TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of direct current power transmission, in particular to a deep-sea wind power direct current transmission system based on a flexible line commutated converter and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The typical converter topology of the existing offshore wind power end-to-end direct current transmission system is a modular multi-level converter (MMC). Due to the limitation of the current-carrying capacity of the switching device, the MMC usually adopts the modular expansion (such as increasing the number of parallel sub-modules) to improve the converter capacity, thereby bringing technical and economic challenges to the cost, volume and weight of the offshore converter station under the demand of large-capacity transmission of deep-sea wind power. In addition, the MMC with larger capacity has higher requirements for offshore platforms, further increasing the difficulty of engineering construction and operation and maintenance cost. The end-to-end structure can only realize the direct current transmission of a single wind farm, and cannot meet the requirements of flexible interconnection of multiple wind farms under the background of deep-sea wind power development, and cannot fully utilize the complementarity of power transmission of different regional offshore wind farms.
[0003] In terms of multi-terminal direct current transmission, due to the inherent defects of the series topology structure, the series multi-terminal system has problems in reliability and expandability. In order to ensure that the system can maintain normal operation when any port converter fails, the design of the control system is more complex, and the control accuracy and reliability are lower. In the face of the grid connection demand of large-scale newly added wind farms in the future, if the series structure needs to connect the newly added wind farms, the power transmission network must be reconstructed, which greatly increases the development cost. Due to the limitation of the current-carrying capacity of the switching device in the MMC, the grid connection capacity of a single onshore MMC converter station is limited, which cannot meet the large-capacity grid connection demand of deep-sea wind power. At present, the design of the parallel multi-terminal system usually adopts the scheme of constructing multiple MMC converter stations to realize the grid connection of large-capacity power, which brings economic problems to the construction of the transmission system.

Compared with the existing series multi-terminal system, the FLCC-based DC transmission system design supports the access of future new wind farms, without the need to reconfigure the existing power transmission network, thereby reducing long-term development costs. Compared with the existing parallel multi-terminal system, since the current-carrying capacity of the thyristor switch used by the LCC is much larger than that of the IGBT switch used by the MMC, the DC transmission system using the FLCC as the onshore converter station can transmit much larger power capacity than the traditional MMC converter station, avoiding the construction of multiple MMC converter stations to realize large-capacity wind power grid connection, and having higher economic efficiency.
