Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) circuit breakers, and more specifically, to an economical mechanical HVDC circuit breaker and a control method and system thereof. Background Art

[0002] Flexible grid interconnection is a key technological approach to supporting the integration of renewable energy into the grid. However, existing flexible direct current (HVDC) transmission systems lack DC circuit breakers, resulting in complex fault isolation procedures and difficulties in network operation. Mechanical high-voltage DC circuit breakers, due to their simple structure, low conduction losses, and manageable costs, have become a key research area for DC circuit breakers supporting HVDC networking.

[0003] Pre-energy storage mechanical DC circuit breakers generate AC current through resonance between an energy storage capacitor and an inductor. This current is injected into the vacuum interrupter, forcing the arc current to cross zero, thereby extinguishing the arc. DC current then commutates to the commutation branch, charging the energy storage capacitor and triggering the metal oxide varistor (MOV) to conduct, dissipating transient energy and ultimately interrupting the DC current. The entire DC circuit breaker process consists of four key stages: pre-energy storage in the energy storage capacitor; arc extinguishment in the vacuum interrupter; charging the energy storage capacitor; and energy dissipation in the MOV.

[0004] During the capacitor pre-energy storage stage, the energy storage capacitor needs to be charged so that the capacitor electric field energy meets the energy requirements of DC disconnection. Patent CN111371441A discloses a controllable shutdown mechanical DC circuit breaker, which proposes the use of large capacitor devices to quickly charge the energy storage capacitor. This solution has been applied to mechanical high-voltage DC circuit breaker equipment and reliably supports its operation in DC engineering grid connection. However, the transfer and distribution of electric field energy between capacitors is affected by many factors such as capacitance value and coulomb efficiency, resulting in low efficiency of charging the energy storage capacitor by large capacitors. In order to meet the rapid energy storage requirements of reclosing, multiple sets of large capacitor devices are often equipped, resulting in large capacitor devices and high costs.

[0005] During the energy storage capacitor charging phase, the DC system's transient steady-state energy charges the energy storage capacitor until the capacitor voltage exceeds the MOV's operating voltage. However, the low current caused by high-impedance grounding can lead to slow capacitor charging, making it impossible to interrupt the current within 300 ms. Therefore, existing DC circuit breakers, such as CN114243646A, which discloses a DC circuit breaker based on an auxiliary oscillator commutation device and its control method, use semiconductor devices to forcibly interrupt low currents, significantly reducing their economic performance and compactness.

[0006] In summary, the current technical bottleneck of mechanical high-voltage DC circuit breakers is mainly reflected in the "breaking capacity-economy-reliability" triangle contradiction. It is urgently necessary to achieve the following breakthroughs through topological innovation: optimize the energy absorption path and reduce the capacitor cost; master the zero-semiconductor device low-current shutdown technology while still being able to cope with low-current scenarios.

If the reclosing occurs during a transient fault, the system can operate normally after the circuit breaker is reclosed. If the reclosing occurs during a permanent fault, the circuit breaker must be immediately opened for the second time after reclosing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] Preferably, the closing switch is delayed during the After the switch is opened, the oscillation current is disconnected through zero point, and the delay time At the same time greater than and , the delay time Less than the fault de-isolation time.

[0048] Preferably, the current-limiting resistor is 0.1 to 2 times the rated resistance of the DC grid, and the rated resistance of the DC grid is the ratio of the rated voltage to the rated current of the DC grid.

[0049] Next, we will introduce the working principle of the economical mechanical high-voltage DC circuit breaker when it is applied to the DC transmission system. When the DC system is operating normally, the mechanical switch and the current limiting switch are closed, the system current flows through the main branch, the closing switch is in the open state, and the energy supply device charges the capacitor to the set value. When a DC system needs to interrupt current, it can be divided into three situations according to the size of the interrupted current: ① interrupting underdamped current; ② interrupting critical damped current; ③ interrupting overdamped current.

[0050] The complete breaking process includes the first breaking and reclosing (whether a second breaking is required is determined based on the fault). If the reclosing occurs during a transient fault, the system can operate normally after the circuit breaker is reclosed. If the reclosing occurs during a permanent fault, the circuit breaker must be reclosed immediately after the second breaking. The complete first breaking voltage and current logic diagrams for the reclosing scenario during a permanent fault are as follows: Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 This is the breaking logic diagram for breaking underdamped current. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the interruption logic for interrupting the over-damping current.

[0051] The first breaking process and the control sequence of the DC circuit breaker are as follows: ① At this moment, a fault occurs and the main branch mechanical switch bears the fault current; ② At time t (the moment when the mechanical switch starts to open), the DC circuit breaker receives the opening command issued by the control circuit, the main branch mechanical switch operates to execute the opening command, and the closing switch executes the closing command, as shown in Figure 4(a); ③ At the moment (the moment when the mechanical switch contacts separate to the rated opening distance), the mechanical switch contacts separate to the rated opening distance, the closing switch is completed, and the capacitor and inductor generate an oscillating current superimposed on the main branch, as shown in Figure 4(b); ④ At time t (the time when the main branch current crosses zero), the main branch current crosses zero, the mechanical switch extinguishes the arc and turns off, and the fault current is transferred to the commutation branch. At this time, the current limiting switch can be controlled to open, and the DC system charges the capacitor, as shown in Figure 4(c).

[0052] Combine Figure 2 Explanation for interrupting underdamped current or critical damped current: (1) At time (the moment when the arrester operates), the capacitor is charged to the arrester operating voltage, the arrester operates, the fault current is transferred from the commutation branch to the energy consumption branch, and the arrester operates to absorb the residual energy of the line, as shown in Figure 4(d); (2) At this moment (the moment when the arrester completes its action), the arrester dissipates the fault current to zero, the arrester action is completed, and the capacitor voltage is the arrester residual voltage. , arrester residual pressure Greater than DC system voltage Due to the existence of capacitors, an oscillation circuit is formed between the DC system, the circuit breaker transfer branch and the fault point, and the capacitor voltage is and time-decayed oscillations; (3) At the moment (the moment when the closing switch is disconnected), the closing switch is controlled to disconnect the transfer branch current, and the capacitor voltage value is between, 、 Corresponding respectively 、 The attenuation value of the capacitor voltage can be used as the capacitor voltage of the reclosing switch. The closing switch disconnects the oscillating AC current of the commutation branch after the lightning arrester action is completed, limiting the voltage value on the capacitor.

[0053] Combine Figure 3 Description When interrupting overdamping current: (i) At this moment, the capacitor voltage is charged to the grid voltage , the arrester does not act, the capacitor stabilizes the voltage, the current in the commutation branch gradually decreases, and can be directly interrupted by the closing switch, without relying on semiconductor devices to interrupt small currents, as shown in Figure 4(c); (ii) At this moment, the closing switch is opened, and the main branch, commutation branch, and energy consumption branch of the DC circuit breaker are all disconnected from the DC system.

[0054] The reclosing process and the control sequence of the DC circuit breaker are as follows: (a) At this moment (when the mechanical switch starts to close), the control circuit sends a closing signal to the mechanical switch. and The interval is 300ms; 300ms is the de-ionization time of the DC transmission system in this embodiment. The DC circuit breaker is opened and closed for 300ms and then opened again according to the situation; (b) At time t (the moment when the mechanical switch is closed), the mechanical switch is closed, and the system current flows through the mechanical switch and the current-limiting resistor. The system current is limited by the current-limiting resistor, thereby reducing the energy stored in the smoothing reactor absorbed by the arrester. At the same time, the system current is limited, the conduction time of the energy-consuming branch is also reduced, and the energy absorbed by the arrester is correspondingly reduced, as shown in Figure 4(e). The system then detects whether the fault still exists. (c) At this moment (the moment when the external system completes fault detection), if the detected fault disappears, the current limiting switch is closed and the reclosing is completed. If the detected fault exists, the control circuit sends an opening signal to the mechanical breaker, and the breaking current required for reclosing is less than the first breaking current; (d) At this moment (the moment when the mechanical switch contacts separate to the rated opening distance again), the mechanical switch contacts separate to the rated opening distance, the current limiting switch closes, the closing switch closes, and the capacitor, inductor, main branch mechanical switch, and current limiting switch form an oscillation circuit to generate a high-frequency oscillating current.

[0055] and They correspond one to one, so I will not go into details.

[0056] Based on the above, the present application provides a control method for an economical mechanical high-voltage DC circuit breaker, the control method comprising: S1. When the DC transmission system is operating normally, the mechanical switch is in the closed state, the main branch is in the low-resistance state, and the closing switch remains open.

[0057] In an illustrated embodiment, when the DC power transmission system operates normally, the mechanical switch and the current limiting switch are in a closed state, and the closing switch remains open.

[0058] S2. When a fault is detected in the DC transmission system, an opening signal is sent to the main branch mechanical switch and a closing signal is sent to the commutation branch closing switch.

[0059] S3. After detecting that the fault current has been transferred from the main branch to the commutation branch, the main branch is placed in a high-impedance state. In an illustrated embodiment, after detecting that the fault current has transferred from the main branch to the commutation branch, a disconnect signal is sent to the current limiting switch.

[0060] S4. After detecting that the fault current is transferred from the commutation branch to the energy consumption branch after the set delay time, an opening signal is sent to the closing switch.

[0061] S5. After the DC transmission system has been freed for a period of time after the fault occurs, a closing signal is sent to the mechanical switch.

[0062] S6. Check whether the fault still exists. If the fault still exists, repeat steps S2 to S4. If the fault disappears, return the main branch to the low-resistance state and conduct.

[0063] In an illustrated embodiment, it is detected whether the fault still exists. If the fault still exists, steps S2-S4 are repeated; if the fault disappears, a signal is closed to the current limiting switch.

[0064] To achieve the above under the condition of breaking the different characteristic currents from underdamping to overdamping The process requires the capacitance parameters , capacitor pre-charge voltage , inductance parameters Carry out refined design, involving the maximum amplitude of the oscillating current of the transfer branch , oscillation frequency Selection of grid voltage , smoothing reactor , lightning arrester rated voltage , lightning arrester residual pressure This embodiment takes a 500kV DC system as an example to illustrate parameter design.
