The invention provides an AC-side
brake device and
brake method of an AC-DC-AC traction
transmission system. The AC-side
brake device of the AC-DC-AC traction
transmission system comprises a thyristorphase control
rectifier, an
inductor, a
resistor, a
DC voltage detection unit, a motor current detection unit and a controller. The method comprises the steps of connecting the
thyristor phase control rectifier to a three-phase output end of an inversion module, and connecting the
inductor and the
resistor which are connected in series to an output end of the
thyristor phase control rectifier; and sending a DC-side
voltage and a motor current which are obtained by sampling to the controller, respectively outputting a pulse
signal and a
phase control angle
signal to the inversion module and the
thyristor phase control rectifier by the controller through a
control algorithm, and controlling a three-phase
AC motor to run by the inversion module. By the device and the method, a four-quadrantrectifier is not needed, breaking can be achieved at an AC side, and the
AC motor is in a controllable brake state; and when the device is applied to a cascaded H-bridge traction
transmission system,a brake unit is unnecessary to be additionally arranged at each H-bridge
power unit, only the brake unit comprising the thyristor phase control rectifier, the
inductor and the
resistor is needed to beadditionally arranged at an input end of the motor, and
energy consumption braking is simple and practical.
