Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of DC power transmission technology in power systems, and more specifically, to a hybrid DC power transmission system for new energy transmission and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] As a green energy source, new energy power generation can address the global warming problem caused by increased carbon emissions, and is increasingly valued and favored by governments worldwide. Wind power, as a type of new energy power generation, includes offshore wind power and onshore wind power. Compared to onshore wind power, offshore wind power has advantages such as not occupying land resources, more stable wind resources, and higher utilization hours, and has become one of the key renewable energy sources being developed in China and Europe.

[0003] Currently, my country's near-shore wind power resources have been largely developed. To acquire more offshore wind energy, offshore wind farms are gradually expanding towards deeper waters. However, as transmission distances increase, AC power transmission gradually loses its cost-effectiveness due to increased power loss, difficulty in reactive power compensation, and overall cost. Therefore, DC power transmission is the preferred option for long-distance applications.

[0004] Currently, the most common approach is to use flexible DC transmission for offshore wind power. When flexible DC transmission converter stations are used in offshore wind farms, they are typically built on offshore platforms. The entire offshore platform generally includes space for the main equipment and working areas for operators. In existing offshore flexible DC transmission topologies, a modular multilevel converter valve (MMC) topology is commonly used. However, offshore platforms are expensive: the MMC MPC converter valve is a key component in flexible DC transmission, and its cost and weight are relatively high. Therefore, reducing the weight and volume of the converter valve, reducing the weight and volume of the offshore platform, and reducing the cost of the offshore converter valve and platform are urgent problems to be solved to promote grid parity for offshore wind power.

[0005] Siemens proposed a solution for offshore wind power DC transmission using uncontrolled diode rectifier units at offshore stations and modular multilevel converters at onshore stations to reduce the cost of offshore wind power transmission systems. This solution offers advantages such as small size and low cost. However, using only diodes for offshore wind power transmission presents several problems: 1) the wind farm needs to effectively control the voltage and frequency of the offshore AC grid; 2) energy storage, diesel generators, and AC submarine cables are required to provide energy for the wind farm's startup process; and 3) reactive power compensation and harmonic issues need to be addressed.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a hybrid DC power transmission system and its control method for new energy transmission, which can effectively solve the problems of high cost of offshore flexible DC power transmission platforms, black start of wind turbines, and reactive power and harmonic compensation, and promote the development of large-capacity long-distance offshore wind power transmission technology.

[0045] In existing offshore flexible DC transmission system schemes, a modular multilevel converter valve system is typically used. However, the use of fully controlled devices in the modular multilevel submodules and the configuration of capacitors in individual submodules can lead to problems such as high cost, large size, and heavy weight of the converter valves at offshore stations.

[0046] To reduce the cost, weight, and size of offshore converter stations, patents CN113922410 and CN113178886 propose a parallel scheme using diodes and modular multilevel converter valves. However, this parallel scheme requires the modular multilevel converter valves to be connected in parallel on the DC side. Furthermore, the receiving end does not use a converter valve with a full-bridge submodule, which fails to reduce the DC voltage. This results in a large number of parallel submodules, and the uncontrollable characteristics of the diodes during operation can cause problems such as the inability to effectively overcome faults at the sending end.

[0047] Therefore, in response to the existing problems of flexible DC transmission for offshore wind power, this application proposes a hybrid DC transmission system for new energy transmission and its control method.

[0050] According to some embodiments, the thyristor converter valve 101 of the first converter 10 includes N series-connected 6-pulse bridge converters, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The value of N mainly depends on the voltage level and capacity: usually, two 6-pulse bridge thyristor converter valves are connected in series to form a 12-pulse converter valve. If the voltage level is higher, two or even four 12-pulse bridge converters can be connected in series.

[0054] According to some embodiments, during the startup phase, the new energy side, i.e. the first converter 10 side, has no power supply. A stable AC voltage is provided to the new energy side by means of the modular multilevel converter valve 103 of the first converter 10. The sub-modules of the modular multilevel converter valve 103 can be half-bridge sub-modules or a mixture of half-bridge modules and full-bridge sub-modules.

The use of a hybrid topology of full-bridge and half-bridge submodules can reduce losses and costs.

[0059] According to some embodiments, the modular multilevel converter valve 201 of the second converter 20 adopts a full-bridge submodule, which can make full use of the negative voltage output characteristic of the full-bridge submodule. During restart, the DC voltage can be reduced to a voltage that matches the DC voltage generated by the modular multilevel converter valve 103 of the first converter 10.

[0060] According to some embodiments, the second converter 20 is connected to the AC power grid via a transformer 33.

[0061] According to some embodiments, in the first converter 10, the modular multilevel converter valve 103 and in the second converter 20: the full-bridge submodule topology includes a turn-off full-bridge power semiconductor and an energy storage capacitor, which can output positive, negative and zero levels; the half-bridge submodule topology includes a turn-off fully controllable power semiconductor and an energy storage capacitor, which can output positive and zero levels.

[0062] According to an embodiment, the first converter 10 further includes an AC filter for providing reactive power compensation when the reactive power provided by the offshore wind turbine, the modular multilevel converter valve 103 and the second modular multilevel converter valve 201 cannot meet the reactive power of the thyristor converter valve 101.

[0063] This application provides a hybrid DC power transmission system for new energy transmission. By proposing a topology of a first converter 10 and a second converter 20, it enables large-scale new energy access, startup, and grid connection. At the same time, the first converter 10 can effectively reduce cost, weight, and volume, promoting grid parity for new energy access.

[0064] This application provides a hybrid DC power transmission system for new energy transmission. The AC voltage is established by stepping down the voltage through the second converter 20 and cooperating with the modular multilevel converter valve 103 of the first converter 10. At the same time, taking advantage of the cost and space-saving advantages of the thyristor converter valve 101 of the first converter 10, it is connected in series with the modular multilevel converter valve 103 of the first converter 10 to achieve the purpose of starting and power transmission.

[0065] This application provides a hybrid DC power transmission system for new energy transmission. The first converter 10 can employ a thyristor converter valve 101 connected in series with a modular multilevel converter valve 103. The thyristor converter valve 101 bears the main DC voltage, reducing cost, weight, and footprint. If the thyristor converter valve 101 fails, the operational reliability can be improved by closing the parallel bypass switch 105, ensuring the stability of new energy power supply, or relying on the continuity of power supply from land to offshore platforms.

[0066] This application provides a hybrid DC power transmission system for new energy transmission. The first converter 10 is connected in series with a small number of modular multilevel converter valves 103 via thyristor converter valves 101, which reduces the number of modular multilevel converter valves at offshore stations, saving costs and space. The second converter 20 is configured with a full-bridge submodule to achieve step-down operation, thereby enabling the second converter 20 to operate at the modular multilevel low voltage of the first converter 10, realizing the AC test unlocking voltage establishment of the first converter 10, and then using the established AC voltage to establish the thyristor converter valves 101 of the first converter 10.

[0089] According to some embodiments, the modular multilevel converter valve 103 of the first converter 10 adopts a half-bridge sub-module, or a hybrid scheme of half-bridge module and full-bridge sub-module. The half-bridge module can be given priority to reduce cost and loss.

[0090] According to the example embodiment, the AC side of the multilevel converter valve 103 is connected to a new energy source or AC system through a transformer 32. A switch 323 is configured on the valve side of the transformer 32 and connected to the modular multilevel converter valve 103.

[0091] According to some embodiments, the first converter 10 and the second converter 20 are connected by a DC line 15, which is a DC overhead line, a DC cable, or a back-to-back straight bus.

[0092] According to some embodiments, the second converter 20 includes a full-bridge submodule, or a modular multilevel converter valve 201 composed of a mixture of full-bridge and half-bridge submodules. Using a mixed topology of full-bridge and half-bridge submodules can reduce losses and costs.

[0093] According to some embodiments, the modular multilevel converter valve 201 of the second converter 20 adopts a full-bridge submodule, which can make full use of the negative voltage output characteristic of the full-bridge submodule. During restart, the DC voltage can be reduced to a voltage that matches the DC voltage generated by the modular multilevel converter valve 103 of the first converter 10.

[0094] According to some embodiments, the thyristor switching valve 101 of the first converter 10 adopts a semi-controlled device such as a thyristor or an IGCT device with turn-off thyristor characteristics.

[0095] According to some embodiments, bypass switches 1051, 1053, 1055, and 1057 may be switching devices such as circuit breakers, transfer switches, and power electronic switches.

[0096] According to some embodiments, in the first converter 10, the modular multilevel converter valve 103 and in the second converter 20: the full-bridge submodule topology includes a turn-off full-bridge power semiconductor and an energy storage capacitor, which can output positive, negative and zero levels; the half-bridge submodule topology includes a turn-off fully controllable power semiconductor and an energy storage capacitor, which can output positive and zero levels.

[0097] Figure 4a A schematic diagram of a modular multilevel converter valve is shown as an exemplary embodiment.

[0098] like Figure 4a As shown, the modular multilevel converter valves in the first and second converters can be divided into three phases, each consisting of upper and lower bridge arms.

[0099] According to some embodiments, each arm of the modular multilevel converter valve in the first converter includes M sub-modules connected in series and an arm inductor. The sub-modules may be half-bridge sub-modules or a hybrid topology of half-bridge sub-modules and full-bridge sub-modules.

[0100] According to some embodiments, each arm of the modular multilevel converter valve in the second converter includes N sub-modules connected in series and an arm inductor.

[0102] like Figure 4c As shown, the half-bridge submodule topology includes one energy storage capacitor, two fully controlled power semiconductors, and two anti-parallel diodes. Each submodule can output both positive and zero voltage levels.

[0103] According to the example embodiment, the number M of submodules in each arm of the modular multilevel converter valve in the first converter is less than the number N of submodules in each arm of the modular multilevel converter valve in the second converter.

[0104] According to the example embodiment, by controlling the number of negative voltage levels in the full-bridge submodule of the modular multilevel converter, the magnitude of the DC voltage can be controlled while maintaining a constant AC voltage. This allows the modular multilevel converter valves in the first and second converters to operate in parallel during startup. After the thyristor converter valve in the first converter operates, the negative voltage levels in the full-bridge submodule of the modular multilevel converter in the second converter are gradually switched to positive voltage, thereby achieving high DC voltage operation.

[0105] Figure 5 A flowchart illustrating a control method for a hybrid DC power transmission system for new energy transmission, as shown in an exemplary embodiment, is provided.

[0106] S610 refers to the primary and secondary equipment in a detection system.

[0107] According to the example embodiment, primary and secondary equipment in a hybrid DC transmission system for new energy transmission are tested. The primary equipment includes a first converter, a second converter, a transformer, etc., in the hybrid DC transmission system for new energy transmission. The secondary equipment includes control equipment used in system control, such as control equipment for unlocking the thyristor converter valve and the modular multilevel converter valve of the first converter, and control equipment for unlocking the modular multilevel converter valve of the second converter. When all equipment in the system is ready, proceed to S620.

[0108] S620, closes the bypass switch of the thyristor converter valve in the first converter.

[0109] According to the example embodiment, the bypass switch of the thyristor converter valve in the first converter is closed, so that the modular multilevel converter valve in the first converter is connected to the second converter; S630, close the switches on both sides of the transformer on the second converter side.

[0110] According to the example embodiment, closing the switches on both sides of the transformer on the second converter side energizes the modular multilevel converter valve of the first converter and the modular multilevel converter valve of the second converter.

[0111] S640, the second converter control unlocks and runs, establishing voltage.

[0112] According to the example embodiment, the transformer on the second converter side charges the modular multilevel converter valve of the first converter and the modular multilevel converter valve of the second converter. After a period of delay, the second converter operates in DC voltage control mode, and the sub-module of the modular multilevel converter valve of the second converter is unlocked and runs to establish a voltage matching the modular multilevel valve of the first converter.

[0113] According to some embodiments, the delay ranges from 5s to 5000s.

[0114] S650, first converter control unlock, establish AC voltage.

[0115] According to the example embodiment, after the DC side of the modular multilevel converter valve of the first converter is established with voltage, the modular multilevel converter valve of the first converter closes the switches on both sides of the transformer connected in series to connect to the new energy or AC system, and the modular multilevel converter valve of the first converter is unlocked by islanded control to establish AC voltage.

[0116] S660, closes the switches on both sides of the transformer connected in series with the thyristor converter valve of the first converter.

[0117] According to the example embodiment, Figure 2To illustrate, first close the switches 3124 and 3123 on both sides of the transformer 312, which are connected in series with the thyristor converter valve 1013, and the transformer becomes energized.

[0118] S670, negative pressure unlocking operation of thyristor converter valve.

[0119] According to the example embodiment, Figure 2 For example, the thyristor converter valve 1013 is first unlocked with negative pressure, and the current gradually transfers from the bypass switch 1053 to the thyristor converter valve 1023.

[0120] S680, disconnect the bypass switch.

[0121] According to the example embodiment, Figure 2 For example, after the current is transferred to the thyristor converter valve 1023, the bypass switch 1053 is disconnected.

[0122] S690, the second converter reduces the amount of negative voltage in the full-bridge submodule.

[0123] According to the example embodiment, Figure 2 For example, in the first converter, the thyristor converter valve 1023 gradually increases the DC voltage by controlling the conduction angle, while the second converter simultaneously reduces the number of negative voltages in the full-bridge submodules and gradually increases the voltage to maintain a stable DC current.

[0124] S691, determine if there is a thyristor converter valve that is not energized for unlocking.

[0125] According to the example embodiment, when the thyristor switching valve 1023 reaches its rated voltage, the system determines whether any thyristor switching valves are not energized and unlocked. If any thyristor switching valves are not energized and unlocked, the process proceeds to S660. Figure 2 For example, if the thyristor converter valve 1011 is not energized and unlocked, then proceed to S660; if all thyristor converter valves are energized and unlocked, then proceed to S600.

[0126] S600, a new energy source, achieves energy output through a hybrid topology.

[0127] If all thyristor converter valves are working properly, the DC voltage is maintained at the rated voltage, and the system eventually operates at the rated DC voltage. The new energy source achieves energy output through the hybrid topology.

[0128] According to an example embodiment, this application provides a hybrid DC power transmission system and its control method for new energy transmission: AC grid support is provided through modular multilevel converter valves on the rectifier side to solve the problem of black start of wind power, realize power transmission, and perform reactive power and harmonic compensation in steady state; step-down operation is achieved by configuring a hybrid topology of full-bridge and half-bridge sub-modules in the inverter-side converter station, so as to achieve DC voltage matching with the rectifier-side converter valve during startup, and realize the application of hybrid DC topology engineering.

[0129] According to an example embodiment, this application provides a hybrid DC transmission system and its control method for new energy transmission: the hybrid DC transmission topology achieves step-down operation by configuring a hybrid submodule of full-bridge and half-bridge in the second converter, thereby matching it with the modular multilevel converter valve of the first converter; then, new energy or grid access is achieved through the modular multilevel converter valve of the first converter, gradually establishing a system that unlocks the thyristor converter valve to transmit new energy. By reducing the number of modular multilevel converters in the first converter, the system of thyristor converter valves connected in series with modular multilevel converter valves reduces the cost and footprint of converter valves at offshore stations, thereby reducing the weight, volume, and cost of offshore platforms. By using modular multilevel converter valves with full-bridge submodules in the second converter, the cost and losses of onshore converter stations are reduced, ultimately achieving grid parity transmission of large-scale new energy. In the event of a thyristor converter valve failure, power transmission can still continue through step-down operation of the modular multilevel converter.

[0135] According to some embodiments, K 11 It is approximately 40% to 60%.

[0136] According to the example embodiment, the reactive power Q consumed by the thyristor converter valve in the first converter is... 11 The relationship between the maximum reactive power provided by the modular multilevel converter valve in the first converter and the reactive power consumed by the thyristor converter valve is determined as follows: Q 12_max = α (Q) 11 -Q1) Among them, Q 12_max This refers to the maximum reactive power that the modular multilevel converter valve in the first converter can provide.

[0137] According to some embodiments, When =1, it indicates that the reactive power exchanged by the modular multilevel converter valve in the first converter meets the reactive power requirements of the thyristor-converter converter valve. When the value is less than 1, it indicates that the modular multilevel converter valve in the first converter is insufficient to provide reactive power to the thyristor converter valve, and an AC filter needs to be configured to provide additional reactive power to the thyristor converter valve.

[0138] According to some embodiments, The capacity rating is determined by the modular multilevel converter valves in the first converter.

[0139] S3, determine the relationship between the rated active power and reactive power transmitted by the modular multilevel converter valve in the first converter.
