Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of MMC admittance correction technology, and relates to a method and system for full-band four-quadrant admittance correction of modular multilevel converters. Background Technology
[0002] A Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is composed of multiple cascaded sub-modules (SMs) with identical structures. The sub-modules can be classified into three types: half-H-bridge, full-H-bridge, and double-clamped. MMCs have extremely important engineering application prospects and are fundamental equipment for building DC distribution networks.
[0003] With the development of new power distribution systems, a power distribution topology with high integration of new energy sources and a high proportion of power electronics is an important characteristic of future urban power distribution systems. While MMC (Multi-Converter Modulator) is used in traditional AC generator projects, offering fast response, flexible control, and rich functionality, its digital control method leads to nonlinear impedance characteristics in multiple converters, which can cause broadband oscillations during network operation.
[0004] Many scholars have conducted research on improving the MMC control process to enhance MMC stability and have proposed numerous methods for feedback control of various electrical quantities of the MMC. However, due to the insufficient understanding of the resonance mechanism of the MMC grid-connected system, these methods generally take the zero-pole distribution of the grid-connected system and the Nyquist stability criterion as control targets, and are aimed at some combination of characteristics of the power grid and the MMC. The conclusions or parameters obtained are not universally applicable. Summary of the Invention

It performs full-band four-quadrant AC admittance correction for MMCs used in distribution networks. Through current inner-loop control and admittance correction criteria, it achieves full-band positive damping characteristics of the MMC. This method can serve as the basis for grid-connected operation of multiple AC converters and support multi-terminal grid operation in all scenarios.

[0025] Preferably, in step 3, 1) let Z in the virtual impedance network v =R v +L v s, Y v =G v +C v If s, then by applying the voltage e and output current i of the MMC two-port network to the virtual impedance network, we can obtain i v =i+e·Y v e v =i·Z v +e·Z v ·Y v +e;

The embodiments described in this application are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the spirit of this invention, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this invention.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a full-band four-quadrant admittance correction method for modular multilevel converters. In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the following steps 1-3:
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a full-band four-quadrant admittance correction method for modular multilevel converters. In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the following steps 1-3:
[0055] Step 1: Model the inner loop control process of the modular multilevel converter (MMC) to obtain the equivalent admittance-frequency characteristic relationship of the MMC;
[0056] More preferably, the MMC employs a deadbeat current inner loop control method, such as... Figure 2 As shown, i r The command current is obtained from the outer loop control, e is the PCC point voltage, i is the grid-connected current, L is the MMC connection inductance, and T is the grid connection current. S To control the cycle.
[0057] In the open-loop path, D is the inner-loop transfer function, representing the gain of the current loop control, and G is the system model, representing the current generation process connected to the reactor. sam G represents the sampling process. delay This represents the delay process of the control cycle, and the delay time of the control cycle is: G delay =e -s·Ts The sampling time for the sampling process is:
[0058]
[0059] Where s is the Laplace operator;
[0060] The meanings of the outer loop, inner loop, open loop, and current loop mentioned above are briefly explained below:
[0061] Outer loop: the process of obtaining the command current; inner loop: the process of realizing the command current; open loop: an automatic control term; current loop: current-based inner loop control.
[0062] Will Figure 2 It can be simplified to Figure 3 Therefore, we can obtain i = G r0 ·i r +Y0·e=i inv +Y0·e
[0063] Among them, G r0 =G i0 G D0 G L0 / (1+G i0 G D0 G L0 G H0 ), where i is the command current. r The transfer function (hereinafter referred to as the current transfer function), Y0=(G e0 G D0 -1)G L0 / (1+G i0 G D0 G L0 G H0 ), which is the transfer function of the voltage e at the connection point (hereinafter referred to as the voltage transfer function).
[0064] In the formula G i0 G D0 G L0 G H0 G e0 Represent Figure 3 Transfer functions for each component in the block diagram.
[0065]
[0066] G D0 =e -sTs
[0067]
[0068] G H0 =e -0.5sTs
[0069] G e0 =e -0.5sTs
[0070] k dead This is the current control coefficient.
[0071] Therefore, the MMC output current i is generated by the shunting of the MMC equivalent current source across the MMC impedance and the power system impedance, and by the current generated by the power system voltage acting on the series circuit of the MMC impedance and the power system impedance. The transfer functions of the two control processes are G and G, respectively. r0 And Y0. Therefore, MMC can be further equivalently represented as a two-port network, such as Figure 4As shown, grid-connected MMC can be equivalent to current source i inv (G r0 ·i r The Norton equivalent form, which is connected in parallel with the equivalent admittance Y0=G+jB=1 / Z0, transforms the control process of the grid-connected MMC into a circuit problem.
[0072] Substituting s = jω = j2πf into Y0, we can obtain the real part G and the imaginary part B of the admittance at frequency f. Then, at frequency f, the MMC equivalent admittance can be expressed as Y0 = G + jB.
[0073] Let s = jω, ω = 2πf, and substitute i = G. r0 ·i r +Y0·e=i inv +Y0·e=i inv +(G+jB)·e yields the numerical model of the equivalent admittance, which in turn yields the accurate equivalent admittance-frequency characteristic curve of the MMC, where ω and f are the angular frequency and frequency, respectively, and the voltage and output current of the MMC equivalent two-port network are e and i, respectively, which are the voltage and current at the MMC grid connection point.
[0074] Where s is the Laplace operator, and ω and f are the angular frequency and frequency, respectively.
[0075] The frequency f ranges across the entire frequency band, from the fundamental frequency to the Nyquist frequency.
[0076] Step 2: Establish a full-band admittance correction criterion for stable operation of the power grid system after MMC grid connection;
[0077] The negative damping characteristic of the MMC is the fundamental reason why grid-connected MMC systems are prone to resonance. Considering the parallel network case, since the total susceptance of the grid-connected system is negative, its self-excited oscillation frequency depends on the zero-crossing point of the total susceptance curve. Parallel inductive and capacitive loads and other inverters in the power system can shift the total susceptance curve left and right. When the total admittance characteristic of the system meets the grid resonance condition, parallel resonance will occur. If it is required that the MMC does not self-excited oscillation after being connected to the grid, the MMC's accurate equivalent admittance-frequency characteristic should be consistently positive across the entire frequency band.
[0078] Therefore, taking admittance characteristics as an example, in order to avoid grid-connected system resonance to the greatest extent, the equivalent admittance-frequency characteristics of grid-connected MMC operating in grid-connected systems should meet the following criteria:
[0079] MMC does not exhibit negative damping characteristics across the entire frequency band, meaning the MMC conductance is positive across the entire frequency band, i.e., i.e., i.e. inv In +(G+jB)·e, G takes a positive value across the entire frequency band. If the susceptance curve is approximately zero at the same time, the MMC equivalent impedance has a purely resistive characteristic, which is the most ideal MMC admittance characteristic.
[0080] Step 3: Using a virtual damping correction method, based on the equivalent admittance-frequency characteristic relationship, and with the full-band admittance correction criterion as the target, perform full-band four-quadrant equivalent admittance correction on the MMC.
[0081] This invention studies a virtual damping correction method for MMC. By introducing the sampling of the grid connection point voltage e and current i of MMC, the equivalent impedance of MMC is corrected. Without adding new sampling channels or hardware, the impedance characteristics of MMC are corrected and the damping of MMC is made positive.
[0082] The damping correction algorithm proposed in this invention is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, e and i represent the voltage and output current of the MMC equivalent two-port network, which are the actual electrical quantities of the system. v i v To adjust the two-port voltage and output current of the MMC inner loop control after adding damping correction, Z v For series damping correction, Y v For parallel admittance correction, its expression is shown in the following formula:
[0083] Z v =R v +L v s
[0084] Y v =G v +C v s
[0085] Among them, R v L is the series resistance correction factor. v G is the series reactance correction factor. v C is the parallel conductance correction factor. v This is the parallel susceptance correction factor;
[0086] Z v Y v This is the setting value used for admittance correction.
[0087] As can be seen, the virtual damping correction method proposed in this invention is essentially feedback control of the voltage and current sampling at the MMC grid connection point. However, this invention gives the feedback control a certain physical meaning, namely, it assumes that there is a virtual series impedance Z between the physical connection point of the MMC and the power grid. v and virtual parallel admittance Y v The output current of the MMC controller flows into the power grid through the virtual impedance network, and the system voltage is also applied to the MMC controller through the virtual impedance network. The virtual impedance network and the equivalent admittance of the MMC itself together constitute the damped corrected MMC admittance.
[0088] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that, let the virtual impedance be Z v =R v +L v s, Y v =G v +C v s, i is obtained by applying the voltage e and output current i of the MMC two-port network to a virtual impedance. v =i+e·Y v e v =i·Z v +e·Z v ·Y v +e;
[0089] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that the inner ring remains unchanged, i. v =G r0 ·i r +Y0·e v ;
[0090] will i v =i+e·Y v e v =i·Z v +e·Z v ·Y v +e brings in i v =G r0 ·i r +Y0·e v The derivation yields
[0091]
[0092] Among them, G r0v Y 0v i inv These are the command currents i after virtual damping correction. r The transfer function, MMC equivalent admittance, and equivalent current source;
[0093] G vinv B vinv The equivalent admittance Y of MMC after virtual damping correction 0v The real and imaginary parts of the admittance at frequency f.
[0094] e and i represent the voltage and output current of the MMC equivalent two-port network, which are the actual electrical quantities of the system.
[0095] The above is the principle of the damping correction algorithm proposed in this invention. It can be seen that Z... v and Y v The MMC impedance and admittance were corrected separately, and the correction results are as follows:
[0096] 1) When only Z is increased v Y v When = 0, the MMC equivalent admittance is determined by Y. 0v Become
[0097] 2) When only Y is increased v Z v When = 0, the MMC equivalent admittance is determined by Y. 0v Become
[0098] 3) When both corrections are used, i.e., Z is increased v and Y v At that time, the MMC equivalent admittance is determined by Y. 0v It becomes:
[0099]
[0100] Where Z1 is the corrected MMC equivalent impedance.
[0101] That is, adjust Z according to equation (1). v =R v +L v s, Y v =G v +C v s, then the MMC equivalent admittance correction is The change in this value yields the dynamic equivalent admittance-frequency response curve, i.e., G at frequency f. vinv +jB vinv When the equivalent admittance-frequency characteristic curve satisfies the full-band admittance correction criterion, i.e., G vinv When the entire frequency band is positive, the full-band four-quadrant equivalent admittance correction of the MMC is completed.
[0102] As can be seen, theoretically, the addition of the damping correction stage can correct the equivalent impedance or admittance of the MMC according to the design requirements. Based on the equivalent admittance-frequency characteristic curve, the MMC can be connected to the power grid after meeting the grid access criteria proposed in this invention (the MMC does not have negative damping characteristics in the entire frequency band, that is, the MMC conductance takes a positive value in the entire frequency band).
[0103] This invention also provides a modular multilevel converter full-band four-quadrant admittance correction system, the system comprising:
[0104] The MMC inner loop control modeling module is used to model the MMC inner loop control process of the modular multilevel converter to obtain the MMC equivalent admittance-frequency characteristic relationship.
