Description

本発明は、複数台の電力変換器が三相各相にそれぞれ直列に接続された直列多重変換器を備えた直列多重型交直変換装置及び制御方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a serial multiple AC / DC converter and a control method including a serial multiple converter in which a plurality of power converters are connected in series to three phases.

例えば、直流を交流に変換する電力変換器として、三相各相に対して複数台の変換器を直列に接続して直列多重変換器を構成したものがある。通常、三相各相に直列接続される変換器は、定格容量が同一のものであり、通常運転時においては各相の変換器の出力電圧は同じである。   For example, as a power converter that converts direct current into alternating current, there is one in which a plurality of converters are connected in series for each of the three phases to form a serial multiple converter. Usually, the converters connected in series to each of the three phases have the same rated capacity, and the output voltage of the converter of each phase is the same during normal operation.

このような直列多重変換器のいずれかの変換器に故障等が発生すると、直ちに直列多重変換器を停止させ、故障した変換器を健全な変換器と交換するようにしている。この交換作業には、健全な変換器への現地取替作業や確認試験等が必要であり、通常、半日以上の時間が掛かるので、その間は電力変換器は停止となっている。   When a failure or the like occurs in any converter of such a serial multiple converter, the serial multiple converter is immediately stopped and the failed converter is replaced with a healthy converter. This replacement work requires on-site replacement work to a healthy converter, a confirmation test, and the like, and usually takes more than half a day, so the power converter is stopped during that time.

電力用途の大容量の直列多重変換器では、直列多重変換器を構成する変換器の点検を各アーム単位または各相単位で行うので数日間に亘ってシステム停止することもある。特に、故障時の復旧時間をできるだけ短縮したいという要望があるので、そのような長期間に亘って連続で直列多重変換器を停止できない場合は、各アーム単位または各相単位ごとに時間をおいて順次点検を実施しているのが現状である。   In a large-capacity serial multiple converter for power use, the converter constituting the serial multiple converter is inspected for each arm or each phase, so the system may be stopped for several days. In particular, since there is a desire to reduce the recovery time in the event of a failure as much as possible, if it is not possible to stop the serial multiple converter continuously over such a long period of time, allow time for each arm unit or each phase unit. The current situation is that inspections are carried out sequentially.

また、産業用の直列多重変換器や分散型電源用の直列多重変換器では、点検時は直列多重変換器を停止したり、あるいは直列多重変換器を停止した際にバイパス回路で給電するなどしているが、バイパス回路で給電する場合には商用電源から給電することとなり、直列多重変換器本来のメリットを維持することができない。   In addition, for industrial serial multiple converters and serial multiple converters for distributed power supplies, the serial multiple converter is stopped during inspection, or power is supplied by a bypass circuit when the serial multiple converter is stopped. However, when power is supplied by a bypass circuit, power is supplied from a commercial power source, and the original merit of the serial multiple converter cannot be maintained.

ここで、複数台の電力変換器の直流側を接続して電力の融通を行うシステムにおいて、1台の電力変換器が系統事故や変換器の故障等で停止しても、残りの健全な電力変換器で運転を継続できるようにしたものがある(特許文献1参照)。
特開平9−74769号公報
Here, in a system in which the DC side of multiple power converters is connected to provide power interchange, even if one power converter stops due to a grid fault or converter failure, the remaining healthy power There is one in which operation can be continued with a converter (see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-74769

しかし、特許文献1のものでは予備の電力変換器を設ける必要がある。複数台の変換器を直列に接続して構成された直列多重変換器の故障や点検時の対策として、予備の変換器(例えば1相分)を用意することも考えられる。例えば、直列多重変換器を構成する変換器の故障や点検時に予備の変換器に切り替え、運転を継続するようにすることも考えられるが、そうすると、1台あたりの稼働率が低下するとともに変換器1台分のシステム容量が増えることになり、設置スペース等の制約を受けることになる。   However, in the thing of patent document 1, it is necessary to provide a spare power converter. As a countermeasure at the time of failure or inspection of a serial multiple converter configured by connecting a plurality of converters in series, a spare converter (for example, one phase) may be prepared. For example, it may be possible to switch to a spare converter at the time of failure or inspection of the converter constituting the serial multiple converter and continue the operation, but this reduces the operating rate per unit and converter The system capacity for one unit will increase, and the installation space will be limited.

さらに、通常、三相各相に直列接続される変換器は定格容量が同一のものであるので、所望の容量の直列多重変換器を構成することができない場合がある。例えば、変換器の単体の定格容量が50kVAである場合、3相分の定格容量として、各相1台の変換器を用いる場合は150kVAとなり、各相2台の変換器を用いる場合は300kVAとなる。同様に、変換器の単体の定格容量が200kVAである場合、3相分の定格容量として、各相1台の変換器を用いる場合は600kVAとなり、各相2台の変換器を用いる場合は1200kVAとなる。すなわち、設計の標準化、合理化から変換器の単体の定格容量の3の倍数の定格容量の製造が望まれており、変換器の単体の定格容量の3の倍数でない出力を得るには、部分負荷運転をすることになる。   Furthermore, since the converters connected in series to each of the three-phase phases have the same rated capacity, it may not be possible to configure a serial multiple converter having a desired capacity. For example, when the rated capacity of a single converter is 50 kVA, the rated capacity for three phases is 150 kVA when using one converter for each phase, and 300 kVA when using two converters for each phase. Become. Similarly, when the rated capacity of a single converter is 200 kVA, the rated capacity for three phases is 600 kVA when using one converter for each phase, and 1200 kVA when using two converters for each phase. It becomes. That is, it is desired to produce a rated capacity that is a multiple of 3 times the rated capacity of a single converter because of standardization and rationalization of the design. To obtain an output that is not a multiple of 3 of the rated capacity of a single converter, a partial load I will drive.

図13は、直列多重変換器の三相各相の変換器の台数がそれぞれ2台であり、各々の変換器の定格容量も同一である場合において、直列多重変換器の出力電圧を下げた部分負荷運転をする場合の出力電圧ベクトル図である。   FIG. 13 shows a part in which the output voltage of the serial multiple converter is lowered when the number of three-phase converters of the serial multiple converter is two and the rated capacity of each converter is the same. It is an output voltage vector figure in the case of carrying out load operation.

図13(a)は通常運転時の出力電圧ベクトル図、図3(b)は変換器の運転台数を一定としたままで変換器の出力電圧の大きさを調整制御して三相各相の出力線間電圧を下げた場合の出力電圧ベクトル図、図13(c)は三相各相の変換器の運転台数を減らし1台とて直列多重変換器の三相各相の出力線間電圧を下げた場合の出力電圧ベクトル図である。   FIG. 13 (a) is an output voltage vector diagram during normal operation, and FIG. 3 (b) is a diagram showing the three-phase each phase by adjusting and controlling the magnitude of the output voltage of the converter while keeping the number of converters in operation constant. The output voltage vector diagram when the output line voltage is lowered, FIG. 13C shows the output line voltage of each of the three-phase converters of the three-phase converter by reducing the number of operating three-phase converters to one. It is an output voltage vector figure at the time of lowering.

図13(a)において、通常運転時においては、直列多重変換器11のU相の変換器の出力電圧U1、U2、V相の変換器の出力電圧V1、V2、W相の変換器の出力電圧W1、W2は、それぞれ大きさが同じであり、直列多重変換器11のU相、V相、W相の変換器出力電圧は、それぞれ120°の位相差を持つ三相平衡電流を維持している。図13(b)においては、直列多重変換器11のU相の変換器の出力電圧をu1、u2、V相の変換器の出力電圧をv1、v2、W相の変換器の出力電圧をw1、w2に下げて三相各相の出力線間電圧を下げた場合を示し、図13(c)においては、直列多重変換器11のU、V、W相の変換器の1台を停止して出力電圧U1、V1、W1とし、三相各相の出力線間電圧を下げた場合を示している。   In FIG. 13A, during normal operation, the output voltages U1, U2 of the U-phase converter of the serial multiple converter 11, the output voltages V1, V2, of the V-phase converter, and the outputs of the W-phase converter. The voltages W1 and W2 have the same magnitude, and the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase converter output voltages of the serial multiple converter 11 maintain a three-phase balanced current having a phase difference of 120 °. ing. In FIG. 13B, the output voltage of the U-phase converter of the serial multiple converter 11 is u1, u2, the output voltage of the V-phase converter is v1, v2, and the output voltage of the W-phase converter is w1. , W2 shows the case where the output line voltage of each phase of the three phases is lowered. In FIG. 13C, one of the U, V and W phase converters of the serial multiple converter 11 is stopped. In this case, the output voltages U1, V1, and W1 are set, and the output line voltage of each phase of the three phases is reduced.

つまり、従来においては、図3(b)に示すように、三相各相の変換器の出力電圧を下げて部分負荷運転を行ったり、三相各相の変換器の運転台数をそれぞれ減らして部分負荷運転を行っていた。   In other words, in the prior art, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the output voltage of the three-phase each phase converter is lowered to perform partial load operation, or the number of operating three-phase each phase converter is reduced. A partial load operation was performed.

三相各相の変換器の出力電圧を下げて変換器を部分負荷で運転すると、変換器の効率が低下するという課題があり、また、変換器の運転台数を減らした場合には段階的な変化の部分負荷運転しかできないという課題があった。   When the output voltage of the three-phase converter is lowered and the converter is operated at a partial load, there is a problem that the efficiency of the converter is reduced. There was a problem that only partial load operation of change was possible.

そこで、負荷変化が連続的な部分負荷でも効率が低下しない変換器が求められていた。例えば、風力発電、太陽光発電などに適用する変換器においては、連続的な部分負荷運転の頻度が高い。このため、出力が変動しても効率のよい発電が継続できれば、再生可能エネルギーを有効利用することになり、CO排出削減につながる。その結果、地球温暖化を防ぐことも期待できる。 Therefore, there has been a demand for a converter in which the efficiency does not decrease even when the load change is a continuous partial load. For example, in a converter applied to wind power generation, solar power generation, etc., the frequency of continuous partial load operation is high. For this reason, if efficient power generation can be continued even if the output fluctuates, renewable energy will be used effectively, leading to a reduction in CO 2 emissions. As a result, it can be expected to prevent global warming.

本発明の目的は、直列多重変換器のいずれかの変換器が故障停止した場合であっても運転を継続でき、出力が変動しても効率を下げることなく運転できる直列多重型交直変換装置及び制御方法を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a serial multiple AC / DC converter capable of continuing operation even when any converter of a serial multiple converter has stopped due to failure, and capable of operating without lowering efficiency even when the output fluctuates, and It is to provide a control method.

It outputs to the line 15.

そして、図1に示すように、変換器12の巻線15を変圧器16の一次巻線に磁気結合させ、三相各相に2個ずつ直列に配置する。これにより、変圧器16の各々の一次巻線からは、各相につき、直列接続された2個の変換器12の出力電圧が出力される。   Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the winding 15 of the converter 12 is magnetically coupled to the primary winding of the transformer 16, and two coils are arranged in series in each of the three phases. Thereby, the output voltage of the two converters 12 connected in series is output from each primary winding of the transformer 16 for each phase.

変換器制御装置18は、各々の変換器12U1〜12W2を制御するものであり、三相各相の変換器12U1〜12W2の運転台数を一定または変更して、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wが平衡三相線間電圧となるように、変換器12U1〜12W2の電圧指令値及び位相指令値を演算する。変換器制御装置18で演算された変換器12U1〜12W2の電圧指令値及び位相指令値はゲート制御回路23に入力され、ゲート制御回路23は、変換器制御装置18からの電圧指令値及び位相指令値を満たすように変換器12U1〜12W2にゲート信号を出力する。   The converter control device 18 controls each of the converters 12U1 to 12W2, and changes the number of operating converters 12U1 to 12W2 of each of the three phases to be constant or changed so that each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 is changed. The voltage command values and phase command values of the converters 12U1 to 12W2 are calculated so that the phase output line voltages U, V, and W become balanced three-phase line voltages. The voltage command value and phase command value of the converters 12U1 to 12W2 calculated by the converter control device 18 are input to the gate control circuit 23, and the gate control circuit 23 receives the voltage command value and phase command from the converter control device 18. A gate signal is output to the converters 12U1 to 12W2 so as to satisfy the value.

これにより、三相各相の変換器12U1〜12W2の出力電圧や位相は不平衡となるが、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wは平衡三相線間電圧となる。   As a result, the output voltages and phases of the three-phase converters 12U1 to 12W2 become unbalanced, but the three-phase output-phase voltages U, V, and W of the serial multiple converter 11 are balanced three-phase wires. Voltage.

図3は本発明の第1の実施の形態における直列多重変換器11の三相各相の変換器の台数が同一で定格容量も同一である場合の直列多重変換器11の出力電圧を下げる場合の実施例を示す出力電圧ベクトル図である。図3(a)は通常運転時の出力電圧ベクトル図、図3(b)は変換器12の運転台数を一定としたままで直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧を下げつつ平衡三相線間電圧を維持するように変換器の出力電圧の大きさを調整制御した場合の出力電圧ベクトル図、図3(c)は変換器12の運転台数を一定としたままで直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧を下げつつ平衡三相線間電圧を維持するように変換器の出力電圧及び位相を調整制御した場合の出力電圧ベクトル図である。   FIG. 3 shows a case where the output voltage of the serial multiple converter 11 is lowered when the number of converters in each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 in the first embodiment of the present invention is the same and the rated capacity is the same. It is an output voltage vector figure which shows the Example of. 3A is an output voltage vector diagram during normal operation, and FIG. 3B is a diagram showing a decrease in the output line voltage of each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 while the number of converters 12 is kept constant. FIG. 3 (c) shows the output voltage vector diagram when the magnitude of the output voltage of the converter is adjusted and controlled so as to maintain the balanced three-phase line voltage while FIG. It is an output voltage vector diagram at the time of adjusting and controlling the output voltage and phase of the converter so as to maintain the balanced three-phase line voltage while lowering the output line voltage of each of the three phases of the multiple converter 11.

図3(a)に示すように、通常運転時においては、直列多重変換器11のU相の変換器12U1、12U2の出力電圧U1、U2、V相の変換器12V1、12V2の出力電圧V1、V2、W相の変換器12W1、12W2の出力電圧W1、W2は、それぞれ大きさが同じであり、直列多重変換器11のU相、V相、W相の相電圧は、それぞれ120°の位相差を持つ三相平衡電圧を維持している。また、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧であるU−V相、V−W相、W−U相の線間電圧U、V、Wもそれぞれ120°の位相差を持つ三相平衡電圧を維持している。   As shown in FIG. 3A, during normal operation, the U-phase converters 12U1 and 12U2 of the serial multiple converter 11 output voltages U1 and U2, the V-phase converters 12V1 and 12V2, and the output voltages V1 and 12V2, respectively. The output voltages W1 and W2 of the V2 and W phase converters 12W1 and 12W2 have the same magnitude, and the phase voltages of the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase of the serial multiple converter 11 are about 120 °. A three-phase balanced voltage with phase difference is maintained. Moreover, the line voltages U, V, and W of the U-V phase, the V-W phase, and the W-U phase, which are the output line voltages of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11, each have a phase difference of 120 °. Maintains a three-phase balanced voltage.

この状態で、直列多重変換器11の変換器12U1〜W2の運転台数を一定としたままで直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを下げる場合を考える。図3(b)は、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の各々の変換器12のいずれか一つの変換器12の出力電圧の大きさを調整して、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを変更した場合を示している。すなわち、直列多重変換器11のU相については変換器12U2の出力電圧をU2からu2とし、V相については変換器12V2の出力電圧をV2からv2とし、W相については変換器12W2の出力電圧をW2からw2として、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを変更する。   In this state, when the number of converters 12U1 to W2 of the serial multiple converter 11 is kept constant, the magnitudes of the output line voltages U, V, and W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 are reduced. think of. FIG. 3B shows the three-phase of the serial multiple converter 11 by adjusting the magnitude of the output voltage of any one of the converters 12 in each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11. The case where the magnitude | size of the output line voltage U, V, and W of each phase is shown is shown. That is, the output voltage of the converter 12U2 is changed from U2 to u2 for the U phase of the serial multiple converter 11, the output voltage of the converter 12V2 is changed from V2 to v2 for the V phase, and the output voltage of the converter 12W2 is set for the W phase. Is changed from W2 to w2, the magnitudes of the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 are changed.

一方、図3(c)は、直列多重変換器11の三相各相のいずれか一相の変換器12の出力電圧の大きさを調整するとともに、二相の変換器12の出力電圧の大きさは一定のままで位相を調整して、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを変更した場合を示している。すなわち、直列多重変換器11のW相については変換器12W1、12W2の出力電圧を下げ、U相及びV相については変換器12U1(12V1)、12U2(12V2)の出力電圧は一定とし、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wが三相平衡電圧を維持するように、U相及びV相の位相を変更する。   On the other hand, FIG. 3C adjusts the magnitude of the output voltage of the converter 12 of any one of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 and the magnitude of the output voltage of the converter 12 of the two phases. The figure shows the case where the magnitude of the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 is changed by adjusting the phase while keeping the constant. That is, the output voltage of the converters 12W1 and 12W2 is lowered for the W phase of the serial multiple converter 11, and the output voltages of the converters 12U1 (12V1) and 12U2 (12V2) are constant for the U phase and the V phase. The phases of the U phase and the V phase are changed so that the output line voltages U, V, and W of the three phases of the converter 11 maintain the three-phase balanced voltage.

この場合、図3(c)に示すように、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力電圧や位相は不平衡となっているが、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wは平衡三相線間電圧となる。このように、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wが平衡三相線間電圧となる限りは、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力電圧や位相が不平衡となる運転を許容し、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの変更を可能としている。これにより、所望の容量の直列多重変換器を構成することができる。   In this case, as shown in FIG. 3C, the output voltage and phase of each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 are unbalanced, but the output lines of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 are not balanced. The inter-voltages U, V, and W are balanced three-phase line voltages. Thus, as long as the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 become balanced three-phase line voltages, the output voltage of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 The operation in which the phases are unbalanced is allowed, and the output line voltages U, V, and W of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 can be changed. Thus, a serial multiple converter having a desired capacity can be configured.

図4は本発明の第1の実施の形態における直列多重変換器11の三相各相の変換器の台数が同じで定格容量が異なる場合の直列多重変換器11の出力電圧の実施例を示す出力電圧ベクトル図である。図4(a)は通常運転時の出力電圧ベクトル図、図4(b)、図4(c)は変換器12の運転台数を変更して直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧を下げつつ平衡三相線間電圧を維持するように変換器の出力電圧の大きさを調整制御した場合の出力電圧ベクトル図である。   FIG. 4 shows an example of the output voltage of the serial multiple converter 11 when the number of three-phase converters of the serial multiple converter 11 in the first embodiment of the present invention is the same and the rated capacity is different. It is an output voltage vector diagram. 4 (a) is an output voltage vector diagram during normal operation, and FIGS. 4 (b) and 4 (c) are three-phase output lines of the serial multiple converter 11 by changing the number of converters 12 operated. It is an output voltage vector figure at the time of carrying out adjustment control of the magnitude | size of the output voltage of a converter so that a balanced three-phase line voltage may be maintained, reducing an inter-voltage.

図4(a)に示すように、三相各相の変換器12の台数はそれぞれ2台で同じであるが、W相の2台の変換器の定格容量は、U相及びV相の変換器の定格容量の1/2であるものを用いている。従って、通常運転時においては、直列多重変換器11のU相の変換器12U1、12U2の出力電圧U1、U2、V相の変換器12V1、12V2の出力電圧V1、V2はそれぞれ同じであるが、W相の変換器12W1、12W2の出力電圧W1、W2は、U相及びV相の変換器の出力電圧の1/2となっている。このため、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力電圧や位相は不平衡となっている。   As shown in FIG. 4A, the number of converters 12 for each of the three phases is the same for each two, but the rated capacity of the two converters for the W phase is the conversion between the U phase and the V phase. What is half the rated capacity of the vessel is used. Therefore, during normal operation, the output voltages U1 and U2 of the U-phase converters 12U1 and 12U2 of the serial multiple converter 11 and the output voltages V1 and V2 of the V-phase converters 12V1 and 12V2 are the same. The output voltages W1, W2 of the W-phase converters 12W1, 12W2 are ½ of the output voltages of the U-phase and V-phase converters. For this reason, the output voltage and phase of each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 are unbalanced.

なお、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力電圧や位相は不平衡であるが、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wは平衡三相線間電圧となるように調整されている。従って、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧であるU−V相、V−W相、W−U相の線間電圧U、V、Wはそれぞれ120°の位相差を持つ三相平衡電圧を維持している。このように、通常運転時においても、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wが平衡三相線間電圧となる限りは、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力電圧や位相が不平衡となる運転を許容している。   In addition, although the output voltage and phase of each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 are unbalanced, the output line voltages U, V, and W of each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 are between the balanced three phase lines. It is adjusted to be a voltage. Therefore, the line voltages U, V, and W of the U-V phase, the V-W phase, and the W-U phase, which are the output line voltages of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11, each have a phase difference of 120 °. Maintains a three-phase balanced voltage. Thus, even during normal operation, as long as the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 become balanced three-phase line voltages, the three-phase of the serial multiple converter 11 Operation in which the output voltage and phase of each phase are unbalanced is allowed.

この状態で、直列多重変換器11の変換器12U1〜W2の運転台数を変更して、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを下げる場合を考える。図4(b)は、直列多重変換器11のU相及びV相の変換器U2、V2を停止または出力電圧を0として、直列多重変換器11のU相及びV相出力電圧の大きさを調整し、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを変更した場合を示している。すなわち、直列多重変換器11のW相については変換器12W1、12W2の出力電圧をそのままとし、U相及びV相については変換器12U2(12V2)の出力電圧が0となるようにし、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wが三相平衡電圧を維持するように、U相及びV相の位相を変更する。これにより、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを下げることができる。   In this state, the operation number of converters 12U1 to W2 of the serial multiple converter 11 is changed to reduce the magnitudes of the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11. Think. FIG. 4B shows the magnitudes of the U-phase and V-phase output voltages of the serial multiple converter 11 when the U-phase and V-phase converters U2 and V2 of the serial multiple converter 11 are stopped or the output voltage is set to zero. The case where the magnitudes of the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 are changed after adjustment is shown. That is, the output voltage of the converters 12W1 and 12W2 is left as it is for the W phase of the serial multiple converter 11, and the output voltage of the converter 12U2 (12V2) is 0 for the U phase and the V phase. The phases of the U phase and the V phase are changed so that the output line voltages U, V, and W of the three phases of the device 11 maintain the three-phase balanced voltage. Thereby, the magnitude | size of the output line voltage U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 can be lowered | hung.

図4(c)は、直列多重変換器11のW相の変換器W2を停止または出力電圧を0として、直列多重変換器11のW相の出力電圧の大きさを調整し、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを変更した場合を示している。すなわち、直列多重変換器11のU相及びV相については変換器12U1、12U2、変換器12V1、12V2の出力電圧をそのままとし、直列多重変換器11のW相については変換器12W2の出力電圧が0となるようにし、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wが三相平衡電圧を維持するように、U相及びV相の位相を変更する。これにより、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを下げることができる。 以上の説明では、三相各相に対して同じ台数の変換器12が直列接続された場合について説明したが、三相各相の少なくともいずれか1相は異なる台数の変換器12が直列接続された場合に同様である。   FIG. 4 (c) shows that the W-phase converter W2 of the serial multiple converter 11 is stopped or the output voltage is set to 0, and the magnitude of the W-phase output voltage of the serial multiple converter 11 is adjusted. 11 shows a case where the magnitudes of the output line voltages U, V, and W of the three three-phase phases are changed. That is, for the U phase and V phase of the serial multiple converter 11, the output voltages of the converters 12U1, 12U2, and converters 12V1, 12V2 are left as they are, and for the W phase of the serial multiple converter 11, the output voltage of the converter 12W2 is The phase of the U phase and the V phase is changed so that the output line voltages U, V, and W of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 maintain a three-phase balanced voltage. Thereby, the magnitude | size of the output line voltage U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 can be lowered | hung. In the above description, the case where the same number of converters 12 are connected in series to each of the three-phase phases has been described, but at least one of the three-phase phases is connected in series with a different number of converters 12. The same applies to the case.

図5は本発明の第1の実施の形態における直列多重変換器11の三相各相の変換器の台数が異なり各変換器の定格容量も異なる場合の直列多重変換器11の出力電圧の実施例を示す出力電圧ベクトル図である。図5(a)は通常運転時の出力電圧ベクトル図、図5(b)は変換器12の運転台数を一定としたままで直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧を下げつつ平衡三相線間電圧を維持するように変換器の出力電圧の大きさを調整制御した場合の出力電圧ベクトル図、図5(c)は変換器12の運転台数を一定としたままで直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧を下げつつ平衡三相線間電圧を維持するように変換器の出力電圧及び位相を調整制御した場合の出力電圧ベクトル図である。   FIG. 5 shows the implementation of the output voltage of the serial multiple converter 11 when the number of three-phase converters of the serial multiple converter 11 in the first embodiment of the present invention is different and the rated capacity of each converter is also different. It is an output voltage vector diagram which shows an example. FIG. 5 (a) shows the output voltage vector diagram during normal operation, and FIG. 5 (b) shows the output line voltage of each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 being lowered while the number of converters 12 operated is kept constant. FIG. 5 (c) shows the output voltage vector diagram when the magnitude of the output voltage of the converter is adjusted and controlled so as to maintain the balanced three-phase line voltage while FIG. It is an output voltage vector diagram at the time of adjusting and controlling the output voltage and phase of the converter so as to maintain the balanced three-phase line voltage while lowering the output line voltage of each of the three phases of the multiple converter 11.

図5(a)に示すように、三相各相の変換器12の台数が異なり、U相及びV相には3台の変換器12U1、U2、U3(12V1、V2、V3)が接続され、W相には2台の変換器12W1、12W2が接続されている。また、W相の2台の変換器12W1、12W2の定格容量は、U相の変換器12U3及びV相の変換器12V3の定格容量と同じであり、U相の変換器12U1、12U2及びV相の変換器12V1、12V2の定格容量は、W相の変換器12W1、12W2の定格容量の1/2であるものを用いている。通常運転時においては、直列多重変換器11のU相、V相、W相の相電圧は、それぞれ120°の位相差を持つ三相平衡電圧を維持している。また、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧であるU−V相、V−W相、W−U相の線間電圧U、V、Wもそれぞれ120°の位相差を持つ三相平衡電圧を維持している。   As shown in FIG. 5A, the number of converters 12 for each of the three phases is different, and three converters 12U1, U2, U3 (12V1, V2, V3) are connected to the U phase and the V phase. In the W phase, two converters 12W1 and 12W2 are connected. The rated capacities of the two W-phase converters 12W1 and 12W2 are the same as the rated capacities of the U-phase converter 12U3 and the V-phase converter 12V3, and the U-phase converters 12U1, 12U2 and the V-phase The rated capacities of the converters 12V1 and 12V2 are ½ of the rated capacities of the W-phase converters 12W1 and 12W2. During normal operation, the phase voltage of the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase of the serial multiple converter 11 maintains a three-phase balanced voltage having a phase difference of 120 °. Moreover, the line voltages U, V, and W of the U-V phase, the V-W phase, and the W-U phase, which are the output line voltages of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11, each have a phase difference of 120 °. Maintains a three-phase balanced voltage.

この状態で、直列多重変換器11の変換器12の運転台数を一定としたままで直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを下げる場合を考える。図5(b)は、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の各々の変換器12のいずれか一つの変換器12の出力電圧の大きさを調整して、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを変更した場合を示している。すなわち、直列多重変換器11のU相については変換器12U3の出力電圧をU3からu3とし、V相については変換器12V3の出力電圧をV3からv3とし、W相については変換器12W2の出力電圧をW2からw2として、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを変更する。   In this state, the case where the magnitudes of the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 are lowered while the number of the converters 12 of the serial multiple converter 11 is kept constant is considered. . FIG. 5B shows the three-phase of the serial multiple converter 11 by adjusting the magnitude of the output voltage of any one of the converters 12 of the three-phase converters 11 of the serial multiple converter 11. The case where the magnitude | size of the output line voltage U, V, and W of each phase is shown is shown. That is, for the U phase of the serial multiple converter 11, the output voltage of the converter 12U3 is changed from U3 to u3, for the V phase, the output voltage of the converter 12V3 is changed from V3 to v3, and for the W phase, the output voltage of the converter 12W2 Is changed from W2 to w2, the magnitudes of the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 are changed.

一方、図5(c)は、直列多重変換器11の三相各相のいずれか一相の変換器12の出力電圧の大きさを調整するとともに、二相の変換器12の出力電圧の大きさは一定のままで位相を調整して、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを変更した場合を示している。すなわち、直列多重変換器11のW相については変換器12W1、12W2の出力電圧を下げ、U相及びV相については変換器12U1(12V1)、12U2(12V2)、12U3(12V3)の出力電圧は一定とし、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wが三相平衡電圧を維持するように、U相及びV相の位相を変更する。   On the other hand, FIG. 5C shows the magnitude of the output voltage of the converter 12 of any one of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 and the magnitude of the output voltage of the converter 12 of the two phases. The figure shows the case where the magnitude of the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 is changed by adjusting the phase while keeping the constant. That is, for the W phase of the serial multiple converter 11, the output voltages of the converters 12W1 and 12W2 are lowered, and for the U phase and the V phase, the output voltages of the converters 12U1 (12V1), 12U2 (12V2), and 12U3 (12V3) are The phase of the U phase and the V phase is changed so that the output line voltages U, V, and W of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 maintain a three-phase balanced voltage.

It is an output voltage vector figure which shows the Example of. 6 (a) is an output voltage vector diagram during normal operation, and FIGS. 6 (b) and 6 (c) are three-phase output lines of the serial multiple converter 11 by changing the number of converters 12 operated. It is an output voltage vector figure at the time of carrying out adjustment control of the magnitude | size of the output voltage of a converter so that a balanced three-phase line voltage may be maintained, reducing an inter-voltage.

図6(a)に示すように、三相各相の変換器12の台数が異なり、U相及びV相には3台の変換器12U1、U2、U3(12V1、V2、V3)が接続され、W相には2台の変換器12W1、12W2が接続されている。また、W相の2台の変換器12W1、12W2の定格容量は、U相の変換器12U1、12U2及びV相の変換器12V1、12V2の定格容量と同じであり、U相の変換器12U3及びV相の変換器12V3の定格容量の1/2であるものを用いている。   As shown in FIG. 6A, the number of converters 12 for each of the three phases is different, and three converters 12U1, U2, U3 (12V1, V2, V3) are connected to the U phase and the V phase. In the W phase, two converters 12W1 and 12W2 are connected. The rated capacities of the two W-phase converters 12W1 and 12W2 are the same as the rated capacities of the U-phase converters 12U1 and 12U2 and the V-phase converters 12V1 and 12V2, and the U-phase converter 12U3 and What is 1/2 of the rated capacity of the V-phase converter 12V3 is used.

通常運転時においては、直列多重変換器11のU相、V相、W相の相電圧は、不平衡三相電圧であるが、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧であるU−V相、V−W相、W−U相の線間電圧U、V、Wはそれぞれ120°の位相差を持つ三相平衡電圧を維持している。このように、通常運転時においても、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wが平衡三相線間電圧となる限りは、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力電圧や位相が不平衡となる運転を許容している。   During normal operation, the phase voltage of the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase of the serial multiple converter 11 is an unbalanced three-phase voltage, but is the output line voltage of each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11. Line voltages U, V, and W of a certain U-V phase, V-W phase, and W-U phase maintain a three-phase balanced voltage having a phase difference of 120 °. Thus, even during normal operation, as long as the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 become balanced three-phase line voltages, the three-phase of the serial multiple converter 11 Operation in which the output voltage and phase of each phase are unbalanced is allowed.

この状態で、直列多重変換器11の変換器12の運転台数を変更して、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを下げる場合を考える。図6(b)は、直列多重変換器11のU相及びV相の変換器12U3、12V3を停止または出力電圧を0として、直列多重変換器11のU相及びV相出力電圧の大きさを調整し、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを変更した場合を示している。すなわち、直列多重変換器11のW相については変換器12W1、12W2の出力電圧をそのままとし、U相及びV相については変換器12U3(12V3)の出力電圧が0となるようにし、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wが三相平衡電圧を維持するように、U相及びV相の位相を変更する。これにより、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを下げることができる。   In this state, consider the case where the number of converters 12 in the serial multiple converter 11 is changed to reduce the magnitudes of the output line voltages U, V, and W of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11. FIG. 6B shows the magnitudes of the U-phase and V-phase output voltages of the serial multiple converter 11 by stopping the U-phase and V-phase converters 12U3 and 12V3 of the serial multiple converter 11 or setting the output voltage to 0. The case where the magnitudes of the output line voltages U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 are changed after adjustment is shown. That is, the output voltage of the converters 12W1 and 12W2 is left as it is for the W phase of the serial multiple converter 11, and the output voltage of the converter 12U3 (12V3) is 0 for the U phase and the V phase. The phases of the U phase and the V phase are changed so that the output line voltages U, V, and W of the three phases of the device 11 maintain the three-phase balanced voltage. Thereby, the magnitude | size of the output line voltage U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 can be lowered | hung.

図6(c)は、直列多重変換器11のV相の変換器12V3を停止または出力電圧を0として、直列多重変換器11のV相出力電圧の大きさを調整し、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを変更した場合を示している。すなわち、直列多重変換器11のU相及びW相については変換器121、12U2、12W1、12W2の出力電圧をそのままとし、V相については変換器12V3の出力電圧が0となるようにし、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wが三相平衡電圧を維持するように、V及びW相の位相を変更する。これにより、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧U、V、Wの大きさを下げることができる。 In FIG. 6C, the V-phase converter 12V3 of the serial multiple converter 11 is stopped or the output voltage is set to 0, and the magnitude of the V-phase output voltage of the serial multiple converter 11 is adjusted. The case where the magnitude | size of the output line voltage U, V, and W of each phase of three phases is changed is shown. That is, the output voltage of the converters 12 U 1, 12 U 2, 12 W 1, 12 W 2 is kept as it is for the U phase and the W phase of the serial multiple converter 11, and the output voltage of the converter 12 V 3 is 0 for the V phase, The phases of the V and W phases are changed so that the output line voltages U, V, and W of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 maintain the three-phase balanced voltage. Thereby, the magnitude | size of the output line voltage U, V, W of the three-phase each phase of the serial multiple converter 11 can be lowered | hung.

以上の実施例では、各相の線間電圧の大きさを下げた場合について説明したが、各相の出力線間電圧を変えずに各変換器の台数や位相などを変更することにより、定格出力を維持することもできる。   In the above embodiments, the case where the magnitude of the line voltage of each phase is reduced has been described, but the rating and the number of phases can be changed without changing the output line voltage of each phase. The output can also be maintained.

また、出力線間電圧を平衡三相状態に維持する条件の中で、三相各相の変換器の出力電圧ベクトルの位相と大きさを自由自在に変えることもできる。さらに、三相各相の変換器の出力電圧ベクトルの位相と大きさを自由自在に変えることで三相各相の出力線間電圧の電圧・電流ベクトルの位相と大きさを自由自在に変えることもできる。これにより、高効率運転を維持しながら所望の三相平衡あるいは三相不平衡の出力線間電圧を得ることができる。   In addition, the phase and magnitude of the output voltage vector of the three-phase converter can be freely changed under the condition of maintaining the output line voltage in a balanced three-phase state. Furthermore, by freely changing the phase and magnitude of the output voltage vector of the three-phase phase converter, the phase and magnitude of the voltage / current vector of the output line voltage of the three-phase phase can be freely changed. You can also. As a result, a desired three-phase balanced or three-phase unbalanced output line voltage can be obtained while maintaining high efficiency operation.

次に、各相の変換器12の運転台数を変更した場合の損失について説明する。図7は、各相の各々の変換器12が4台ずつ設けられ、合計12台の変換器12を有した直列多重型交直変換装置11の出力線間電圧(p.u.)と損失(%)との関係を示すグラフである。折れ線L1は従来方式(運転台数を3の倍数のみ選んで変調率を変化させて出力電圧を調整する方式)の場合の特性、折れ線L2は本発明の場合の特性を表している。図7中の折れ点での数値は、変換器の運転台数を示している。   Next, the loss when the number of operating converters 12 of each phase is changed will be described. FIG. 7 shows the output line voltage (pu) and loss (%) of the serial multiple AC / DC converter 11 having four converters 12 for each phase and having a total of 12 converters 12. It is a graph which shows the relationship. The broken line L1 represents the characteristic in the case of the conventional method (the method of adjusting the output voltage by changing the modulation rate by selecting only a multiple of 3), and the broken line L2 represents the characteristic in the present invention. The numerical values at the break points in FIG. 7 indicate the number of operating converters.

表1は従来方式での折れ線L1の各折れ点における変換器の運転台数、出力線間電圧(p.u.)及び損失(%)を示す表である。

Figure 2008141804
Table 1 is a table showing the number of operating converters, output line voltage (pu), and loss (%) at each break point of the broken line L1 in the conventional method.
Figure 2008141804

また、表2は本発明の方式での折れ線L2の各折れ点における変換器の運転台数、出力線間電圧(p.u.)及び損失(%)を示す表である。

Figure 2008141804
Table 2 is a table showing the number of operating converters, output line voltage (pu), and loss (%) at each break point of the broken line L2 in the method of the present invention.
Figure 2008141804

いま、各相の4台の変換器12が4台ともに変調率(m=1)で運転されている場合(12台運転の場合)が最高電圧(出力線間電圧が1.00p.u.)であるとし、変換器12を変調率(m=1)で運転した場合の直列多重型交直変換装置11の変換器12の損失は約1.03%であるとする。   Now, when all four converters 12 of each phase are operated at a modulation rate (m = 1) (when 12 units are operated), the maximum voltage (output line voltage is 1.00 p.u.). It is assumed that the loss of the converter 12 of the serial multiple AC / DC converter 11 when the converter 12 is operated at a modulation rate (m = 1) is about 1.03%.

そうすると、各相の変換器12が同じ台数でしかも変調率(m=1)で運転されている場合は、直列多重型交直変換装置11の変換器12の損失は、従来方式のときも本発明のときもいずれの場合も約1.03%で同じある。すなわち、各相の1台の変換器12(3台運転の場合)が変調率(m=1)で運転されている場合、各相の2台の変換器12(6台運転の場合)が変調率(m=1)で運転されている場合、各相の3台の変換器12(9台運転の場合)が変調率(m=1)で運転されている場合は、直列多重型交直変換装置11の変換器12の損失はいずれの場合も約1.03%で同じある。   Then, when the converters 12 of each phase are operated with the same number and the modulation rate (m = 1), the loss of the converter 12 of the serial multiplex AC / DC converter 11 is the present invention even in the conventional method. In both cases, it is the same at about 1.03%. That is, when one converter 12 for each phase (when three units are operated) is operated at a modulation rate (m = 1), two converters 12 for each phase (when six units are operated) When operating at a modulation rate (m = 1), when three converters 12 for each phase (when 9 units are operating) are operated at a modulation rate (m = 1), The loss of the converter 12 of the converter 11 is the same at about 1.03% in any case.

次に、例えば、出力線間電圧を0.82 p.u.としたい場合、従来方式では各相の4台(12台運転)が変調率を1から0.82に下げて運転することになり、損失は約1.25%に増加する。一方、本発明方式では合計が3の倍数以外の台数でも運転できるので、U相の4台、V相の3台、W相の3台(10台運転)を変調率を1に保ちながら運転すれば、損失は約1.03%からほとんど変動しない1.04%となる。このように、三相各相の運転台数または変換器の出力電圧の位相もしくは大きさを変更しても変換器の効率変動を極力抑制することができる。   Next, for example, when the output line voltage is set to 0.82 pu, in the conventional method, 4 units (12 units operation) of each phase are operated with the modulation rate reduced from 1 to 0.82, and the loss occurs. Increases to about 1.25%. On the other hand, the system of the present invention can be operated with a total number other than a multiple of 3, so that 4 units of U phase, 3 units of V phase and 3 units of W phase (10 units operation) are operated while keeping the modulation rate at 1. In this case, the loss is about 1.03% to 1.04% which hardly fluctuates. Thus, even if the number of operating three-phase phases or the phase or magnitude of the output voltage of the converter is changed, fluctuations in the efficiency of the converter can be suppressed as much as possible.

本発明の第1の実施の形態によれば、定格容量が同一または異なる変換器12を三相各相に接続して直列多重変換器11を形成し、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧が平衡三相線間電圧を保持するように、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力電圧や位相が不平衡となる運転を許容して、三相各相に接続された変換器12の出力電圧の位相または大きさを調整制御するので、直列多重変換器11は、変換器12の定格容量の制約を受けることなく所望の容量とすることができる。また、経年変化等により定格容量が低下した変換器12に対して、他の健全な変換器12により出力電圧の一部を肩代わりすることも可能である。   According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the converter 12 having the same or different rated capacity is connected to each of the three-phase phases to form the serial multiple converter 11. The output voltage and phase of each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 are allowed to be unbalanced and connected to each of the three phases so that the output line voltage maintains the balanced three-phase line voltage. Since the phase or magnitude of the output voltage of the converter 12 is adjusted and controlled, the serial multiple converter 11 can have a desired capacity without being restricted by the rated capacity of the converter 12. Moreover, it is also possible to replace a part of the output voltage with another healthy converter 12 with respect to the converter 12 whose rated capacity has decreased due to secular change or the like.

次に、本発明の第2の実施の形態を説明する。図8は本発明の第2の実施の形態に係わる直列多重型交直変換装置の構成図である。この第2の実施の形態は、図1に示した第1の実施の形態に対し、故障検出器17を設け、変換器制御装置12は、故障検出器17が故障停止した変換器12を検出したときは、直列多重変換器の三相各相の出力線間電圧が健全時の電圧を保持するように、故障停止した変換器12を除いた健全な変換器12の出力電圧の位相または大きさを調整制御するようにしたものである。   Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a serial multiplex AC / DC converter according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, a failure detector 17 is provided with respect to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and the converter controller 12 detects the converter 12 in which the failure detector 17 has stopped. In this case, the phase or magnitude of the output voltage of the sound converter 12 except for the converter 12 that has failed is stopped so that the output line voltage of each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter maintains the sound voltage. The height is adjusted and controlled.

図8において、直列多重変換器11は、三相各相に対してそれぞれ複数台の変換器12が設けられる。図8では三相各相のU相、V相、W相に対して、それぞれ2台の変換器12が設けられた場合を示している。すなわち、U相には変換器12U1、12U2が設けられ、V相には変換器12V1、12V2が設けられ、W相には変換器12W1、12W2が設けられている。   In FIG. 8, the serial multiple converter 11 is provided with a plurality of converters 12 for each of the three phases. FIG. 8 shows a case where two converters 12 are provided for the U phase, V phase, and W phase of each of the three phases. That is, converters 12U1 and 12U2 are provided in the U phase, converters 12V1 and 12V2 are provided in the V phase, and converters 12W1 and 12W2 are provided in the W phase.

そして、図8に示すように、変換器12の巻線15を変圧器16の一次巻線に磁気結合させ、三相各相に2個ずつ直列に配置する。これにより、変圧器16の各々の一次巻線からは、各相につき、直列接続された2個の変換器12の出力電圧が出力される。   Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the winding 15 of the converter 12 is magnetically coupled to the primary winding of the transformer 16, and two coils are arranged in series in each of the three phases. Thereby, the output voltage of the two converters 12 connected in series is output from each primary winding of the transformer 16 for each phase.

また、直列多重変換器11の各々の変換器12U1〜12W2のいずれかが故障停止したことを検出する故障検出器17が設けられており、この故障検出器17で検出された変換器12U1〜12W2の故障停止信号は変換器制御装置18に入力される。   Further, a failure detector 17 for detecting that any of the converters 12U1 to 12W2 of the serial multiple converter 11 has stopped is provided, and the converters 12U1 to 12W2 detected by the failure detector 17 are provided. The failure stop signal is input to the converter controller 18.

変換器制御装置18は、各々の変換器12U1〜12W2を制御するものであり、正常時指令値演算手段19及び故障停止時指令値演算手段20を有する。正常時指令値演算手段19は、各々の変換器12U1〜12W2が三相交流の所定電圧を出力するように電圧指令値及び位相指令値を演算する。一方、故障停止時指令値演算手段20は故障停止判定手段21により起動され、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧が健全時の電圧を保持するように、故障停止した変換器12を除いた健全な変換器12の電圧指令値及び位相指令値を演算する。   The converter control device 18 controls each of the converters 12U1 to 12W2, and includes a normal time command value calculation means 19 and a failure stop time command value calculation means 20. The normal command value calculation means 19 calculates the voltage command value and the phase command value so that each of the converters 12U1 to 12W2 outputs a predetermined three-phase AC voltage. On the other hand, the failure stop command value calculation means 20 is started by the failure stop determination means 21, and the conversion that has failed and stopped so that the output line voltage of each of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 maintains the healthy voltage. The voltage command value and the phase command value of the healthy converter 12 excluding the converter 12 are calculated.

次に、故障停止判定手段21は、故障検出器17により故障停止した変換器12が検出されたときは、故障停止した変換器12を識別し、故障停止時指令値演算手段20を起動するとともに切換手段22を起動する。切換手段22は、正常時においては、正常時指令値演算手段19の出力を選択してゲート制御回路23に出力し、故障検出器17により故障停止した変換器12が検出されたときは、故障停止時指令値演算手段20の出力を選択する。ゲート制御回路23は、切換手段22からの電圧指令値及び位相指令値を満たすように変換器12U1〜12W2にゲート信号を出力する。   Next, when the fault detector 17 detects the faulty converter 12, the fault stop judging means 21 identifies the faulty converter 12 and activates the fault stop command value calculating means 20. The switching means 22 is activated. The switching means 22 selects the output of the normal-time command value calculation means 19 and outputs it to the gate control circuit 23 under normal conditions. When the fault detector 17 detects the converter 12 that has failed and stopped, The output of the command value calculation means 20 at the time of stop is selected. The gate control circuit 23 outputs a gate signal to the converters 12U1 to 12W2 so that the voltage command value and the phase command value from the switching unit 22 are satisfied.

これにより、直列多重変換器11の各々の変換器12U1〜12W2が正常であるときは、正常時指令値演算手段19からの電圧指令値及び位相指令値により各々の変換器12U1〜12W2は制御され、一方、直列多重変換器11の各々の変換器12U1〜12W2のいずれかが故障停止したときは、故障停止時指令値演算手段20からの電圧指令値及び位相指令値により各々の変換器12U1〜12W2は制御される。   Thereby, when each converter 12U1 to 12W2 of the serial multiple converter 11 is normal, each converter 12U1 to 12W2 is controlled by the voltage command value and the phase command value from the normal command value calculation means 19. On the other hand, when any one of the converters 12U1 to 12W2 of the serial multiple converter 11 is stopped due to a failure, the converters 12U1 to 12U1 are converted according to the voltage command value and the phase command value from the command value calculation means 20 at the time of failure stop. 12W2 is controlled.

図9は、直列多重変換器11のいずれか1台の変換器12が故障停止したときの直列多重変換器11の出力電圧ベクトル図である。図9(a)は直列多重変換器11の各々の変換器12U1〜12W2が正常である場合の出力電圧ベクトル図、図9(b)は直列多重変換器11の変換器12W2が故障停止し、残りの健全な変換器12U1〜12W1で出力を分担した場合の出力電圧ベクトル図である。   FIG. 9 is an output voltage vector diagram of the serial multiple converter 11 when any one converter 12 of the serial multiple converter 11 is out of order. FIG. 9A is an output voltage vector diagram when each of the converters 12U1 to 12W2 of the serial multiple converter 11 is normal, and FIG. 9B is a diagram showing that the converter 12W2 of the serial multiple converter 11 is stopped due to a failure. It is an output voltage vector figure at the time of sharing an output with the remaining healthy converters 12U1-12W1.

図9(a)に示すように、直列多重変換器11の各々の変換器12U1〜12W2が正常である場合には、U相の変換器12U1、12U2の出力電圧U1、U2、V相の変換器12V1、12V2の出力電圧V1、V2、W相の変換器12W1、12W2の出力電圧W1、W2は、それぞれ大きさが同じであり、U相、V相、W相の相電圧は、それぞれ120°の位相差を持つ三相平衡電圧を維持している。また、U−V相、V−W相、W−U相の線間電圧もそれぞれ120°の位相差を持つ三相平衡電圧を維持している。   As shown in FIG. 9A, when each of the converters 12U1 to 12W2 of the serial multiple converter 11 is normal, the output voltages U1, U2, and V phase of the U phase converters 12U1 and 12U2 are converted. The output voltages V1 and V2 of the converters 12V1 and 12V2 and the output voltages W1 and W2 of the W-phase converters 12W1 and 12W2 have the same magnitude, and the phase voltages of the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase are 120 respectively. Maintains a three-phase balanced voltage with a phase difference of °. Further, the line voltages of the U-V phase, the V-W phase, and the W-U phase also maintain a three-phase balanced voltage having a phase difference of 120 °.

この状態で、直列多重変換器11の変換器12W2が故障停止したとすると、W相の変換器12W2の出力電圧が零となる。そこで、故障停止したW相の変換器12W2を除いた健全な変換器12U1〜12W1の出力電圧U1〜W1の位相または大きさを調整制御して、三相各相の出力線間電圧(U−V相、V−W相、W−U相の線間電圧)が健全時の電圧を保持するように制御する。   In this state, assuming that the converter 12W2 of the serial multiple converter 11 is out of order, the output voltage of the W-phase converter 12W2 becomes zero. Therefore, the phase or magnitude of the output voltages U1 to W1 of the healthy converters 12U1 to 12W1 excluding the W-phase converter 12W2 that has failed is adjusted and controlled, and the output line voltage (U− The line voltage of the V phase, the V-W phase, and the W-U phase) is controlled so as to maintain the voltage when healthy.

図9(b)に示すように、残りの健全な変換器12U1〜12W1で出力を分担した場合、U相(u1+u2)、V相(v1+v2)、W相(w1)の相電圧は不平衡状態であるが、U−V相、V−W相、W−U相の線間電圧は三相平衡電圧となる。図9(b)では、健全な変換器12U1〜12W1の各々の出力電圧u1〜w1の大きさを同一とし、故障停止した変換器12W2が接続されたW相の位相を健全時と同一位相とした場合を示している。   As shown in FIG. 9B, when the outputs are shared by the remaining healthy converters 12U1 to 12W1, the phase voltages of the U phase (u1 + u2), the V phase (v1 + v2), and the W phase (w1) are in an unbalanced state. However, the line voltages of the U-V phase, the V-W phase, and the W-U phase are three-phase balanced voltages. In FIG. 9B, the magnitudes of the output voltages u1 to w1 of the sound converters 12U1 to 12W1 are the same, and the phase of the W phase to which the converter 12W2 that has failed is connected is the same as that at the time of sound. Shows the case.

図10は、健全な変換器12U1〜12W1の出力電圧U1〜W1の位相または大きさの調整制御についての説明図である。いま、図10に示すように、健全な変換器12U1〜12W2の分担前の各々の出力電圧をU1〜W2、分担後の相電圧の中性点をO、健全な変換器12U1〜12W1の分担後の各々の出力電圧をu1〜w1、三相各相の出力線間電圧(U−V相、V−W相、W−U相の線間電圧)の出力端をA、B、Cとする。そして、U1=U2=V1=V2=W1=1、∠AOB=2θ、AB=BC=CA=a、u1=u2=v1=v2=w1=bとする。そうすると、下記の(1)式が成立する。   FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram regarding the adjustment control of the phase or size of the output voltages U1 to W1 of the healthy converters 12U1 to 12W1. Now, as shown in FIG. 10, each output voltage before sharing of the healthy converters 12U1 to 12W2 is U1 to W2, the neutral point of the phase voltage after sharing is O, and the sharing of the healthy converters 12U1 to 12W1 The subsequent output voltages are u1 to w1, and the output terminals of the three-phase output line voltages (U-V phase, V-W phase, W-U phase line voltages) are A, B, and C, respectively. To do. Then, U1 = U2 = V1 = V2 = W1 = 1, ∠AOB = 2θ, AB = BC = CA = a, u1 = u2 = v1 = v2 = w1 = b. Then, the following formula (1) is established.

sinθ=(a/2)/2b=a/4b …(1)
また、△OCBに対する余弦定理より下記の(2)式が成立する。
sin θ = (a / 2) / 2b = a / 4b (1)
Further, the following equation (2) is established from the cosine theorem for ΔOCB.

=b+(2b)−4bcos(π−θ)
cosθ=(a−5b)/4b …(2)
(1)式及び(2)式を「sinθ+cosθ=1」に代入すると(3)式が得られる。
a 2 = b 2 + (2b) 2 -4b 2 cos (π-θ)
cos θ = (a 2 −5b 2 ) / 4b 2 (2)
Substituting Equations (1) and (2) into “sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1” yields Equation (3).

+(a−5b=16b
9b−9a+a=0 …(3)
ここで、a=2√3であり、0<b<2√3/3であるから、aを(3)式に代入してbを求めると(4)式が得られる。
a 2 b 2 + (a 2 −5b 2 ) 2 = 16b 4
9b 4 -9a 2 b 2 + a 4 = 0 (3)
Here, since a = 2√3 and 0 <b <2√3 / 3, substituting a into equation (3) to obtain b yields equation (4).

b=√5−1=1.24 …(4)
また、a=2√3及び(4)式を(1)式に代入してθを求めると(5)式が得られる。
b = √5-1 = 1.24 (4)
When θ = 2√3 and the equation (4) are substituted into the equation (1) to obtain θ, the equation (5) is obtained.

θ=±44.3° …(5)
以上のことから、健全な変換器12U1〜12W1で故障した変換器W1の出力を分担するには、健全な変換器12U1〜12W1の出力電圧の大きさを1.24倍にし、故障相であるW相以外のU相、V相の位相を44.3°にずらせばよいことになる。以上の説明では、各相の変換器12が2台の場合について説明したが、各相の変換器12が3台の場合も同様に適用できる。
θ = ± 44.3 ° (5)
From the above, in order to share the output of the converter W1 that has failed in the sound converters 12U1 to 12W1, the magnitude of the output voltage of the sound converters 12U1 to 12W1 is increased 1.24 times, which is a failure phase. It is only necessary to shift the phases of the U phase and V phase other than the W phase to 44.3 °. In the above description, the case where there are two converters 12 for each phase has been described, but the same applies to the case where there are three converters 12 for each phase.

図11は、各相の変換器12が3台(U相:12U1〜12U3、V相:12V1〜12V3、W相:12W1〜12W3)でW相の変換器12W3が故障したときの健全な変換器12U1〜12W2の出力電圧U1〜W2の位相または大きさの調整制御についての説明図である。   FIG. 11 shows sound conversion when the W-phase converter 12W3 fails with three converters 12 for each phase (U-phase: 12U1 to 12U3, V-phase: 12V1 to 12V3, W-phase: 12W1 to 12W3). It is explanatory drawing about adjustment control of the phase or magnitude | size of the output voltages U1-W2 of the units 12U1-12W2.

いま、図11に示すように、健全な変換器12U1〜12W2の分担前の各々の出力電圧をU1〜W2、分担後の相電圧の中性点をO、健全な変換器12U1〜12W2の分担後の各々の出力電圧をu1〜w2、三相各相の出力線間電圧(U−V相、V−W相、W−U相の線間電圧)の出力端をA、B、Cとする。そして、U1=U2=U3=V1=V2=V3=W1=W2=1、∠AOB=2θ、AB=BC=CA=a、u1=u2=u3=v1=v2=v3=w1=w2=bとする。そうすると、下記の(6)式が成立する。   Now, as shown in FIG. 11, each output voltage before the sharing of the healthy converters 12U1 to 12W2 is U1 to W2, the neutral point of the phase voltage after the sharing is O, and the sharing of the healthy converters 12U1 to 12W2 The subsequent output voltages are u1 to w2, and the output terminals of the three-phase output line voltages (U-V phase, V-W phase, W-U phase line voltages) are A, B, and C, respectively. To do. And U1 = U2 = U3 = V1 = V2 = V3 = W1 = W2 = 1, ∠AOB = 2θ, AB = BC = CA = a, u1 = u2 = u3 = v1 = v2 = v3 = w1 = w2 = b And Then, the following equation (6) is established.

sinθ=(a/2)/3b=a/6b …(6)
また、△OCBに対する余弦定理より下記の(7)式が成立する。
sin θ = (a / 2) / 3b = a / 6b (6)
Further, the following expression (7) is established from the cosine theorem for ΔOCB.

=(2b)+(3b)−12bcos(π−θ)
cosθ=(a−13b)/12b …(7)
(6)式及び(7)式を「sinθ+cosθ=1」に代入すると(8)式が得られる。
a 2 = (2b) 2 + (3b) 2 −12b 2 cos (π−θ)
cos θ = (a 2 −13b 2 ) / 12b 2 (7)
Substituting Equations (6) and (7) into “sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1” yields Equation (8).

25b−22a+a=0 …(8)
ここで、a=3√3であり、0<b<2√3/3であるから、aを(8)式に代入してbを求めると(9)式が得られる。
25b 4 -22a 2 b 2 + a 4 = 0 ... (8)
Here, since a = 3√3 and 0 <b <2√3 / 3, substituting a into equation (8) to obtain b yields equation (9).

b=1.14 …(9)
また、a=3√3及び(9)式を(6)式に代入してθを求めると(10)式が得られる。
b = 1.14 (9)
Further, when θ is obtained by substituting a = 3√3 and equation (9) into equation (6), equation (10) is obtained.

θ=±41.2° …(10)
以上のことから、健全な変換器12U1〜12W2で故障した変換器12W3の出力を分担するには、健全な変換器12U1〜12W2の出力電圧の大きさを1.14倍にし、故障相であるW相以外のU相、V相の位相を41.2°にずらせばよいことになる。各相の変換器12が4台以上の場合も同様に適用できる。
θ = ± 41.2 ° (10)
From the above, in order to share the output of the converter 12W3 that has failed in the sound converters 12U1 to 12W2, the magnitude of the output voltage of the sound converters 12U1 to 12W2 is 1.14 times, which is a failure phase. It is sufficient to shift the phase of the U phase and V phase other than the W phase to 41.2 °. The same applies when there are four or more converters 12 for each phase.

各相の変換器12の多重数を増やすことにより、1台の変換器12の故障停止時に残りの健全な変換器12が負担する電圧が緩和される。 By increasing the number of multiplexed converters 12 for each phase, the voltage borne by the remaining healthy converters 12 when one converter 12 is stopped is reduced.

ここで、健全な変換器12の出力電圧の大きさは、変調率を用いて調整してもよいし、直流電源14の電圧を調整してもよいし、交流側のタップ切り換えにより変更するようにしてもよい。また、故障停止した変換器12を除いた健全な変換器12の各々の出力電圧の大きさを同一とし、故障停止した変換器12が接続された相の位相を健全時と同一位相としたが、健全な変換器12の各々の出力電圧が確保でき、三相各相の出力線間電圧(U−V相、V−W相、W−U相の線間電圧)が健全時の電圧を確保できる限りは、その範囲内で、健全な変換器12の各々の出力電圧の大きさを任意の値とするようにしてもよい。   Here, the magnitude of the output voltage of the healthy converter 12 may be adjusted by using the modulation rate, the voltage of the DC power supply 14 may be adjusted, or may be changed by tap switching on the AC side. It may be. Moreover, although the magnitude | size of each output voltage of the healthy converter 12 except the converter 12 which stopped by failure was made the same, the phase of the phase where the converter 12 which stopped by failure was connected was made into the same phase as the time of healthy. The output voltage of each of the healthy converters 12 can be secured, and the output line voltage (U-V phase, V-W phase, W-U phase line voltage) of each of the three phases is the voltage when healthy. As long as it can be ensured, the magnitude of the output voltage of each healthy converter 12 may be set to an arbitrary value within the range.

図12は本発明の直列多重型交直変換装置の制御方法を示すフローチャートである。直列多重変換器11のいずれかの変換器12が故障停止したか否かを判定し(S1)、いずれの変換器12も故障停止していない場合には、正常時の電圧指令値及び位相指令値を演算する(S2)。そして、直列多重変換器11の各々の変換器12を制御し、直列多重変換器11の出力電圧が所定電圧となるように制御する(S3)。一方、直列多重変換器11のいずれかの変換器12が故障停止したときは、直列多重変換器11の三相各相の出力線間電圧が健全時の所定電圧を保持するように、故障停止した変換器12を除いた健全な変換器12の出力電圧の電圧指令値及び位相指令値を演算する(S4)。そして、故障停止した変換器12を除いた健全な変換器12が分担して三相各相の出力線間電圧が健全時の所定電圧を保持するように健全な変換器12を制御する(S5)。   FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a control method of the serial multiple AC / DC converter according to the present invention. It is determined whether or not any of the converters 12 of the serial multiple converter 11 has failed and stopped (S1). If none of the converters 12 has stopped by failure, the voltage command value and the phase command at normal time are determined. The value is calculated (S2). And each converter 12 of the serial multiple converter 11 is controlled, and it controls so that the output voltage of the serial multiple converter 11 becomes a predetermined voltage (S3). On the other hand, when any of the converters 12 of the serial multiple converter 11 is stopped due to a failure, the failure is stopped so that the output line voltage of each phase of the three phases of the serial multiple converter 11 maintains a predetermined voltage when healthy. The voltage command value and phase command value of the output voltage of the healthy converter 12 excluding the converted converter 12 are calculated (S4). Then, the sound converter 12 except for the converter 12 that has failed is shared, and the sound converter 12 is controlled so that the output line voltage of each phase of the three phases maintains the predetermined voltage when healthy (S5). ).

本発明の第2の実施の形態によれば、直列多重変換器11の1台の変換器12が故障停止になってもその他の健全な変換器12で出力を分担するので、健全時の電圧を維持した運転が継続できる。従って、直流送電系統に適用した場合には送電停止に伴う系統への影響を与えることがなく信頼性を確保できる。また、産業用のインバータに適用した場合には、インバータ停止に伴う製造不良の発生を防止でき、原子力発電所等の補機で使用した場合には、インバータ停止に伴う発電機の不要な停止を防止できる。   According to the second embodiment of the present invention, even if one converter 12 of the serial multiple converter 11 is in failure stop, the other healthy converters 12 share the output. The operation which maintained can be continued. Therefore, when applied to a DC power transmission system, reliability can be ensured without affecting the system due to power transmission stoppage. In addition, when applied to industrial inverters, it is possible to prevent manufacturing defects due to inverter shutdown, and when used in auxiliary equipment such as nuclear power plants, the generator can be stopped unnecessarily due to inverter shutdown. Can be prevented.

また、予備の変換器を設置することなく運転継続することができるので、直列多重変換器の設置スペースを縮小できる。なお、事故前と同じ定格出力する場合には、半導体素子に多少の冗長が必要であるが、設置スペースに影響を与えるほどではない。また、変換器を停止することなく点検ができるため信頼性が向上し、設備の予防保全だけでなく、システムの故障率も低下させることができる。   In addition, since the operation can be continued without installing a spare converter, the installation space for the serial multiple converter can be reduced. In the case of the same rated output as before the accident, the semiconductor element needs some redundancy, but it does not affect the installation space. Further, since the inspection can be performed without stopping the converter, the reliability is improved, and not only the preventive maintenance of the equipment but also the failure rate of the system can be reduced.

以上のとおり、本発明の第1の実施形態および第2の実施形態において、任意の台数、任意の容量を組み合わせても、三相各相の出力線間電圧を平衡三相にすることができるため、変換器設計の標準化や合理化の制約を打破することができる。   As described above, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment of the present invention, the output line voltage of each of the three phases can be set to the balanced three-phase even if any number and any capacity are combined. Therefore, restrictions on standardization and rationalization of converter design can be overcome.
