Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of energy storage type MMC control, and particularly relates to a method for suppressing double-frequency circulating current of an energy storage type MMC and a related device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Under the background that new energy power generation is gradually moving towards large-scale base and remoteness, an energy storage type flexible DC system combining a modular multilevel converter (MMC) and an energy storage system emerges as the times require. The energy storage type flexible DC system uses an energy storage type MMC as a converter unit, combines the control flexibility of the MMC and the energy abundance of the energy storage, can be used to build a large-scale power transmission channel and suppress new energy output uncertainty, and can also provide transient support for a power system, and is a new technical path for safe and efficient transmission of large-scale clean energy base power.

[0003] Unlike other types of voltage source converters, the energy storage type MMC often has internal unbalanced currents between three-phase bridge arms during operation. The unbalanced currents include a DC component, a fundamental component, a double-frequency component and other small components, wherein the DC component represents the power exchange between the sub-module capacitor inside the converter and the DC system, and the fundamental component represents the power exchange between the sub-module capacitor and the AC system. Through a large number of sub-module capacitors as carriers, electric energy can be transmitted between the AC side and the DC side, so the DC component and the fundamental component are necessary in the internal unbalanced current. However, the double-frequency component and other small components will bring additional requirements to the current passing capacity of the converter, so this part of the component is unnecessary.

[0004] Existing researches have proposed quite perfect suppression schemes for internal asymmetric circulating current and sub-module voltage ripple in the MMC, including circulating current suppression control and harmonic injection control schemes. However, in the case of output imbalance of the upper and lower bridge arms of the energy storage type MMC, the system will additionally introduce asymmetric fundamental bridge arm currents, and under the influence of this, the typical circulating current suppression strategy will not work.

[0055] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in Fig. 1, Figure 1 The present application provides a double-frequency circulating current suppression method of an energy storage MMC, which comprises the following steps:

[0057] S102: Obtain the AC voltage of the energy storage MMC, the DC current of the energy storage MMC, and the bridge arm current of each bridge arm of the energy storage MMC, respectively.

[0058] Specifically, the energy storage MMC can comprise a three-phase circuit, and the three-phase circuit corresponds to phase A, phase B and phase C, respectively. Each phase circuit can comprise an upper bridge arm and a lower bridge arm. Therefore, the energy storage MMC can comprise six bridge arms, which are the upper bridge arm of the phase A circuit, the lower bridge arm of the phase A circuit, the upper bridge arm of the phase B circuit, the lower bridge arm of the phase B circuit, the upper bridge arm of the phase C circuit and the lower bridge arm of the phase C circuit.

[0059] It can be understood that the specific circuit structure of each bridge arm in the energy storage MMC can be determined according to actual conditions, and the present application does not make specific limitations thereon. In some examples, each bridge arm can comprise a plurality of sub-modules comprising a half-bridge converter and an energy storage unit, and the circulating current is realized through the synergistic effect of the half-bridge converter and the energy storage unit.

[0060] In this step, the AC voltage of the energy storage MMC, the DC current of the energy storage MMC and the bridge arm current of each bridge arm can be obtained, respectively. The AC voltage can be the voltage at the connection between each phase circuit and the power grid in the three-phase circuit of the energy storage MMC. The DC current can be the transmission current between the energy storage MMC and the DC system. The bridge arm current can be the current flowing through the bridge arm. Since the structures and working states of the upper and lower bridge arms of the energy storage MMC can be different, the bridge arm currents of different bridge arms can also be different.

[0061] S104: Determine the three-phase energy output value of each bridge arm.

[0062] In this step, the three-phase energy output value of each of the six bridge arms can be determined to reflect the real-time output value of the energy storage system of the bridge arm through the three-phase energy output value. After calculation, six three-phase energy output values corresponding to the six bridge arms can be obtained, so that the energy storage state of each bridge arm can be determined accordingly.

[0063] It can be understood that the three-phase energy output value can be determined in various ways in the present application. In some examples, S104 can include the following steps:

[0064] Step A1: Obtain the energy storage voltage and current of each energy storage unit in the energy storage MMC;

[0065] Step A3: Calculate the three-phase energy output value based on the following expression:

[0066]

[0067] In the formula, r=p, n, p represents the upper bridge arm, and n represents the lower bridge arm; j=a, b, c; is the energy output value of the j-phase r-bridge arm, N is the total number of energy storage units of the j-phase r-bridge arm, is the energy storage voltage of the kth energy storage unit in the j-phase r-bridge arm, is the energy storage current of the kth energy storage unit in the j-phase r-bridge arm.

[0068] For example, represents the energy output value of the A-phase circuit lower bridge arm, represents the energy storage current of the 3rd energy storage unit in the A-phase circuit lower bridge arm.

[0069] In this example, the three-phase energy output value can include the energy output value of the A-phase upper bridge arm, the energy output value of the A-phase lower bridge arm, the energy output value of the B-phase upper bridge arm, the energy output value of the B-phase lower bridge arm, the energy output value of the C-phase upper bridge arm, and the energy output value of the C-phase lower bridge arm. The present example can accumulate the energy storage power of each energy storage unit of the same bridge arm, so that the three-phase energy output value of the bridge arm can be more accurately determined, and the subsequent double-frequency circulating current suppression effect can be improved.

[0070] S106: Calculate the three-phase fundamental frequency current compensation value according to the AC voltage and the three-phase energy output value.

[0071] The fundamental frequency current compensation value refers to the current value used to compensate for the target fundamental frequency component, and the target fundamental frequency component can be the current fundamental frequency component generated in the bridge arm current due to the imbalance of the energy output. By introducing the fundamental frequency current compensation value, the fundamental frequency deviation in the bridge arm current can be effectively corrected, laying a foundation for the accurate calculation of the subsequent double-frequency circulating current.

[0072] In this step, the base frequency current compensation values of the three phases A, B and C can be calculated according to the AC voltage of the energy storage type MMC and the three-phase energy storage output values by using a preset mathematical expression. This process takes into account the circuit characteristics of the energy storage type MMC and the output state of the energy storage unit, and can ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the base frequency current compensation values.

[0073] It can be understood that the specific calculation formula of the three-phase base frequency circuit compensation value can be set according to the actual situation. In some examples, the three-phase base frequency current compensation value can be calculated based on the following expression:

[0074]

[0075] In the formula, is the phasor form of the j-phase base frequency current compensation value, is the energy storage output value of the upper bridge arm of the j-phase, is the energy storage output value of the lower bridge arm of the j-phase, is the phasor form of the j-phase AC voltage.

[0076] For example, is the phasor form of the A-phase base frequency current compensation value, which can be calculated according to the energy storage output value of the upper bridge arm of the A-phase circuit, the energy storage output value of the lower bridge arm of the A-phase circuit and the A-phase AC voltage of the energy storage type MMC. The calculation process of the B-phase base frequency current compensation value and the C-phase base frequency current compensation value is similar to that of the A-phase base frequency current compensation value.

[0077] By using the above expression for calculation, more accurate three-phase base frequency current compensation values can be obtained, thereby improving the calculation accuracy of the subsequent double-frequency circulating current, and further improving the double-frequency circulating current suppression effect.

[0078] S108: Calculate the three-phase double-frequency circulating current according to the three-phase base frequency current compensation value, the DC current and the bridge arm current, and determine the three-phase double-frequency modulation voltage based on the three-phase double-frequency circulating current.

[0079] The three-phase double-frequency circulating current refers to the current component oscillating at twice the fundamental frequency generated in the bridge arm current due to factors such as unbalanced energy storage output of the upper and lower bridge arms in the energy storage type MMC. The existence of such double-frequency circulating current can cause an increase in bridge arm current stress, affecting the stable operation of the energy storage type MMC, and even damaging the equipment. The three-phase double-frequency modulation voltage can be used to offset the voltage component corresponding to the three-phase double-frequency circulating current.

[0080] In this step, firstly, the three-phase double-frequency circulating current of the energy storage type MMC can be calculated according to the three-phase fundamental frequency current compensation value, the direct current and the bridge arm current by using a specific algorithm or mathematical model. This process takes into account the circuit structure of the energy storage type MMC, the energy storage output state and the dynamic change of the current, ensuring the accuracy of the calculation of the three-phase double-frequency circulating current. After obtaining the three-phase double-frequency circulating current, the three-phase double-frequency modulation voltage for suppressing the double-frequency circulating current can be determined based on the circulating current value through a preset conversion relationship or control strategy.

[0081] It can be understood that the specific calculation formula of the three-phase double-frequency circulating current and the specific calculation formula of the three-phase double-frequency modulation voltage can be determined according to the actual situation. In some examples, in order to obtain more accurate three-phase double-frequency circulating current and further improve the double-frequency circulating current suppression effect, the three-phase double-frequency circulating current can be calculated based on the following expression:

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, is the j-phase double-frequency circulating current, is the bridge arm current of the lower bridge arm of the j-phase, is the bridge arm current of the upper bridge arm of the j-phase, is the j-phase fundamental frequency current compensation value, is the direct current; j = a, b, c.

[0084] In this example, the three-phase double-frequency circulating current can include A-phase double-frequency circulating current, B-phase double-frequency circulating current and C-phase double-frequency circulating current. The A-phase double-frequency circulating current can be calculated according to the bridge arm current of the lower bridge arm of the A-phase circuit, the bridge arm current of the upper bridge arm of the A-phase circuit, the A-phase fundamental frequency current compensation value and the direct current of the energy storage type MMC. Similarly, the B-phase double-frequency circulating current can be calculated according to the bridge arm current of the lower bridge arm of the B-phase circuit, the bridge arm current of the upper bridge arm of the B-phase circuit, the B-phase fundamental frequency current compensation value and the direct current of the energy storage type MMC; the C-phase double-frequency circulating current can be calculated according to the bridge arm current of the lower bridge arm of the C-phase circuit, the bridge arm current of the upper bridge arm of the C-phase circuit, the C-phase fundamental frequency current compensation value and the direct current of the energy storage type MMC.

[0085] In some examples, determining the three-phase double-frequency modulation voltage based on the three-phase double-frequency circulating current can include:

[0086] Step B1: determining a phase reference value;

[0087] Step B3: performing Park transformation on the three-phase double-frequency circulating current according to the phase reference value to obtain a d-axis circulating current component and a q-axis circulating current component;

[0088] Step B5: determining a d-axis voltage component and a q-axis voltage component based on the d-axis circulating current component and the q-axis circulating current component, respectively;

[0089] Step B7: performing a Park inverse transform on the d-axis voltage component and the q-axis voltage component according to the phase reference value to obtain a three-phase double-frequency modulation voltage.

[0090] Specifically, in the process of determining the three-phase double-frequency modulation voltage, the phase reference value of the energy storage type MMC can be determined first. In some examples, when the phase reference value is determined, it can be judged whether the converter adopts a grid-following control strategy, which determines the way of obtaining the phase reference value. If the converter adopts the grid-following control strategy, the phase reference value can be obtained through the phase-locked loop of the energy storage type MMC. If the grid-following control strategy is not adopted, the preset frequency value can be taken as the phase reference value. In this way, a more accurate phase reference value can be obtained to ensure the accuracy of the results obtained by the Park transform and the Park inverse transform, so as to further improve the double-frequency circulating current suppression effect.

[0091] After obtaining the phase reference value, the present application can perform a Park transform on the three-phase double-frequency circulating current on the basis of the phase reference value, convert the double-frequency circulating currents of phases A, B and C to the dq coordinate system, and obtain a d-axis circulating current component and a q-axis circulating current component. In this way, the three-phase alternating current value can be converted into a direct current value that does not change, which facilitates the double-frequency circulating current suppression. In some examples, the present application can perform the Park transform on the basis of the following expression:

[0092]

[0093] In the formula, is the d-axis circulating current component, is the q-axis circulating current component, is the phase reference value, is the double-frequency circulating current of phase A, is the double-frequency circulating current of phase B, and is the double-frequency circulating current of phase C.

[0094] After obtaining the d-axis circulating current component and the q-axis circulating current component, the present application can determine a d-axis voltage component and a q-axis voltage component on the basis of a current loop control strategy. In some examples, in order to quickly adjust and suppress the double-frequency circulating current, eliminate the three-phase double-frequency circulating current of the converter, and avoid overcurrent of the converter to damage the equipment, the present application can calculate the d-axis voltage component and the q-axis voltage component on the basis of the following expressions, respectively:

[0095]

[0096] In the formula, is the d-axis voltage component, is the q-axis voltage component, and L is the bridge arm inductance value of the energy storage type MMC, is the actual frequency value of the alternating voltage, is the d-axis circulating current component, is the q-axis circulating current component, a proportional parameter of the current controller, an integral parameter of the current controller, s is a Laplace operator.

[0097] Since the control signal ultimately required by the energy storage type MMC is the modulated voltage in the abc stationary coordinate system, after obtaining the modulated voltage component in the dq coordinate system, the application can convert the modulated voltage from the dq coordinate system to the abc coordinate system through the Park inverse transformation, and obtain the corresponding three-phase double-frequency modulated voltage in the abc coordinate system. In some examples, the three-phase double-frequency modulated voltage includes an A-phase double-frequency modulated voltage, a B-phase double-frequency modulated voltage and a C-phase double-frequency modulated voltage, and the application can perform the Park inverse transformation based on the following expression:

[0098]

[0099] In the formula, is the A-phase double-frequency modulated voltage, is the B-phase double-frequency modulated voltage, is the C-phase double-frequency modulated voltage.

[0100] S110: superimpose the three-phase double-frequency modulated voltage into the three-phase modulated voltage of the energy storage type MMC.

[0101] In this step, the three-phase double-frequency modulated voltage can be added to the three-phase modulated voltage of the energy storage type MMC. That is, the final modulated voltage of the j phase is:

[0102]

[0103] In the formula, is the final modulated voltage of the j phase, is the j-phase modulated voltage generated by the energy storage type MMC without using the suppression method described in the application.

[0104] In this way, the double-frequency circulating current suppression function can be added to the energy storage type MMC, thereby achieving rapid suppression of the double-frequency circulating current when the energy storage output is unbalanced.

[0105] In the present application, the three-phase fundamental current compensation values can be calculated according to the three-phase energy output values of each bridge arm in the energy storage type MMC, and the three-phase double-frequency circulating currents in the energy storage type MMC are determined accordingly. The present application takes the three-phase double-frequency circulating currents as the control rate for realizing double-frequency circulating current suppression, determines the three-phase double-frequency modulation voltage, and superimposes the three-phase double-frequency modulation voltage into the three-phase modulation voltage of the energy storage type MMC. In this way, the additional three-phase double-frequency modulation voltage can be used to offset the double-frequency circulating current excitation source caused by the energy output imbalance in the energy storage type MMC, so as to realize double-frequency circulating current suppression control of the energy storage type MMC. As can be seen, the present application can quickly and effectively reduce the second harmonic content of the bridge arm current in the converter under the condition of energy output imbalance of the upper and lower bridge arms of the energy storage type MMC, and reduce the bridge arm current stress, so as to improve the stability of the energy storage type MMC under the condition of energy output imbalance, and avoid overcurrent in the converter to damage the equipment. Compared with the existing double-frequency circulating current suppression strategy, the present application can be applied to the energy storage type MMC with energy output imbalance, has a wider application scenario, and has a more perfect double-frequency circulating current suppression function.
