Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system technology, and in particular to a method for suppressing commutation failure based on a novel submodule. Background Technology
[0002] AC system failure is the main cause of commutation failure. In existing research, the solutions to commutation failure revolve around adding reactive power compensation equipment on the AC side, changing the system control, and modifying the system topology. Among these, the invention and use of new topologies are the main research directions.
[0003] Regarding the topology modification of LCC-HVDC systems, controllable commutated converters (CLCCs) have been applied in the Gezhouba-Shanghai renovation project, but the modification cost is relatively high. Connecting RC submodules in series within the thyristor valve arms can compensate for AC voltage dips and impede the development of fault currents. Research on topology modification schemes indicates that the key to resisting commutation failure in LCC-HVDC systems lies in suppressing the first commutation failure. While domestic and international scholars have conducted relevant research on the current approach of modifying converter station topologies, the ability to resist commutation failure still needs improvement, and the investment cost of new topologies can be reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to research new topologies with better overall performance and improve related control strategies. Summary of the Invention
