Description

Universal local protection method and circuit for neutral point clamped three-level converter
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electronic circuits, in particular to a universal local protection method and circuit for a neutral point clamped three-level converter.
Background
Three-level converters have many advantages over two-level converters. The three-level converter can output more level values, so that an inverter circuit formed by the three-level converter has lower harmonic content and voltage stress when generating sine waves; meanwhile, for the same voltage class, each power tube in the three-level converter theoretically only bears half of the bus voltage, so that the switching loss is reduced, the switching frequency is improved, the heat balance cost is reduced, and the overall efficiency is improved.
However, of the 16 theoretical switch state combinations of the three-level converter, only 6 combinations belong to the safety switch state, and the remaining 10 combinations may or necessarily cause an overcurrent or overvoltage accident. Therefore, in order to ensure that the three-level converter always operates in the safety switching state, each power tube needs to perform switching operations in a certain order. Even when an overcurrent or undervoltage fault occurs in a certain power tube, the protection switch-off can be executed only by waiting for the advance action of other power tubes, so that the control complexity and the risk of failure of the power tube are improved. Considering that the protection turn-off sequence of each power tube needs to be processed and generated by an upper controller under the general condition, the data transmission time and the digital circuit processing time can further prolong the total protection time of the fault power tube, thereby causing larger damage to the fault power tube.
Therefore, if the localization processing can be performed on the failure at the drive unit, the failure duration can be shortened and the protection speed can be increased. On the other hand, since the positions of the power tubes are different, the turn-off sequences to be followed by the power tubes are different when faults occur, which may cause the logic control circuits of the power tubes at different positions to be different; if the logic control circuits in the driving units can be consistent, the customization of the using positions of the driving units can be realized, and the universal driving board is more beneficial to mass production and replacement.
