[0030] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art can understand that in the embodiments of the present application, many technical details are proposed in order to make the reader better understand the present application. However, the technical solutions claimed by the present application can be realized even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0031] As introduced in the background, the prior art lacks a starting scheme for a full-control composite converter-based DC system that takes into account accurate power transmission and smooth power transition. In order to solve the problem that the prior art lacks a starting scheme for a full-control composite converter-based DC system that takes into account accurate power transmission and smooth power transition, the present application proposes a DC system starting control method, a DC system and a storage medium.

[0032] The starting control method of the direct current system of the present application is applied to a full-control composite converter direct current system, the full-control composite converter direct current system comprises a sending end and a receiving end, the sending end comprises a sending end converter valve, a sending end charging resistor and a first switch connected in parallel with the sending end charging resistor, the receiving end comprises a receiving end converter valve, a receiving end charging resistor and a second switch connected in parallel with the receiving end charging resistor, the sending end converter valve comprises a first main valve and a first support valve, the receiving end converter valve comprises a second main valve and a second support valve, the first main valve and the second main valve are IGCT straight string valves, and the first support valve and the second support valve comprise full-bridge modules, see Figure 1 The starting control method of the direct current system comprises the following steps:

[0033] In step S101, the first switch and the second switch are controlled to be turned off to control the sending end charging resistor and the receiving end charging resistor to be connected to the direct current system when the sending end converter valve and the receiving end converter valve are in a blocking state.

[0034] Since the first switch is connected in parallel with the sending end charging resistor, when the first switch is turned off, the sending end charging resistor is in a non-short-circuit state, i.e., is connected to the direct current system.

[0035] Since the second switch is connected in parallel with the receiving end charging resistor, when the second switch is turned off, the receiving end charging resistor is in a non-short-circuit state, i.e., is connected to the direct current system.

[0036] Before the starting process starts, it is ensured that the sending end converter valve and the receiving end converter valve are in a blocking state, which can avoid accidental current or voltage surges due to misoperation in the system preparation stage and protect system equipment from damage.

[0037] In step S102, after a starting signal is activated, the sending end and the receiving end are powered on, and a step of starting the first support valve and the second support valve is performed, and the activation of the starting signal indicates that the starting process is entered.

[0038] Specifically, see Figure 2 The full-bridge module comprises an IGBT device, a diode and a capacitor connected in series, and in the initial stage of power-on, the support valve (including the first support valve and the second support valve) will undergo two stages, namely, an uncontrolled charging stage and a controllable charging stage. In the uncontrolled charging stage, no control signal is applied to allow the grid voltage to charge the capacitor in the full-bridge module through the diode. When the capacitor in the full-bridge module is charged to a preset proportion of the rated value (for example, 70% of the rated value), the controllable charging is switched on to charge the IGBT device in the full-bridge module to the rated value.

[0039] The charging resistor is already put into use in the uncontrolled charging stage, which aims to limit the charging current and avoid generating an excessive impact current in the capacitor charging process, thereby causing potential damage to the internal devices of the converter. When the controllable charging is switched on and the capacitor voltage reaches the rated value, the charging resistor is removed.

[0040] Step S103, after the first support valve and the second support valve are started, the first switch and the second switch are closed to control the sending end charging resistor and the receiving end charging resistor not to be connected to the DC system, and the first main valve and the second main valve are unlocked, and then the first main valve is started by using the DC current and the second main valve is started by using the DC voltage.

[0041] Since the first switch is connected in parallel with the sending end charging resistor, when the first switch is closed, the sending end charging resistor is in a short-circuit state, i.e., not connected to the DC system.

[0042] Since the second switch is connected in parallel with the receiving end charging resistor, when the second switch is closed, the receiving end charging resistor is in a short-circuit state, i.e., not connected to the DC system.

[0043] In the field, the converter including the main valve (IGCT straight string valve) and the support valve (including full-bridge module) is also called F3C converter.

[0044] After the support valve is started and reaches a steady state, the charging resistor is cut off (i.e., the charging resistor is controlled to be short-circuited), and the main valve is unlocked, realizing the coordinated start of the support valve to the main valve. At this time, the sending end is controlled by a constant DC current, and the receiving end is controlled by a constant DC voltage, ensuring that the system power smoothly transitions from zero to the rated value, avoiding voltage and current surges during the start-up process, and ensuring the smooth start of the entire DC power transmission system.

[0045] Through the step-by-step start-up strategy of first starting the support valve and then unlocking the main valve, it is ensured that the power devices (such as IGCT) will not bear voltage or current exceeding the design range during the start-up process, thereby prolonging the service life of the equipment and improving the reliability of the system.

[0046] The DC current control of the sending end and the DC voltage control of the receiving end work together during the start-up process, which can accurately control the active power transmission of the system, while ensuring that the system operates in a stable and efficient state, avoiding unnecessary power fluctuations.

[0047] Under the coordinated control of the support valve and the main valve, the converter (equivalent to the converter valve) can operate at a unit power factor with the DC system, i.e., the converter does not exchange reactive power with the DC system. Without additional reactive power compensation equipment, the land area of the converter station is greatly reduced, and the structure of the DC system is simplified.

[0048] With reference to the above analysis, the starting control method of the direct current system comprising steps S101, S102 and S103 can realize safe and non-impact starting of the F3C converter and the direct current transmission system constituted thereby, ensures smooth and controllable starting process, improves system operation efficiency and reliability, optimizes reactive power management, reduces system cost, and is a high-efficiency and practical starting control strategy. The problem of lack of a starting scheme for the direct current system based on the full-control composite converter that takes into account accurate power transmission and smooth power transition in the prior art is solved.

[0049] In a specific implementation, the first main valve is started by using direct current control and the second main valve is started by using direct voltage control, comprising:

[0050] The first main valve is started by using incremental direct current control, and the rising rate of the direct current is a direct current rising rate.

[0051] The second main valve is started by using incremental direct voltage control, and the rising rate of the direct voltage is a direct voltage rising rate, and the dimensionless quantity of the direct voltage rising rate is less than the dimensionless quantity of the direct current rising rate.

[0052] The dimensionless quantity of the direct voltage rising rate refers to the pure numerical quantity of the direct voltage rising rate, and the dimensionless quantity of the direct current rising rate refers to the pure numerical quantity of the direct current rising rate.

[0053] The direct voltage rising rate is set to be less than the direct current rising rate, which is to ensure that the direct voltage of the sending end is always greater than the direct voltage of the receiving end during the starting process. It ensures that the power flows in the positive direction in the direct current system, i.e., the power is transmitted from the sending end to the receiving end, thereby avoiding reverse power flow that may occur at the initial stage of system starting and ensuring positive controllability of system power.

[0054] By controlling the incremental rates of the direct current and the direct voltage, smooth transition of the system from zero power to rated power can be realized. This control method avoids instantaneous power mutation during the starting process, reduces the impact on power devices and insulation elements in the system, and ensures the safety and reliability of the starting process.

[0055] In addition, the incremental control strategy can gradually increase system load, avoiding over-stress on equipment caused by high power demand at the starting moment. For power devices in the high-voltage direct current transmission system, this control method can reduce thermal stress and mechanical stress, prolong the service life of the equipment, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0056] In addition, the increasing rates of the direct current and the direct voltage can be precisely set and monitored, which makes the system state in the starting process can be tracked and adjusted in real time. If the system state deviates from the set value, it can be corrected by adjusting the slope or triggering angle and other parameters, thereby ensuring the controllability and stability of the starting process.

[0057] By setting a reasonable slope, the speed of the system from starting to steady-state operation can be as fast as possible under the premise of safety, reducing the starting time, which means that the power system can respond to power demand changes faster, improving the responsiveness and flexibility of the system.

[0058] Therefore, by using this control strategy, not only can the system be started smoothly, but also the performance can be optimized during system operation, such as improving power transmission efficiency, reducing loss, and maintaining good power quality.

[0059] Based on the above analysis, the direct current control and direct voltage control strategy with increasing rate can effectively ensure the power flow in the starting phase of the DC system, realize a non-impact and controllable starting process, protect system equipment, optimize system performance, and ensure the safe and efficient operation of the high-voltage direct current transmission system.

[0060] The method further comprises: obtaining an IGCT characteristic parameter of the first main valve and an IGCT characteristic parameter of the second main valve, wherein the IGCT characteristic parameter comprises a current characteristic of the IGCT; determining a direct current rising rate and a direct voltage rising rate according to at least the IGCT characteristic parameter of the first main valve and the IGCT characteristic parameter of the second main valve, the direct current rising rate being a rising rate of the direct current for controlling the starting of the first main valve, and the direct voltage rising rate being a rising rate of the direct voltage for controlling the starting of the second main valve. Specifically, the current characteristic of the IGCT comprises a rising rate of the current of the IGCT, which indicates the speed of the current change with time in the switching process of the IGCT, and is one of the key parameters for measuring the dynamic switching performance of the IGCT, directly affecting the reliability of the device, the circuit design and the system stability.

[0061] The current characteristics of the IGCT include turn-on delay time, current rise time, and turn-on overshoot current. The turn-on delay time is the time required for the anode current to rise to 10% of the rated current after the application of a positive driving signal to the gate. The current rise time is the time required for the anode current to rise from 10% to 90% of the rated current, which directly determines the di / dt (i.e., the rate of current rise). The shorter the current rise time, the greater the di / dt, and the faster the switching speed, but the higher the risk associated with di / dt. The turn-on overshoot current is the peak value of the current at the initial stage of turn-on, which is usually 1.1-1.5 times I_T, and is caused by circuit parasitic parameters such as capacitor discharge. Of course, the main parameter that affects the rate of rise of direct current is the rate of rise of current of the IGCT.

[0062] By obtaining the characteristic parameters of the converter IGCT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), including current carrying capacity, voltage tolerance range, and thermal characteristics, etc., the current characteristics of the IGCT are mainly considered in this scheme. The start-up control strategy can be adjusted according to the specific characteristics and state of each converter, realizing personalized start-up control and ensuring the stability and safety of the equipment during start-up.

[0063] The way of determining the rate of rise of direct current and the rate of rise of direct voltage according to the IGCT characteristic parameters of the first main valve and the IGCT characteristic parameters of the second main valve can coordinate the power transmission between the first main valve and the second main valve. In the initial stage of the start-up process, the rates of rise of direct current and voltage need to match the characteristics of the IGCT to avoid power backfeed or system oscillation caused by mismatched rates of rise, ensuring smooth power transition between the sending end and the receiving end.

[0064] In addition, the start-up control based on IGCT characteristic parameters can more accurately predict the start-up time of the converter and optimize energy consumption during the start-up process. By setting appropriate rates of rise of direct current and voltage, the start-up time and energy consumption can be balanced, thereby improving the start-up efficiency and reducing the impact on the power grid during the start-up process.

[0065] By precisely controlling the rates of rise of direct current and voltage, energy loss during the start-up process can be reduced, especially when the IGCT is in the low-efficiency working region. This not only improves the economy of the start-up phase, but also helps the entire high-voltage direct current transmission system to reach a high-efficiency operating state more quickly after start-up.

[0066] The smooth rise of direct current and voltage not only contributes to the safe start-up of the IGCT, but also has a positive impact on the stability of the entire direct current transmission system. Voltage and current surges during the start-up process are avoided, reducing the risk of system oscillation and ensuring smooth operation of the system after start-up.

[0067] Specifically, a preset correspondence between the IGCT characteristic parameters of the first and second main valves and the DC current and voltage rise rates is constructed based on historical data and analysis, and the DC current and voltage rise rates are accurately determined according to the preset correspondence.

[0068] In a more specific implementation, the DC current and voltage rise rates are determined based on at least the IGCT characteristic parameters of the first and second main valves, including: obtaining a main protection mechanism of the DC system, wherein the main protection mechanism is adapted to the start-up rate of the DC system, and the main protection control is triggered if the DC current rise rate is greater than a preset current rise rate and / or the DC voltage rise rate is greater than a preset voltage rise rate.

[0069] The DC current and voltage rise rates are determined based on the IGCT characteristic parameters of the first and second main valves and the main protection mechanism.

[0070] That is, the factors for determining the DC current and voltage rise rates not only consider the IGCT characteristic parameters of the first and second main valves, but also take the main protection mechanism into account, because the DC current and voltage rise too fast will trigger the main protection control, that is, the main protection mechanism limits the upper limit of the DC current and voltage rise rates, and the DC current and voltage rise rates need to ensure the safe and stable operation of the IGCTs of the first and second main valves. The DC current and voltage rise rates determined by combining these two factors can better ensure the start-up efficiency and safety of the system.

[0071] Therefore, combining the start-up rate control based on the IGCT characteristic parameters with the main protection mechanism can not only improve the safety and stability of the equipment and system, but also optimize the start-up process, reduce start-up loss, and enhance the adaptability to environmental changes, which is an important progress in intelligent control of high-voltage direct current transmission systems. In this way, more efficient and reliable power transmission can be achieved.

[0072] In a specific implementation, the DC current and voltage rise rates are determined based on the IGCT characteristic parameters of the first and second main valves and the main protection mechanism, including:

[0073] The current change rate tolerance upper limit of the IGCT in the first main valve is determined based on the IGCT characteristic parameters of the first main valve, and the current change rate tolerance upper limit of the IGCT in the second main valve is determined based on the IGCT characteristic parameters of the second main valve.

[0074] The direct current rise rate and the direct voltage rise rate are determined based on constraints, including: a current change rate applied to the IGCT in the first main valve during the starting process is lower than an upper limit of the current change rate tolerance of the IGCT in the first main valve, a current change rate applied to the IGCT in the second main valve during the starting process is lower than an upper limit of the current change rate tolerance of the IGCT in the second main valve, and a main protection mechanism is not triggered.

[0075] By determining the upper limit of the current change rate tolerance of the IGCT, the current rise rate during the starting process can be strictly limited, avoiding the risk of the IGCT exceeding its safe working interval during the starting phase, thereby effectively protecting the IGCT from overheating or damage caused by sudden current changes and strengthening the safety management of the equipment.

[0076] Based on the upper limit of the current change rate tolerance of the IGCT, the control system can accurately plan the rise rate of the direct current and voltage, ensuring that the starting process is both fast and safe. By optimizing the starting strategy, the time required for starting can be reduced while ensuring that the IGCT does not bear stress beyond its tolerance range, improving the efficiency of the starting process and the service life of the equipment.

[0077] By avoiding the IGCT from bearing excessive current change rate during the starting process, the probability of equipment failure is reduced, and at the same time, due to the reduction in failure rate, maintenance costs and downtime are also indirectly reduced, improving the economic efficiency and availability of the system.

[0078] The direct current rise rate and the direct voltage rise rate determined under the constraints that the current change rate applied to the IGCT in the first main valve during the starting process is lower than the upper limit of the current change rate tolerance of the IGCT in the first main valve, the current change rate applied to the IGCT in the second main valve during the starting process is lower than the upper limit of the current change rate tolerance of the IGCT in the second main valve, and the main protection mechanism is not triggered, ensure that the system starts safely while avoiding false entry into the main protection control.

[0079] In a specific implementation, the direct current rise rate and the direct voltage rise rate are determined according to the IGCT characteristic parameters of the first main valve, the IGCT characteristic parameters of the second main valve, and the main protection mechanism, including:

[0080] A preset mapping relationship is constructed, the preset mapping relationship representing the relationship between cause variables and result variables, the cause variables including the IGCT characteristic parameters of the first main valve, the IGCT characteristic parameters of the second main valve, and the main protection mechanism, and the result variables including the direct current rise rate and the direct voltage rise rate;

[0081] The current result variable is determined according to the preset mapping relationship and the current cause variable, and the current cause variable includes the IGCT characteristic parameter of the current first main valve, the IGCT characteristic parameter of the current second main valve and the current main protection mechanism, and the current result variable includes the current DC current rising rate and the current DC voltage rising rate.

[0082] By using the preset mapping relationship, the rising rates of the DC current and voltage can be dynamically adjusted according to the real-time characteristic parameters of the current IGCT and the state of the main protection mechanism. This dynamic adaptability ensures that the start-up control strategy can respond to the state changes of the equipment and system in real time, improving the flexibility of control and the reliability of the system.

[0083] The preset mapping relationship is essentially an intelligent prediction model that converts device state parameters into control strategy parameters. Based on historical data and analysis, it can predict the optimal DC current and voltage rising rates under specific IGCT characteristic parameters and main protection mechanism conditions. This intelligent decision support enables the control system to more accurately adjust the start-up parameters, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and device stress, and improving start-up efficiency.

[0084] The preset mapping relationship ensures that the rising rates of the DC current and voltage are always within the safe operating boundaries of the IGCT, while pursuing optimal start-up performance. It effectively balances start-up speed and device safety, avoiding device overload or system failure caused by improper start-up parameter settings, thereby achieving safe and controllable and fast response in the start-up process.

[0085] Once the preset mapping relationship is established and integrated into the control system, the start-up strategy can be automatically adjusted according to the current device state and protection mechanism, reducing the dependence on manually set parameters.

[0086] The construction of the preset mapping relationship relies on the analysis of a large amount of historical data and device operation data. This data-driven optimization method not only improves the accuracy of start-up control, but also, as data accumulates, the mapping relationship will become more perfect, and the start-up strategy will be more optimized.

[0087] The method further comprises: before and during the start-up, predicting potential faults by monitoring the characteristic parameters of the devices in the sending-end converter valve and the receiving-end converter valve, and if a potential fault is detected, adaptively adjusting the DC current rising rate and the DC voltage rising rate to enhance the self-recovery capability of the system, wherein the devices in the sending-end converter valve and the receiving-end converter valve include IGCT, IGBT and diode, and the characteristic parameters of the devices include electrical characteristic parameters and temperature characteristic parameters, the electrical characteristic parameters specifically include current change rate tolerance upper limit, turn-on voltage drop, turn-off voltage and other parameters; and the temperature parameters include device junction temperature.

[0088] In a specific implementation, if the current change rate of the IGCT, IGBT and diode is higher than or close to the upper limit of the current change rate tolerance, it indicates that there is a potential fault; if the on-state voltage drop deviates from the preset on-state voltage drop by more than a preset range, it indicates that there is a potential fault, where the preset range is a range that ensures normal operation of the device; if the off-state voltage deviates from the preset off-state voltage by more than a preset range, it indicates that there is a potential fault, where the preset range is a range that ensures normal operation of the device; if the device junction temperature deviates from the preset junction temperature by more than a preset range, it indicates that there is a potential fault, where the preset range is a range that ensures normal operation of the device.

[0089] If a potential fault is detected, the DC current rise rate and the DC voltage rise rate are adaptively adjusted, which is specifically implemented as follows: according to the deviation of the characteristic parameter from the preset value or the preset range, the DC current rise rate and the DC voltage rise rate are adjusted, for example, the greater the deviation of the characteristic parameter from the preset value or the preset range, the greater the adjustment amplitude of the DC current rise rate and the DC voltage rise rate; the smaller the deviation of the characteristic parameter from the preset value or the preset range, the smaller the adjustment amplitude of the DC current rise rate and the DC voltage rise rate; of course, the premise of this adjustment is to ensure the safe start of the DC system.

[0090] If a potential fault is detected, the DC current rise rate and the DC voltage rise rate are adaptively adjusted, which is also specifically implemented as follows: an adaptive adjustment algorithm is used to adaptively adjust the DC current rise rate and the DC voltage rise rate according to the characteristic parameter deviating from the preset value or the preset range, and a relationship between the deviation of the parameter of the adaptive adjustment algorithm from the characteristic parameter is established, and then the adjusted DC current rise rate and the adjusted DC voltage rise rate are adaptively output according to the deviation of the input characteristic parameter. The adaptive adjustment algorithm can be selected from a model reference adaptive control model (MRAC, Model Reference Adaptive Control), an adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO, Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization), etc.

[0091] The method further comprises: applying a machine learning algorithm to learn and optimize the direct current rise rate and the direct voltage rise rate according to historical starting data and device operating states, so that the system can automatically identify the optimal starting strategy, reduce the dependence on manual setting of parameters, and improve the intelligence and adaptability of control. The historical starting data specifically comprises: process parameters and result parameters, the process parameters comprising a set di / dt, a set du / dt, a peak current, and a trigger angle, and the result parameters comprising a total starting duration, an overcurrent frequency, and a commutation failure frequency; and the device operating state specifically comprises a device state, the device state comprising an accumulated operating duration, a junction temperature, and a conduction voltage drop change amount, and the device state reflecting the device tolerance, so that the model matches the upper limit of the rise rate of the current hardware.

[0092] Specifically, the step of starting the first support valve and the second support valve comprises:

[0093] In the case that the direct voltage of the first support valve and the second support valve is charged to a preset voltage, the first support valve and the second support valve are unlocked; for example, the preset voltage is 0.5 p.u., and of course the specific value of the preset voltage can be adjusted according to the specific structure of the first support valve and the second support valve.

[0094] The charging of the first support valve and the second support valve is continued until the direct voltage of the first support valve and the second support valve is charged to a rated voltage, and it is determined that the starting of the first support valve and the second support valve is completed, and the preset voltage is less than the rated voltage. The rated voltage is charged to 1.0 p.u.

[0095] By setting the first support valve and the second support valve to be unlocked when the direct voltage reaches the preset voltage, it is ensured that the converter accurately changes from the uncontrolled charging state to the controllable state. This accurate control avoids the situation that the converter cannot be normally unlocked due to too low direct voltage, or the current impact and overvoltage caused by unlocking when the direct voltage is too high, thereby improving the control accuracy of the entire starting process.

[0096] After the support valve is unlocked, the process of continuing to charge to 1.0 p.u. ensures the smooth transition of the direct voltage from the unlocked state to the steady state. This process avoids the influence of voltage mutation on power devices, ensures the smooth coordination of power within the converter, and is also conducive to the coordinated operation between the sending end and the receiving end converters, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the entire high-voltage direct current transmission system starting process.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first main valve is controlled by a direct current to start the first main valve, and the second main valve is controlled by a direct voltage to start the second main valve, comprising:

[0098] The first main valve is controlled by a direct current and a first PI control loop to start the first main valve;

[0099] The second main valve is controlled based on a DC voltage and a second PI control loop to start up the second main valve.

[0100] The PI control loops provide precise control over DC current and DC voltage, enabling real-time adjustment of control signals to respond to changes in system state. The first PI control loop controls the DC current of the first main valve, ensuring a smooth ramp-up of current at a predetermined slope and preventing sudden changes in current that could cause equipment overload or voltage disturbances. Similarly, the second PI control loop controls the DC voltage of the second main valve, ensuring a steady increase in voltage to the set value and avoiding potential system instability due to voltage fluctuations.

[0101] The control strategy based on DC current and the first PI control loop ensure a stable increase in power output during the startup process of the first main valve (typically located at the sending end). Meanwhile, the control strategy based on DC voltage and the second PI control loop ensure a smooth increase in voltage level for the second main valve (typically located at the receiving end), meeting the requirements for power reception. This control method ensures coordinated startup between the sending-end and receiving-end converters, avoiding issues such as power backfeeding or voltage and current imbalance caused by mismatched startup control.

[0102] In addition, the PI control loops can dynamically adjust control signals based on the characteristic parameters of power devices such as IGCT or IGBT, to prevent excessive stress on equipment during startup. For example, the first PI control loop can limit the startup current of the first main valve to be below a safety threshold based on the current characteristics of IGCT, and the second PI control loop can control the startup voltage of the second main valve to be within the voltage withstand range of the device based on the voltage characteristics of IGBT.

[0103] The startup control method of the DC system of the present application is applied to Figure 2 a DC system as shown, Figure 2 only the receiving end of the DC system is shown, and the structure of the sending end is similar to that of the receiving end.

[0104] The DC system includes a sending end and a receiving end, the sending end includes a sending-end converter valve and a sending-end charging resistor, the receiving end includes a receiving-end converter valve and a receiving-end charging resistor, the sending-end converter valve includes a first main valve and a first support valve, the receiving-end converter valve includes a second main valve and a second support valve, the first main valve and the second main valve are IGCT straight string valves, and the IGCT straight string valve is a three-phase six-bridge-arm IGCT straight string valve (see Figure 2 the three-phase six-bridge-arm IGCT straight string valve shown), and the first support valve and the second support valve include full-bridge modules, see Figure 2 the full-bridge module includes a bridge arm of IGBT and diode in parallel and a capacitor.

[0105] The startup principle of the single-end converter valve of the DC power transmission system can be found in Figure 3, the controller input signals are all locking signals (0) before the main valve and the support valve unlocking signal is issued, at this time, since the support valve adopts a full-bridge sub-module, it can be charged under the action of grid voltage by using a diode path without control, when the support is charged to a certain value, with the issuance of the support valve unlocking signal, the support enters the controllable charging stage, under the action of sub-module capacitor voltage equalization control, the support can be charged to the rated voltage. At the same time, under the action of reactive power control, the support can realize the reactive power balance of the main valve without increasing additional reactive power compensation devices, without exchanging reactive power with the grid. Specifically, Figure 3 The sub-module SM in the full-bridge module includes an IGBT and a diode in parallel in any bridge arm, and further includes a capacitor in parallel with the upper and lower bridge arms.

[0106] The dq-axis components output by the sub-module capacitor voltage control and the reactive power control pass through a closed-loop decoupling controller and a nearest level approximation modulation link to generate a trigger signal for controlling the switching of the support valve devices.

[0107] For the main valve, the sending and receiving end converter control targets are different, when the support valve is charged to the steady state, the sending and receiving end main valve can be unlocked, at this time, the sending end is based on the constant DC current control, and the receiving end is based on the constant DC voltage control, under the synergistic action of the two control targets, the DC system active power control can be realized. The DC voltage and DC current start instructions can be set according to the actual situation.

[0108] In summary, in the start-up control strategy of the single-end converter valve, the control strategies of the sending and receiving end converter support valves are the same, but the control strategies of the sending and receiving end converter main valves are different, mainly reflected in the inconsistency of the control targets.

[0109] In addition, the specific implementation of the start-up control method of the DC system in the above embodiment can be applied to Figure 2 the DC system shown in the figure, which will not be repeated here.

[0110] The start-up control method of the DC system of the present application is also applied to Figure 4 the DC system shown in the figure, Figure 4 only the receiving end of the DC system is shown, and the sending end and the receiving end have similar structures. The DC system includes a sending end and a receiving end, the sending end includes a sending end converter valve, a sending end charging resistor and a transformer set, the receiving end includes a receiving end converter valve and a receiving end charging resistor and a transformer set, the sending end converter valve includes a first main valve and a first support valve, the receiving end converter valve includes a second main valve and a second support valve, the first main valve and the second main valve are IGCT straight string valves, and the IGCT straight string valve is a three-phase twelve-bridge-arm IGCT straight string valve Figure 4As shown in the figure, the first support valve and the second support valve are two sets of three-phase full-bridge modules. Each transformer group includes two star-delta connected transformers. The transformer connected to the first set of three-phase six-bridge arms is a star-delta connected transformer, and the transformer connected to the second set of three-phase six-bridge arms is also a star-delta connected transformer.

[0111] A 12-pulse converter is formed by cascading two six-pulse converters. By controlling the triggering sequence of the six-pulse converters, the DC voltage can be increased from 6 pulses to 12 pulses, which helps reduce DC voltage ripple and improve power quality. Since the support valve has the ability to filter harmonics, the two six-pulse converters do not need to use phase-shifting converter transformers to cancel the 5th and 7th harmonics. Both can use star-delta connected transformers, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the converter transformer.

[0112] The specific implementations of the DC system startup control method in the above embodiments can all be applied to Figure 4 The DC system shown will not be described in detail here.

[0113] Figure 5 It also shows a method applicable to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The starting control method for a DC system specifically includes:

[0114] (1) Confirm the start command, lock the F3C-HVDC subsystem rectifier-side converter (i.e., the sending-end converter valve) and inverter station converter (i.e., the receiving-end converter valve), and disconnect the mechanical switch to put the charging resistor into the support valve;

[0115] (2) The circuit breakers on the grid side of the converter transformers of the F3C-HVDC subsystem rectifier side and inverter side converter station are closed respectively, so that the converter transformers and F3C support valves are energized and enter the uncontrolled charging stage.

[0116] (3) When the DC voltage of the support valves on the rectifier side and the inverter side is charged to 0.5pu, the support valves are unlocked to allow them to enter the controllable charging stage;

[0117] (4) After the two support valves are charged to 1.0pu through closed-loop voltage control and reach a steady state, the mechanical switch is closed to cut off the charging resistor. At this time, the support valve is started.

[0118] (5) After the DC voltage of the support valve reaches the rated value, the main valves of the rectifier side and the inverter side are unlocked at the same time. The rectifier side converter adopts constant DC current control and adjusts the current according to the reference value of the specified slope. The inverter side converter adopts constant DC voltage control and adjusts the voltage according to the reference value of the specified slope until the steady state is reached.

[0119] (6) When the active power reaches 1.0 pu, the F3C-HVDC system startup process ends and enters the steady-state operation stage.

[0120] The starting characteristics of the starting control method of the direct current system involved herein are described with reference to Figure 6 As shown in Figure 6 (a) As shown in Figs. 6(b), the starting process of the F3C-HVDC system has two obvious stages. The support valve completes the starting and reaches the steady state at 0.5 s, and the main valve is unlocked at 0.8 s and formally enters the starting process. In the starting process, the rectifier side and the inverter side converters are kept in the unit power factor working condition and can steadily increase the transmission power.

[0121] In the F3C-HVDC subsystem, the rectifier side (i.e., the sending end) adopts the constant direct current control, and the inverter side (i.e., the receiving end) adopts the constant direct voltage control. In the starting process, the voltages and currents of the converters on both sides can track the reference values in real time, as shown in Figure 6 (c) As shown in Figs. 6(d), in the scheme, the slope of the direct voltage reference value of the inverter side is less than the slope of the direct current reference value of the rectifier side (KUdc_ref < KIdc_ref). This is to ensure that the direct voltage of the rectifier side is greater than the direct voltage of the inverter side (UdcR > UdcI), so as to ensure that the power of the direct current system is always positively flowed from the rectifier side to the inverter side.

[0122] The direct voltage waveform of the valve arm of the support valve is shown in Figure 6 (e). In the uncontrolled stage, the rectifier side and the inverter side support valves are charged to 0.5 p.u. respectively. At this time, the support valve only absorbs a small amount of active power. When entering the controllable charging stage, the support absorbs a large amount of active power, and the peak value of the direct voltage of the valve arm is about 1.6 p.u. Since the voltage utilization rate of the device in the support valve is often designed according to 50%, the withstand voltage limit is 2.0 p.u. Therefore, it can be seen that the starting process of the support valve in this paper is still within the withstand range of the equipment. At the same time, after the main valve is unlocked, the direct voltage of the valve arm of the support valve basically maintains the rated value, only a slight fluctuation occurs, which further illustrates the feasibility of the starting scheme.

[0123] The trigger angles of the rectifier side and the inverter side in the F3C-HVDC subsystem are shown in Figure 6 (f). In the starting process, the trigger angle α of the rectifier side is continuously reduced to increase the direct voltage so as to track the current command value, and the trigger angle of the inverter side is the same.

[0124] The bridge arm currents of the rectifier side and the inverter side in the F3C-HVDC subsystem are shown in Figure 6 (g). After the main valve is unlocked, the system starts normal starting. At this time, the outlet current Ip of the main valve, the outlet current Ic of the support valve and the grid current Ig start to gradually increase, and finally tend to be stable.

[0125] The bridge arm voltages of the rectifier side and the inverter side in the F3C-HVDC subsystem are shown in Figure 6(h) as shown. The valve voltage pulsation range depends on the firing angle, as the starting process proceeds, the rectifier side firing angle alpha and the inverter side firing angle beta gradually decrease, so that the valve voltage peak gradually decreases.

[0126] Therefore, the F3C-HVDC direct current system step-by-step starting strategy can realize the starting function, that is, firstly completing the starting of the support valve, then unlocking the support valve, and finally realizing the starting of the whole system. The support valve will bear overvoltage in the controllable charging process, and the overvoltage is determined by the delta control loop. Through analysis, it is found that the overvoltage will not exceed the design limit value of the equipment under the existing control parameters, and the starting can be successfully completed.

[0127] In summary, the application proposes a no-impact starting control strategy suitable for the 3C converter, which solves the problems of internal power coordination of the main valve and the support valve and power coordination of the sending and receiving end direct current system during the starting process of the composite converter. Under the starting control strategy of the converter proposed in the application, the F3C converter direct current voltage and direct current can be output according to the instruction value, the active power transmitted by the F3C converter to the power grid smoothly increases from 0 to the rated value, and the reactive power exchanged between the converter and the power grid can always maintain reactive power balance (the reactive power exchange between the converter and the power grid is 0) under the coordination of the support valve, without the need to configure an additional reactive power compensation device. At the same time, under the starting control strategy of the converter proposed in the application, the main valve direct current voltage and the support valve bridge arm direct current voltage are not obviously overvoltage, which indicates that the strategy can realize the no-impact starting of the F3C converter.

[0128] The sending end converter valve and the receiving end converter valve in the closed state, or the closed sending end converter valve and the receiving end converter valve, involved in the embodiments of the application, are specifically explained as follows:

[0129] The "closed converter valve" refers to the action of stopping sending the trigger pulse to the converter valve, so that the current flow path is cut off. Once the converter valve is closed, the controllable devices (such as thyristors, IGBTs, IGCTs) in the converter valve will no longer conduct, and the converter will stop energy transmission.

[0130] The sending end converter valve and the receiving end converter valve in the unlocked state, or the unlocked sending end converter valve and the receiving end converter valve, involved in the embodiments of the application, are specifically explained as follows: the lock on the trigger pulse of the converter valve is released, so that the sending end converter valve and the receiving end converter valve are in the unlocked state, and have normal conduction and commutation capability, thereby allowing the converter to start the process of AC-DC power conversion.

[0131] The embodiment of the present application further provides a starting control device of a DC system.
