Background technology
In this information and more and more important epoch of speed, computer and network becomes daily life and the indispensable product of economic industry.Yet, no matter be that important electron equipment such as computer or network are urgent often and responsive, even one second electric power interruption, all might make the data of handling or transmitting interrupt, cause imponderable loss, therefore a highly reliable power supply requirement just arises at the historic moment.For in response to this demand, the demand of uninterruptible power system just increases severely with day.
The basic framework of a uninterrupted power supply provides system capacity for the AC and DC input, general alternating current input power supplying mostly is civil power, or generator etc., the direct current intake then mostly is battery, exchange output the electronic load energy is provided, and the work of a controller control system, when main AC power lost efficacy, be converted to the backup DC power supply, continuing provides energy to urgent and responsive load.Exchanging output just often, the part that connects input terminal at first is an input filter, filter the high-order interference noise that input produces, what be connected with input filter generally is that an AC/DC transducer is connected to inner dc energy depots (DC bus bank), what connecting the dc energy depots is a DC/AC inverter (Inverter), via output filter optionally, provide energy to load.When the interchange input is unusual, the DC power supply of backup can be connected to the dc energy depots via the DC/DC transducer, substitute to exchange input and to dc energy depots produce power, make the inverter of being mentioned DC power supply to be converted to AC power by the dc energy depots, continuing provides continual energy to load.Simultaneously, such uninterrupted power supply also can comprise a charger usually, when DC power supply is a battery, and during its depleted of energy, can be after AC power be replied, to battery charge.Because above-mentioned mechanism, can be so that urgent and sensitive electronic devices is subjected to suitable protection.Yet along with load equipment evolution, specification difference is increasing, when load need be increased, uninterrupted power supply ability originally may be not enough, or along with the requirement of reliability is more and more higher, uninterruptible power system is designed to modularization, has parallel connection and the redundant demand trend that also is inevitable.
Yet, modular like this uninterruptible power system, needs can show the characteristic of a uninterruptible power system, can increase module with the expansion capacity on the one hand, on the other hand, when having the part assembly to damage therein, also must substitute to guarantee the reliability of system at once; These demands, need the tight different capacity intermodule that requires to produce excessive circulation in control technology, so that cause the damage of system, need to do one's utmost to avoid the possibility of single point failure owing in the product design again, and will as far as possible each part of product be carried out backup management.By being technology or the product design that derives, in academia or industrial quarters, all by extensive discussions, as the guardian technique of system.
Generally speaking, this a kind of controlling Design is nothing more than wired parallel way, as the 5th, 257, No. 180 patent of invention cases of the U.S. " the parallel operation control system of the interchange output inverter of tool circulation restriction ".On the other hand, it then is wireless Parallel Control mode, as the U.S. the 5th, 745, No. 356 patent of invention cases " the independent load allocating of AC power supply system in parallel ", or the U.S. the 6th, 118, No. 680 patent of invention cases " inverter of parallel connection in an AC power supply, the method and apparatus of its load allocating " etc.
In wired control method, mostly adopt the active shunt methods,, utilize a clock signal to make the output voltage Phase synchronization of all power models with general known skill, in the means of utilizing such as indivedual load current messages such as exchange, make the load allocating balance also as expected.Yet, such method, wiring itself of being used in parallel promptly may cause single point failure.
In the 6th, 121, No. 695 invention cases of the U.S., though each power model can be regarded other Uninterruptible Power Module one by one as, also can remove independent use, yet, as parallel connection the time, each module also needs respectively corresponding more in addition other controller in the cabinet, to carry out calculating in parallel, also be connected owing to the direct current depots simultaneously, in case the direct current depots damages, whole system can not be used, and causes the design of another single point failure again; Uninterruptible Power Module neither really independently operate in system simultaneously; What is more, because its battery is not in parallel, may cause and make each intermodule discharge BACKUP TIME difference because of battery behavior is different, also can't increase the time of discharge backup via direct increase external battery, simultaneously, the transition of its all intermodules, it is method via the most of principles of what is called, signal between power model on average obtains via impedance matching, thereby can't obtain a systematic management, also can't change by the setting in the external world.
Moreover, the U.S. the 6th, 201, No. 319 patent of invention cases are utilized (the Main Intelligence Module of control centre of an outside, MIM) manage, simultaneously with redundant intelligent object (RIM, Redundant Intelligence Module) as backup management, yet, RIM under normal circumstances, just idle and cause the waste of system, simultaneously, because the required important message of each power model, as input voltage, frequency, output voltage, frequency, electric currents etc. all are placed in the control centre (MIM), no matter be that MIM or RIM lost efficacy, or even, all can cause the single point failure of system at the online open circuit that connects on MIM/RIM and the individual modules.
At last, proposed to select the method for virtual center, though can avoid the waste of above-mentioned intelligent object RIM and the possibility that reduces single point failure in the 6th, 396, No. 170 patent of invention cases of the U.S..Yet the way that it proposed because of needs produce a secondary main control module in addition, therefore can not be used when only there is a Uninterruptible Power Module in system.And, increase the possibility of a single point failure again because of the existence of synchronous triggering line.Simultaneously, the hardware and software framework of the Redundancy Management pattern that proposes (RMB) needs complicated its input and output direction of judgement and decision main control module, secondary main control module and module of the same generation; In addition, its synchronous triggering line also needs to take a high-grade interrupt resources, and the system that makes need deal with the way to manage of a high communication speed; What is more, when indivedual Uninterruptible Power Module because of assembly or connecting interface fault, be in can not transition state, but be limited by the transition by force of main control module, can cause system bigger fault to occur on the contrary may.
From the above, existing parallel system still can't effectively solve the problem of single point failure, thereby can't guarantee the reliability of parallel system, so the Parallel Control of relevant Uninterruptible Power Module obviously is further improved, to seek feasible solution.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, main purpose of the present invention is guaranteed the expansion capacity and is promoted redundancy and the Uninterruptible Power Module control method for parallel of reliability providing a kind of.

This controlled in wireless parallel operation pattern adopts so-called descent method (droop method), and effective power and reactance capacity that it is known by detecting indivedual Uninterruptible Power Module are carried out the control of phase place and amplitude to Uninterruptible Power Module.
The present invention's time purpose is to provide a kind of Uninterruptible Power Module parallel system with high-reliability.
For reaching the major technique means that purpose of the present invention is taked, make this parallel system comprise one or more Uninterruptible Power Module at least, establish controller in each Uninterruptible Power Module with independent s operation control function in parallel, to exchange input, direct current input again and exchange output and be in parallel with other Uninterruptible Power Module, and make its controller via joint control system bus (PCB in the lump, Parallel Control Bus) controller with other module constitutes the online and exchange message of signal, and then reach load average and distribute, the function of system stability operation.
This Uninterruptible Power Module is made up of an input filter, an AC/DC transducer, a dc energy depots, a DC/AC inverter etc.; And further include:

Embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, the system architecture schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the uninterruptible power system 100 that it is made up of at least one Uninterruptible Power Module 10, establish controller 17 in each Uninterruptible Power Module 10 with multi-job pattern and s operation control function in parallel, to exchange input again, the direct current input is in parallel with exchanging to export with other Uninterruptible Power Module 10, utilize its controller 17 via joint control system bus (PCB in the lump again, Parallel ControlBus) controller 17 with other module constitutes the online and exchange message of signal, and then reach load average and distribute, the function of system stability operation.
Because the Uninterruptible Power Module 10 in the system possesses functions such as identical self-role's detection, main control module competition, calculation process in parallel; So can in parallel system, carry out following mode of operation respectively:
Functional role detects and sets;
The new module mode of operation;
The main control module mode of operation;
The slave module mode of operation; Wherein:
The concrete workflow of this " functional role detects and sets " is (step 611~615 as shown in Figure 6, after program begins, Uninterruptible Power Module 10 will confirm itself to be main control module (Master), slave module (Slave) or new module (New) in regular turn, and enter the role who is set.
The idiographic flow of this new module mode of operation as shown in Figure 7, it comprises the mechanism of main control module competition and single module running, when a new Uninterruptible Power Module is inserted in the system, after power initiation/activation, before not obtaining role's setting, promptly first self establishment is a new module.A new module, at first can check whether there is main control module 711 in the parallel system,, promptly wait the order 712 of main control module issue slave module requirement if there has been main control module in the system, this querying command is a kind of regular inquiry, and carries out with the form of interrupting:
When new module is received the requirement order of main control module, understand the role's change setting slave module 713 of oneself, and finish this flow process.Otherwise if do not arrive break period, new module will directly finish this operating process, and waits for the inquiry of main control module.On the other hand, when a new module when power supply activates, as do not find the existence of main control module, and represent that promptly there is one or more module in this system, this module must be confirmed whether to have only a module or carry out main control module competition 714 with other module.New module all can be issued a string data group 715 that contains the production identification code, and the data of check to receive returning whether with send whether identical, in the present embodiment, can utilize the ardware feature of CAN (Control Area Network) itself, have two states with upper module in system, and send simultaneously under the situation of identification code, the meeting of electronegative potential is won, the data group of successful withdrawal itself and become main control module, remaining then becomes slave module.If the words of having only a module to exist in the system, data group that also can't recovery itself, at this moment, through trial 716~718 greater than a Preset Time, when still not having main control module to occur in the system, has only the module of existence in the i.e. identification system, so set this as main control module 719.
Because the competition of main control module only need be distinguished identification code, do not need multiplier, can save meaningless waste of time, so detect the needed time, in present embodiment, be about 1.5ms, be the input required time of main control module competition just often that exchanges, even consider battery mode, also only need be with time lengthening to 3.0ms, under suitable conversion rate (slew rate) is arranged, can not produce any influence fully to output, be a reliable again fast mode, also do not need the resource of excess waste microprocessor.
As shown in Figure 8, then disclose the workflow of a slave module.In system, be set the Uninterruptible Power Module of slave module, can check at first whether main control module exists 811, if main control module because of some reason not existing, can at once oneself be changed to new module 812, through competition to select main control module again; Otherwise, if main control module exists, and then can reply 813 according to the query request of main control module.
The idiographic flow of this main control module mode of operation as shown in Figure 9, when a Uninterruptible Power Module is set to main control module in system, whether at first can check in regular turn has new module to add system 911, if have, can judge that whether the slave module in system is less than predetermined number 912 at present, if less than predetermined number, the role who then gives new adding module is slave module 913, but as, then ignore and refuse the possibility 914 of new module adding system greater than default quantity; Since new add module and system can add the quantity of module may more than one, can not add again till any one module so must proceed to system.
Behind the end-of-job of checking new module, can begin to check the state 915 of slave module: main control module also is to inquire about the reaction 916 that has had slave module in regular turn, when slave module response data 917, the expression slave module exists, otherwise, can inquire again one time 918, to confirm whether slave module is removed 919.Then, can check the priority level of main control module and whether deposit a plurality of main control modules 920, if the former be for main control module because of some reason transition to battery mode, and other slave module is arranged in the system is under the situation of city's power mode, promptly carry out main control module competition 921 again, making to become the main control module of system at the Uninterruptible Power Module of city's power mode; The latter then guards against for system's generation unusual condition.All reply when all slave modules and to finish 922, be i.e. process ends.
Except that this mode of operation, Uninterruptible Power Module 10 further has a synchronous transition mode of operation, and its idiographic flow as shown in figure 10, at first, main control module can check earlier whether system whether needs transition and carry out the preparation 411 of transition, if not, process ends then.If system needs transition, then by the module of carrying out the main control module mode of operation to itself, the order 412 of slave module and the transition of new module broadcast synchronization, then transition 413 synchronously on default choice point.So-called default choice point most likely is to utilize switching place at zero point of voltage as the synchronous transition in trigger point, process ends then.Synchronous transition herein, be that state is divided into urgent and not urgent two states in the present embodiment, determine by main control module, or decide transition in its sole discretion by individual other module: the so-called state of emergency is meant that for example the situation of overload takes place, when main control module transships in the judgement load, and this moment, civil power was also in permissible scope, must make that all modules all forward bypass to from inverter in the system; If Uninterruptible Power Module two-layer framework in this embodiment, transition between civil power and battery can't directly have influence on power-off time, and then cause load power source to interrupt, so, civil power between Uninterruptible Power Module/battery mode transition, can by each module judge whether individually can be under city's power mode or battery mode operate as normal, decide whether transition in its sole discretion, otherwise the part block that some modules may take place is fault, but, cause more insecure result such as multiple faults by main control module transition by force.
Moreover the Uninterruptible Power Module in the system further provides the transition pattern of an alternative (optional), has occurred some fault on control line, can be exchanged into the operator scheme of controlled in wireless parallel connection.Generally speaking, so-called controlled in wireless principle of parallel mostly as shown in figure 11, at inductance of inverter output series connection, utilize the effect of inductance, can utilize meritorious (active power) and idle (reactive power) to calculate required voltage difference and frequency-splitting, the calculating principle is as follows, (equation and literal are overlapping)
δ
iBe output V
oWith V
iBetween angle.
According to following formula, can find meritorious relevant, and idle relevant with output amplitude with the output phase angle, so can utilize following default pass formula again, stable negative feedback system that phase place and amplitude are controlled during to parallel connection with formation.(equation and literal are overlapping)

More than not describing the person is so-called descent method (droop method) controlled in wireless parallel way, and it carries out the control of phase place and amplitude by detecting meritorious and idle that indivedual Uninterruptible Power Module knows to Uninterruptible Power Module.Its control flow is as described in Figure 12:
Under wireless Parallel Control pattern, at first can detect Parallel Control bus (PCB) whether normal 511, refer in particular to main control module and set line, synchronous sequence signal line:, then keep the pattern and the process ends 512 of wired parallel operation if normally or/and whether simulation composite signal circuit is normal; If the control of being mentioned is unusual with bus, then can enter the controlled in wireless paralleling model of being mentioned 513, select a main control module but still keep by communication bus, in order to demonstration, or the work such as coordination control of commentaries on classics bypass, adjust amplitude and phase place according to above-mentioned equation, can check that then the voltage magnitude that exchanges input and frequency are whether in scope 514, if words, output can be phase-locked 515 to exchanging input, take place in inside simultaneously unusual 516, but communication bus just often 517, can have the ability of changeing bypass 518, otherwise all enter into end step.In program, if alternating current input voltage magnitude and/or frequency not in desired extent, then output is not phase-locked to importing, and takes place when unusual 519 in inside, no matter whether communication bus normal, all can't transition to bypass, so this module must be closed 520; Again or, though alternating current input voltage magnitude and frequency in desired extent, communication bus is unusual, then confirm setting is to take place in inside when unusual, also can closing module.
By on the mode that proposed, the present invention provides the reliable paralleling model except the above-mentioned main control module of mentioning, when part Control on Communication bus is unusual, the pattern that promptly changes the controlled in wireless parallel connection over to further is provided, be that other all parallel operation can not provide, in conjunction with the wired and mode controlled in wireless parallel connection, provide load reliable power supply, improved the demand of load reliability greatly.
The above person is the hybrid central control method that the present invention emphasizes, by the control method of disperseing as the part that is, can be so that general complete central control type of system or complete decentralized control formula provide higher reliability, simultaneously, because the redundancy of system is the Uninterruptible Power Module number in this way, the more external person of control centre of its redundancy is evident as height, also without any in the control circuit control centre externally, its reliability improves especially widely; Further, owing to only have main control module and slave module (not needing so-called secondary main control module) in the system, so, even have only a Uninterruptible Power Module, but also normal running, and possess preferable flexibility; Obviously the present invention proposes one and take into account redundancy, reliability and Flexibility Control method.
