Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of DC control and protection technology, specifically to a method and system for detecting and protecting high-voltage DC valve triggering anomalies. Background Technology

[0002] Valve triggering is a critical control function of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. Abnormal valve control can lead to malfunctions in the HVDC system, such as valve non-conduction and commutation failure, severely impacting the safe and stable operation of the HVDC system and the power grid. For example, on June 9, 2022, an abnormal pulse triggering occurred in the low-end valve group of pole 1 at the Kunbei UHVDC multi-terminal station. Due to the persistent abnormality, a continuous zero current appeared at the low end of pole 1, causing the transmission power at the low end of pole 1 to drop from 2000MW to 0MW for an extended period. Because the control and protection system failed to detect the DC triggering abnormality and did not promptly lock the faulty valve group, the low-end valve group of pole 1 remained in a zero-power state for an extended period, severely affecting the safe and stable operation of the HVDC system and the power grid. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method and system for detecting and protecting high-voltage DC valve triggering anomalies, thereby improving the risk identification and mitigation capabilities of DC control protection systems against abnormal valve group triggering conditions.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention can adopt the following technical solutions:

[0005] A method for detecting and protecting high-voltage DC valve triggering anomalies, used in a DC control protection system to detect faults in a valve assembly, includes the following steps:

[0006] Receive the first status information, the second status information, the third status information, the fourth status information, and the fifth status information;

[0007] The high-voltage direct current transmission system is switched after continuously satisfying the first state information, the second state information, the third state information, and the fifth state information and delaying for 200ms.

[0008] The first valve group is locked after continuously satisfying the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth state information and after a delay of 350ms.

[0009] The second valve group is locked after the first state information, the second state information, the third state information, and the fifth state information are continuously satisfied and a delay of 500ms is applied.

[0010] The first status information is the operating mode of the high-voltage direct current transmission system; the second status information is the voltage status of the high-voltage alternating current transmission system; the third status information is that the current of the high-voltage direct current transmission system is lower than a set value; the fourth status information is the DC voltage characteristics of the high-voltage direct current transmission system; and the fifth status information is that the angle command is lower than a set value.

[0011] The high-voltage DC valve triggering abnormal detection and protection method described above is further described in the following specific operating mode of the high-voltage DC transmission system: the high-voltage DC transmission system is operating in a hybrid DC mode and is in non-OLT operation mode, and communication is maintained normally.

[0012] In the above-described high-voltage DC valve triggering abnormal detection and protection method, the voltage state of the high-voltage AC transmission system is further defined as follows: the three-phase AC voltage is continuously greater than 0.9 pu and exceeds 1 second.

[0013] In the above-described high-voltage DC valve triggering abnormal detection and protection method, the current of the high-voltage DC transmission system being lower than the set value is specifically: Max(IDLN, IDCN) < 100A.

[0015] In the high-voltage DC valve triggering abnormality detection and protection method described above, the angle command being lower than the set value specifically means: the angle command continuously being lower than 8°.

[0016] A high-voltage DC valve triggering anomaly detection and protection system, installed in a DC control and protection system to handle valve group fault detection, includes: a processor and an actuator.

[0017] The processor is used to receive first status information, second status information, third status information, fourth status information and fifth status information;

[0018] When the first state information, the second state information, the third state information, and the fifth state information are continuously satisfied and a delay of 200ms is applied, the high-voltage direct current transmission system is switched via the actuator.

[0019] When the first state information, the second state information, the third state information, the fourth state information, and the fifth state information are continuously satisfied and a delay of 350ms is applied, the first valve group is locked by the actuator.

[0020] When the first state information, the second state information, the third state information, and the fifth state information are continuously satisfied and a delay of 500ms is applied, the second valve group is locked by the actuator.

[0022] As described above, the high-voltage DC valve triggering abnormal detection and protection system further specifies that the high-voltage DC transmission system operates in a hybrid DC mode and is in non-OLT operation mode, while communication remains normal.

[0023] As described above, the voltage state of the high-voltage AC transmission system is further defined as follows: the three-phase AC voltage is continuously greater than 0.9 pu and exceeds 1 second; the current of the high-voltage DC transmission system is lower than the set value as follows: Max(IDLN, IDCN) < 100A.

[0024] As described above, the DC voltage characteristics of the high-voltage DC transmission system are as follows: for a single valve group, there is no DC voltage condition, which is always met; for a dual valve group, there is a valve group imbalance condition: (voltage difference between this valve group and the other valve group) > 0.1pu = 80kV; the angle command being lower than the set value specifically means that the angle command is continuously lower than 8°.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention can be configured in the rectifier station valve group control CCP host. Under the premise of meeting the operation requirements of the high voltage DC transmission system and without affecting the existing control and protection functions, this invention can reliably lock the valve group when a similar fault occurs on site, while avoiding accidental operation.
