Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a hybrid converter station reliability calculation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] To promote the green transformation of energy structure, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of large-scale wind and photovoltaic bases in "sand and desert" areas. These areas have abundant new energy resources, but energy loss in long-distance power transmission and resource cross-regional scheduling difficulties seriously restrict the large-scale development and utilization of new energy. To solve the above problems, it is urgent to develop extra-high voltage and large-capacity long-distance DC power transmission technology. Among them, the line commutated converter (LCC) and modular multilevel converter (MMC) are the main technical solutions.

[0003] As an important part of modern power systems, the operation stability and safety of hybrid converter stations directly affect power transmission. To ensure long-term operation of the system, it is necessary to ensure the performance of the converter station under different fault modes and operating conditions, making the reliability evaluation of the hybrid converter station one of the key problems. Since LCC and MMC have different characteristics in terms of technical performance and reliability, the applicable scenarios are significantly different. When evaluating the overall reliability level of the hybrid converter station, the interaction between LCC and MMC during operation needs to be considered. By quantitatively analyzing the operating characteristics of both, a reliability evaluation model that considers factors such as redundancy configuration and commutation failure is established to accurately evaluate the reliability of the converter station. For LCC reliability research, existing research mainly uses analytical methods, including probability distribution method and frequency and duration (FD) method based on Markov process, but none of them fully considers the commutation failure scenario. In addition, some research introduces a virtual device of commutation failure (VDoCF) model to quantify the impact of the first commutation failure, but does not consider subsequent commutation failures. MMC is composed of a series of sub-modules, and there is a complex interactive coupling influence between sub-modules. Analytical methods are difficult to effectively handle, and related evaluation methods mainly use Monte Carlo simulation. Under the Monte Carlo simulation framework, existing research has proposed reliability calculation methods from the perspective of classical probability, distribution function, etc., but such analytical methods only consider a single sub-module, which is not applicable to scenarios with mixed sub-modules. In research focusing on mixed sub-modules, correlation functions are used to handle the correlation between sub-modules, and the reliability of mixed MMC with and without redundancy configuration is calculated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present application can be implemented in various different ways as limited and covered by the claims.

[0018] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, as shown in the present application, a hybrid converter station reliability calculation method is proposed, which is mainly applied to a hybrid converter station as shown in the present application. Figure 1 The hybrid converter station includes a first subsystem 1 and a second subsystem 2, and the probability of different operating states of the calculation subsystem is calculated to achieve mathematical equivalence, so that the hybrid converter station composed of different types of converter stations such as LCC and MMC can be analyzed for overall reliability through mathematical formulas. Figure 2 The hybrid converter station is briefly introduced here:

[0019] The first subsystem 1 is a hybrid multi-level converter (MMC), in order to more comprehensively analyze the interaction between submodules, the hybrid multi-level converter as shown in the present application is selected, which is composed of half-bridge submodules (HBSM) and full-bridge submodules (FBSM). Figure 3 The second subsystem 2 is a line commutated converter (LCC), the line commutated converter selected by the present application is distinguished according to the commutation direction, which can only be a line commutated converter rectifier side as shown in Fig. 4(a), or a line commutated converter inverter side as shown in Fig. 4(b), the difference between the line commutated converter inverter side and the line commutated converter rectifier side is that the line commutated converter inverter side has multiple series commutation failure simulation modules.

[0020] In combination with Figs. 3, 4(a) and 4(b), the hybrid converter station reliability calculation method as shown in the present application is described in detail as follows:

[0021] In combination with Figs. 3, 4(a) and 4(b), the hybrid converter station reliability calculation method as shown in the present application is described in detail as follows: Figure 3 Figure 1 ​​​Step S101: determining a first probability model based on the hybrid multi-level converter, the first probability model being a probability model in each capacity state of the hybrid multi-level converter; Since a single function has limitations in fitting when describing complex relationships, in order to more accurately describe the complex interactive coupling influence characteristics between the submodules of the hybrid multi-level converter, the first quantity Copula correlation function under the Archimedean Copula function family is selected, for example, N Gumbel, Clayton, Frank functions are used as analysis tools, the first quantity Copula correlation function is mixed with weights in a mathematical form, then the first quantity Copula correlation functions are combined, and then the optimal Copula function is obtained, and the optimal Copula function is used to represent the coupling relationship between the submodules of the hybrid multi-level converter. The process of determining the optimal Copula function is as follows: Firstly, the maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the correlation coefficient of each Copula function θ .

[0022] (1) In the formula, C represents a certain Copula function; n is the number of data groups; N is the number of submodules to be analyzed; F is a life distribution function, and argmax represents finding the value of that makes the log-likelihood function take the maximum value. θ For example, if 100 groups of cumulative distribution function data of 200 submodules are analyzed, then n=100, N =200).

[0023] Secondly, the weight coefficient of each copula function constituting the optimal copula function is calculated a i Each copula function generally includes an empirical copula function and a theoretical copula function, and the formula of the empirical copula function is: (2) In the formula, I (•) is an indicator function; is the rank statistic of the life sample T 1,…, T N .

[0024] The Euclidean distance between the theoretical Copula function and the empirical Copula function is: (3) Further select the Euclidean distance between the theoretical Copula function and the empirical Copula function As the weight coefficient of Copula.

[0025] Further, the combination of a plurality of Copula functions is obtained to express the optimal Copula function of the mixed MMC reliability, so as to represent the mutual relationship between the selected sub-modules: (4) Wherein, the subscript To distinguish different kinds of Copula functions, and have: (5) Therefore, combined with the N dimension Gumbel, Clayton, Frank function form, the optimal Copula function form is: (6) Wherein, p The number of F ( T ) is equal to The weight of Gumbel, Clayton, Frank function respectively; N The number of sub-modules to be analyzed, that is, the number of distribution functions F .

[0026] After obtaining the above optimal Copula function, the reliability evaluation model of the hybrid multi-level converter can be constructed according to the optimal Copula function, and then the first probability model is determined according to the reliability evaluation model of the hybrid multi-level converter. The process of constructing the reliability evaluation model of the hybrid multi-level converter is as follows: In order to ensure the reliability of the hybrid multi-level converter, in actual engineering, redundant sub-modules are generally configured for the sub-modules of the MMC, so that when the initial configuration sub-module fails, the redundant sub-module can be put into operation to replace the failed sub-module, and the normal operation of the hybrid multi-level converter is ensured. The failure of full-bridge sub-module FBSM and half-bridge sub-module HBSM will cause the failure of MMC, only when the normal operation of FBSM and HBSM is N F、 N H , can the MMC operate normally; and the FBSM redundant sub-module with fault current breaking capacity can replace the damaged HBSM.

[0027] Regarding Figure 3The reliability of hybrid MMC with both FBSM and HBSM is modeled, which is more complex than single MMC with only one type of sub-module because of the different sub-module replacement scenarios during fault. The reliability analysis model is established for each working mode.

[0028] Firstly, the first reliability model of hybrid MMC is determined according to the optimal Copula function, which considers the correlation between all sub-modules in the first case, i.e., the half-bridge sub-modules and full-bridge sub-modules in the hybrid MMC do not need to replace each other. The specific process is as follows: When the half-bridge sub-modules and full-bridge sub-modules do not need to replace each other, the reliability distribution function of each bridge arm configuration is N H + N 0H where n is the number of half-bridge sub-modules, N H is the number of normal half-bridge sub-modules, N 0H is the number of redundant half-bridge sub-modules. Let the number of sub-modules currently in normal working state be j , the sub-module life samples are arranged according to the working state, the normal sub-modules are , and the faulty sub-modules are . The reliability distribution function of half-bridge sub-modules is (7) There is a -dimensional Copula such that the joint distribution is (8) In equation (8), p is the number of F ( T ).

[0029] According to the Sklar theorem, equation (7) is expressed as a Copula function composed of two joint distribution functions, and the following equation is obtained: (9) where , , M is the number of Monte Carlo sampling times. is a N -dimensional hybrid copula function, and its expansion form is shown in equation (6).

[0030] The specific derivation of equation (9) is as follows: (10) "expressed as a Copula function composed of two joint distribution functions" refers to the two functions (min, max) in P subtracted in the second step can also be written as a Copula function.

[0031] Since the reliability distribution function of the aforementioned half-bridge sub-module is the same as the reliability reasoning process of the full-bridge sub-module when it is normal, there is also a dimension Copula , so that the joint distribution is: (11) According to the Sklar theorem, formula (11) is expressed as a Copula function composed of two joint distribution functions, and the reliability of the bridge arm of the full-bridge sub-module is obtained: (12) Therefore, the first reliability model of the hybrid multi-level converter considering the correlation of all sub-modules in the first case is as follows: (13) In the formula, is the first reliability model.

[0032] Secondly, according to the optimal Copula function, the second reliability model of the hybrid multi-level converter considering the correlation of all sub-modules in the second case is determined, and the second case is that the half-bridge sub-module and the full-bridge sub-module in the hybrid multi-level converter need to replace each other. The specific process is as follows: When FBSM and HBSM need to replace each other, that is, when the number of half-bridge redundant modules is insufficient to replace all faulty half-bridge sub-modules, the remaining redundant full-bridge modules need to be called by the converter station for supplement until the total number of running half-bridge sub-modules returns to the minimum number required for normal work. At this time, the half-bridge sub-module is equivalent to the normally working sub-module in case one , and the reliability distribution function of the half-bridge sub-module is obtained by substituting formula (8) as: (14) Among them, .

[0033] According to the first case, the same operation is performed on the full-bridge sub-module, and j F sub-modules are selected to be normal, which is: ; At the same time, the total number of full-bridge and half-bridge faults is ensured not to exceed the total redundancy, so that the half-bridge can work normally after replacement, so the remaining standby sub-modules N 0 changes with the number of faulty sub-modules. Similarly, according to formula (8), the reliability formula of the full-bridge sub-module is obtained as: (15) wherein, j F number of failed sub-modules, remaining sub-modules .

[0034] The second reliability model of the hybrid MMC in the second case, considering the correlation of all sub-modules, is: (16) wherein, is the first reliability model.

[0035] Finally, the reliability evaluation model of the hybrid MMC can be constructed according to the first reliability model and the second reliability model: (17) wherein, is the reliability evaluation model of the hybrid MMC.

[0036] After the reliability evaluation model of the hybrid MMC is constructed, since the relationship between the reliability function and the failure rate satisfies the exponential change, the first failure rate of the hybrid MMC can be determined, and the first failure rate is the failure rate of a single sub-module of the hybrid MMC after considering the coupling and replaceability between sub-modules . (18) The change of the converter station state is mainly triggered by events such as failure occurrence or repair completion, and the dynamic processes are described by state variables. The failure and recovery processes of the sub-modules are quantified by parameters such as failure rate, repair rate and installation rate. Based on the state transition diagram, the state transition rate matrix of the system can be established, and the probabilities of the converter station in different states are obtained by solving the linear equation set, thereby realizing the evaluation of the reliability of the converter station.

[0037] Therefore, according to the first failure rate, the first state transition diagram of the hybrid MMC as shown in Figure 5 can be constructed, and then according to the first state transition diagram, the first state transition matrix of the hybrid MMC as shown below can be determined, as shown in the following formula: (19) wherein, N is the number of all sub-modules of an arm of the MMC, is the recovery rate of a single sub-module, is the installation rate of a single sub-module (refer to existing data).

[0038] ​After obtaining the first state transition matrix, the first probability model of formula (21) can be determined by combining the linear equations of formula (20) As follows: (20) Wherein, is the first probability model, and the first probability model is a probability model of each capacity state of the hybrid multi-level converter is the state of the converter station, P is the probability of each state in the Figure 5

[0039] (21) Wherein, is the probability of being in outage in each operating state (1 to S ) calculated by formula (20), is the probability of being in reduced capacity operation in each operating state (1 to ) calculated by formula (20), S is the probability of being in normal operation in each operating state (1 to ) calculated by formula (20). S The number of normal operating sub-modules of the MMC converter station can be 100% of the normal operating capacity, 50% of the reduced capacity operating capacity and 0% of the outage capacity, and the number of corresponding sub-modules is determined according to the actual engineering; the probabilities in each state calculated above are classified and added according to the available capacity levels provided by the LCC and the MMC, and then substituted into formula (44) to calculate the reliability of the hybrid converter station. Step S102: determining a second probability model based on the grid commutation converter, the second probability model being a probability model of each capacity state of the grid commutation converter;

[0040] First, a grid commutation converter reliability evaluation model is constructed according to the grid commutation converter, and then the second probability model is determined according to the grid commutation converter reliability evaluation model.

[0041] Step S102: determining a second probability model based on the grid commutation converter, the second probability model being a probability model of each capacity state of the grid commutation converter; First, a grid commutation converter reliability evaluation model is constructed according to the grid commutation converter, and then the second probability model is determined according to the grid commutation converter reliability evaluation model.

[0042] ​​The grid commutated converter is distinguished according to the commutation direction, and can only be the grid commutated converter rectifier side or the grid commutated converter inverter side. Therefore, the grid commutated converter reliability evaluation model is either the grid commutated converter rectifier side reliability evaluation model or the grid commutated converter inverter side reliability evaluation model. That is, according to the grid commutated converter, two specific technical solutions are constructed for the grid commutated converter reliability evaluation model, one of which is to construct the grid commutated converter rectifier side reliability evaluation model according to the grid commutated converter, and the other is to construct the grid commutated converter inverter side reliability evaluation model according to the grid commutated converter.

[0043] The grid commutated converter rectifier side reliability evaluation model is constructed as follows: As shown in FIG. 4(a), each pole group of the LCC rectifier side converter station is shown, the system is composed of series and parallel components, first, the series reliability parameters of the two cascaded components of the circuit breaker and the transformer are calculated according to the positive pole, then the obtained parameters are calculated in the same way as the valve, and the series reliability parameters of the four positive pole components are obtained in this way; the formula is expressed as: (22) Wherein: (23) Wherein, is the failure rate of the positive pole of the grid commutated converter rectifier side, is the failure frequency of the positive pole of the grid commutated converter rectifier side, both of which constitute the positive pole reliability evaluation model of the grid commutated converter rectifier side, and subscripts a, b, c and d respectively represent the circuit breaker, the transformer, the valve and the reactor, is the failure rate of the aforementioned component, is the failure frequency of the aforementioned component, is the repair time of the aforementioned component arranged in the rectifier side, which is obtained according to actual engineering data.

[0044] By substituting the above formula (22)-(23) into the circuit breaker, transformer, valve and reactor parameters of the rectifier side negative pole, the failure rate of the grid commutated converter rectifier side negative pole λ r负 , the failure frequency of the grid commutated converter rectifier side negative pole , both of which constitute the negative pole reliability evaluation model of the grid commutated converter rectifier side: (24) Finally, since the positive pole and the negative pole of the grid commutated converter rectifier side are in parallel, the grid commutated converter rectifier side reliability evaluation model is obtained as: (25) in, is the failure rate of the rectifier side of the grid commutation converter, is the fault frequency on the rectifier side of the grid commutation converter, To obtain the repair time of the positive and negative electrodes on the rectifier side, calculate according to the following formula: (26) in, are the series repair time of two cascade components, namely, circuit breaker and transformer, and valve and reactor; for Repair time of four positive electrode assemblies in series calculated.

[0045] Similarly, the repair time of the negative pole of the rectifier side LCC is obtained by substituting the parameters of the circuit breaker, transformer, valve and reactor into formula (26): (27) in, are the series repair time of the two cascade components of circuit breaker and transformer, valve and reactor after substituting the negative pole parameters; for Repair time of four negative electrode assemblies in series calculated.

[0046] After a commutation failure occurs, the LCC will be forced to exit operation. When constructing the inverter-side reliability model, the fault simulation module is taken into consideration as a series element. The composition of the LCC inverter-side converter station is shown in Figure 4 (b).

[0047] The reliability parameter calculation of the LCC inverter side in Figure 4 (b) is the same as that in Figure 4 (a), except that a commutation failure simulation module is connected in series on both the positive and negative poles. The parameter calculation process will be described in detail later. Finally, the positive pole reliability assessment model of the inverter side of the grid commutation converter is obtained by the same calculation method according to Equation (22): (28) in: (29) In the formula , is the failure rate of the positive pole on the inverter side of the grid commutation converter, is the fault frequency of the positive pole on the inverter side of the grid commutation converter, and the two together constitute the positive pole reliability assessment model on the inverter side of the grid commutation converter. Refers to circuit breaker, transformer, valve and reactor respectively, is the failure rate of the aforementioned components, is the failure frequency of the aforementioned components, is the repair time of each component in the rectifier side, which is obtained according to actual engineering data, is the failure rate of the commutation failure simulation module.

[0048] Similarly, according to formula (28) and (29), the parameters of the circuit breaker, transformer, valve, reactor and commutation failure simulation module of the negative electrode of the inverter side are substituted to calculate the failure rate of the negative electrode of the inverter side of the grid commutation converter , the failure frequency of the negative electrode of the inverter side of the grid commutation converter , which together constitute the reliability evaluation model of the negative electrode of the inverter side of the grid commutation converter: (30) Finally, considering the parallel connection of the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the inverter side of the grid commutation converter, the reliability evaluation model of the LCC inverter side is obtained by the same calculation method according to formula (25): (31) wherein, is the failure rate of the inverter side of the grid commutation converter, is the failure frequency of the inverter side of the grid commutation converter, is the repair time of the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the inverter side, since the commutation failure simulation module is a module only for quantifying the failure probability, the repair time is not considered, so According to formula (26) and (27), the parameters of the circuit breaker, transformer, valve and reactor of the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the inverter side are substituted to calculate: (32) Similarly, according to formula (32), the repair time of the circuit breaker, transformer, valve and reactor parameters of the negative electrode of the inverter side is substituted: (33) wherein, respectively, are the series repair times of the two cascaded components of the circuit breaker and the transformer, the valve and the reactor after substituting the parameters of the negative electrode of the inverter side; is the series repair time of the four negative electrode components calculated in series.

[0049] The above commutation failure simulation module parameters are calculated according to the commutation failure probability calculation model, that is, the reliability evaluation model of the inverter side of the grid commutation converter in the present application is determined according to the grid commutation converter and the commutation failure probability calculation model. The construction process of the above commutation failure probability calculation model is as follows: The operation state of the converter station is mainly divided into three-phase voltage symmetric change and asymmetric fault, both of which can occur commutation success or failure, which depends on the size of the turn-off angle and the minimum turn-off angle (the minimum turn-off angle in engineering application, the turn-off angle of the inverter is generally 15°-18°).

[0050] For three-phase voltage symmetric change, the calculation formula of the turn-off angle is: (34) wherein, is the firing angle, is the electric angle at which the voltage drop occurs; is the DC current; is the commutation reactance; is the effective value of the AC line voltage, is the effective value of the voltage after the change, is the time delay of the voltage change relative to the valve firing time, and is ( is the power frequency angle frequency, 100 π ).

[0051] And for asymmetric fault, the calculation formula of the turn-off angle is: (35) wherein, A is the symmetric component of the voltage waveform during commutation, which is taken as ; B is the asymmetric component, which is taken as .

[0052] Because the factors affecting commutation failure are different under different fault modes, i.e., the first influencing factor affecting the first commutation failure and the second influencing factor affecting the subsequent commutation failure are different, the different fault modes covering commutation failure are first obtained, and then the influence of these factors on the turn-off angle is considered, and whether the commutation fails is judged according to the turn-off angle result, so as to accurately characterize the commutation failure characteristics.

[0053] For the first commutation failure, the first influencing factor is summarized as four points: commutation voltage drop amplitude, commutation voltage amplitude change rate, fault occurrence time, and DC current.

[0054] For the subsequent commutation failure, the second influencing factor includes the influencing factors of three-phase symmetric and asymmetric faults, and the influencing factors of the two are different. The main reason for the subsequent commutation failure under three-phase symmetry is that the commutation voltage amplitude is too low and the DC current is too large. After the first commutation failure, the LCC will pass through the low-voltage current limiting link, so when analyzing the subsequent commutation failure, the low-voltage current limiting strategy also needs to be considered, i.e.: (36) Where, DC voltage , current limit value All are expressed in per-unit values.

[0055] The main cause of asymmetric faults is the advanced firing angle The fluctuation contains both the second harmonic component and regular fluctuation with a period of 6 commutations: (37) in, is the DC current change, is the DC component; is the amplitude of the second harmonic component; is the phase of the 2nd harmonic component; is the phase interval of adjacent phase voltages when a fault occurs, is the number of commutation times, is the power frequency angular frequency, equal to 100 π , For the m The actual leading trigger angle of the commutation phase is is the initial value of the actual advance trigger angle.

[0056] The above factors will affect the AC voltage amplitude in equations (34) and (35).
