The invention relates to the technical field of power systems, in particular to an MMC sub-module synchronous pre-charging method based on
power balance. Charging power is obtained by designing closed-
loop control of sub-module capacitors on the basis of a
power balance principle, then total power released by an
alternating current side or a
direct current side is calculated through power conservation and charging current
feedback control, synchronous charging of
capacitor voltages of upper and lower bridge arm sub-modules is completed,
power difference is introduced, and synchronous charging of the
capacitor voltages of the upper and lower bridge arm sub-modules is completed. And
voltage sharing of the sub-modules in the bridge arms and
voltage sharing between the bridge arms are realized. The method can be applied to alternating-current side and direct-current side charging, and due to the fact that synchronous charging of the upper bridge arm sub-module and the lower bridge arm sub-module is achieved, the pre-charging speed is remarkably increased. In addition, the same
voltage and current double-closed-
loop control is adopted in the pre-charging state and the
normal state of the MMC, so that the starting time can be obviously shortened. According to the invention, a novel control strategy is provided for the pre-charging of the MMC sub-module, and the method has certain significance in reducing the speed increase of fault restart and normal start in high-voltage direct-current
power transmission.
