Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flexible DC transmission technology, and in particular to a destructive testing method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for flexible DC converter valves. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible DC transmission (VSC-HVDC, Voltage Source Converter based High Voltage Direct Current) is a DC transmission technology that uses fully controlled devices such as IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) as core power devices. Compared with conventional DC transmission (LCC-HVDC, Line Commutated Converter based High Voltage Direct Current), it has advantages in reactive power compensation, no need for supporting power sources, no commutation failure, and flexible power control. Future applications such as distributed energy grid connection, back-to-back AC grid projects, islanded system power supply, and deep-sea wind power transmission will primarily utilize flexible DC transmission as the external transmission route. However, limited by the current-carrying capacity of IGBT devices, the maximum DC current of currently completed flexible DC projects both domestically and internationally is only 3kA. With the gradual advancement of energy development, the demand for ultra-high voltage, high-capacity flexible DC transmission and its core converter valve equipment is becoming increasingly urgent.
[0003] However, with the increase in single-module capacity, in addition to the improved current-carrying performance of IGBT devices, the increased capacitance of submodules leads to a significant increase in the magnitude of the shoot-through short-circuit current that may result from power device breakdown under extreme fault conditions. High voltage and high current may cause overvoltage breakdown of semiconductor devices and shell rupture, potentially damaging the power module and adjacent modules, resulting in the inability to reliably bypass the flexible DC converter valve module in case of failure. Therefore, it is crucial to verify the protection performance of the flexible DC converter valve submodule under extreme fault conditions through experiments. Summary of the Invention

[0118] The power module is continuously pressurized until the turnaround thyristor and the upper anti-parallel diode of the fourth equivalent test circuit break down due to overvoltage, resulting in a short circuit.
[0119] S5. Based on the experimental phenomena, the explosion-proof performance of the flexible DC converter valve is judged, and the experimental results are obtained.
[0120] Specifically, it is necessary to determine whether the test sub-module of IGBT with long-term current carrying capacity / test sub-module of IGBT without long-term current carrying capacity has exploded, whether there is water leakage in the cooling system after the explosion, whether there are objects splashing, and whether the internal busbar components of the IGBT test sub-module are deformed.
[0121] If so, the destructive test of the flexible DC converter valve is deemed unsuccessful.
[0122] As an improvement to the above scheme, the destructive testing method for the flexible DC converter valve, as described above, further includes:
[0123] Based on the maximum operating current values of the test sub-modules with and without IGBT long-term current carrying capacity, a 168-hour long-term current carrying capacity test was conducted on the test sub-modules with and without IGBT long-term current carrying capacity.
[0124] It is worth noting that in this embodiment of the invention, the IGBT shoot-through destructive test, the bypass switch mis-closing destructive test, and the bypass switch failure-to-operate destructive test all include overall assessment-level destructive tests and device assessment-level destructive tests. Specifically, the IGBT shoot-through destructive test simulates the extreme case of simultaneous conduction of the upper and lower IGBTs, verifying whether the system can operate normally or safely enter the protection state under such conditions; the bypass switch mis-closing destructive test simulates the extreme case of a bypass switch mis-closing, verifying whether the system can detect the mis-closing in a timely manner and take protective measures; the bypass switch failure-to-operate destructive test simulates the extreme case of a bypass switch failure to operate, verifying whether the system can detect the failure to operate in a timely manner and take protective measures. The overall assessment-level destructive test aims to verify the overall reliability of the flexible DC converter valve under extreme conditions, while the device assessment-level destructive test aims to verify the reliability of key components in the system. By conducting overall assessment-level and device assessment-level destructive tests, the reliability of the flexible DC converter valve and key components can be comprehensively evaluated, ensuring that the flexible DC converter valve can operate safely and reliably in practical applications.
[0125] It should be noted that the overall assessment-level destructive test is conducted on a complete IGBT test module; the device assessment-level destructive test uses insulating pads, metal blocks, or failed IGBT devices to replace the IGBT devices in the IGBT test module, constructing an equivalent test circuit for testing. Specifically, the device assessment-level destructive test aims to assess the most stringent fault inrush current for various devices, using insulating pads, metal blocks, failed IGBT devices, etc., to design an equivalent test circuit.
[0126] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the test method provided by the present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with specific test implementation steps.
[0127] This invention addresses the issue of overvoltage in UHV flexible DC converter submodules caused by faults within converter stations, leading to large-scale bypassing of submodules. It proposes a destructive testing method for flexible DC converter valves, specifically for UHV flexible DC converter valves, to verify the explosion-proof performance of the converter valve submodules. A detailed description of the test scheme follows.
[0128] Reference Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a destructive test for a flexible DC converter valve provided in an embodiment of the present invention. In specific implementation, the flexible DC converter valve is of the 5kA class. During the test, the DC capacitor discharges through a short-circuit loop, and the stored energy is released instantaneously through the power device and connecting busbar. This may cause the power device to rupture due to electrothermal stress, objects to splash, the busbar to break due to electrodynamic detachment, water pipes to leak due to airflow and splash impact, or the power device to fail and lose its normal current-carrying capacity after an explosion. After the test, the explosion-proof performance of the converter valve submodule can be evaluated in detail according to the above standards. If any of the above situations exist, the test is deemed unsuccessful. Figure 4 As shown, the test method includes three destructive tests: upper and lower IGBT shoot-through, bypass switch mis-closing, and bypass switch failure to operate.
[0129] 1. Destructive test of the upper and lower IGBTs through-through:
[0130] 1) Conduct a destructive test on the upper and lower IGBTs for overall assessment. The test schematic is shown below. Figure 5 As shown:
[0131] Step 1: Shield the desaturation drive protection of the test submodule and charge the test submodule to the predetermined voltage. Actively trigger the conduction of the lower IGBT-VT2 and establish current in the lower IGBT-VT2 through the inductor circuit.
[0132] Step 2: Then the upper IGBT is triggered, and both the upper and lower IGBTs are turned on at the same time, forming a direct short circuit loop. At this time, the capacitor C discharges, and the large short circuit current passes through the upper IGBT-VT1 and the lower IGBT-VT2 in sequence. The release of short circuit energy may cause the power devices of the upper and lower IGBTs to explode.
[0133] Step 3: After the test, a detailed analysis is conducted on the results of the shoot-through destructive test of the upper and lower IGBTs based on whether the module exploded, whether there was water leakage in the cooling system after the explosion, whether there was any splashing of objects, the deformation of components such as the internal busbar of the test sub-module, and the 168-hour current-carrying test of the failed power device IGBT-VT2 of the test sub-module with long-term current carrying capacity under the maximum operating current of the module.
[0134] 2) Conduct a device-level performance test involving the shoot-through destructive operation of the upper and lower IGBTs. The test schematic is shown below. Figure 6 As shown:
[0135] Step 1: Replace the upper IGBT device in the test sample submodule with a metal block;
[0136] Step 2: Charge the submodule capacitor C with a DC power supply until it reaches the preset voltage;
[0137] Step 3: By actively triggering the conduction of the lower IGBT-VT2 device, the upper metal block and the lower IGBT-VT2 form a direct short circuit loop. At this time, the capacitor C discharges, and the large short circuit current passes through the upper metal block and the lower IGBT-VT2 in sequence. The release of short circuit energy may cause the IGBT-VT2 to explode.
[0138] Step 4: After the test, a detailed analysis is conducted on the results of the direct-through destructive test of the upper and lower tubes based on whether the module exploded, whether there was water leakage in the cooling system after the explosion, whether there was any splashing of objects, the deformation of components such as the busbar inside the submodule, and the 168-hour current-carrying test of the failed power device IGBT-VT2 under the maximum operating current of the module.
[0139] 2. Destructive test for accidental closing of bypass switch:
[0140] 1) Conduct a destructive test on the bypass switch for overall assessment due to mis-closing. The test schematic is as follows: Figure 7 As shown:
[0141] Step 1: Configure a bypass switch K in the test submodule to increase the operating voltage of a single submodule to the maximum continuous operating load condition;
[0142] Step 2: When the charging voltage of the test sub-module is not lower than the blocking voltage of the sub-module, with the upper IGBT-VT1 of the converter valve in the on state, a command is issued to close the sub-module bypass switch K. The upper IGBT-VT1 and the bypass switch K form a short circuit circuit. At this time, the capacitor C discharges, and the large short circuit current passes through the upper IGBT-VT1 and the bypass switch K in sequence. The release of short circuit energy may cause the upper IGBT-VT1 to explode.
[0143] Step 3: After the test, a detailed analysis is conducted on the results of the destructive test of the bypass switch mis-closing based on whether the module exploded, whether there was water leakage in the cooling system after the explosion, whether there was any splashing of objects, the deformation of components such as the busbar inside the sub-module, and the 168-hour current-carrying test of the failed power device IGBT-VT1 under the maximum operating current of the module.
[0144] 2) Conduct a destructive test on the bypass switch for device-level evaluation. The test schematic is shown below. Figure 8 As shown:
[0145] Step 1: Replace the upper IGBT-VT1 device in the test sample submodule with a failed IGBT or a metal block;
[0146] Step 2: Configure the bypass switch K on the test submodule to increase the operating voltage of a single submodule to the maximum continuous operating load condition;
[0147] Step 3: When the charging voltage of the test sub-module is not lower than the blocking voltage of the sub-module, with the upper IGBT-VT1 of the converter valve in the on state, a command is issued to close the sub-module bypass switch K. The failed upper IGBT and the bypass switch K form a short circuit circuit. At this time, the capacitor C discharges, and the large short circuit current passes through the failed IGBT and the bypass switch K in sequence. The release of short circuit energy may cause the failed IGBT to explode.
[0148] Step 4: After the test, a detailed analysis is conducted on the results of the destructive test of the bypass switch mis-closing based on whether the module exploded, whether there was water leakage in the cooling system after the explosion, whether there was any splashing of objects, the deformation of components such as the busbar inside the sub-module, and the 168-hour current-carrying test of the failed power device IGBT under the maximum operating current of the module.
[0149] 3. Destructive test for bypass switch failure to operate:
[0150] 1) Conduct an overall bypass switch failure test on the test submodule with IGBTs possessing long-term failure current-carrying capability, i.e., without a transition thyristor. The test schematic is as follows: Figure 9 As shown:
[0151] Step 1: Shield or remove the bypass switch K to disable it;
[0152] Step 2: Continuously apply voltage to the power module to charge the sub-module capacitor voltage to the preset voltage until the upper and lower power devices are over-voltaged and break down, resulting in a short circuit. At this time, capacitor C discharges, and the large short-circuit current passes through the broken IGBTs or anti-parallel diodes in sequence. The release of short-circuit energy may cause the failed power devices to explode.
[0153] Step 3: After the test, a detailed analysis is conducted on the results of the destructive test of the bypass switch mis-closing based on whether the module exploded, whether there was water leakage in the cooling system after the explosion, whether there were objects splashing, the deformation of components such as the busbar inside the sub-module, and the 168-hour current-carrying test of the failed power device IGBT under the maximum operating current of the module.
[0154] 2) Conduct a device-level bypass switch failure test on the test submodule with IGBTs possessing long-term failure current-carrying capability, i.e., without a transition thyristor. The test schematic is shown below. Figure 10 As shown:
[0155] Step 1: Shield or remove the bypass switch K to disable the bypass switch K;
[0156] Step 2: Replace the upper IGBT-VT1 device of the test sample submodule with an insulating block;
[0157] Step 3: Continuously apply voltage to the power module to charge the sub-module capacitor voltage to the preset voltage until the upper and lower power devices are over-voltaged and break down, presenting a short circuit state. At this time, the capacitor C discharges, and the large short circuit current passes through the broken down anti-parallel diode D1 of the upper tube and the broken down IGBT-VT1 power device in sequence. The release of short circuit energy may cause the failed power device to explode.
[0158] Step 4: After the test, a detailed analysis is conducted on the results of the destructive test of the bypass switch mis-closing based on whether the module exploded, whether there was water leakage in the cooling system after the explosion, whether there was any splashing of objects, the deformation of components such as the busbar inside the submodule, and the 168-hour current-carrying test of the failed power device under the maximum operating current of the module.
[0159] 3) For IGBTs that do not possess long-term failure current carrying capacity, i.e., test submodules equipped with transition thyristors, conduct an overall bypass switch failure test. The test schematic is shown below. Figure 11 As shown:
[0160] Step 1: Disconnect the bypass switch K closing circuit of the power module in the test sample sub-module to simulate switch failure;
[0161] Step 2: Continuously apply pressure to the power module until the turnaround thyristor T, upper IGBT-VT1 or anti-parallel diode D1 of the test sub-module are over-voltage broken down and short-circuited. At this time, capacitor C discharges and the large short-circuit current passes through the broken-down power device and the turnaround thyristor T in sequence. The release of short-circuit energy may cause the failed power device to explode.
[0162] Step 3: After the test, a detailed analysis is conducted on the results of the destructive test of the bypass switch mis-closing based on whether the module exploded, whether there was water leakage in the cooling system after the explosion, whether there was any splashing of objects, the deformation of components such as the busbar inside the submodule, and the 168-hour current-carrying test of the failed power device under the maximum operating current of the module.
[0163] 4) For IGBTs that lack long-term failure current carrying capacity (i.e., those equipped with a transition thyristor), a device-level bypass switch failure test is conducted. The test schematic is shown below. Figure 12 As shown:
[0164] Step 1: Shield or remove the bypass switch K to disable it;
[0165] Step 2: Replace the upper and lower IGBT devices in the test sample sub-module with insulating blocks;
[0166] Step 3: Continuously apply pressure to the power module until the test module's transition thyristor T and upper anti-parallel diode D1 break down due to overvoltage, resulting in a short circuit. At this time, capacitor C discharges, and the large short-circuit current passes through the broken-down upper anti-parallel diode D1 and transition thyristor T in sequence. The release of short-circuit energy may cause the failed power device to explode.
[0167] Step 4: After the test, a detailed analysis is conducted on the results of the destructive test of the bypass switch mis-closing based on whether the module exploded, whether there was water leakage in the cooling system after the explosion, whether there was any splashing of objects, the deformation of components such as the busbar inside the submodule, and the 168-hour current-carrying test of the failed power device under the maximum operating current of the module.
[0168] In summary, the destructive testing method for a flexible DC converter valve provided by this invention firstly categorizes module destructive tests into three types based on the actual operating conditions of the flexible DC converter valve: upper and lower IGBT shoot-through test, bypass switch mis-closing test, and bypass switch failure test. Secondly, for sub-modules where the IGBTs lack long-term current carrying capacity and are equipped with a transition thyristor, bypass failure and upper and lower IGBT shoot-through tests are conducted. Then, for sub-modules where the IGBTs possess long-term current carrying capacity but are not equipped with a transition thyristor, bypass mis-closing, bypass failure, and upper and lower IGBT shoot-through tests are conducted. Finally, considering more stringent test conditions, all tests are divided into overall assessment-level destructive tests using a complete module and device assessment-level destructive tests using an equivalent test circuit. Based on simulating the actual operating conditions of the converter valve, an equivalent test circuit is constructed using insulating pads, metal blocks, etc., avoiding the current sharing phenomenon between the IGBTs and anti-parallel diodes. This allows for the assessment of the device's explosion-proof performance under the most stringent conditions, improving the effectiveness of the test conclusions and possessing industrial application value.
