Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of composite device with multi-port direct current flow and short circuit current control function, mainly for multi-terminal direct current transmission occasion, it is related to power electronics, belongs to the technical field of power generation, transformation or distribution. BACKGROUND

[0002] Multi-Terminal Direct Current (MTDC) refers to a DC transmission network composed of three or more converter stations. This system not only enables multi-source power supply and multi-point power reception, but also exhibits higher flexibility compared to traditional two-terminal DC transmission systems. MTDC technology is considered one of the effective means to address the challenges of large-scale renewable energy grid connection, transmission corridor resource shortage, and high-capacity long-distance power transmission in China. In the MTDC system, converter stations are connected in series (Series Connection), parallel (Parallel Connection), or hybrid (Hybrid Connection) to meet the efficient transmission and flexible allocation of electric energy. Voltage Source Converter (VSC) is an advanced converter technology that has significant advantages over traditional Current Source Converter (CSC). In particular, during power flow reversal, VSC can quickly switch the direction of DC current without changing the voltage polarity, and it avoids the problem of commutation failure. Therefore, VSC is more conducive to the construction of Voltage Source Converter-based Multi-Terminal High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-MTDC), thereby further improving the flexibility and reliability of the transmission system.

[0003] Figure 1The equivalent circuit of a typical ring-type four-terminal VSC-MTDC system is shown. It is assumed that VSC1, VSC2 and VSC3 are the converter stations of three offshore wind farms, and they operate in the constant power mode, while VSC0 is the onshore converter station, which operates in the constant voltage mode, at this time, the power is transmitted from VSC1, VSC2 and VSC3 to VSC0. In view of the problems of DC power flow control and fault current suppression existing in the DC power transmission system, the DC power flow controller (DCPFC) and the DC current breaker (DCCB) are usually introduced into the DC power transmission system to enhance the power flow direction control ability of the transmission line and the regulation ability of the line transmission power in the DC power transmission network.

[0004] Since there is no problem of reactive power, reactance and phase angle in the DC power grid, the power flow regulation is mainly realized by changing the voltage and resistance value. Therefore, the existing DC power flow controller is mainly divided into two types of resistance type and voltage type. The resistance type controller scheme has simple structure, but its regulation ability is limited, it can only realize one-way power flow regulation, and the on-state loss is large. The voltage type controller includes three types of DC transformer, series adjustable voltage source and inter-line power flow controller. The DC transformer changes the line voltage by being connected in series in the line, and then realizes the power flow regulation, but this method needs to withstand the high voltage and large power at the system level, which increases the cost and the complexity of the system. Although the series adjustable voltage source does not need to withstand high voltage directly, it needs to interact with the external power source, which increases the complexity of the system. In order to simplify the system structure and avoid the use of additional power source, researchers have proposed the inter-line power flow controller, which can make the power flow transfer between different lines through a reasonable design scheme, so as to realize flexible power flow regulation, which improves the reliability of the system and reduces the complexity of the system.

[0005] In addition, the line impedance of the DC power grid is extremely low, so small voltage changes can cause large current changes, therefore, it is particularly important to develop a fast current limiting and short-circuit breaking device for the DC power grid. At present, the existing short-circuit current limiting device is mainly applied to the AC power grid, which mostly relies on the natural zero point of AC current to realize breaking. However, in the DC power grid, there is no natural zero point during short circuit, so the breaking process becomes extremely difficult, which is difficult to meet the high requirements of safety and reliability of the DC power grid. The current research mainly focuses on the hybrid DC circuit breaker based on power electronic technology, which can effectively cut off the short-circuit current through fast response and precise control. At the same time, there are also studies on limiting the peak value and rising rate of fault current by connecting a current limiting circuit in series in the power grid, so as to reduce the impact of short circuit on the power grid.

[0006] However, the current research and development of the device for direct current flow control and short circuit control are often independent of each other, and the composite control strategy of short circuit and flow is rarely involved. The separated research and application mode leads to the disadvantages of relatively high cost, large device size and inconvenience of unified control. The patent CN201710341926.0 proposes a composite device with direct current flow and short circuit control, however, the composite device can only be applied to the flow regulation between two ports, and has no specific expansibility. In addition, the device involving the composite control strategy of short circuit and flow needs more switching tubes to realize the flow control, and most of the fault current flows through the fault transfer branch during short circuit, and the loss caused by the multiple switching tubes increases the cost of the multi-terminal direct current transmission system. SUMMARY

[0007] The present application aims to solve the technical problems of the composite device with flow control and short circuit control functions in the current multi-terminal direct current transmission system, such as large loss and large current stress of the fault transfer branch, and to realize the coordinated management of flow and short circuit in the direct current grid through the integrated composite device, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the multi-terminal direct current transmission system, reducing the cost, and enhancing the safety and reliability of the system.

[0020] Power flow control strategy: When no fault occurs, the first coupled inductor control switch and each short-circuit current limiting switch are closed, and the power flow control device is put into operation. The control method is as follows: the DC current of the DC transmission line where two of the adjustable voltage sources are located is collected; a current reference value is set; the current reference value is subtracted from the collected DC current of the transmission line. The difference is passed through the PI link and a logical operation to obtain the PWM switching signal of the n line switches. This makes the n power flow branches operate in a complementary conduction state and maintains the DC transmission line current at a given value.

When a DC line fault occurs, the capacitor serving as the adjustable voltage source is cut off from the line through the short-circuit current limiting switch, so that the fault current flows through the coupled inductor, and the fault current is suppressed before the circuit breaker is operated, thereby effectively reducing the current stress of the fault transfer branch.

The first switch tube Q i1 is reversely connected in parallel between a current input end and a current output end with a first diode D i1 , the second switch tube Q i2 is reversely connected in parallel between a current input end and a current output end with a second diode D i2 , and the i short-circuit current limiting switch BS i is a bidirectional switch. As shown in Fig. 3(b), the i fault transfer branch MB i is composed of a bidirectional switch and an arrester SA connected in parallel with the bidirectional switch.

[0050] When the first coupling inductance control switch T1, the second coupling inductance control switch T2 and the first DC transmission line first switch tube Q i1 , the second DC transmission line second switch tube Q i2 are all turned off, and the first bypass switch S1, the second bypass switch S2 and the third bypass switch S3 are all closed, the power flow control part of the composite device is bypassed and does not participate in the DC power flow regulation; when all the DC transmission line currents of the DC power flow controller are forward operation, n complementary conduction DC power flow branches are included, each DC power flow branch is sequentially connected by the i capacitor C i , the i bidirectional switch BS i , the first coupling inductance L1, the first coupling inductance control switch T1, the first switch tube Q i1 , the second diode D i2 ; the energy between the capacitors connected in series in each DC transmission line is transmitted through the first coupling inductance L1 between the DC power flow branches; when all the DC transmission line currents of the composite device are reverse operation, each DC power flow branch is sequentially connected by the second coupling inductance L2, the second coupling inductance control switch T2, the first diode D i1 , the second switch tube Q i2 , the i capacitor C i and the i bidirectional switch BS i ; when the DC transmission line currents of the composite device are both forward operation and reverse operation, when the forward operation line transmits energy to the reverse operation line, the energy in the first coupling inductance L1 is transmitted to the second coupling inductance L2 by turning off the first coupling inductance control switch T1 and closing the second coupling inductance control switch T2, and then the energy is transmitted to the capacitor connected in series in the reverse operation line by the second coupling inductance L2; when a short-circuit fault occurs in the DC transmission line 1 of the composite device, the first coupling inductance control switch T1 and the second coupling inductance control switch T2 are closed, and the power flow control switch Q i1 -Q i2 , then the switches in the fault transfer branch MB1-MB n are closed and the first fault transfer branch MB1 is turned off after a short time, and finally the first fault transfer branch MB1 is turned off, so that the fault line is cut off.

[0051] The DC power flow controller has regulation and control capability to accurately control the size of the current on the three DC transmission lines; when the composite device shown in FIG. 3(c) is used, the four-terminal flexible DC power transmission system including the composite device of the present application is shown in FIG. 3(d), VSC0 is a constant voltage station, VSC1, VSC2 and VSC3 are constant power stations, and the composite device is connected in series at the DC port of VSC0 to realize DC power flow regulation and fault current suppression.

The resulting difference is processed through a PI element to achieve accurate regulation of the error. The difference processed through the PI element is processed by a logic operation unit to generate PWM switching signals for the first switching tubes Q 11 , Q 21 , and Q 31 in the three DC transmission lines. The PWM switching signals ensure that the three DC current branches work in a complementary conduction state, thereby effectively maintaining the transmission line current at a given value. The three DC current branches working in a complementary conduction state means, for example, that when the first switching tube Q 11 in the first DC transmission line is turned on, the first switching tube Q 21 in the second DC transmission line and the first switching tube Q 31 in the third DC transmission line are all turned off.

[0052] The control characteristics of the composite device with DC current flow control and DC short-circuit current control for the DC power grid are analyzed below by taking two typical operating conditions as examples.

[0053] 1. Current flow control function

[0054] According to the current flow direction and line control requirements, the first coupled inductor control switch T1 is always closed. First, the first switching tube Q 11 in the first DC transmission line is turned on, and the energy in the first capacitor C1 is transferred to the first coupled inductor L1. The specific mode is shown in Figure 5 . Subsequently, the first switching tube Q 21 in the second DC transmission line is turned on, and the energy in the second capacitor C2 is transferred to the first coupled inductor L1. The specific mode is shown in Figure 6 . Finally, the first switching tube Q 31 in the third DC transmission line is turned on, and the energy in the first coupled inductor L1 is transferred to the third capacitor C3. The specific mode is shown in Figure 7 . In this way, the power P is transferred from the first adjustable voltage source V C1 , the first adjustable voltage source V C2 to the third adjustable voltage source V C3 , so that the line current is maintained at a given current reference value Iref.

[0055] 2. Short-circuit current suppression function

[0056] When a DC fault occurs in the first DC transmission line, the flow control switch Q 11 -Q 32The first coupled inductor control switch T1 and the second coupled inductor control switch T2 are turned on, and then the first capacitor control switch BS1, the second capacitor control switch BS2 and the third capacitor control switch BS3 are turned off. Figure 8 As shown in Figure 1, all fault currents now pass through the first coupled inductor L1 and the second coupled inductor L2, suppressing the current rise rate of the first DC transmission line. Simultaneously, the capacitors connected in series to each DC transmission line are removed from the line, ensuring reliable operation of the capacitors. Subsequently, the first fault transfer branch MB1, the second fault transfer branch MB2, and the third fault transfer branch MB3 are activated, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 9 After that, the power flow controller switch Q corresponding to the fault line, i.e., the first DC transmission line, is disconnected. 11 , Q 12 ,like Figure 10 Finally, the switch in the first fault transfer branch is closed to remove the fault line from the system, as shown in Figure 11 shown.

[0057] The technical solution of the present invention is described below through two specific examples:

[0058] Implementing the above example requires Figure 1 In the four-terminal ring network flexible DC transmission system shown in Figure 1, VSC0 operates in constant voltage mode, controlling V1 to 400 kV. VSC1, VSC2, and VSC3 operate in constant power mode, injecting P1 = 540 MW, P2 = 360 MW, and P3 = 180 MW into the system, respectively. The parameters of the DC transmission line are shown in Table 1.

[0061] In Example 1, the device was put into use before t=4s, and the first DC transmission line current I1 and the second DC transmission line current I2 were controlled to 0.80kA and 1.50kA respectively. At t=4s, the reference value of I1 was changed to 0.50kA, while the reference value of I2 remained unchanged. Figure 12 The current waveforms of lines 1, 2, and 3 are given in Figure 13 The adjustable voltage source V C1 、V C2 、V C3 It can be seen from the above waveforms that the DC power flow controller of the present invention can achieve the predetermined control target, and the voltage of the adjustable voltage source can be stabilized at a constant value.

[0062] In example 2, before t=6s, the four-terminal DC power transmission system is in normal operation state, and the composite device is in operation for power flow control. At t=6s, a ground fault occurs in transmission line 1, the fault current suppression part of the composite device is put into operation, and the rising rate of the fault current is suppressed first, and then the fault line is cut off from the system. Figure 14 The current waveforms of lines 1, 2 and 3 are shown in FIG. 2, Figure 15 The port voltage waveforms of the sending-end converter station are shown in FIG. 3.
