In one embodiment, the controllable rectifying circuit in each power unit receives the input voltage and generates an evenly divided rectified voltage on each bus unit along with the input voltage, and accordingly, in one embodiment, the rectified voltage generated by the corresponding controllable rectifying circuit can be represented by a bus capacitor voltage.
In one embodiment, the control circuit 280 is connected to the plurality of cascaded power cells for generating a plurality of control signals and outputting the plurality of control signals to the plurality of power cells, respectively. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the control circuit 280 is connected to the power cells a1 to An, B1 to Bn, and C1 to Cn connected in cascade, generates a plurality of control signals CTRA1 to CTRAn, CTRB1 to CTRBn, and CTRC1 to CTRCn, and outputs the control signals to the corresponding power cells a1 to An, B1 to Bn, and C1 to Cn, respectively.

The high voltage variable frequency drive system 210 will be described in detail below in conjunction with fig. 3. Fig. 3 schematically illustrates a schematic detailed block diagram of an electrical system 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The same reference numerals in fig. 3 as in fig. 2 denote the same components. Since the group of cascaded cells connected to each phase of the power supply has the same circuit structure and connection manner, for the sake of simplicity, only the group of power cells (a 1-An) connected to the a phase of the three-phase power supply 220 will be described as An example; it should be understood that the description of the group of power cells a 1-An applies equally to the power cells B1-Bn and C1-Cn connected to the B-phase and C-phase of the power supply.
As shown in FIG. 3, each of the power cells A1-An includes a controllable rectifier circuit 220-i and An inverter circuit 230-i. Wherein each controllable rectifier circuit 220-i comprises an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) rectifier circuit for receiving an input voltage and rectifying said input voltage to output an equal rectified voltage. Taking the controllable rectification circuit 220-1 of the power cell a1 at a first end (e.g., top) of the cascaded plurality of power cells as an example, the controllable rectification circuit 220-1 includes four IGBTs S1-S4 forming a bridge rectification circuit, voltage dividing resistors R1 and R2, and bus capacitors C1 and C2 for providing dc filtering, and in one embodiment, the rectified voltage may be represented as a bus capacitor voltage. The inverter circuit 230-1 includes a bridge rectifier circuit formed of four IGBTs. The controllable rectification circuit and the inverter circuit in the remaining power units all have the same structure (as shown in fig. 3), and for the sake of brevity, the description thereof is omitted.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the first input terminal I11 of the controllable rectification circuit 220-1 of the power unit a1 at the first end (e.g., the top) of the cascaded plurality of power units a 1-An is connected to one phase (e.g., phase a) of the three-phase ac voltage through the inductor La, and the second input terminal I12 is connected to one input terminal of the controllable rectification circuit of the subsequent power unit a2 (e.g., the first input terminal I21 of the power unit a 2).
Further, the second input terminal In2 of the controllable rectification circuit 220-n of the power cell An at the second end (e.g., bottom) among the cascaded plurality of power cells a 1-An is connected with the corresponding input terminal (e.g., second input terminal) of the controllable rectification circuit of the power cell (e.g., Bn and Cn) at the second end (e.g., bottom) of the cascaded power cells (e.g., B1-Bn and C1-Cn) for the remaining phases In the three-phase alternating voltage, as shown In fig. 3, which are all connected at the common point P1.
Furthermore, when there are also intermediate power cells Aj (1< j < n, and j is a positive integer) between the first end (e.g., top) and the second end (e.g., bottom) of the cascaded power cells a 1-An, then the first input (Ij1) of the controllable rectifier circuit of each intermediate power cell Aj is connected to one input (e.g., the second input I (j-1)2) of the controllable rectifier circuit of the previous power cell a (j-1), and the second input (Ij2) is connected to one input (e.g., the first input I (j +1)1) of the controllable rectifier circuit of the next power cell a (j + 1).
By cascading the input terminals of the controllable rectifier circuits, ac high voltage can be directly input to the cascaded controllable rectifier circuits, so that the controllable rectifier circuits can reduce input harmonics following the input voltage phase and generate equal bus voltages (i.e., rectified voltages) on each power cell.
For the output part of the power unit, a first output terminal (O11) of the inverter circuit 230-1 of the power unit a1 at a first end (e.g., top) among the cascaded plurality of power units a 1-An is connected to the load M to drive the load M, and a second output terminal (O12) is connected to one output terminal (e.g., the first output terminal O21) of the inverter circuit 230-2 of the subsequent power unit a 2.
Further, the second output terminal (On2) of the controllable rectification circuit 230-n of the power cell An at the second end (e.g., bottom) among the cascaded plurality of power cells a 1-An is connected with the corresponding output terminal (e.g., second output terminal) of the inverter circuit of the power cells (e.g., Bn and Cn) at the second end (e.g., bottom) of the cascaded power cells (e.g., B1-Bn and C1-Cn) for the remaining phases in the three-phase alternating voltage, as shown in fig. 3, and these input terminals are all connected at the common point P2.
In addition, when there are intermediate power units Aj (1< j < n, and j is a positive integer) between the first end (e.g., the top) and the second end (e.g., the bottom) of the cascaded power units a 1-An, then the first output terminal Oj1 of the inverter circuit 230-j of each intermediate power unit Aj is connected to one output terminal (e.g., the second output terminal O (j-1)2) of the inverter circuit 230- (j-1) of the previous power unit a (j-1), and the second output terminal Oj2 is connected to one output terminal (e.g., the first output terminal O (j +1)1) of the inverter circuit 230- (j +1) of the next power unit a (j + 1).
By the cascade connection of the output parts, the driving voltages of the outputs of the inverter circuits of the respective power units can be accumulated together to generate a high driving voltage to drive the load M.
The connection relationships between the input and output portions of power cells A1-An are equally applicable to power cells B1-Bn and power cells C1-Cn, and are not described herein for brevity. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that similar connections between the input and output sections are equally applicable for the cascaded power cells B1-Bn and C1-Cn for the remaining phases of the three-phase power supply.
Returning to the power cells connected to phase a, the controllable rectifier circuit in each of power cells a 1-An receives the control signal from control circuit 280 and outputs An equal rectified voltage based on the control signal. Similarly, the controllable rectifier circuit in each of the power cells B1-Bn and C1-Cn also correspondingly receives control signals from the control circuit 280 and outputs an equal rectified voltage based on the control signals.
In the following, a specific procedure of the controllable rectifier circuit outputting an equal rectified voltage under control of the control signal will be described in connection with fig. 4. Fig. 4 schematically illustrates a waveform diagram of a correlation signal of one power cell a1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the waveform diagram of the signals in fig. 4 is also applicable to other power cells.
As shown in FIG. 4, VBUSThe CTRA1 is a control signal generated by the control circuit 280, and the control signal CTRA1 is a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal and is output to the controllable rectification circuit 220-1 of the power unit a1, wherein the control signal CTRA1 is a voltage across the bus capacitor C1 of the power unit a1, which may represent a rectified voltage output by the corresponding controllable rectification circuit 220-1. In one embodiment, controlControl circuit 280 detects the rectified voltage output by the corresponding controllable rectifier circuit (i.e., represented as voltage V across bus capacitor C1)BUS) And comparing the detected rectified voltage with a specific voltage, and adjusting the duty ratio of the corresponding PWM control signal according to the comparison result so as to control the rectified voltage output by the controllable rectifying circuit of each power unit.
Specifically, in one embodiment, taking the example shown in fig. 4 as an example, the control circuit 280 outputs the control signal CTRA1 to the controllable rectification circuit 220-1 (e.g., to the control terminal of the IGBT S1) in the corresponding power cell a1, thereby controlling the output voltage of the controllable rectification circuit 220-1 to be maintained at a specific voltage value. Further, the control circuit 280 also performs similar control on the controllable rectification circuits in the remaining power units through the control signal, so as to realize that the rectified voltage output by each controllable rectification circuit is equal to realize voltage sharing.
Taking the power unit a1 as an example, when the output rectified voltage of the controllable rectifying circuit 220-1 therein is greater than a specific voltage value, the control circuit 280 decreases the duty cycle of the control signal CTRA1 to make the rectified voltage decrease to the specific voltage value; when the output rectified voltage of the controllable rectifier circuit 220-1 therein is smaller than a specific voltage value, the control circuit 280 increases the duty cycle of the control signal CTRA1 to increase the rectified voltage to the specific voltage value, so that the rectified voltage output by the controllable rectifier circuit in the power unit a1 is equal to the specific voltage value. Further, the controllable rectifying circuits in the rest power units can output equal rectified voltage through similar control of the control circuit on the controllable rectifying circuits in the rest power units, and therefore voltage sharing is achieved.
In one embodiment, for a group of power cells connected to each phase power supply, the corresponding specific voltage value is an average of rectified voltages output by each controllable rectifier. For example, for a group of power cells a1 to An connected to An a-phase power supply, the corresponding specific voltage Va is (V)A1+VA2+…+VAn) N, wherein, VAiFor rectified current output from a controllable rectifying circuit of a power unit Ai connected to the A phase of a three-phase AC supplyAnd voltage, wherein i is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to n, and n is the number of cascaded power units connected with A of the power supply. Similarly, for each power cell B1-Bn, the corresponding particular voltage Vb is equal to (V ═ VB1+VB2+…+VBn) N, wherein, VBiThe rectified voltage is output by a controllable rectifying circuit of a power unit Bi connected to the phase B of the three-phase alternating current power supply, wherein i is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to n, and n is the number of cascaded power units connected with the phase B of the power supply; for each of the power cells C1 to Cn, the corresponding specific voltage Vc is (V)C1+VC2+…+VCn) N, wherein, VCiThe rectified voltage is output by a controllable rectifying circuit of a power unit Ci connected to the C phase of a three-phase alternating current power supply, wherein i is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to n, and n is the number of cascaded power units connected with the C phase of the power supply.
Taking the signal waveform shown in FIG. 4 as an example, when the bus capacitor voltage VBUSEqual to the corresponding specific voltage Va, for example, during the period from time T0 to time T1 in fig. 4, the control circuit 280 generates a PWM signal having a pulse with a width d. At time T1, bus capacitor voltage VBUSIncreased and greater than a certain voltage value Va. In response, the control circuit 280 decreases the duty ratio of the control signal CTRA1 at the next switching time T2, generating the control signal CTRA having a width d1(d 1)<d) To reduce the rectified voltage and to reduce said rectified voltage to a certain voltage value Va. The switching time T2 corresponds to the carrier switching frequency, i.e. to the period of the carrier switching. At time T3, control circuit 280 detects VBUSIs reduced and is less than a specific voltage value VaAt this time, the control circuit 280 increases the duty ratio of the control signal CTRA1 at the next switching time T4 to generate the control signal CTRA having the width d2(d 2)>d) To increase the rectified voltage and to increase the rectified voltage to a certain voltage value Va. The switching time T4 corresponds to the carrier switching frequency, i.e., to the period of the carrier switching.
By comparing the bus capacitor voltage of one power unit with the average value of the rectified voltages output by the controllable rectifying circuits in the power units cascaded in the same group, the bus capacitor voltage (namely, the rectified voltage) can be dynamically adjusted in real time and is equal to the average value of all the rectified voltages of the power units cascaded in the same group, so that the power units cascaded in the same group realize voltage balance.
In addition, fig. 4 illustrates a waveform of the control signal received by the power unit a 1. For a group of power units, e.g., power units a 1-An, connected to one phase of a three-phase power supply, each power unit Ai receives a control signal with a particular phase shift Δ ps therebetween, e.g., Δ ps ═ 360 °/n (n is the number of power units in the group).
Fig. 5 schematically illustrates a waveform diagram of a set of cascaded power cells a 1-An related signals according to An embodiment of the disclosure. The signal waveforms in FIG. 5 are for the case where 8 power cells A1-A8 are included in a group of power cells. The signal waveforms a 1-A8 in fig. 5 are the drive voltages of the outputs of the power cells a 1-A8, respectively, and V is the voltage at the first output O11 of the top power cell a1, i.e., the total output voltage of the cascaded power cells. Although described in connection with power cells A1-An in FIG. 5, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the signal waveforms of FIG. 5 are equally applicable to the groups of power cells connected to the remaining phases of the three-phase power supply, e.g., power cells B1-Bn and C1-Cn.

Although specific steps are disclosed in fig. 6, these steps are for illustration only. The inventive idea can be used to perform other steps or steps that are evolved from the specific steps in fig. 6. The exemplary operations of fig. 6 may be performed by a high voltage variable frequency drive device 210 as in fig. 2 and 3.

In step S610, a plurality of control signals are generated by the control circuit 280. In one embodiment, control circuit 280 generates control signals for the plurality of PWM based on the modulation voltage and the carrier voltage. For example, for the three-phase power supplies shown in fig. 2 and 3, the control circuit 280 generates control signals CTRA1 to CTRAn, CTRB1 to CTRBn, and CTRC1 to CTRCn for each phase, respectively.
In step S620, the control circuit 280 outputs a plurality of control signals to the plurality of power cells, respectively.
