Description

[0001] Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to a method for analytically calculating the parameters of an outer-loop controller for a flexible HVDC system based on a voltage source converter (VSC) connected to a weak AC system, and specifically to a method for calculating the parameters of a fixed AC voltage controller for a flexible DC converter station. Background Art

[0003] Flexible HVDC technology based on a modular multilevel converter (MMC) uses power electronic devices with self-turn-off capabilities, providing a solid foundation for the decoupled control of active and reactive power. Flexible HVDC overcomes the fundamental defect of conventional HVDC that requires an AC power source to provide commutation voltage. Its superior control and operation performance have caused a major transformation in the field of power transmission, providing a better solution for scenarios such as multiple DC drop points at load centers, asynchronous grid interconnection across regions, support for weak AC systems in remote areas, and new energy transmission.

[0004] The control mode of a flexible DC converter station connected to an AC system is closely related to whether there is a synchronous power source and the strength of the AC system. The short circuit ratio (SCR), as an index to measure the strength of the AC system, is defined as the ratio of the short-circuit capacity at the point of common coupling (PCC) to the rated DC power. When SCR≥3, it is considered a strong power grid; when 2≤SCR<3, it is a weak power grid; and when 1<SCR<2, it is an extremely weak power grid. Weak AC systems mainly exhibit the following characteristics: 1) Long transmission lines result in large equivalent line impedances and weak anti-disturbance capabilities; 2) A small number of synchronous generators leads to low moment of inertia, weak AC voltage and frequency support capabilities, and weak power angle stability; 3) There is a strong non-linear coupling relationship between active power and reactive power.

[0005] When a flexible DC converter station is connected to a weak AC system, the control system generally adopts a double closed-loop control mode, where the outer loop uses a fixed AC voltage control to enhance the support for the weak AC system. Although there have been many studies on the stability of a flexible DC converter station connected to a weak AC system and the influence of outer-loop controller parameters on stability, the research on the analytical calculation of outer-loop controller parameters is still very lacking.

[0006] To reduce the time spent by engineering researchers in selecting outer loop controller parameters and improve research efficiency, this invention patent proposes a method for calculating the parameters of a constant AC voltage controller for a flexible DC converter station. For example... Figure 1 The diagram shows a simplified main circuit for connecting a flexible DC converter station to a weak AC system: In the diagram, U g and U s R represents the equivalent power source and the phase voltage amplitude at point PCC, where δ is the phase difference; g and L g For the equivalent resistance of the AC system, C pcc R is the equivalent capacitance at point PCC; t and L t For the equivalent resistance and leakage inductance of the converter transformer; I g I c and I s For AC system, equivalent capacitance and converter station current; P g and Q g It refers to the active and reactive power injected into the PCC point of the AC system; Q c It is the equivalent capacitance C pcc Reactive power injected into the PCC point; P s and Q s It refers to the active and reactive power injected into the converter transformer by the AC system; u dc and i dc These are DC voltage and DC current. For example... Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the control equations for the outer loop constant AC voltage of a flexible DC converter station: In the diagram, u sd and u sq The voltage at point PCC is represented by its d-axis and q-axis components in the synchronous dq rotating coordinate system; the low-pass filter includes, but is not limited to, first-order forms; U * s This is a reference value for the phase voltage amplitude at the PCC point; G uac (s)=k upac +k ipac / s is the AC voltage controller, where k upac and k ipac Here, i represents the proportionality coefficient and the integral coefficient, respectively, and s is the Laplace operator; * sd This is the reference value for the d-axis current.
