Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible direct current transmission, and in particular to a method and device for protecting a converter valve submodule from an IGBT switching frequency over-limit fault. Background Art

[0002] Flexible direct current (HVDC) transmission technology, utilizing a modular multilevel converter topology, is a new transmission technology enabling large-scale external transmission from the Shagohuang wind and solar power base, flexible grid interconnection, and offshore wind power grid integration. It is a strategically important technology for building a new power system and achieving a low-carbon energy transition. The converter valve submodule, the "heart" of flexible HVDC transmission, converts electrical energy through the on / off operation of IGBT devices. If the IGBT is turned on and off frequently, the resulting switching damage can cause the junction temperature of the IGBT device to rise. In severe cases, exceeding the junction temperature limit can cause overheating and damage to the IGBT device, leading to submodule failure, loss of redundancy, and even system shutdown. Therefore, designing a fast and comprehensive method for diagnosing excessive IGBT switching frequency faults in flexible HVDC submodules, as well as efficient protection methods, is crucial to the operation of flexible HVDC projects.

[0003] Patent CN 202210708501.X proposes a high-frequency protection method for flexible direct current submodules. However, its switching frequency overclocking fault judgment design is in the valve control system. As the number of submodules increases, the resource demand of the valve control system increases greatly. Moreover, in this invention patent, a bypass operation needs to be performed if the high-frequency action of the submodule occurs at most twice in a row, which greatly reduces the availability of the submodule. A temporary locking operation is performed after the first fault occurs, which can easily trigger the capacitor voltage overvoltage bypass. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Furthermore, the quantity threshold is half of the total number of submodules in the converter valve.

[0017] Furthermore, the third preset time period is 100ms.

[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the main steps of a method for protecting the IGBT switching frequency over-limit fault of a converter valve submodule according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the converter valve submodule IGBT switching frequency over-limit fault protection method in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

[0034] Step S101: performing switching frequency over-limit fault diagnosis on the IGBT based on the effective value of the converter valve bridge arm current and the switching frequency of the IGBT in the submodule on the converter valve bridge arm;

[0035] Step S102: performing switching frequency over-limit fault protection on the converter valve based on the number of submodules in the converter valve that have switching frequency over-limit faults.

[0036] Wherein, the converter valve adopts a half-bridge topology structure.

[0037] In one embodiment, the step of performing a switching frequency over-limit fault diagnosis on the IGBT based on the effective value of the converter valve bridge arm current and the switching frequency of the IGBT in the submodule on the converter valve bridge arm includes:

[0038] When the effective value of the current of the converter valve bridge arm does not exceed the current threshold, it is determined whether the switching frequency of the IGBT in the upper sub-module of the converter valve bridge arm exceeds the first switching frequency threshold within the first preset time period. If so, the IGBT in the upper sub-module of the converter valve bridge arm has a switching frequency exceeding limit fault in the low current mode. Otherwise, the IGBT in the upper sub-module of the converter valve bridge arm has not a switching frequency exceeding limit fault in the low current mode.

[0039] In one embodiment, the step of performing a switching frequency over-limit fault diagnosis on the IGBT based on the effective value of the converter valve bridge arm current and the switching frequency of the IGBT in the submodule on the converter valve bridge arm includes:

[0040] When the effective value of the current of the converter valve bridge arm exceeds the current threshold, it is determined whether the switching frequency of the IGBT in the upper sub-module of the converter valve bridge arm exceeds the second switching frequency threshold within the second preset time period. If so, the IGBT in the upper sub-module of the converter valve bridge arm has a switching frequency exceeding limit fault in the high current mode. Otherwise, the IGBT in the upper sub-module of the converter valve bridge arm has not a switching frequency exceeding limit fault in the high current mode.

[0041] In one embodiment, the step of protecting the converter valve from a switching frequency over-limit fault based on the number of submodules in the converter valve that have a switching frequency over-limit fault includes:

[0042] When the number of submodules in the converter valve having a switching frequency over-limit fault does not exceed a quantity threshold, a trigger instruction is issued to the lower IGBT of the submodule in the converter valve having a switching frequency over-limit fault, and normal switching of the lower IGBT is restored after a third preset period of time;

[0043] When the number of submodules in the converter valve that have switching frequency over-limit faults exceeds a quantity threshold, the converter valve is controlled to perform a system switching operation.

[0044] In one embodiment, the quantity threshold is half of the total number of submodules in the converter valve.

[0045] In one embodiment, the third preset time period is 100 ms.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the diagnostic process of the converter valve submodule IGBT switching frequency over-limit fault protection method includes:

[0047] (1) Currently, most of the flexible DC converter valve submodules in operation adopt half-bridge topology, such as Figure 3 As shown, each submodule contains two IGBTs, an upper IGBT (marked as D1) and a lower IGBT (marked as D2). The IGBT switching frequency over-limit fault judgment proposed in this patent is to judge both D1 and D2 at the same time.

[0048] (2) Calculate the switching frequencies f11 and f12 of the upper and lower IGBTs during time T1, compare them with the first switching frequency threshold F1, and perform a logical “OR” operation on the judgment results to obtain the IGBT switching frequency over-limit fault in the low current mode;

[0049] (3) Calculate the switching frequencies f21 and f22 of the upper and lower IGBTs during time T2, compare them with the second switching frequency threshold F2, and perform a logical “OR” operation on the judgment results to obtain an IGBT switching frequency over-limit fault in the high current mode;

[0050] (4) The valve control calculates the effective value of the bridge arm current iarm in real time and compares it with the current threshold I: if iarm < I, a low current mode is generated; otherwise, a high current mode is generated;

[0051] (5) According to the large / small current mode, the IGBT overfrequency fault in the large / small current mode determined in (2) and (3) above is selected as the sub-module IGBT overfrequency fault of the final exit;

[0052] (6) When calculating the IGBT switching frequency in (2) and (3) above, a sliding window statistical method is used to improve the detection accuracy and fast response speed. There are two typical designs: one is to follow the IGBT trigger instruction timing issued by the valve control system; the other is to implement double frequency sampling based on the sampling theorem (for example, if the valve control cycle is 50μs, then the IGBT is sampled every 25μs to determine whether it is performing an on / off operation).

[0053] The protection process of the converter valve submodule IGBT switching frequency over-limit fault protection method includes:

[0054] (1) The calculation of the effective value of the bridge arm current and the generation of the large / small current mode are configured in the valve control system, and the large / small current mode is sent to the sub-module central control board;

[0055] (2) The submodule central control board calculates the IGBT switching frequency, determines whether the switching frequency exceeds the limit in the large / small current mode, and outputs the final submodule IGBT switching frequency exceeding the limit fault according to the large / small current mode, and sends the fault to the valve control system;

[0056] (3) If the valve control system detects that only a few submodules have IGBT switching frequency exceeding the limit, it will temporarily send a triggering instruction to the lower IGBT (i.e., D2) to the submodule. The submodule will not participate in supporting the DC voltage, and the capacitor voltage will slowly discharge through the voltage-sharing resistor. After a period of time (e.g., 100ms) after temporarily sending the triggering instruction to the lower IGBT, the valve control will resume normal switching of the submodule. The submodule central control board will also start the IGBT switching frequency exceeding limit fault judgment logic. If the IGBT switching frequency exceeding limit fault occurs again, the above operation will continue to be executed.

[0057] (4) If the valve control system detects that most submodules (such as half of the redundant submodules) have IGBT overfrequency failures at the same time, the valve control system will apply for system switching operation to avoid the IGBT submodule switching frequency exceeding the limit caused by the valve control system failure, thereby improving the availability of the flexible direct current system;

[0058] (5) The parameter setting mode of the valve control system can be used to easily modify the judgment threshold of the large / small current mode, the time and threshold of the IGBT switching frequency judgment, and the time and threshold of the IGBT switching frequency judgment are then sent to the central control board for execution through the downlink communication optical fiber between the valve control system and the sub-module central control board;

[0059] (6) The above protection logic is completed by the valve control system and the sub-module central control board through division of labor and cooperation, which has little impact on the resource utilization rate of the valve control system. Even if the number of sub-modules increases, the impact on the valve control system is also small.

[0060] The above statement is for the half-bridge sub-module. If the flexible DC converter valve sub-module adopts a full-bridge sub-module (each sub-module contains 4 IGBTs) or an MMC topology with distributed energy-dissipating resistors (each sub-module contains 3 IGBTs or 5 IGBTs), the central control board needs to calculate the switching frequency of all IGBTs inside the sub-module and determine whether a frequency over-limit fault occurs.
