Abstract
This invention relates to the field of flexible DC transmission, aiming to provide an offshore wind power flexible DC transmission system and method capable of overcoming AC short-circuit faults. The method includes: when an AC short-circuit fault occurs in the onshore AC grid at the receiving end, calculating the difference between the output power of the sending-end converter station and the output power of the receiving-end converter station to obtain the required surplus power; calculating the number of energy-consuming sub-modules to be deployed based on the surplus power and the resistance value of a single energy-consuming unit in the converter; realizing the consumption of surplus power by controlling the number of energy-consuming units deployed in each bridge arm branch; and controlling the first and second switching units to disconnect all energy-consuming units after the fault is recovered. This invention integrates distributed modular energy-consuming devices within the converter, offering advantages in equipment purchase and maintenance costs and saving land. The energy-consuming sub-modules are bypassed through power electronic devices, thus not affecting the converter's control strategy under normal operating conditions.
