[0029] After the test arm current signal is emitted at the bridge arm current output port, the test arm current signal is divided into a third test signal and a third auxiliary test signal by the beam splitter. The third test signal passes through the test link of the valve-controlled fast protection link, and the third auxiliary test signal passes through the auxiliary test link of the valve-controlled fast protection link and is connected to the operation terminal oscilloscope.

[0053] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0054] Example 1:

[0055] Please see Figure 1 The link delay testing method for a flexible DC valve-controlled system provided in this embodiment of the invention includes:

[0056] Step 101: Determine the link delay type based on the start and end points of the link through which the signal passes.

[0057] Step 102: Determine the type of test signal used to test link delay, the test starting point for emitting the test signal, the link through which the test signal passes, and the test tool used to capture the test signal after the test signal passes through the link, based on the link delay type.

[0058] Step 103: When the test tool detects a change in the level of the test signal, record the moment of the level change.

[0059] Step 104: Calculate the link delay of the flexible DC valve control system based on the timing of the level change.

[0060] Example 2, please refer to Figure 3 :

[0061] When the link delay type is valve-controlled downlink control link delay, the link delay test method of the flexible DC valve-controlled system of the present invention includes:

[0062] Set the test signal type to test modulated wave signal, set the test start point to the communication terminal where the polar controller sends out the test modulated wave signal, set the test tool to the operation terminal oscilloscope, and set the beam splitter.

[0063] After the test modulation wave signal is sent from the communication terminal, the test modulation wave signal is split into a first test signal and a first auxiliary test signal by the optical splitter. The first test signal passes through the test link of the valve-controlled downlink control link, and the first auxiliary test signal passes through the auxiliary test link of the valve-controlled downlink control link and is connected to the oscilloscope of the operation terminal.

[0064] When the oscilloscope on the operating terminal captures the level changes of the first measured signal and the first auxiliary measured signal, the time of the level change is recorded, and the delay of the downlink control link of the valve control is calculated based on the time of the level change. The expression is as follows:

[0065] ;

[0066] In the formula, For the delay of the downlink control link of valve control, The moment of the first level step of the measured signal. This is the time of the level step of the first test signal. This is the time required for the first test signal to be converted into an electrical signal in the optical / electrical signal conversion board. This refers to the turn-on / turn-off time of the IGBT device.

[0067] Among them, the tested link of the valve-controlled downlink control link is: a link consisting of the valve-controlled main control board, the bridge arm operation board, the switching board, the pulse distribution board, the power module control board, and the IGBT driver board in sequence.

[0068] The accompanying test link for the valve-controlled downlink is: an optical / electrical signal conversion board.

[0069] The principle of Example 2 is explained as follows:

[0070] It should be noted that the downlink control link delay of valve control... This refers to the time elapsed from the moment the modulated wave is sent from the polarity controller to the flexible DC valve control system, through the processing and generation of the IGBT trigger command (Ton / Toff) for each power module by the valve control system, until the IGBT device in the power module actually completes the execution of the trigger command. However, the downlink control link delay directly affects the control response speed and resonance risk of the flexible DC valve control system. A longer delay results in a slower control response, thus increasing the risk of resonance with the system. Therefore, comprehensive and accurate testing of the downlink control link delay of the valve control system is necessary.

[0071] To address this, the present invention provides a test method for the downlink control link delay of valve-controlled systems, specifically:

[0072] like Figure 2As shown, the test starts at the communication terminal where the polar controller emits the test modulation wave signal. During the test, the polar controller first emits the test modulation wave signal (this signal is a periodic optical signal with a period of T1; 50% of the time in one period is a fixed high-level output signal, and the remaining 50% of the time is a fixed zero-level output signal). This signal is first split into two identical optical signals after passing through a beam splitter (one is called the test signal (first test signal), and the other is called the companion signal (first companion signal)). The test signal passes sequentially through the valve control main control board, bridge arm operation board, switching board, pulse distribution board, power module control board, and IGBT driver board, and is finally output from the IGBT driver board as a drive electrical signal and connected to the terminal oscilloscope. The companion signal is directly output as an electrical signal through the optical / electrical signal conversion board and is also connected to the terminal oscilloscope. The terminal oscilloscope is used to find the moments when the test signal instantly steps from a negative level to a positive level (or from a positive level to a negative level) and when the companion signal instantly steps from a zero level to a high level (or from a high level to a zero level). , Then the downlink control link delay of valve control is:

[0073] ;

[0074] In the formula, For the delay of the downlink control link of valve control, The moment of the first level step of the measured signal. This is the time of the level step of the first test signal. The time required for the first test signal to be converted into an electrical signal in the optical / electrical signal conversion board (determined by the board design, usually around 0.5µs). This refers to the turn-on / turn-off time of the IGBT device (typically around 10µs).

[0075] Example 3, please refer to Figure 4 :

[0076] When the link delay type is the uplink delay of module voltage, the link delay test method of the flexible DC valve-controlled system of the present invention includes:

[0077] Set the test signal type to test voltage signal, set the test start point to the sampling circuit input port of the module control board, set the test tool to an online logic analyzer, and set up two parallel output circuits.

[0078] When the test voltage signal is sent out at the input port of the sampling circuit of the module control board, the test voltage signal is divided into the second test signal and the second auxiliary test signal through two parallel output circuits. The second test signal passes through the test link of the module voltage uplink, and the second auxiliary test signal passes through the auxiliary test link of the module voltage uplink, and is connected to the online logic analyzer.

[0079] When the online logic analyzer detects the level changes of the second measured signal and the second accompanying measured signal, it records the time of the level change and calculates the delay of the module voltage transmission link based on the time of the level change. The expression is as follows:

[0080] ;

[0081] In the formula, This is the delay in the uplink of the module voltage transmission link. The step time of the second measured signal. This is the time of the level step of the second test signal. This is the time required for the second test signal to be converted into an optical signal in the optical / electrical signal conversion board.

[0082] Among them, the measured link of the module voltage uplink is: a link consisting of the power module control board sampling circuit, the power module control board chip, the pulse distribution board, the switching board, the bridge arm operation board, and the valve control main control board in sequence.

[0083] The accompanying test link for the module voltage transmission link is: through the optical / electrical signal conversion board.

[0084] The principle of Example 3 is explained as follows:

[0085] It should be noted that the module voltage uplink delay Tup refers to the time from when the sampling circuit of the flexible DC power module control board acquires the power module voltage value Uc, through the processing of the flexible DC power module control board and its transmission to the flexible DC valve control system, until the flexible DC valve control system completes its processing and sends it to the upper-level control and protection system. However, the magnitude of the module voltage uplink delay directly affects the response speed of the overall overvoltage protection action of the flexible DC valve control system. The longer the delay, the slower the overall overvoltage protection action of the flexible DC valve control system, thus increasing the overvoltage risk of the flexible DC valve. Therefore, a comprehensive and accurate test of the module voltage uplink delay is necessary.

[0086] To address this, the present invention provides a test method for the uplink delay of module voltage, specifically:

[0087] like Figure 3As shown, the test starts at the input port of the sampling circuit on the module control board. During the test, a test voltage signal is first emitted by a controllable voltage source (this voltage signal is a periodic electrical signal with a period of T2; 50% of the time in one period is a fixed high-level output signal, and the remaining 50% of the time is a fixed zero-level output signal). This test voltage signal is split into two identical voltage signals through two parallel output circuits (one is called the measured signal (second measured signal), and the other is called the auxiliary signal (second auxiliary signal)). The measured voltage signal then passes through the power supply... The module control board sampling circuit (where the measured voltage signal is converted into an optical signal), power module control board chip, pulse distribution board, switching board, bridge arm operation board, and valve control main control board are all connected. Finally, the signal is output from the valve control main control board in the form of an optical signal and connected to the terminal test board. The accompanying voltage signal is directly output as an optical signal through the optical / electrical signal conversion board and also connected to the terminal test board. The moment when the measured optical signal and the accompanying optical signal instantly step from zero level to high level (or from high level to zero level) is found from the terminal test board using an online logic analyzer. , Then the uplink delay of the module voltage is: ;

[0088] In the formula, This is the delay in the uplink of the module voltage transmission link. The step time of the second measured signal. This is the time of the level step of the second test signal. The time required for the second test signal to be converted into an optical signal in the optical / electrical signal conversion board (determined by the board design, usually around 0.5µs).

[0089] Example 4, please refer to Figure 5 :

[0090] When the link delay type is valve-controlled fast protection link delay, the link delay test method of the flexible DC valve-controlled system of the present invention includes:

[0091] Set the test signal type to test bridge arm current signal, set the test start point to the bridge arm current output port of the merging unit, set the test tool to the operation terminal oscilloscope, and set the beam splitter.

[0092] After the test arm current signal is emitted at the arm current output port, the test arm current signal is split into a third test signal and a third auxiliary test signal by a beam splitter. The third test signal passes through the test link of the valve-controlled fast protection link, and the third auxiliary test signal passes through the auxiliary test link of the valve-controlled fast protection link and is connected to the operation terminal oscilloscope.

[0093] When the oscilloscope on the operating terminal captures the level changes of the third measured signal and the third auxiliary measured signal respectively, the time of the level change is recorded, and the delay of the valve-controlled fast protection link is calculated based on the time of the level change. The expression is:

[0094] ;

[0095] In the formula, For the delay of the valve-controlled fast protection link, The step time of the third measured signal. This refers to the step time of the third test signal. The time required for the third test signal to be converted into an electrical signal in the optical / electrical signal conversion board. This refers to the turn-off time of the IGBT device.

[0096] Among them, the tested link of the valve-controlled fast protection link is: a link consisting of a valve-controlled fast protection board, a three-out-of-two output board, a bridge arm operation board, a switching board, a pulse distribution board, a power module control board, and an IGBT driver board in sequence.

[0097] The valve-controlled fast protection link is: an optical / electrical signal conversion board.

[0098] The principle of Example 4 is explained as follows:

[0099] It should be noted that the valve-controlled fast protection link has a delay. This refers to the time elapsed from the moment the merging unit (MU) sends the bridge arm current Iarm sample value to the fast protection board of the flexible DC valve control system, through the processing and generation of the IGBT turn-off command for each power module by the flexible DC valve control system, until the power module IGBT device actually completes the execution of the turn-off command. The delay of the valve control fast protection link directly affects the response speed of the flexible DC valve control system's fast protection action. The longer the delay, the slower the response speed of the flexible DC valve control system's fast protection action, which in turn increases the risk of overcurrent damage to the flexible DC valve. Therefore, a comprehensive and accurate test of the valve control fast protection link delay is required.

[0100] To address this, the present invention provides a test method for the delay of a flexible DC valve-controlled fast protection link, specifically:

[0101] like Figure 4As shown, the test starts at the bridge arm current output port of the merging unit (MU). During the test, the merging unit (MU) first sends a test bridge arm current signal (this signal is a periodic optical signal with a period of T3, where 50% of the time is a fixed high-level output signal and the remaining 50% is a fixed zero-level output signal). This signal is first split into two identical optical signals after passing through a beam splitter (one is called the test signal (third test signal), and the other is called the companion signal (third companion signal)). The test optical signal passes sequentially through the valve-controlled fast protection board, the three-out-of-two output board, the bridge arm operation board, the switching board, the pulse distribution board, the power module control board, and the IGBT driver board, and is finally output from the IGBT driver board as a drive electrical signal and connected to the terminal oscilloscope. The companion optical signal is directly output as an electrical signal through the optical / electrical signal conversion board and is also connected to the terminal oscilloscope. The terminal oscilloscope is used to find the moment when the test drive electrical signal steps from a positive level to a negative level and the moment when the companion electrical signal steps from a zero level to a high level. , Then the valve-controlled fast protection link delay is:

[0102] ;

[0103] In the formula, For the delay of the valve-controlled fast protection link, The step time of the third measured signal. This refers to the step time of the third test signal. The time required for the third test signal to be converted into an electrical signal in the optical / electrical signal conversion board (determined by the board design, usually around 0.5µs). This refers to the turn-off time of the IGBT device (typically around 10µs).

[0104] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide three types of link delay test methods for flexible DC valve control systems, realizing comprehensive and accurate testing of the three types of link delays in flexible DC valve control systems.
