AI Technical Summary
The isolation effect of flexible DC makes it impossible for new energy units to actively respond to the grid frequency support demand, resulting in a significant reduction in grid inertia. Existing technologies limit the growth space of DC transmission power by reducing DC voltage and fail to effectively transmit grid frequency information.
By increasing the number of sub-modules in each phase bridge arm while keeping the sub-module capacitor voltage constant, additional equivalent active power is injected, raising the DC voltage to reflect grid frequency changes. A proportional response is set at the sending-end converter station to cooperate with the new energy units for inertial response, thereby improving frequency support capability.
It achieves the reverse mapping between DC voltage and grid frequency, increases the upper limit of flexible DC transmission power, effectively transmits frequency information, and improves the frequency support capability of new energy units.

[0002] The energy structure in China is accelerating the transformation to clean and low-carbon, and the new energy base in the west lacks local supporting power sources. Therefore, it has become a development trend to access the power grid through the VSC-HVDC technology which has the ability to actively build stable AC voltage and frequency.
[0003] The isolation effect of VSC-HVDC makes it impossible for new energy units to actively respond to the demand for grid frequency support, which will significantly reduce the grid inertia. It has become an urgent need to ensure the safe and stable operation of high-proportion new energy power systems to use new energy units to provide effective frequency support for the grid through VSC-HVDC. In the existing research on new energy sent through VSC-HVDC, the frequency of the receiving end grid is often transmitted to the new energy side through the decrease of DC voltage when the grid frequency decreases. In the case of unchanged IGBT current-carrying capacity, the decrease of DC voltage limits the growth space of DC transmission power, which affects the frequency support effect. For the method of transmitting frequency information through DC bus voltage, especially for the control of DC voltage showing an inverse correlation with the grid frequency, there is currently no research involved.

[0018] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is that, based on the existing method of transmitting frequency information by using DC bus voltage, the method actively controls the DC voltage to present anti-correlation changes with the grid frequency, actively raises the DC voltage when the receiving end frequency drops, improves the upper limit of the flexible DC transmission power under the frequency support demand, and makes the sending end converter station reflect the grid frequency changes to the photovoltaic field in a certain proportion, and cooperates with the new energy unit to complete the inertia response. The DC voltage anti-mapping grid frequency flexible DC active support control method proposed by the present application will be described below in combination with relevant drawings and specific examples, which specifically includes the following contents.
[0019] Embodiment 1
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application proposes a DC voltage anti-mapping grid frequency flexible DC active support control method, which is applied to a photovoltaic island through a flexible DC transmission system sending system. The system controls the DC voltage and the grid frequency to present anti-correlation changes through link ①. During the DC voltage rising process, the sending and receiving end converter stations maintain the sub-module energy unchanged through link ②. The sending end converter station reflects the grid frequency change information to the photovoltaic field through link ③. The photovoltaic field performs inertia response through link ④. Based on the above contents, the control strategy proposed specifically includes the following contents:
[0021] Step 1: Increase the number of sub-modules N input to each phase bridge arm under the premise that the sub-module capacitor voltage is unchanged, and realize the injection of additional equivalent active power ΔP to the bridge arm SM The DC voltage rising characteristics are embodied on the DC side, which specifically includes:
[0022] Under the premise that the sub-module capacitor voltage is unchanged, the number of sub-modules input to each phase bridge arm N is increased according to the degree of DC voltage rise. The DC bus voltage presents the dynamic characteristics shown in formula (1):
[0023]
[0024] In the formula: U dc is the DC voltage; P dc is the DC power; P s is the grid-connected power of the converter station; C' eq is the equivalent capacitance on the DC side after the number of input sub-modules is increased; ΔP SM is the power equivalent to the bridge arm injected due to the increase in the number of input sub-modules.
[0025] In the process of controlling the DC voltage rise, the expression of the total number of sub-modules N input to each phase bridge arm is shown in formula (2):
[0026]
[0027] In the formula: the reference value U crefThe submodule capacitor voltage rating U cn .
[0028] Therefore, the DC side equivalent capacitor C' eq And the equivalent injected power ΔP SM Can be represented by formula (3), formula (4) respectively:
[0029]
[0030] In the formula: C is the submodule capacitor value. After substituting formula (3) into formula (1), formula (5) is obtained:
[0031]
[0032] By comparing formula (4) and formula (5), it can be seen that by increasing the number of submodule inputs N of each phase bridge arm, additional equivalent active power ΔP SM Can be realized to inject into the bridge arm, which can reflect the characteristics of the DC voltage rise on the DC side.
[0033] Step 2: Reflect the information of the decrease of the grid frequency to the sending end through the lifting of the DC voltage, and increase the upper limit of the HVDC transmission power under the frequency support requirement, which specifically includes:
[0034] When the receiving end frequency decreases, modify the DC voltage setting value as shown in formula (6):
[0035] U dcref = U dc_N + K A (f ref -f m ) (6)
[0036] In the formula: U dcref is the DC voltage setting value, U dc_N is the DC voltage rating; f m is the actual value of the receiving end grid frequency, f ref is the rated frequency; K A is the control parameter of the DC voltage control link, which can be artificially selected according to the DC voltage rise degree.
[0037] Step 3: The sending end converter station reflects the change of the grid frequency to the new energy station in a certain proportion, which can be artificially set by adjusting the control parameter, and the new energy station responds to the inertia according to the change of the frequency output by the sending end converter station, which specifically includes:
[0038] The frequency control link of the sending end converter station adds a correction amount to the rated angular velocity ω0 based on the deviation ΔU dc Of the DC voltage, which can be specifically represented by formula (7):
[0039]
[0040] ω0+ K send ω0+ K B ω0+ K dc_N ω0+ K PV ω0+ K PVref ω0+ K
[0041]
[0042] ω0+ K PVref0 ω0+ K d ω0+ K p ω0+ K
[0043] It should be further explained that the steps 1, 2 and 3 as a whole are the invention content, so that the HVDC system can actively raise the DC voltage to improve the power transmission capacity when the receiving end frequency drops, and the frequency information can be transmitted to the sending end system, and finally the new energy unit can realize the frequency support for the receiving end system.
[0044] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can easily think of the changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
