[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0061] Converter transformers, as crucial equipment in ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission projects for energy conversion and transmission, undertake multiple important tasks, including isolating AC / DC systems and providing the adjustable AC voltage required by converter valves. They primarily meet the voltage regulation needs of isolated AC / DC systems. Compared to conventional power transformers, converter transformers must simultaneously withstand the combined stresses of AC and DC voltages, as well as the stresses of polarity reversal. They also have a wider voltage regulation range and more frequent voltage regulation requirements, all of which pose significant challenges to the insulation design, manufacturing, and safe operation of converter transformers and their components.

[0062] Tap changers are essential components of converter transformers for voltage regulation, playing a crucial role in compensating for AC grid voltage fluctuations, optimizing DC system control angles, and enabling DC step-down operation. During normal operation, changing the tap position allows adjustment of the number of turns in the regulating winding connected to the converter transformer, thereby adjusting the turns ratio.

[0063] However, due to the compact and complex internal structure of the tap changer, the cumbersome switching steps, and the need for precise timing, the probability of insulation degradation and high-energy arcing faults is relatively high. With the increase in voltage regulation frequency, the rate of malfunction and failure of the tap changer also increases accordingly. Carbon particles, insulating fibers, and metal debris are generated in the oil chamber, which in severe cases may trigger high-energy arc discharge between adjacent conductors or contacts, i.e., inter-stage short circuit faults. When an inter-stage short circuit fault occurs, a huge short-circuit current flows through the voltage regulating circuit composed of the regulating winding and the tap changer, causing severe vibration of the winding and insulation damage. Simultaneously, the insulating oil in the tap changer's oil chamber vaporizes and decomposes, producing large amounts of flammable gases such as hydrogen and acetylene. Furthermore, due to the small size and compact internal structure of the tap changer's oil chamber, an inter-stage short circuit will cause a sudden increase in pressure within the narrow chamber, which could potentially lead to oil spraying or even a serious explosion and fire accident in the converter transformer.

[0064] According to an embodiment of this application, a simulation method for short-circuit faults of tap changers in converter transformers is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0065] This embodiment provides a simulation method for tap changer short-circuit faults in converter transformers, applicable to two-limb, multi-winding converter transformers. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a tap changer short-circuit fault simulation method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S1: Perform inductance simulation on the three-dimensional finite element model of the converter transformer under the specified inter-stage short-circuit condition of the tap changer.

[0067] Specifically, two designated stages of the tap changer are first selected for simulation analysis of short-circuit conditions between designated stages. For example, the +9 and +10 stages of the tap changer are selected as designated stages, and inductance simulation is performed on the three-dimensional finite element model to facilitate subsequent analysis of the impact of inter-stage short-circuit faults on the performance of the converter transformer.

[0068] Step S3: Obtain the initial inductance matrix of each winding based on the inductance simulation results, and convert the initial inductance matrix into the target inductance matrix based on the three-winding transformer model.

[0069] Specifically, after completing the inductance simulation, an initial inductance matrix is ​​extracted from the simulation results. This initial inductance matrix represents the self-inductance and mutual inductance between the windings of the converter. Since the three-winding transformer model has specific advantages and clear physical meaning in analyzing the electromagnetic characteristics of circuits, it can simplify the analysis of complex electromagnetic situations. Therefore, based on the three-winding transformer model, relevant electromagnetic theories and mathematical methods are used to transform the initial inductance matrix into a target inductance matrix. The target inductance matrix represents the equivalent leakage inductance of each winding and the inductance of the excitation branch under the three-winding transformer model. The target inductance matrix provides an accurate data foundation for the subsequent construction of an inter-stage short-circuit fault model.

[0070] Step S5: Determine the three-winding resistance parameters corresponding to the specified inter-stage short-circuit condition, and construct the inter-stage short-circuit fault model of the converter transformer based on the target inductance matrix and the three-winding resistance parameters.

[0071] Specifically, based on the relationship between the target inductance matrix and the resistance parameters of the three windings and the voltage and current at each winding port of the three-winding transformer model, an inter-stage short-circuit fault model of the converter transformer is constructed, thereby accurately simulating the actual operating state of the converter transformer under a specified inter-stage short-circuit condition.

[0072] Step S7: Solve the inter-stage short-circuit fault model to obtain the fault simulation results of the converter transformer under the specified inter-stage short-circuit condition based on the solution results.

[0073] Specifically, by solving the inter-stage short-circuit fault model, the grid-side current change of the converter transformer under a specified inter-stage short-circuit condition is obtained. Then, based on the fault simulation results, a reliability verification environment is set for the control and protection device to ensure the effective protection performance of the control and protection device.

[0074] The tap changer short-circuit fault simulation method provided in this embodiment uses a three-dimensional finite element model to obtain the initial inductance matrix, and then converts the initial inductance matrix into the target inductance matrix through a three-winding transformer model. This allows the complex electromagnetic situation of inter-stage short circuits in tap changers to be equivalent to a three-winding transformer model with clear physical meaning. Under the condition of meeting actual operating conditions, data dimensionality reduction is achieved, which can not only ensure the accuracy of finite element calculations, but also simplify the data processing process, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of inter-stage short-circuit fault simulation. This is beneficial for the efficient verification of the reliability of control and protection devices, so as to effectively avoid the risk of converter damage caused by inter-stage short-circuit faults.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the three-dimensional finite element model is constructed in the following manner:

[0076] The geometric parameters of the converter transformer are determined based on its actual structure, and a three-dimensional geometric model of the converter transformer is constructed based on these parameters. Finite element meshing is then performed on the three-dimensional geometric model to obtain a three-dimensional finite element model.

[0077] Specifically, taking the ZZDFPZ-415000 / 750-400 converter transformer as an example, Figure 2 This paper presents a 3D geometric model of a converter transformer drawn using SpaceClaim software, which constructs the windings and core of the converter transformer at a 1:1 full scale. In actual engineering, to reduce eddy current losses during operation, the transformer core is actually manufactured by laminating silicon steel sheets. To reduce the complexity of the core structure and the difficulty of mesh generation in finite element software, this embodiment simplifies it to a smooth-surfaced cylinder or elliptical cylinder. Furthermore, the winding coils are actually composed of multiple parallel wires wound in series, and the grid-side and valve-side windings of the converter transformer often adopt a disc-shaped structure. Therefore, in the modeling process of the 3D geometric model, the winding coils can be approximated as a concentric cylindrical structure. The voltage regulating winding usually adopts a layered structure, with only a portion connected to the circuit. Therefore, this embodiment simplifies the voltage regulating winding to several segments of concentric cylindrical structure, and the gap between each voltage regulating segment is taken from the actual height of the interlayer spacers in the voltage regulating winding.

[0078] In this embodiment, a project file is created in ANSYS, and the ANSYS Maxwell 3D Design module is selected. The aforementioned three-dimensional geometric model is imported into the ANSYS Maxwell 3D Design module, and the three-dimensional geometric model is configured and meshed as follows to obtain the following result. Figure 3 The three-dimensional finite element model shown:

[0079] (1) Set the solver: Set the Maxwell 3D Design solver to transient field solver, set the coordinate system to Cartesian (XY), and set the calculated inductance matrix to apparent inductance matrix.

[0080] (2) Set the solution boundary: Draw the equivalent calculation region according to the actual size of the converter transformer tank shell, select each face of the calculation region, and set the tank boundary condition as an insulating boundary.

[0081] (3) Set the material properties of each part of the model: The converter transformer includes several column cores. The winding material of the converter transformer is set to copper, with a relative permeability of 0.999991 and an electrical conductivity of 5.8×107S / m. The transformer core is made of low carbon steel 1008.

[0082] (4) Apply excitation to the winding model: Divide the voltage regulating winding of the converter transformer into 16 segments, set the winding excitation, set the winding as a hinge conductor, and use external excitation as input;

[0083] (5) Finite element mesh generation: The three-dimensional geometric model is meshed, and the maximum element length of the mesh for the oil tank, iron core and winding parts is limited to 1000mm, 400mm and 200mm respectively.

[0084] (6) Add the solver Setup and set the calculation step size and total time of the magnetic field simulation to 0.1ms and 1ms respectively.

[0085] In some embodiments of this application, step S1 may include the following steps:

[0086] Step S11: Input the simulation excitation signal into the three-dimensional finite element model to perform inductance simulation based on the simulation excitation signal.

[0087] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, an external excitation is added in Simplorer based on the ANSYS platform to perform inductance simulation on the three-dimensional finite element model under external excitation. Specifically, the external excitation is configured as an AC power supply with an effective value of 447.4kV and a frequency of 50Hz, and a load resistor of 100Ω is connected between the transformer element lead-out interface and the external excitation.

[0088] Therefore, the embodiments of this application apply excitation signals to the three-dimensional finite element model, thereby obtaining inductance simulation results more accurately. This provides a more reliable data foundation for subsequent steps such as obtaining the initial inductance matrix and constructing the fault model based on the results, further improving the accuracy of the entire inter-stage short-circuit fault simulation.

[0089] In some embodiments of this application, step S3 may include the following steps:

[0090] Step S31: Call the inductance parameter export command and process the inductance simulation results according to the inductance parameter export command to obtain the initial inductance matrix based on the processing results.

[0091] Specifically, in some embodiments of this application, the command Results\Create Standard Report\Rectangular Plot is executed in Maxwell 3D Design1, all inductors are selected in Winding, and the above-mentioned initial inductance matrix is ​​exported. The initial inductance matrix includes the self-inductance and mutual inductance of each winding.

[0092] Therefore, in this embodiment, the initial inductance matrix can characterize the self-inductance and mutual inductance between each winding. This embodiment accurately obtains the initial inductance matrix characterizing the self-inductance and mutual inductance of each winding from the inductance simulation results by calling the inductance parameter export command. This fully utilizes the high precision characteristics of the three-dimensional finite element model, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency and accuracy of short-circuit fault simulation between tap changer stages.

[0093] Step S33: Obtain the grid-side current ratio coefficient and valve-side current ratio coefficient of each column core of the converter transformer, and convert the initial inductance matrix into the first equivalent inductance matrix corresponding to the three-winding transformer model based on the grid-side current ratio coefficient and valve-side current ratio coefficient.

[0094] Specifically, the grid-side current proportionality coefficient k pm The valve-side current proportionality coefficient k represents the ratio of the grid-side current to the total grid-side current in the m-th core. sm Characterizes the ratio of the valve-side current of the m-th core to the total valve-side current. The grid-side current proportionality coefficient k. pm and valve side current proportionality coefficient k smUsed for subsequent transformation calculations of the initial inductance matrix.

[0095] In this embodiment of the application, the initial inductance matrix between multiple windings of the converter transformer is transformed into the first equivalent inductance matrix of the three-winding transformer model in MATLAB. The transformation calculation is shown in the following formula (1):

[0096]

[0097] In the formula, L pp L represents the self-inductance of the primary winding in a three-winding transformer model. ps L represents the mutual inductance between the primary and secondary windings in a three-winding transformer model. pf L represents the mutual inductance between the primary winding and the fault winding in a three-winding transformer model. sp L represents the mutual inductance between the secondary and primary windings in a three-winding transformer model. ss L represents the self-inductance of the secondary winding in a three-winding transformer model. sf L represents the mutual inductance between the secondary winding and the fault winding in a three-winding transformer model. fp L represents the mutual inductance between the fault winding and the primary winding in a three-winding transformer model. fs L represents the mutual inductance between the fault winding and the secondary winding in a three-winding transformer model. ff L represents the self-inductance of the faulty winding in a three-winding transformer model. ij Let i be the mutual inductance between the i-th winding and the j-th winding of the converter transformer, iep and jep be the number of primary windings of the converter transformer, ies and jes be the number of secondary windings of the converter transformer, ief and jef be the number of fault windings of the converter transformer, and iem and jem be the number of iron cores of the converter transformer.

[0098] As can be seen from the above formula (1), the initial inductance matrix in this embodiment is [L ij The first equivalent inductance matrix is: Furthermore, in the three-winding transformer model, the voltage, current, and first equivalent inductance matrix of the three windings have the relationship shown in the following formula (2):

[0099]

[0100] In the formula, u p u is the primary winding voltage in a three-winding transformer model. s u is the secondary winding voltage in a three-winding transformer model. f Let i be the fault winding voltage in the three-winding transformer model. p Let i be the primary winding current in a three-winding transformer model. sLet i be the secondary winding current in a three-winding transformer model. f This refers to the fault winding current in a three-winding transformer model.

[0101] Step S35: Determine the second equivalent inductance matrix of the three-winding transformer model based on the calculated relationship between the leakage inductance, excitation branch inductance, and the three-winding voltage and current.

[0102] Specifically, the calculation relationship between the leakage inductance, excitation branch inductance, and three-winding voltage and current of the three-winding transformer model is shown in the following formula (3):

[0104] In the formula, L p For the primary leakage inductance of a three-winding transformer model, L s For the secondary leakage inductance of a three-winding transformer model, L x For the excitation branch inductance, k ps k is the voltage ratio between the primary and secondary windings. pf This is the voltage ratio between the primary winding and the faulty winding.

[0105] As can be seen from the above formula (3), the second equivalent inductance matrix is:

[0106]

[0107] Step S37: Determine the target inductance matrix based on the first equivalent inductance matrix and the second equivalent inductance matrix.

[0108] Specifically, based on the comparison of formulas (2) and (3) above, the following formula (4) can be obtained:

[0110] The target inductance matrix is ​​then obtained as shown in the following formula (5):

[0111]

[0112] Therefore, in this embodiment, the initial inductance matrix is ​​converted into a first equivalent inductance matrix by using the grid-side current proportionality coefficient and the valve-side current proportionality coefficient of each column core. Then, the first equivalent inductance matrix and the second equivalent inductance matrix are compared to obtain the target inductance matrix. The target inductance matrix can characterize the equivalent leakage inductance and excitation branch inductance of each winding corresponding to the three-winding transformer model. Thus, the complex electromagnetic situation of inter-stage short circuit of the tap changer is equivalent to a three-winding transformer model with clear physical meaning. While ensuring the accuracy of finite element calculation, the data processing dimension is optimized. Compared with related technologies, it does not have ill-conditioned characteristics, simplifies the processing process, and greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of inter-stage short circuit fault simulation.

[0113] In some embodiments of this application, the three-winding transformer model includes the primary side, the secondary side, and the fault port corresponding to a specified inter-stage short-circuit condition. Further, step S5 above may include the following steps:

[0114] Step S51: Construct a self-developed model based on the three-winding transformer model, and construct the corresponding system external circuit of the self-developed model. The system external circuit includes the short-circuit resistance corresponding to the specified inter-stage short-circuit condition.

[0115] In some embodiments of this application, inter-level short-circuit conditions of +9 and +10 levels are used as examples. Figure 4 This illustrates a self-developed model built using RSCAD and its corresponding external system circuitry. For example... Figure 4 As shown, based on the self-developed model, the short-circuit resistance R is determined. fault and short-circuit resistor R fault The circuit breaker S, connected in series with the inter-stage short-circuit fault circuit breaker S, is connected between the +9 and +10 voltage regulating windings of the converter transformer, thus forming an inter-stage short-circuit fault circuit.

[0116] Among them, the inter-stage short-circuit fault of the converter transformer tap changer involves the internal circuit topology of the tap changer, the voltage regulating leads, and the voltage regulating winding of the converter transformer. In this embodiment, the resistance R of each voltage regulating lead is calculated based on the resistivity provided by the manufacturer. lead The resistance is 0.04Ω, and the loop resistance of the inter-stage short-circuit fault loop is determined as shown in the following formula (6):

[0117] R sc =2R lead +R0+R fault Formula (6)

[0118] In the formula, R sc R0 is the loop resistance of the inter-stage short-circuit fault circuit mentioned above, and R0 is the total resistance of the internal conductors and contacts of the tap changer, which is much smaller than 2R. lead This can be ignored in the calculation. R faultIn this embodiment, the value is 0.01Ω.

[0119] Figure 4 The configuration of the external circuitry corresponding to the self-developed model is also shown, where E S For a three-phase voltage source, Z S L is the line impedance. d For smoothing reactors, N is the grid-side neutral point. The grid-side (Line Side) of the converter transformer refers to the winding side (high-voltage side) directly connected to the AC grid, responsible for receiving or transmitting AC power. The valve side (Valve Side) of the converter transformer refers to the winding side (low-voltage side) connected to the converter valve (such as a thyristor / IGBT bridge), realizing the conversion between AC and DC. The grid-side windings corresponding to each core of the converter transformer are connected in parallel and then connected to the external circuit of the system. The voltage regulating windings are connected to the taps of the tap changer. The voltage regulating leads corresponding to each core are connected in parallel and then connected to the grid-side neutral point. The valve-side windings corresponding to each core are connected in parallel. The valve side of the converter transformer is connected in a star / delta (YD) hybrid configuration. The valve-side output is connected to the rectifier. The configuration between the self-developed model and the external circuit of the system is determined by the above connection method.

[0120] For the faulty double-star (YY) transformer bank, three independent transformers were used for detailed modeling, while the remaining transformer banks were built directly using the system's built-in standardized transformer bank modules. Furthermore, the system's external circuitry was operated at maximum capacity, with AC filters built according to actual parameters, and standard modules from the system's component library selected for the rectifier section.

[0121] Step S52: Determine the first winding resistance on the primary side and the second winding resistance on the secondary side based on the self-developed model.

[0122] Specifically, the first winding resistance is the resistance of the primary winding of the converter transformer relative to the primary side of the three-winding transformer model, and the second winding resistance is the resistance of the secondary winding of the converter transformer relative to the primary side of the three-winding transformer model. That is, the first winding resistance and the second winding resistance are determined by the transformer winding structure and winding material.

[0123] Step S53: Determine the resistance of the third winding of the fault port based on the impedance coupling relationship between the short-circuit resistance of the external circuit and the winding corresponding to the fault port.

[0124] Specifically, the resistance of the third winding is the resistance of the fault branch where the short-circuit resistance is located relative to the fault port of the three-winding transformer model.

[0125] Step S54: Determine the resistance parameters of the three windings based on the resistance of the first winding, the resistance of the second winding, and the resistance of the third winding.

[0126] Specifically, in this embodiment, the resistance parameter [r] of the three windings is [r p ,r s ,r f ], where r p Let r be the resistance of the first winding. s For the resistance of the second winding, r f This is the resistance of the third winding.

[0127] Step S54: Determine the primary side voltage equation based on the calculated relationship between the primary side voltage and current, the first winding resistance, the primary side leakage inductance, and the excitation branch inductance in the Laplace domain.

[0128] Specifically, the above primary-side voltage equation is shown in the following formula (7):

[0129] v1(t)=r p i1(t)+jωL p i1(t)+jωL x Formula (7) is (i1(t)+i2(t)+i3(t))

[0130] In the formula, v1(t) is the primary side voltage in the three-winding transformer model, i1(t) is the primary side current in the three-winding transformer model, i2(t) is the secondary side current in the three-winding transformer model, i3(t) is the fault port current in the three-winding transformer model, and the meanings of other variables in the formula are as described in the previous formula.

[0131] Step S55: Determine the voltage equation of the secondary side based on the calculated relationship between the voltage and current of the secondary side, the resistance of the second winding, the leakage inductance of the secondary side, and the inductance of the excitation branch in the Laplace domain.

[0132] Specifically, the above secondary side voltage equation is shown in the following formula (8):

[0133] v2(t)=r s i2(t)+jωL s i2(t)+jωL x Formula (8) is (i1(t)+i2(t)+i3(t))

[0134] In the formula, v2(t) is the secondary side voltage in the three-winding transformer model, and the meanings of the variables in other formulas are as described in the previous formulas.

[0135] Step S56: Determine the voltage equation of the fault port based on the calculated relationship between the voltage and current of the fault port, the resistance of the third winding, the equivalent leakage inductance, and the inductance of the excitation branch in the Laplace domain.

[0136] Specifically, the above-mentioned fault port voltage equation is shown in the following formula (9):

[0137] v3(t)=r f i3(t)+jωL f i3(t)+jωL x Formula (9) is (i1(t)+i2(t)+i3(t))

[0138] In the formula, v3(t) is the fault port voltage in the three-winding transformer model, and the meanings of other variables in the formula are as described in the previous formula.

[0139] Step S57: Determine the inter-stage short-circuit fault model based on the primary side voltage equation, the secondary side voltage equation, and the fault port voltage equation.

[0140] Specifically, the inter-level short-circuit fault model is constructed using the above formulas (7) to (9).

[0141] Therefore, based on the calculation relationship of voltage, current, winding impedance and inductance in the Laplace domain in the three-winding transformer model, the voltage equations of the primary side, secondary side and fault port are determined respectively, thereby enabling the rapid construction of inter-stage short-circuit fault models on the real-time simulation platform, which is beneficial to improving the real-time performance of subsequent tap changer short-circuit fault simulation results.

[0142] In some embodiments of this application, step S7 may include the following steps:

[0143] Step S71: Solve the inter-stage short-circuit fault model in the time domain to obtain the inter-stage fault current of the converter transformer based on the solution results, and use the inter-stage fault current as the fault simulation result.

[0144] Specifically, the above formulas (7) to (9) are transformed from the Laplace domain to the time domain for solution, and processed using the trapezoidal integral method to obtain the solution result shown in the following formula (10):

[0145] [i(t)]=[g tr Formula (10) is: [v(t)]+[ih(t)]

[0146] In the formula, [i(t)] is the current matrix of the three-winding transformer model at the current time t, v(t) is the voltage matrix of the three-winding transformer model at the current time t, and [g tr [ih(t)] is the voltage function across the transformer terminals of the three-winding transformer model at the current time t, and [ih(t)] is the current function flowing into the transformer at the previous time t-Δt of the three-winding transformer model.

[0147] Among them, [g] is calculated by the following formula (11). tr [ih(t)] is calculated using the following formula (12):

[0148]

[0149] In the formula, Δt is the preset simulation step size, and [r] is the resistance parameter of the three windings, i.e., [r] = [r] p ,r s ,r f [l] represents the target inductance matrix, i.e., [l] = [L]. p ,L s ,L f ,L x [v(t-Δt)] is the voltage matrix of the three-winding transformer model at the previous time t-Δt, and i(t-Δt) is the current matrix of the three-winding transformer model at the previous time t-Δt.

[0150] Therefore, by solving the inter-stage short-circuit fault model in the time domain, the embodiments of this application can transform the model from the Laplace domain to the actual time domain, more intuitively reflecting the electrical characteristics of the converter transformer under a specified inter-stage short-circuit condition, thereby improving the real-time performance of the tap changer short-circuit fault simulation results, providing effective test basis for the reliability verification of the control and protection device, and thus helping to prevent the risk of damage to the converter converter.

[0151] Figure 5(a) shows the simulation results of the inter-stage fault current under the +9 / +10 stage inter-stage short-circuit condition. As shown in Figure 5(a), under the +9 / +10 stage inter-stage short-circuit fault condition, the high-amplitude inter-stage fault current will flow through the fault turn, the voltage regulating lead, and the fault resistor. This short-circuit circulating current reaches a peak value of 33.64kA after the fault. Figure 5(b) shows the simulation results of the converter transformer grid-side current under the +9 / +10 stage inter-stage short-circuit condition. As shown in Figure 5(b), before the fault, the converter transformer grid-side current exhibits a symmetrical trapezoidal waveform. After the +9 / +10 stage inter-stage fault occurs, the grid-side current of the non-faulty phase converter transformer does not change significantly, while the grid-side current of the faulty phase converter transformer shows a significant increase, with the effective value increasing from 0.78kA to 0.97kA, an increase of 25.34%.

[0152] Figure 6(a) shows the simulation results of the inter-stage fault current under the inter-stage short-circuit condition of the -5 / -4 stage. As shown in Figure 6(a), the high-amplitude inter-stage fault current will flow through the fault turn, the voltage regulating lead, and the fault resistor. This short-circuit circulating current reaches a peak value of 48.60 kA after the fault. Figure 6(b) shows the simulation results of the grid-side current of the converter transformer under the inter-stage short-circuit condition of the -5 / -4 stage. As shown in Figure 6(b), the grid-side current of the converter transformer in the faulted phase shows a significant increase, with the effective value increasing from 0.90 kA to 1.23 kA, and the amplitude increasing by 36.13%.
