[0002] In recent years, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems have received extensive attention and development around the world due to their unique advantages, such as point-to-point direct current long-distance transmission capability, the characteristic that the voltage polarity remains unchanged when the power flow reverses, and the ability to efficiently interconnect with renewable energy and existing energy systems. However, despite its broad application prospects, the short-circuit fault protection problem of high-voltage direct current transmission systems remains the main obstacle to its promotion.
[0003] In order to cope with this technical challenge, ABB, a global leader in power and automation technology, has proposed an innovative high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker with its strong R&D capabilities and industry experience. The circuit breaker consists of a normal branch and a main circuit breaker branch in parallel. The normal branch contains an ultra-fast circuit breaker (UFD) and a load commutation switch (LCS) connected in series, and the main circuit breaker branch is composed of multiple identical modules in series. Each module consists of a metal oxide arrester (MOA) and an IGBT connected in parallel to provide powerful fault current cutting capability.

[0039] Specifically, in step five, the electrical parameters include electrical parameters of the high-voltage direct current grid branch, the normal branch and the main circuit breaker branch.
[0040] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides an application of a high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker load flow switch simulation model, which uses an optimized simulation model built using the above-mentioned modeling method to predict the dynamic response characteristics of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker during the load flow switch commutation period.
[0041] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a modeling method for a load commutation switch of a high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker includes the following steps: Step 1 specifically includes: Step 1.1, ABB established a principle model of a high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker using IGBT as an electronic switch, which consists of three parts: an equivalent circuit branch of a high-voltage DC grid, a normal branch, and a main circuit breaker; See also Figure 1 ① is the equivalent circuit branch of the high-voltage DC power grid, ② is the normal branch, and ③ is the main circuit breaker. IGBT-T is used in the main circuit breaker. m As an electronic switch to replace thyristors; the equivalent circuit of the high-voltage DC grid (part ①) is electrically connected to the normal branch (part ②) to provide a power transmission path; under normal working conditions, the normal branch remains closed to allow current to pass; the main circuit breaker (part ③) is connected in series with the normal branch and is connected to the equivalent circuit of the high-voltage DC grid by controlling the switch state; in a fault-free state, the main circuit breaker remains closed to maintain the continuous operation of the circuit; when a fault or abnormal situation occurs, the main circuit breaker is quickly disconnected, thereby cutting off the current flow to the normal branch and ensuring the safety of the power grid system.
[0042] Step 1.2: Based on step 1.1, add the stray inductance L of the main circuit breaker between the normal branch and the main circuit breaker branch. P , construct a simplified principle model of a high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker, see Figure 2 .
[0043] Step 2 specifically includes: Step 2.1, based on the simplified principle model of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker, draw the fault current timing diagram and fault voltage timing diagram of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker, see Figure 3 .
[0044] Step 2.2, based on the fault current timing diagram and fault voltage timing diagram of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker, study the IGBT-T in the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker. m Current limiting mechanism of the power electronic switch of the main circuit breaker and the load commutation switch IGBT-T LCS In the high-voltage direct current transmission system, 1.2 times the maximum rated current is set as the triggering threshold I of the short-circuit fault protection. LST The interval [0, t0] is the normal working condition, and the load current i Ls Flows to the load through the normal branch. In the interval [t0, t1], a short circuit fault occurs in the DC transmission line, and the fault current i Ls From the normal value I norm Rapidly increases. In the interval [t1, t2], the stray inductance L p The current cannot jump through the IGBT-T m The current gradually increases, and the fault current i Ls At the same time, it passes through the normal branch and the switch branch of the main circuit breaker. [t2, t3] interval, IGBT-T LCS (Load commutation switch) is completely turned off, and the current i through the normal branch LCS The fault current is forced to commutate from the normal branch to the main circuit breaker branch. At the same time, the two contacts of the ultra-fast circuit breaker (UFD) begin to separate gradually until they are completely disconnected. In the interval [t3, t4], the fault voltage u Tm Rise to the rated voltage U of the metal oxide arrester (MOA) r MOA enters the pre-breakdown region, the inductor current i p From IGBT-T m Gradually commutates to the MOA energy absorption branch, the fault current i Ls Reach the maximum value I in a short time max In the interval [t4, t5], MOA enters the breakdown region, u Tm Rising to MOA reference voltage U ref , reference voltage U ref Equal to 1.5 times the rated DC voltage U dc Under the action of MOA, the fault current i Ls Decreases linearly until it reaches zero.
[0045] Step 2.3, according to the above analysis process, it is found that the high-voltage DC grid has a fault current i when a short-circuit fault occurs. LsThe characteristics of rapid development are as follows: the transient current rises rapidly and the peak value of the steady-state current is high. Therefore, for the application of flexible DC transmission systems, the IGBTs used should have the important working characteristic of being able to provide a larger short-circuit safe operating area (SOA) to adapt to the harsh working environment faced by high-voltage DC grids under short-circuit conditions, ensuring that the IGBTs can work safely and reliably when short-circuit faults occur and avoiding damage or failure. This requires that the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker can respond quickly to ensure that the switching devices in the equipment can be turned off and on in a timely manner. In addition, considering the advantages of high power and low loss of high-voltage DC systems, the IGBTs applied to such systems should have important working characteristics such as large capacity (including high maximum withstand voltage and rated current), high switching speed, and low loss to meet the strict requirements of high-voltage DC grids for reliability and efficiency.
[0046] Step 3 specifically includes: Step 3.1, according to the working characteristic requirements of the IGBTs for the hybrid high-voltage circuit breakers in the high-voltage DC grid in Step 2, select a power electronic switch of the SPT-IGBT type. The SPT-IGBT is a soft punch-through power electronic switch, which is a new type of IGBT proposed by ABB for high-voltage high-power applications and is named SPT-IGBT; based on the physical structure of the SPT-IGBT, combined with semiconductor physics theory and circuit theory, conduct a turn-off test of the SPT-IGBT under extreme SOA conditions, draw the turn-off waveform and study the turn-off process of the SPT-IGBT to establish the turn-off equivalent circuit of the SPT-IGBT. Specifically: conduct turn-off tests on multiple SPT-IGBTs with rated voltages of 3.3 kV to 6.5 kV under extreme SOA conditions, draw the turn-off timing diagram, see Figure 4 , and through analysis, the following turn-off process can be obtained: when t < t o , the SPT-IGBT is in the deep saturation region, and the output current i c and the output voltage u ce remain unchanged; when t o ≤ t < t1, the Miller capacitance C gc is charged approximately at a constant current, causing the output voltage u ce to increase; when t1 ≤ t < t2, when u ce = U DA , dynamic avalanche starts, and begins to consume the electron-hole pairs stored inside the device; when t2 ≤ t < t3, u ce is greater than the power supply voltage U DC , and the inductor L sThe voltage at both ends reverses, and the current begins to decline. When t3 ≤ t < t4, the electron-hole pairs stored inside the device are all consumed, the collector current of the SPT-IGBT drops to zero, and it enters the self-clamping mode. When t > t4, the SPT-IGBT is completely turned off; the external circuit begins to enter the resonance stage of the RLC series circuit. Therefore, the SPT-IGBT has five operating states, including turn-on, turn-off, constant current, dynamic avalanche, and switch self-clamping mode; Based on the electrical symbol of the standard IGBT, an equivalent turn-off circuit of the SPT-IGBT is established according to the turn-off process. See Figure 5 , this equivalent circuit is a transistor composed of an n-channel MOSFET T3 driving the emitter follower of a PNP bipolar junction transistor T1, and T2 is an NPN transistor. R m is the conductivity modulation resistance of the n-base region of the SPT-IGBT, and the diode D p and the virtual capacitor C in parallel with it p connect the base and the collector to describe the dynamic avalanche phenomenon and its electrical characteristics of the SPT-IGBT. The Zener diode D ZRm charges the virtual capacitor C p constantly to describe the linear and smooth increase of the output voltage u ce of the device during dynamic avalanche. The Zener diode D z connects the collector and the emitter to simulate the switch self-clamping mode.
[0047] Step 3.2, perform parameter calculations for the turn-off equivalent circuit of the SPT-IGBT, including the conductivity modulation resistance R m , the p+-base region bulk resistance R s , the virtual capacitor C p , and determine the accurate turn-off analysis model of the SPT-IGBT, specifically including: calculating the conductivity modulation resistance R m , indirectly calculating the saturation voltage of the SPT-IGBT by calculating the total voltage of the series branch composed of the three components T1, R m and T3; according to KVL, the expression of the IGBT saturation voltage obtained by superimposing the three parts of the voltage is:
[0048] In the formula, U T is the thermoelectric potential (25 mV at room temperature); I C is the collector current of the SPT-IGBT; I s is the reverse saturation current of the base-emitter junction; α NPN is the current gain of the NPN transistor T1; R m is the modulation resistance of the n-base region; R T3(on) is the on-resistance of the MOSFET T3; Depend on Figure 4 It can be obtained when t <t o , the IGBT has entered a deep saturation state, and the output voltage u ce Equal to the collector-emitter saturation voltage U ce (sat) , therefore, the conductivity modulation resistor R m(sat) The calculation formula is,
[0049] Where U ce (sat) is the collector-emitter saturation voltage, U T3(on) is the on-state voltage of MOSFET T3, I C is the collector current of SPT-IGBT, α NPN is the current gain of NPN transistor T1; Step 3.3.2, calculate p + Base resistance R s , during the conduction period of T3, the capacitor C p and R s For parallel connection, they have the same voltage, expressed as,
[0050] In the formula, u Cp is the capacitance C p The voltage across the two ends, u Rs For p + Base resistance R s The voltage across the terminals, i T1 is the current of transistor T1, α NPN is the current gain of NPN transistor T1, I C is the collector current of SPT-IGBT; In order to suppress the current holding phenomenon of SPT-IGBT, even if the current I c Reaching its maximum value I cmax , and also requires voltage u Rs Less than 0.5V to avoid T2 conduction and current holding phenomenon, expressed as,
[0051] In the formula, I cmax is the current I c The maximum value, I cnom is the rated value of the collector DC current; p+ base resistance R s The expression evaluates to,
[0052] Calculate the virtual capacitance C p,Depend on Figure 4 Available ce The rising slope is
[0053] In the formula, u ce is the collector-emitter voltage, Uz is the Zener breakdown threshold voltage, U DA for u ce Rising to the threshold voltage of dynamic avalanche, I o is the output current, C p is the virtual capacitor; From the above formula, we can calculate C p The formula is,
[0055] Step 4 specifically includes: Step 4.1, Load commutation switch IGBT-T in high voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker LCS A conventional RCD snubber circuit is added and optimized to reduce dv / dt and reduce turn-off loss; then, based on the simplified principle model of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker in step 2 and the precise SPT-IGBT turn-off analytical model in step 3, an optimized load commutation switch IGBT-T is established.

[0059] Step 5 specifically includes: Step 5.1, based on the optimized load commutation switch IGBT-T LCS The shutdown equivalent circuit and shutdown analytical model are determined to determine the electrical parameters of the high-voltage DC power grid branch, normal branch and main circuit breaker branch, and to construct the PSCAD / EMTDC simulation equivalent circuit of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker, specifically: Normal branch ②, UFD In the simulation circuit, an ideal switch with a delay time of 0.25~2ms is used to model the UFD; IGBT-T LCSThe device used is an SPT-IGBT module with a withstand voltage of 3.3kV or 4.5kV; the main circuit breaker ③ is composed of four 80kV modules in series; the RCD snubber circuit is a conventional RCD snubber circuit; R L It is the load of the DC system under normal operating conditions.
[0060] Step 5.2: Based on the PSCAD / EMTDC simulation equivalent circuit of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker, build an optimized simulation model of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker. Fig.11 , determine L s , C s and U dc The relevant experimental parameters are used to predict the dynamic response characteristics of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker during the load commutation switch commutation period, specifically: the power supply voltage U dc =40kV, output current I o =3.07kA, inductance L s =25mH, stray inductance L p =24μH, buffer capacitor C s =13μF, IGBT-T LCS The output capacitor C ou1 =250nF, junction capacitance C of the reverse blocking diode D2 =49nF, using an 80kV IGBT-T m The module acts as a switch branch of the main circuit breaker; Analysis of simulation results and experimental waveforms of the simulation model of the unoptimized high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker, see Fig.12 and Fig.13 , where solid lines ① and ③ represent the voltage and current curves of the experimental waveform, respectively, and dashed lines ② and ④ represent the voltage and current curves of the simulation results. As can be seen from the figure, the change trend of the simulation curve is consistent with the experimental curve, and the current curve is better than the voltage simulation curve. This shows that the system model can qualitatively characterize the load commutation switch IGBT-T LCS The overall characteristics of the commutation process. However, at special points such as A, B, C, D, E, and F, there are significant errors between the simulation results and the experimental results, which cannot meet the engineering requirements. One of the reasons for the error is that the new SPT-IGB is used in the hybrid circuit breaker; there are only standard IGB models in the PSCAD / EMTD component library, and there is no SPT-IGBT model of any type. Therefore, the system model has a certain reference value for the qualitative analysis of the hybrid circuit breaker, but it cannot complete the quantitative analysis.

As can be seen from the figure, the simulation curve is highly consistent with the experimental curve, and the analysis error is within 5%.
[0062] In summary, it can be seen that the optimization simulation model constructed by the modeling method of the present invention has more superior performance than the traditional system model, and can accurately predict the dynamic response characteristics of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker during the commutation process of the load commutation switch, and solves the reliability problem of the load commutation switch of the high-voltage hybrid DC circuit breaker in the prior art during the shutdown process; it provides an effective analysis tool for the research on the load commutation switch branch buffer circuit and the design of the main circuit breaker MOA module.
