Description
その特許文献1に記載の電力変換装置には、整流回路とインバーター回路との間に、リアクトルと、逆流防止ダイオードと、スイッチング素子とを備えた昇圧回路が設けられており、整流回路により整流された直流電圧を昇圧回路が昇圧している。
昇圧回路においては、スイッチング素子のオン期間にリアクトルにエネルギーが蓄積され、オフ期間に蓄積されたエネルギーが放出されて直流電圧が昇圧される。昇圧回路からの直流電圧はスイッチング素子をONする時間(オンデューティ)によって制御される。そして、昇圧回路のスイッチング素子のオンデューティを制御することにより、モーターに印加される電圧が増大し、モーター電流の抑制による効率向上およびモーターの運転領域の拡大が可能となる。
また、昇圧回路の半導体損失が増加するため、パワーモジュールの大型化や冷却部品の高性能化に伴うコスト増といった課題がある。
また、空気調和装置では、1年を通した通年エネルギー消費効率(APF)を向上させるため、昇圧回路を必要な領域だけ動作させ不要な領域では停止させるように動作させるので、昇圧回路の停止時の高調波電流の発生を抑制するために、リアクトルのL値をある程度確保しておく必要があり、リアクトルが大型化してしまうといった課題がある。
第2の目的は、パワーモジュールの小型化と低コスト化が実現可能な電力変換装置及びこの電力変換装置を備えた空気調和装置を得るものである。
図1は本発明の実施の形態に係る電力変換装置の概略構成図、図2は昇圧モード毎に設定されたスイッチングモードの組合せを示す図、図3は図1のマルチレベルチョッパ回路の第1及び第2スイッチング素子を駆動するスイッチングモードを示す図である。
図1において、電力変換装置20は、商用電源1に接続される三相整流器2、昇圧回路であるマルチレベルチョッパ回路3(以下、「MLC回路3」と称する)、MLC回路3の出力間に接続された平滑コンデンサ4、平滑コンデンサ4の両極間に接続されたインバーター回路5、制御回路7、MLC駆動回路8、及びインバーター回路5を備えている。インバーター回路5の出力側には、空気調和装置の圧縮機のモーター6が接続されている。圧縮機は、モーター6の回転により冷媒回路上の冷媒を圧縮する圧縮機構部を備えている。
1.モーター6の回転数
2.入力電流Idc1
3.変調度
4.母線電圧Vdc1
5.モーター電流Iu、Iw(インバーター回路5の出力電流)
6.冷媒の圧力
図4は図1に示すMLC回路の拡大図、図5はMLC回路における昇圧モード毎の母線電圧の母線電圧レベルを示す図ある。なお、図5は昇圧モード1、2、3を順に切り替えたときの母線電圧Vdc1の変化を示している。
次いで、MLC制御部7eは、MLC駆動回路8を介して、第1スイッチング素子Tr1と第2スイッチング素子Tr2の両方をOFFする(Mode3)。この時、リアクトルL→第2ダイオードD2→第1ダイオードD1→平滑コンデンサ4の経路が導通すると共に、コンデンサC→第1ダイオードD1→平滑コンデンサ4の経路が導通し、入力電圧VdcとコンデンサCの充電電圧とにより平滑コンデンサ4が充電される。
その後、MLC制御部7eは、MLC駆動回路8を介して、第1スイッチング素子Tr1をON、第2スイッチング素子Tr2をOFFする(Mode2)。この時、入力電圧Vdcは、リアクトルL→第1スイッチング素子Tr1→コンデンサC→第1ダイオードD1→平滑コンデンサ4の経路が導通し、入力電圧VdcによりコンデンサCが充電される。
そして、MLC制御部7eは、MLC駆動回路8を介して、再び第1スイッチング素子Tr1と第2スイッチング素子Tr2の両方をOFFする(Mode3)。この時、リアクトルL→第2ダイオードD2→第1ダイオードD1→平滑コンデンサ4の経路が導通すると共に、コンデンサC→第1ダイオードD1→平滑コンデンサ4の経路が導通し、入力電圧VdcとコンデンサCの充電電圧とにより平滑コンデンサ4が充電される。
この一連の動作を繰り返し行うことにより、平滑コンデンサ4には、入力電圧Vdcよりも20V程度昇圧された直流電圧が充電され(図5参照)、母線電圧Vdc1としてインバーター回路5に入力する。この昇圧モード1(微昇圧)においては、高調波電流の発生を抑制するために、入力電流Idc1の一定制御が行われる。
次いで、MLC制御部7eは、MLC駆動回路8を介して、第1スイッチング素子Tr1をON、第2スイッチング素子Tr2をOFFする(Mode2)。この時、リアクトルL→第1スイッチング素子Tr1→コンデンサC→第1ダイオードD1→平滑コンデンサ4の経路が導通し、入力電圧VdcにコンデンサCの充電電圧が加わった直流電圧が平滑コンデンサ4に流れる。
この一連の動作を繰り返し行うことにより、平滑コンデンサ4には、入力電圧Vdcの2倍の直流電圧が充電され(図5参照)、母線電圧Vdc1としてインバーター回路5に入力する。この昇圧モード2(2倍昇圧)においては、電流リプルが極小となる状態で、入力電流Idc1の一定制御が行われる。
次いで、MLC制御部7eは、MLC駆動回路8を介して、第1スイッチング素子Tr1と第2スイッチング素子Tr2の両方をONする(Mode4)。この時、リアクトルL→第1スイッチング素子Tr1→第2スイッチング素子Tr2の経路が導通し、入力電圧VdcによりリアクトルLにエネルギーが蓄積される。一方、コンデンサCに充電された直流電圧は、第1ダイオードD1を介して平滑コンデンサ4を徐々に充電していく(図5参照)。
その後、MLC制御部7eは、MLC駆動回路8を介して、第1スイッチング素子Tr1をON、第2スイッチング素子Tr2をOFFする(Mode2)。この時、リアクトルL→第1スイッチング素子Tr1→コンデンサC→第1ダイオードD1→平滑コンデンサ4の経路が導通し、入力電圧VdcとコンデンサCに蓄積されたエネルギーとにより、平滑コンデンサ4が充電される。
そして、MLC制御部7eは、MLC駆動回路8を介して、再び第1スイッチング素子Tr1と第2スイッチング素子Tr2の両方をONする(Mode4)。この時、リアクトルL→第1スイッチング素子Tr1→第2スイッチング素子Tr2の経路が導通し、入力電圧VdcによりリアクトルLにエネルギーが蓄積される。
この一連の動作を繰り返し行うことにより、平滑コンデンサ4には、入力電圧Vdcよりも2倍を超える直流電圧が充電され(図5参照)、母線電圧Vdc1としてインバーター回路5に出力される。この昇圧モード2(超2倍昇圧)においては、入力電圧Vdcの2倍を超える電圧が必要となる領域で使用され、入力電圧Vdcの2倍を超える電圧となったときに、入力電流Idc1の一定制御が行われる。
(1)昇圧モード0(昇圧なし)から昇圧モード1(微昇圧)への切替
昇圧モード切替部7dは、入力電流AD変換部7aによりデジタル量に変換された入力電流Idc1が予め設定された閾値Aを超えたときに、昇圧モード0から昇圧モード1に切り替える。この閾値Aは、リアクトルLに流れる入力電流Idc1と高調波電流の発生量の関係について、系統インピーダンスや商用電源1の交流電圧の変動も考慮してシミュレーション解析により求め、高調波電流の発生量の限界となる入力電流Idc1の閾値である。つまり、MLC回路3の停止時の高調波電流の発生量が許容される限界まで、MLC回路3の損失を抑えるために、MLC回路3を停止状態にして、昇圧動作を行わない昇圧モード0が継続される。これにより、MLC回路3のリアクトルL、第1及び第2スイッチング素子Tr1、Tr2の小型化を実現できる。
昇圧モード1から昇圧モード0への切替条件は、昇圧モード1から昇圧モード0へ切り替えた閾値Aに対して、ヒステリシスをもって切り替える。昇圧モード0で高調波電流の発生量を増加させないように、閾値Aに対して、負側のヒステリシス設定値(一定値)を設ける。つまり、(閾値A-ヒステリシス設定値)よりも入力電流Idc1が小さくなったときに(入力電流Idc1<閾値A-ヒステリシス設定値)、昇圧モード1から昇圧モード0へ切り替える。
つまり、入力電流Idc1<閾値A-ヒステリシス設定値となり、運転周波数f2<運転周波数f1となったときに、昇圧モード1から昇圧モード0へ切り替える。運転周波数f1は、昇圧モード0から昇圧モード1へ切り替えたときのモーター6の運転周波数で、例えばインバーター制御部7fによって昇圧モード切替部7dに記録される。入力電流よりも運転周波数の変化の方が遅いため、運転周波数を切替条件とすることで、入力電流Idc1の変動による昇圧モード切替動作のハンチングを防止することが可能となる。
昇圧モード切替部7dは、変調度演算部7gによって算出されたPWM信号の変調度が予め設定された閾値Bを超えたときに、昇圧モード1から昇圧モード2へ切り替える。この閾値Bは、昇圧モード1で出力できるインバーター回路5の出力電圧の限界となるPWM信号の変調度である。昇圧モード1のままモーター6の回転数が上昇すると、インバーター回路5の出力電圧も増加する。この出力電圧が限界を超えたときには(変調度>1)、インバーター回路5の出力電圧が飽和するため、モーター6の電流が増加し、電力変換装置20の損失は増加する。そして、許容電流の制約レベルまでモーター6の電流が増加したときには、それ以上の回転速度を上げることができなくなる。このような現象に至らないようにするために、変調度が閾値Bを超えたときに昇圧モード2へ切り替える。
つまり、昇圧モード1におけるPWM信号の変調度が閾値Bよりも大きく(変調度>閾値B)、かつモーター6の回転数が閾値Cよりも高いときに(回転数>閾値C)、昇圧モード1から昇圧モード2へ切り替える。
あるいは、昇圧モード1におけるPWM信号の変調度が閾値Bよりも大きく(変調度>閾値B)、かつ冷媒の圧力(例えば高圧)が閾値Fよりも高いときに(冷媒圧力>閾値F)、昇圧モード1から昇圧モード2へ切り替える。
この場合、入力電圧Vdcの変動なども含めて総損失が有利となるように運転することが可能となる。
つまり、昇圧モード1におけるPWM信号の変調度が閾値Bよりも大きくなり(変調度>閾値B)、インバーター回路5の出力電流が閾値Dよりも大きくなり(出力電流>閾値D)、さらに、モーター6の回転数が閾値Cよりも高いときに(回転数>閾値C)、昇圧モード1から昇圧モード2へ切り替える。
昇圧モード2から昇圧モード1への切替時は、変調度を条件とすることができない。これは、昇圧により変調度が小さく変化するからである。昇圧モード1への切替時の課題としては、切替後に再度昇圧モード2に切り替わる条件となり、ハンチング動作を起こさないこと、また、APF性能が必要な運転条件では昇圧モード1に確実に切り替わることである。
昇圧モード1は、微昇圧運転モードであり運転中に商用電源1の交流電圧が変動していても、その影響を受けないため、切替によって一定の電圧が得られないといったケースは発生しない。そこで、以下の条件で昇圧モード2から昇圧モード1へ切り替える。
昇圧モード1から昇圧モード2への切替時のモーター6の回転数n1を記録しておき、昇圧モード2におけるモーター6の回転数n2が回転数n1を下回ったときに昇圧モード1に切り替える(回転数n1<回転数n2)。
但し、運転中に空気調和装置の負荷条件が変化することがあり、昇圧モード2への切り替わり時の負荷条件よりも大きくなっていると、切替後の変調度は大きくなるためハンチング動作に至る可能性がある。
そこで、APF性能に必要となる冷媒の圧力条件を満たした場合をAND条件として追加してもよい。つまり、昇圧モード2におけるモーター6の回転数n2が回転数n1よりも低下し(回転数n1<回転数n2)、冷媒の圧力が前記の閾値Fよりも低くなったときに(冷媒の圧力<閾値F)、昇圧モード2から昇圧モード1へ切り替える。
昇圧モード切替部7dは、変調度演算部7gによって算出されたPWM信号の変調度が予め設定された閾値Eを超えたときに、昇圧モード2から昇圧モード3へ切り替える。この閾値Eは、昇圧モード2で出力できるインバーター回路5の出力電圧の限界となるPWM信号の変調度である。昇圧モード2のままモーター6の回転数が上昇すると、インバーター回路5の出力電圧も増加する。この出力電圧が限界を超えたときには(変調度>1)、インバーター回路5の出力電圧が飽和するため、モーター6の電流が増加し、電力変換装置20の損失は増加する。そして、許容電流の制約レベルまでモーター6の電流が増加したときには、それ以上の回転速度を上げることができなくなる。このような現象に至らないようにするために、昇圧モード2における変調度が閾値Eを超えたときに昇圧モード3へ切り替える。
昇圧モード3では、極力、電力変換装置20の損失を低減させるため、PWM信号の変調度が一定値を維持するように、昇圧レベルを変更しながら最大の昇圧可能レベルまで動作させる。
昇圧モード2への切替は、昇圧モード2でMLC回路3を駆動したときの昇圧レベルV1(電圧)を記録しておき、昇圧モード3での昇圧レベルV2がその昇圧レベルV1に戻ったときに昇圧モード3から昇圧モード2へ切り替える。
