Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a simulation analysis technology for a flexible direct current transmission system, and in particular to an MMC equivalent modeling method and device. Background Art

[0002] MMC (Modular Multilevel Converter) is a converter based on a multi-level topology, mainly used for high-voltage and large-capacity DC and AC power transmission. It achieves multi-level output through the series and parallel connection of multiple power modules, making the output voltage waveform closer to a sine wave, reducing harmonic distortion and the need for filters. It is the core device for achieving AC and DC conversion.

[0003] In the MMC structure, the converter valve is composed of many sub-modules (SMs), each of which usually includes power electronic devices (such as IGBT or IGCT) and capacitors. These sub-modules can be dynamically controlled to be turned on and off to form an output voltage waveform with a higher number of levels.

[0004] In flexible DC transmission systems, accurate modeling of MMC valves is crucial for system simulation and analysis. However, traditional detailed modeling methods have large computational complexity and slow simulation speed, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale system research. The average-based modeling method simplifies the switching behavior of each submodule and uses the average value to describe its output voltage and current instead of simulating the specific action of each switch, without considering the transient characteristics of the switching device. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an MMC modeling method that can ensure accuracy and significantly improve the calculation speed. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, the present invention provides an MMC equivalent modeling method and device, establishes an equivalent model of MMC, and converts the sub-modules of MMC into different states through external trigger pulses, simplifies the model complexity, and significantly improves the calculation speed.

[0007] An equivalent model of MMC is established, in which a diode is connected in parallel to the capacitor of each submodule on the MMC valve arm, so that the diode is cut off when the voltage of the capacitor is greater than 0, and the diode is turned on when the voltage of the capacitor is less than 0;

[0008] Receive a trigger pulse input from the outside to the MMC, and determine the equivalent switch state of each submodule according to the trigger pulse;

[0009] The MMC is simulated and calculated based on the equivalent model according to the determined equivalent switch states of each submodule.

[0010] Furthermore, each submodule of the MMC includes a parallel structure consisting of a switch and a diode reversely connected in parallel with the switch. In the equivalent model, the parallel structure is equivalent to a resistor, so that each submodule of the MMC in the equivalent model includes a resistor, a capacitor connected in parallel with the resistor, and a diode connected in parallel with the capacitor.

[0011] Furthermore, the diode connected in parallel to the capacitor in each submodule of the equivalent model is a reverse connection structure.

[0012] Furthermore, when the submodule is a half-bridge structure, the equivalent model of the MMC includes a plurality of submodules connected in series, and a first diode and a second diode connected in parallel to the submodule, the first diode and the second diode are connected in series, and the input current enters the bridge arm of the MMC from the series connection point of the first diode and the second diode.

[0013] Furthermore, when the submodule is equivalent to a locked state, the above equivalent modeling method includes:

[0014] Determine the direction of the bridge arm current;

[0015] The conduction voltage drop of the first diode or the second diode is set according to the direction of the bridge arm current and the number of submodules that are equivalent to the locked state.

[0016] Furthermore, when the submodule is equivalent to the input state, the above equivalent modeling method includes:

[0017] Determine the direction of the bridge arm current to charge or discharge the submodule capacitor in the equivalent model.

[0018] Furthermore, when the submodule is a full-bridge structure, the equivalent model of the MMC includes several submodules connected in series, and a third diode, a fourth diode, a fifth diode and a sixth diode connected in parallel to the submodule. The third diode is connected in series with the fourth diode and connected in parallel on the first side of the submodule. The fifth diode is connected in series with the sixth diode and connected in parallel on the second side of the submodule. The input current enters the bridge arm of the MMC from the series connection point of the third diode and the fourth diode.

[0019] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an MMC equivalent modeling device, comprising:

[0020] A model building module is used to build an equivalent model of the MMC. In the equivalent model, a diode is connected in parallel to the capacitor of each submodule on the MMC valve arm, so that when the voltage of the capacitor is greater than 0, the diode is cut off, and when the voltage of the capacitor is less than 0, the diode is turned on;

[0021] The pulse trigger module is used to receive the trigger pulse input from the outside to the MMC, and determine the equivalent switch state of each submodule according to the trigger pulse;

[0022] The simulation calculation module is used to perform simulation calculation on the MMC according to the determined equivalent switch states of each submodule using an equivalent model.

[0023] In a third aspect, the present invention provides an electronic device, comprising a memory storing computer executable instructions and a processor, wherein when the computer executable instructions are executed by the processor, the device executes each step of the MMC equivalent modeling method provided in the first aspect.

[0024] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a readable storage medium storing a computer executable program, which, when executed, can implement the various steps of the MMC equivalent modeling method provided in the first aspect.

[0025] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The present invention provides an MMC equivalent modeling method. When establishing an equivalent model, a diode is connected in parallel to the capacitor of a submodule. The diode can be regarded as virtual and does not exist in the actual physical structure. The capacitor voltage is clamped to avoid negative values ​​of the capacitor voltage during a switch simulation process, thereby improving the model stability. The submodule is equivalent to different switch states according to an external trigger pulse, and simulation calculations are performed corresponding to the different switch states. Through this equivalent simplification, the number of components that need to be calculated during simulation modeling is greatly reduced, and the speed of large-scale power system simulation is significantly improved, while taking into account the simulation accuracy.

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] See also Figure 1~Figure 3 , which respectively illustrate the typical structure of the MMC converter valve and the internal structure of the sub-module.

[0039] Specific reference Figure 1 The MMC converter valve can be regarded as composed of multiple sub-modules (SM) connected in series. Each sub-module includes power devices and capacitors. These sub-modules can dynamically control the on and off state to form an output voltage waveform with a higher number of levels. Among them, the power device is usually IGBT or IGCT, which is responsible for the switching operation of the current. The capacitor is used to store energy and smooth the output voltage waveform. Each sub-module can provide a voltage unit. Multiple sub-modules are connected in series to form a multi-level output.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, it illustrates a submodule topology of a half-bridge structure, including two series-connected IGBTs and a capacitor connected in parallel to the series-connected IGBT structure. By controlling the switching states of the switch tubes T1 and T2, the output voltage of the submodule can be controlled to V C or 0. Figure 3 The topology diagram of a full-bridge submodule is shown, including four IGBTs and a capacitor, where the switch tubes T1 and T2 are connected in series to form a bridge arm, T3 and T4 are connected in series to form a bridge arm, the two bridge arms are connected in parallel, and the capacitor is connected in parallel with the bridge arm structure. Similarly, by controlling the switching state of the switch tubes T1~T4, the output voltage of the submodule can be controlled to V C , 0 or -V C .

[0041] See also Figure 4 An embodiment of the present invention provides an MMC equivalent modeling method, comprising the following steps:

[0042] Step S410: Establish an equivalent model of the MMC, in which a diode is connected in parallel to the capacitor of each submodule on the MMC valve arm, so that the diode is cut off when the capacitor voltage is greater than 0, and the diode is turned on when the capacitor voltage is less than 0.

[0043] Step S420: Receive a trigger pulse input from the outside to the MMC, and determine the equivalent switch state of each submodule according to the trigger pulse.

[0044] Step S430: Perform simulation calculation on the MMC based on the equivalent model according to the determined equivalent switch states of each submodule.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, Figure 5 One of the topological structures of the equivalent model is illustrated. Each submodule of the MMC includes a parallel structure consisting of a switch and a diode reversely connected in parallel with the switch. In the equivalent model, the parallel structure is equivalent to a resistor, so that each submodule of the MMC in the equivalent model includes a resistor, a capacitor connected in parallel with the resistor, and a diode connected in parallel with the capacitor. The diode does not exist in the actual physical structure of the MMC, but is only an equivalent structure when the equivalent model is established.

[0046] The parallel diode in the equivalent model is a reverse connection structure, so that when the capacitor voltage of the submodule is greater than 0, the diode is cut off and does not participate in the calculation. When the capacitor voltage is less than 0, the diode is turned on, forcing the capacitor voltage of the submodule to be clamped at 0.

[0047] In a further embodiment, the trigger pulse can trigger the submodule to the three states of locking, switching on and bypassing, and the submodule is equivalent to the corresponding switch state according to the trigger pulse to perform electromagnetic transient simulation calculation.

[0048] In a further embodiment, when the submodule is a half-bridge structure, the equivalent model of the MMC includes a plurality of submodules connected in series, and a first diode and a second diode connected in parallel to the submodule, the first diode and the second diode are connected in series, and the input current enters the bridge arm of the MMC from the series connection point of the first diode and the second diode.

[0049] In a further embodiment, when the trigger pulse triggers the submodule to enter the locked state, the above equivalent modeling method includes:

[0050] Determine the direction of the bridge arm current;

[0051] The conduction voltage drop of the first diode or the second diode is set according to the direction of the bridge arm current and the number of submodules entering the blocking state in the equivalent model.

[0052] In a further embodiment, when the trigger pulse triggers the submodule to enter the input state, the above equivalent modeling method includes:

[0053] Determine the direction of the bridge arm current to charge or discharge the submodule capacitor in the equivalent model.

[0054] For example, when the bridge arm is a half-bridge submodule, the equivalent calculation of the switching state of the MMC can be simplified as follows: Figure 6 Wherein, submodules SM1 and SM2 indicate submodules in a locked state, SM5 and SM6 indicate submodules in an activated state, and submodules SM3 and SM4 indicate submodules in a bypass state.

[0055] When the submodule is equivalent to the locked state, SM1 and SM2 are connected in series, and diodes D1 and D2 are connected in series and then connected in parallel at both ends of the switch. The input current enters the bridge arm from the series connection point of diodes D1 and D2. When the bridge arm current direction is flowing into the submodule, the submodules SM1 and SM2 on the bridge arm are charged through diode D1, and the conduction voltage drop of diode D1 is set to N times the single diode voltage drop, where N represents the number of submodules equivalent to the locked state in the bridge arm. Conversely, when the bridge arm current direction is flowing out of the submodule, the submodules SM1 and SM2 on the bridge arm are charged through diode D2, and the conduction voltage drop of diode D2 is set to N times the single diode voltage drop, where N represents the number of submodules equivalent to the locked state in the bridge arm.

[0056] When the submodule is equivalent to the input state, such as Figure 6 SM5 and SM6 in the valve arm are connected in series to form a valve arm. When the bridge arm current flows into the submodule, the capacitors of the M submodules in the on-state are directly charged. Conversely, when the bridge arm current flows out of the submodule, the capacitors of the M submodules in the on-state are directly discharged.

[0057] When the submodule is equivalent to the bypass state, the simulation calculation of the submodule is independent of the direction of the bridge arm current, such as Figure 6 In SM3 and SM4, the submodule in bypass state discharges directly through the RC branch, where the RC branch is a branch composed of equivalent resistance and capacitance in the submodule, and the equivalent resistance is obtained by equivalently connecting the IGBT in the original MMC submodule and its reverse-connected parallel diode in parallel.

[0058] In a further embodiment, when the submodule is a full-bridge structure, the equivalent model of the MMC includes several submodules connected in series, and a third diode, a fourth diode, a fifth diode and a sixth diode connected in parallel to the submodules. The third diode is connected in series with the fourth diode and connected in parallel on the first side of the submodule. The fifth diode is connected in series with the sixth diode and connected in parallel on the second side of the submodule. The input current enters the valve arm of the MMC from the series connection point of the third diode and the fourth diode.

[0059] For example, when the submodule is a full-bridge structure, the equivalent calculation of the switching state of the MMC can be simplified as follows: Figure 7 Among them, submodules SM1 and SM6 indicate submodules in the locked state, SM5, SM3 and SM2 indicate submodules in the switched-on state, and submodule SM4 indicates a submodule in the bypass state.

[0060] When the submodule is equivalent to the locked state, SM1 and SM2 are connected in series to form a bridge arm, diodes D1 and D2 are connected in series and then connected in parallel on one side of the bridge arm, and diodes D3 and D4 are connected in series and then connected in parallel on the other side of the bridge arm. The input current enters the bridge arm from the series connection point of diodes D1 and D2. When the direction of the bridge arm current is to flow into the submodule, the submodules SM1 and SM2 on the bridge arm are charged through diodes D1 and D4, and the conduction voltage drop of diodes D1 and D4 is set to N times the single diode voltage drop, where N represents the number of submodules equivalent to the locked state in the bridge arm. Conversely, when the direction of the bridge arm current is to flow out of the submodule, the submodules SM1 and SM2 on the bridge arm are charged through diodes D2 and D3, and the conduction voltage drop of diodes D2 and D3 is set to N times the single diode voltage drop, where N represents the number of submodules equivalent to the locked state in the bridge arm.

[0061] When the submodule is equivalent to the on-state, if the trigger pulse triggers the IGBT corresponding to the diodes D1 and D4, the capacitor voltage of the submodule is on with a positive voltage; if the trigger pulse triggers the IGBT corresponding to the diodes D2 and D3, the capacitor voltage of the submodule is on with a negative voltage; if the trigger pulse triggers the IGBT corresponding to the diodes D1 and D2, or the IGBT corresponding to D3 and D4, the capacitor voltage of the submodule is on with a zero voltage.

[0062] When the submodule is equivalent to the bypass state, the simulation calculation of the submodule is independent of the direction of the bridge arm current, such as Figure 7 In SM4, the submodule in bypass state is discharged directly through the RC branch, where the RC branch is a branch composed of an equivalent resistor and a capacitor in the submodule, and the equivalent resistor is obtained by equivalently connecting the IGBT in the original MMC submodule and its reverse-connected parallel diode in parallel.

[0063] The above disclosed embodiments describe in detail an MMC equivalent modeling method. The above disclosed method can be implemented by various forms of equipment. Therefore, the present invention also discloses a device corresponding to the above method. The following specific embodiments are given for detailed description.

[0064] See also Figure 8 One embodiment of the present invention provides an MMC equivalent modeling device, comprising:

[0065] A model building module 802 is used to build an equivalent model of the MMC, in which a diode is connected in parallel to the capacitor of each submodule on the MMC valve arm, so that when the voltage of the capacitor is greater than 0, the diode is cut off, and when the voltage of the capacitor is less than 0, the diode is turned on;

[0066] The pulse trigger module 804 is used to receive a trigger pulse input from the outside to the MMC, and determine the equivalent switch state of each submodule according to the trigger pulse;
