Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic power control, in particular to a calculation method of controllable line-commutated converter (CLCC) harmonics. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of DC power transmission, the traditional line-commutated converter (LCC) has been widely used in China's ultra-high voltage long-distance power transmission projects due to its low loss, large transmission capacity, and long transmission distance. However, during the fault of the receiving end AC system, the LCC is prone to commutation failure due to insufficient commutation voltage, which seriously threatens the safe and stable operation of the power grid. To fundamentally solve the problem of commutation failure, relevant scholars have proposed a controllable line-commutated converter (CLCC) topology structure based on the consideration of engineering feasibility and economy. The controllable line-commutated converter can completely solve the problem of commutation failure and provide reactive power support by increasing the trigger angle during transient operation. However, the increase in the trigger angle also prolongs the arrester action time and induces additional harmonics. To date, there is no relevant literature on the calculation method of CLCC harmonics.

[0003] As a new type of topology, the controllable line-commutated converter is still mostly analyzed using the LCC theory, such as approximating the CLCC characteristics based on the LCC characteristics and analyzing the variation of active power and reactive power with the trigger angle α. However, the harmonic characteristics are not mentioned. Harmonics in power systems can cause equipment failure, power quality degradation, increased line loss, electromagnetic interference, and other negative effects. Given that the controllable line-commutated converter changes the harmonic characteristics of the original LCC, it is necessary to reanalyze the harmonics of the new converter to facilitate the design of AC filters.

[0004] Currently, the analysis of controllable line-commutated converter harmonics does not fully consider the influence of the arrester dynamic process, leading to a lack of theoretical guidance for optimized design of filter parameters. SUMMARY

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present application will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present application.

[0017] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, this application proposes a method for calculating harmonics in a controllable power grid commutator, including: Step S101: Detect the three-phase AC voltage of the controllable grid phase-commutation converter; The schematic diagram of the external topology of the controllable power grid phase-commutator used in this application is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the three-phase AC voltage is , , ; commutation reactance is Alternating current is , , DC voltage is VT1~VT6 correspond to six controllable commutation valves.

[0018] The topology diagram of the controllable power grid phase converter used in this application is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it is divided into a main branch and an auxiliary branch. The main branch is responsible for long-term current carrying, while the auxiliary branch is responsible for active turn-off. During transient periods, after the auxiliary branch's insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is actively turned off, the valve current is transferred to the surge arrester. This is the operating voltage of the surge arrester, used to provide commutation voltage to assist commutation.

[0019] The AC voltage on the valve side is distorted during commutation, which affects subsequent derivation. Therefore, this step selects to detect the three-phase AC voltage. , , .

[0020] Step S102: Based on the three-phase AC voltage, determine whether the controllable grid phase-commutation converter has failed to commutate; If so, proceed to step S103.

[0021] This step determines whether the controllable grid commutator has failed to commutate based on the collected three-phase AC voltage. The specific determination is as follows: First, the three-phase AC voltage is... After coordinate transformation, the three-phase voltages are obtained. Axial components and The transformation process for the axis components is shown in the following equation: (1) In the formula, , These are the three-phase voltages. Axial components and Axial components.

[0022] Furthermore, based on the three-phase voltage Axial components and Shaft components are used to determine the three-phase voltage. Axial components and Component amplitude of axis components As shown in the following formula: (2) Furthermore, based on To determine whether the controllable power grid commutator has failed to commutate, i.e., to obtain the three-phase voltage. Axial components and Composite reference value of axial components (Given manually), synthesize reference values. With composite amplitude Compare, if the synthesized amplitude Less than the synthetic reference value If the condition is not met, it is assumed that a three-phase fault has occurred in the receiving-end AC power grid, and the next step of transient harmonic analysis calculation is performed. If the condition is not met, it is determined that no three-phase fault has occurred at the receiving end, the harmonic optimization control system does not operate, and the firing angle is maintained. Phase angle exchanged with nature .

[0023] Step S103: Calculate the forced commutation angle of the controllable grid commutator; When calculating transient harmonics, the firing angle Phase angle exchanged with nature It is a controllable variable, while the forced commutation angle needs to be calculated. The calculation process is as follows: The commutation overlap angle of a controllable power grid commutator can be classified into natural commutation angle based on whether the surge arrester operates. Forced phase change In parameter design, the natural commutation angle is a preset value; the forced commutation angle needs to be calculated, and this value is mainly related to parameters such as AC line voltage and surge arrester. Given that CLCCs do not have commutation failure issues, the forced commutation angle can be derived based on this characteristic. The parsing expression.

[0024] If no commutation failure occurs, the forced commutation process ends (i.e., When ), the current of the valve should be At this point, obtain the trigger angle. Exchange phase angle with nature Substituting both into the following formula, the forced commutation angle can be calculated. : (3) In the formula, This is the effective value of the valve side line voltage; It is the commutation overlap angle, and .

[0025] Step S104: Calculate the commutation current and commutation DC voltage of the controllable grid commutator at different commutation stages; After calculating the forced commutation angle, the commutation current and commutation DC voltage of the controllable grid commutation converter at different commutation stages are calculated.

[0026] Controllable grid commutated converters exhibit corresponding commutation current and commutation DC voltage characteristics at different commutation stages. The commutation current is divided into two categories: natural commutation current and forced commutation current. Natural commutation current is further subdivided into natural commutation rising current and natural commutation falling current; forced commutation current includes forced commutation rising current and forced commutation falling current. The commutation DC voltage encompasses three types: natural commutation DC voltage, forced commutation DC voltage, and uncommutated DC voltage.

[0027] Forced commutation accelerates current transfer, necessitating the construction of a new analytical model for the valve-side current. During the commutation from valve 5 to valve 1, in the rising phase of natural commutation, the commutation voltage is provided by the line voltages of phases A and C. At this time, the valve VT1 current, i.e., the rising current of natural commutation, is... It can be represented as: (4) In the formula, The frequency of the controllable grid phase-commutation converter; During the forced commutation rising phase, the commutation voltage is provided by the line voltages of phases A and C and the surge arrester voltage. At this time, the forced commutation rising current... It can be represented as: (5) Because the current during commutation is symmetrical, the commutation current from VT1 to VT3 can be directly derived from the rising current from VT5 to VT1. The natural commutation current decreasing at valve VT1... and forced commutation drop current It can be represented as: (6) (7) If the DC voltage of a controllable grid-commutated converter is under metastable conditions... If it is periodic, then its harmonic spectrum does not contain Secondary component.

[0028] During natural commutation, the commutation process of phases A and C causes a voltage drop, at which point the natural commutation DC voltage... The expression is as follows: (8) In the formula, The line voltages of phases a and b can be expressed as: ; The line voltages of phases c and b can be expressed as: ; During the forced commutation phase, the surge arrester operation will raise the DC voltage, at which point the forced commutation DC voltage will increase. It can be represented as: (9) In the non-commutation stage, the non-commutated DC voltage Line voltage can be expressed as: (10) Step S105: Calculate transient harmonics based on the forced commutation angle, the commutation current, and the commutation DC voltage.

[0029] Finally, based on the forced commutation angle, the commutation current, and the commutation DC voltage, the transient harmonics are calculated. The transient harmonics include the amplitude of the transient harmonic current and the amplitude of the transient harmonic voltage. The specific calculation process is as follows: First, perform Fourier series expansion on the commutation current and forced commutation angle segment by segment to obtain the cosine component of the valve-side transient current of the controllable grid commutated converter. and the sinusoidal component of the transient current on the valve side As shown in the following formula: (11) (12) From equations (11) and (12), it can be seen that when the harmonic order n = 6k, Therefore, it does not contain the 6k harmonic, and considering that the valve-side current does not contain the 2k harmonic, the current at this time consists only of the n=6k±1 harmonic. Since the denominator contains an (n-1) term during integration, the cosine component of the fundamental frequency current... With sinusoidal components It must be solved separately, and the result can be given by the following formula: (13) (14) For a system employing a 12-pulse controllable grid-commutated converter, the harmonic order of the valve-side AC current is: .

[0030] Secondly, Fourier series expansions are performed segment by segment on the commutation DC voltage and the forced commutation angle to obtain the transient DC voltage cosine component of the controllable grid commutation converter. With the sinusoidal component of transient DC voltage As shown in the following formula: (15) (16) For the above formula, when hour Therefore, the CLCC DC voltage, after taking forced commutation into account, only contains Secondary harmonics.

[0031] For a 12-pulse converter consisting of a controllable grid-commutated converter, the harmonic order is... .

[0032] Finally, based on the cosine component of the transient current on the valve side and the sinusoidal component of the transient current on the valve side Determine the amplitude of transient harmonic current As shown in the following formula: (17) Based on the cosine component of transient DC voltage With the sinusoidal component of transient DC voltage Determine the amplitude of transient harmonic voltage As shown in the following formula: (18) Simulation Experiment To verify the effectiveness of the method proposed in this application, a receiving-end CLCC model was built based on the PSCAD / EMTDC simulation platform. The effective value of the valve-side line voltage was 168.1kV, the commutation reactance was 4.279Ω, the DC current was 5kA, and the surge arrester voltage was 235kV. Figure 4 Figure (4)a shows a comparison of the simulation and calculation results of harmonics in a controllable grid phase-commutation converter. From Figure (4), it can be seen that the theoretical calculation value of the CLCC valve-side current is basically consistent with the simulation results. Since the DC current remains stable during the simulation, its harmonic spectrum strictly follows the n=6k±1 order characteristic distribution. Figure 4 (b) It can be seen that the commutation inductor has insufficient clamping effect on the AC voltage in the simulation, which leads to the distortion of the secondary voltage during the commutation process, resulting in a small number of non-characteristic harmonics of the n=6k±2th order. However, the theoretical calculation value of the n=6kth order characteristic harmonic in the CLCC DC voltage is still in good agreement with the simulation results, and the harmonic components generated by the distortion can be ignored.

[0033] In summary, the method proposed in this application takes into account the changes in voltage and current during commutation and the impact of the surge arrester's operation, and has higher accuracy than methods based on switching characteristics or traditional LCC characteristics for approximate analysis.
