FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of testing, and in particular to a system and method for a grid-side harmonic test on a multiple-unit.


BACKGROUND

The speed of a multiple-unit is normally adjusted in an AC-DC-AC manner, and a harmonic wave is inevitably generated on the grid-side. The harmonic wave may interfere with communication equipments in the vicinity, and affect the normal operation of a rail circuit due to a current signal flowing back through rails. In addition, the harmonic wave may cause magnetic saturation of a traction transformer, the loss is increased and the heat production is aggravated. Therefore, it is required to accurately know the harmonic wave distribution and harmonic wave content of a multiple-unit.

The whole train current signal can only be obtained by detecting a grid-side current signal of each power unit and adding up the detected instantaneous currents.

Reference is made to FIG. 1, which shows a system for a grid-side harmonic test on a multiple-unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.


The system may include a plurality of current sensors 11, a plurality of first type of collecting cards 12 and a first controller 13.


The current sensors 11 are connected to power units of the multiple-unit in a one-to-one correspondence. That is, each of the current sensors 11 collects a current signal of one of the power units.


Optionally, the current sensors 11 may be chosen to have an accuracy of 0.05%.


Apparently, a sensor having a higher accuracy may be chosen.


The first type of collecting cards 12 are connected to the current sensors 11 in a one-to-one correspondence. The current signals detected by the current sensors 11 are analog signals. The first type of collecting cards 12 sample and quantify the current signals detected by the current sensors 11, so as to convert the analog current signals detected by the current sensors into digital current signals. A sampling frequency of the first type of collecting cards is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold fT=(360/Δθ)×f0, where fT denotes the predetermined threshold, Δθ denotes an error of phase angle of a harmonic component to be detected, and f0 denotes a frequency of the harmonic component to be detected.


In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the analog current signals are analog signals bearing current information of the power units, and the digital current signals are digital signals bearing current information of the power units.


The first controller 13 is connected to the plurality of the first type of collecting cards 12, and is configured to obtain a whole train current signal by adding up the digital current signals and obtain the harmonic component based on the whole train current signal.


In the embodiment of the present disclosure, current signals of the power units are detected by the current sensors 11, the detected current signals are sampled and quantified by the first type of collecting cards 12 to obtain digital current signals of the power units, the digital current signals are added up by the first controller 13 to obtain the whole train current signal, and the harmonic component is obtained based on the whole train current signal. The sampling frequency of the collecting cards is determined based on the frequency of the harmonic component to be detected and the error of targeted phase angle of the harmonic component to be detected. By testing, it is determined that the system and method for the grid-side harmonic test on the multiple-unit according to the embodiment of the present disclosure improve the accuracy of harmonic current detection and may detect a harmonic component having a frequency above 3000 Hz.


Optionally, in the above embodiment, the first controller 13, which is configured to obtain the whole train current signal by adding up the digital current signals, is configured to perform temperature compensation on the digital current signals and obtain the whole train current signal by adding up the digital current signals on which the temperature compensation has been performed.


In the embodiment, the first controller 13 first performs temperature compensation on the digital current signals upon receipt of the digital current signals and obtains the whole train current signal by adding up the digital current signals on which the temperature compensation has been performed.


Specifically, the first controller 13, which is configured to perform the temperature compensation on the digital current signals, is configured to acquire an ambient temperature in real-time, and obtain, upon receipt of the digital current signals, a variation value of the ambient temperature relative to 25 Celsius degrees and multiply the variation value by a temperature coefficient of the current sensors 11 to obtain a temperature compensation value. The temperature compensation value is added to values of the digital current signals to obtain the digital current signals on which the temperature compensation has been performed. The variation value of the ambient temperature relative to 25 Celsius degrees is a difference between the ambient temperature and 25 Celsius degrees.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first controller 13 performs the non-linear compensation on the digital current signals after performing the temperature compensation on the digital current signals. That is, the digital current signals on which the temperature compensation has been performed are added to a predetermined non-linear compensation value to obtain the digital current signals on which the temperature compensation has been performed.


In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the non-linear compensation value is determined based on numerous experiments. A standard current source is mainly adopted, and a current signal outputted by the standard current source is detected by the current sensor 11 for multiple times (at least 3 times). The current signal detected by the current sensor 11 each time is compared with the current signal outputted by the standard current source to determine an error of the sensor. An average value of the errors obtained in the multiple times is calculated as the non-linear compensation value for the harmonic wave test.


In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature compensation as well as the non-linear compensation are performed on the current signals, which further improves the accuracy of the grid-side harmonic test on a multiple-unit.

Specifically, an ambient temperature may be acquired in real-time, and a variation value of the ambient temperature relative to 25 Celsius degrees is obtained upon receipt of the digital current signals. The variation value is multiplied by a temperature coefficient of the current sensors 11 to obtain a temperature compensation value. The temperature compensation value is added to values of the digital current signals to obtain the digital current signals on which the temperature compensation has been performed.
