Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power transmission, and particularly to a starting method and a starting device for an AC converter. Background Art

[0002] The AC converter is the core device of flexible AC power transmission and can be mainly used in scenarios such as flexible low-frequency AC power transmission and flexible interconnection of AC power grids. The flexible low-frequency AC power transmission technology can greatly improve the transmission capacity of transmission lines and reduce the electrical distance of the lines by selecting a transmission frequency lower than the power frequency, and has unique advantages in scenarios such as medium- and long-distance new energy collection and transmission. The flexible interconnection technology of AC power grids uses power electronic devices to achieve power flow regulation, fault isolation, and short-circuit current control between regional power grids, and is an effective means to solve problems such as wide fault propagation range, excessive short-circuit current, and inability to mutually supply power in rigid partitioned interconnection in large-scale power grids. The proposed AC converter has a simple topology. Compared with traditional M3C converters and back-to-back MMCs, the number of sub-modules and devices used is less, which can improve the technical economy of the flexible AC power transmission system.

[0003] The charging of the sub-module capacitor in the AC converter is the first step in the startup of the AC converter and is also the guarantee for the stable operation of the AC converter. The startup methods provided by related technologies directly start the AC converter through a circuit breaker. When the AC converter is started, the impact on the AC converter is relatively large, resulting in the inability of the AC converter to start stably and reliably.

[0072] Embodiment 1:

[0073] The embodiment of the present application provides a starting method for an AC converter. Among them, an AC converter is a converter that can convert alternating current into alternating current. As Figure 1 shown, the AC converter 100 includes a first conversion unit 1, a matching unit 7, and a second conversion unit 2 connected in series in sequence.

[0074] The first conversion unit 1 is used to: generate a first half-wave voltage, and invert the polarity of the first half-wave voltage to generate a first alternating current voltage U with positive and negative alternation a .

[0075] The second conversion unit 2 is used to: generate a second half-wave voltage, and invert the polarity of the second half-wave voltage to generate a second alternating current voltage U with positive and negative alternation u .

[0076] The matching unit 7 is used to: generate a first matching voltage. Among them, the first matching voltage is the difference between the sum of the first half-wave voltage and the second half-wave voltage.

[0077] Optionally, the polarities of the first half-wave voltage and the second half-wave voltage are the same, and can be positive voltages with specific amplitudes and frequencies, and the positive voltage is composed of the positive half-cycle of a sine wave with the specific amplitude and frequency.

[0078] Optionally, the first alternating current voltage U a is used as the input voltage of the AC / AC converter 100 and the second alternating current voltage U u is used as the output voltage of the AC / AC converter 100. Or, the first alternating current voltage U a is used as the output voltage of the AC / AC converter 100 and the second alternating current voltage U u is used as the input voltage of the AC / AC converter 100. It can be seen that the AC / AC converter 100 can be a single-phase converter.

[0082] In another possible implementation, referring to Figure 1 , the second conversion unit 2 includes a second conversion subunit 21 and a second inversion unit 22 connected in parallel.

[0083] The second conversion subunit 21 is configured to: generate a second half-wave voltage according to one or more cascaded sub-modules.

[0084] The second inversion unit 22 is configured to: invert the polarity of the second half-wave voltage according to one or more series-connected semiconductor switches at a second preset frequency and a second preset phase angle to generate a second alternating current voltage U u .
