Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of safety control of hybrid phase-commutation converter valves, and in particular relates to an active shut-off test circuit and method for hybrid phase-commutation converter valves. Background Art

[0002] LCC-HVDC (line commutated converter-High Voltage Direct Current) technology based on semi-controlled thyristor device converter valves is widely used and has played an important role in long-distance large-capacity power transmission, urban power grid interconnection and other fields, and has produced good economic benefits. With the development of the power grid, the number of LCC-HVDC projects in the power grid has continued to increase, resulting in a continuous decrease in the short-circuit ratio of the receiving power grid and a continuous weakening of the power grid strength; at the same time, the LCC-HVDC technology based on thyristor devices has a long reverse recovery period when the device is turned off and does not have a controllable shutdown capability. When the voltage of the power grid is disturbed, commutation failure is very likely to occur. In severe cases, it will cause the converter valve to lock and stop operating, the power grid load to oscillate, and even a large-scale power outage in the power grid. Therefore, the commutation failure problem of the DC transmission system has become an important core technical problem that the current power grid urgently needs to solve.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of power electronics technology, high-voltage and high-power fully controlled semiconductor devices have been favored by the industry in the field of DC transmission. Based on the fully controlled asymmetric IGBT (Insulate-Gate Bipolar Transistor) converter valve as the core, the VSC-HVDC (Voltage-Source-Converter-High Voltage Direct Current) technology does not have commutation failure, and the DC voltage, active and reactive power can be flexibly controlled, but the control is complex, the cost is expensive, and the investment economy is poor. Based on the fully controlled reverse resistance IGCT (Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor) converter valve as the core, the HCC-HVDC (Hybridcommutated converter-High Voltage Direct Current) technology, the core IGCT semiconductor device has a short turn-off reverse recovery period and a controllable turn-off capability, which can effectively suppress and resist the commutation failure of the DC transmission system. At the same time, the cost is moderate and the technical economy is good.

[0004] The HCC-HVDC converter valve with a fully controlled reverse-resistance IGCT converter valve as the core is based on the LCC-HVDC converter valve, and is formed by replacing the core semiconductor devices. The basic working principle and electrical topology are the same as those of the LCC-HVDC converter valve, and the test verification methods and test technical requirements are basically the same. The operating function and transient and steady-state characteristics of the converter valve are inspected and verified on a synthetic equivalent test platform in accordance with relevant national standards and common practices in the industry. The difference is that the HCC-HVDC converter valve has added an active shutdown test to verify the ability to resist commutation failure.

[0005] The purpose of the HCC-HVDC converter valve active shutdown test is to verify its ability to resist commutation failure by forcing commutation through active shutdown strategy when the inverter side converter valve fails to commutate under small arc extinction angle conditions in the DC system when the system is disturbed by a fault. However, the size of its shutdown capability is the main factor that determines its ability to resist commutation failure and verifies the life of core components. According to the design and system requirements, the valve shutdown current capability is much larger than the maximum steady-state current, and the fault is simulated continuously for multiple cycles, generally not less than 3 cycles.

[0006] However, the existing synthetic equivalent test platform developed based on the LCC-HVDC converter valve test has a low high-voltage source voltage and a small output current under the small arc extinction angle equivalent test conditions. It does not have the ability to simulate the output of multiple consecutive cycles to the test valve and the ability to ensure stable, adjustable and controllable fault current under the small arc extinction angle test and other equivalent synthetic test conditions.

The test platform construction cost is low and the test equivalence is strong.

[0094] 2) The active shutdown test circuit topology fault current source adopts an LC oscillation circuit formed by an isolation control valve, a capacitor branch and a resonant inductor, which can flexibly control the number of fault current cycles and the simulated fault time;

[0095] 3) The active shutdown test circuit topology fault current source adopts an LC oscillation circuit formed by an isolation control valve, a capacitor and a resonant inductor. The capacitor adopts a pre-charging mode and adjusts the charging voltage to achieve the adjustment of the fault current size and the constant amplitude of the simulated fault current in each cycle.

[0096] 4) The active shutdown test circuit topology adopts an isolation control valve and a capacitor in series as an independent resonant unit. Each resonant unit forms an LC oscillation circuit with the same resonant inductor L3, generating simulated fault currents of equal amplitude in different fault cycles. Each resonant unit shares the same resonant inductor L3, reducing the number of inductors used by n-1, thereby greatly reducing the floor space and investment of the test platform.
