[0025] Referring to Figure 1 To solve the technical problems of the prior art fault ride-through method, an embodiment of the present application provides a fault ride-through method based on a hybrid converter transmission system for offshore wind power, comprising: S1, when determining that a voltage fluctuation abnormal event occurs in the hybrid converter transmission system, identifying the fault type according to the voltage fluctuation abnormal event; wherein the hybrid converter transmission system comprises a diode rectifier 1, an auxiliary converter 2, a high-voltage DC bus 3 and a receiving-end MMC converter 4; Illustratively, referring to Figure 2 is a specific structure schematic diagram of the hybrid converter transmission system described in the embodiment; the hybrid converter transmission system connects an offshore wind farm and an onshore AC power grid, and the purpose is to transmit the power generated by the offshore wind farm to the onshore AC power grid through the hybrid converter transmission system, so as to realize the grid connection of the generated wind power; one end of the diode rectifier 1 is connected with the offshore wind farm, and the other end of the diode rectifier 1 is connected with one end of the receiving-end MMC converter 4 through the high-voltage DC bus 3; the auxiliary converter 2 is connected with the offshore wind farm, and the other end of the receiving-end MMC converter 4 is connected with the onshore AC power grid.
[0026] Illustratively, referring to Figure 3 In the embodiment, the AC voltage of the point of common coupling (PCC point) of the hybrid converter transmission system is detected and the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage to determine whether a voltage fluctuation abnormal event occurs in the hybrid converter transmission system: In one preferred embodiment, the voltage fluctuation abnormal event determination process comprises: When the AC voltage of the PCC point is detected to be out of the first normal fluctuation range, it is determined that a voltage fluctuation abnormal event occurs in the hybrid converter transmission system; Wherein, the PCC point is the common connection point of the offshore wind farm, the diode rectifier 1 and the auxiliary converter 2; Specifically, the first normal fluctuation range can be designed according to actual conditions, such as 0.9 times to 1.1 times of the rated AC voltage of the PCC point; similarly, the second normal fluctuation range can be designed according to actual conditions, such as 0.9 times to 1.1 times of the high-voltage DC bus voltage.
[0027] The application realizes the preliminary screening of the voltage fluctuation abnormal event by introducing the AC voltage of the PCC point and the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage, and provides a data basis for fault type identification; and when only the AC voltage of the PCC point is abnormal and the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage is normal, the criterion can effectively preliminarily lock the fault range on the AC side, thereby excluding the interference of the DC side fault or the receiving end power grid fault.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the identifying the fault type according to the voltage fluctuation abnormal event comprises: when it is detected that the AC voltage of the PCC point exceeds the upper limit of the first normal fluctuation range and it is detected that the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage exceeds the upper limit of the second normal fluctuation range, the fault type is identified as the onshore AC power grid fault; when it is detected that the AC voltage of the PCC point exceeds the lower limit of the first normal fluctuation range and it is detected that the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage exceeds the lower limit of the second normal fluctuation range, the fault type is identified as the high-voltage DC bus 3 fault; when it is detected that the AC voltage of the PCC point exceeds the lower limit of the first normal fluctuation range and it is detected that the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage does not exceed the second normal fluctuation range, the fault type is identified as the offshore AC submarine cable fault; Specifically, when it is detected that the AC voltage of the PCC point exceeds the upper limit of the first normal fluctuation range and it is detected that the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage exceeds the upper limit of the second normal fluctuation range, it indicates that there is an active power surplus in the system, and the receiving end power grid cannot effectively consume all the power transmitted from the offshore, resulting in energy accumulation in the system and voltage rise, and therefore the fault type is identified as the onshore AC power grid fault; Specifically, when it is detected that the AC voltage of the PCC point exceeds the lower limit of the first normal fluctuation range and it is detected that the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage exceeds the lower limit of the second normal fluctuation range, it indicates that there is a serious power transmission interruption in the DC power transmission link of the system, and the most typical case is a short-circuit fault of the DC bus, resulting in voltage collapse, and therefore the fault type is identified as the high-voltage DC bus 3 fault; Specifically, when it is detected that the AC voltage of the PCC point exceeds the lower limit of the first normal fluctuation range and it is detected that the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage does not exceed the second normal fluctuation range, it indicates that the fault point is located on the offshore AC side, resulting in that part of the power cannot be converged, but the stability of the DC backbone is not destroyed, and therefore the fault type is identified as the offshore AC submarine cable fault.
[0029] By constructing the coordination criterion of AC voltage based on PCC point and HVDC bus 3 voltage, the fault type of hybrid converter transmission system is identified, and the fault source is divided into three areas: onshore AC power grid, HVDC bus 3 and offshore AC submarine cable, which greatly improves the speed and reliability of dealing with complex faults.
[0030] S2, when it is identified that the fault type is onshore AC power grid fault, the DC energy dissipation device preset at the receiving end MMC converter 4 is enabled, so that the DC energy dissipation device consumes the active power generated by the offshore wind farm during the voltage fluctuation abnormal event; Illustratively, when a transient fault occurs in the onshore AC power grid, as shown in Figure 4 , the active power cannot be fully transmitted to the AC power grid by the onshore receiving end MMC converter 4, and will accumulate on the HVDC bus 3, causing the HVDC bus 3 voltage to rise, and the peak value of the HVDC bus 3 voltage needs to be limited during the fault; wherein the relationship between the HVDC bus 3 voltage and the active power is: In the formula, represents the equivalent capacitance of the HVDC bus 3 and the receiving end MMC converter 4; represents the active power transmitted by the offshore wind farm to the HVDC bus 3 through the hybrid converter transmission system; represents the active power transmitted by the receiving end MMC converter 4 to the onshore AC power grid; In order to limit the peak value of the HVDC bus 3 voltage, the DC energy dissipation device preset at the receiving end MMC converter 4 is enabled, and when the HVDC bus 3 voltage is higher than 1.08 p.u. during the onshore AC power grid fault, the DC energy dissipation device is put into operation; when the HVDC bus 3 voltage is lower than 0.95 p.u., the DC energy dissipation device is taken out of operation; thus, by putting the DC energy dissipation device into operation, the excess active power generated by the offshore wind farm during the onshore AC power grid fault is released, so as to maintain the stability of the HVDC bus 3 voltage. And based on the hybrid converter transmission system of the diode rectifier 1, when the onshore AC power grid fails, the fault characteristics will be passively transmitted to the offshore wind farm through the action between various electrical quantities; therefore, when the wind turbine in the offshore wind farm detects that the offshore AC voltage rises, the output active power of the wind turbine needs to be reduced at the same time, so as to reduce the HVDC bus 3 voltage.
[0031] S3, when it is identified that the fault type is offshore AC submarine cable fault, the AC circuit breaker connected with the offshore AC submarine cable where the fault occurs in the offshore wind farm is disconnected, and the on-off state of the diode rectifier 1 and the auxiliary converter 2 is controlled; Illustratively, for offshore AC grid fault, the fault usually occurs on the offshore AC submarine cable of the offshore wind farm, and the offshore AC submarine cable is generally a permanent fault, at this time, different strategies should be adopted according to different fault points; In a preferred embodiment, the offshore AC submarine cable comprises branch submarine cables; the offshore wind farm is connected with the diode rectifier 1 and the auxiliary converter 2 through the branch submarine cables and corresponding AC circuit breakers respectively; The step of disconnecting the AC circuit breaker connected with the offshore AC submarine cable where the fault occurs and controlling the on-off state of the diode rectifier 1 and the auxiliary converter 2 when it is identified that the fault type is offshore AC submarine cable fault, comprises: When it is identified that the fault type is offshore AC submarine cable fault and it is determined that the fault occurs on the branch submarine cable, the branch submarine cable where the fault point exists is taken as the target branch submarine cable; the AC circuit breaker connected with the target branch submarine cable is disconnected, and the on state of the diode rectifier 1 and the auxiliary converter 2 is maintained; Specifically, referring to Figure 5 For the fault at F1 point in Figure 5 the branch submarine cable of the offshore wind farm, at this time, the voltage of the hybrid converter transmission system will decrease quickly, and the corresponding AC circuit breaker B1 needs to be disconnected as soon as possible to remove the fault branch submarine cable.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the offshore AC submarine cable further comprises a collection cable; all the branch submarine cables are connected to the collection cable; The step of disconnecting the AC circuit breaker connected with the offshore AC submarine cable where the fault occurs and controlling the on-off state of the diode rectifier 1 and the auxiliary converter 2 when it is identified that the fault type is offshore AC submarine cable fault, comprises: When it is identified that the fault type is offshore AC submarine cable fault and it is determined that the fault occurs on the collection cable, all the AC circuit breakers are disconnected, and the on state of the diode rectifier 1 and the auxiliary converter 2 is switched to the blocking state; Specifically, referring to Figure 5 For the fault at F2 point in Figure 5 the collection cable of the offshore wind farm, at this time, all the AC circuit breakers must be disconnected, and the auxiliary converter 2 must also be blocked and shut down, and then restarted after the subsequent hybrid converter transmission system is repaired and recovered; because the action time of the AC circuit breaker is usually between 60ms and 100ms, during which the remaining branch wind turbine will enter the low voltage ride through mode, the grid side converter reduces the output of active power, and the excess active power generated by the machine side converter is consumed by the unloading circuit inside the wind turbine; For the diode rectifier 1, after the AC side fault, the AC side voltage drops rapidly, and since the DC bus voltage is constant, the diode rectifier 1 is quickly locked out and no longer transmits active power; for the auxiliary converter 2, since it is mounted on the PCC point (point of common coupling) as an APF (active power filter), it must be quickly locked out to prevent the energy of the sub-modules in the auxiliary converter 2 from being lost; after 100 ms, if the fault branch of the wind farm has been cut off, the AC voltage in the hybrid current transmission and DC transmission system can be re-established to resume normal operation, and if overcurrent still occurs, indicating that the fault has not been cut off, the auxiliary converter 2 is permanently locked out, and the hybrid current transmission and DC transmission system is shut down for maintenance.
[0033] S4, when the fault type is identified as a high-voltage DC bus 3 fault, the auxiliary converter 2 is locked out; a pre-set DC circuit breaker at the receiving end MMC converter 4 is enabled to disconnect the receiving end MMC converter 4 from the high-voltage DC bus 3; Specifically, referring to Figure 6 , the high-voltage DC bus 3 fault can be divided into two types of faults: Figure 6 The fault at point F3 is a single-stage short-circuit fault; the hybrid current transmission and DC transmission system of the embodiment is a pseudo-bipolar system, so the non-fault pole will bear twice the DC voltage during normal operation, which will affect the insulation of the electrical equipment in the hybrid current transmission and DC transmission system; if each electrical equipment in the hybrid current transmission and DC transmission system can withstand twice the insulation voltage during normal operation, active power can still be transmitted; but in this embodiment, the same fault protection measures as for inter-stage short-circuit faults are taken to prevent device overvoltage breakdown; Figure 6 The fault at point F4 is an inter-stage short-circuit fault, which is more serious than a single-stage short-circuit fault, and the DC bus voltage will decrease rapidly; for the receiving end MMC converter 4, the DC inductance is needed to limit the DC short-circuit current at this time, therefore, the DC circuit breaker pre-set at the receiving end MMC converter 4 is used to disconnect the receiving end MMC converter 4 from the high-voltage DC bus 3 to prevent equipment damage; for the offshore AC power grid, due to the characteristics of the diode rectifier 1, the voltage of the offshore AC power grid will also decrease rapidly at this time, so the wind turbine generators in the offshore wind farm will soon enter a low-wearing state; for the auxiliary converter 2, the auxiliary converter 2 must be quickly locked out to prevent the energy stored in the sub-module capacitors from being quickly lost.
[0034] In order to better illustrate the present application, the simulation system is used to simulate each fault type proposed in the embodiment, and the corresponding protection scheme is verified. Specifically, the steady-state simulation model of the offshore wind power through the hybrid converter DC transmission system is built by using the simulation platform, and the corresponding crossing scheme of the two fault types of the onshore AC power grid fault and the offshore AC submarine cable fault is verified respectively. Thus, the simulation results are analyzed to determine whether the crossing scheme realizes the stable crossing of the possible faults in the operation of the offshore wind power through the hybrid converter DC transmission system, and further to provide stable protection.
[0035] Referring to Figure 7 , the simulation results after using the corresponding crossing scheme for the onshore AC power grid fault; it can be seen from Figure 7 (e) that before the fault occurs, the offshore wind farm output power reaches the rated value, and the system is in a stable operating state; as shown in Figure 7 (a), at t=10s, a three-phase ground fault occurs in the onshore AC power grid, which lasts for 500ms, at this time, the fault crossing is performed through the DC energy consumption device, and the current limiting of the receiving converter is put into operation, as shown in Figure 7 (b), during the fault, when the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage is higher than 1.08p.u, the DC energy consumption device is put into operation; when the high-voltage DC bus 3 voltage is lower than 0.95p.u, the DC energy consumption device is taken out of operation, as shown in Figure 7 (d); throughout the process, the offshore wind farm output active power is constant; it can be seen that the DC bus voltage is always limited within 1.2p.u, as shown in Figure 7 (c); after the fault is over, the DC energy consumption device is taken out, and the system returns to the normal operating state.
[0036] Referring to Figure 8 , the simulation results after using the corresponding crossing scheme for the offshore AC submarine cable fault; before the fault occurs, the system is in a stable operating state, and the offshore wind farm outputs rated power, as shown in Figure 8 (f). At t=10s, a serious three-phase ground fault occurs in the collection cable of the offshore wind farm, which lasts for 100ms. At t=10.1s, the corresponding AC circuit breaker is disconnected to remove the fault branch; it can be seen that after the fault occurs, the AC grid voltage drops rapidly, as shown in Figure 8 (a), at this time, the wind turbine in the offshore wind farm enters the low crossing mode, and the offshore wind farm current is reduced to zero, as shown in Figure 8 (b), the active power is also reduced to zero, as shown in Figure 8 (f). After detecting the AC side fault, the auxiliary converter 2 is quickly locked, so the output current is also reduced to zero, as shown in Figure 8 (e). Since the DC bus voltage is still controlled by the onshore receiving MMC converter 4 to be constant, after the fault occurs, the diode rectifier 1 is quickly cut off, and the conduction current is reduced to zero, as shown inFigure 8 (c) (d) shown; when the AC circuit breaker acts, the fault branch is cut off, the blocking state of the auxiliary converter 2 is released, the AC voltage of the PCC point is re-established, the offshore wind farm restores active power output, and enters a new stable operation state.
[0037] The analysis result shows that the offshore wind power transmission system through hybrid conversion of the fault ride-through method can effectively realize stable ride-through of offshore and onshore AC / DC faults, effectively protect power equipment and efficient transmission of wind power to the grid.
[0038] Referring to Figure 9 , an offshore wind power transmission system through hybrid conversion based on a fault ride-through device is provided, comprising: A fault type identification module is configured to identify a fault type according to a voltage fluctuation abnormal event when determining that the hybrid conversion transmission system has the voltage fluctuation abnormal event; wherein the hybrid conversion transmission system comprises a diode rectifier 1, an auxiliary converter 2, a high-voltage DC bus 3 and a receiving end MMC converter 4. A first fault ride-through module is configured to enable a DC energy consumption device preset at the receiving end MMC converter 4 when identifying that the fault type is an onshore AC grid fault, so that the DC energy consumption device consumes active power generated by the offshore wind farm during the voltage fluctuation abnormal event. A second fault ride-through module is configured to disconnect an AC circuit breaker connected to the offshore AC cable fault in the offshore wind farm, and control the switching state of the diode rectifier 1 and the auxiliary converter 2 when identifying that the fault type is an offshore AC cable fault. A third fault ride-through module is configured to block the auxiliary converter 2 when identifying that the fault type is a high-voltage DC bus 3 fault; and enable a DC circuit breaker preset at the receiving end MMC converter 4, so that the DC circuit breaker cuts off the connection between the receiving end MMC converter 4 and the high-voltage DC bus 3.
