Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of high voltage direct current transmission technology, specifically to a high-precision MMC-HVDC harmonic stability calculation method that considers time delay characteristics. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy power systems, the high proportion of power electronic equipment connected to the grid has resulted in low inertia and weak damping characteristics, leading to fundamental differences in the dynamic characteristics of the system compared to traditional power grids. The wide-frequency coupling effect between the MMC and the AC grid has been significantly enhanced, resulting in increasingly prominent harmonic stability issues.
[0003] In practical engineering, harmonic oscillations caused by time delays have become a significant challenge to the stable operation of flexible DC transmission systems. Most existing inventions neglect or simplify time delays and fail to quantify the impact of time delay factors such as communication delays and sampling periods on system stability. This results in insufficient accuracy in high-frequency modeling, potentially leading to erroneous stability analyses and unexpected performance results.
[0004] Therefore, to address the above problems, this invention proposes a high-precision MMC-HVDC harmonic stability calculation method that considers time delay characteristics. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a high-precision method for calculating the harmonic stability of MMC-HVDC based on time delay characteristics. Based on eigenvalues and eigenvectors, the harmonic stability of the MMC-HVDC system is analyzed to ensure the stable operation of the MMC-HVDC system.

[0018] Furthermore, the harmonic state-space equations for the control section of the MMC-HVDC system are established, specifically including:
[0019] Establish the harmonic state-space equations for the sending and receiving control sections of the MMC-HVDC system.
[0020] Furthermore, the time-delay harmonic state-space equations of the MMC-HVDC system are established, specifically including:
[0021] The sampling delay, communication delay, and hardware delay, which are difficult to measure, are modeled using the lumped delay equivalence method, so that the total delay effect can be approximated as the sum of the delays of each component.
[0022] Concentrating the total time delay at the output of the entire MMC control, the corresponding bridge arm insertion index is as follows:
[0023]
[0024] Where τ s For the total time delay, ε τs =diag[...e jωlτs e 0τs e jωlτs …].
[0025] Furthermore, the harmonic state equation for the time delay is linearized as follows:
[0026]
[0027] Where x(t) is the state vector, u(t) is the control input, w(t) is the disturbance feedback term, and S T Represents the time delay operator, t d For time delay, C0(t), C r (t) is the derivative matrix of the system equations with respect to the state variables, B0(t), D0(t), D τ (t) is the derivative matrix of the system equation with respect to the input variables, B0(t), D1(t), D τ1The derivative matrix of (t) and the delayed variable.
[0028] Eliminating intermediate variables yields the equations for harmonic stability mode analysis, specifically including:
[0029] Setting u(t) = 0 to the harmonic stable mode analysis equation, we get:
[0030]
[0031] Solve for z(t): z(t) = C r x(t)+D r1 w(t).
[0032] Substitute w(t) = S T z(tt d From this, we get: w(t) = S T [C r x(tt d )+D r1 w(tt d )).
[0033] Let D r1 =0, the equation simplifies to: w(t) = S T C r x(tt d ).
[0034] Substituting w(t) into the first equation, we get...
[0035] After simplification, the harmonic stability mode analysis equation is obtained as follows:
[0036] in:
[0037] Furthermore, based on infinitesimal theory, the time delay interval is discretized to obtain the characteristic equation, which specifically includes:
[0038] Select the time delay interval [-t] for the harmonic stable mode analysis equation dd [0], and discretize the interval into a finite number of N+1 points.
[0039] Interpolate these points using a known function:
[0040] Among them l r (θ) is a known Lagrange basis function, x t (θ r ) is an unknown coefficient.
[0041] Taking the derivative of the polynomial interpolation, the derivative is expressed as:
[0042] The characteristic equation is obtained by using discrete interval interpolation and differentiation of the harmonic stability mode analysis equation:
[0043]
[0044] Furthermore, the characteristic equation matrix is translated and scaled over the time delay interval, and the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are solved iteratively, specifically including:
[0045] Characteristic equation A N x N =λx N Replace λ with λ+α. Shift all eigenvalues near 0 to the right.
[0046] For time delay interval scaling, divide all times by the maximum delay, i.e., change the time unit to the maximum delay equal to 1, and let u = t / τ. max .
[0047] The eigenvalues are obtained by solving on the translated and scaled matrix.
[0048] Furthermore, filtering out spurious feature values specifically includes:
[0049] False eigenvalues appear near 0, and their position shifts when the truncation order is changed. False eigenvalues that change with the truncation order and are near 0 will be excluded.
[0050] Furthermore, stability is determined based on time-delay stability margin, specifically including:
[0051] Set an initial time delay value Ttd and select an appropriate step size ΔT. Gradually increase the time delay value and use the bisection method to quickly locate the critical time delay value. Check if all eigenvalues are located on the left half of the complex plane. If all eigenvalues corresponding to a certain time delay value are located on the left side of the imaginary axis for the first time, then that value is the maximum allowable time delay for the system to satisfy the stability condition.
[0052] The stability of a system is determined based on the time-delay stability margin. When the system time delay exceeds the time-delay stability margin, the system will experience harmonic instability.
[0053] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
