Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of DC power transmission technology, specifically relating to a station-level reactive power control method for a flexible DC power transmission system. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of flexible DC transmission systems towards higher voltage levels, larger transmission capacities, multi-terminal deployments, and network integration, these flexible and reliable systems have broad application prospects. Existing station-level control strategies for flexible DC systems are mostly active-reactive power decoupling control, with a single reactive power control component. Traditional reactive power control methods mainly include constant reactive power control and constant AC voltage control. Specifically:

[0003] When a converter station is connected to an AC system, under normal operating conditions, accurately transmitting active power is generally the highest priority. When voltage fluctuations occur at the AC nodes connected to the converter station, these fluctuations need to be suppressed quickly to prevent disruption to active power transmission. In this situation, using traditional constant reactive power control with a reactive power reference value of 0 is ineffective in suppressing voltage fluctuations and also fails to fully utilize the flexible and independent control characteristics of active and reactive power in flexible DC transmission, thus neglecting the reactive power regulation capabilities of the flexible DC transmission system. While traditional constant AC voltage control can suppress voltage fluctuations, this method suppresses them too frequently, potentially leading to frequent reactive power adjustments. This hinders rapid system voltage recovery and makes it difficult for reactive power compensation equipment near the converter station to coordinate and for the rational allocation of reactive power.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and corresponding drawings.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] This embodiment presents a station-level reactive power control method for a flexible DC transmission system, applicable to scenarios involving voltage fluctuations under normal operating conditions of the flexible DC transmission system. Figures 1-3 As shown, the reactive power control method at this station level mainly includes two stages:

[0036] I. Monitoring Stage: Used to detect and generate voltage and current signals at the converter station's common connection point;

[0037] II. Reactive Power Outer Loop Deviation Generation Stage: Based on the voltage and current signals from the monitoring stage, the corresponding reactive power outer loop deviation is generated as feedback input. This station-level reactive power control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0038] Measured value U of voltage signal at the common coupling point of the converter station s and the measured value of the current signal I s ;

[0039] Reference value I of reactive component of AC current at converter station common coupling point sqref Measured value of current signal I s q-axis component I sq The difference is compared and taken as the reactive current deviation ΔI at the converter station's point of common coupling. sq ΔI sq =I sqref -I sq ;

[0040] Reactive current deviation ΔI at the converter station common coupling point sq The voltage compensation amount ΔU in the AC near-zone of the converter station is obtained after adjusting the gain by a factor of K. ref Voltage compensation ΔU in the AC near-zone of the converter station ref The calculation formula is as follows:

[0041] ΔU ref =K*ΔI sq .

[0042] AC voltage reference value U ref With voltage compensation amount ΔU ref The difference after comparison is used as a reference value for reactive power parameters, and then compared with the measured value of AC voltage U. s By comparison, the reactive power outer loop deviation ΔU and the measured AC voltage U are obtained.s The actual value of the reactive power parameter. The formula for calculating the reactive power outer loop deviation ΔU is as follows:

[0043] ΔU=U ref -ΔU ref -U s .

[0044] Among them, the AC voltage reference value U ref Take the voltage rating U at the converter station's common coupling point set U ref =U set .

[0045] The aforementioned correction coefficient K = 100l, where l is the reactive power compensation participation coefficient of the converter station, and the value of l ranges from (0,1). The value of l depends on the proportion of the reactive power compensation of the converter station to the total reactive power compensation of the AC system connected to the converter station. The higher the proportion of the reactive power compensation of the converter station, the larger the value of l. The total reactive power compensation of the AC system connected to the converter station is the sum of the reactive power compensation of the converter station and the compensation amount of the reactive power compensation equipment in the AC system connected to the converter station.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] This embodiment is a further design based on Embodiment 1. In this example, the station-level active power control of the flexible DC transmission system adopts constant active power control or constant DC voltage control. The specific choice can be made according to the strength of the connected AC system and the scheduling arrangement. Generally, a converter station with a strong connected AC system is selected to adopt constant DC voltage control, while the other end adopts constant active power control.

[0049] Active power control includes the following two specific methods:

[0054] Application Examples:

[0055] This embodiment simulates the station-level reactive power control method of the present invention on a true bipolar flexible DC transmission system. The converter stations of this true bipolar flexible DC transmission system operate independently in positive and negative directions. The positive pole adopts the station-level reactive power control method of the present invention, while the negative pole adopts traditional constant reactive power control. This embodiment establishes a model of the true bipolar DC transmission system and conducts simulation tests. The specific process is as follows:

[0056] Because a true bipolar converter station can achieve stable control of the AC voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) using only one independent converter pole (voltage-controlled pole), both flexible DC transmission systems at both ends employ an active and reactive power decoupling control strategy. Based on the converter mathematical model in a synchronous rotating coordinate system (dq coordinates), a direct current control strategy and a dual closed-loop controller structure are used. In one converter station, active power control at both poles uses constant DC voltage control, and reactive power control uses constant reactive power control, with a reference value set to 0. In the other converter station, active power control at both poles uses constant active power control. In reactive power control, the positive pole uses the station-level reactive power control method of this invention, with the reference value set to the AC node bus voltage, i.e., the PCC voltage setpoint. The negative pole uses constant reactive power control, with the reference value set to 0. The inner-loop controller employs a decoupled control strategy of current feedback and voltage feedforward, converting three-phase AC quantities into two-phase DC quantities in a rotating coordinate system. It features fast current feedback and inherent current limiting capability. The outer-loop controller consists of a steady-state inverse model and a PI regulator, using active or reactive power as the control target to achieve independent regulation of the system's active and reactive power. The block diagram of the active / reactive power decoupling control strategy is shown below. Figure 2 As shown.

[0057] Test Environment: A dual-terminal VSC-MTDC simulation system was built in the PSCAD / EMTDC environment. Converter station 1 and converter station 2 have rated capacities of 2500MW and 4500MW, respectively. For one converter station, two-stage active power control uses constant DC voltage control, and reactive power control uses constant reactive power control, with a reference value set to 0. For the other converter station, two-stage active power control uses constant active power control. In reactive power control, the positive terminal uses the station-level reactive power control method of this invention, with a correction coefficient K of 10 and a reference value set to the AC node bus voltage. The negative terminal uses constant reactive power control with a reference value set to 0. The control strategies for each converter are shown in Table 1. In this example, the reactive power compensation of the converter station accounts for 10% of the total reactive power compensation of the AC system connected to the converter station. Therefore, the reactive power compensation participation coefficient of the converter station is l = 0.1, and the correction coefficient K = 10 in this example.
