[0044] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] The core of this invention is to provide a short-circuit control device, method, system, and medium for a flexible DC converter valve, in order to solve the technical problem that short-circuiting the bridge arm through the grounding switches on both sides of the converter valve bridge arm results in the capacitor being able to discharge naturally, leading to low discharge efficiency and significant power transmission loss.

[0046] In order to make the person skilled in the art better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1 A short-circuit control device for a flexible direct current converter valve provided by an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , comprises a gas storage device 1, a converter valve monitoring machine 2, a safety switch 3, a first electromagnetic valve 4, a gas cylinder 5, a transmission rod 6, and a short-circuit piece 7 on the transmission rod 6.

[0047] The gas output end of the gas storage device 1 is connected with the first end of the safety switch 3, the second end of the safety switch 3 is connected with the converter valve monitoring machine 2, and the third end of the safety switch 3 is connected with the input end of the first electromagnetic valve 4; the output end of the first electromagnetic valve 4 is connected with the first end of the gas cylinder 5, and the second end of the gas cylinder 5 is connected with the transmission rod 6.

[0048] The converter valve monitoring machine 2 is used to control the first electromagnetic valve 4 to open after the safety switch 3 is controlled to open, so that the gas in the gas storage device 1 is transmitted to the gas cylinder 5.

[0049] The gas cylinder 5 is used to push the transmission rod 6 to move in a first direction after receiving the gas, so that the short-circuit piece 7 on the transmission rod 6 shorts the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor in the converter valve sub-module.

[0050] The gas storage device 1 can store inert gas. The gas output end of the gas storage device 1 is connected with the first end of the safety switch 3, the safety switch 3 can be turned on to conduct the gas circuit, and the safety switch 3 can be turned off to cut off the gas circuit. The second end of the safety switch 3 is connected with the converter valve monitoring machine 2, that is, the opening or closing of the safety switch 3 can be controlled through the converter valve monitoring machine 2. The third end of the safety switch 3 is connected with the input end of the first electromagnetic valve 4, and the first electromagnetic valve 4 is also called a closing electromagnetic valve. In practice, when there are multiple bridge arms, the upper bridge arms of multiple phases can share one first electromagnetic valve 4, and the lower bridge arms of multiple phases can share one first electromagnetic valve 4, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 2 The overall structure diagram of a short-circuit control device for a flexible direct current converter valve provided by an embodiment of the present application, there are A﹢ (representing the upper bridge arm of phase A), B﹢ (representing the upper bridge arm of phase B), C﹢ (representing the upper bridge arm of phase C), A- (representing the lower bridge arm of phase A), B- (representing the lower bridge arm of phase B), and C- (representing the lower bridge arm of phase C). Among them, A﹢, B﹢ and C﹢ share one electromagnetic valve; A-, B- and C- share one electromagnetic valve.

[0051] The output end of the first electromagnetic valve 4 is connected with the first end of the gas cylinder 5, and the second end of the gas cylinder 5 is connected with the transmission rod 6. The converter valve monitoring machine 2 controls the safety switch 3 to open. The action of controlling the safety switch 3 to open can be that the converter valve monitoring machine 2 controls the safety switch 3 to open when receiving information representing that the converter valve needs to be repaired.

[0052] After the control safety switch 3 is opened, the converter valve monitoring machine 2 controls the first electromagnetic valve 4 to open, so that the gas in the gas storage device 1 is transmitted to the gas cylinder 5. It is worth noting that the opening of the first electromagnetic valve 4 can be that the converter valve monitoring machine 2 sends an opening instruction to the first electromagnetic valve 4 to control the opening of the first electromagnetic valve 4, or the converter valve monitoring machine 2 sends a user an opening instruction of the first electromagnetic valve 4 to manually control the opening of the first electromagnetic valve 4.

[0053] After receiving the gas, the gas cylinder 5 drives the transmission rod 6 to move in the first direction, so that the short-circuit piece 7 on the transmission rod 6 short-circuits the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor in the converter valve sub-module. The first direction is not limited, and is determined according to the position of the short-circuit piece 7 and the capacitor in practice, as long as the movement of the transmission rod 6 in the first direction can short-circuit the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor. As shown in Figure 1 , the short-circuit piece 7 is driven by the transmission rod 6 to move to the dashed line position in Figure 1 , so as to short-circuit the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor.

[0054] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the short-circuit control process described above, the following will be described in conjunction with the drawings and examples.

[0055] Figure 3 A converter valve single sub-module topology provided for an embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 3 , two IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) in the converter valve single sub-module 10 respectively form a branch with a respective anti-parallel diode, one of the IGBT branches is connected in parallel with a resistor R and a capacitor C, and the other IGBT branch is connected in series with a switch S1, and each part of the circuit is connected to each other to form a circuit topology containing a switch, a power semiconductor device, a resistor and a capacitor. The principle of realizing the short-circuit of the capacitor in the present application is that the two ends of the capacitor C are connected with the switch S2, and the switch is closed to realize the short-circuit of the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor C and discharge.

[0056] Figure 4 A gas cylinder action profile and a schematic diagram of the short-circuit of the capacitor in the sub-module provided for an embodiment of the present application are shown in Figure 4 , the gas cylinder 5 is connected with the transmission rod 6, and the transmission rod 6 is provided with the short-circuit piece 7. In the closing process, the gas path is connected with the left side of the gas cylinder 5, the gas cylinder 5 drives the transmission rod 6 to move right, and when the transmission rod 6 drives the short-circuit piece 7 to move to the position of the capacitor, the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor can be short-circuited, so that the capacitor is discharged. Figure 4In the embodiment, the multiple sub-modules of the converter valve realize the short circuit of the capacitors in the sub-modules under the action of the cylinder 5, that is, realize the discharge of the capacitors. After closing, the transmission rod 6 is connected with the main busbar of the converter valve tower, and the main busbar is grounded through the valve hall ground knife or ground wire.

[0057] In the short circuit control device of the HVDC converter valve provided in the embodiment, the gas output end of the gas storage device 1 is connected with the first end of the safety switch 3, the second end of the safety switch 3 is connected with the converter valve monitoring machine 2, the third end of the safety switch 3 is connected with the input end of the first electromagnetic valve 4, the output end of the first electromagnetic valve 4 is connected with the first end of the cylinder 5, and the second end of the cylinder 5 is connected with the transmission rod 6. After the safety switch 3 is controlled to be opened by the converter valve monitoring machine 2, the first electromagnetic valve 4 is controlled to be opened, so that the gas in the gas storage device 1 is transmitted to the cylinder 5. The transmission rod 6 is driven to move in the first direction under the action of the cylinder 5. Since the short-circuit piece 7 is arranged on the transmission rod 6, the short-circuit piece 7 can short the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitors in the converter valve sub-module under the driving of the transmission rod 6, so as to complete the discharge of the capacitors in the converter valve sub-module. Compared with the natural discharge mode of the capacitors, which relies on a weak leakage path and releases the electric charge very slowly, in the short circuit control device of the HVDC converter valve provided in the embodiment, the short circuit forms a low-resistance special loop, so that the electric charge can be quickly released, that is, the discharge time is saved and the discharge efficiency is improved. In the saved discharge time, the electric quantity can be transmitted, and the electric energy transmission loss is reduced. Moreover, by arranging the safety switch 3 in the device, the gas passage can be quickly cut off in an abnormal situation (such as personnel misoperation or equipment failure), so as to prevent the electromagnetic valve and the cylinder 5 from accidentally operating and causing safety risks.

[0058] The process in which the short circuit control device of the HVDC converter valve realizes the short circuit is described above. In actuality, after the discharge is completed, the converter valve needs to be switched to a running state. In order to ensure the normal operation of the converter valve, in some embodiments, the short circuit control device of the HVDC converter valve further comprises a second electromagnetic valve. The second electromagnetic valve is also called a tripping electromagnetic valve. The input end of the second electromagnetic valve is connected with the third end of the safety switch 3, and the output end of the second electromagnetic valve is connected with the second end of the cylinder 5.

[0059] The converter valve monitoring machine 2 is used to control the second electromagnetic valve to be opened after the safety switch 3 is controlled to be opened, so that the gas in the gas storage device 1 is transmitted to the cylinder 5.

[0060] The cylinder 5 is used to drive the transmission rod 6 to move in the second direction after receiving the gas, so that the short-circuit piece 7 on the transmission rod 6 disconnects the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitors in the converter valve sub-module. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0061] The action of controlling the safety switch 3 to be opened can be that the converter valve monitoring machine 2 controls the safety switch 3 to be opened in the case of receiving information representing that the maintenance of the converter valve is completed.

[0062] Similarly, the second electromagnetic valve opening can be that the converter valve monitoring machine 2 sends an opening instruction to the second electromagnetic valve to control the second electromagnetic valve to open; or the converter valve monitoring machine 2 sends a user to represent the second electromagnetic valve opening instruction, and the user manually controls the second electromagnetic valve to open.

[0063] There is no limitation for the second direction, and the position of the short-circuiting piece 7 and the capacitor is determined according to the actual situation. As long as the transmission rod 6 moves along the second direction to disconnect the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor (i.e. in the open state), the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor are disconnected, that is, S2 in the formula Figure 3 is in an open state. Continue to combine the above Figure 4 , the process of disconnecting the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor is explained. In the process of opening, the gas circuit is connected to the right side of the air cylinder 5, the air cylinder 5 drives the transmission rod 6 to move left, and when the transmission rod 6 drives the short-circuiting piece 7 to move to a position away from the capacitor, the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor are in the open state. Figure 4 , it is also shown that multiple converter valve sub-modules are collectively controlled by the air cylinder 5 to disconnect the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor in the sub-module, that is, the capacitor stops discharging, and the converter valve can be in a running state.

[0064] In order to realize the short-circuit control of the capacitor of the converter valve sub-module on a single bridge arm, in some embodiments, the short-circuit control device of the flexible DC converter further comprises a valve on the bridge arm; the valve on the bridge arm is arranged between the output end of the first electromagnetic valve 4 and the first end of the air cylinder 5; the converter valve monitoring machine 2 is used to control the valve on the bridge arm to open after controlling the safety switch 3 to open, and control the first electromagnetic valve 4 to open after the valve on the bridge arm is opened.

[0065] The valve on the bridge arm is also arranged between the output end of the second electromagnetic valve and the second end of the air cylinder 5; the converter valve monitoring machine 2 is used to control the valve on the bridge arm to open after controlling the safety switch 3 to open, and control the second electromagnetic valve to open after the valve on the bridge arm is opened.

[0066] The valve on the bridge arm can be realized by automatic control or manual control. Through the valve on the bridge arm, the short-circuit control of the capacitor of the converter valve sub-module on a single bridge arm is realized.

[0067] The cylinder 5 pushes the transmission rod 6 to move in the first direction after receiving the gas, and the shorting piece 7 on the transmission rod 6 shorts the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor in the converter valve sub-module; and the cylinder 5 pushes the transmission rod 6 to move in the second direction after receiving the gas, and the shorting piece 7 on the transmission rod 6 disconnects the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor in the converter valve sub-module. In order to ensure that the shorting is in place or not in place, in some embodiments, the short-circuit control device of the HVDC converter valve further comprises a position detection device. One end of the position detection device is connected with the transmission rod 6; the other end of the position detection device is connected with the converter valve monitoring machine 2, for collecting the position information of the transmission rod 6, and sending the position information of the transmission rod 6 to the converter valve monitoring machine 2.

[0068] The converter valve monitoring machine 2 is used to determine whether the shorting of the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor is in place or not in place according to the position information of the transmission rod 6 after the cylinder 5 completes pushing the transmission rod 6 to move in the first direction.

[0069] The converter valve monitoring machine 2 is used to determine whether the shorting of the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor is in place or not in place according to the position information of the transmission rod 6 after the cylinder 5 completes pushing the transmission rod 6 to move in the second direction.

[0070] As shown in Figure 4 , the position detection device provides a position feedback signal, which can be transmitted to the converter valve monitoring machine 2 to indicate whether the cylinder 5 is in place, and the converter valve monitoring machine 2 can remotely check the action of each cylinder 5, and the action feedback can complete the determination of the shielding of the position display of the cylinder 5.

[0071] In order to ensure that the gas in the gas storage device 1 has sufficient pressure, in some embodiments, the short-circuit control device of the HVDC converter valve further comprises a pressure display device 8 and a pressure regulator 9. The pressure display device 8 and the pressure regulator 9 are arranged between the gas storage device 1 and the safety switch 3 in sequence, as shown in Figure 2 The pressure regulator 9 is used to adjust the pressure value of the gas output by the gas storage device 1 to a preset pressure value.

[0072] The cylinder 5 is used to push the transmission rod 6 to move in the first direction or push the transmission rod 6 to move in the second direction after receiving the gas with the preset pressure value.

[0073] The preset pressure value is not limited, and is determined according to the actual situation.

[0074] In addition to the method of short-circuiting the capacitors in the submodule via the shorting connector 7 described above, to further ensure capacitor discharge, in some embodiments, the short-circuit control device of the flexible DC converter valve also includes a first grounding wire and a second grounding wire. After the shorting connector 7 on the transmission rod 6 short-circuits the positive and negative terminals of the capacitors in the converter valve submodule, when a valve tower exists in the bridge arm, the inlet valve side connector of the converter valve tower is short-circuited to the first grounding wire; the outlet valve side connector of the converter valve tower is short-circuited to the second grounding wire.

[0075] When there are multiple valve towers in the bridge arm, the front side of the valve tower closest to the first end of the bridge arm is short-circuited with the first grounding wire; the rear end of the valve tower closest to the second end of the bridge arm is short-circuited with the second grounding wire.

[0076] Figure 5 This is a wiring diagram of a flexible DC converter valve bridge arm provided for an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, valve towers 1' to N' are installed on the bridge arm. A first grounding wire is installed at the front end of valve tower 1', and a second grounding wire is installed at the rear end of valve tower N', thus completing the grounding of all valve towers in the bridge arm.

[0077] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the short-circuit control device for the flexible DC converter valve provided by this invention, the following will again refer to the above text. Figure 2 The device will be described with specific embodiments.

[0078] The entire device includes a converter valve monitoring unit 2, a safety switch 3, a first solenoid valve 4 (closing solenoid valve), a second solenoid valve (opening solenoid valve), and a bridge arm valve ( Figure 2 (Not shown in the image) Inert gas cylinder. The short-circuit control device of the flexible DC converter valve is controlled by the converter valve monitoring unit 2, which issues an action command to control the opening state of the safety switch 3. After the safety switch 3 is in the open state, it can control the opening solenoid valve and closing solenoid valve to operate manually or remotely automatically. Each bridge arm gas line has a corresponding manual valve handle. After opening the valve handle, by adjusting the rated value of the inert gas output pressure, the cylinder 5 can push the transmission rod 6 on the valve tower to move. The transmission rod 6 short-circuits the positive and negative terminals of the sub-module capacitor on the valve tower, completing the sub-module discharge function.

[0079] Since the inert gas is stored in the gas cylinder, the gas pressure in each gas cylinder needs to be greater than a certain value (0.5 MPa by default), and can be adjusted through the pressure regulator 9. After confirming that the safety switch 3 and the bridge arm valve are opened, the gas cylinder gas pressure is pushed by the control solenoid valve to form a path for the inert gas in the pipeline, and the cylinder 5 is actuated to drive the transmission rod 6 to act, completing the short-circuiting and pulling apart of the sub-module. It should be noted that the switch command of the safety switch 3 is issued by the converter valve monitoring machine 2, and the safety switch 3 cannot be started before receiving the actuation command from the converter valve monitoring machine 2. The following on-off solenoid valve cannot be operated. At the same time, if the safety switch 3 command is successfully issued, the converter valve monitoring machine 2 will also feed back the switch action success signal.

[0080] After the cylinder 5 is actuated, the position feedback signal connected to the transmission rod 6 can be transmitted to the converter valve monitoring machine 2 to determine whether the cylinder 5 is actuated to the correct position. The converter valve monitoring machine 2 can remotely view the actuation of each cylinder 5, and the actuation feedback can complete the determination of the position display of the cylinder 5. As shown in the above Figure 4 .

[0081] The following is an example of the short-circuit control device of the HVDC converter valve to explain the process of short-circuiting the positive and negative electrodes of the capacitor and pulling apart the positive and negative electrodes. Figure 2

[0082] When the converter valve is under maintenance, the safety switch 3 is opened by the converter valve monitoring machine 2. After opening, the bridge arm valve is manually opened. If all the bridge arm towers need to be grounded and short-circuited, each bridge arm closing command manual valve needs to be opened, and the A+, B+, C+, A-, B-, and C- manual closing valves are opened (if a single or multiple towers need to be grounded and short-circuited, only the corresponding bridge arm manual closing valve needs to be opened). Then, the remote control closing solenoid valve is actuated or the manual control closing solenoid valve is actuated to drive the cylinder 5 to act, thereby short-circuiting the sub-module capacitor positive and negative electrodes. After the cylinder 5 is actuated, the position feedback signal connected to the transmission rod 6 can be transmitted to the converter valve monitoring machine 2 to determine whether the cylinder 5 is actuated to the correct position. The converter valve monitoring machine 2 can remotely view the actuation of each cylinder 5, and the actuation feedback can complete the determination of the position display of the cylinder 5. As shown in the above Figure 5 .

[0083] ​When the converter valve completes the maintenance work, the safety switch 3 is opened by the converter valve monitoring machine 2, and after the safety switch 3 is opened, the bridge arm valve is manually opened. If the whole bridge arm valve tower needs to be started, the bridge arm opening instruction manual valve needs to be opened, and the A+, B+, C+, A-, B- and C- manual opening valves are opened. If single or multiple valve towers need to be started, only the corresponding bridge arm manual opening valve needs to be opened. Then, the remote control electromagnetic valve is actuated or the manual control electromagnetic valve is actuated to actuate the push cylinder 5, so that the positive and negative electrodes of the sub-module capacitor are switched from short circuit to open circuit. After the pushing is completed, whether the opening is in place is detected by the background, and then each bridge arm opening manual valve is closed.
