CHB-SRDAB型电力电子变压器损耗分析及效率优化

电力电子变压器(PET)是实现交直流混合配电网电能变换与路由的关键设备,可极大增强电网的灵活性和可控性。现阶段,采用级联H桥(CHB)和串联谐振型双有源桥(SRDAB)的PET因具有模块化结构、效率高等优点而被广泛应用。首先,文中以1台应用于实际工程中的1.5 MW 10 kV AC-750 V DC PET为分析对象,结合实验波形阐述了PET正反向功率流向下开关时瞬态特性的不同,并分析了特性差异的原因;其次,SRDAB整流侧电流只流经二极管,因此通过闭锁其整流侧功率半导体器件,可降低SRDAB开关损耗,从而提高PET效率;最后,在PET工程现场进行实验测试,证明了损耗分析的正确性和效率优化方法的有效性。采用所提方法,PET运行效率可提高约0.2%。

Loss analysis and efficiency optimization of CHB-SRDAB type power electronic transformer

Power electronic transformer (PET) is the key equipment to realize the power conversion and routing of AC/DC hybrid distribution network, which can greatly enhance the flexibility and controllability of power grid. At present, PET with cascaded H-bridge (CHB) and series resonant dual active bridge (SRDAB) is widely used because of its modular structure and high efficiency. In this paper, a 1.5 MW 10 kV AC-750 V DC PET uesd in practical engineering is analyzed. Firstly, the different switching transient characteristics under the forward and reverse power flow direction are described, and the reasons for the difference are analyzed. Secondly, the current on the rectifier side of SRDAB only flows through the diode. Therefore, the switching loss of SRDAB can be reduced by locking the power semiconductor device on the rectifier side, so as to improve the efficiency of PET. Finally, the experimental test on the PET project site proves the correctness of the loss analysis and the effectiveness of the efficiency optimization method. Using the proposed method, the PET operation efficiency can be improved by about 0.2%.
