Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power system energy storage, and in particular to a grid-forming SVG device startup topology structure and a two-stage startup method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of renewable energy power generation technology, large-scale wind power, photovoltaic and other renewable energy sources have been connected to the power grid, gradually replacing traditional synchronous generators. This change has brought a series of challenges, especially in terms of frequency and voltage regulation of power systems. Compared with traditional synchronous generators, renewable energy power generation is usually connected to the grid through power electronic converters, but new energy equipment lacks the necessary system inertia and dynamic response capabilities, resulting in the continuous weakening of the inertia and damping characteristics of the entire power system. This change makes the power grid face short-term power fluctuations. The frequency changes faster and the regulation becomes more difficult. At the same time, the short-circuit ratio of the power grid is reduced, further limiting the absorption capacity of new energy and the transmission efficiency of key transmission channels.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems and enhance the active support capability of new energy to the power grid, the introduction of grid-type energy storage devices has become the focus of industry attention. Such grid-type energy storage devices can effectively supplement the inertia and damping of the power system and enhance the stability and transmission capacity of the system. Supercapacitors, as a type of energy storage element, have shown good performance in high-power applications due to their high power density, fast charging and discharging speed, high efficiency and low maintenance cost. In particular, supercapacitor energy storage devices also have adjustment functions such as reactive power rapid support, inertia provision, damping enhancement and primary frequency modulation, which are of great significance for improving the dynamic characteristics of the power system.

[0004] However, in practical applications, how to achieve reliable startup in a meshed SVG device containing supercapacitors has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. As an important reactive compensation device in the power system, the stability and reliability of the startup process of the SVG device (static VAR generator) are directly related to the safe operation of the entire system. Traditional startup methods often ignore the characteristics of supercapacitors, which may lead to current shocks, voltage fluctuations and other problems during the startup process, affecting the performance and life of the SVG device.

[0045] like Figure 2As shown, the half-bridge submodule SM includes a first switch module S1, a second switch module S2, a first DC capacitor C1, a bypass switch KM and a turning thyristor T1; the first switch module S1 and the second switch module S2 are connected in series and then connected in parallel with the first DC capacitor C1; the bypass switch KM, the turning thyristor T1 and the second switch module S2 are connected in parallel, wherein the first switch module S1 includes a first switch tube IGBT1 and a first diode VD1 anti-parallel to the first switch tube IGBT1; the second switch module S2 includes a second switch tube IGBT2 and a second diode VD2 anti-parallel to the second switch tube IGBT2; in this embodiment, the first current limiting reactor is used to reduce the DC current fluctuation generated by the supercapacitor during the switching process, and the startup circuit realizes the orderly unlocking of the half-bridge submodule during the startup process of the startup topology structure of the meshed SVG device, and controls the voltage on the MMC converter valve circuit side to be 0, thereby ensuring that the startup topology structure of the meshed SVG device can be started safely and stably.

[0046] In this embodiment, the supercapacitor circuit includes multiple supercapacitor branches, each supercapacitor branch includes a second current limiting inductor and multiple supercapacitor submodules CM connected in series, the supercapacitor submodules are used for energy storage and discharge, and this embodiment provides reactive power support and voltage regulation functions required by the power grid by storing and quickly releasing energy through the supercapacitor submodules.

[0049] The embodiment of the present invention provides a grid-type SVG device startup topology structure, which includes a main circuit breaker, a startup circuit and a supercapacitor-based energy storage type static reactive power generator; the startup circuit includes a startup resistor, a startup isolating switch, a first DC side switch and a second DC side switch; the supercapacitor-based energy storage type static reactive power generator includes a modular multi-level converter valve circuit and a supercapacitor circuit connected in parallel; the modular multi-level converter valve circuit includes a plurality of modular multi-level converter valve branches connected in parallel, each of the multi-level converter valve branches includes an upper bridge arm and a lower bridge arm connected in series, and the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm each include a plurality of half-bridge sub-modules connected in series; the modular multi-level converter valve circuit is used to control energy conversion between an AC system and a DC system, and adjust the grid voltage by controlling the switching state of the half-bridge sub-module; the supercapacitor circuit includes a plurality of supercapacitor branches, each of which includes a plurality of supercapacitor sub-modules connected in series; the supercapacitor sub-module is used to store and discharge energy. Compared with the prior art, the grid-type SVG device startup topology structure adopted in this embodiment can realize smooth startup and efficient charging of the grid-type SVG device based on supercapacitors through a modular multi-level converter valve circuit and a supercapacitor circuit, combined with a two-stage startup method, effectively suppress current fluctuations during startup, reduce power impact on the power grid, improve the instantaneous frequency and voltage support capabilities of the system, and provide the power grid with more stable and efficient dynamic adjustment capabilities.

[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a two-stage startup method for a meshed SVG device startup topology structure, and the meshed SVG device startup topology structure described above is applied. The two-stage startup method includes the following steps:

[0051] S1. In response to the start signal, the main circuit breaker is closed to enable the grid-type SVG device to start the topology structure and establish a connection with the external power system;

[0052] S2. Control the bypass paths of all half-bridge submodules in the modular multi-level converter valve circuit to be in a non-blocking state, and connect the starting resistor to the starting loop;

[0053] S3. Charging the half-bridge submodule in the modular multi-level converter valve circuit through the AC system, entering the modular multi-level converter valve circuit charging phase;

[0054] S4. Control the start-up isolation switch of the start-up circuit to close, so as to start the active charging strategy to orderly unlock the half-bridge sub-module, and during the unlocking process, control the voltage on the modular multi-level converter valve circuit side to zero;

[0055] S5. Close the first DC side switch and the second DC side switch, charge the supercapacitor branch through the modular multi-level converter valve circuit, and raise the DC voltage to the rated voltage, entering the supercapacitor charging stage;

[0056] S6. After the DC voltage reaches the rated voltage, unlock the supercapacitor branch and charge the supercapacitor branch with constant power current limiting until the supercapacitor branch is fully charged, and switch the AC system from the charging mode to the network control operation mode.

[0057] Specifically, Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the main circuit breaker QF1 is closed to establish a connection between the starting topology of the meshed SVG device and the external power supply system, and the starting resistor is connected to the starting circuit to suppress the overcurrent phenomenon during the starting process. At the same time, the bypass switch KM of the half-bridge submodule is closed to make the bypass path of all the half-bridge submodules in the modular multi-level converter valve circuit in a non-blocking state, that is, the bypass paths of all the half-bridge submodules are opened to allow current to flow, and ensure that the supercapacitor branch (that is, the circuit path where the supercapacitor is located) is in a locked state to prevent the current from suddenly flowing into the supercapacitor before charging starts. Then, the AC system (or AC power supply) charges the first DC capacitor of the half-bridge submodule in the MMC converter valve circuit through the starting circuit to establish an initial voltage in the MMC converter valve circuit to avoid excessive current shock in the subsequent charging process. Then, the starting isolation switch QS1 of the starting circuit is closed to start the active charging stage. The half-bridge submodules in the MMC converter valve are unlocked in an orderly manner using an active charging strategy to ensure voltage stability. During the unlocking process, the voltage on the MMC converter valve side is controlled to be maintained at 0. V to prevent excessive voltage fluctuations during the unlocking process. At this point, the first startup stage is completed. In the startup topology of the grid-forming SVG device, the DC side switches QS2 and QS3 are used to control the on-off of the DC side circuit. In this embodiment, the first DC side switch QS2 and the second DC side switch QS3 are closed to charge the supercapacitor branch through the MMC converter valve circuit. As the charging progresses, the DC voltage gradually rises to the rated voltage and enters the supercapacitor charging stage. When the DC voltage reaches the rated value, the supercapacitor branch is unlocked. In this embodiment, constant power current limiting charging of the supercapacitor SC is started to ensure that the supercapacitor is not affected by overcurrent during the charging process and the charging efficiency is guaranteed. When the supercapacitor is fully charged, the startup topology of the grid-forming SVG device completes the startup process and converts the system from the charging mode to the grid-forming control operation mode. In the grid-forming control operation mode, the supercapacitor energy storage system will participate in the dynamic regulation of the power grid, provide reactive power support, frequency regulation, voltage support and other functions, so as to improve the stability and reliability of the power grid and provide the power grid with a more stable and efficient dynamic regulation capability.

[0058] It should be noted that unlocking refers to making the path of the circuit conductive through a control mechanism such as a relay or a switch, that is, allowing current to pass, so that the supercapacitor branch (composed of multiple supercapacitor submodules CM connected in series) changes from an initial locked or isolated state to an operable state. Once the supercapacitor branch is unlocked, the supercapacitor is actively charged. During the charging process, the voltage of each supercapacitor submodule is monitored, and charging is continued until the voltage of all supercapacitor submodules reaches the rated voltage. When the voltage of all supercapacitor submodules reaches the rated voltage, the system will switch from the charging mode to the network control operation mode. In summary, the two-stage startup method adopted in this embodiment realizes the safe and efficient startup of the SVG device by first charging and orderly unlocking the half-bridge submodule SM (first stage), and then charging the supercapacitor (second stage). This method can start smoothly and gradually transition to a fully functional operation state, while effectively avoiding the overvoltage problem during the startup process, reducing the impact on the power grid, and improving the stability and reliability of the SVG device.

[0059] It should be noted that the size of the serial numbers of the above-mentioned processes does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
