Description

Topological structure of modular cascade direct current circuit breaker and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention discloses a topological structure of a modular cascade direct current breaker and a control method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of power electronics.
Background
Dc networks have many advantages over ac networks. For example, a direct current power grid is more convenient for large-scale access and application of distributed renewable energy sources. Actually, photovoltaic power generation is direct current power generation, and wind power generation also incorporates alternating current power grid through the form of rectification first and then inversion in reality, and various energy storage modes are also to store electric energy in the form of direct current, if adopt direct current power grid just can realize the direct access of distributed new forms of energy and save the inversion link, have reduced the manufacturing cost of equipment, the loss when also having reduced the contravariant conversion simultaneously. In addition, the direct current power grid is more convenient for the direct use of the electric energy of the power utilization end. At present, most electric equipment at an electric end finally needs direct current, such as charging of an electric automobile, a notebook computer and the like, and electric equipment containing an alternating current motor load also comprises a rectifier and an inverter, so that the use of the rectifier can be reduced through a direct current distribution network, the use quantity of semiconductors is reduced, and the electric energy loss in the rectifying process is also reduced. The direct current power grid is also beneficial to improving the power quality of the power grid, improving the reliability of power supply, improving the power supply capacity and reducing the construction cost of the power grid.
The critical protection equipment required in a dc power grid is the dc circuit breaker, which plays a vital role in fault handling of the dc power grid system and safe and reliable operation of the protection system. In a typical radial dc power distribution system, a large number of dc breakers are required to ensure safe operation of the system. Compared with the traditional alternating current circuit breaker, the development of the direct current circuit breaker faces a great difficulty. In an ac system, a circuit breaker may extinguish an arc using the natural zero crossing of a current cycle, cutting off the fault current. However, in the dc system, there is no zero crossing point of the current, which makes the development of the dc current breaking technology face great technical difficulties. Meanwhile, the direct current system puts higher requirements on the response speed and the breaking speed of the circuit breaker. Since the damping of the dc system is lower than that of the ac system, the rate of rise of the fault current is large after a fault occurs, and the system is required to cut off the fault current in a short time to protect the safety of the system. In addition, the short-circuit current limiting inductor in the direct-current system line can induce a large voltage while switching off the current, and the voltage and the direct-current bus voltage act on the circuit breaker together, so that the voltage is increased sharply. Meanwhile, the short-circuit energy stored in the current-limiting inductor also needs to be exhausted in the breaking time. Compared with a mechanical breaker, the solid-state direct-current breaker adopting the power semiconductor device breaks short-circuit current by utilizing the switching action of the power semiconductor device, and energy absorption devices such as an external lightning arrester absorb short-circuit energy stored on a current-limiting reactance in the short-circuit process, so that the direct-current short-circuit current can be quickly broken by the excellent characteristic, and the direct-current system can be quickly and reliably protected.
At present, the voltage grade of commercial power semiconductor devices is low, the requirements of direct current circuit breakers are difficult to meet, and the voltage-resistant grade of a solid state direct current circuit breaker needs to be improved by adopting a device cascade mode. The driving control scheme of the cascade device in the existing solid-state direct current breaker is complex, each power device needs one set of driving control and power supply system, meanwhile, the voltage of the cascade device is unbalanced due to the physical parameters of the device and the time delay dispersion of the driving circuit, and an additional power end or driving end voltage balancing circuit is needed to guarantee safe operation.
In order to solve the complexity of power device cascade drive and voltage-sharing control in the dc circuit breaker and improve the configuration flexibility of voltage level change, it is necessary to provide a simple and reliable modular dc circuit breaker.

Detailed Description
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the dc circuit breaker of the present invention uses a breaking submodule composed of a power semiconductor, a small number of diodes, and a passive element as a core unit, and selects an appropriate number of submodules to cascade according to a voltage class of a dc system to form a cascade breaking substring unit as an actuator to break a short-circuit current. Meanwhile, the hybrid direct current breaker topology is formed by matching the hybrid direct current breaker topology with a power semiconductor and a mechanical switch. The direct current circuit breaker is composed of a master control system, a driving unit, a cascade breaking substring unit, a vibration suppression unit and a power connection unit. The core unit for executing short-circuit current breaking is a cascade breaking sub-string unit, the master control system supplies power and controls the driving unit through a control wire harness, the driving unit drives and controls the cascade breaking sub-string unit through two control wires to carry out breaking operation of direct-current short-circuit current, and driving control and voltage balance in dynamic and static processes of breaking sub-modules in the cascade breaking sub-string unit are completed by an auxiliary circuit consisting of internal diodes and passive elements. The power connection unit is used as an external interface and is connected into the direct current transmission and distribution system in series. In the operation process of the direct-current circuit breaker, the voltage of a power semiconductor device in the cascade disjunction sub-string unit is balanced, and the direct-current can quickly and reliably disjunction the short-circuit current, so that the safe and reliable operation of a direct-current system is guaranteed.
The cascade connection breaking sub-string unit comprises n cascade connection breaking sub-modules, wherein n is determined by the voltage grade of a power semiconductor device in each breaking sub-module and the voltage grade of a direct current system. The breaking submodule (1) directly connected with the driving unit is an active control module, and the rest breaking submodules (n) are driven modules (n-1), wherein n is more than or equal to 2. The disjunction sub-modules are connected with each other by a control line and a power line. The cascade breaking sub-string unit of the direct-current circuit breaker is composed of a plurality of modularized breaking sub-modules. The input and output terminals of the breaking submodule are four, two of the input and output terminals are driving terminals, and the other two input and output terminals are power terminals. And the power terminals of two adjacent breaking submodules are connected, and the driving terminals are connected.

And the on-off control and dynamic and static voltage balance of the sub-modules are realized through a peripheral circuit. In order to improve the current level, the power device in the disjunction submodule can be formed by connecting a plurality of power devices with smaller current levels in parallel.
The oscillation suppression unit is connected between the cascade breaking sub-string unit and the power connection unit, and suppresses voltage oscillation at two ends of the cascade breaking sub-unit after short-circuit current is broken, so that the voltage oscillation is prevented from being coupled to two ends of a breaking sub-module, and further, misoperation of a power device in the sub-module is prevented. The oscillation suppression unit is composed of a group string formed by cascading single or multiple diodes. The number of the cascade diodes is determined by the voltage grade of the direct current system and the voltage-resistant grade of the selected diode. And the cathode of a diode in the oscillation suppression unit is connected with the cascade disjunction sub-string unit, and the anode of the diode in the oscillation suppression unit is connected with the anode power terminal of the power connection unit.

When the system detects that a short-circuit fault occurs, the master control system sends a turn-off signal to the driving unit, the driving levels at two ends of an output control terminal of the driving unit are changed from high to low, and then the cascade sub-string breaking unit is controlled to execute short-circuit current breaking operation. And after the short-circuit energy is completely absorbed, the power semiconductor devices in the cascade breaking sub-string units are in an off state, and the direct-current circuit breaker is in an off state. When the short-circuit fault is relieved, the driving levels at two ends of an output control terminal of the driving unit are controlled to be changed from low to high by the master control system, the total power devices of the cascade breaking sub-string unit are controlled to be switched on, the load current flows through a diode in the oscillation suppression unit and a power semiconductor device switching-on channel in the cascade breaking sub-string unit, and the direct-current circuit breaker is in a switching-on state.
The direct current breaker can be connected with an auxiliary branch circuit consisting of a mechanical switch and a power semiconductor switch in parallel to form a hybrid direct current breaker. The control method comprises the following steps: when the direct current system is in a normal working state, the load current flows through a conducting branch circuit formed by the mechanical switch and the first power semiconductor switch. At the moment, the cascade breaking submodule in the direct current breaker topology is in a breaking state, and the second power semiconductor switch is in a breaking state. When the direct current system has a short-circuit fault, the master control system controls the cascade breaking sub-module in the direct current breaker topology to be switched on, and meanwhile, the second power semiconductor switch is controlled to be switched on. After the direct current breaker topology and the second power semiconductor switch are completely switched on, the power semiconductor 1 is controlled to be switched off, short-circuit current is transferred to the direct current breaker topology, after the current transfer is finished, the mechanical switch is switched off, the first power semiconductor switch is switched on, and the hybrid direct current breaker is ready to break the short-circuit current.
