A first diode D1 and a second diode D2 are connected in reverse series, and a third diode D3 and a fourth diode D4 are connected in reverse series; the first thyristor T1 and the third thyristor T3 are connected in series in the same direction, and the second thyristor T2 and the fourth thyristor T4 are connected in series in the same direction; a first arrester MOV1 and a third mechanical switch S are connected in series between the series connection of the first thyristor T1 and the third thyristor T3 and the series connection of the second thyristor T2 and the fourth thyristor T4; the commutation capacitor C and the commutation inductor L are connected in series between the series connection of the first thyristor T1 and the third thyristor T3 and the series connection of the second thyristor T2 and the fourth thyristor T4.

When short-circuit fault occurs, triggering a second thyristor T2 and a fourth thyristor T4 to be conducted, turning off the load transfer switch unit, and sending a brake separating instruction to the ultra-fast mechanical switch unit; when the ultra-fast mechanical switch unit reaches a proper opening distance and is enough to bear a certain voltage, the first thyristor T1 is controlled to be conducted, the current flowing to the second thyristor T2 is transferred to the first thyristor T1, when the current of the second thyristor T2 crosses zero, the power supply side continues to charge the commutation capacitor, the polarity of the voltage of the commutation capacitor is reversed, the current flowing to the first thyristor T1 and the fourth thyristor T4 is gradually reduced, when the voltage of the commutation capacitor reaches a certain value, the current flowing through the first thyristor T1 and the fourth thyristor T4 returns to zero, the first thyristor T1 and the fourth thyristor T4 are automatically turned off, the MOV action of the second arrester absorbs the energy stored by an inductive element of a system and limits the overvoltage, the third mechanical switch S of the arrester MOV1 is conducted, the energy stored by the commutation capacitor C is absorbed and limits the voltage of the commutation capacitor to a specified value, and preparation is made for next reclosing.
Due to the symmetrical design of the diodes of the capacitance commutation module, when the direction of the fault current is changed, the direction of the fault current can be corrected to the direction of the current passing through the first thyristor T1, the second thyristor T2, the third thyristor T3 and the fourth thyristor T4.
In addition, due to the arrangement of the voltage polarity of the commutation capacitor, when the commutation capacitor C is put into current limiting, the voltage at the two ends of the commutation capacitor C, namely the voltage at the two ends of the ultrafast mechanical switch UFD and the load transfer switch LCS, is reduced to zero and then is increased continuously, and the commutation capacitor C is put into use after the ultrafast mechanical switch reaches a certain opening distance, so that the voltage at the two ends of the ultrafast mechanical switch UFD and the load transfer switch LCS can be ensured to be at a lower value under the condition that the capacitance is smaller, and the successful turn-off of the ultrafast mechanical switch UFD and the load transfer switch LCS is further ensured.

When the breaker successfully cuts off the fault current, only the voltage of the conversion capacitor is limited to a set value, and the energy of the voltage of the conversion capacitor C is not required to be discharged completely, so that the energy discharge time of the conversion capacitor C is effectively reduced, the next reclosing of the breaker is guaranteed, and the energy absorption of the MOV1 of the first arrester is effectively reduced.
The voltage of the commutation capacitor in the capacitor commutation unit is reduced to zero firstly and then is increased continuously, so that the current flowing through the commutation capacitor is reduced continuously, when the voltage of the commutation capacitor reaches the action voltage of the lightning arrester, the lightning arrester acts, the current of an inductive element of the system is small, the energy storage of the inductive element is small, and the MOV energy absorption of the second lightning arrester is small.
In the invention, the bidirectional hybrid direct-current circuit breaker based on capacitance commutation can quickly break the fault, the recovery time of each device in the circuit breaker is short, and the requirement of breaking the fault current again after the system is reclosed can be met. The devices with longer action time in the circuit breaker mainly comprise a first arrester MOV1, a second arrester MOV and a third mechanical switch S. The second arrester MOV is used for absorbing energy storage of an inductive element of a system and limiting overvoltage, the first arrester MOV1 is used for absorbing energy storage of a commutation capacitor C and limiting voltage of the commutation capacitor C to a specified value after a breaker successfully cuts off a fault, the voltage of the commutation capacitor C is only limited to the set value after the breaker successfully cuts off the fault current, the energy of the voltage of the commutation capacitor C is not required to be fully discharged, the energy discharge time of the commutation capacitor C is effectively reduced, guarantee is provided for next reclosing of the breaker, the energy absorption of the first arrester MOV1 is effectively reduced, the energy absorption time of the second arrester MOV and the energy absorption time of the first arrester MOV1 are both in the 10ms magnitude, the opening and closing time of the third mechanical switch S under zero current is also in the 10ms magnitude, compared with the reclosing again in hundreds of milliseconds after the fault, the internal devices of the breaker can be sufficiently recovered to the required state, the requirement of system reclosing is met.
As shown in fig. 3 to 6, the operation process of the bidirectional hybrid dc circuit breaker based on the capacitive commutation is described as follows: the bidirectional hybrid direct current breaker based on capacitance commutation cuts off fault current and is mainly divided into four stages, namely a commutation preparation stage, a commutation stage, a second arrester MOV energy absorption stage and a first arrester MOV1 energy absorption stage, and the action principle of each stage is detailed.
As shown in fig. 3, the commutation preparation stage: at the stage T0-T1, the system normally runs, and the first thyristor T1, the second thyristor T2, the third thyristor T3, the fourth thyristor T4 and the mechanical switch S are all in an off state; at time t1, the system has a short circuit fault, assuming that fault current flows from left to right. At time T2, the detection device determines that a short-circuit fault occurs in the system, immediately triggers the second thyristor T2 and the fourth thyristor T4 to conduct, sends a turn-off command to the load switch LCS and a brake-off command to the ultrafast mechanical switch UFD, and transfers the current from the branch where the load switch LCS and the ultrafast mechanical switch UFD are located to the branch where the second thyristor T2 and the fourth thyristor T4 are located. At time t3, the UFD has reached a certain opening distance and can withstand a certain voltage without arcing.
As shown in fig. 4, the commutation phase: at the time of T3, the first thyristor T1 is triggered and switched on, the current flowing to the second thyristor T2 gradually transfers to the branch where the first thyristor T1 and the commutation capacitor are located, at the time of T4, the current of the second thyristor T2 is automatically switched off after zero crossing, and after the second thyristor T2 is switched off, the voltage of the commutation capacitor is firstly reduced to zero and then continuously increased, so that it is ensured that the second thyristor T2 does not need to immediately bear high voltage after being switched off, and the reliability of switching off the second thyristor T2 is further ensured. In the stage t 4-t 5, the UFD continues to open the brake, the fault current flows from the power supply valve side to the fault point through the converter capacitor, and at the time t5, the UFD is successfully opened; at time t6, the voltage across the MOV of the second arrester reaches its operating voltage, and the voltage polarity of the commutation capacitor changes from positive right to negative left to positive left to negative left at the initial time. Then in the period from T4 to T6, the second thyristor T2 is out of operation and the arrester has not reached the action voltage for a while.
As shown in fig. 5, the second arrester MOV energy absorbing stage: at the time of t6, when the voltage at two ends of the MOV of the second arrester reaches the action voltage, the inductive element of the absorption system starts to be operated to store energy and limit overvoltage, the current flowing through the commutation capacitor gradually transfers to the arrester, and the current of the arrester gradually increases from zero; at time t7, the voltage across the arrester rises to the arrester residual voltage. And in the stage of T7-T8, the lightning arrester keeps residual voltage, the current flowing through the commutation capacitor gradually returns to zero, and at the time of T8, the currents of the first thyristor T1 and the fourth thyristor T4 are turned off in a zero-crossing mode. And in the stage t 8-t 9, the residual voltage of the lightning arrester is kept, the current flowing through the lightning arrester is gradually reduced, and the voltage of the lightning arrester begins to be reduced from the residual voltage at the moment t 9. And at the stage of t 9-t 10, the voltage of the arrester is reduced from residual voltage to the action voltage of the arrester, the current flowing through the arrester is continuously reduced, when the voltage at two ends of the arrester is reduced to the action voltage of the arrester, the current flowing through the arrester is reduced to zero, and the MOV energy absorption of the second arrester is finished.
As shown in fig. 6, the first arrester MOV1 energy absorbing phase: and at the time t11, the third mechanical switch S is controlled to be turned on, and at the time t12, the third mechanical switch S is controlled to be successfully switched on, so that the first arrester MOV1 starts to be put into operation and absorbs part of energy stored by the commutation capacitor. At time t13, the first arrester MOV1 finishes absorbing energy, and limits the voltage of the commutation capacitor to a set value, and the polarity of the voltage of the commutation capacitor is positive left and negative right. And at the time of t14, a switching-off instruction is sent to the third mechanical switch S to control the third mechanical switch S to switch off at zero current, and at the time of t15, the third mechanical switch S is controlled to be successfully switched off, so that the circuit breaker achieves all conditions for switching off the fault again, and the requirement of system reclosing can be met. At the moment t16, the fault occurs again, and at this moment, because the polarity of the commutation capacitor voltage is reversed, the capacitor commutation module can be continuously put into operation during the fault according to the symmetry of the capacitor commutation module, and the fault current cannot be influenced when the circuit breaker is cut off again. When the fault occurs again, because the polarity of the commutation capacitor voltage changes, the operation sequence of the first thyristor T1 and the second thyristor T2 is exchanged according to the symmetry of the capacitor commutation unit, and the working sequence of the third thyristor T3 and the fourth thyristor T4 is exchanged, so that the fault current can be cut off again.
As shown in fig. 7, in the embodiment of the present invention, the ultrafast mechanical switch unit 1 is formed of the ultrafast mechanical switch UFD, has a low on-resistance and a small operation loss, and opens the fault at zero current when a short-circuit fault occurs. The load transfer switch unit 2 is mainly composed of an IGBT, and is used to cut off a fault current under a low voltage condition when a short-circuit fault occurs, and to provide a current zero-crossing turn-off condition for the ultrafast mechanical switch. The capacitance commutation unit 3 is mainly used for providing a low-voltage branch for IGBT turn-off and ultra-fast mechanical switch brake-off during fault commutation, ensuring that the IGBT and the ultra-fast mechanical switch are not required to bear high voltage in the turn-on and turn-off process, and the capacitance commutation unit has the function of self-turn-off.
The capacitance commutation unit 3 includes: a first thyristor T1, a second thyristor T2, a first mechanical switch S1, a second mechanical switch S2, a first diode D1, a second diode D2, a third diode D3, a fourth diode D4, a commutation capacitor C, a commutation inductor L, a first arrester MOV1 and a third mechanical switch S. A first diode D1 and a second diode D2 are connected in reverse series, and a third diode D3 and a fourth diode D4 are connected in reverse series; the first thyristor T1 and the first mechanical switch S1 are connected in series, the second thyristor T2 and the second mechanical switch S2 are connected in series; a first arrester MOV1 and a third mechanical switch S are connected in series between the series connection of the first thyristor T1 and the first mechanical switch S1 and the series connection of the second thyristor T2 and the second mechanical switch S2; the commutation capacitor C and the commutation inductor L are connected in series between the series connection of the first thyristor T1 and the first mechanical switch S1 and the series connection of the second thyristor T2 and the second mechanical switch S2. The first diode D1, the second diode D2, the third diode D3 and the fourth diode D4 mainly have the functions of changing the flow direction of fault current and ensuring that the circuit breaker can successfully cut off the fault current when the fault current is in any direction; the first arrester MOV1 and the third mechanical switch S are mainly used to absorb the energy of the commutation capacitor, limiting the voltage of the commutation capacitor to a specified value.
When the system normally works, the voltage polarity of the commutation capacitor is positive right and negative left, the first thyristor T1, the second thyristor T2, the first mechanical switch S1 and the third mechanical switch S are turned off, and the second mechanical switch S2 is turned on; when short-circuit fault occurs, triggering a second thyristor T2 to be switched on and switched off the load change-over switch unit, and sending a brake-separating instruction to the ultra-fast mechanical switch unit; when the ultra-fast mechanical switch unit reaches a proper opening distance enough to endure a certain voltage, the first thyristor T1 is controlled to be conducted, the current flowing to the second thyristor T2 is transferred to the first thyristor T1, when the current of the second thyristor T2 crosses zero, the second thyristor T2 is automatically turned off, the power supply side continues to charge the commutation capacitor, the polarity of the voltage of the commutation capacitor is reversed, the current flowing to the first thyristor T1 is gradually reduced, when the voltage of the commutation capacitor reaches a certain value, the current flowing through the first thyristor T1 returns to zero, the first thyristor T1 is automatically turned off, the inductive element of the arrester MOV action absorption system stores energy and limits overvoltage, the third mechanical switch S of the first arrester MOV1 is conducted, the stored energy of the commutation capacitor C is absorbed and limits the voltage of the commutation capacitor to a specified value, then a brake-off instruction is sent to the third mechanical switch S, the third mechanical switch S is controlled to be switched off at zero current, and a brake-off instruction is sent to the second mechanical switch S2, at the moment, the first thyristor T1, the second thyristor T2 and the first mechanical switch S1 are all in an off state, the second mechanical switch S2 can be slowly switched off under zero current and zero withstand voltage, arcing risks do not exist, when the first mechanical switch S1 and the third mechanical switch S are successfully switched off, the first mechanical switch S1 sends a switching-on instruction, then the first mechanical switch S1 is successfully switched on, and therefore the breaker achieves all conditions of breaking faults again, and the requirement of system reclosing can be met. The time from the first time of breaking the fault current to the reclosing of the breaker of the direct-current power grid is generally about 300ms, and the action time of an internal device of the breaker and the action time of a mechanical switch during the fault period are far less than 300ms, so that the requirement of system reclosing can be met.
If the fault is not eliminated after reclosing or the next fault occurs, at the moment, the first mechanical switch S1 is switched on due to the fact that the voltage polarity of the commutation capacitor is reversed, according to the symmetry of the capacitor commutation module, the action sequence of the first thyristor T1 and the action sequence of the second thyristor T2 are exchanged when the fault occurs, the action sequence of the first mechanical switch S1 and the action sequence of the second mechanical switch S2 are exchanged, the action sequence of other devices of the circuit breaker is unchanged, and the fault current cannot be influenced when the circuit breaker is switched off again.
Due to the symmetrical design of the diodes of the capacitance commutation module, the direction of the fault current can be corrected to the direction of the current passing through the first thyristor T1, the second thyristor T2, the third thyristor T3 and the fourth thyristor T4 when the direction of the fault current changes, and the two thyristors are utilized to realize the bidirectional breaking and reclosing of the fault current and then the fault current is broken again.
The circuit breaker has obvious advantages when the circuit breaker is used for breaking small fault current, and can meet the requirement that the fault current of a direct current power grid is smaller than rated current. Because the capacity of the commutation capacitor of the required circuit breaker is small, the voltage of the commutation capacitor can be quickly charged to a higher value by a small fault current to block the fault current.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
