Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power electronics, and in particular to a hybrid converter topology structure with auxiliary commutation on a DC side and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The traditional line commutated converter high voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC) transmission system has the advantages of long-distance large-capacity transmission and controllable active power, and is widely used around the world. However, since the thyristors used in its converter need to rely on the AC system to provide commutation voltage, commutation failure is prone to occur in the event of AC system failure, resulting in a surge in DC current and a rapid and large loss of DC transmission power. In addition, in recent years, some regional power grids have multiple DC feeds. Once a commutation failure occurs in a DC line, it may cause a chain commutation failure of multiple DC lines through AC system coupling, bringing more severe challenges to the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

[0003] In view of the problem of commutation failure in traditional DC transmission, many scholars have done a lot of research and invented a variety of converter topologies with the function of resisting commutation failure. For example, one is the capacitor commutation converter topology (CCC), which increases the valve commutation voltage time area through the capacitor voltage to ensure its reliable shutdown; based on the basic principle of the capacitor commutation circuit, a variety of topologies have evolved, and the controllable capacitor module is formed by combining power electronic switches and capacitors to realize the controllable capacitor input and voltage direction; but the above-mentioned topology based on capacitor commutation is difficult to implement. Another is to form a hybrid converter by connecting the turn-off device and the thyristor in series, so that each bridge arm of the converter has the ability to be turned off, avoiding the occurrence of commutation failure; due to the large transmission capacity of conventional DC transmission, each bridge arm of the converter is subjected to high voltage and high current. In this topology, the turn-off valve must be realized by multi-stage series-parallel connection. At the same time, the turn-off valve can withstand high current for a long time and withstand high voltage stress when the high current is turned off, which requires more series connection. Therefore, the cost and difficulty of engineering implementation of this technical solution are both high. In addition, the prior art also uses a turn-off device to forcibly turn off the current to achieve current transfer. However, this commutation technology increases operating losses due to the long-term conduction of current by the turn-off device, and requires the installation of cooling equipment, making the cost of implementing this technical solution relatively high.
