Definitions
- the invention relates to a current limiter for limiting the short-circuit currents in power networks.
- the activation of the current limiter consists in the fact that in the event of a short circuit, an ohmic resistor, an inductance, or a combination of both is built up to a suitable level. It is preferred to limit the short-circuit current by means of an element that can be triggered as passively as possible, the short-circuit limiter FCL ("Fault Current Limiter").
- Superconductors are particularly suitable for this task, since they only have a small voltage drop in normal operation and the transition into the normal line leads to the build-up of a high electrical resistance and the penetration of magnetic fluxes. This can be used for a resistive or inductive current limiter function. (Prof. Dr. techn. P. Komarek, high current application of superconductivity, 1995).
- a superconductor wire is not loss-free in AC operation, but there are always two fundamental loss mechanisms, namely eddy current losses in the matrix and re-magnetization losses ("hysteresis losses") in the hard superconductor itself. In DC operation, the losses in the superconductor wire are practically low.
- a current limiter is known from the literature, the superconducting inductor of which is switched by rectifiers on the direct current side (Boenig, HJ, and DA Paice, 1983, Fault Current Limiter using a Superconducting Coil, IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, Vol. 19, no. 3, p. 1051, May).
- a voltage source switches. This voltage source ensures the flow of a current I 0 in the choke.
- the value of the current I 0 exceeds the amplitude of the alternating current which flows through the limiter as long as there is no fault, and is substantially smaller than the short-circuit current, the bridge then also allows the load current to flow through.
- the voltage drop across the limiter is equal to the voltage drop across the valves in two shoulders of the bridges.
- an electrical circuit which consists of a load which is connected to an electrical energy source via a protective circuit.
- the protection circuit is used to limit the change in current to mitigate the suddenness of a change in current in the load.
- the protective circuit consists of two inductors connected in series, which are bridged by two series-connected, uncontrolled valves, diodes, and the diodes have the opposite direction of passage. The common point of the diodes and the inductors are directly connected.
- Uncontrolled valves only block at currents that are greater than the response current of the protective device, i.e. the initial current in the inductors, and conduct the high current parts over the inductors.
- the smaller currents that are always present with alternating currents are conducted almost unhindered via the diodes (diode resistance in the forward direction).
- the current flowing in the inductors cannot follow the mains current, which decreases again after the current maximum, since it is short-circuited by the diodes, and essentially remains at the value reached.
- the short-circuit current is limited by the inductance of the choke.
- the limitation of the short-circuit current is determined by the value of the maximum energy which is stored in the choke during the transient process:
- Optimizing the current limiter means minimizing the energy (W max ) stored in the choke.
- the invention has for its object to provide a reliable, simply constructed current limiter in the event of a short circuit, which limits the short-circuit current both in the first 100-150 msec and in the following 1-2 seconds, which indicates the selectivity of the tripping of the protective device is crucial, ensures.
- the object is achieved by a current limiter according to the preamble and the characterizing feature of claim 1.
- a known current limiter which consists of two series connected inductors / chokes, which are bridged by two series connected, non-controllable valves with opposite passage direction, has controlled valves.
- the common point of the valves 3 and 4 with is not necessarily directly connected to the common point of the inductors 1 and 2.
- the current limiter triggers itself, i.e. passively, changes from the conductive to the blocking state and remains in it.
- the two valves are semi-controlled, e.g. thyristors (Claim 2) or fully controlled, power transistors z. B. (Claim 3).
- a controllable voltage source sits in the connection from the common potential point of the valves to the common of the chokes (claim 4).
- a controllable voltage source is connected in the respective circuit formed by the inductance with a valve connected in parallel (claim 5),
- the advantage of the current limiter is that it is a passively triggered current circuit in the event of a short circuit, which limits the short-circuit current both in the first ten 100 - 150 ms as well as in the following 1 - 2 s, whereby in the event of a short circuit the current is limited by the inductive resistance of the chokes in the AC circuit and in normal operation the voltage drop across the current limiter practically corresponds to the voltage drop across the valves.
- the advantages of the current limiter are as follows: a reduction in the size of the chokes, small internal network resistance and small short-circuit currents,
- FIG. 1 the switching principle of the current limiter
- FIG. 3. the current limiter with two voltage sources
- FIG. 4. the time course of the current in the elements of the current limiter
- FIG. 5 course of the fault current in a current limiter with uncontrolled valves
- Figure 6 Deployment time window of the fault current.
- FIGS. 1-6 Common things such as protective circuitry and control electronics coupled to them are not shown in FIGS. 1-6 for the sake of clarity and because of known technology.
- the thyristors 3 and 4 are fired and the current through the chokes 1 and 2 rises to the current I 0, the value of which exceeds the amplitude of the alternating current I max , which flows through the limiter in normal operation and is smaller than that Short-circuit current.
- the current through the thyristors 3 and 4 changes during normal operation during a period of the alternating current in accordance with the following equations (1):
- the current through the chokes remains equal to I 0 .
- the thyristors e.g. B. Thyristor 3 because a returned voltage on the thyristor 3 occurs. If the period during which a reverse voltage is applied to the thyristor 3 is equal to or greater than the time for restoring the electrical strength of the thyristor, as shown in FIG. 4, the thyristor 3 remains in this state, otherwise a similar situation arises the thyristor 4.
- the current in choke 1 increases and will exceed the value I 0 .
- the input voltage is and the current in inductor 1 can be determined using the following equation:
- Ri is the resistance of the short circuit
- I 4 (U MAX / ⁇ L 1 ) * (sin ( ⁇ t + ⁇ ) - sin ⁇ ⁇ * e "t ⁇ l ) + I 0 * (l + e ⁇ t / ⁇ l ) (3)
- the current in chokes 1 and 2 can be determined using the following equation: - sin ⁇ 2 * e "t 2 ) -I 0 * e ⁇ t ⁇ 2 (4), where
- R 2 is the resistance of the short-circuited circuit with two chokes connected in series.
- ⁇ 02 is the phase angle, it is defined by the blocking time of thyristor 4
- ⁇ 2 is the phase angle, which is defined by the blocking time of thyristor 4 and also ⁇ L 2 / R 2
- the time between the occurrence of the short circuit and the closing of the first valve can vary between approximately 0.5 ms and approximately 20 ms depending on the phase position ⁇ oi and the dimensioning of the elements of the current limiter.
- the period of time from the blocking of the first thyristor to the blocking of the second thyristor can fluctuate between approx. 3 ms and approx. 260 ms depending on the phase position ⁇ 02 and the dimensioning of the elements of the current limiter.
- the short-circuit current of both thyristors is determined by the inductance of two chokes connected in series. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the short-circuit current rises in the period when only one thyristor is blocked to approximately 2 to 3 times the value of I max . After blocking the second valve, the amplitude of the current decreases to a value close to I max . ie in this example even up to a value that practically corresponds to normal operation.
- the current limiter with the two thyristors in accordance with the circuit according to FIG. 2 or 3 is examined below using a special design.
- FIG. 4 shows the curves of the currents flowing through the chokes 1 and 2 and through the circuit to be protected, which shorts the choke 2.
- the amplitude of the current in the event of a short circuit in the load exceeds the normal current by approximately 2.7 times.
- the current limiter sets a state in which the current is practically the same as the normal current. The transition to the current limiting regime takes place automatically, without any external control signals for the thyristors 3 and 4.
- the current limiter triggers itself or passively due to the fault condition.
- the current limiter with the same component dimensions is compared with diodes as uncontrolled valves.
- the result is shown in FIG. 5 with a large time window, 2 s, and in FIG. 6 with a small time window, 160 ms, around the time of the fault current.
- a comparison of the curves from FIGS. 4 and 5 shows that with the same parameters of the circuit, including the inductance of the chokes 1 and 2, the current through the circuit to be protected at 150 ms after the short circuit occurs in the embodiment according to the invention by the 9th times and after 1.5 s it is 50 times smaller than in the case with diodes. If the faulty circuit is switched off after 2 s or later, the effectiveness of the current limiter with thyristors is even higher.
- the current limiter according to the invention has a total energy capacity of the current-limiting chokes that is more than 2 orders of magnitude lower than with current limiters with diodes. This is an economically decisive advantage in the design and implementation.
