摘要

目的

为控制故障电流，提出一种新型基于级联变压器的二极管桥式固态故障电流限制器（SSFCL）。

创新点

所描述的SSFCL具有简单且易用的结构，能够将故障电流幅度限制于安全范围内。并能减少谐波畸变与开关电压过冲，调控公共耦合点电压。

方法

将一串联RLC支路连接于隔离串联变压器的次级端，针对此RLC支路，提出两种限流模式。（1）放电模式：电阻R与电容C被并联的功率电子开关（IGBT）旁路，而电感L仍与变压器次级端相联，从而构成直流电抗器。（2）充电模式：若串联电抗器阻抗不足以限制故障电流，可以通过选择恰当的并联IGBT开关持续时间（on-off duration），将高阻抗的串联电阻R和电容C插入电路，从而限制故障电流。

结论

通过控制直流电抗器电流幅度，可以降低故障电流并将公共耦合点（PCC）的电位限制于合理水平。此外，在本文所述的新型SSFCL中，与IGBT并联的RC支路可作为缓冲电路用于降低开关状态下IGBT的瞬态恢复电压（TRV）。因此，SSFCL可以提升电能质量。本文还给出了在已有的原型系统上的实验测量结果以支持理论和仿真研究。所述的SSFCL可以无延迟地限制故障电流并有效平滑故障电流波形。

Abstract

We propose a novel series transformer based diode-bridge-type solid state fault current limiter (SSFCL). To control the fault current

a series RLC branch is connected to the secondary side of an isolation series transformer. Based on this RLC branch

two current limiting modes are created. In the first mode

R and C are bypassed via a paralleled power electronic switch (insulated-gate bipolar transistor

IGBT) and L remains connected to the secondary side of the transformer as a DC reactor. In the second mode

the series reactor impedance is not enough to limit the fault current. In this case

the fault current can be controlled by selecting a proper on-off duration of the parallel IGBT

across the series damping resistor (

) and capacitor

which inserts high impedance into the line to limit the fault current. Then

by controlling the magnitude of the DC reactor current

the fault current is reduced and the voltage of the point of common coupling (PCC) is kept at an acceptable level. In addition

in the new SSFCL

the series RC branch

connected in parallel with the IGBT

serves as a snubber circuit for decreasing the transient recovery voltage (TRV) of the IGBT during on-off states. Therefore

the power quality indices can be improved. The measurement results of a built prototype are presented to support the simulation and theoretical studies. The proposed SSFCL can limit the fault current without any delay and successfully smooth the fault current waveform.
