Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of converter stations, and in particular to an ultra-high voltage converter station with an overlapping structure. Background Art
[0002] The overall planning and general layout of the converter station are directly related to the construction investment benefits and subsequent operation quality of the converter station and related lines. Reasonable electrical general layout is crucial to saving precious land resources, ensuring smooth process of the converter station, and convenient operation and maintenance. Conventional converter stations are mainly composed of converter areas, DC fields, AC fields and front-of-station areas. Due to technical and economic limitations, the construction of converter stations requires certain spatial terrain conditions. However, renewable energy sources such as hydropower and photovoltaics are concentrated in mountainous canyon areas. The terrain in this area is complex and diverse, with high altitudes, large height differences, high earthquake intensity, fragile ecological environment, and frequent geological disasters. As a result, the available land resources suitable for station construction are very limited and relatively scattered. At present, there is a lack of mature solutions for the design of UHV converter stations in mountainous and canyon areas. Faced with such complex situations, it is necessary to comprehensively consider unfavorable factors such as high altitude, high earthquake intensity, and high temperature difference, and conduct selection research on distribution devices; at the same time, under limited and complex terrain conditions, in-depth layout optimization is carried out for each distribution device area. By studying its layout and occupation, while ensuring safe operation, it is possible to reduce the occupied area, reduce the difficulty of construction, and make the converter station more neat and beautiful, which is of great significance to improving the overall design level of the converter station.
[0003] The existing ±800kV UHV flexible DC converter station adopts a single-layer layout of open DC field equipment. The converter area of the ±800kV converter station consists of four parts: high-end and low-end valve halls, bridge arm reactor area, high-end and low-end connecting transformers, and connecting transformer square. The valve hall and connecting transformer area consider the one-line layout of high-end and low-end valve halls and the one-line tight valve hall layout of connecting transformers. The connecting transformer square is located in the open space between the valve hall and the AC distribution device. The connecting transformer incoming line is located above the connecting transformer and is connected to the AC distribution device using overhead lines. The DC field adopts a typical UHV bipolar connection, and each valve group is equipped with a bypass circuit breaker and an isolating switch circuit. The DC field is arranged according to pole symmetry. The DC neutral point equipment and grounding pole outlet equipment are arranged in the center of the DC distribution device, and the DC high-voltage pole line equipment is arranged on both sides of the DC distribution device. The DC bypass switch circuit equipment is arranged between the high and low-end valve halls of each pole. The one bypass circuit breaker and three bypass isolating switches of each valve group are arranged in a U-shaped pattern, installed close to the valve hall, and connected to the valve hall equipment through a wall bushing. The neutral busbar equipment and the grounding electrode lead-out equipment are arranged between the low-end valve halls of the two poles. The AC power distribution device uses sulfur hexafluoride enclosed combination electrical appliances (hereinafter referred to as GIS). The low-voltage power distribution device and amplitude phase corrector are arranged outdoors, in a straight line with the AC GIS equipment or arranged in the open space between the AC field and the DC field.
[0004] The layout of conventional flexible DC converter stations has clear functional divisions, relatively smooth processes, and convenient operation and maintenance. However, this layout occupies a large area. When carrying out the plan layout at the UHV station site in the high mountain valley, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the restrictions of the harsh terrain and the process requirements of the electrical layout, and the overall plan layout should be adapted to the site conditions as much as possible. Under this premise, some common modules and equipment selection principles are often no longer applicable, that is, conventional distribution device modules cannot adapt to the complex terrain requirements, and conventional equipment selection cannot meet the actual needs of the project. At present, there is a plan to use DC GIS equipment instead of the conventional open DC field layout. This plan can significantly reduce the area occupied by the DC field, but because the valve hall, converter square, AC area, station front area and other areas still require a large site, the overall space optimization for the ±800kV flexible DC converter station is relatively limited. Summary of the invention
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an ultra-high voltage converter station with an overlapping structure. Combining the power distribution device and site layout characteristics of the ±800kV flexible DC converter station, each area is split and optimized with a spatial overlapping structure, which significantly improves the site utilization rate and saves floor space.
