Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of power generation, power transformation or power distribution, in particular to a flexible loop closing topology device applied to a low-voltage power distribution network and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the transformation of global energy structure, the power system is facing great changes, and more and more distributed power generation units and energy storage devices are equipped in the power system. The structure of the power distribution network system becomes more and more complex, and problems such as voltage crossing, complex power flow, high peak demand, and large feeder voltage drop cause the reduction of power supply reliability and power quality. In order to solve this problem, mechanical switches can be installed between different nodes of the power distribution network to adjust the power flow between the nodes. However, the traditional mechanical switch will produce a large impact current in the moment of closing and opening operation, and cannot flexibly adjust the power flow between different nodes according to the actual working state of the power distribution network, so it is increasingly difficult to meet the intelligent demand of the power distribution network.

[0003] As a flexible power electronic device to replace the traditional mechanical switch, the flexible loop closing device not only can realize and replace the basic functions of the traditional mechanical switch, but also will not produce a large impact current in the loop closing moment, and has auxiliary functions such as continuous power flow adjustment, load balancing, error isolation and fault recovery. Therefore, the flexible loop closing device has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of power distribution network in recent years.

[0004] In the topology of the flexible loop closing device of the low-voltage power distribution network, the Back To Back Voltage Source Converter (BTB-VSC) is currently mostly used. The traditional BTB-VSC topology adopts two converters VSC1 and VSC2 connected back to back through a common DC capacitor, and two switch tubes in series are used on the same side of each phase bridge arm to bear higher voltage stress. This topology has simple control and mature theory, but has the following disadvantages: special control technology is needed to ensure that the switch tubes in series on the same side are turned on and turned off at the same time; the voltage stress borne by the switch tubes is still large, and switch tubes with high voltage resistance value are needed; the number of switch tubes through which the current flows is large, thereby reducing the power transmission efficiency; therefore, the present application provides a flexible loop closing topology device applied to a low-voltage power distribution network and a control method thereof.

[0010] Further, the non-common module transmits active power to the distribution network node on the other side, and the direct-current side of the common module does not have a load, so only reactive power flows.

[0011] Further, a control method of the flexible loop topology device applied to the low-voltage distribution network, the method comprises:

[0012] The first power grid side bridge arm of the non-common module adopts a voltage-current double closed loop control strategy, the whole control is based on a dq rotating coordinate system, the voltage outer ring controls the stability of the direct-current voltage of the non-common module, the current inner ring controls the sinusoidalization of the first power grid side current, and the generated modulation wave is subtracted from the modulation wave of the common module to serve as the modulation wave of the first grid side bridge arm;

The generated modulation wave is subtracted from the modulation wave of the common module to serve as the modulation wave of the second grid side bridge arm;

[0014] The multiplex bridge arm of the non-shared module adopts open-loop control, the modulation amplitude value of the multiplex bridge arm takes the average of the modulation amplitude values of the two grid-side bridge arms, and the phase takes the negative direction of the bisector of the grid voltage vector angle;

[0015] The shared module adopts single voltage loop control.

[0016] The PS-PWM modulation strategy is adopted between the non-shared module and the shared module.

[0017] The present application has the following advantages:
