Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of new energy power generation, and particularly relates to a wind power diode sending-out system starting method based on active power-frequency coupling network construction. BACKGROUND

However, in the large-capacity offshore wind farm flexible direct current transmission system, the offshore converter station adopting the MMC topology structure has a large volume and weight, and its construction and transportation cost is very high, which is not conducive to the on-grid parity of offshore wind power. Compared with the MMC topology structure, the adoption of the diode topology can significantly reduce the volume and weight of the equipment, thereby reducing the construction cost of the offshore converter station. However, the adoption of the diode topology by the sending-end converter station will cause the uncontrollability of the sending-end alternating current power grid and the difficulty in system starting, etc., and the offshore wind turbine needs to adopt a network construction type control strategy.

If the wind turbine adopts an active power-frequency coupled network type control strategy, the system starting process will face the problem of difficult coordination of the power at both ends of the diode converter. Therefore, it is necessary to study the corresponding wind power diode sending-out system starting method for the wind turbine adopting the active power-frequency coupled control network type.
