Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new energy power generation, specifically relating to a method for calculating short-circuit current in a hybrid power frequency and low frequency transmission system for offshore wind power. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the construction of offshore wind farms is gradually shifting from short-distance, small-capacity operations to large-scale, deep-sea operations. When offshore wind farms are located beyond a certain distance from the shore, the traditional power frequency AC transmission method suffers from excessive reactive power consumption due to the equivalent capacitance of the submarine cable. In this case, using flexible low-frequency transmission is a more economical and effective solution.
[0003] Because low-frequency power transmission technology is not yet mature and key low-frequency equipment has not yet been mass-produced and applied, the construction cost of low-frequency power transmission projects is relatively high, and it only has a cost advantage under specific capacity and transmission distance conditions. The transmission distance and transmission capacity of offshore wind farms are often limited by a variety of factors, which makes the application scenarios of using low-frequency power transmission alone very limited. Adopting a hybrid power frequency and low-frequency power transmission scheme can expand the application scope of offshore wind power low-frequency power transmission technology.
[0004] However, the topology and control and protection strategies of offshore power frequency and low frequency hybrid transmission systems are relatively complex. The system includes various power electronic devices such as M3C converters, energy-consuming devices, and wind turbine converters, as well as multiple switching devices such as low-frequency and power frequency circuit breakers. This leads to complex system operating conditions and the short-circuit current calculation principle is not yet clear. Existing research has not yet proposed a method for calculating the short-circuit current of offshore power frequency and low frequency hybrid transmission systems. There is an urgent need to propose a method for calculating the short-circuit current of offshore wind power power frequency and low frequency hybrid transmission systems to provide guidance for the selection and design of electrical equipment in the project. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of complex operating conditions and unclear short-circuit current calculation principles in offshore power frequency and low-frequency hybrid transmission systems, and the lack of a proposed method for calculating short-circuit current in such systems in existing research.

[0032] First, according to Figure 1 The system shown is based on electromagnetic transient simulation software, which establishes an electromagnetic transient simulation model of a hybrid power frequency and low frequency transmission system for offshore wind power.
[0033] Three-phase ground fault, two-phase ground fault, two-phase phase-to-phase fault, and single-phase ground fault conditions were respectively set up on the low-frequency collecting submarine cable 5. After the fault occurred and the first circuit breaker operated for a period of time, the low-frequency collecting submarine cable circuit breakers 6 on both sides of the faulty submarine cable were disconnected.

[0034] Three-phase grounding short-circuit fault, two-phase grounding short-circuit fault, two-phase phase-to-phase short-circuit fault, and single-phase grounding short-circuit fault were respectively set at point 15 of the low-frequency transmission submarine cable. After the fault occurred, the M3C converter 20 was locked after the first protection action time. After the M3C converter was locked, the land-based 220kV power frequency circuit breaker 24 opened after the second circuit breaker action time. After the M3C converter was locked, the land-based low-frequency 220kV circuit breaker 17 opened after the third circuit breaker action time. The marine low-frequency 220kV circuit breaker 13 did not operate.

[0035] Three-phase ground fault conditions were set at the valve side of onshore power frequency connection transformer 23, the valve side of onshore low frequency connection transformer 18, and the valve side of bridge arm reactor 28. After the fault occurred, the M3C converter 20 was locked after the second protection action time. After the M3C converter was locked, the onshore power frequency 220kV circuit breaker 24 was opened after the second circuit breaker action time. After the M3C converter was locked, the onshore low frequency 220kV circuit breaker 17 was opened after the third circuit breaker action time. The offshore low frequency 220kV circuit breaker 13 did not operate. The short-circuit current values at the key locations of the system were obtained by simulation calculation using the above simulation model.
[0036] Two-phase ground fault and two-phase phase-to-phase fault short circuit conditions were respectively set at the valve side of the onshore power frequency connection transformer 23, the valve side of the onshore low frequency connection transformer 18, and the valve side of the bridge arm reactor 28. After the fault occurred, the M3C converter 20 was locked after the third protection action time. After the M3C converter was locked, the onshore power frequency 220kV circuit breaker 24 was opened after the second circuit breaker action time. After the M3C converter was locked, the onshore low frequency 220kV circuit breaker 17 was opened after the third circuit breaker action time. The offshore low frequency 220kV circuit breaker 13 did not operate. The short circuit current values at the key locations of the system were obtained by simulation calculation using the above simulation model.
[0037] A single-phase ground fault was set at the valve side of the onshore power frequency connection transformer 23, the valve side of the onshore low frequency connection transformer 18, and the valve side of the bridge arm reactor 28. After the fault occurred, the M3C converter 20 was locked after the fourth protection operation time. After the M3C converter was locked, the onshore power frequency 220kV circuit breaker 24 opened after the second circuit breaker operation time. After the M3C converter was locked, the onshore low frequency 220kV circuit breaker 17 opened after the third circuit breaker operation time. The offshore low frequency 220kV circuit breaker 13 did not operate. The short-circuit current values at the key locations of the system were obtained by simulation calculation using the above simulation model.
[0038] Three-phase grounding short-circuit fault conditions were set at the submarine cable 3 for power frequency collection and the submarine cable 14 for power frequency transmission. After the fault occurred, the 220kV power frequency circuit breaker 11 at sea and the 220kV power frequency circuit breaker 24 on land were disconnected after the fourth circuit breaker operated. The short-circuit current values at the key locations of the system were obtained by simulation calculation using the above simulation model.
[0039] At point 26 on the 220kV power frequency bus, three-phase ground fault, two-phase ground fault, two-phase phase-to-phase fault, and single-phase ground fault conditions were set up respectively. The energy consumption device 27 did not operate. When the submodule voltage exceeded the overvoltage protection threshold, the M3C converter 20 was locked. The short-circuit current value at the key location of the system was obtained by simulation calculation using the above simulation model.
[0040] Summarize the short-circuit current values at key locations of the system under all the above operating conditions, select the maximum short-circuit current value among them as the representative short-circuit current at that location, and the corresponding operating condition is the representative short-circuit current operating condition.
[0041] To further illustrate the specific implementation effects of the present invention, simulation waveforms of short-circuit current under several typical operating conditions are given in conjunction with the above specific embodiments.
[0042] like Figure 3 The figure shows the current waveform on the power frequency grid side under a three-phase ground fault in an embodiment of the present invention. When a three-phase ground fault occurs at point 26 of the 220kV power frequency bus on land, a large short-circuit current flows into the short-circuit location from the power frequency grid, with an amplitude of 50kA. This condition is a representative condition of the short-circuit current on the power frequency grid side.
[0043] like Figure 4 The figure shows the low-frequency grid-side current waveform under a three-phase grounding fault in an embodiment of the present invention. When a three-phase grounding fault occurs in the offshore low-frequency transmission cable 15, the short-circuit current output by the low-frequency grid side is not large before the M3C converter is locked out, and becomes 0 after the M3C converter is locked out.
[0044] like Figure 5 The figure shows the current waveform of the power frequency valve side under a three-phase ground fault in an embodiment of the present invention. When a three-phase ground fault occurs on the valve side of the onshore power frequency connection transformer 23, the M3C converter is locked. The short-circuit current on the power frequency valve side mainly flows in from the power frequency grid side through the power frequency connection transformer. This condition is a representative condition of the short-circuit current on the power frequency valve side.
[0045] like Figure 6 The figure shows the low-frequency valve side current waveform under a three-phase ground fault in an embodiment of the present invention. When a three-phase ground fault occurs on the valve side of the onshore low-frequency connection transformer 18, the M3C converter is locked. The short-circuit current on the low-frequency valve side mainly flows in from the wind turbine side. Since the wind turbine grid-side converter will limit the output current, the short-circuit current is not large.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the above embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort.
