Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of flexible direct current transmission, in particular to a full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module hybrid converter valve primary connection correctness verification method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The full-bridge (FBSM) and half-bridge (HBSM) sub-module hybrid converter valve exhibits significant comprehensive benefits in the field of flexible direct current transmission by combining the technical advantages of both. The full-bridge sub-module has negative level output capability and can autonomously clear direct current side short circuit faults, greatly improving system reliability; while the half-bridge sub-module has simple structure, low cost and small loss. The hybrid scheme, by reasonably configuring the proportion of both, maintains strong fault ride-through capability while reducing the overall cost and operating loss of the converter valve. At present, this technology is mainly applied to scenarios with high requirements for safety and economy, such as offshore wind power transmission (which requires high reliability to deal with cable faults) and asynchronous grid interconnection (which requires consideration of fault isolation and operating efficiency).
[0003] Through the analysis of the construction and debugging experience of flexible direct current projects, it is found that there are cases where the flexible direct current project is affected by the debugging progress due to the connection error of the converter valve. In order to ensure that the connection error can be found and rectified before the system debugging, it is necessary to carry out research on the correctness verification method of the primary connection of the converter valve.
[0004] The traditional DC converter valve primary connection correctness verification scheme is shown in FIG. 1, in which one piece of thyristor level is randomly taken in each single valve of the converter valve, the other thyristor levels are short-circuited by a temporary short-circuit line, and a 12-pulse rectifier connection mode is temporarily connected. The positive and negative voltages on the direct current side are led out, and according to the calculation, the corresponding direct current load resistor is connected on the direct current side. The specific verification method is as follows: Figure 1 (1) Disconnect the low-voltage side connection of the booster transformer, check whether the phase sequence and phase angle requirements of the test power source and the ignition voltage signal of the control and protection device are consistent.
[0005] (2) After checking and confirming that the synchronization signal is normal, disconnect the test power source, adjust the booster transformer to zero, and connect the low-voltage side connection of the booster transformer.
[0006] (3) Adjust the voltage regulator, power on the converter transformer, unlock the converter valve, adjust the trigger angle, record the valve side voltage and waveform at each angle, and analyze whether the control connection of the synchronization loop and the trigger control loop is perfect.
[0007] Due to the great difference in converter valve topology and control method between traditional DC and flexible DC, the existing traditional DC converter valve primary connection correctness verification method cannot be referenced by flexible DC transmission projects. SUMMARY
[0008] To solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the application provides a flexible direct current full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module hybrid converter valve primary wiring correctness verification method, which avoids affecting the debugging progress of the flexible direct current transmission project due to the converter valve wiring error and provides a reference for the debugging of the subsequent flexible direct current project.

[0010] Further, when the converter valve direct current side is disconnected, one full-bridge sub-module and one half-bridge sub-module are reserved in each bridge arm, and the remaining sub-modules are short-circuited; one direct current power supply with one phase being positive and the other phase being negative is connected in two phases, the full-bridge and half-bridge sub-modules of the lower bridge arm of one phase and the upper bridge arm of the other phase are charged through anti-parallel diodes, and the full-bridge sub-module capacitors of the upper bridge arm of one phase and the lower bridge arm of the other phase are charged, and the half-bridge sub-module capacitors are bypassed; when the full-bridge sub-module capacitors of the upper and lower bridge arms of one phase and the upper and lower bridge arms of the other phase have voltage, only the half-bridge sub-modules of the lower bridge arm of one phase and the upper bridge arm of the other phase have voltage, and the half-bridge sub-modules of the upper bridge arm of one phase and the lower bridge arm of the other phase have no voltage, the full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module voltage is 1 / 4 of the direct current voltage of the direct current power supply, and the full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module voltage is 1 / 4 of the direct current voltage of the direct current power supply.
[0011] Further, the two phases are AB phase, BC phase or AC phase.
[0012] Further, before the primary wiring correctness verification of the converter valve, it is necessary to confirm that the system to be verified meets the following conditions: 1) The connection between the corresponding phase and neutral line of the grid side of the converter transformer has been completed; 2) The test of the converter transformer has been completed, and the test result is qualified; 3) The installation and debugging of the converter valve wiring and the protection control system are completed; 4) The single valve inspection test is completed by the converter valve equipment manufacturer, and the test program and the temporary setting of the protection outlet are completed by the control and protection equipment manufacturer; 5) The switches and knife switches related to the main circuit of the converter valve have the operation conditions; 6) The related sub-modules of the converter valve have been reliably bypassed. 7) The converter valve is isolated from the AC system and the DC system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] The technical solutions of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort also belong to the protection scope of the present application.
[0017] The present embodiment provides a full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module hybrid converter valve primary connection correctness verification method.
[0018] Before the primary connection correctness verification of the converter valve, it is necessary to confirm that the system to be verified satisfies the following conditions: 1) The connection between the corresponding phase and neutral line of the grid side of the converter transformer has been completed; 2) The test of the converter transformer has been completed, and the test result is qualified; 3) The installation and debugging of the converter valve connection and the protection control system are completed; 4) The single valve inspection test is completed by the converter valve equipment manufacturer, and the test program and the temporary setting of the protection outlet are completed by the control and protection equipment manufacturer; 5) The switches and breakers related to the main circuit of the converter valve have the operating conditions; 6) The sub-modules related to the converter valve have been reliably bypassed; 7) The converter valve is isolated from the AC system and the DC system.
[0019] The above primary wiring correctness verification method includes a primary wiring correctness verification method for a full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module mixed converter valve for flexible DC when the DC side is short-circuited and a primary wiring correctness verification method for a full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module mixed converter valve for flexible DC when the DC side is disconnected.
[0020] The primary wiring correctness verification method for the full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module mixed converter valve for flexible DC when the DC side is short-circuited, as shown in Figure 2 , has the following content: One full-bridge module and one half-bridge module are reserved in each bridge arm, and the remaining modules are short-circuited. The verification method for the wiring correctness of the upper and lower bridge arms corresponding to the AB phase is introduced by taking the AB phase as an example.
[0021] When the AB phase is connected to a DC power supply with a positive A phase and a negative B phase, the charging current direction is as shown in Figure 2 , the full-bridge sub-module capacitors of the A phase upper bridge arm and the B phase lower bridge arm are charged, and the half-bridge sub-module capacitors are bypassed. At this time, the full-bridge sub-module voltage is half of the DC voltage Udc of the DC power supply, and the half-bridge sub-module voltage is 0. The full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module capacitors of the A phase lower bridge arm and the B phase upper bridge arm are charged. At this time, the full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module voltage is 1 / 4 of the DC voltage Udc, and the correctness of the primary wiring of the converter valve is judged by this feature.
[0022] The verification methods for the B and C phases and the A and C phases are similar and are not described in detail.
[0023] The primary wiring correctness verification method for the full-bridge and half-bridge sub-module mixed converter valve for flexible DC when the DC side is disconnected, as shown in Figure 3 , has the following content: One full-bridge module and one half-bridge module are reserved in each bridge arm, and the remaining modules are short-circuited. The verification method for the wiring correctness of the upper and lower bridge arms corresponding to the AB phase is introduced by taking the AB phase as an example.
[0024] When the AB phase is connected to a DC power supply with a positive A phase and a negative B phase, the charging current direction is as shown in Figure 3As shown, the full-bridge sub-modules and the half-bridge sub-modules of the lower bridge arm of phase A and the upper bridge arm of phase B are charged through the anti-parallel diodes, the full-bridge sub-module capacitors of the upper bridge arm of phase A and the lower bridge arm of phase B are charged, and the half-bridge sub-module capacitors are bypassed. Therefore, when the full-bridge sub-module capacitors of the upper and lower bridge arms of phase A and the upper and lower bridge arms of phase B all have voltage, only the half-bridge sub-modules of the lower bridge arm of phase A and the upper bridge arm of phase B have voltage, and the half-bridge sub-modules of the upper bridge arm of phase A and the lower bridge arm of phase B have no voltage, the characteristics are judged to determine that the primary wiring of the converter valve is correct.
[0025] The checking methods of phase B and phase C and phase A and phase C are similar, and are not described in detail.
[0026] The above description of the embodiments is for the purpose of facilitating the understanding and application of the present application by those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to the above embodiments, and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative labor. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and the improvements and modifications made to the present application by those skilled in the art according to the disclosure of the present application should be within the scope of protection of the present application.
