The present invention relates to a magnetic integrated hybrid distribution transformer, which belongs to a field of transformer technology.
In recent years, the upgrading process of the smart distribution network has been accelerating. The traditional distribution transformer has simple structure, reliable operation and good economy. However, its controllability is limited, and it cannot satisfy the future development trend of the smart distribution network. Therefore, the research on the new controllable distribution transformers has gradually become a hot research topic. Under such circumstances, experts at the ABB Institute, the University of Zielona Góra, and Instituto Superior Técnico proposed the concept of hybrid distribution transformer. The so-called hybrid distribution transformer is a new type of controllable distribution transformer realized by combining the traditional distribution transformer and the highly controlled converters. Compared with the traditional distribution transformer, hybrid distribution transformer not only inherits the advantages of high efficiency and reliability that the traditional distribution transformer has, but also has much higher controllability than the traditional distribution transformers. Hybrid distribution transformer is very suitable for the development of the future smart distribution network.
However, the existing research on hybrid distribution transformers is still not complete, the system contains a large number of discrete magnetic components, such as main transformer, series isolation transformer, and output connection inductors of the converter. The excessive discrete magnetic components increase the volume of the whole iron core, and make the overall structure of the system very complicated, which will not only cause large losses, but also lead to a large waste of ferromagnetic materials.
In order to reduce the number of discrete magnetic components and improve the utilization rate of ferromagnetic materials, related reports propose to disassemble the isolation transformer and windings, so as to realize the decoupling magnetic integration design of the main transformer and the isolation transformer of the hybrid distribution transformer. Furthermore, to realize the magnetic integrated design of the transformer and the output connection inductor of the converter, the output connection inductor of the converter is disassembled and reversely wound around the transformer iron beams in series. The related report states that the existing magnetic integrated design of the discrete magnetic components in the system are realized, and the control performance of the hybrid distribution transformer is not changed. However, in this design, the structure of the whole iron core and the winding arrangement are very complicated. Moreover, the output connection inductor is replaced by the leakage inductor that realized by multi-reverse series windings, the number of windings is too large, and the coil volume is large, thereby affecting the practicability.
In view of the deficiencies of the existing work, a magnetic integrated hybrid distribution transformer with simple structure is proposed in the present invention. Specifically, the proposed magnetic integrated hybrid distribution transformer can realize the integrated design of discrete magnetic parts of the system without changing the basic control functions of the original hybrid distribution transformer with discrete magnetics, thereby effectively reducing the number of discrete magnetic components and the total volume of the device, and improving the utilization of ferromagnetic materials.
To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.
A magnetic integrated hybrid distribution transformer comprises a main transformer, a series isolation transformer and a converter, wherein: both the main transformer and the series isolation transformer comprise an iron core and windings; the iron core comprises an iron beam unit, an iron yoke unit and a leakage magnetic core unit; the iron beam unit comprises three main transformer iron beams that longitudinally arranged in parallel with each other and three isolation transformer iron beams that transversely arranged connect with each other; the iron yoke unit comprises a transversely arranged bottom iron yoke, a transversely arranged middle iron yoke and four connection iron yokes that longitudinally distributed in parallel with each other; the leakage magnetic core unit comprises four control winding leakage magnetic cores that longitudinally distributed in parallel with each other and three converter side winding leakage magnetic cores that longitudinally distributed in parallel with each other; the windings comprise main transformer windings and series isolation transformer windings; in each phase, the main transformer windings are a control winding, a primary winding and a secondary winding, all of which are wound around a corresponding main transformer iron beam; in each phase, the series isolation transformer windings are a grid side winding and a convert side winding, both of which are wound around a corresponding isolation transformer iron beam; all the main transformer iron beams connect to the bottom iron yoke and the middle iron yoke; all connection iron yokes connect to the middle iron yoke and an end portion of the corresponding series isolation transformer iron beam; the main transformer iron beams and the isolation transformer iron beams form two main transformer windows and three series isolation transformer windows by sharing the middle iron yoke; each of the control winding leakage magnetic cores is inserted between the primary winding and the control winding; with the help of the leakage magnetic core unit, original output connection inductors are neglected, thereby integrating the original current output connection inductors and the main transformer together; each of the converter side winding leakage magnetic cores is inserted between the grid side winding and the convertor side winding, thereby integrating the original voltage output connection inductors and the series isolation transformer together. The converter connects to the control winding and the converter side winding.
In each phase, the primary winding connects to the grid side winding in series, then three grid side windings connect to a power grid by a star connection with neutral point. In each phase, the secondary winding supplies a load by a three-phase four-wire method. Three control windings and three converter side windings connect with the converter by the star connection with neutral point.
The converter comprises three current bridge arms, three voltage bridge arms, a zero sequence bridge arm and a DC-link (direct current-link) capacitor. The three control windings connect to middle points of the three current bridge arms, respectively. The three converter side windings connect to middle points of the three voltage bridge arms, respectively. Middle points of the three control windings and the three converter side windings connect to a middle point of the zero sequence bridge arm. All of the three current bridge arms, the three voltage bridge arms and the zero sequence bridge arm connect to the DC-link capacitor in parallel.
All of secondary windings, primary windings and control windings are layer-windings and wound around the main transformer iron beam from inside to outside concentrically. The converter side windings and grid side winding are pancake windings and wound around the isolation transformer iron beam from left to right concentrically.
The main transformer iron beams and the isolation transformer iron beams connect together by the iron yokes. Specifically, a bottom end of the main transformer iron beams connects to the bottom iron yoke, and an upper end of the main transformer iron beams connects to the middle iron yoke. A left end and a right end of the isolation transformer iron beams connect to an upper end of the four connection iron yokes, sequentially. An end of the two adjacent isolation transformer iron beams share a common connection iron yoke. A bottom end of the four connection iron yokes connects to the middle iron yoke. Thereby, the main transformer and the series isolation transformer share the middle iron yoke, so as to achieve weak coupling integration.
The phase shift is applied in the arrangement of the main transformer windings and the series isolation transformer windings to avoid peak flux stacking in the middle iron yoke. By doing so, the utilization of material ferromagnetic materials can be increased. Specifically, the main transformer windings are wound around three main transformer iron beams in the order of phase-A, phase-B and phase-C from left to right, respectively. The series isolation transformer windings are wound around three isolation transformer iron beams in the order of phase-C, phase-B and phase-A from left to right, respectively. The iron core is constructed with the silicon steel sheet, and the 45-degree connection is applied to connect the iron beams and the iron yokes. The diameter of the main transformer iron beams is larger than that of the isolation transformer iron beams, and the diameter of the bottom iron yoke and the middle iron yoke is larger than that of the connection iron yokes.
Air gaps between the main transformer leakage magnetic cores and the middle/bottom iron yokes are adjustable, and air gaps between the isolation transformer leakage magnetic cores and the middle iron yoke/the isolation transformer iron beams are adjustable too. The control windings are elliptic or semi-elliptic.
Compared with the existing works, the present invention has beneficially technical effects as follows.
With the help of the magnetic integration technology, such as providing the leakage magnetic cores, sharing the middle iron yoke and setting the connection iron yokes, the magnetic integrated design of the main transformer, the series isolation transformer and the output connection inductors is realized, thereby greatly reducing the number of discrete magnetic components in the hybrid distribution transformer, reducing the number of turns of the winding, and simplifying the structure of the discrete system.
Further, the present invention can also shift the peak time of the magnetic flux by the phase shifting arrangement of the windings, and can effectively reduce the cross-sectional area of the middle iron yoke, thereby improving the utilization ratio of the ferromagnetic materials.
The present invention is further described according to the schematic diagrams as follows. It should be understood that the schematic diagrams described herein are merely illustrative for the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

By controlling each bridge arm of the converter 22, the load voltage and the grid current can be controlled. For example, by controlling the current of the three-phase current converter, the harmful components such as harmonic, asymmetric, and negative components in the load current are compensated in real time. Based on the principle of the three-winding transformer, the grid currents are controlled to be sinusoidal, symmetric and unity power factor. By controlling the voltage of the three-phase voltage converter, the fluctuation, distortion and asymmetric components in the grid voltage are compensated in real time, so that the load voltage can be kept as a symmetric and stable sine wave.
