Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of direct current (DC) transmission of power systems, and in particular to an AC fault ride-through control method and device for a hybrid flexible DC transmission system. Background Art

[0002] Conventional DC transmission systems face the risk of commutation failure when connected to weak AC grids. However, flexible DC transmission systems eliminate this risk and offer numerous advantages, such as increased flexibility. Therefore, they are widely used in a variety of scenarios, including renewable energy grid integration, island interconnection, and asynchronous power transmission. However, flexible DC transmission systems are expensive and have limited transmission capacity. Combining the advantages of both systems, hybrid DC transmission systems have become a hot research topic. In LCC-VSC hybrid DC transmission systems, when an AC system fault occurs in the receiving VSC, the valve group's power transmission capacity is reduced. The continued power output of the rectifier station exacerbates the power surplus on the DC side, causing a sharp increase in the VSC converter voltage. After the fault ends, system power recovery takes a long time, seriously impacting system operation and stability.

[0003] In the existing LCC-VSC hybrid DC transmission system, when an AC fault occurs at the receiving end, a forced phase shift is usually adopted at the sending end to reduce power transmission, thereby reducing the power received by the VSC converter at the receiving end and avoiding DC overvoltage. In other words, when an AC fault occurs in the VSC converter at the receiving end, the power transmission capacity is weakened, causing the DC voltage to rise. The low-voltage current limiting function configured in the LCC converter at the sending end cannot be used, and the output power of the sending end can only be limited by phase shifting. Since the LCC converter has a slow response speed, when the phase shift is completed, the valve group overvoltage has developed to a more serious level. At the same time, after the LCC converter phase shift is completed, it is necessary to wait for a period of de-ionization time before transmission can be resumed, which can easily cause the system recovery time to be longer, thereby affecting power transmission.
