AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Grid-type MMC converters are prone to frequent switching between PLL and PSC control modes during startup and AC grid faults, and are not suitable for strong grids with large short circuits, resulting in unstable power supply.

Method used

The control method of the phase-locked loop-grid type MMC converter station is adopted. By controlling the AC voltage amplitude and active power, the active current reference value is introduced to adjust the frequency deviation, so as to realize the synchronization between the MMC and the AC grid. When the grid frequency changes, the power output is adjusted in time, which has the characteristics of primary frequency regulation.

The phase-locked loop-grid type MMC converter station has achieved stable operation in both strong power grids with large short circuits and weak power grids with small short circuits. It has good steady-state and transient performance, can fault ride-through during power grid faults, and has strong applicability.

Abstract

The application discloses a control method for a phase-locked loop-network type MMC converter station power supply system. The control method adopts a constant AC voltage amplitude and active power, the MMC is kept synchronous with an AC power grid through a phase-locked loop, the q-axis voltage control link adjusts the d-axis current reference value according to the q-axis voltage and the active current reference value, so as to adjust the active power and keep the angular frequency and power angle stable; the d-axis voltage control link adjusts the q-axis current reference value according to the d-axis voltage, so as to adjust the reactive power and keep the PCC voltage stable. The application introduces a frequency deviation to adjust the active current reference value, so that the MMC output active power can respond to the frequency change, and the MMC has a primary frequency modulation characteristic; the phase-locked loop-network type MMC converter station is suitable for both a strong power grid with a relatively large short circuit and a weak power grid with a relatively small short circuit, and can delay the power output when the power instruction value or the power grid frequency changes, so that the application has good steady-state performance and transient performance.
