Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of direct current transmission energy transfer, and in particular to an energy control circuit and a control method. Background Art

[0002] DC transmission lines can efficiently and conveniently transmit large amounts of electricity from energy bases to load centers. The structural diagram of DC transmission lines is shown in the figure below. Figure 2 As shown, for an operating DC transmission project, the power consumed by the receiving end is balanced with the power generated by the sending end, and the voltage and operating frequency of the sending-end grid remain constant. When a disturbance or fault occurs in the receiving-end power system and makes it unable to absorb the power sent by the sending end, the voltage and frequency of the sending-end grid will be disturbed. This disturbance can be reduced by quickly adjusting the generator output. If the sending-end power source is a thermal or hydroelectric generator, the generator output can be adjusted, but the adjustment process requires a certain delay and cannot achieve an instant response, so the voltage and frequency of the grid will still be disturbed. If the sending-end power source is a wind turbine, due to the uncontrollable natural wind force, the wind turbine output cannot be adjusted according to operational needs, resulting in severe disturbances in the voltage and frequency of the sending-end grid. In severe cases, the generator set may rupture, causing serious grid accidents.

[0003] The development of ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission technology has increased the transmission capacity of direct current to 8,000-12,000 MW. Consequently, the installed capacity of traditional thermal and hydropower generators in the sending grid has increased, making rapid regulation of generator output increasingly difficult. Bundling wind, solar, hydro, and thermal power for external transmission has exacerbated this difficulty. The development of flexible direct current (VFD) transmission technology has led to an increasing scale of wind power grid connection, increasing the risk of wind turbine failure caused by power mismatch between the sending and receiving ends due to grid faults in the receiving grid.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems and improve the operational reliability of DC transmission, it is necessary to design an energy control circuit to maintain the power balance between the sending and receiving ends of the entire DC transmission system.

[0005] There are currently three types of energy control circuits. Among them, circuit 1 uses a switch and a resistor in series, such as Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1, the switch is a valve composed of power electronic devices connected in series. The on-off control of the valve is achieved by pulse width modulation (PWM) to adjust the power consumption of the resistor. This circuit has the characteristics of simple structure and easy control. However, when the DC voltage rises to a certain level, the increase in the number of power electronic devices will make it difficult to balance the voltage of the devices. Due to the use of pulse width modulation, the consistency of the operation of all power electronic devices cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, this control circuit is suitable for low voltage fields. Circuit 2 is modularized based on circuit 1. Figure 4As shown in Figure 1, the control method is to disperse switches and resistors within each module. The module voltage is balanced by the module capacitors, and the power consumption of the circuit is controlled by controlling the number of module switches that are turned on. This circuit has the advantages of simple control and is not limited by DC voltage. However, its disadvantage is that the energy-consuming resistors are placed within the module, which increases the module size and the valve hall area, and places high demands on the cooling system. Compared with Circuit 1, Circuit 3 improves on Circuit 1 in that the switch valves use modular multilevel converter (MMC) modules in series, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 5 As shown, the modular multilevel converter module can adopt a full-bridge or half-bridge structure. Its control method can achieve module voltage equalization by charging and discharging the capacitors of the modular multilevel converter module. When the control circuit is in operation, the modular multilevel converter modules do not need to be switched on and off simultaneously. Therefore, the circuit is not limited by DC voltage and can be applied to high-voltage projects. However, the control method of this circuit has the disadvantages of complex control mode and high equipment cost. Summary of the Invention

[0212] Let duty = 0.7, the number of submodules required is N on =128×(1-0.7)=38.4, take the integer value 38; the duration T of the 38 sub-modules arr =0.005×38 / 128=0.0015s, after 0.0015s, it switches to the next 38 sub-modules, and so on; the main resistance R m Power P Rm =P N ×0.7 2 =220.5MW, the total power consumed by the submodule resistors P Ra_T =P N × 0.7 × (1-0.7) = 94.5MW, the power consumed by each submodule resistor P Ra =P Ra_T / 128=0.7383MW.
