Background of the invention
The invention relates to an uninterruptible power supply, and more particularly to a control circuit of the DC component of the voltage of an uninterruptible power supply.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or static uninterruptible power supply (ASSC), also known in English under the name "Uninterruptible Power System" or UPS, is a power electronic device that allows to provide a stable AC voltage and without failure or micro-cut to a load, whatever occurs in the electrical network.
The UPS are typically used to provide electrical energy for buildings such as data centers or "data center" in English, such as hosting data centers or industrial sites.
The term inverter, or "inverter" in English, is frequently used by abuse of language to describe the entire device. This is the case, for example, for the "inverters" which is inserted between the distribution network and the servers in a data center.
A UPS consists of an alternating voltage converter DC voltage called rectifier, an energy storage device such as a storage battery or supercapacitor, and a converter generating an AC voltage from a DC voltage is also called inverter and operating at a fixed frequency. In some cases, the energy storage device may be replaced by a device for producing and storing energy such as photovoltaic generation system or an inertial storage type "flywheel".
In some cases, the AC voltage UPS output must be adapted to obtain a higher voltage, and in some of these cases it is necessary to use galvanic isolation. To achieve electrical isolation and / or increasing the AC voltage, a transformer or autotransformer is electrically coupled between
the UPS and the load powered by the UPS. Depending on the configuration, processors may be part of the UPS, the fed-batch, or the feed network supplied by the UPS.
In the case where a DC component is present in the AC voltage output from the inverter of the UPS, the DC voltage component generates a DC component of current in the primary winding of the transformer associated with the UPS which does saturate the transformer core.
The saturation of the transformer core causes a malfunction of the transformer and / or the UPS.
The reasonable quality standard isolation transformers could support a DC component of a few tens of millivolts before the core saturates. However, such DC component generates overheating and acoustic noise not negligible compared to nominal operation and induces deformation of the output voltages of the transformer to saturation.
Such a DC voltage component of some tens of millivolts, for example of the order of 40 mV, can generate a DC component of high current on the primary winding of transformer, since it can reach a value of about ten amperes.
This saturation is shown in the equivalent electrical circuit of the transformer shown in Figure 1 by the magnetizing inductance Lm, also called magnetizing inductance. Lcc the reference represents the leakage inductance, or "leakage inductance" in English, which is not saturable, RI, the winding resistance, R f, the equivalent resistance of the iron loss of the transformer core, and the m transformation ratio of the ideal transformer.
The situation is worse for autotransformers zigzag having a very low current magnetization which can not withstand a DC voltage component of about ten millivolts or less, if no over-sizing is done.
The document drafted by Merlin Gerin entitled "Effect of Direct current DC transformers are," says a DC high current 5 A on a distribution transformer requires the use of special oversized transformer to carry the current. And over 30 A, the kernel must be changed very significantly by integrating including gaps, or "airgaps" in English. In the previous example, a DC component of 240 mV at the output of the UPS, or one thousandth of the AC component of the output voltage of the UPS, generate a continuous current of 30 A.
To overcome this problem, it is known to oversize the transformer. However, oversizing the transformer causes an increase in the financial cost of producing the transformer and therefore the UPS so that increasing the size of the UPS when the UPS includes the transformer. If the transformer is outside, it is the electrical system that will be more expensive.
Another known solution for overcoming this problem is to control the UPS output current by means of a feedback in the control loop that would cancel the DC component of the current.
However, this solution can not be applied as for supplying loads consuming a current with a DC component such as half-wave rectifiers.
Another solution compatible with the loads consuming the current with a DC component is by using the voltage measuring circuit in the UPS to control once the AC component and the DC component of the output AC voltage.
But the precision and dynamics of the voltage measurement circuit is not sufficient to control fairly precisely the DC component. The problem arising from the fact that we must measure a DC ten thousand times smaller than the fundamental component.
It is known from JP 2006/136107 an output voltage control circuit of a power supply unit continuously connected at the output to a transformer. The control circuit comprises a transmission of a voltage setting module, a first current sensor coupled to the output of the UPS and configured to measure the output current of the inverter of the UPS, and a module regulating the UPS output voltage configured to determine switches driving instructions controlled inverter of the UPS
from measurements of the measuring module. The control circuit also includes a second current sensor and a measuring transformer measuring the secondary voltage of the transformer, the second current sensor and the transformer being connected in output of the transformer to the output of the inverter. The control circuit further comprises a unit configured to determine the DC component of the voltage output of the inverter of the UPS from the measurement current, said block comprising a low-pass filter and an amplifying unit configured for amplifying the filtered signal from the filter before measuring the DC component.
However, a transformer transmits only the AC components and not the DC components of the signal.
It is also known from document JP H07 231676 a voltage control circuit of an inverter, the control circuit comprising a measuring module of the output current of the inverter, and a control module of the output voltage the inverter configured to determine control set points of the controlled switches of the inverter.
Purpose and Summary of the Invention
The invention aims to provide an uninterruptible power supply voltage controlled to generate an output AC voltage with no DC component or with negligible DC component, and more particularly to provide a specific circuit to accurately measure the DC component and the AC component of the output voltage of an uninterruptible power supply unit and for controlling power including power transformers or autotransformers coupled out of a power supply unit without interruption.
In an object of the invention, there is provided an output voltage control circuit of a power supply unit without interruption comprising a DC voltage source such as a battery coupled between a power rectifier and an electrical inverter , said circuit being intended to be coupled between the output terminals of a power supply unit without interruption, and a transformer or an autotransformer, the control circuit comprising:
- a transmission module of a voltage setpoint,
- a measurement module of the output characteristics of said power unit, and
- an output voltage regulator module, said unit configured to determine the switches of the driving instructions of said controlled unit from measurements of the measuring module,
said measurement module comprising:
- a first measurement unit configured to measure the output current of said unit,
- a second measurement unit configured to measure the AC component of the output voltage of said unit, and
- a third measuring unit configured to measure the DC component of the output voltage of said unit.
According to a general characteristic of the invention, said third measuring unit includes a low pass filter configured to attenuate the alternating voltage component measured without changing the DC component of the measured voltage, and means for measuring the dc component the output voltage of the power supply unit without interruption, the measuring means comprising an amplifying unit configured to amplify the filtered signal from the filter before measuring the DC component.
The control circuit according to the invention allows to control a power supply unit without interruption so that it outputs an alternating current voltage free of any DC component or with negligible DC component, which also enables power supply a transformer or an autotransformer with a suitable signal.
In addition, a power supply unit without interruption, the output voltage is controlled by the control circuit according to the invention does not include a transformer or autotransformer. Such uninterrupted power supply is called "turn-less" in English. The supply unit continuously being free transformer or autotransformer, it can feed
simultaneously motors, transformers or autotransformers, and more conventional fillers.
Sometimes these loads naturally absorb a direct current to operate. This has the consequence that it is not possible to rely on information current to prevent transformer saturation "remote" in which the unit is connected. The control circuit according to the invention allows to precisely control the DC voltage output of the power supply unit without interruption, in addition to the alternating voltage, with an extremely accurate measurement of the DC component of the voltage which is the only relevant information available, the accuracy of this measurement, in particular from the fact that the measurement is made at the output of the power supply unit without interruption and upstream of the transformer or autotransformer.
Electronic circuits typically known to regulate the tensions can not directly manage the regulation of high voltages. The signal should be attenuated to be compatible with integrated circuits conventionally known regulation. For high voltage means higher voltages manageable tensions directly by electronic circuits lows.
Attenuating signals conventionally, the continuous AC voltage component of output of the power supply device is also, so that the imperfection (offset, input currents, noise) generates electronic circuits of significant errors in the measurements.
The third measuring unit of the measuring module of the control circuit of the invention uses a low-pass filter for attenuating the AC component of the voltage measured on the first connection terminals, that is to say the output of the 'feed unit. The low pass filter attenuates the AC component while keeping the same DC. The attenuation performed by the filter and allows the amplification performed by the means for measuring the amplification block amplifies only the signal related to the DC component. The gain applied to the DC component is calibrated so that the signal on the DC component is as large as possible while remaining consistent with the electronic circuits. This gain makes it easier to measure the DC component and to improve the accuracy of its measurement.
As a result of the attenuation performed by the low-pass filter, the peak to peak amplitude of the voltage complies with the characteristics of standard amplifier circuits.
