INTRODUCTION

The AFE unit is a regenerative power converter for the front-end of a common DC bus product line.
The AFE unit is used with inverter hardware and special software. An external L(CL)-filter and
charging circuit is needed. This unit is selected when low harmonics are required. The connection
of AFE drive has been described in Figure 1.
The Regenerative Application is easy and flexible to use due to its versatile fieldbus features. The
parameters of the Regenerative Application are explained in Chapter 8.
The basic I/O-configuration of the AFE drive consists of OPT-A1 and OPT-A2 option cards. The basic
I/O configuration has been described in Table 5. An option card OPT-B5 can be used if additional
digital outputs are needed. Configuration has been described in Table 6.
By default the control place (P3.1) of the AFE drive is keypad.
This application requires NXP control board 661 or 761.

-No Compatibility issues.
NOTE: When updating the application do not use the NCDrive parameter download function. Instead, upload the parameters from the unit and make a comparison to the old parameter file. The
application is constantly developed, and the parameter default values are changed. If the parameters are directly downloaded to the drive, the improved default values will be lost.

OPERATION

4.1

Main contactor control

The AFE application controls the main contactor of the system with Relay Output RO2. When charging of the DC bus is ready, the main contactor will be closed. The status of the main contactor is
monitored via digital input (Default is DIN4). The digital input used for monitoring is chosen with parameter P2.3.1.4.
NOTE! Main Contactor feedback is required for correct AFE functionality.
Faults can be set to open the main contactor by selecting the response "3=Fault, DC OFF". When a
fault occurs, the drive will open Relay Output RO2 that controls the main contactor after one second
(See wiring details from Vacon NX Active Front End User Manual, Chapter 7. Appendices). Thus the
drive will stop modulating before an open command is given. If the DC is still high enough when a
fault reset is given, the drive will close the Relay Output R02.
An external charging circuit is needed to charge the DC bus.
The AFE start up sequence has been illustrated in Figure 3 and fault handling in Figure 4.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Figure 5.Principle of operation

11296_uk

The active current and reactive currents are calculated from the three input phase current measurements Iu, Iv, Iw as shown in the block diagram. The DC voltage controller is a PI type regulator.
The DC voltage reference sets the value of the DC link voltage to be maintained. It is compared to
the measured DC voltage, and as a result a DC voltage error is obtained. This is used as input for
the DC voltage controller. The response of the controller is adjusted by changing its gain and integral time values. Normally the default values are satisfactory with a standard LCL filter and need
not be changed.
The output of the DC voltage controller is the active current reference, which is compared to the
measured active current. The error between them is then used as input for the active current controller. The output of the active current controller changes the modulation index and controls the
inverter voltage.
The reactive current reference can be used for reactive power compensation. The positive reactive
current reference indicates inductive power compensation, and the negative reactive current reference indicates capacitive reactive power compensation. The default value of the reactive current
reference parameter is zero. The set value of the reactive current reference is compared to its measured value and the error is fed to the PI type regulator. It is also referred in the interface as "synchronising controller" because its job is to keep the inverter synchronised with the line supply.
Frequency reference to AFE is obtained by derivation of reactive current controller output.

RATED LINE VOLTAGE [# V] ID1201

This parameter sets the incoming line voltage for the regenerative drive. The maximum value is 690
V. Set this parameter to the nominal line voltage at the installation site.
P2.1.2

RATED LINE CURRENT [A] ID113

Rated current capacity of the supply or the transformer. May need to be set if AFE is oversized compared to LCL or feeding transformer capacity. For testing purposes, the feeding transformer should
not be less than 20% of the unit nominal current or following breakers or fuses.

Reference Handling

P2.2.1

DC VOLTAGE REFERENCE [#,## %] ID1462

This parameter sets the DC Voltage reference in percentage of Nominal DC voltage (Nominal DC
voltage = 1.35 * Supply voltage). The DC Voltage will be maintained at this level when the regenerative unit is running. For 500V units the maximum limit is 130% and for 690V units the maximum
limit is 115%. The default value is 110%.
NOTE! DC-link voltage should not exceed the following values:

800V for 500V unit

1100V for 690V unit

DC DROOP ID620

When AFEs are used in parallel in independent mode, drooping can be used for current balancing.
The DCV voltage reference drooping is set as percentage of active current reference.
E.g. if drooping is 3.00% and the active current is 50% then the DC voltage reference is reduced by
1.5%. With drooping, the paralleled units can be balanced by adjusting the DCVoltReference to
slightly different values.
P2.2.3

REACTIVE CURRENT

REFERENCE SOURCE SELECTION

ID1384

This parameter defines which source the Reactive current reference is taken from. If Panel is chosen then the reactive current reference is taken from parameter P2.4.11.
0 = Panel
1 = Analog Input 1
2 = Analog Input 2
If reference value is taken from either of the analog inputs, it is recommended to use bipolar analog
input (-10V10V, selected with a jumper).

This parameter sets the reference for the reactive current in percentage of the rated current. This
can be used for power factor correction of AFE system or reactive power compensation.
A positive value makes inductive power to the grid
A negative value makes capacitive power to the grid.
Reactive current reference is taken from this parameter if panel has been chosen to be the source
for Reactive current reference (P2.2.3 = 0).

Power Limits
POWER LIMIT GENERATOR SIDE ID1290

This parameter sets the power limit for the generator side operation of the regenerative unit.
100.0% is equal to nominal power. The Generator Side operation means that the power flows from
DC side to AC side. Setting a too low value may lead to overvoltage fault. In some cases, the power
can not be fed to the ship grid and AFE is used for purely low harmonic requirements. In these cases, the BCU may be needed to consume the excess energy.
P2.5.2.2

POWER LIMIT MOTORING SIDE ID1289

This parameter sets the power limit for the motor side operation of the regenerative unit. 100.0% is
equal to nominal power. Motoring Side operation means that the power flows from AC side to DC

The switching frequency of the IGBT bridge in kHz. Changing the default value may impact on the
LCL filter operation.
P2.6.2

REGEN OPTIONS 1 ID1463

This packed bit word is made for enabling/disabling different control options for regeneration control:
B0 = Disable DCV reduction with reactive reference generation with high line voltage.
B1 = Disable LCL reactive power compensation.
B5 = Disable all harmonic elimination compensation
This is active by default. When activated, this function will reduce a little the 5th and 7th harmonics.
This will not reduce harmonics of the grid, only drives own harmonics.
B8 = Enable double pulse synchronization
This option will generate two synchronization pulses instead of one. This may help synchronization
on a weak grid.
B9 = Enable soft synchronization (>= FI9)
This function enables zero crossing detection on FI9 and bigger units. When it is active and there is
a connection to grid while drive is in stop state, the Supply Frequency is updated by detected frequency.
B12 = Enable floating DC reference. DC-link voltage will follow line voltage.
While run state drive can detect the Supply Voltage, if supply voltage changes, also the internal DC
Reference is changed so that the DC Voltage is:
DC Voltage= Measured Supply Voltage*1.35*DC Reference
B13 = Enable use of D7 board for start synchronization.
When OPT-D7 board is installed this bit will activate synchronization by using voltage angle and frequency information from D7 board. Note that the phase order needs to be the same both in OPT-D7
and input phases. It is also recommended to keep frequency on positive side. Note that the frequency of the D7 board can be the same as the Supply Frequency but the phase order can still be wrong.
P2.6.3

START UP DELAY ID1500

This parameter defines a starting delay when the run command is given. When programming different delays to the paralleled units, the units will start in sequence. This is needed in parallel units
so that synchronization does not happen simultaneously with all drives. Simultaneous starting may
lead to failed synchronization. The recommended value between the drives is 500 ms.

ID1516

This parameter is for changing the modulator type. With the ASIC (HW) modulator the current distortion is lower, but losses are higher compared to a software modulator. It is recommended to use
a software modulator.
0 = Hardware modulator: ASIC modulator with classic third harmonic injection. Spectrum is slightly better compared to Software 1 modulator.
1 = Software modulator 1: Symmetric vector modulator with symmetrical zero vectors. Current
distortion is less than with software modulator 2 if boosting is used.
2 = Software modulator 2: Symmetric BusClamb in which one switch always conducts 60 degrees
either to negative or positive DC-rail. Switching losses are reduced without different heating of upper and lower switches. Spectrum is narrow. Not recommended for parallel units.
3 = Software modulator 3: Unsymmetric BusClamb in which one switch always conducts 120 degrees to negative DC-rail to reduce switching losses. Drawback is that upper and lower switches
are unevenly loaded and spectrum is wide. Not recommended for parallel units.
4 = Software modulator 4: Pure sine wave, sinusoidal modulator without harmonic injection. Dedicated to be used in back-to-back test benches etc. to avoid circulating third harmonic current.
Drawback is that required DC voltage is 15% higher compared to other modulator types.
