Description

この発明は、商用電源異常時に負荷に電力を供給する無停電電源装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an uninterruptible power supply that supplies power to a load when a commercial power supply is abnormal.

従来の無停電電源装置においては、交流電源から、直流出力端間に大容量コンデンサを接続したコンバータ、および個々のアームに逆並列ダイオードを接続した電圧型インバータを介して、負荷に交流電力を供給する無停電電源装置において、大容量コンデンサの初期充電時に、大容量コンデンサの充電電流が過大にならないように電流の位相制御を行う初期充電制御手段と、装置運転停止に伴う大容量コンデンサの完全放電時に、大容量コンデンサの放電電流が過大にならないように電流制御を行う完全放電制御手段とを備えたものがある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
バックアップ電源用の大容量コンデンサを完全放電する際には、次の内のどちらか一方または両方同時を選択する。その一方は、一方のスイッチをONしてコンバータで電流制御し、交流電源に回生電流を流す。その他方は、他のスイッチをONし、インバータを電流制御型インバータとして電流制御し、交流電源に回生電流を流す。そして、大容量コンデンサの放電がほぼ完了した後は、他のスイッチをオフし、トランスの励磁インピーダンスを用いて完全放電させる。
In conventional uninterruptible power supplies, AC power is supplied to the load from an AC power source through a converter with a large-capacity capacitor connected between the DC output terminals and a voltage-type inverter with an antiparallel diode connected to each arm. In the uninterruptible power supply, the initial charge control means that controls the phase of the current so that the charge current of the large-capacity capacitor does not become excessive during the initial charge of the large-capacitance capacitor, and the complete discharge of the large-capacitance capacitor when the device stops Sometimes, there is provided a complete discharge control means for performing current control so that the discharge current of the large-capacity capacitor does not become excessive (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
When fully discharging the large-capacitance capacitor for the backup power supply, one or both of the following is selected. One of them turns on one of the switches, controls the current with a converter, and flows a regenerative current to the AC power supply. In the other case, the other switch is turned on, the inverter is controlled as a current control type inverter, and a regenerative current is supplied to the AC power supply. Then, after the large-capacitance capacitor is almost completely discharged, the other switches are turned off to completely discharge using the exciting impedance of the transformer.

特開平7−241084号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 7-244104

キャパシタユニットのメンテナンスなどの際に、キャパシタユニットを完全放電させる必要があり、そのために最終的にはPNを短絡することになる。キャパシタ容量C[F]と短絡する直前のキャパシタ電圧V[V]の間には、次の関係が満足されている必要がある。(UL1778 31.7)
0.5×C×V^2≦20[J] ・・・(1)
例えば、C=50[F]とすると、
V≦0.89[V] までキャパシタを放電させる必要がある。
従来の無停電電源装置では、上記の方法でキャパシタユニットを放電させていたため、キャパシタ電圧が低くなると、スイッチのオフ時間が長くなる。また、他のスイッチをオフし、トランスの励磁インピーダンスを用いて完全放電させる場合も、キャパシタ電圧が低くなると放電電流が小さくなる。したがって、上記(1)式を満足する電圧まで放電させるのに時間がかかるという問題点があった。
When the capacitor unit is maintained, it is necessary to completely discharge the capacitor unit. For this reason, the PN is eventually short-circuited. The following relationship needs to be satisfied between the capacitor capacitance C [F] and the capacitor voltage V [V] immediately before the short circuit. (UL1778 31.7)
0.5 × C × V ^ 2 ≦ 20 [J] (1)
For example, if C = 50 [F],
It is necessary to discharge the capacitor until V ≦ 0.89 [V].
In the conventional uninterruptible power supply, since the capacitor unit is discharged by the above method, when the capacitor voltage becomes low, the switch off time becomes long. In addition, when other switches are turned off and complete discharge is performed using the excitation impedance of the transformer, the discharge current decreases as the capacitor voltage decreases. Therefore, there is a problem that it takes time to discharge to a voltage satisfying the above expression (1).

この発明は上記のような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、短時間でキャパシタユニットを完全放電できる無停電電源装置を得ることを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to obtain an uninterruptible power supply capable of completely discharging a capacitor unit in a short time.

この発明に係る無停電電源装置においては、バックアップ電源用のキャパシタユニットと、一端が前記キャパシタユニットに接続され、他端が変圧器とスイッチを介して電力系統に接続された双方向変換器とを備えたものにおいて、キャパシタユニットを完全放電する際に、キャパシタユニットの電圧が設定電圧よりも低くなることをトリガとして、双方向変換器のP側素子とN側素子を同時にONさせて、キャパシタユニットのPNを短絡することにより、キャパシタユニットを完全放電するものである。   In the uninterruptible power supply according to the present invention, a capacitor unit for backup power supply and a bidirectional converter having one end connected to the capacitor unit and the other end connected to the power system via a transformer and a switch. When the capacitor unit is completely discharged, the P-side element and the N-side element of the bidirectional converter are simultaneously turned on by using the voltage of the capacitor unit to be lower than the set voltage as a trigger. By short-circuiting the PN, the capacitor unit is completely discharged.

この発明によれば、キャパシタユニット放電時に、双方向変換器をキャパシタ放電モードで動作させ、キャパシタ電圧が所定の電圧以下になると、双方向変換器をP側の素子とN側の素子を同時にONさせて、キャパシタ短絡モードで動作させるようにしたので、キャパシタユニットの完全放電時間を短縮することができる。   According to the present invention, when the capacitor unit is discharged, the bidirectional converter is operated in the capacitor discharge mode, and when the capacitor voltage becomes a predetermined voltage or less, the bidirectional converter is turned on at the same time on the P side element and the N side element. Since the capacitor is operated in the capacitor short-circuit mode, the complete discharge time of the capacitor unit can be shortened.

実施の形態1.
以下、この発明の実施の形態1を図1に基づいて説明する。常時は商用電源1が負荷2に半導体スイッチ3を介して電力を供給している。また、双方向変換器4は直流電圧制御状態にあり、キャパシタユニット5を充電している。
商用電源1に異常が発生すると、VT6で測定した入力電圧が異常であることを電圧異常検出回路7で検出する。電圧異常検出回路7で異常を検出すると双方向変換器4に直流電圧制御状態から交流電圧制御状態に切り換える信号を出す。それと同時にスイッチ3に遮断信号を出す。
キャパシタユニット5を放電する際は、双方向変換器4を電流制御状態に切り換え、商用電源1に回生電流を流す。キャパシタユニット5の電圧が、設定電圧1まで下がるとスイッチ9を開放し、変圧器8の励磁インピーダンスにより放電させる。このときも双方向変換器4は電流制御状態で動作する。キャパシタユニット5の電圧がさらに下がって、設定電圧2以下になると、双方向変換器4をP側素子とN側素子を同時にONさせる短絡制御状態に切り換え、キャパシタユニット5のPNを短絡させることにより完全放電させる。
Embodiment 1 FIG.
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. At all times, the commercial power supply 1 supplies power to the load 2 via the semiconductor switch 3. The bidirectional converter 4 is in a DC voltage control state and charges the capacitor unit 5.
When an abnormality occurs in the commercial power source 1, the voltage abnormality detection circuit 7 detects that the input voltage measured by the VT 6 is abnormal. When an abnormality is detected by the voltage abnormality detection circuit 7, a signal for switching the DC voltage control state to the AC voltage control state is output to the bidirectional converter 4. At the same time, a cutoff signal is sent to the switch 3.
When discharging the capacitor unit 5, the bidirectional converter 4 is switched to the current control state, and a regenerative current is supplied to the commercial power source 1. When the voltage of the capacitor unit 5 drops to the set voltage 1, the switch 9 is opened and discharged by the excitation impedance of the transformer 8. Also at this time, the bidirectional converter 4 operates in a current control state. When the voltage of the capacitor unit 5 further decreases and becomes equal to or lower than the set voltage 2, the bidirectional converter 4 is switched to a short-circuit control state in which the P-side element and the N-side element are simultaneously turned on, and the PN of the capacitor unit 5 is short-circuited. Discharge completely.

次に、双方向変換器4の短絡制御状態の動作を図2に基づいて説明する。キャパシタユニット5の電圧が設定電圧2以下になると、双方向変換器4の各変換器素子11、12、21、22、31、32に同時にON指令を出し、キャパシタユニット5のPNを短絡させることにより完全放電させる。
例として、キャパシタユニット5の容量を50[F]、内部抵抗を20[mΩ]、変圧器8の双方向変換器側の定格線間電圧を300[V]、双方向変換器4の各変換器素子11、12、21、22、31、32の定格電流を1000[A]の場合の動作について説明する。
設定電圧は、
設定電圧1=√2×300=424[V]
設定電圧2=1000×20/1000×3=60[V]・・・(2)
に設定される。変圧器8の双方向変換器側の電圧がキャパシタユニット5の電圧より高いと、双方向変換器4のダイオード13、14、23、24、33、34を通ってキャパシタユニット5が充電されてしまう。したがって、キャパシタユニット5の電圧が変圧器8の双方向変換器側の電圧の最大値424V以下になった時点で、スイッチ9を開放して系統からキャパシタユニット5が充電されることが無いようにし、変圧器8の励磁インピーダンスにより放電させる。
キャパシタユニット5の電圧が高い状態で、双方向変換器4のP側素子とN側素子を同時にONさせると、過電流により変換器素子が破損する。キャパシタユニット5の内部抵抗と変換器素子の定格電流から、双方向変換器4のP側素子とN側素子を同時にONさせることができるキャパシタユニット5の電圧が求められる。上記(2)式で3倍されているのは、3相分同時にONするためである。双方向変換器4の各変換器素子11、12、21、22、31、32を同時にONすることにより、60Vから瞬時にキャパシタユニット5を完全放電することができる。
Next, the operation of the bidirectional converter 4 in the short-circuit control state will be described with reference to FIG. When the voltage of the capacitor unit 5 becomes equal to or lower than the set voltage 2, an ON command is simultaneously issued to each converter element 11, 12, 21, 22, 31, 32 of the bidirectional converter 4 to short-circuit the PN of the capacitor unit 5. To completely discharge.
As an example, the capacitance of the capacitor unit 5 is 50 [F], the internal resistance is 20 [mΩ], the rated line voltage on the bidirectional converter side of the transformer 8 is 300 [V], and each conversion of the bidirectional converter 4 is performed. The operation when the rated current of the device elements 11, 12, 21, 22, 31, 32 is 1000 [A] will be described.
The set voltage is
Setting voltage 1 = √2 × 300 = 424 [V]
Setting voltage 2 = 1000 × 20/1000 × 3 = 60 [V] (2)
Set to If the voltage on the bidirectional converter side of the transformer 8 is higher than the voltage of the capacitor unit 5, the capacitor unit 5 is charged through the diodes 13, 14, 23, 24, 33, 34 of the bidirectional converter 4. . Therefore, when the voltage of the capacitor unit 5 becomes equal to or lower than the maximum voltage 424V on the bidirectional converter side of the transformer 8, the switch 9 is opened so that the capacitor unit 5 is not charged from the system. The discharge is performed by the excitation impedance of the transformer 8.
If the P-side element and the N-side element of the bidirectional converter 4 are simultaneously turned on while the voltage of the capacitor unit 5 is high, the converter element is damaged due to overcurrent. From the internal resistance of the capacitor unit 5 and the rated current of the converter element, the voltage of the capacitor unit 5 that can simultaneously turn on the P-side element and the N-side element of the bidirectional converter 4 is obtained. The reason why it is multiplied by 3 in the above equation (2) is to turn on simultaneously for three phases. By simultaneously turning on the converter elements 11, 12, 21, 22, 31, and 32 of the bidirectional converter 4, the capacitor unit 5 can be completely discharged instantaneously from 60V.
