    [0001] TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of multilevel power conversion devices with an AC output intended to operate at medium voltage. Such converters can be used in high power variable speed drive applications for AC motors.
    [0002] One of the major markets for medium voltage variable speed drives is the replacement of fixed speed rotating electric machines, 97% of market share, by a variable speed system, integrating a variable speed drive that will drive the same rotating machine. STATE OF THE PRIOR ART DC / AC multi-level power converters are based on the series connection of switching modules formed with electronic switches to allow a high output voltage rise, these electronic switches being low voltage components which have a high voltage. held in limited tension.
    [0003] Neutral Point Clamped (Neutral Clamped) Power Converters are known comprising a series of several modules with two pairs of electronic switches in series, two diodes in series connected on one side to the common node between the two. electronic switches of the first pair and the other at the common node between the two electronic switches of the second pair. In addition, there is a series of two capacitors connected to the terminals of the assembly formed by the pairs of electronic switches. The common node between the two diodes in series is connected to the common node between the two capacitors of the series. This type of module leads to a satisfactory waveform and a reduction of voltage constraints on the electronic switches.
    [0004] On the other hand, there may be imbalances in the voltage across the capacitors. Improvements in the original NPC topology have occurred, replacing the two diodes with a pair of electronic switches. This topology is called ANPC at 3 voltage levels.
    [0005] To further increase the acceptable voltage level, it has been proposed to put more electronic switches in series and to add capacitors, which leads to the topology called ANPC at 5 voltage levels. ANPC-type cells with 5 voltage levels are currently limited to voltage levels of the order of 6.9 kV, which is not necessarily sufficient. Also known, as illustrated in FIG. 1, is a modular multi-level DC / AC converter (known under the name MMC for Modular Multilevel Converter) comprising several arms 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 whose ends define continuous end terminals lp, ln to be mounted. in parallel across a DC DC supply, each arm 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 is formed of two half-arms 1.11, 1.12, 1.21, 1.22, 1.31, 1.32 connected in series and connected to a common terminal 3.1, 3.2, 3.3. These common terminals 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 define alternative terminals to be connected to an alternating load 70. This load 70 is represented as a motor. In the example, the DC / AC converter is three-phase, each of the arms 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 corresponding to one phase, the phase 1 for the arm 1.1, the phase 2 for the arm 1.2 and the phase 3 for the arm 1.3 . A single-phase converter would only have two arms. Each half-arm 1.11, 1.12, 1.21, 1.22, 1.31, 1.32 comprises a chain of switching modules connected in series. It is connected to one of the 3 common terminals 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 via an inductor L11, L12, L21, L22, L31, L32 to comply with the rules of connection in current source and voltage source. It is preferable that the two inductances of the same arm have the same value to simplify the operation of the assembly. The two inductors 5 could be coupled. In the remainder of the description, we will call the first chain of modules, the one connected to the continuous terminal positive lp, and second chain of modules, the one connected to the continuous terminal ln negative. There is the same number of switching modules in each half-arm. The switching modules of the arm 1.1 are referenced successively 4.11 to 4.16 from the terminal lp to the terminal ln. The switching modules of the arm 1.2 are referenced successively 4.21 to 4.26 from the terminal lp to the terminal ln. The switching modules of the arm 1.3 are referenced successively 4.31 to 4.36 from the terminal lp to the terminal ln. Each switching module comprises at least one pair of electronic switches arranged in series having a common node 40, the pair being connected in parallel with a power storage device 4.3 forming a half-bridge arrangement, the storage device having 4.3 energy having a floating capacity. The electronic switches of module 4.11 are referenced T111, T211. The electronic switches of module 4.12 are referenced T112, T212. The numberings continue in the same way and thus the electronic switches of module 4.16 are referenced T116, T216. In the arm 1.2, the electronic switches of the module 4.21 are referenced T121, T221. The electronic switches of module 4.22 are referenced T122, T222. The electronic switches of module 4.26 are referenced T126, T226. In the arm 1.3, electronic switches of the module 4.31 are referenced T131, T231. The electronic switches of module 4.32 3036237 4 are referenced T132, T232. The electronic switches of module 4.36 are referenced T136, T236. In each module, the energy storage device 4.3 has a positive polarity terminal (+) through which a charging current 5 (positive current) enters in order to charge it. The energy storage device 4.3 has a negative polarity terminal (-) through which a discharge current (negative current) for discharging it enters. One of the electronic switches is connected to the positive terminal (+) of the energy storage device 4.3, it is the upper one called T111 for the switching module 4.11. The other electronic switch is connected to the negative terminal (-) of the energy storage device 4.3, it is the lower one called T211 for the switching module 4.11. The diode mounted in antiparallel with the electronic power switch T111 is referenced D111. The diode mounted in antiparallel with the power electronic switch T211 is referenced D211. The numbering of the electronic power switches and the diodes of the other modules follow the same principle. They are not necessarily named in this description but are referenced in some figures. In the rest of the description, the electronic switches T111, T112, T113, T114, T115, T116 connected to the positive (+) terminal of a power storage device 4.3 are called first electronic switches and the electronic switches T211. , T212, T213, T214, T215, T216 connected to the negative (-) terminal of a power storage device 4.3 are called second electronic switches. This qualification also applies to diodes. In the same switch chain, all the electronic power switches connected to a terminal of the same polarity of the energy storage devices are qualified as homologues.
    [0006] The modules of a half-arm are assigned a rank counted increasing from the most positive end of the half-arm. The modules of two half-arms of the same arm that have the same rank are qualified as homologues.
    [0007] The electronic power switches T111, T211, etc. can be chosen, for example, from IGBT insulated gate bipolar transistors, FET field effect transistors, MOSFET MOS transistors, thyristor thyristors, and GTO trigger, IGCT trigger-triggered thyristors, etc.
    [0008] The energy storage device 4.3 may be selected from, for example, a capacitor, a battery, a fuel cell, etc. In FIGS. 2A to 2D, there is shown a switching module of the same type as those illustrated in FIG. 1. Its first electronic power switch is called T1 and the associated diode D1. Its second electronic power switch is called T2 and the associated diode D2. In these figures, the circulation paths of a current read internally to such a switching module, as a function of the blocked state or of its electronic power switches T1, T2, are visible. The current read is alternately positive (FIGS. 2A, 2B) and negative 20 (FIGS. 2C, 2D). The two electronic power switches T1, T2 of the same module are in opposite states (passing or blocked) to a value of near dead time. The two electronic power switches T1, T2 of a switching module must not be turned on at the same time, otherwise the energy storage device 4.3 is short-circuited.
    [0009] In Fig. 2A, the first power electronic switch T1 is on and the second power electronic switch T2 is off. The current read is positive, it enters the switching module 4 by the first electronic power switch T1 and out of the common node 40 between the two electronic power switches T1, T2. It does not pass through the energy storage device 4.3. In Fig. 2B, the second power electronic switch T2 is on and the first power electronic switch T1 is off. The current read is positive, it enters the switching module 4 by the energy storage device 4.3, it passes through the second diode D2 and leaves through the common node 40 between the two electronic power switches T1, T2. The current read loads the energy storage device 4.3. In Fig. 2C, the first T1 power switch T1 is on and the second power electronic switch T2 is off. The current read is negative, it enters the switching module 4 by the common node 40 between the two electronic power switches T1, T2, it passes through the first diode D1 and spring of the switching module by the cathode of the first diode D1 . It does not pass through the energy storage device 4.3. In Fig. 2D, the second power electronic switch T2 is on and the first power electronic switch T1 is off. The current read is negative, it enters the switching module by the common node 40 between the two electronic power switches T1, T2, it passes through the second electronic power switch T2, the energy storage device 4.3 and spring of the switching module without passing either the first electronic power switch T1 or the first diode Dl. The energy storage device 4.3 discharges. In conventional modular multi-level DC / AC converters such as that of FIG. 1, the chains of switching modules have the function of both adapting the amplitude of the signal formed from the DC power supply and present at the same time. level of each common terminal 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and regulate the frequency of this signal. The 3036237 7 electronic power switches are controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modulation. With such a control of the electronic power switches T1, T2, alternatively, when the current read is positive, the situation where the first electronic power switch T1 is conducting (FIG. 2A) is changed to the situation where the second diode D2 led (Figure 2B). Whenever the second diode D2 leads, the voltage across the energy storage device 4.3 increases. When the current read is negative, the situation alternates between the situation where the second electronic switch of power T2 is conducting (FIG. 2D) to the situation where the first diode D1 leads (FIG. 2C). Whenever the second electronic power switch T2 is on, the voltage across the energy storage device 4.3 decreases. Referring again to FIG. 1, and looking at one of the arms, for example at arm 1.1, there is a link between the control of the modules of its two half-arms. It is assumed that the assembly is well balanced and that the voltage delivered by the DC DC power supply is VDC, each energy storage device 4.3 is loaded at VDC / 3 since in the example shown, the chain of modules of FIG. switching comprises three switching modules in each half-arm. With n modules the voltage would be VDC / n. It is not possible that, in the same arm, all the electronic power switches connected to the same terminal is positive, or negative, energy storage devices are passing at the same time, in order to comply with the equation 25. tensions. Indeed at each moment, the sum of the voltage across a half-arm and the voltage across the other half-arm is equal to the voltage delivered by the DC power supply. In a half arm, with this PWM control, the switching modules are activated successively, which means that the electronic power switches 3036237 8 connected to the same terminal is positive, or negative, energy storage devices are passed or blocked successively. The created alternating voltage, taken at one of the common terminals 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3, has a number of levels equal to the number of modules in half-arm plus one. A modular multi-level converter using in each arm two chains of series-connected switching modules such as those of Fig. 2 was first described in DE 10 10 031 by Rainer Marquardt.
    [0010] Patent application EP 2 408 081 also discloses a multi-level converter using series-connected switch module chains. If these modular multi-level DC / AC converters are intended to provide output signals, on the alternating side, at very low frequency, for example less than about 10 Hertz, making it possible in particular to adjust the speed of AC motors, as is the case. floating capacity energy storage devices within each switching module, the current flowing in these energy storage devices changes direction so slowly that they continue charging until they reach their breakdown voltage and may be damaged. If it is then necessary to over size these energy storage devices, the cost of the modular multilevel converter becomes prohibitive, since these energy storage devices are generally very expensive. On the other hand, the size and cost of the energy storage devices included in these modular multi-level converters are inversely proportional to the frequency of the output signal. The lower the frequency, the more the converters are bulky and expensive. This limits the use of modular multilevel converters with many switching modules for supplying AC variable speed motors. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a modular multi-output AC output conversion device which can provide low frequency signals without being bulky and expensive. It is another object of the invention to provide a modular multi-level power conversion device which uses low voltage power components for medium voltage applications, the latter providing better performance than components with low voltage. medium voltage. It is another object of the invention to provide a modular multi-level power conversion device that does not need to have oversized floating capacitance energy storage devices. Yet another object of the invention is to provide a variable speed drive which uses a modular multi-level power conversion device thus characterized and which can operate at constant torque and low speed especially for ventilation, pumping, traction applications. A further object of the invention is to provide a variable speed drive with reduced passive component requirements such as a large and expensive power transformer or LC smoothing filters. To achieve this the present invention is a modular multi-level power conversion device with AC output and AC or DC input comprising: a modular multilevel DC / AC converter, with several arms connected in parallel, the ends of which define continuous terminals; input, each arm having two series switch module chains, connected to a common terminal, this common terminal defining an output terminal of the modular multi-level power conversion device, each switching module having at least one pair of electronic power switches arranged in series, mounted at the terminals 5 of a power storage device, the electronic power switches of the same chain, connected to a terminal of the same polarity of the energy storage device being qualified as counterparts, the modular multi-level DC / AC converter being adjusting the output frequency of the modular multi-level conversion device and further comprising control means of the electronic power switches to put them in an on or off state, characterized in that: the control means apply thereto, during at least a portion of an operating time interval of the power conversion device, a full wave control, the modules of the same chain then having their electronic power switches homologous in the same state simultaneously and in that it furthermore comprises: a continuous output converter and DC or AC input having two output terminals connected to the input DC terminals of the modular multi-level converter, this DC output converter being intended to adjust the output amplitude of the device power conversion. Each module comprises a first power switch connected to a positive polarity terminal of the energy storage device and a second power switch connected to a negative polarity terminal of the energy storage device and during the full wave control, a current flows only in the switching modules whose first power switch is in the on state. The control means apply, for at least a second remaining portion of the time interval, to the electronic power switches, a PWM command, the PWM command being applied when an output current of the multi-level power conversion device Modular is less than a threshold, the full wave control being applied when the output current is greater than or equal to the threshold.
    [0011] During the PWM control, the control means controls the electronic power switches of modules of the same chain of modules, successively. In one module, each electronic power switch is associated with an antiparallel diode to form a bidirectional current switching element. The connection of the module chains of the same arm to the common terminal is via inductors. Each electronic power switch can be selected from an insulated gate bipolar transistor, a field effect transistor, a MOSFET transistor, a gate-off thyristor, a thyristor switched by the integrated gate. The energy storage device may be selected from a capacitor, a battery, a fuel cell. It is possible for the continuous output DC converter to be a modular multi-level DC / DC converter having a single arm whose ends define two DC input terminals, having two serial half arms having a common terminal, this terminal common defining one of the continuous output terminals, one of the ends of the arm defining the other output terminal, each half-arm comprising a chain of switching modules with at least one pair of electronic power switches connected in series, this pair being mounted at the terminals of an energy storage device, and control means of the electronic power switches of each module.
    [0012] The control means of the electronic power switches of each module of the modular multi-level DC / DC converter can apply to the electronic power switches a full-wave control, the full-wave control having a frequency greater than the full control frequency. wave of the electronic power switch control means of each module of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter. The DC output and AC input converter may be a controlled switching rectifier bridge.
    [0013] Alternatively, the DC output and AC input converter may be a modular multi-level AC / DC converter. The present invention also relates to a variable speed drive comprising a modular multi-level power conversion device thus characterized.
    [0014] When the modular multi-level power conversion device comprises a DC output and AC input converter, the AC input is intended to be connected to an AC power supply. When the modular multi-level power conversion device comprises a DC input and DC output converter, the variable speed drive may further comprise an AC input and DC output converter for connection to the AC input side of a power supply. alternative and connected on the DC output side to the DC input and DC output converter.
    [0015] A transformer intended to be connected on one side to the AC power supply and connected on the other side to the AC input of the AC input converter and DC output of the modular multi-level power conversion device can be provided in the drive. of speed.

    [0017] Identical, similar or equivalent parts of the various figures described below bear the same numerical references so as to facilitate the passage from one figure to another.
    [0018] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PARTICULAR EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 3, reference will now be made to an example of a modular multi-level power conversion device with AC output and DC input object of the invention. This is a three-phase power conversion device. It comprises in cascade a modular multi-level DC / DC converter (or chopper) 20 and a modular multi-level DC / AC converter (or inverter) 21. The multi-level DC / DC converter 20 comprises an arm 20.1 whose ends 22, 23 form two continuous input terminals which are intended, in use, to be connected to a continuous power supply 24. The arm 20.1 comprises two half-arms 25 in series having a common terminal A. Each half-arm 25 comprises a chain of modules of switching 26 connected to the common terminal A via an inductance L1, L2. These switching modules 15 are similar to those of FIGS. 2A-2D, with a pair of bidirectional series current switching elements and a floating energy storage device mounted in parallel with said pair. Each switching module 26 has not been shown in detail, it is sufficient to refer to FIGS. 2A-2D to see their structure.
    [0019] The modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21 is similar to that described in FIG. 1. It is not described again in detail. All the arms 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 of the converter are connected in parallel and their ends define two continuous terminals referenced 27, 28. The terminal 27 (positive) is connected to the common terminal A of the modular multi-level DC / DC converter 25 and the terminal 28 (negative) is connected to one end 22 of the arm 20.1, that intended for the negative terminal of the DC power supply 24. These are the input terminals of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21 or the terminals The outputs of the modular multi-level DC / DC converter 20 are assumed. It is assumed that all the components of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21 have the same references as in FIG. 1. Each half-arm and therefore each chain of modules are thus connected. at one of the continuous input terminals 27 or 28. In the present invention, the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21 has the function of converting the DC voltage supplied by the D converter Modular multi-level C / DC 20 AC voltage and regulate the frequency of the output signals, that is to say the signals present on the common terminals 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, AC side. These common terminals 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 are to be connected to the load, represented in this example as a motor 70 with three windings mounted in a star and therefore having a common terminal 70.1. Each winding is mounted between one of the common terminals 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 connecting the two half-arms of an arm and the common terminal 70.1 of the load 70. In contrast to what was happening in the prior art, the amplitude of these signals is controlled by the modular multilevel DC / DC converter 20. There is a decoupling between the control function of the frequency and that of the amplitude. A characteristic of the modular multi-level power conversion device with an alternating output object of the invention is that, for each module of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21, the control of its electronic power switches is such that it is limited to maximum flow of a current, regardless of its direction of flow, in the energy storage devices 4.3. This current is a charge current or positive current or a discharge current or negative current. The duration of the states shown in FIGS. 2B and 2D described above is thus limited to prevent the energy storage devices from charging or discharging for too long. It is sought not to be found or to be as little as possible in the configurations of Figures 2B, 2D and to be found most often and the longest in the configurations of Figures 2A, 2C.
    [0020] Such circulation of the internal current to the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21 is possible if the electronic power switches of each switching module are controlled with a full-wave control.
    [0021] FIG. 3 schematically shows, with the reference 29, and for only one of the switching modules 4.16 only, means for controlling its electronic power switches T116 and T216. It will be understood that such control means exist for all the electronic power switches of all the modules of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21. In order to facilitate the understanding of the operation of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21, it will be appreciated that firstly, with reference to FIG. 10A, the operation of a conventional three-phase DC / AC converter controlled by a full-wave control. It is not a multilevel converter. It comprises three arms B1, B2, B3 connected by their extreme terminals in parallel across a DC power supply delivering a voltage VDC and represented by two capacitors C1, C2 in series having a midpoint O. Each arm is divided into two half-arms which have a common terminal and these common terminals form the converter's alternating output terminals are referenced R, S, T. Each half-arm comprises only one bidirectional switching element in current with an electronic power switch and an antiparallel diode. The arm B1 comprises the electronic power switch T10, the diode D10, they are connected to the positive terminal (+) of the DC power supply, ie to the capacitor C1. The arm B1 also comprises the electronic power switch T10 ', the diode D10', they are connected to the negative terminal (-) of the DC power source, or to the capacitor C2. The arm B2 comprises the electronic power switch T20, the diode D2, they are connected to the positive terminal (+) of the DC power source or to the capacitor C1. The arm B2 also comprises the electronic switch of power T20 ', the diode D20', they are connected to the negative (-) terminal of the DC power source, or to the capacitor C2. The arm B3 comprises the electronic power switch T30, the diode D30, they are connected to the positive terminal (+) of the DC power supply or to the capacitor C1. The arm B3 also comprises the electronic power switch T30 ', the diode D30', they are connected to the negative terminal (-) of the DC power source, or to the capacitor C2. The voltage between an alternating output terminal R, S or T and the middle point O varies between + VDC / 2 and -VDC / 2 as shown in Fig. 10B with a full wave control. The electronic power switches of each module are in opposite states to a dead time, because they must not be running at the same time at the risk of short-circuiting the power source VDC. Over a period of the output signal, each electronic power switch is on for half the time. The first three chronograms respectively represent the simple voltages VRO, Vso, VTO and the last chronogram represents the URS compound voltage between the terminal R and the terminal S. When the electronic power switch T10 is on, the voltage of the output terminal R goes to + VDC / 2. If the current flowing through the arm B1 is positive, it passes through the electronic power switch T10. If the current flowing through the arm B1 is negative, it goes through the diode D10. When the electronic power switch T10 'is on, the voltage of the output terminal R changes to -VDC / 2. If the current flowing through the arm B1 is positive, it passes through the diode D10 '. If the current flowing through the arm B1 is negative, it passes through the electronic power switch T10 '. For each of the arms 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, during one half of the period, the inductance L11, L21, L31 is connected to the positive input terminal 27 and during the other half, the inductance L12, L22, L32 is connected to the negative input terminal 3036237 19. Due to the presence of these inductances, the potential present at the positive input terminal 27 or the negative input terminal is never present on the common terminals 3.1, 3.2, 3.3. The potential on these common terminals is not directly controlled.
    [0022] In the DC / AC converter 21 illustrated in FIG. 3, to obtain the voltage + VDC on a common node 40 connected to one of the inductors L11, L21, L31, the control means 29 simultaneously pass the first electronic power switches. T111, T112, T113 of all switching modules 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 of the first module chain. The first 10 electronic power switches T114, T115, T116 of all the switching modules 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 of the second module chain must not be switched on. They are blocked because otherwise we create a short circuit arm. In order to be certain of not obtaining this short circuit, the control means 29 also pass all the second electronic power switches T214, T215, T216 of all the switching modules 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 of the second module string. , and this in synchronism with the control of the first electronic power switches T111, T112, T113 of the first chain of modules.
    [0023] To obtain the voltage -VDC on an extreme terminal of the inductances L12, L22, L32 opposite to that connected to a common terminal 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, the control means 29 simultaneously pass the first electronic power switches T114, T115, T116 of all switching modules 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 of the second chain of modules. The first electronic power switches T111, T112, T113 of all the switching modules 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 of the first module chain must not be switched on. They are blocked because otherwise we create a short circuit arm.
    [0024] In order to be certain of not obtaining this short-circuit, the control means 29 also pass all the second electronic power switches T211, T212, T213 of all the switching modules 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 of the first transmission channel. modules in synchronism with the control of the first electronic power switches T114, T115, T116 of the second chain of modules. In the modules having their first power electronic switch passing, the current will flow through it if it is positive (as in FIG. 2A) and pass through the first diode if it is negative (as in FIG. 2C). It no longer passes through the energy storage device. The current flows only in the switching modules whose first power switch is on. It will not pass through the switch modules whose second power switch is on. The first electronic power switches of a switch module string and the first electronic power switches of the other switch module string are in complementary states at a dead time. The second electronic power switches of a switch module chain and the second electronic power switches of the other switch module chain are in complementary states at a dead time. The electronic power switches of the same switching module are in complementary states at a dead time.
    [0025] When a second electronic power switch is turned on in a switching module, the voltage of the energy storage device is found across the first electronic power switch of this switching module.
    [0026] In the present invention, with the full-wave control, the second electronic power switches do not interfere in the generation of the output signals. But by passing them and associating them with the energy storage device, they have a function of clipping the voltage applied to the terminals of the first electronic power switches which are then in the off state. They have their place in the editing. Thus the energy storage devices 4.3 are then used only as signal clippers. The capacitance values of the energy storage devices 4.3 may be reduced compared to those required with conventional PWM control. In the present invention, in the context of an application to a load of three-phase asynchronous motor type, the frequency can be of the order of Hertz or up to ten Hertz and the duty cycle of 0.5. The duty cycle is half the period of the desired signal output from the AC output modular multilevel power conversion device. FIG. 4A shows sinusoidal reference signals which will be used to determine the switching times of the first and second electronic power switches of a switching module of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21. These modules are all in a first chain of modules. The sinusoid 0 is relative, for example, to the electronic power switches T111, T211 of the switching module 4.11 of the arm 1.1. The sinusoid CD is relative to, for example, the electronic power switches T121, T221 of the switching module 4.21 of the arm 1.2. The sinusoid 0 is relative to the electronic power switches T131, T231 of the switching module 4.31 of the arm 1.3. The switching times correspond to the times when the reference signal changes sign. FIGS. 4B, 4C, 4D show the state of the first and second electronic power switches T111 and T211, T121 and T221, T131 and T231 respectively during a full-wave control. The controls on the different arms are shifted by one third of period. At state 1 they are on and in state 0 they are blocked. The switching of the electronic power switches is caused by the sign change of the associated reference signal. FIG. 4E shows the evolution, as a function of time, of the simple voltage called Va, Vb, Vc, respectively. The simple voltage Va, Vb, Vc is the voltage taken between each common terminal 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and a fictitious midpoint of the DC input (DC bus) input of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21. This voltage simple has two levels, one positive and the other negative. There is a setback at the top of these bearings, this is due to the fact that the potential on the common terminals 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 is not directly controlled. FIG. 4F shows the evolution, as a function of time, of the composite voltage taken between two common terminals. The voltage Vab is present between the terminals 3.1 and 3.2, the voltage Vbc is present between the terminals 3.2 and 3.3 and the voltage Vca is present between the terminals 3.3 and 3.1. This composite voltage has three levels a null, a positive and a negative. In the end, regardless of the number of switching modules 20 put in series in the half-arms, the compound voltage always has three levels. The control provided by the control means 29 is simple because all the switching modules of the same half-arm are controlled identically in synchronism. Their first electronic power switches are in one state at the same time. Their second 25 electronic power switches are in the same state at the same time, this state being opposite to that of the first electronic power switches. Modules of the same arm, but belonging to different half-arms are oppositely controlled in synchronism. On the other hand, the 3036237 23 forms output signals is quite far from a sinusoid which is always the desired waveform for supplying the AC load. With this full wave control, for each arm, according to the sign of the target voltage, the state of the first and second electronic power switches of all the modules of one of its half-arms is voluntarily controlled in synchronism so the current flowing in each of the modules of this half-arm does not pass through the energy storage device 4.3. The need for capacitance and voltage ripple across the energy storage devices is greatly reduced. The energy storage devices 4.3 have an overvoltage clipping function occurring during switching of the first and second electronic power switches of a module that are not synchronous, that is to say during idle timeouts. . The dimensioning of the energy storage devices is obtained with the conventional formula I = CdU / dt with C capacity of a device for storing energy of a switching module of the DC / AC converter, I current passing through it and U voltage at its terminals. The time of passage of the current in the energy storage device is limited to the maximum. With the full wave control, the energy storage devices are practically no longer stressed, and can have capacitance values twenty times smaller than they would have if the electronic power switches were controlled with a conventional PWM control. . In order to improve the waveform of the output signals of the AC output conversion device according to the invention and to reduce the harmonics, instead of retaining the pure full wave drive during the entire interval, it may be necessary to bring about of operation time of the power conversion device, to use a mixed-wave full control associated with a PWM command.
    [0027] During the operating time interval of the power conversion device, the PWM command will be used when the amplitude of the alternating current in the load 70 is low, below a threshold. The full wave command will be used when the amplitude of the alternating current in the load 70 is high, greater than or equal to the threshold. During the MLI command, the modules of one half-arm are controlled successively and not simultaneously. This alternating current flowing in the load is also called the output current of the modular multi-level power conversion device object of the invention.
    [0028] This PWM command delivered by the control means 29 amounts to allowing the passage of a current in the second diode of the switching modules of a first half-arm and therefore in the energy storage device 4.3 of the modules of the first half arm when the current in the load 70 is positive and of amplitude less than the threshold. This MLI command 15 is equivalent to allowing the passage of a current in the second electronic power switch of the switching modules of a second half-arm and therefore in the energy storage device of the modules of the second half-arm when the Current in the load 70 is negative and of amplitude less than the threshold. By using this mixed control, the increase of the voltage across the energy storage device 4.3 of the modules is limited and reasonable. The value to be given to the energy storage devices 4.3 is much lower than it would be if a conventional PWM control were used continuously. Indeed, the sizing of the energy storage devices with a conventional PWM control is based on the frequency of the output signal for the time parameter (dt) and on the current (I) charging the energy storage device. The capacity to give the energy storage devices corresponds to the case where the current is maximum and the minimum frequency. In the present invention, the current in the energy storage devices is never very high since the current in the load 70 has a limited amplitude below the threshold. This full-wave mixed control associated with PWM control can be achieved by comparing a sinusoidal or truncated sinusoidal reference signal termed modulating with a sawtooth signal called a carrier. Reference can be made to Figures 5A1 and 5A2. In FIG. 5A1, the reference signal is a complete sinusoid and in FIG. 5A2 the reference signal is a truncated sinusoid at the peaks. The reference signal 10 has the frequency of the desired output signal and an amplitude greater than that of the sawtooth signal, if the sinusoid is complete, or equal to that of the sawtooth signal, if the sinusoid is truncated. . The sawtooth signal frequency is the switching frequency of the electronic power switches. This is a higher frequency than that of the reference signal, it may be of the order of 103 Hertz or more. In a conventional PWM control, the amplitude of the reference signal is always less than that of the carrier. As long as the amplitude of the reference signal is lower than that of the carrier, the PWM command is used, and the voltage Va, Vb, Vc present at the common terminals 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 follows fairly closely the speed of the reference signal. In the 1.1 arm for example, the internal current to the switching modules 4.11 to 4.16 passes through the energy storage devices 4.3 and the second electronic power switches T211, T212, T213, T214, T215, T216, or the second diodes D211, D212, D213, D214, D215, D216, depending on whether the current is positive or negative, during time intervals corresponding to the blocking of the first electronic power switches T111, T112, T113, T114, T115, T116. The controls of the electronic power switches of the different modules of a half-arm are successive. The controls of the electronic power switches 3036237 26 of two homologous modules belonging to two half-arms of the same arm are synchronous. As soon as the amplitude of the reference signal becomes equal to or greater than that of the carrier, the full-wave control is used and the voltage Va, Vb, Vc present at the common terminals 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 is shifted by the pace of reference signal, and has a pace comparable to the gait shown in Figures 4E around the peaks. As soon as the amplitude of the reference signal has reached that of the carrier, this means that the current in the load has reached the threshold. In the arm 1.1 for example, the internal current 10 to the switching modules 4.11 to 4.16 does not pass through the energy storage devices 4.3, since the first electronic power switches T111, T112, T113 or T114, T115 , T116 switching modules 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 or 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 of the same half-arm remain passers.
    [0029] FIG. 5B shows, as a function of time, the evolution of the simple voltage which is the voltage taken between each common terminal 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and the common terminal 70.1 of the load 70, this simple voltage being called respectively Va, Vb, Vc. The scales are different between FIGS. 5A and 5B.
    [0030] With such a full-wave mixed control associated with a PWM control, by adjusting the amplitudes of the reference signal and the carrier, a compromise can be found for limiting the voltage across the energy storage devices while obtaining voltages. at the common terminals 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 whose frequency is controlled and which are closer to the desired sinusoid. With regard to the modular multi-level DC / DC converter 20, its arm 20.1 may be formed of switching modules 26 identical to those of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21.
    [0031] Its switching modules 26 are also controlled with a full-wave drive, such as the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21. FIG. 3 shows schematically with reference 30 and for only one of the switching modules. 26, means for controlling its electronic power switches. On the other hand, the frequency of the full-wave control will be higher than that used in the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21. This frequency may be of the order of one hundred Hertz with a duty cycle of between 0.1 and 0.9. The duty ratio a corresponds to the ratio between the conduction time of the first electronic power switches and the switching period. There is a Vs = aVe type relationship between the input voltage Ve and the output voltage Vs of the modular multi-level DC / DC converter 20. The control of the value of the duty cycle a makes it possible to adjust the amplitude of the voltage continuous output Vs.
    [0032] FIG. 6A illustrates the evolution, in time, of the DC voltage delivered by the DC power supply 24 and FIG. 6B illustrates the evolution over time of the DC output voltage at terminals 27 and 28 which correspond to to the output terminals of the modular multilevel DC / DC converter 20 for a given duty cycle value a.
    [0033] It is of course possible to control the modules 26 of the modular multilevel DC / DC converter 20 with a PWM control in which the reference signal is a constant and the carrier is a sawtooth signal. 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, which show current paths in the three-phase modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21 and the three-phase load 70 in the variant of the full-wave control, will now be discussed. Each of the phases of the load is connected to a common terminal 3.1, 3.2, 3.3.
    [0034] In FIG. 7A, the incoming charging current Idc distributes substantially equitably in the first half-arm 1.11 of the phase 1 and in the first half-arm 1.31 of the phase 3, it traverses the load 70 and returns to the Modular multilevel DC / AC converter 21 by the second half-arm 5 1.22 of phase 2. In FIG. 7B, the charging current Idc passes entirely into the first half-arm 1.11 of phase 1, it traverses the load 70 and returns to the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21, by the second half-arm 1.22 of phase 2 the second half-arm 1.32 of phase 3, distributing substantially evenly in each of them. In FIG. 7C, the charging current Idc 10 is distributed substantially equitably in the first half-arm 1.11 of the phase 1 and in the first half-arm 1.21 of the phase 2, it travels the charge 70 and returns to the DC converter Modular multilevel AC / 21 by the second half-arm 1.32 of phase 3. In FIG. 7D, the charging current Idc passes entirely into the first half-arm 1.21 of phase 2, it traverses the load 70 and 15 returns in the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21 with second half-arm 1.12 of phase 1 and the second half-arm 2.32 of phase 3, distributing substantially equally in each of them. These diagrams correspond to a positive Idc charge current. Because of the presence of the inductors L11, L12, L21, L22, L31, L32, when we stop controlling the modules of a half-arm, for example from the top, and that we go to the command modules of a half-arm, for example from the bottom, the current takes some time to go from the upper half arm to the lower half arm. But given the time scales, we can consider that the output current is constant and that the transition that occurs is negligible.
    [0035] But it is during this transition that current will flow into the energy storage devices. We will now refer to Figure 8 which shows schematically a variable speed drive object of the invention. This drive includes a modular multi-level power conversion device with AC output and DC input 82 object of the invention. The variable speed drive comprises, from a three-phase AC power supply 80, in cascade, an AC / DC converter 81, then the modular DC / AC multi-level power conversion device 82 which is the subject of the invention. The load 70 is intended to be connected to the output of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21. Depending on the harmonic performance of the DC / AC power conversion device according to the invention, it may no longer be necessary to use Smoothing filters that were necessary with the use of a prior art multi-level DC / AC converter, such as NPC or ANPC converters, limited to five voltage levels. The full-wave mixed control associated with a PWM control reduces the harmonics compared to the full wave control. The output of the modular multi-level DC / AC power conversion device 82 has more than 15 voltage levels than in the variant using the full wave control. The three-phase AC power supply 80 is the AC network. In the prior art variable speed drives which used a modular multi-level DC / AC converter such as that of FIG. 1, there is also an AC / DC converter between the power supply. 20 three-phase alternative and the modular multi-level DC / AC converter. It was necessary to provide a filter LC current and voltage between the modular DC / AC multilevel converter and AC / DC converter. It was also possible to provide a current smoothing LC filter connected between the three-phase AC power supply and the AC / DC converter, and a LC voltage smoothing filter between the modular multi-level DC / AC converter and the load. In the variable speed drive that uses a modular DC / AC power conversion device of the invention 82, a transformer is not required. If it were used, it would be connected between the 3036237 three-phase AC power supply 80 and the AC / DC converter 81. It is shown in dotted lines because it is optional with reference 84. It is used to adapt the voltage level of the power supply. in the applications of medium-voltage variable speed drives, for example, between 2.3 kV and 5 kV. The transformer is a very often bulky and expensive component. You can do without it thanks to the chain of modules in series, which allows to directly support the voltage level of the three-phase AC power supply.
    [0036] FIG. 9A now illustrates another, nonlimiting example of a modular multi-level AC / AC power conversion device object of the invention. In this example the modular multi-level AC / AC power conversion device is three-phase. It could of course be single phase. This modular multilevel AC / AC power conversion device can be used as a variable speed drive. It comprises a modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21 such as that described in FIG. 2, but no modular multi-level DC / DC converter. Instead of the DC / DC modular multi-level converter, there is an AC / DC converter 90 connected to the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21. This AC / DC converter 90 is intended to be connected on one side to an AC power supply. 80. On the other hand, it is connected to the two terminals 27, 28 continuous defined by the ends of the arms of the modular DC / AC multi-level converter 21. The AC / DC converter 90 can be a AC / DC converter 90 bridge rectifier type controlled switching. It comprises three arms 90.1, 90.2, 90.3 connected in parallel, their ends 91, 92 defining two continuous terminals connected to the continuous terminals 27, 28 of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21. Each arm 90.1, 90.2, 90.3 comprises two elementary switches. 9.11, 9.12, 9.21, 9.22, 9.31, 9.32 semiconductor in series having a common node Al, A2, A3, each of these common nodes Al, A2, 3036237 31 A3 defining an alternative input terminal (or alternating input ) to be connected to the AC power supply 80. In FIG. 9A, the elementary switches 9.11, 9.12, 9.21, 9.22, 9.31, 9.32 have been shown as thyristors, but this is only one example. limiting. It is of course possible to replace them with other types of semiconductor switches that can be controlled. In another embodiment illustrated in FIG. 9B, the AC / DC converter 90 has been replaced by a modular multi-level AC / DC converter having modules 41 similar to that of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 10 shown in FIG. this modular multi-level AC / DC converter then has a plurality of parallel arms 95.1, 95.2, 95.3, the ends of which define continuous terminals 97, 98. These continuous terminals are connected to the continuous terminals 27, 28 of the modular multi-level DC / AC converter 21 and so confused with them. Each arm 95.1, 95.2, 95.3 comprises two chains 96.11, 96.12, 96.21, 96.22, 96.31, 96.32 of series-connected switching modules 41 having a common terminal respectively 93.1, 93.2, 93.3. The connection to these common terminals is via an inductor. These common terminals 93.1, 93.2, 93.3 define alternative terminals to be connected to the AC power supply 80. Each switching module 41 is identical to that shown in FIGS. 2A-D. In FIG. 9B, there is provided a transformer 84 intended to be connected on one side to the AC power supply 80 and connected to the other to the AC input of the AC input converter and DC output 90 of the conversion device. Modular multilevel power. Transformer 84 is optional.
    [0037] In these embodiments the AC / DC converter is used to adjust the signal amplitude achieved by the DC / AC modular multilevel converter. Although several exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail, it is understood that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
