[0040] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings needed to be used in the embodiments or the prior art description. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the application, and for those skilled in the art, other drawings can also be obtained without creative labor.

[0042] Figure 2 The structural schematic diagram of the converter valve operation test system provided by an embodiment of the application is shown in the figure.

[0043] Figure 3 The internal structure diagram of the computer device provided by an embodiment of the application is shown in the figure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the application.

[0045] In high-voltage direct-current engineering, the converter valve is generally composed of full-bridge modules and half-bridge modules, which is called flexible direct-current converter valve. In the process of product research and development and production, the valve section needs to be tested, and the operation test is one of the important tests. According to the national standard, the converter valve should be tested before being put into use, in order to test the resistance of the valve group to current, voltage and heat and other key stresses under long-term actual operation conditions.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The structure diagram of the related technology of the converter valve operation test system provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure, Figure 1 A feasible converter valve operation test system is shown, which is composed of two valve strings, load reactors, AC charging power supply, DC power supply and the like. The specific test process is to control the AC charging power supply to charge the test product sub-module capacitor voltage to the set value first, and then the AC charging power supply is withdrawn, and the sub-module relies on the DC power supply to supplement the energy and maintain the capacitor voltage stable. The test can form a power cycle between the two valve strings by controlling the amplitude and phase of the output voltage of the two valve strings, and then test the valve string. The DC power supply only supplements the loss power in the power cycle. After waiting for the test to be completed, all power units are immediately locked, and slow discharge is performed by relying on the voltage balancing resistor in the power unit. Generally, the discharge can be completed after tens of minutes.

[0047] Therefore, the existing flexible direct-current converter valve test system needs to configure an additional AC charging power supply in the charging circuit, which is cut off after starting. The utilization rate of the equipment is not high, and the power supply needs to occupy additional land. The converter valve operation test system proposed in the present application does not need an AC charging power supply to charge the valve string, and can realize fast discharge at the end of the test. The test system is simple, and the test and production efficiency of the converter valve is improved.

[0048] In summary, the technical concept of the present application is that the converter valve operation test system and the charging and discharging method of the present application comprehensively solve the problem of high hardware cost and low equipment utilization caused by the dependence on an additional alternating current charging power supply through structure optimization and method innovation. At the system level, the series connection of the first valve string and the second valve string combined with the parallel connection of the auxiliary sub-module and the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply realizes the charging mechanism without external alternating current power supply, significantly reducing the hardware cost and land requirement. At the method level, the phased charging process expands the number of modules through voltage regulation, sequential sub-module investment, reactor auxiliary charging, and synchronous control, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the charging process; the discharging process realizes controllable energy release through latching trigger pulse, phased voltage reduction, and energy release mechanism. In addition, the pre-detection, real-time monitoring, and dynamic adjustment mechanism further improves the robustness and adaptive ability of the system. Overall, the present application simplifies the system structure while significantly improving the efficiency, safety, and economy of the converter valve test, providing efficient and reliable test support for the research and production of flexible converter valves.

[0049] The method provided by the present application is described in detail below according to the corresponding embodiments in some practical application scenarios.

[0050] The present application provides a converter valve operation test system, which comprises:

[0051] A first valve string and a second valve string, each valve string comprising a plurality of sub-modules, each sub-module of each valve string being connected in series, and an auxiliary sub-module being arranged at a first end of the first valve string, the first end of the first valve string and the first end of the second valve string being connected to each other and grounded;

[0052] Wherein, the sub-module comprises a full-bridge module or a half-bridge module;

[0053] A bidirectional controllable direct current power supply is connected in parallel across the auxiliary sub-module;

[0054] Wherein, the voltage of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply is adjustable and matches the operating voltage of the system;

[0055] An electric reactor is connected between the second end of the first valve string and the second end of the second valve string;

[0056] A discharging resistor is connected in series with the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply;

[0057] A first switch and a second switch, the first switch being connected in parallel with the discharging resistor, and the second switch being connected in series with the discharging resistor.

[0058] Specifically, based on the actual application scenario, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2The structure schematic diagram of the converter valve operation test system provided by an embodiment of the present application is composed of a first valve string composed of a reactor L, sub-modules SM1-SM5, a second valve string composed of sub-modules SM6-SM10, a bidirectional controllable direct current power supply E, and a first switch S1 and a second switch S2 and a discharge resistor Rs. It should be noted that:

[0059] In actual application scenarios, the number of modules on the two valve strings is at least greater than 5, and can be composed of full-bridge modules, half-bridge modules or a mixture of the two. This diagram takes 5 half-bridge modules as an example. The specific description of the method side implementation in the present application is also based on this structure.

[0060] The module SM5 is an auxiliary sub-module, and the direct current power supply E connected in parallel at the direct current side is a bidirectional controllable direct current power supply, that is, it has the functions of charging and discharging, and the voltage is adjustable, the highest voltage can cover the highest operating voltage of the power module, and the charging power is greater than the loss power in the operation process of the test system device. The function of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply E is to charge the system at the beginning of the test, supplement the loss power during operation, and accelerate the discharge of the system at the end of the test.

[0061] In Figure 2 , the first end of the auxiliary sub-module side, that is, the first valve string and the second valve string, is connected to each other and grounded, and the reactor end, that is, the second end of the first valve string and the second valve string.

[0062] The converter valve operation test system provided by the present application realizes the charging mechanism without additional configuration of an alternating current charging power supply through the design of the series connection of the first valve string and the second valve string, the setting of the auxiliary sub-module at the end of the first valve string, and the parallel connection of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply at both ends of the auxiliary sub-module. The voltage adjustable characteristic of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply matches the system operating voltage, ensuring that the charging process is consistent with the actual working condition; the reactor is connected between the two valve strings to provide current buffer for the charging process; the discharge resistor is connected in series with the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply, and cooperates with the phased control of the first switch and the second switch to realize the controllable release of energy. The synergistic effect of the above technical features effectively solves the problem of high hardware cost and low equipment utilization caused by the dependence on additional alternating current charging power supply in the prior art, simplifies the system structure, and improves the practicality and economy of the test system.

[0063] Correspondingly, the present application provides a charging method for a converter valve operation test system, which is applied to the system as described in any of the embodiments, and the method comprises:

[0064] Adjusting the output voltage of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply to the rated operating voltage of the sub-module;

[0065] Closing the second switch to apply an initial voltage to the auxiliary sub-module and the second valve string by the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply.

[0066] At this time, each submodule (the capacitor corresponding to the submodule) in the second valve string is charged to 1 / 5 of the rated operating voltage, and the second valve string is activated at this time.

[0067] According to the preset sequence, the submodules of the second valve string are sequentially put in until the voltage of all the submodules in the second valve string reaches the rated operating voltage of the submodule;

[0068] In an actual application scenario, in Figure 2 Under the structure shown, the preset sequence can be from the second end to the first end, that is, SM6 is sequentially put in one by one until SM10 is charged, and the five submodules are all charged from 1 / 5 of the rated operating voltage to the vicinity of the rated operating voltage.

[0069] A preset number of submodules in the second valve string are put in to charge the first valve string through the reactor;

[0070] The preset number can be 2 in an actual application scenario, that is, any two submodules are put in to charge the submodules other than the auxiliary submodule in the first valve string.

[0071] The switch tubes of the first valve string and the second valve string are synchronously controlled, the number of modules put in the first valve string and the second valve string is gradually expanded, and after all the submodules of the first valve string and the second valve string are charged, the first switch is closed and the converter valve operation test system is started.

[0072] The charging method provided in the application adjusts the output voltage of the bidirectional controllable direct-current power supply to the rated operating voltage of the submodule, and closes the second switch to apply an initial voltage to the auxiliary submodule and the second valve string, thereby realizing preliminary charging of the valve string. Subsequently, the submodules of the second valve string are sequentially put in according to the preset sequence to ensure that the voltage of all the submodules reaches the rated value; then, a preset number of submodules are put in to charge the first valve string through the reactor. Finally, the switch tubes of the two valve strings are synchronously controlled to gradually expand the number of modules put in, and the first switch is closed to start the test after charging is completed. The method avoids voltage mutation and current impact through a phased and sequential charging process, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the charging process.

[0073] As an optional implementation, the synchronous control of the switch tubes of the first valve string and the second valve string to gradually expand the number of modules put in the first valve string and the second valve string includes:

[0074] Initially, two submodules are put in the first valve string and the second valve string, and the number of modules put in is increased according to a preset time interval until all the submodules of the first valve string and the second valve string are put in;

[0075] And, in the process of incrementally putting the sub-modules into operation, when the difference between the capacitance voltages of the sub-modules in any valve string exceeds a safety threshold, the expansion of the number of sub-modules is suspended and the voltage equalization control in the valve string is triggered.

[0076] In this embodiment, the number of sub-modules in operation in the two valve strings is controlled in real time according to the charging rate and the charging condition of each sub-module.

[0077] In the process of synchronously controlling the switching tubes of the two valve strings, the initial number of sub-modules put into operation is two and the number is gradually increased, and the expansion mechanism of the preset time interval is combined to realize the smooth input of the sub-modules. In addition, when it is detected that the difference between the capacitance voltages of the sub-modules in any valve string exceeds a safety threshold, the expansion is suspended and the voltage equalization control is triggered. This design ensures the balance of the voltage during charging, prevents the device from being damaged or the system from failing due to excessive voltage difference, and further improves the reliability of the system.

[0078] As an optional embodiment, before adjusting the output voltage of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply to the rated operating voltage of the sub-modules, the method further comprises a pre-detection step, specifically comprising:

[0079] Detecting the initial capacitance voltage of each sub-module in the first valve string and the second valve string;

[0080] If the initial capacitance voltage of any sub-module is abnormal, a pre-discharge process is triggered until the capacitance voltage of each sub-module reaches a safe range.

[0081] Before adjusting the voltage of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply, the pre-detection step is used to detect the conduction state of the diode and the switching tube and the initial capacitance voltage of each sub-module. If the initial conduction state of the diode and the switching tube is found to be abnormal, the device can be repaired and replaced, or the voltage condition can be further tested. If the voltage is found to be abnormal, a pre-discharge process is triggered until the capacitance voltage returns to a safe range. In this way, potential failure risks can be eliminated before charging to ensure circuit safety and provide a stable foundation for subsequent charging process, thereby improving the robustness and test success rate of the system.

[0082] As an optional embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0083] Real-time monitoring of the capacitance voltage of each sub-module;

[0084] If the voltage fluctuation exceeds a safety threshold, the input process of the corresponding sub-module is suspended, and the output voltage of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply is dynamically adjusted.

[0085] The embodiment monitors the capacitor voltage of each sub-module in real time, suspends the input of the corresponding sub-module when the voltage fluctuation exceeds the safety threshold, and dynamically adjusts the output voltage of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply. The mechanism can respond to voltage abnormalities in time, avoid local overvoltage or undervoltage problems, ensure the stability of the charging process, and improve the adaptive ability of the system.

[0086] Correspondingly, the application provides a discharge method of a converter valve operation test system, which is applied to the system as described in any of the embodiments of the application, and the method comprises:

[0087] locking all sub-module trigger pulses and disconnecting the first switch;

[0088] triggering the switch tube connected in series with the capacitor in each sub-module in the second valve string to conduct, reducing the voltage of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply to zero in stages, and then triggering all the sub-modules in the first valve string and the second valve string to release the residual energy through the discharge resistor.

[0089] The discharge method provided by the application blocks the energy input by locking all sub-module trigger pulses and disconnecting the first switch, then triggers the first switch tube of the second valve string sub-module to conduct, reduces the voltage of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply to zero in stages, and finally releases the residual energy through the discharge resistor. The method realizes the controllable release of energy in stages, avoids the damage of devices or the impact of the system caused by sudden energy release, and ensures the safety of the discharge process.

[0090] As an optional embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0091] locking the trigger pulse of the second valve string and disconnecting the second switch until all the sub-modules in the first valve string and the second valve string complete the discharge when the capacitor voltage of each sub-module is discharged to a preset value.

[0092] The embodiment locks the trigger pulse of the second valve string and disconnects the second switch until all the sub-modules complete the discharge when the capacitor voltage of each sub-module is discharged to a preset value. By locking and disconnecting in stages, the discharge end point is accurately controlled, the energy backflow or device damage caused by excessive residual voltage is prevented, and the integrity of the discharge process is further improved.

[0093] As an optional embodiment, after locking the trigger pulse of the second valve string when the capacitor voltage of each sub-module is discharged to a preset value, the method further comprises:

[0094] detecting the residual voltage of each sub-module;

[0095] If the voltage of any sub-module capacitor is higher than the safety threshold, the second switch is kept closed and the discharge continues until the corresponding capacitor voltage is reduced below the safety threshold.

[0096] In this embodiment, the residual voltage of each sub-module is detected in real time during the discharge process. If the voltage of any sub-module capacitor is higher than the safety threshold, the second switch is kept closed and the discharge continues until the corresponding capacitor voltage is reduced below the safety threshold. This mechanism ensures that the residual energy of all sub-modules is completely discharged through dynamic monitoring and active intervention, eliminating safety hazards and improving the safety redundancy of the system.

[0097] The above embodiments can be combined or reasonably extended based on actual application scenarios. Based on the structure given below, the charging and discharging processes are further described. Figure 2

[0098] During the charging process, at the start, the second switch S2 is first closed, and the bidirectional controllable DC power supply E is boosted to the rated operating voltage of the sub-modules, charging the auxiliary sub-module SM5 and the second valve string. The charging circuit is formed through the diodes D1 of each sub-module in the first valve string and the second valve string. The capacitors of each sub-module in the second valve string can be charged to 1 / 5 of the rated operating voltage of the sub-modules. At this time, the second valve string has been started, its auxiliary power supply is working normally, and its switch tube can be driven.

[0099] Then, by controlling the switch tubes in the second valve string, the sub-modules SM6-SM10 are sequentially put into operation, one module at a time. In this way, each sub-module in the second valve string is charged to the vicinity of the rated operating voltage of the sub-modules.

[0100] Then, the switch tubes of the second valve string are controlled to put in any two sub-modules. At this time, SM1-SM4 in the first valve string are charged, and the charging circuit is the diode D1 in the first valve string. At this time, the first valve string has been started, its auxiliary power supply is working normally, and its switch tube can be driven.

[0101] Finally, the switch tubes of the first valve string and the second valve string are controlled to pulse, and each valve string is put into the same number of sub-modules at a time. In this example, 2, 3, 4, and 5 sub-modules are put in. After all the sub-modules in the two valve strings are charged, the first switch S1 is closed, and the valve string completes the starting process.

[0102] After the test is completed, discharge is performed, and the trigger pulses of all sub-modules are first locked.

[0103] Then, the first switch S1 is opened;

[0104] ​Then, the pulse of each sub-module T1 tube in the second valve string is triggered, and the voltage of the bidirectional controllable direct current power supply E is slowly reduced to 0V. At this time, the voltage of all sub-module capacitors will discharge to the discharge resistor Rs. Until the voltage of the capacitor is reduced to close to the lower limit of the working voltage of the sub-module power supply, the trigger pulse of the second valve string is blocked, the second switch S2 is turned off, and the discharge process is completed after the residual sub-module voltage is naturally discharged.
