AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The receiving-end power grid has increased short-circuit current levels and decreased dynamic reactive power support capacity due to the high proportion of new energy sources and multiple DC feeds. Existing flexible DC short-circuit current suppression methods sacrifice reactive power support capacity, which may lead to voltage instability risks.

Method used

By monitoring the grid-side AC voltage in real time to identify faults, determining the phase-locked loop status, and executing current limiting strategies, the reactive current is controlled to be 0 or negative during the fault period. After the fault is cleared, the reactive current command value is increased to accelerate voltage recovery. Combined with an additional control module, the coordinated control of short-circuit current suppression and voltage support is achieved.

Benefits of technology

During a fault, the short-circuit current of the flexible DC-AC system is suppressed to prevent the short-circuit current from rising. At the same time, after the fault is cleared, the voltage recovery is accelerated through reactive power support, thereby improving the voltage stability of the receiving-end power grid.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flexible DC transmission control technology for power systems, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for optimizing the control of short-circuit current in a flexible DC-fed receiving-end power grid. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of the construction of new power systems, the characteristics of "high proportion of new energy, high proportion of power electronics, and high proportion of imported power" are becoming increasingly apparent, posing severe challenges to the safety and stability of the power grid. The large-scale replacement of receiving-end thermal power units by multiple DC feeds will, on the one hand, increase short-circuit current levels, and on the other hand, reduce the dynamic reactive power support capacity of the power grid. During fault disturbances, induction motors and other conventional DC systems absorb a large amount of reactive power from the grid, which will further weaken the reactive power regulation capacity of the receiving-end grid. Flexible DC transmission technology (referred to as Flexible DC technology) has advantages such as independent control of active and reactive power, supplying power to passive networks, and rapidly achieving power flow reversal. It has been vigorously developed and applied in the fields of ultra-long-distance, ultra-large-capacity power transmission from large energy bases and asynchronous interconnection of inter-regional power grids.

[0003] With declining equipment costs and maturing operational control, UHVDC flexible DC transmission has gradually become a key technology for DC feed into the receiving-end power grid. However, with the continuous expansion of installed capacity and scale of receiving-end power grids, represented by the East China, North China, and Southern China power grids, coupled with the dense feed of UHVDC, the grid structure of the receiving-end power grid has become more compact, and its short-circuit current level has also increased accordingly, with the problem of excessive short-circuit current becoming more serious year by year. The receiving-end power grid has different needs during transient periods, requiring both the suppression of short-circuit current levels during faults and the guarantee of system voltage stability during fault recovery. Flexible DC transmission systems can limit the short-circuit current fed into the AC system, avoiding further increases in the system's short-circuit current level; at the same time, they can quickly respond to grid demands during system voltage recovery, shortening the voltage recovery time after a fault by injecting reactive power, thus meeting the system's voltage stability requirements. In addition, to ensure the safe acceptance of UHVDC by the receiving-end power grid, the construction of supporting AC grids and the configuration of equipment such as synchronous condensers further increase the level of system short-circuit current. The problem of excessive short-circuit current caused by flexible DC feed into the receiving-end power grid should not be underestimated and has gradually become a focus of attention for power grid development planning and operation dispatch personnel.

[0004] Different current limiting methods are suitable for different control strategy scenarios. The d-axis current priority strategy is suitable for maintaining DC voltage stability while limiting reactive current during voltage control station disturbances, thereby reducing the short-circuit current injected into the AC system by the flexible DC transmission line. Currently, the common method for suppressing flexible DC short-circuit current is a comprehensive current limiting method that simultaneously employs the d-axis current priority strategy and low-voltage current limiting links, which can effectively suppress the short-circuit current injected into the AC system by the flexible DC transmission line during fault disturbances. However, this current limiting method sacrifices the reactive power support capability of the flexible DC transmission line, which may lead to voltage instability risks in the nearby power grid. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The AC voltage recovery speed is tested, and the delay fault clearance is confirmed based on the test results.

[0011] After the fault is cleared, the voltage recovery strategy is executed, and after the voltage at the fault point is restored to the preset value, the reactive current command value is restored to the initial value.

[0012] Optionally, based on the real-time monitored grid-side AC voltage, faults in the flexible DC-fed receiving-end power grid are identified, including:

[0013] A fault is identified when the AC voltage on the grid side drops; otherwise, no fault exists.

[0014] Optionally, in fault-crossing mode, the state of the phase-locked loop (PLL) is determined, including:

[0015] The phase-locked loop (PLL) state discrimination module detects the q-axis voltage of the flexible DC output and compares it with a preset threshold.

[0016] If the output q-axis voltage of the flexible DC circuit is greater than the threshold, the controller is deemed to be faulty; otherwise, the phase-locked loop is deemed to be operating normally, and the current limiting strategy continues to be executed.

[0017] Optionally, the current limiting strategy is to control the reactive current injected into the system by setting the reactive current command value to 0 or a negative value, or to allow the flexible DC to absorb reactive current from the system.

[0018] Optionally, the AC voltage recovery speed is detected, including:

[0019] Detect the AC voltage recovery rate and compare it with a recovery rate threshold;

[0020] When the AC voltage recovery rate is greater than the recovery rate threshold, it is determined that the circuit breaker near the fault point has tripped, and the AC voltage shows a step increase.

[0021] Optionally, a voltage recovery strategy is implemented, including:

[0022] Increase the reactive current command value to accelerate AC system voltage recovery.

[0023] According to another aspect of the present invention, a flexible DC-fed receiving-end grid short-circuit current optimization control device is provided, comprising:

[0024] The identification module is used to identify faults in the receiving-end power grid fed by flexible DC based on the real-time monitored grid-side AC voltage, and enters fault ride-through mode after the fault is identified.

[0025] The judgment module is used to determine the state of the phase-locked loop (PLL) in fault-crossing mode.

[0026] The execution module is used to execute the current limiting strategy based on the phase-locked loop state;

[0027] The detection module is used to detect the AC voltage recovery speed and confirm the delayed fault clearing based on the detection results of the voltage recovery speed.

[0028] The execution module is used to execute the voltage recovery strategy after the fault is cleared, and to restore the reactive current command value to the initial value after the voltage at the fault point is restored to the preset value.

[0029] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the storage medium storing a computer program for performing the methods described in any of the above aspects of the present invention.

[0030] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising: a processor; a memory for storing executable instructions of the processor; the processor being configured to read the executable instructions from the memory and execute the instructions to implement the method described in any of the preceding aspects of the present invention.

[0031] Therefore, this invention avoids the influx of short-circuit current into the AC system during a fault and provides reactive power support to the AC system during the fault recovery process, achieving coordinated control of short-circuit current suppression and voltage support. It achieves short-circuit current suppression by the flexible DC during the fault duration, without increasing the short-circuit current level of the receiving-end grid. Furthermore, it provides reactive power and voltage support by the flexible DC during fault recovery, accelerating the voltage recovery of the receiving-end grid after the fault.

[0060] Exemplary methods

[0061] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for optimizing short-circuit current control in a flexible DC-fed receiving-end power grid according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to electronic devices, such as… Figure 1 As shown, the optimized control method 100 for short-circuit current of the receiving-end grid fed by flexible DC transmission includes the following steps:

[0062] Step 101: Based on the real-time monitored grid-side AC voltage, identify the faults in the flexible DC feed into the receiving-end grid, and enter the fault ride-through mode after the fault is identified.

[0063] Step 102: Determine the state of the phase-locked loop (PLL) in fault-crossing mode;

[0064] Step 103: Execute the current limiting strategy based on the phase-locked loop state;

[0065] Step 104: Detect the AC voltage recovery speed and confirm the delay fault clearance based on the detection results of the voltage recovery speed;

[0066] Step 105: After the fault is cleared, execute the voltage recovery strategy, and after the voltage at the fault point is restored to the preset value, restore the reactive current command value to the initial value.

[0067] Specifically, this invention relates to the field of flexible DC transmission control in power systems, and discloses a short-circuit current suppression strategy for flexible DC feed-in receiving-end power grids. It focuses on addressing the problems of excessive short-circuit current levels and insufficient dynamic reactive power support capacity in the receiving-end power grid, proposing a short-circuit current optimization strategy with voltage support characteristics. This strategy can suppress flexible DC short-circuit currents during faults and, during the recovery period after circuit breaker operation and fault line clearance, inject reactive power into the system through flexible DC, thereby improving the voltage stability of the receiving-end system.

[0068] In the case of a flexible DC transmission system fed into an AC system, when a short-circuit fault occurs in the AC system, this invention provides a short-circuit current suppression strategy for the receiving-end grid fed into the flexible DC system. During the fault, the short-circuit current injected into the AC system by the flexible DC system can be effectively limited, thereby reducing the short-circuit current level at the fault point. At the same time, during the fault recovery process, a certain amount of reactive power is injected into the system to shorten the system voltage recovery time, thereby achieving coordinated control of short-circuit current suppression and voltage support.

[0069] After a three-phase short-circuit fault occurs in the vicinity of a flexible DC converter station, the short-circuit current injected by the flexible DC into the AC system is closely related to its own reactive current level. Therefore, reducing the reactive power exchange between the flexible DC and the system during the fault period can help reduce its contribution to the AC system's short-circuit current. After a short-circuit fault occurs, the circuit breaker closest to the fault point operates first. Generally, the circuit breaker at the far end operates to clear the fault after one cycle. To address the issues of short-circuit current suppression and voltage support coupling under fault disturbances, a control module is added to the original control structure of the flexible DC converter, including an AC voltage detection module, a phase-locked loop (PLL) state determination module, and a reactive power reference value switching module.

[0070] Step 1: Enter fault identification and fault traversal mode.

[0071] When a short-circuit fault occurs at the near-field point of the flexible DC converter station, causing a voltage drop at the point of common coupling, the AC voltage detection module monitors the grid-side AC voltage in real time. Once a drop in grid-side AC voltage is detected, the system immediately enters fault ride-through mode, preparing for subsequent fault handling operations.

[0072] Step 2: Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) Status Determination

[0073] (1) Parameter detection and comparison

[0074] The PLL state discrimination module detects the q-axis voltage of the flexible DC output and compares it with the threshold m.

[0075] (2) Status judgment and subsequent operations

[0076] If the q-axis voltage of the flexible DC output is greater than the threshold m, it indicates that the phase-locked loop failed to track the grid-side phase in time, and the fault is so severe that the controller fails. The system will handle the situation according to the severe fault response mechanism. If the q-axis voltage of the flexible DC output is less than the threshold m, it indicates that the phase-locked loop is operating normally, and the system can continue to execute the current limiting strategy.

[0077] Step 3: Implement rate limiting policy

[0078] By using a reactive current reference value switching module, the reactive current command value is set to 0 or a negative value. Before the circuit breaker operates (within 40-60ms after the fault occurs), based on the set reactive current command value, the reactive current injected into the system by the flexible DC transmission line is controlled to be 0, or the flexible DC transmission line is allowed to absorb reactive current from the system, thereby avoiding short-circuit current injected into the system by the flexible DC transmission line or reducing the short-circuit current level of the AC system.

[0079] Step 4: Voltage recovery detection and delay confirmation of fault clearing

[0080] (1) Voltage recovery speed detection

[0081] The voltage recovery discrimination module detects the AC side voltage recovery rate dV / dt and compares it with a threshold n. When dV / dt is greater than the threshold n, it indicates that the circuit breaker near the fault point has tripped, and the AC voltage shows a step increase.

[0082] (2) Delayed confirmation of fault clearing

[0083] Since the circuit breaker at the remote end of the fault point has not yet tripped and the fault point is not completely isolated, injecting reactive power at this time would increase the short-circuit current. Therefore, after a delay of t0 by the delay module, the fault is confirmed to be cleared and the system enters the voltage recovery stage.

[0084] Step 5: Execute the voltage recovery strategy

[0085] (1) Adjustment of reactive current command value

[0086] The controller executes a voltage recovery strategy by increasing the reactive current command value iqref through the reactive current reference value switching module.

[0087] (2) Reactive power output and voltage establishment

[0088] During the fault recovery phase, increasing the reactive power output of flexible DC helps to re-establish the system voltage.

[0089] Step 6: Restore the reactive current command value to its initial value.

[0090] When the AC voltage detection module detects that the fault point voltage has recovered to 0.95 pu, the reactive current command value is switched back to the initial value of the normal operating state through the reactive reference value switching module, so that the system can resume normal operation.

[0091] The following detailed description of a short-circuit current optimization control strategy for a flexible DC-fed receiving-end power grid according to the present invention, in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation.

[0092] Step 1: After a three-phase ground fault occurs in the vicinity of the converter station, a simplified diagram of the connection between the flexible DC and the synchronous generator is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, branch n is the equivalent branch of the synchronous generator (n = 1, 2, ..., N), and the flexible DC is equivalent to a current source. UGn represents the equivalent voltage source voltage of each synchronous generator, ZGn represents the equivalent impedance from the synchronous generator to the short-circuit point, ZV represents the equivalent impedance from the flexible DC to the short-circuit point, and Zf is the fault impedance. IGn represents the short-circuit current provided by the synchronous generator, IV represents the short-circuit current provided by the flexible DC, and If is the fault branch current. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the superposition of short-circuit currents of a synchronous generator and a flexible DC transmission line. The short-circuit current supplied by the flexible DC transmission line to the system and the short-circuit current of the AC system are mainly superimposed reactive currents.

[0093] Step 2: Add a flexible straight-line control module, such as Figure 4 It includes an AC voltage detection module, a PLL status determination module, and a reactive power reference value switching module.

[0094] Step 3: Add a PLL status detection module, such as Figure 5 To determine whether the phase-locked loop (PLL) is tracking the grid phase in a timely manner.

[0095] Step 4: Add an AC voltage detection module, such as Figure 6 The grid status is determined based on the AC voltage on the grid side.

[0096] Step 5: The following optimization strategy for the short-circuit current of the flexible DC converter station is implemented through an additional control module: When a short-circuit fault occurs in the vicinity of the flexible DC converter station, the AC voltage detection module judges the voltage drop of the system and identifies that the grid-side AC voltage US has decreased, thus entering the fault ride-through mode. The PLL status judgment module judges whether the phase-locked loop is operating normally, that is, whether the output q-axis voltage of the flexible DC converter is less than the threshold m. If it is greater than the threshold, the phase-locked loop has not yet tracked the grid-side phase, and the active and reactive currents of the flexible DC converter are limited simultaneously to limit the short-circuit current; if it is less than the threshold, it means that the phase-locked loop has completed phase locking, and the current limiting strategy continues to be executed. The reactive current reference value switching module switches the reactive current command value to Iqref1 to prevent the flexible DC converter from injecting short-circuit current into the AC system before the circuit breaker operates, i.e., during the period of 40-60ms after the fault.

[0097] When the AC voltage detection module detects that the system voltage recovery rate dUS / dt is greater than the threshold n, it indicates that the circuit breaker near the fault point has already tripped, and the AC voltage has experienced a step increase. At this time, the circuit breaker at the far end of the fault point has not yet tripped, and the fault point is not completely isolated. If reactive power is injected into the system at this time, it will further increase the short-circuit current at the fault point. Therefore, after a delay of t1 by the delay module, the fault is confirmed to be cleared, the system is judged to have entered the voltage recovery stage, and the voltage recovery strategy is executed.

[0098] The reactive power reference value switching module switches the reactive current command value to Iqref2, increasing the reactive power output with flexible DC during the fault recovery phase to promote rapid voltage recovery of the near-field AC system. Once the AC voltage detection module detects voltage recovery at the fault point, the reactive power reference value switching module switches the reactive current command value back to Iqref0. The input signals of the reactive power reference value switching module are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the control flowchart of this short-circuit current optimization strategy is as follows: Figure 8 As shown.

[0099] Table 1 Parameter Settings for Flexible DC Converter Station

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] A fully electromagnetic transient simulation system incorporating a flexible DC-DC converter was established. The receiving end of the flexible DC-DC converter employed constant DC voltage and constant reactive power control. The parameter settings for the flexible DC-DC converter are shown in Table 1, and the optimization strategy parameter settings are shown in Table 2. A three-phase short-circuit fault occurred on the 525kV AC line side of the receiving end of the flexible DC-DC converter at 4.0s, and the fault was cleared at 4.1s. The following three strategies were simulated for comparison: Strategy 1: The reactive current command value of the flexible DC-DC converter remained at 0 during the transient period, providing neither short-circuit current nor reactive power support to the AC system. Strategy 2: The reactive current command value of the flexible DC-DC converter was set as follows: Figure 9bThis strategy provides both short-circuit current to the AC system and reactive power support; Strategy 3: Adopting the proposed short-circuit current optimization strategy, the reactive current command value during a fault is set as follows... Figure 9a The reactive current command value during voltage recovery is set as follows: Figure 9b Flexible DC transmissions both absorb short-circuit current from the AC system and provide reactive power support to the AC system.

[0103] Figures 10a-12b The simulation results are based on the optimization strategy proposed in this patent. Figures 10a-10h This indicates that Strategy 2 results in the largest short-circuit current fed into the fault point by the flexible DC transmission line; Strategy 1 maintains a reactive current reference value of 0 during the fault period, while Strategy 3 absorbs reactive current from the AC system during the fault period, effectively reducing the short-circuit current fed into the fault point. Therefore, limiting the reactive current of the flexible DC transmission line can reduce the short-circuit current fed into the AC system by the flexible DC transmission line. Figure 11a and Figure 11b The results show the voltage recovery at the fault point under different strategies: Strategy 1 does not provide reactive power support to the system during the transient period, Strategy 2 continuously injects reactive current during the transient period, while Strategy 3 injects reactive current into the system during the voltage recovery phase, promoting rapid recovery of the system voltage. Compared with Strategy 1, the time for the system voltage to recover to 1.0 pu is shortened by about 0.15 seconds. Figure 12a and Figure 12b This indicates that, compared to Strategy 1, Strategy 3 results in faster power and AC voltage recovery speeds for the flexible DC near-field conventional DC, further improving the stability of the near-field power grid. This short-circuit current optimization strategy with voltage support characteristics enables coordinated control of short-circuit current suppression and voltage support, improving the interaction characteristics between the flexible DC and AC systems.

[0104] Therefore, this invention avoids the influx of short-circuit current into the AC system during a fault and provides reactive power support to the AC system during the fault recovery process, achieving coordinated control of short-circuit current suppression and voltage support. It achieves short-circuit current suppression by the flexible DC during the fault duration, without increasing the short-circuit current level of the receiving-end grid. Furthermore, it provides reactive power and voltage support by the flexible DC during fault recovery, accelerating the voltage recovery of the receiving-end grid after the fault.
