Description

Parameter extraction method for integrated gate pole commutation thyristor drive and follow current loop
Technical Field
The invention relates to a parameter extraction method for an integrated gate commutated thyristor drive turn-off circuit and a follow current loop.
Background
An Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) is composed of two parts, namely a Gate Commutated Thyristor (GCT) and an integrated gate circuit, of a core device, and based on a gate turn-off thyristor (GTO), the IGCT has stronger switching characteristics by virtue of a transparent anode and a buffer layer structure and a gate hard drive technology, so that the working state of the GTO in the transient turn-off process of the transistor and the thyristor is avoided, and the IGCT inherits the high-power processing capability of the GTO. The turn-off capability of the IGCT is closely related to the integrated inductance of the gate drive turn-off circuit, and because the IGCT integrates the GCT and the gate drive circuit on the same printed circuit board, the integrated inductance of the gate drive turn-off circuit is extremely low and is only several nanohenries, so the IGCT can turn off thousands of amperes without absorbing a buffer circuit.
Currently, research work on the problems related to the switching-off transient state of the IGCT is becoming a research focus, including research on an IGCT commutation mechanism, research on an optimal design of a gate drive circuit, research on calculating the junction temperature of the IGCT by using the operating characteristics of the drive circuit, and the like, but the research work on the integrated gate drive switching-off circuit for controlling the switching-off of the IGCT and a freewheeling circuit influencing the switching-off characteristics of the integrated gate drive switching-off circuit are less involved. Moreover, the two ends of the IGCT applied to the high-power converter are provided with freewheeling diodes respectively, so that a freewheeling loop is provided for a bridge arm, and the IGCT is prevented from being damaged due to overhigh pressure bearing. In the initial stage of the turn-off transient of the IGCT, the reverse gate driving voltage will make the freewheeling diode conduct under a forward bias, so that the operating characteristics of the freewheeling diode will also affect the turn-off transient of the IGCT. The document "advanced to Extract the associated Junction Temperature Using Gate-channel Voltage" focuses on extracting the Junction Temperature During the operation of the IGCT by a method combining experiments and simulations, and the document "influence of the anti-parallel diode on the IGCT turn-off process" only analyzes the influence of the anti-parallel diode of the IGCT on the IGCT turn-off process, and uses the experimental result to explain the existence of the influence, but does not relate to the influence of the operation condition of the whole freewheeling circuit including the Gate drive turn-off circuit of the IGCT.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.
FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a parameter extraction method according to the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 1, the present invention comprises the following steps: step S1: analyzing the running characteristics of the integrated gate commutated thyristor drive circuit and the follow current loop, and providing an equivalent circuit of the integrated gate commutated thyristor in the turn-off transient follow current process; step S2: deducing an expression of the terminal voltage of the integrated gate current thyristor in different states according to the equivalent circuit obtained in the step S1; step S3: carrying out a single-tube test experiment of the integrated gate commutated thyristor with specific clamping voltage and turn-off current, and providing a parameter extraction method of the integrated gate commutated thyristor drive turn-off circuit and the follow current circuit by means of experimental results of various electrical quantities of the integrated gate commutated thyristor and the follow current circuit in the turn-off transient process of the integrated gate commutated thyristor; step S4: carrying out experiments of different voltage levels and turn-off currents on the integrated gate commutated thyristor, and determining parameter values of a drive turn-off circuit and a follow current loop of the integrated gate commutated thyristor by processing different experimental results;
1. step 1: analyzing the running characteristics of the integrated gate commutated thyristor drive circuit and the follow current loop, and providing an equivalent circuit of the integrated gate commutated thyristor in the turn-off transient follow current process:
fig. 2a and 2b are a schematic diagram of a split structure and an equivalent circuit of a two-transistor equivalent structure of a gate commutated thyristor, respectively. As shown in fig. 2a and 2b, the subject structure of the gate commutated thyristor GCT still consists of a typical "four-layer three-junction", i.e. its working principle is equivalent to a two-transistor structure. A. K, G is the anode, cathode and gate terminal of the gate commutated thyristor GCT, the equivalent built-in PNP and NPN are connected with each other, the base and collector of the gate commutated thyristor GCT are the collector and base of the gate commutated thyristor GCT, respectively, forming a positive feedback structure. When the driving unit provides a forward voltage, a current is injected through a terminal G, which is equivalent to providing a base current for the built-in NPN, so that the built-in NPN is firstly conducted. After the built-in NPN is conducted, the collector current of the built-in NPN provides enough base current for the built-in PNP to enable the built-in PNP to be conducted therewith, the built-in PNP collector current provides base current for the built-in NPN, so that a positive feedback process is formed, and the gate pole commutation thyristor GCT is changed from an off state to an on state when both of the built-in NPN and the built-in NPN reach a saturation state; when the driving unit provides reverse voltage, current is extracted through a terminal G, the built-in NPN loses base current, cathode current rapidly commutates to a gate pole, the gate pole commutate thyristor GCT is changed from a thyristor to PNP losing base current, and anode current is gradually cut off.
Fig. 3a and 3b are schematic diagrams illustrating the operation states of the gate driving turn-off circuit in the turn-off transient state and the turn-off state of the IGCT, respectively. As shown in fig. 3a, when the IGCT is turned off, the switch S of the turn-off circuit is driven to close, the turn-off circuit is driven to enter the working state, and the reverse gate driving voltage VGUApplied to both ends of a built-in NPN emitter junction to reverse-block the emitter junction and exit the operation, N+Side current IinThe decrease is 0, the IGCT cathode current commutates completely to the gate, and the gate commutated thyristor GCT is gradually turned off in the form of PNP with lost base injection. As shown in fig. 3b, in order to avoid the IGCT being turned on by mistake, the structure of the driving circuit is not changed in the off state, and the gate-cathode always bears the reverse bias voltage.
FIG. 4a, FIG. 4b, FIG. 4c, and FIG. 4d are schematic diagrams of equivalent circuits in forward conducting phase, current rising phase, and turn-off and reverse directions of the IGCT turn-off transient freewheeling process, respectivelyA recovery stage equivalent circuit schematic diagram and a resonance stage equivalent circuit schematic diagram. As shown in fig. 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4D, the free wheel diode D1The working state of the system divides an equivalent circuit in the process of switching off the transient follow current of the IGCT into four stages, namely a forward conduction stage, a current rising stage, a switching-off and reverse recovery stage and a resonance stage.
And (3) a forward conduction stage: built-in NPN emitter junction equivalent to Din,L1Is IGCT and freewheeling diode D1The equivalent inductance of the follow current loop is formed, S is a switch of the drive turn-off circuit, and the IGCT is in a closed state when being turned off. Because the switching-off transient state current conversion time of the IGCT is extremely short, the IGCT does not bear the voltage drop of the main circuit at the stage, and the built-in PNP voltage drop is about the on-state voltage drop V of the IGCTTCan be regarded as a constant voltage source, the main circuit current ITConstant current source, cathode current iinFrom DinCommutating to gate, gate current iGIs continuously increased, finally iinDecrease to 0, then iGIs equal to IT,LnOnly a few nanohenries, VTSmaller, VGUUsually 20V, so VAK1<0, i.e., the anode terminal A is at a low potential with respect to the cathode terminal K, the flywheel diode D1Is conducted under forward bias and has a current of iD1Then, the equivalent circuit diagram of the forward conduction stage as shown in fig. 4a can be obtained.
And (3) a current rising stage: the current has been reversed from cathode to gate and cathode side diode DinReverse cut-off has exited the operating state, so satisfy iGIs equal to iA,iAComprising ITAnd iD1Two components, the stage ITAnd VTCan still be regarded as a constant current source and a constant voltage source, at this time, vAK2Still negative, iD1At | vAK2If the current continues to rise under the action of | and the carriers in the P-base region are further extracted along with the turn-off transient state, the equivalent circuit diagram at the current rising stage as shown in fig. 4b can be obtained on the basis of fig. 4 a.
Shutdown and reverse recovery phases: at the end of the IGCT off-transient storage period, the IGCT remains capable of conducting current, i.e., ITThe N base region is unchanged, but the N base region already bears external voltage, so that the built-in PNP voltage drop begins to rise and is no longer VT. Because the IGCT is converted into a transistor without base current from a thyristor, the base-suspended PNP replaces a constant voltage source, and the pressure bearing is changed into vPNPAccompanied by vPNPIncrease of vAK3Approaching 0 by negative, resulting in diD1The/dt is reduced, but because of vPNPA state in which the time duration is extremely short, and when the anode terminal A becomes high potential v with respect to the cathode terminal KAK3>At 0, D1Under reverse bias voltage to turn off state iD1Decreasing rapidly and entering the reverse recovery phase, the equivalent circuit diagram of the shutdown and reverse recovery phase shown in fig. 4c can be obtained on the basis of fig. 4 b.
A resonance stage: due to vPNPRapidly rising, anodic current iAIn the descending stage of IGCT turn-off transient state, the main circuit current iTReduced with the reduction that the current is not equivalent to a constant current source IT. Freewheeling diode D1After the reverse recovery current is recovered to 0 for the first time, due to the IGCT and the freewheeling diode D1The formed follow current loop has an equivalent capacitance C1Resulting in a freewheeling diode D1It does not immediately completely cut off. At this time, the IGCT and the freewheeling diode D1The potential barrier region of the internal pressure-bearing PN junction is widened when the almost equal external voltage is borne, so that the two show the potential barrier capacitance effect. At this time, PNP and freewheeling diode D are built in1All are considered as ideal devices, and are only used for bearing external voltage, then the equivalent circuit diagram of the resonance stage shown in fig. 4d can be obtained on the basis of fig. 4 c.

And step 3: the method comprises the following steps of carrying out a single-tube test experiment of the integrated gate commutated thyristor with specific clamping voltage and specific turn-off current, and providing a parameter extraction method of the integrated gate commutated thyristor drive turn-off circuit and the follow current circuit by means of experimental results of various electrical quantities of the integrated gate commutated thyristor and the follow current circuit in the turn-off transient process of the integrated gate commutated thyristor:

According to the experimental requirement, the test platform takes a resistor with the resistance value of 1 ohm as a load, and utilizes an external control circuit to send a single-pulse light control signal which is input into an IGCT drive circuit, so as to realize the single-pulse work of the IGCT.
