Referring to fig. 6, a circuit diagram of a single-phase two-level IGCT converter according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
Fig. 6 differs from fig. 5 in that fig. 6 is a single-phase two-level IGCT converter.
The operation principle of an IGCT converter according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 7, a schematic diagram of an IGCT converter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.
The IGCT converter 1000 provided in this embodiment includes: a power circuit 101, a current detection circuit 102, and a controller 103.
The power circuit 101 includes IGCT devices.
It should be understood that the IGCT device needs the controller 103 to send a driving signal to perform a switching operation, i.e. sending a wave means sending a driving signal, and blocking a wave means blocking the driving signal to stop controlling the IGCT device.
And a current detection circuit 102 for detecting the output current of the IGCT converter.
The controller 103 is configured to seal the IGCT device in the power circuit 101 for a first time period and reduce the current instruction value when the output current is greater than the protection threshold, remove the sealing after the first time period is reached, and seal the wave again and reduce the current instruction value again when the output current is greater than the protection threshold after the sealing is removed.
In actual operation of the IGCT converter, output current control is generally used as a main control for the output power of the IGCT converter, that is, a current command value is given, and a controller of the IGCT converter adopts a control algorithm to make the actual output current follow the current command value. When overcurrent faults occur, the whole system needs certain response time, an unstable state exists in the time, and in the unstable state time, if a large current instruction value is adopted, the stress damage risk of the IGCT device is also aggravated.
Therefore, according to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, as the switching frequency of the IGCT device is low, the switching of the IGCT device is controlled too frequently, heat accumulation is easily caused, and loss is increased. Therefore, the wave sealing can be carried out according to the output current, the current instruction value is reduced, when the output current is larger than the protection threshold value, the wave sealing is carried out again, and the current instruction value is continuously reduced. When the IGCT converter is in overcurrent, the IGCT device is not controlled to seal waves once, the current instruction value is not changed, but is gradually reduced, so that the output current can be reduced more quickly, the output current is controlled not to be in overcurrent as soon as possible, and the IGCT device is protected timely and effectively.
According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, if the output current continues to be over-current after the current instruction value is reduced, the cycle number can be controlled in a circulating manner, the cycle number is not particularly limited, for example, in order to reduce the output current quickly, the cycle number can be set, and hierarchical control is performed according to the cycle number.
In addition, in order to realize rapid reduction of the output current, the current command value may be reduced to a greater extent, for example, the controller is further configured to reduce the current command value after the IGCT device in the power circuit is sealed for the second time period, where a reduced amplitude of the current command value is greater than a first amplitude, and the first amplitude is a maximum amplitude value of the current command value reduced when the sealing frequency is less than or equal to a first set frequency Nt.
The embodiment of the application does not specifically limit that when the number of times of wave blocking is less than or equal to the first set number of times Nt, the amplitude of the current instruction value is reduced each time, the amplitude of reduction each time is equal, and the amplitude of reduction each time is larger and larger. For example, nt is 5, and the current command value decreases by 2% after each block. Or, the current command value is reduced by 2% for the first time of wave sealing, by 3% for the second time of wave sealing, by 4% for the third time of wave sealing, and by 5% for the fourth time of wave sealing.
In addition, according to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, each time the current command value is reduced, the current command value may be directly reduced at one time, or may be gradually reduced according to a slope, for example, 2%, the current command value may be reduced at one time by 2%, or may be reduced according to a slope proportion of 0.25, that is, by 0.5% each time. And the controller is specifically used for controlling the current instruction value to be gradually reduced according to a slope every time when the wave blocking frequency is less than or equal to the first set frequency Nt.
Whether the protection threshold value changes is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the application, for example, the protection threshold value does not change to a fixed value in the whole overcurrent protection process. In addition, the protection process can be shortened, and the protection threshold value is reduced after overcurrent and wave-sealing are carried out. I.e. the controller, is further adapted to control the guard threshold to be gradually lowered as the number of envelope times increases.
If the wave blocking times are more, the IGCT converter still has overcurrent, in order to protect the IGCT device and the IGCT system, the IGCT converter needs to be stopped, namely the controller is used for controlling the IGCT converter to be stopped when the wave blocking times are larger than a second set time Mt, and the second set time Mt is larger than a first set time Nt.
One specific implementation is described below in conjunction with the figures.
Referring to fig. 8, a flowchart of an overcurrent protection method for an IGCT converter is shown.
S801: the output current is larger than the protection threshold, primary wave sealing is executed, and the first time period T is maintained; the reduced current command value is a% of the original current command value.
S802: and when the T time is up, the wave sealing is released, namely the wave opening is carried out. If the output current is again larger than the protection threshold, returning to S801; and the frequency of wave sealing is 1, whether the frequency of wave sealing is N is larger than a first set frequency Nt is judged, if yes, S803 is executed;
s803: and performing TL wave sealing for a second time period, wherein TL is greater than T. And (5) removing the wave blocking after the wave blocking times are increased by 1,TL, and reducing the current command value to be b% of the last current command value. b is greater than a, and a and b are both numbers greater than zero and less than 100.
S804: if the output current is again greater than the protection threshold, return is made to S803.
S805: and if the wave blocking times are greater than a second set time Mt, and Mt is greater than Nt, controlling the IGCT converter to stop.
And if the normal operation time of the IGCT converter exceeds the preset time TN, judging that the IGCT converter leaves the overcurrent fault, and resetting all counters.
The above embodiments are only described by taking the division of the wave blocking times into two stages as an example, and may also be divided into more stages. The magnitude of decrease in the current command value decreases together with the level of the number of times of wave blocking.
The IGCT converter provided by the embodiment can be used for gradually controlling the sealing wave to open the wave and reducing the current instruction value when overcurrent faults occur, so that the output current can be rapidly reduced, the damage risk of an IGCT device can be effectively reduced, and the safety of the IGCT converter is ensured to pass through an unstable stage.
In addition, when the converter works normally, namely the output current of the IGCT converter does not exceed the protection threshold value, the controller controls the output current to follow the current instruction value.
Based on the IGCT converter provided in the above embodiments, the embodiments of the present application further provide a power supply system, and the following description is provided with the accompanying drawings for detailed description.
The power supply system provided by the embodiment comprises the IGCT converter introduced in any one of the above embodiments;

Because the IGCT converter can quickly and safely pass over the overcurrent fault, the safe operation of a power supply system can be ensured.
Referring to fig. 9, the figure is a schematic diagram of a power supply system according to an embodiment of the present application.
Taking a three-phase two-level power supply system as an example, because the voltage of the power grid is high, it is necessary that the output voltage of the IGCT converter in the power supply system is also high, and therefore, each phase may include a plurality of converter arm circuits shown in fig. 6 connected in series, as shown in fig. 9, and the AC output terminals are AC PhA, AC PhB, and AC PhC, respectively.
