[0002] Currently, most ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) projects in operation are point-to-point transmissions, but the demand for multi-point collection and transmission is gradually becoming more prominent. Multi-point collection and transmission DC systems represent a new trend in UHVDC development. By constructing two converter stations at the sending or receiving end, or at both ends, high and low-end power can be collected from two locations or distributed power can be transmitted, thus accommodating coordinated development across multiple regions.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail through specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments are provided only for a better understanding of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terminology used is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] To address the problems in existing technologies where multi-terminal construction adds one or more connecting lines between converter stations, thus increasing DC harmonics in the circuit and posing difficulties for insulation coordination design and overvoltage suppression in UHVDC systems, this invention proposes a multi-terminal cascaded DC transmission insulation coordination system. Its reasonable insulation coordination design requires consideration of the characteristics of the main wiring of the multi-terminal system, the parameter coordination relationship of each surge arrester in the circuit, and the suppression of the maximum transient overvoltage, current, and energy levels under various faults on both the AC and DC sides to acceptable levels, achieving an optimal fit between the economic efficiency of converter station equipment and the insulation coordination scheme.

The following detailed description of the invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, illustrates the solution in detail.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] This embodiment discloses a multi-terminal cascaded DC transmission insulation coordination system, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the multi-terminal cascaded DC transmission insulation coordination can be used for the sending-end converter station's high-end system to directly connect to the high-end station's 500kV AC grid, and the low-end system to connect to the low-end station's 500kV AC grid. The receiving-end converter station adopts conventional DC hierarchical connection to the 500kV AC grid. The rated power is bipolar 8000MW. It includes: N converter stations and M tie lines connecting the converter stations, ordered from low to high voltage. The sequence number of the converter station is t, t=1, 2, ..., N, and the sequence number of the tie line is a, a=1, 2, ..., M. The relationship between N and M is N=M+1.

[0028] Several converter stations are connected in series and via tie lines. In this embodiment, each converter station includes two converters. According to the topology of multi-terminal converter stations, each converter valve in the converter station is equipped with a surge arrester at its bottom, middle, and top. , , Where t is the converter station designation, t≤N. That is, two converters, the positive terminal of one converter is connected to the positive terminal of the converter station, the negative terminal of that converter is connected to the positive terminal of the other converter, and the negative terminal of the other converter is connected to the next…

[0029] The negative terminal of the DC pole of the lowest voltage converter station is equipped with a grounding line; the grounding line consists of several grounding poles, and a set of grounding surge arresters is installed at the outlet of each grounding pole. Where t is the converter station designation, t≤N; this surge arrester is not configured for converter stations without grounding electrodes; a neutral line surge arrester is installed on the side of the grounding surge arrester furthest from the grounding electrode. .

[0030] Metallic return surge arresters are configured according to the metallic return connection configuration of the multi-terminal converter station, and each metallic return jumper of each converter station is equipped with a set of surge arresters. , where a is the tie line number, a≤M; this surge arrester is not configured for converter stations without grounding electrodes.

[0031] A series DC field surge arrester is configured at the positive output terminal of the DC pole of the highest voltage converter station. Line surge arrester .

[0032] Two sets of surge arresters are installed at each end of each tie line; that is, a surge arrester at the converter station outlet is installed at the input end of the tie line, and a surge arrester at the converter station interior is installed at the output end of the tie line. They are named accordingly. , , ), where 'a' is the tie line number, a≤M; 'b'∈{1,2}, b=1 represents the high-voltage side surge arrester of the tie line, b=2 represents the low-voltage side surge arrester of the tie line; 'c'∈{1,2}, c=1 represents the station-side surge arrester, c=2 represents the converter station outlet surge arrester, and the naming follows the same logic. Specifically: the station-side surge arrester of the first tie line of the first converter station. The first surge arrester at the first interconnection line outlet of the first converter station The surge arrester in the first interconnection line of the second converter station Lightning protection at the first interconnection line outlet of the second converter station The surge arrester inside the second tie line of the second converter station. Lightning protection at the first interconnection line outlet of the second converter station Up to the surge arrester of the Mth interconnection line between the N-1th converter station and the Nth converter station. , , , .

[0033] Each converter valve in the converter station has a surge arrester at its bottom connected to a reactor, and a surge arrester at its top connected to a reactor. Except for the negative DC line of the lowest voltage converter station and the positive DC line of the highest voltage converter station, each reactor is equipped with a smoothing surge arrester parallel to it. That is, the smoothing reactor surge arrester on the first tie line of the first converter station. The first tie line smoothing reactor surge arrester of the second converter station The second tie line smoothing reactor surge arrester of the second converter station ..., until the smoothing reactor surge arrester of the Mth interconnection line between the N-1th converter station and the Nth converter station. .

[0034] Several reactors are installed at the positive output terminal of the DC pole of the highest voltage converter station, and smoothing reactor surge arresters are connected in parallel with the reactors. Several reactors are installed at the negative output terminal of the DC pole of the lowest voltage converter station, along with smoothing reactor surge arresters connected in parallel with the reactors. A DC filter is installed between the positive and negative terminals of each converter station.

[0035] The surge arrester configuration in the converter area of ​​the ±800kV converter station is basically the same as that in the high-voltage converter area of ​​a conventional ±800kV UHVDC project. However, due to the addition of a ±400kV multi-terminal cascaded connection line, the original valve-top surge arrester of the low-end converter cannot protect the low-voltage side of the high-end converter. Therefore, an additional surge arrester is added at the bottom of the valve of the high-end converter. Surge arresters. The configuration of surge arresters in the pole area, neutral area, and smoothing reactor is the same as that in conventional 800kV UHVDC projects. The difference is that with the addition of ±400kV multi-terminal cascaded connecting lines, both substations have added ±400kV pole and line areas, requiring additional surge arresters in these areas. , , , Line surge arresters. Each end is equipped with a set of multi-terminal cascaded tie-line surge arresters, and each set of arresters is configured to protect a corresponding line area. Furthermore, in the aforementioned high-reliability, separately located cascaded converter station insulation coordination design scheme, the key feature is the separate location construction at the sending end (high and low ends). Due to access to different AC systems, the surge arresters are symmetrically distributed on the ±800kV pole line, ±400kV pole line, and neutral bus, or only on the ±800kV pole line and neutral bus. DC filters are connected across the DC side of the high-end and low-end valve groups respectively. , , , The voltage contains certain harmonics, and the impact of ±400kV multi-terminal cascaded interconnections and reactance on the ±400kV DC voltage should be considered. The high- and low-end ±400kV switchyard equipment consists of ±400kV DC pole-line surge arresters. , , , Protection. The most severe overvoltage condition of ±400kV DC pole bus is caused by lightning strikes intruding into the DC line or by lightning strikes due to failure of DC field shielding. The lightning current in the latter case is limited to a very small amount due to the appropriate shielding system above the DC pole equipment, and is zero for the indoor DC field.

[0036] The maximum amplitude of a lightning strike entering through a DC line is determined by the highest withstand voltage of the DC line, and the lightning strike is controlled by a DC pole arrester. , DC filter is affected , The limitations of this design include separate high- and low-end locations at the sending end. Due to access to different AC systems, the transformers are symmetrically positioned on the ±800kV pole line, ±400kV pole line, and neutral bus. DC filters are connected across the DC side of the high-end and low-end valve groups, respectively. , All voltages contain certain harmonics.
