DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Embodiment 1: like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown: The present invention proposes an H-bridge topology structure, including: an H-bridge branch, an energy consumption branch and a bypass branch; the H-bridge branch includes: a first fully-controlled device T1, a second fully-controlled device T2, a first unidirectional conductive element D1, a second unidirectional conductive element D2 and a capacitor Ch; After the positive electrode of the first fully-controlled device and the first unidirectional conducting element are connected in forward series, the second fully-controlled device and the second unidirectional conducting element are connected in reverse series in sequence; the two ends of the capacitor and the energy-consuming branch after being connected in parallel are respectively connected to the connection point between the first unidirectional conducting element and the second fully-controlled device, and the connection point between the second unidirectional conducting element and the first fully-controlled device.

[0026] The above-mentioned H-bridge topology structure is divided into three parts according to functional division: H-bridge branch, bypass branch and energy-consuming branch: (1) The H-bridge branch is composed of fully-controlled devices (such as the first fully-controlled device and the second fully-controlled device), unidirectional conductive elements (such as the first unidirectional conductive element and the second unidirectional conductive element) and capacitors, forming an H-bridge structure in the form of two branches connected in parallel, which effectively reduces the current carrying capacity of the fully-controlled device; (2) The energy-consuming branch is composed of fully-controlled devices (such as the third fully-controlled device) and resistors in series, which is effective in AC fault current conditions. By real-time monitoring of the capacitor voltage, when the capacitor voltage exceeds the preset voltage Ua, the third full-control device is controlled to be turned on; when the capacitor voltage is lower than the minimum preset voltage Ub, the third full-control device is controlled to be turned off to charge the capacitor, thereby effectively controlling the voltage across the capacitor and ensuring that there is no overvoltage risk in the components in the H-bridge topology. The H-bridge topology of the present invention does not need to be connected to a lightning arrester for voltage limiting; (3) The bypass branch is connected in parallel at both ends of the H-bridge, which can realize controllable commutation mode operation, greatly improving the long-term operation reliability of the H-bridge topology.

[0027] The fully controlled device can be composed of one or more devices such as IGBT, IGCT (Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor), IEGT (Injection Enhanced Gate Transistor, IGBT series power electronic devices with a withstand voltage of more than 4KV), GTO (gate turn-off thyristor) or MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor). The H-bridge topology uses mature IGBT devices and diodes to form H-bridge branches, forming a natural parallel structure, which can meet the overload requirements of UHV DC projects.

[0028] The above-mentioned unidirectional conducting element is a diode or a thyristor. For example, the first unidirectional conducting element is a diode or a thyristor, and the second unidirectional conducting element is a diode or a thyristor. Figure 1 In the H-bridge topology structure, the first unidirectional conductive element D1 and the second unidirectional conductive element D2 are diodes; Figure 2 In the H-bridge topology structure, the first unidirectional conducting element D1 and the second unidirectional conducting element D2 are thyristors.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the energy consumption branch is any one of the following three structures; like Figure 3As shown in (a), the first structure of the energy consumption branch includes: a resistor Rc and a third fully-controlled device T3, wherein the positive electrode of the third fully-controlled device is connected in series with one end of the resistor; and then Figure 2 In the connection mode shown, the cathode of the third fully-controlled device is connected to the connection point between the second unidirectional conducting element and the first fully-controlled device, and the other end of the resistor is connected to the connection point between the first unidirectional conducting element and the second fully-controlled device.

[0030] like Figure 3 (b) shows the second structure of the energy consumption branch, wherein the energy consumption branch comprises: a resistor, a third fully-controlled device and a diode, wherein the anode of the third fully-controlled device is connected to the anode of the diode, and the resistor is connected in parallel with the diode; and then Figure 2 In the connection mode shown, the cathode of the third fully-controlled device is connected to the connection point between the second unidirectional conductive element and the first fully-controlled device, and the cathode of the diode is connected to the connection point between the first unidirectional conductive element and the second fully-controlled device.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown in (c), the third structure of the energy consumption branch includes: a resistor, a third fully-controlled device and a fuse, wherein the positive electrode of the third fully-controlled device is connected in series with one end of the resistor, and the other end of the resistor is connected in series with one end of the fuse, and then Figure 2 In the connection mode shown, the negative electrode of the third fully-controlled device is connected to the connection point between the second unidirectional conductive element and the first fully-controlled device, and the other end of the fuse is connected to the connection point between the first unidirectional conductive element and the second fully-controlled device.

[0032] In order to effectively suppress the influence of the stray inductance generated in the energy consumption branch on the turn-off overshoot stress of the third fully controlled device, a diode can be connected in parallel at both ends of the resistor in the energy consumption branch, such as Figure 3 As shown in (a), it can ensure that the energy-consuming branch can be opened reliably and the fuse can also be connected in series with the resistor.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to effectively suppress the current change rate (di / dt) level of the H-bridge topology structure when the bypass branch is opened, the bypass branch can be adopted as follows Figure 4 (a) shows the thyristor series saturated reactor form, such as Figure 4 (b) The thyristor series inductor form, such as Figure 4 (c) Any of the bypass switch types shown.

[0034] In summary, the H-bridge topology is composed of power electronic devices with current shutoff and forward and reverse voltage blocking capabilities, and also has a bypass branch, which is composed of thyristors or their auxiliary devices. The H-bridge topology has the ability to withstand forward and reverse voltages and forms a natural parallel structure, which effectively reduces the selection requirements of the first fully controlled device, the second fully controlled device, and the third fully controlled device, and can meet the needs of large-scale new energy transmission scenarios through ultra-high voltage direct current.

[0035] Embodiment 2: An embodiment of the present invention also provides a main branch full-control valve, including multiple H-bridge topology structures shown in the above-mentioned embodiment 1. The multiple H-bridge topology structures can be connected in any of the three structural forms: internal series form, series and parallel combination form, and overall series form to form a main branch full-control valve.

[0036] For the internal series structure, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first fully-controlled device, the second fully-controlled device, the first unidirectional conductive element, the second unidirectional conductive element, the capacitor, the energy-consuming branch and the bypass branch in the H-bridge branches in the H-bridge topology are connected in series respectively, forming a main branch fully-controlled valve in series inside the H-bridge topology structure, which saves space and can achieve a compact design.

[0037] For the structural forms of series and parallel combination, such as Figure 6 As shown, a main branch full-control valve comprises: a plurality of H-bridge topology structures and a plurality of thyristors; after the connection point of the second full-control device and the second unidirectional conduction element in one H-bridge topology structure and the connection point of the first full-control device and the first unidirectional conduction element in another H-bridge topology structure are sequentially connected in series, a plurality of thyristors in series are connected in parallel as a whole. A main branch full-control valve in the form of a series and parallel combination is formed, and a single H-bridge topology structure in this structure can be controlled by a bypass branch when a fault occurs.

[0038] For the overall series structure, such as Figure 7 As shown, a main branch full-control valve comprises: a plurality of H-bridge topology structures; a connection point between a second full-control device and a second unidirectional conductive element in one H-bridge topology structure and a connection point between a first full-control device and a first unidirectional conductive element in another H-bridge topology structure are sequentially connected in series. A main branch full-control valve in the form of an overall series connection of H-bridge topology structures is formed, and a single H-bridge topology structure in this structure is controlled by bypassing, respectively, without adding bypass switch devices.

[0039] Embodiment 3: like Figure 8As shown, the present invention proposes a controllable converter, including: a bridge arm connected in parallel in a three-phase power system, each phase bridge arm including: a plurality of valves connected in series (for example, Figure 8 V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6); the valve includes: a main branch, a main lightning arrester Arr1, and an auxiliary branch; The main branch, the main arrester and the auxiliary branch are connected in parallel; The main branch includes: the main branch full-control valve as described in the above embodiment 2; The auxiliary branch includes: a plurality of high-pressure full-control valves V13 and V14 connected in series, the high-pressure full-control valve V13 has a variable resistor Arr3 inside, the high-pressure full-control valve V14 has a variable resistor Arr4 inside, and an auxiliary saturated reactor Thy4.

[0040] The controllable converter of the present invention is a new type of high-voltage direct current commutation equipment based on a converter (LCC). It adopts a mixed connection of full / half-controlled devices to form a topological structure of parallel connection of the main and auxiliary branches. This topology maintains the thyristor as the main current-passing element, giving full play to its advantages of large transmission capacity, low loss and high economy. At the same time, a small number of fully controlled devices and main thyristor valves can be connected in series in the main branch. The main thyristor valve V11 includes a thyristor Thy1 and a main saturated reactor to realize current transfer and provide a negative turn-off voltage for the thyristor in the main branch. When an AC fault occurs, the current is transferred from the main branch to the auxiliary branch. After the main branch is turned off, the high-voltage fully controlled valve V13 or high-voltage fully controlled valve V14 in the auxiliary branch is actively turned off, and the current is transferred to the arrester. The arrester establishes an action voltage, enhances the commutation voltage, and realizes forced commutation. The main arrester is used to limit the impact overvoltage of the entire single valve. It fundamentally solves the commutation failure problem of conventional power grid commutation converters.

[0041] Furthermore, the main branch also includes: a main saturated reactor and a thyristor; The main saturated reactor, the thyristor and the main branch full-control valve are connected in series in a forward direction in sequence.

[0042] The main branch full-control valve is connected to the main saturated reactor to limit the current change rate (di / dt) when the main branch full-control valve is opened, thereby protecting the thyristor; Furthermore, the converter further comprises: a central controller; the central controller is connected to the first fully-controlled device, the second fully-controlled device, the third fully-controlled device, the capacitor, and the bypass branch in the main branch fully-controlled valve via an optical fiber; When an AC fault occurs, the central controller controls the triggering or shutting down of the first fully-controlled device, the second fully-controlled device, and the third fully-controlled device to implement forced commutation for detecting the voltage of the capacitor.

[0043] The above-mentioned central controller is intended to realize control over the first full-control device, the second full-control device, the third full-control device, the capacitor, and the bypass branch in the main branch full-control valve, realize control over the converter in various working conditions, and especially realize forced commutation of the converter when an AC fault occurs.

[0044] Embodiment 4: like Fig. 9 As shown, the present invention also proposes a control method for a controllable converter, comprising: Step 1: using a central controller in the controllable converter to determine an operation mode of the controllable converter based on the actual operating condition of the controllable converter, wherein the operation mode includes a conventional commutation mode and / or a controllable commutation mode; Step 1.1: When the controllable converter is in the normal commutation mode, the first fully-controlled device, the second fully-controlled device, and the third fully-controlled device in the main branch fully-controlled valve in the controllable converter are controlled to be in a locked state, and the bypass branch in the main branch fully-controlled valve is controlled to be periodically opened or closed; Step 1.2.1: When the controllable converter is in the normal operating condition of the controllable commutation mode, the first fully-controlled device and the second fully-controlled device are controlled to be synchronously periodically turned on or off, and the third fully-controlled device and the bypass branch are controlled to be in a locked state; Step 1.2.2: When the controllable converter is in the AC fault condition of the controllable commutation mode, the first fully-controlled device and the second fully-controlled device are controlled to be turned off and the bypass branch is locked; when the voltage of the capacitor in the controllable converter is greater than the preset voltage, the energy-consuming branch in the controllable converter is controlled to be turned on to prevent the controllable converter from overvoltage and / or commutation failure.

[0045] Further, in step 1.2.1, when the controllable converter is in the normal operating condition of the controllable commutation mode, controlling the first fully-controlled device and the second fully-controlled device to be synchronously periodically turned on or off, and controlling the third fully-controlled device and the bypass branch to be in a locked state, includes: When the controllable converter is in the normal operating condition of the controllable commutation mode, the voltage of the capacitor in the controllable converter is periodically selected and the voltage is transmitted to the valve in the controllable converter; so that the valve adaptively adjusts the on or off period of the first fully-controlled device and the second fully-controlled device within a preset voltage range according to the voltage.

[0046] The control method of the controllable converter of the present invention mainly includes: a controllable commutation mode and a conventional commutation mode; (1) The controllable commutation modes include: normal operation mode and AC fault operation mode. The two operation modes are as follows: In the two operating modes of the controllable commutation mode, the valve sends a switch command to the H-bridge topology structure to execute the switch command of the first fully-controlled device, the second fully-controlled device, and the third fully-controlled device.

[0047] like Fig.10 As shown, t 0、 t 1、 Time t2 is the triggering time of the main branch full control valve, t 0ff、 t 0ff1、 t 0ff2 The moment is the closing moment of the main branch full-control valve, t is the time, in the normal operation mode, the central controller synchronously and periodically triggers the first full-control device T1 and the second full-control device T2, the control period is dT=20ms, according to the control signal of the valve, after the dT1 time period, the first full-control device T1 and the second full-control device T2 are synchronously closed, the dT1 time period is selected to be related to the voltage of the root capacitor Ch, the specific relationship is: the capacitor voltage is collected by the central controller and uploaded to the valve, and the valve adaptively adjusts the dT1 value according to the preset voltage range (U1, U2) When the capacitor voltage is higher than U2, dT1 increases by Δt1, that is, dT1+Δt1, Δt1 is the delay adjustment accuracy, which is related to the capacitor voltage change rate. When the capacitor voltage is lower than U1, dT1 decreases by Δt2, that is, dT1-Δt2, Δt1 is the advance adjustment accuracy, which is related to the capacitor voltage change rate, so that the capacitor voltage falls within the preset voltage range (U1, U2), and then operates stably according to the control method; during operation, the third fully-controlled device T3 and the bypass branch P1 are in a locked state, and the control will only be started when a fault occurs.

[0048] As mentioned above, the purpose of setting the voltage range is: 1) to ensure that the maximum voltage of the main branch full-control valve does not exceed the voltage U2 during long-term operation, so as to prevent excessive voltage from affecting the long-term operation reliability of the device; 2) the long-term operation voltage is higher than U1 to ensure that there is enough voltage for the main thyristor, so that the reverse shutdown voltage is conducive to the recovery of the thyristor.

[0049] like Fig.11 As shown, t 0、 t 1、 Time t2 is the triggering time of the main branch full control valve, t 0ff、 t 0ff1、 t 0ff2The time is the time when the main branch full-control valve is turned off, and t is the time. In the AC fault condition operation mode, the first full-control device T1 and the second full-control device T2 will turn off the large current. At this time, the third full-control device T3 of the energy-consuming branch is directly controlled by the central controller. When the first full-control device T1 and the second full-control device T2 are turned off, the capacitor Ch is charged. Ua is the turn-on voltage threshold of the third full-control device T3; Ub is the turn-off voltage threshold of the third full-control device T3. When the central controller monitors the capacitor voltage UCh≥Ua, Ua>U2, the third full-control device T3 is turned on. When UCh≤Ub, the third full-control device T3 is turned off, and the bypass branch is in a locked state. Only when the H-bridge structure fails, the bypass branch P1 is started to perform the overvoltage protection function to ensure that the components in the H-bridge structure will not be damaged.

[0050] (2) Conventional commutation mode like Fig.12 As shown, t is the time. When the conventional commutation mode is in operation, the first fully-controlled device T1, the second fully-controlled device T2, and the third fully-controlled device T3 are all in a locked state. The thyristor in the bypass branch P1 is periodically triggered according to the control command issued by the valve, and the conduction interval is dT2=6.67ms.
