Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0031] The purpose of the embodiment of the present application is to provide a converter parallel DC power transmission topology, which enriches the operation mode of the DC power transmission system, improves the flexibility of the operation mode, and is beneficial to the demand of flexible resource allocation.

[0032] At least two converter stations are connected through DC lines;

[0067] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1The operation mode category of each converter station in the shown DC power transmission topology includes bipolar, monopole ground and monopole metal.

[0068] As one of the optional embodiments, the switch in the converter station adopts an isolating switch or a DC transfer switch.

[0069] Specifically, the isolating switch in the application can also be a DC transfer switch, which has a faster response speed and can realize online conversion of the operation mode.

[0070] Further, the converter can be a voltage source converter, i.e., an IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) based converter IGBT-MMC or an IGCT (integrated gate-commutated thyristor) based converter IGCT-MMC; or a line commutated converter, i.e., a thyristor based converter LCC, an IGCT based converter IGCT-LCC, a multi-source line commutated converter SLCC or a controllable line commutated converter CLCC. The line commutated converter needs to be configured with a DC filter, an AC filter and a reactive power compensation device, and the specific scheme is determined according to the actual engineering. If the converter is designed based on the voltage source converter, the insulated gate bipolar transistor is used to form a modular multilevel structure, the voltage level is matched through transformer voltage regulation, and the real-time switching is satisfied by combining the dynamic response speed to determine the converter adaptation structure. If the converter is designed based on the line commutated converter, the DC filter is configured to smooth fluctuations, the reactive power compensation is configured to stabilize the AC side voltage, and the switching combination control is used to meet the load balancing control demand.

[0071] As one of the optional embodiments, the converter station includes a rectifier side converter station and an inverter side converter station. The rectifier side converter station adopts a fixed DC current control strategy, and the fixed DC current control strategy includes controlling the DC current of the converter to reach a preset target value. In the inverter side converter station, one of the two converters in each pole adopts a fixed DC current control strategy, and the other converter adopts a fixed DC voltage control strategy, and the fixed DC voltage control strategy includes controlling the DC voltage of the converter to reach a preset target value.

[0072] Specifically, when the DC power transmission system is in normal operation, the two rectifier converters adopt the same constant DC control strategy, and the DC current of each converter is controlled to reach the target value through the current regulator. The control strategy adopted by the two inverters is different, one inverter adopts constant DC voltage control strategy, and the other inverter adopts constant DC current control strategy. The constant DC voltage control strategy is similar to the control strategy of the inverter side of the conventional DC project, and the voltage regulator in normal operation plays a role in stabilizing the size of the DC voltage. In a specific example, the constant DC current control strategy controls the DC current of the converter to reach the target value, which is generally half of the pole current command, to achieve the average distribution of the DC current between the two inverters on the inverter side. Through the coordinated control of the regulators of the two converters, the target DC voltage can be achieved, and the long-term safe and reliable operation of the two converters can be ensured through the average distribution of the current.

[0073] Further, in the multi-parallel converter UHV DC power transmission project, each pole is equipped with double 12-pulse converters. In actual operation, double converters can be operated, and single converter can also be operated, and the online conversion of the operation mode can be realized through the online input and output sequence of the converter. The input and output of one converter do not interrupt the normal operation of the other converter, and at the same time, the disturbance caused by the DC power transmission should be as small as possible to avoid excessive impact on the entire power grid.

[0074] Further, in the bipolar power distribution, the two pole DC voltages are distributed to minimize the current of the grounding connection under the condition of meeting the power. In the pole power distribution control, when the parameters of the two converters are the same, the constant current control target of each converter is half of the pole current command; when the parameters of the two converters are different, the proportion can be distributed according to the preset proportion.

[0075] The embodiment of the application improves the transmission capacity by adopting the parallel valve group mode, and at the same time does not change the insulation level; by configuring corresponding switches at both ends of the converter valve group to realize the operation modes of single-pole single-valve group, single-pole double-valve group, double-pole single-valve group and double-pole double-valve group, the reliability and availability of the DC power transmission system are greatly improved, and the flexible configuration of power resources between different power systems can be realized.

[0076] Correspondingly, the application also provides a control method of a DC power transmission topology structure with parallel converters, which is applied to the DC power transmission topology structure with parallel converters, and the control method comprises the following steps:

[0077] Obtaining current load demand and converter capacity information;

[0078] According to the current load demand and the converter capacity information, the operation mode of the converter station is determined, so that the converter station is switched to the corresponding operation mode through switch control;

[0079] Based on the determined operation mode, the current distribution of each converter is optimized for load balancing.

[0080] Further, the operation mode includes a single-pole single-valve group, a single-pole double-valve group, a double-pole single-valve group, and a double-pole double-valve group.

[0081] Specifically, by obtaining the load demand of the rectifier station and the inverter station and the capacity information of each converter, and then comparing the load demand and the corresponding threshold range of the converter capacity, the number of required converter valve groups is determined and mapped to four operation modes, the operation mode of the rectifier station that needs to be switched is determined, based on the determined operation mode, the current distribution of each converter is optimized for load balancing or for minimizing power loss, to obtain the current reference value of each valve group, using a preset algorithm.

[0082] Further, when the load demand exceeds the single-converter capacity, the double-pole operation mode is switched by the transfer switch, and the running state is adjusted in combination with resource allocation optimization; when the load demand decreases to the single-pole operation threshold, part of the converter valve groups can be disconnected by the neutral line isolation, the single-converter operation is switched by the switch control, and the power transmission efficiency is maintained in a preset range to obtain a single-pole stable output.

[0083] Further, when the load fluctuates, the current and voltage data on the DC side are obtained, the support vector machine is used to generate a predicted load fluctuation trend, and the rectifier station operation mode and current distribution result are determined based on the predicted load fluctuation trend, realizing dynamic response and ensuring system stability and improving transmission efficiency.

[0084] The embodiments of the present application dynamically adjust the operation mode according to the load demand, smoothly transition between single-converter and double-pole operation, effectively expand the transmission capacity, and ensure system stability through operation mode switching and current distribution optimization, realizing flexible regulation and optimal operation of the DC power transmission system.

[0085] The above describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and refinements can be made, which are also considered within the protection scope of the present application.
