网络电气隔离的传感器很容易和后续电路集成到一起, 从而 提高固态电表工作的稳定性, 并降低成本。
此外, 获得高测量分辨率也是电表传感器的一个非常重要的参数。有一种重 要的趋势是: 采用霍尔传感器和磁阻传感器一一包括各向异性磁电阻 (AMR, Anisotropic Magnetoresistance)禾口巨石兹电阻 (GM , Giant Magnetoresistance) 替 代常用的电流互感器或罗果夫斯基线圈(Rogowski Coil)来进行电流测量。霍尔 传感器相对成本较高而且分辨率较低。各向异性磁电阻和巨磁电阻器件虽然具有 较高的分辨率,但由于其输出信号幅值通常较小, 从而增加了前端放大电路设计 的困难,这使得整个系统的复杂度和集成电路尺寸有所增加, 从而相应地提高了 其成本。 隧道磁电阻 (TMR) 器件, 也称磁性隧道结 (MTJ, Magnetic Tunnel Junction) 器件, 能提供一个很高的分辨率和更大幅值的信号, 因此其前端放大 电路比较简单, 这样, 采用 TMR传感器件进行电能消耗测量, 在整体上成本能 得到有效降低。

有益效果:
本发明主要通过磁场或磁场与电场的组合来感应负载电流和负载两端的电 压。 由于磁场和电场的检测都是与负载工作的电路电气隔离, 因而在集成电路与 供电线路之间不存在直接的连接。因此,关键的电子元件与供电线路之间相隔离, 这极大的增强了测量系统对供电电压不稳定时出现的瞬变的耐受能力,因而工作 更加稳定可靠。
本发明的优选实施方案是采用由 MTJ传感器组成的 TMR传感器来测量负载 电流和负载两端的电压。 其中采用 MTJ传感器来检测电流, 而电容电桥或额外 MTJ传感器与和负载并联的分流电阻线圈组合用于测量负载两端的电压。 MTJ 传感器具有比巨磁电阻 (GMR) 和各向异性磁电阻 (AMR) 传感器大得多的灵 敏度和信号幅值, 并具有相似的分辨力。 这通过降低需要接口专用集成电路 (ASIC) 中的微控制器的前端电子元件的成本而简化了系统设计, 微控制器用 以计算和报告电能消耗。。
本发明除了能提供电能消耗的电表参数以外,还具有计算输出功率和其它对 后续应用有用的电路参数的能力。此外,本发明所述的电表传感器在与电力线电 气隔离的情况下, 具有将所计算的参数与数字通信系统进行通信的能力。 由于它 不再需要像传统的电表一样对模拟输出进行电气隔离和模数转换 (ADC), 这使 得电表和整个能量计系统的设计变得更为简单。
从以上发明内容, 结合隧道磁电阻器件 (TMR) 本身的特点, 可以看出本 发明所提供的电表传感器方案和电表传感器网络具有整体成本更低、工作稳定性 高、 测量系统与待测的供电网络电气隔离的特点。 并且, 采用 TMR器件后, 系 统的灵敏度高, 分辨率高, 前端电路设计简单, 并可以提供与后端的电能测量系 统匹配的数据形式, 便于与后续应用系统或电路接口。 附图说明

以下结合附图对本发明所述电表传感器进行更进一步的阐述:
实施例一:
见图 1所示的独立封装的电表传感器 18, 其中, 直流或交流电源输入 1, 电 表传感器 18, 以及负载 2串联。 电表传感器 18安置在电源 1 与负载 2之间, 用 于测量负载的能量消耗。一 MTJ传感器 12紧邻与负载 2串联的内部导线 3放置, 用来测量流过导线 3和负载 2的电流所产生的磁场。
MTJ传感器 12与导线 3产生的磁场磁耦合。 这样, 通过测量流经导线 3的 电流, 可以计算负载 2的能量消耗。 MTJ传感器 12对流经导线 3的电流所产生 的磁场敏感。 一旦感应到流过导线 3的电流, MTJ传感器 12就输出一个与电流 大小成正比的电压, 即负载的电流信号。 MTJ传感器 12的输出电压经多路复用 器 13输入到 ADC模数转换器 14,经转换后以数字化的数据输入到微处理器 15, 用于计算负载瞬时功率和能量消耗等电路参数。
另一个输入到微处理器 15的是由 MTJ传感器 11所提供的负载 2两端的电 压信号 V。负载 2两端的电压信号是通过测量流过与之并联的电压分流线圈 4的 电流所产生的磁场得到。负载 2两端的电压除以分流线圈 4的阻抗,所得到的就 是通过分流线圈 4的电流。因此电压分流线圈 4所产生的磁场的磁通量正比于负 载 2两端的电压。 因此 MTJ传感器 11与分流线圈 4的磁场磁耦合, 并输出一个 正比于负载 2两端电压的电压信号 V。
MTJ传感器 11和 MTJ传感器 12产生的分别代表负载 2消耗的电流 I和电 压 V的信号, 可以有很多种方式输入到微处理器 15。 通常, 在输入到微处理器 15之前, 首先要对 MTJ传感器 11和 MTJ传感器 12给出的负载 2的电压 V与 电流信号 I进行取样和通过模数转换器 (ADC) 14进行转换。 在成本最低的电 表传感器 18的实施方案中, 只采用一个模数转换器 14, 而 MTJ传感器 11和 MTJ传感器 12的输出信号通过一个多路复用器 13进行分时复用后由同一个模 数转换器 14进行转换。
根据采样定律, 模数转换器 14对 MTJ传感器 11 和 MTJ传感器 12 所输 出的负载 2的电流和电压信号的采样频率至少要高于电源 1的频率的两倍。一般 来讲, 如图 1中所示, 模数转换器 14对 MTJ传感器 11和 MTJ传感器 12的采 样频率应该高于 4倍的电源输入 1的基本频率。在实际工作中,在没有同步采样 时钟对 MTJ传感器 11 和 MTJ传感器 12所输出的负载 2的电压和电流信号进行 采样的时序控制的情况下, 模数转换器 14对 MTJ传感器 11和 MTJ传感器 12 的采样频率仅仅是电源 1 的频率的 4倍是不够的。 在没有同步时钟的情况下, 一个比较可靠的近似最低频率应是电源 1频率的 16倍。 因此, 在采用绝对最小 频率的情况下, 如图 18中配置多路复用器 13的模数转换器 14, 它的采样频率 必须要达到电源 1的频率的 32倍。 对于一个高精度的电表传感器, 为了达到相 应的国家计量标准, 所采用的模数转换器 14的最低工作频率是 1920Hz。
为了适应对千瓦-时电表应用, 电表传感器 18应该具有计算多种电路参数的 能力, 包括但不限于方均根 (RMS, Root Mean Square) 电压、 方均根电流、 实 时功率、 无功功率、 视在功率、 功率系数、 谐波失真、 负载阻抗和容差, 以及直 流电路中的直流电压和直流电流等。这些量都可以很容易的从 MTJ传感器 11和 MTJ传感器 12所提供的电压和电流信号中计算出来。
对于通过微处理器 15进行所需参数的精确计算和测量, 取决于是否能够对 MTJ传感器 11和 MTJ传感器 12的信号波形进行合适的缩放。 缩放因子根据信 号波形和传感器的工作特性确定。
为了使电表传感器 18的设计简化, 同时提高其精度,可以对 MTJ传感器 11 和 MTJ传感器 12的输出进行调整, 使输出与模数转换器 14的最佳输入范围相 符。 有两种控制 MTJ传感器响应的方法可被应用, 一种是如图 2所示的, 控制 MTJ传感器的偏置电压; 另一种是如图 3所示, 利用闭环工作的 MTJ对导线 3 和分流线圈 4的磁场进行补偿。
图 2展示了一种作为施加至 MTJ传感器的偏压的函数的示例性灵敏度响应 曲线。 MTJ传感器在低偏置电压区, 在固定的磁场值下输出电压线性正比于偏 置电压。 随着偏置电压的升高, 响应曲线开始变得非线性。 本发明中, 在该设备 能够计算出非线性校准系数已知的情况下, 线性区和非线性区都是有效的。在响 应曲线已知的情况下, 为了最大化 MTJ传感器的模数转换器 14的信噪比, 可改 变 MTJ传感器的的偏压。 可以使用微处理器 15来计算 MTJ传感器的最佳偏置 电压, 然后这个电压可通过导线 50和导线 51反馈到 MTJ传感器 12和 MTJ传 感器 11。 微处理器 15随后可以按以下方式来缩放 MTJ传感器的信号波形:
Figure imgf000009_0001
其中 VMTj是 MTJ传感器的输出电压, α是磁场-电压输出常数、 β是偏置电 压常数, a是磁场 -电流常数, b是偏置电流常数。
图 3展示了一种用于线性化磁场传感器的输出的示例性方法, 其中向 MTJ 传感器提供一个与所测量磁场方向相反的磁场,通常将其称为闭环工作。在这种 闭环方法中, 集成电路芯片上的片上电磁铁 81提供一个与所要测量的待测磁场 (HmeasUxed) 84方向相反的反馈磁场(Hfeedbadc ) 85。 在闭环模式下, 通过改变电 磁铁 81的电流而使 MTJ传感器的输出 80保持不变。由于穿过电磁铁 81的电流 86正比于补偿磁场, 而补偿磁场等于待测磁场 84, 因此, 通过电磁铁 81的电流 86直接正比于待测磁场 84。 因此, 在这种方法中, 负载 2的电流和输出电压可 以经下式算出:
V = lFeedbackXClHIXPvH
I = lFeedbackX ClHI XycH
其中 V和 I分别是负载 2的电压和电流, Ifeedback是反馈电流, αΗΙ是测量磁 场(Hmeasured ) -反馈电流(iFeedbadc)系数, βνΗ是输出电压( V ) -测量磁场( Hmeasured ) 系数, YCH是电流 (1)-测量磁场 (Hmeasured ) 系数。
当 MTJ传感器用于电压和电流传感器时,微处理器 15可以很容易的设计成 提供合适的校准参数, 同时控制偏置电压或反馈电流以使 MTJ传感器的输出在 模数转换器 14的最佳响应区间范围内, 而不用采用增益可变的前置放大器。
电表传感器 18旨在提供一个数字信号以将所测参数与外部系统通讯, 这个 外部系统可以包含一数据记录器、 一微处理器, 或是其它用于电能计量的系统。 为了实现以上功能, 微处理器 15的处理后的输出的参数必须转换成一种可与离 片电子元件兼容的格式。 因此该电表传感器包括一接口逻辑 16, 其将所要输出 的数据转换成多种可能形式中的一种, 包括但不限于以下标准形式 : USB、 S-232 I2C或 SPI。 实施例二:
实施例二与实施例一所述的电表传感器基本相同, 区别在于: 实施例一采用 电压分流线圈测量负载电压,而实施例二采用电阻和耦合电容分压器来测量负载 电压。
实施例二中的独立封装的电表传感器可参照图 4中的标号 18所示。
它采用电阻-耦合电容分压器 40和缓冲放大器 41来实现负载 2电压的测量。 这种设计可以降低电表传感器 18的制造成本, 同时允许在使用时由用户选择合 适的外部电容 40对电压波形进行滤波,从而消除供电线路中的干扰信号和噪声。 图 4中的这种布置最适合于交流能耗测量, 因为在交流情况下,可以对带宽以外 的电压信号进行滤除。 在这种布置当中, 耦合电容分压器 40 在电表传感器 18 的外部。这样就可以通过选择不同的电容来设置电压波形的截止频率。 另外, 一 个电容 -阻抗 (RC) 网络可以用来限制连接到微处理器 15 的电压波形中的上限 频率和下限频率, 从而可以代替需要外接的电容 40。
实施例三:
如图 5、 图 6所示, 由于负载电流对导线最小几何尺寸的限伟 , 将供电导线 3置于电表传感器 18封装内部通常是不现实的。 在这种情况下, 通常将电表传 感器 18安置在距离外部导线 5最近的位置上。电表传感器 18的第一磁性传感器 17可与外部导线 5产生的磁场磁耦合。 磁耦合可以通过将外部导线穿过一个开 口铁磁环 20,并将电表传感器置于开口铁磁环 20的开口槽中来达成。选择性地, 可以将电表传感器紧靠于载流汇流排的一侧面放置。此布置示意性地图示于图 6 中。 此处, 电表传感器 18放置在绝缘层 105的正上方。 绝缘层 105可以将电表 传感器 18和电源导线 5隔离开来。 流过外部导线 5的电流 102随后产生一磁场
103 , 磁场 103由电表传感器 18中的 MTJ传感器 12来检 $ 得电表传感器置于 一
Figure imgf000010_0001
其中, "W"是导线的宽度, "t"是导线的厚度, " X 是沿平行于导线上表 面方向离导线中心的距离, "y" 是在导线上方的高度。 5中的 200给出了电 流与汇流排上方的一位置处的磁场的示例性曲线。
由于整个电表传感器 18都置身于外部导线 5的电流产生的磁场中, 因此, 必须将用于测量负载 2电压的第二磁性传感器 MTJ传感器 11通过磁性屏蔽结构 30屏蔽于导线 5产生的磁场, 如图 5所示。
实施例四
实施例四与实施例三的电表传感器基本相同, 区别在于: 实施例三采用电压 分流线圈测量负载电压,而实施例四采用电阻和耦合电容构成的分压网络来测量 负载电压。
图 7展示了电表传感器 18的一种替代性配置, 其除了使用外部导线 5以外 还使用耦合电容分压器 40和缓冲放大器 41来执行电气隔离式负载电压测量。这 种配置可以降低电表传感器 18的制造成本, 并允许用户在使用时根据需要对电 压波形进行滤波来消除供电线路中的干扰信号和噪声。图 7中的这种配置最适合 于交流能耗测量,因为交流情况下,可以对带宽以外的电压信号进行滤除。而且, 外部导线 5的尺寸太大, 通常不能安置在电表传感器 18封装内。在这种配置中, 耦合电容 40在电表传感器 18封装的外部。 这样就可以通过选择不同的电容 40 来设置电压波形的截止频率。 另外, 一个限制连接到微处理器 15的电压波形的 上、 下限截止频率的电容 -阻抗 (RC) 网络可以取代外部电容 40。
图 8展示了一种示例性的千瓦-时能耗计配置, 其利用级联电表传感器来测 量来自居民三相电源 60的各支路的典型居民负载 61消耗的电流和电压。电表传 感器通过使用开口铁磁环或靠近汇流排的一边放置来与输电线路中的导线磁耦 合, 在这种千瓦 -时电表传感器的应用中, 电表传感器 73和 74的输出 75各自提 供了对一个供电系统的每一相电的能量消耗的测量。 电表传感器 18的数字输出 75必须连接到电表里的其他电子元件以便计算负载 2总的能量消耗。 由于电表 传感器 18的输出可以转换成任意一种可能需要的形式,且数字输出 75与供电电 源 60电气隔离, 因而不需要对输出进行数字化处理和将模拟输出信号与供电网 络隔离。 这使得整个能量消耗测量系统设计更为简单, 成本也得以降低。 另外, 电路参数的计算是在电表传感器 18中完成的, 因此使得后续的能量测量系统的 算法和设计更为简单。
以上对本发明的特定实施例结合图示进行了说明,但本发明的保护内容不仅仅限 定于以上实施例, 在本发明的所属技术领域中, 只要掌握通常知识, 就可以在其 技术要旨范围内, 进行多种多样的变更。
