具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
为了方便理解本申请实施例提供的固态变压器,下面首先介绍一下其应用场景。
固态变压器可以作为电网和负载设备之间的中间设备,用于将电网中的电压进行转换,以供负载设备进行使用。通常,固态变压器连接中压电网和低压负载。例如,在数据中心中,通常包含多个负载设备(如服务器)。中压电网进入机房的供电通常为中压(如10kV)交流电,而数据中心的负载设备通常需要低压(如220V或400V)直流电或交流电。因此,可以通过固态变压器对中压电网的电压进行处理,以将电压转换为负载设备所需的电压大小和类型。或者,在其他一些应用场景中,固态变压器也能够将低压侧产生的电能转换后输送到中压电网。例如,固态变压器可以连接中压电网和光伏发电站。固态变压器可以将光伏发电站所产生的电能进行升压等处理,然后将转换后的电能输送至中压电网。
如图1所示,为固态变压器的应用场景示意图,参见图1所示,固态变压器分别与电网01和负载设备02连接。具体应用时,电网01上传输的电能可以是三相交流电。具体来说,三相交流电可以由三个相位相差120度的单相交流电构成,三个单相交流电可以分别为A相交流单、B相交流电和C相交流电。每一个单相交流电可以与固态变压器中的一个单相转换单元11连接,每个单相转换单元11可以对接收的一个单相交流电进行转换处理,通过多个单相转换单元11可以对电网01上传输的三相交流电进行转换处理,以输出低压的交流电或直流电,以供负载端设备02使用。其中,多个单相转换单元11构成一个 功率转换单元。
实际使用时,当固态变压器应用大于功率转换场景时,单个功率转换单元的转换功率有限。为了实现大功率转换,满足负载设备02的需求,固态变压器中可以设置有多个功率转换单元,多个功率转换单元可以采用并联的方式进行连接,每个功率转换单元转换固态变压器接收的一部分电能。
如图2所示,每个单相转换单元11中可以包括多个电压转换电路,多个电压转换电路的输入端采用串联的方式连接,多个电压转换电路的输出端采用并联的方式连接,多个电压转换电路的输入端串联对单相交流电进行分压处理,每个电压转换电路接收一部分电压并进行转换处理,并将转换处理后的电能通过输出端输出给负载设备02使用。
实际使用时,单相转换单元11中电压转换电路的数量,可以根据单相交流电的电压幅值以及单个电压转换电路的转换能力进行设置,本申请这里不做具体限定。
在实际应用中,每个功率转换单元中的多个单相转换单元均使用同一根中性线N(neutral line,N),参见图3所示,当任一个单相转换单元中的电压转换电路发生故障,将会造成中性线N的电位发生改变,未发生故障的单相转换单元两端承受的电压幅值将会发生改变,即未发生故障的单相转换单元的工作条件发生变化,影响未发生故障的单相转换单元的正常工作。实际使用时,为了保证固态变压器以及与固态变压器连接的器件的安全,会将发生故障的单相转换单元所在的功率转换单元关闭,但是,这种工作方式会明显降低固态变压器的转换功率。
为此,本申请实施例提供了一种能够某个单相转换单元故障的情况下,提升故障容错运行能力以及转换功率的固态变压器。
为了能够清楚了解本申请提供的固态变压器,下面将结合附图和具体实施例进行具体说明。
以下实施例中所使用的术语只是为了描述特定实施例的目的,而并非旨在作为对本申请的限制。如在本申请的说明书和所附权利要求书中所使用的那样,单数表达形式“一个”、“一种”、“上述”、“该”和“这一”旨在也包括例如“一个或多个”这种表达形式,除非其上下文中明确地有相反指示。还应当理解,在本申请以下各实施例中,“至少一个”、“一个或多个”是指一个、两个或两个以上。术语“和/或”,用于描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系;例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A、B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。

需要指出的是,本申请实施例中“连接”可以是电连接,也可以是通信连接。两个电学元件的电连接可以是两个电学元件之间的直接或间接连接。例如,A与B连接,既可以是A与B直接连接,也可以是A与B之间通过一个或多个其它电学元件间接连接,例如A与B连接,也可以是A与C直接连接,C与B直接连接,A与B之间通过C实现了连接。
在本说明书中描述的参考“一个实施例”或“一些实施例”等意味着在本申请的一个或多 个实施例中包括结合该实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特点。由此,在本说明书中的不同之处出现的语句“在一个实施例中”、“在一些实施例中”、“在其他一些实施例中”、“在另外一些实施例中”等不是必然都参考相同的实施例,而是意味着“一个或多个但不是所有的实施例”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。术语“包括”、“包含”、“具有”及它们的变形都意味着“包括但不限于”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。
需要指出的是,本申请实施例中的开关管可以是继电器、金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor,MOSFET),双极结型管(bipolar junction transistor,BJT),绝缘栅双极型晶体管(insulated gate bipolar transistor,IGBT),氮化镓场效应晶体管(GaN),碳化硅(SiC)功率管等多种类型的开关器件中的一种或多种,本申请实施例对此不再一一列举。每个开关器件皆可以包括第一电极、第二电极和控制电极,其中,控制电极用于控制开关器件的导通或断开。当开关器件导通时,开关器件的第一电极和第二电极之间可以传输电流,当开关器件断开时,开关器件的第一电极和第二电极之间无法传输电流。以MOSFET为例,开关器件的控制电极为栅极,开关器件的第一电极可以是开关器件的源极,第二电极可以是开关器件的漏极,或者,第一电极可以是开关器件的漏极,第二电极可以是开关器件的源极。
如图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种固态变压器。参见图4所示,该固态变压器30包括并联的多个功率转换单元41。每个功率转换单元41分别对固态变压器40接收的一部分功率进行转换处理,以使固态变压器40实现大功率转换。
参见图5所示,每个功率转换单元41包括多个单相转换单元411,每个单相转换单元411包括第一切换单元4111、电压转换单元4112、第二切换单元4113。
具体地,第一切换单元4111的第一端为单相转换单元411的第一输入端,第一切换电路4111的第二端与电压转换单元4112的第一输入端连接;电压转换单元4112的第二输入端与第二切换单元4113的第一端连接,电压转换单元4112的输出端与固态变压器40的输出端连接;第二切换单元4113的第二端为单相转换单元411的第二输入端,第二切换单元4113的第三端与其它单相转换单元411中的一个单相转换单元连接。
其中,单相转换单元411中任一电压转换电路发生故障,则可以将该单相转换单元作为故障的单相转换单元。
具体实现时,单相转换单元411的第二输入端与多个单相转换单元中的其它单相转换单元411中的一个单相转换单元411连接,第二切换单元4113的第三端与其它单相转换单元411中的另一单相转换单元411连接,从而实现功率转换单元41中的单相转换单元411之间的连接。
应理解,图5中功率转换单元41仅示出三个单相转换单元411,实际使用时,功率转换单元41中单相转换单元411的数量可以有多个。应理解,功率转换单元41中包括多个单相转换单元411时,为了实现单相转换单元411之间的连接,单相转换单元411中第二切换单元4113需要设置对应的端口数量。例如,当功率转换单元41中单相转换单元411的数量为5时,第二切换单元4113的端口数量可以5个,其中一个端口与电压转换单元4112连接,另外四个端口分别与功率转换单元41中的其它单相转换单元411连接。
下面,以功率转换单元41中包括三个单相转换单元411为例进行说明。
实际使用时,电压转换单元4112包括串联的多个电压转换电路41121,电压转换单元4112用于在任一电压转换电路41121发生故障时,控制连接的第一切换单元4111和第二 切换单元4113断开;或者在其它单相转换单元411发生故障时,通过连接的第二切换单元4113断开与故障的单相转换单元411的连接。
具体地,固态变压器40的输入端与中压电网连接,固态变压器40的输出端与负载设备连接。中压电网可以采用三相三线制传输方式,即中压电网上包括三根相线,每根相线输出一个单相交流电。
其中,每个单相转换单元411的第一输入端与中压电网的一根相线连接,每个单相转换单元411的第二输入端和第二切换单元4113的第三端分别与一个单相转换单元连接,构成中性线N,实现三相交流电之间的平衡,从而接收单相交流电,并对接收的单相交流电进行转换处理。
实际使用时,每根相线与中性线N通过单相转换单元411构成一个电能传输路径,并传输单相交流电给单相转换单元411,单相转换单元411对接收的单相交流电进行转换处理。
实际应用时,每个功率转换单元41中的单相转换单元411连接的中性线相同,每个功率转换单元41连接的中性线不同,从而实现每个功率转换单元41独立工作。
结合图5所示,第一切换单元4111与中压电网的一根相线连接,第二切换单元4113的第二输入端和第三端与功率转换单元41中的其它单相转换单元411连接,构成中性线N,因此,当单相转换单元411中的某个单相转换单元411发生故障时,可以通过控制故障的单相转换单元411中的第一切换单元4111和第二切换单元4113断开,从而断开故障的单相转换单元411与中压电网与其它未发生故障的单相转换单元411的连接,实现故障源的隔离,保证未发生故障的单相转换单元411可以正常工作,功率转换单元41可以在单相转换单元411故障的情况下继续运行,提升了固态变压器40的故障容错运行能力以及转换效率。
实际应用中,固态变压器40可以与中压电网和负载设备固定连接,在另一种实现方式中,固态变压器40可以设置成灵活可拆卸的形式,例如固态变压器40上设有固定接口,中压电网可以通过固定接口实现与固态变压器40的连接,负载设备也可以通过该固定接口实现与固态变压器40的连接。在这种情况下,固态变压器40为独立于中压电网和负载设备的装置。
下面,对单相转换单元411中的第一切换单元4111、电压转换单元4112和第二切换单元4113进行详细介绍。
一、第一切换单元4111
第一切换单元4111的第一端为单相转换单元411的第一输入端,第一切换单元4111的第二端与电压转换单元4112的第一输入端连接,第一切换单元4111可以实现电压转换单元4112与固态变压器40的第一输入端连接。
其中,设置第一切换单元4111的作用为:当电压转换单元4112中的任一电压转换电路41121发生故障时,可以控制第一切换单元4111断开,从而断开电压转换单元4112与中压电网的连接,避免故障范围增大。
第一切换单元4111中可以包括第一开关。第一开关的第一电极为第一切换单元4111的第一端,与单相转换单元411的第一输入端连接。第一开关的第二电极为第一切换单元4111的第二端,与电压转换单元4112的第一输入端连接。
实际使用时,第一开关的控制电极与电压转换单元4112连接,当连接的电压转换单元 4112中的某个电压转换电路41121发生故障时,第一开关的控制电极将会接收到电压转换单元4112发送的驱动信号,并驱动第一开关断开,从而断开电压转换单元4112与相线的连接,抑制故障范围增大。
在一示例中,第一切换单元4111中还包括第一电阻,第一电阻与第一开关并联。当固态变压器40启动时,为了避免启动电流过大造成单相转换单元411中的器件损坏,在启动时刻,可以控制第一开关断开,第一电阻可以限制启动电流,当电流恢复正常,控制第一开关导通,此时第一开关将第一电阻旁路,从而避免第一电阻进行能量消耗。
为了便于理解,下面给出第一切换单元4111结构的具体示例。
参见图6所示,为本申请实施例提供的第一切换单元4111的结构示意图。在图6中,S1可以视为第一开关,R1可以视为第一电阻。
图6所示的第一切换单元4111中各器件的连接关系可以是:开关S1的第一电极分别和第一电阻R1的第一端均与单相转换单元411的第一输入端连接,开关S1的第二电极和第一电阻R1的第二电极均与电压转换单元4112的第一输入端连接。
采用图6所示的第一切换单元4111,当电压转换单元4112中的某个电压转换电路41121故障时,电压转换单元4112向S1的控制电极发送用于驱动S1断开的驱动信号,S1接收到上述驱动信号时,断开第一电极和第二电极之间的连接,此时故障的电压转换单元4112以小电流状态工作,从而避免短路等故障导致未发生故障的电压转换电路损坏,造成故障范围增大。
在一示例中,为了防止电压转换单元4112出现短路故障导致故障器件数量增多,功率转换单元41中还包括与第一切换单元4111的第一端连接的保护单元,该保护单元可以用于进行过载保护和短路保护。其中,保护单元可以是机械控制器件,例如断路器或者保险丝。保护单元也可以是电子控制器件,例如,带有控制器的电子开关管。
可选地,保护单元设置在单相转换单元411内部,参见图6所示,单相转换单元411包括保护单元4114,保护单元4114的一端与第一切换单元4111中第一开关的第一端连接,此时保护单元4114的另一端为单相转换单元411的第一输入端。
可选地,保护单元设置于功率转换单元41,且保护单元独立于单相转换单元411。其中,保护单元与单相转换单元411的第一输入端连接。
具体地,保护单元中包括多个保护子单元,多个保护子单元中的每个保护子单元与多个单相转换单元中的每个单相转换单元一一对应,每个保护子单元的一端连接一根相线,每个保护子单元的另一端与对应的单相转换单元的第一输入端连接,并对连接的单相转换单元进行过载保护和短路保护。
二、电压转换单元4112
电压转换单元4112的第一输入端与第一切换单元4111的第二端连接,电压转换单元4112的第二输入端与第二切换单元4113的第一端连接,电压转换单元4112的输出端与固态变压器40的输出端连接。
具体地,参见图5和图6所示,电压转换单元4112中包括多个电压转换电路41121,多个电压转换电路41121的输入端串联,多个电压转换电路41121的输出端并联。其中,串联的多个电压转换电路41121的第一个电压转换电路41121的高电位输入端,构成电压转换单元4112的第一输入端,串联的多个电压转换电路41121的最后一个电压转换电路41121的低电位输入端,构成电压转换单元4112的第二输入端。
参见图7所示,每个电压转换电路41121中可以包括第一功率变换电路(中压侧功率变换电路)、高频变压器和第二功率变换电路(低压侧功率变换电路)。第一功率变换电路和第二功率变换电路之间可以通过高频变压器进行耦合。其中,第一功率变换电路用于与中压电网进行连接,第二功率变换电路通过固态变压器40的输出端与负载设备进行连接。需要说明的是,中压和低压仅代表相对的两个概念,而并不是对电压大小的限定。即中压侧功率变换电路的电压大于低压侧功率变换电路的电压。
实际应用时,电压转换电路41121中的第一功率转换电路和第二功率转换电路可以由开关管、二极管、电感、电容等器件组成。第一功率转换电路和第二功率转换电路的工作状态可以通过调节这些器件(例如开关管)的工作状态来实现。
本申请中,可以通过控制器实现上述工作状态的调节。即,电压转换电路41121还可以包括控制器,该控制器可以用于控制第一功率转换电路和第二功率转换电路进行转换处理。
具体实现时,控制器可以是微控制单元(micro controller unit,MCU)、中央处理器(central processing unit,CPU)、数字信号处理器(digital singnal processor,DSP)中的任一种。当然,控制器的具体形态不限于上述举例。
采用本申请实施提供的电压转换单元4112,电压转换单元4112分别与第一切换单元4111和第二切换单元4113连接,并控制第一切换单元4111和第二切换单元4113的状态。
在一种可能的实现方式中,多个电压转换电路41121中的一个为目标电压转换电路,目标电压转换电路分别与第一切换单元4111和第二切换单元4113连接。
具体使用时,目标电压转换电路可以在任一电压转换电路发生故障时,控制连接的第一切换单元4111和第二切换单元4113断开;或者在其它单相转换单元411发生故障时,通过连接的第二切换单元4113断开与故障的单相转换单元411的连接。
实际上使用时,由于电压转换单元4112对于对连接的一根相线上传输的单相交流电进行电压转换,因此,电压转换单元4112中的目标电压转换电路与第一切换单元4111和第二切换单元4113之间可能存在电位差。为了实现目标电压转换电路可以控制第一切换单元4111和第二切换单元4113的状态,目标电压转换电路上可以连接电压转换器件,用于消除目标电压转换电路与第一切换单元4111和第二切换单元4113之间的电位差。
在另一示例中,电压转换单元4112中包括第一电压转换电路41121和第二电压转换电路41121,第一电压转换电路41121与第一切换单元4111连接,第二电压转换电路41121与第二切换单元4113连接。
具体实现时,第一电压转换电路41121可以在任一电压转换电路41121发生故障时,控制连接的第一切换单元4111断开。第二电压转换电路41121可以在任一电压转换电路41121发生故障时,控制连接的第二切换单元4113断开;或者在其它单相转换单元411发生故障时候,通过连接的第二切换单元4113断开与故障的单相转换单元的连接。
实际使用时,由于多个电压转换电路41121中第一个电压转换电路41121的电位与第一切换单元4111的电位相同,多个电压转换电路41121中最后一个电压转换电路41121的电位与第二切换单元4113的电位相同,为了降低控制难度,可以将第一个电压转换电路41121作为第一电压转换电路41121,将最后一个电压转换电路41121作为第二电压转换电路41121。
应理解,当控制第二切换单元4113断开时,故障的单相转换单元411与未发生故障的 单相转换单元411之间的连接断开,实现故障源的隔离,保证未发生故障的单相转换单元411可以正常工作。
在一种可能的实现方式中,电压转换单元4112中用于控制第一切换单元4111和第二切换单元4113状态的电压转换电路,可以检测所在电压转换单元4112中其它电压转换单元的故障状态以及其它单相转换单元的故障状态。
具体地,为了实现控制第一切换单元4111和第二切换单元4113状态的电压转换电路可以确定电压转换单元4112中多个电压转换电路41121的故障状态,多个电压转换电路41121之间连接第一传输通道,每个电压转换电路可以根据第一传输通道确定其它电压转换电路的故障状态。
实际使用时,每个电压转换电路的控制器之间有第一传输通道。
具体实现时,为了实现多个单相转换单元411之间的故障状态的确定,每个功率转换单元41中的多个单相转换单元之间连接第二传输通道,每个单相转换单元411可以根据第二传输通道确定其它单相转换单元的故障状态。
基于上述介绍,参见图8所示,目标电压转换电路的工作过程可以包括如下步骤:
其中,下文所涉及的步骤顺序也不代表实际的执行顺序,因此本申请不限定完全按照下文的步骤和顺序执行。
步骤801:判断单相转换单元中是否出现故障的电压转换电路,若是执行步骤802,否则返回执行步骤803。
步骤802:控制第一切换单元和第二切换单元断开,继续执行步骤803。
步骤803:判断连接的单相转换单元是否故障,若是执行步骤804,否则返回执行步骤801。
步骤804:控制第二切换单元断开与故障的单相转换单元的连接,返回执行步骤805。
在步骤805:单相转换单元正常运行。
三、第二切换单元4113
第二切换单元4113的第一端与电压转换单元的第二输入端连接,第二切换单元4113的第二端为单相转换单元411的第二输入端,第二切换单元4113的第三端与多个单相转换单元中的其它单相转换单元411连接。
具体实现时,第二切换单元4113的第二端与其它单相转换单元411中的一个单相转换单元连接,第二切换单元4113的第三端与其它单相转换单元411中另一个单相转换单元连接,从而实现单相转换单元之间的彼此连接。
第二切换单元4113包括第二开关和第三开关。第二开关的第一电极和第三开关的第一电极均与电压转换单元4112的第二输入端连接,第二开关的第二电极与单相转换单元411的第二输入端连接,第三开关的第二电极与其它单相转换单元411中的一个单相转换单元连接。其中,第二开关的第二电极通过单相转换单元411的第二输入端与一个单相转换单元411连接、且第二开关的第二电极和第三开关的第二电极连接的单相转换单元不同。
为了便于理解,下面给出第二切换单元4113结构的具体示例。
参见图9所示,为本申请实施例提供的第二切换单元4113的结构示意图。在图9中,S2可以视为第二开关,S3可以视为第三开关。
图9所示的第二切换单元4113中各器件的连接关系可以是:S2的第一电极与串联的多个电压转换电路中最后一个电压转换电路的低电位输入端连接,S2的第二电极与一个单 相转换单元411的第二切换单元连接。S3的第一电极与串联的多个电压转换电路中最后一个电压转换电路的低电位输入端连接,S3的第二电极与另一个单相转换单元411的第二切换单元连接。
以功率转换单元41中包含三个单相转换单元411为例,每个第一切换单元4111包括两个开关S2和S3,接收A相交流电的单相转换单元411中开关S2的第二电极与接收C相交流电的单相转换单元411中的开关S3的第二电极连接,接收A相交流电的单相转换单元411中开关S3的第二电极与接收B相交流电的单相转换单元411中的开关S2的第二电极连接,接收B相交流电的单相转换单元411中S3的第二电极与接收C相交流电的单相转换单元中的开关S2的第二电极连接,从而实现功率转换单元中所有单相转换单元之间的连接。
采用图9所示的第二切换单元4113,当电压转换单元4112中的某个电压转换电路故障时,向第二切换单元4113发送用于驱动开关S2和S3断开的驱动信号,第二切换单元4113中的开关S2和S3接收到上述驱动信号时,断开第一电极和第二电极之间的连接,从而断开故障的单相转换单元与未故障的单相转换单元之间的连接,实现故障源的隔离,保证未发生故障的单相转换单元可以正常工作。
采用图9所示的第二切换单元4113,当其它单相转换单元故障时,向与故障的单相转换单元连接的S2或S3发送用于驱动该开关断开的驱动信号,与故障的单相转换单元连接的开关S2或S3接收到该驱动信号,并断开故障的单相转换单元的连接,实现故障源的隔离,保证未发生故障的单相转换单元可以正常工作。
