Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of thyristor voltage monitoring, and in particular to a method and system for monitoring the voltage of a thyristor valve section of a converter. Background Art

[0002] Thyristor-based HVDC transmission systems, with their mature technology, low losses, and low costs, offer significant advantages for long-distance, high-capacity power transmission and grid interconnection. Due to my country's uneven energy distribution and wide disparity in economic development, HVDC technology plays a crucial role in the country's "West-to-East Power Transmission and National Networking" strategy. In recent years, numerous HVDC transmission lines have been connected to the grid and put into operation. With the trend of economic development and energy restructuring, the number of DC transmission lines is expected to increase significantly in the future.

[0003] Due to the characteristics of thyristor converters, both the rectifier and inverter undergo commutation during HVDC transmission. Since the inverter's trigger angle α must be greater than 90°, commutation failure is prone to occur during the inverter's commutation process. Therefore, during the actual operation of thyristor converter valves, accurately monitoring the valve section voltage during a power frequency cycle helps improve valve reliability. During actual operation, equipment in the valve tower can be damaged by factors such as overvoltage or overcurrent, causing the valve voltage to deviate from the ideal curve, ultimately reducing valve reliability. Current valve condition monitoring systems detect the establishment of positive and negative thyristor voltages, focusing on providing signals for triggering the thyristors. They lack real-time online monitoring of the valve section voltage, particularly the commutation voltage during the valve's shutdown process. This commutation process can severely impact the efficient and stable operation of the converter valve. The reliability of the converter valve system determines the reliability of the entire HVDC transmission system, which in turn impacts the overall power transmission efficiency.

[0052] Figure 3 This is a periodic waveform diagram of a single valve with the highest conduction priority according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] In order to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0054] Example 1:

[0055] A method for monitoring voltage of a single valve of a converter, a flow chart of the method, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 shown.

[0056] S1: According to the state of the single valve to be tested in the converter, determine the monitoring interval corresponding to the voltage curve of the single valve to be tested within a power frequency cycle.

[0057] HVDC transmission systems utilize grid-commutated technology, with a six-pulse converter composed of semi-controlled thyristors as the basic commutation unit. In this project, the converter operates as a valve tower within a valve hall. During actual operation, each individual valve acts as a unit, and the entire valve is simultaneously in either the on or off state. Failure or maintenance of any individual valve will cause the entire converter to shut down, reducing the reliability of the converter valve.

[0058] Whether it is a rectifier or an inverter, there is a commutation process during the operation of the converter. During the commutation process, the voltage at both ends of the valve will have commutation teeth, and commutation failure may occur during the commutation process. The probability of commutation failure in the inverter is relatively high.

[0059] Determine the state interval of the single valve to be tested in the converter according to the preset electrical angle of the single valve to be tested, wherein the state interval includes an on state interval and an off state interval;

[0060] When the single valve to be tested is in the conduction state interval, this interval is used as a monitoring interval;

[0061] When the single valve to be tested is in the off state interval, the off state interval is optimized according to the working state of the converter;

[0062] The working state of the converter includes a commutation state and a non-commutation state.

[0063] Figure 2 The figure shows a single valve wiring diagram. In actual engineering, the 12-pulse converter unit is also composed of two 6-pulse converter units connected in series. In the figure, the six thyristors V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6 are triggered and turned on in sequence. At any time, at least two single valves are turned on at the same time. During the commutation period, three single valves will be in the on state at the same time. In one power frequency cycle, the electrical angle of the single valve on is 120°+μ, and the electrical angle of the single valve off is 240°-μ, where μ is the commutation angle of the thyristor. Figure 3 The voltage waveform diagram of the single valve 1 within the cycle shown divides the state of the single valve 1 during the off period into 7 different intervals. The off state of the single valve 1 is uniformly divided into interval 8, which is the conduction interval. At this time, the valve section voltage of the single valve to be tested is 0.

[0064] The shutoff interval is optimized by taking the time when two single valves on different lines other than the line where the single valve to be tested is simultaneously in the on state as the start time of the shutoff state interval, and controlling the converter to switch between the two working states;

[0065] The voltage curve corresponding to the time from the start of the shutdown state interval to the moment before the converter switches between the two working states is a monitoring interval; the switching moment of the converter between the two working states is the starting moment of triggering the next monitoring interval, until all single valves in the converter except the single valve to be tested are triggered to turn on and all phase lines in the converter have passed the commutation state.

[0066] Based on the above interval optimization, a total of 7 intervals are obtained: intervals 1-7 are 7 different states during the closing period of single valve 1. Among them, the electrical angle of intervals 1, 3, 5 and 7 is 60°-μ, and the electrical angle of intervals 2, 4 and 6 is the commutation angle μ. The specific single valve that is turned on in each interval and the voltage expression across the valve in this state are analyzed as follows:

[0067] S2: Calculate the valve section voltage of the single valve to be tested in each monitoring interval.

[0068] Interval 8 contains five different combinations of single valve 1 conduction:

[0069] (1) V1, V5 and V6 are turned on, and V5 switches phase to V1;

[0070] (2) V1 and V6 are turned on;

[0071] (3) V1, V2 and V6 are turned on, and V6 switches phase to V2;

[0072] (4) V1 and V2 are turned on;

[0073] (5) V1, V2 and V3 are turned on, and V1 switches phase to V3;

[0074] During the conduction period of a single valve, the voltage across the valve is 0, that is,

[0075] In interval ①: V2 and V3 are conducting, the voltage across the valve

[0076] In interval ②: V2, V3 and V4 are on at the same time, V2 switches to V4, and the voltage across the valve

[0077] In interval ③: V3 and V4 are conducting, the voltage across the valve

[0078] In interval ④: V3, V4 and V5 are on at the same time, V3 switches to V5, and the voltage across the valve

[0079] In interval ⑤: V4 and V5 are conducting, the voltage across the valve

[0080] In interval ⑥: V4, V5 and V6 are on at the same time, V4 switches to V6, and the voltage across the valve

[0081] In interval ⑦: V5 and V6 are turned on, the voltage across the valve

[0082] In actual HVDC transmission projects, a single valve consists of n (the number of valve segments used in different projects varies) valve segments connected in series. Therefore, the voltage borne by each valve segment is 1 / n of the single valve voltage. The thyristor converter valve segment voltage online monitoring system proposed in the present invention can monitor the valve segment voltage in real time and perform segmented monitoring, dividing the valve segment voltage within a power frequency cycle into 8 intervals. It can accurately compare and analyze the real-time monitored voltage value with the ideal threshold in real time, timely monitor converter valve faults, and formulate maintenance plans in a timely manner, reducing the risk of frequent maintenance of HVDC transmission thyristor converter valves.

[0083] The online monitoring system for the valve terminal voltage of the thyristor commutator valve proposed in the present invention can solve the blindness of planned maintenance and the potential fault problem of inaccurate monitoring caused by the voltage and current stresses on the valve section during planned maintenance being lower than the actual operating conditions.

[0084] The thyristor commutator valve segment voltage online monitoring system proposed in the present invention is used to monitor the voltage across the thyristor valve segment in real time, determine whether the valve segment voltage is within the normal operating range, and then determine whether one or more valve segments are in a faulty state, so as to detect the fault in time and replace it, thereby improving the reliability of the commutator valve.

[0085] In this embodiment, the valve section voltage of a single valve in the converter can also be calculated based on the ideal voltage calculation of each phase line in the converter, so that the actual detection value can be compared with the ideal threshold in real time, so that the life of the single valve in the converter can be predicted by comparing the changing trend of the actual value with the ideal value.
