Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of DC power transmission technology, and in particular to a commutation margin hybrid compensation system, method, apparatus and related equipment. Background Technology
[0002] High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology has been widely used in global power grids due to its unique advantages in large-capacity, long-distance power transmission. Among these technologies, grid-commutated converters based on semi-controlled thyristor devices are mature, have large capacity, and relatively low cost, making them the mainstream solution for current engineering applications. However, this technology has several inherent drawbacks:
[0003] Conventional high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems, employing semi-controlled thyristor devices and line-commutated converters (LCCs), are prone to commutation failures when the DC inverter station is connected to a weak AC system. Furthermore, the system generates significant harmonics and consumes approximately 40%-60% of the DC power as reactive power, requiring reactive power compensation and filtering devices at the AC bus. This necessitates a large footprint, increases the capacity requirements of the converter transformer, and deteriorates its electromagnetic operating environment. When AC system voltage fluctuates or DC system operating conditions change, frequent switching of converter transformer tap positions and activation / deactivation of reactive power compensation devices are necessary to meet the DC system's voltage and reactive power demands. HVDC transmission systems using capacitor-commutated converters (CCCs) can effectively reduce commutation failure rates and reactive power consumption by increasing the actual turn-off angle and decreasing the apparent turn-off angle. However, CCCs are susceptible to fault overvoltages and degraded recovery performance during asymmetrical AC system faults, limiting their practical application. In HVDC transmission systems employing absorption and shunt capacitor commutated converters (ASCCs), the parallel capacitors can replace conventional grid-side filters and reactive power compensation devices, improving commutation and reducing the capacity of the converter transformer. However, ASCCCs suffer from difficulties in grouping, inflexible reactive power adjustment, slow response speed, and reactive power compensation capability easily affected by AC voltage. Furthermore, due to commutation voltage distortion, the actual extinction angle is smaller than the apparent extinction angle, making it difficult to set the constant extinction angle control in the DC system. High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems employing self-adaptive commutated converters (SLCCs) connect a static var generator and filter (SVF) converter chain in parallel on the valve side of the converter transformer. This allows for simultaneous full compensation of reactive power and harmonics, and provides voltage support during AC system faults, thus improving the DC system's ability to withstand commutation failures. However, SLCCs require large-capacity active devices with capacities approaching those of the eliminated grid-side AC filters and reactive power compensation devices. Furthermore, they need to operate at higher switching frequencies to compensate for higher harmonics, which not only increases the number of converter chain sub-modules and active power losses but also increases control complexity. Moreover, the higher harmonics generated near the switching frequency cannot be eliminated.
[0004] In summary, existing technical solutions all have their own significant limitations, such as suppressing commutation failure, reactive power compensation and harmonic suppression, or difficulty in balancing cost and control complexity. They have not yet provided a comprehensive solution that can simultaneously and effectively improve commutation reliability, achieve flexible and accurate reactive power and harmonic compensation, and simplify the configuration of equipment in the station without significantly increasing system complexity and cost. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Through voltage inner loop control, a voltage deviation signal is generated based on the grid-side AC bus voltage, the given voltage value, the voltage compensation signal, and an operating point deviation voltage generated based on the effective value of the output current of the current source converter. The voltage deviation signal is then adjusted to generate the q-axis command current of the current source converter.
[0027] In one possible implementation, the fifth harmonic modulation signal of the current source converter is generated by controlling the actual arc extinction angle and the fifth harmonic current feedforward control, including:
[0028] The minimum actual arc extinction angle of the 12-pulse converter bridge is detected, and the minimum actual arc extinction angle is compared with the given value of the actual arc extinction angle.

[0032] The synthesized modulated signal is compared with the triangular carrier signal to generate a binary logic switching function;
[0033] The binary logic switching function is input into the ternary logic generator, and combined with the zero-state value discrimination logic, the switching signals of each bridge arm of the current source converter are generated.
[0034] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a commutation margin hybrid compensation device, the device comprising:
[0035] The first generation module is used to generate the firing angle of the 12-pulse converter bridge based on the feedback of the grid-side AC bus voltage and DC current, and through the coordination of constant arc extinction angle control and constant current control, so as to control the DC power transmission.

[0041] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in some embodiments of this application include at least the following: By using a hybrid compensation device composed of a passive parallel capacitor bank and an active current source converter (CSC), coordinated compensation is performed on the valve side of the converter transformer, effectively increasing the commutation margin of the thyristor valve and significantly reducing the probability of commutation failure at the inverter station. This hybrid compensation architecture allows the parallel capacitors to undertake the majority of steady-state reactive power compensation and high-order harmonic filtering tasks, thereby significantly reducing the steady-state operating capacity and overall cost of the active device (CSC), overcoming the disadvantages of high cost, high loss, and complex control in traditional STATCOM full compensation schemes. Simultaneously, by employing fixed actual arc extinction angle control and valve-side 5th harmonic current feedforward control, the commutation process can be precisely controlled, overcoming the commutation voltage distortion problem. Furthermore, this control is decoupled from the original DC control and protection system, avoiding power fluctuations. Furthermore, the adopted reactive power-voltage dual-loop control strategy ensures rapid transient voltage support while achieving flexible and precise steady-state reactive power adjustment. This enables the converter station to operate at unity power factor and meet harmonic standards without installing traditional AC filters and reactive power compensation capacitor banks. Ultimately, this achieves a comprehensive effect of simplifying converter station equipment configuration, reducing footprint, lowering converter transformer capacity, improving electromagnetic operating environment, and reducing equipment operating frequency.

[0055] As mentioned earlier, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology plays an indispensable role in modern power grids as a key means of achieving long-distance, high-capacity power transmission. Among them, grid-commutated converters (LCCs) based on semi-controlled thyristor devices have constituted the absolute mainstream of HVDC projects for decades due to their mature technology, high capacity, and relatively controllable cost. However, with the development of power systems, especially when the DC endpoint is located in a structurally weak receiving-end AC grid (i.e., a "weak AC system"), a series of inherent defects of conventional LCC-HVDC technology have become increasingly prominent, severely restricting its operational performance and reliability.
[0056] The main problems with conventional LCC-HVDC systems can be summarized as follows:
[0057] 1. High risk of commutation failure: The thyristor valve commutation of the LCC inverter station relies on the reverse voltage provided by the connected AC system. When connected to a weak AC system, the system voltage amplitude is unstable and prone to distortion. Furthermore, the voltage support capability is insufficient when subjected to AC-side disturbances (such as short-circuit faults), which can easily lead to the inability to complete the commutation process, i.e., "commutation failure". This is one of the most significant faults threatening the safe operation of the DC system, potentially causing DC power transmission interruption and impacting the power grids on both sides.
[0058] 2. Severe Reactive Power Consumption and Harmonic Pollution: LCC converters themselves do not generate reactive power during operation; instead, they consume a significant amount of reactive power, typically reaching 40% to 60% of the transmitted DC power. Simultaneously, their switching operations generate abundant characteristic subharmonics (such as the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonics). To compensate for reactive power and filter harmonics, large AC filter banks and reactive power compensation capacitors must be centrally installed on the AC bus side of the converter station. This auxiliary facility not only occupies a huge area (often referred to as a "filter field"), significantly increasing land costs and the complexity of equipment within the station, but also forces the converter transformer's design capacity to cover this reactive power exchange, increasing transformer size and cost, and worsening the electromagnetic environment during operation, leading to increased vibration and noise.
[0059] 3. Frequent and cumbersome operation and adjustment: When AC system voltage fluctuates or DC transmission power changes, the system's reactive power demand also changes. To maintain voltage stability and reactive power balance, the traditional solution is to frequently switch reactive power compensation capacitor banks (mechanical switching operation) and adjust the converter transformer taps (mechanical tap switching). These operations have slow response speeds, are prone to wear and tear on mechanical parts, increase the maintenance burden and failure risk, and cannot achieve smooth, continuous, and precise adjustment.
[0060] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, existing technologies have explored various improved converter topologies, but each introduces new problems: Series Capacitor Commutated Converter (CCC): This type of converter increases the commutation voltage by connecting capacitors in series on the valve side of the converter transformer, thereby increasing the actual turn-off angle and reducing the probability of commutation failure and reactive power consumption. However, in the event of an asymmetrical fault in the AC system, a dangerous overvoltage can occur on the series capacitor in a CCC, and the system recovery characteristics after fault clearance are poor, limiting its engineering application. Assimilated and Parallel Capacitor Commutated Converter (ASCCC): This type of converter uses parallel capacitors on the valve side to replace part of the grid-side filtering and compensation devices, which helps improve commutation and reduce transformer capacity requirements. However, its reactive power compensation capacity is basically fixed and cannot be flexibly and precisely adjusted according to system needs; the response speed is slow, and the compensation effect is greatly affected by the AC voltage amplitude. More importantly, the distortion of the commutation voltage causes the actual arc-extinguishing angle to be smaller than the measured apparent arc-extinguishing angle, making the tuning of DC control systems that rely on the apparent arc-extinguishing angle difficult and posing potential operational risks. Multi-Source Adaptive Commutation Converter (SLCC): This is a more aggressive approach, attempting to achieve "full compensation" for reactive power and harmonics by connecting a static var generator (SVF) converter chain composed of large-capacity, fully controlled devices in parallel on the valve side of the converter transformer. While it effectively supports voltage and improves immunity to commutation failure, it comes at a very high cost: the capacity of the SVF converter chain needs to be close to that of the eliminated AC filter field, leading to a sharp increase in the cost of active devices, system active power losses, and control complexity. To effectively compensate for higher harmonics, its switching frequency needs to be set relatively high, which increases the number of sub-modules and generates harmonics near the switching frequency that are difficult to eliminate.
[0061] In view of this, this application provides a hybrid commutation margin compensation system, method, apparatus, and related equipment. The aim is to achieve coordinated compensation at the converter transformer valve side using a hybrid compensation device composed of a passive parallel capacitor bank and an active current source converter (CSC), effectively increasing the commutation margin of the thyristor valve and significantly reducing the probability of commutation failure at the inverter station. This hybrid compensation architecture allows the parallel capacitors to undertake the majority of steady-state reactive power compensation and high-order harmonic filtering tasks, thereby significantly reducing the steady-state operating capacity and overall cost of the active device (CSC), overcoming the disadvantages of high cost, high losses, and complex control in traditional STATCOM full compensation schemes. Simultaneously, by employing fixed actual arc extinction angle control and valve-side 5th harmonic current feedforward control, the commutation process can be precisely controlled, overcoming commutation voltage distortion problems. Furthermore, this control is decoupled from the original DC control and protection system, avoiding power fluctuations. Furthermore, the reactive power-voltage dual-loop control strategy adopted ensures rapid support of transient voltage while achieving flexible and precise adjustment of steady-state reactive power. This enables the converter station to achieve unity power factor operation and meet harmonic standards without installing traditional AC filters and reactive power compensation capacitor banks.

The parallel capacitor bank and the current source converter are both connected in parallel to the valve-side AC bus. The parallel capacitor bank is configured to provide reactive power compensation to the 12-pulse converter bridge 110 and filter out high-order harmonics. The current source converter is configured to increase the actual arc extinction angle of the 12-pulse converter bridge by outputting a preset harmonic current.
[0063] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is an exemplary schematic diagram of a current source converter provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the current source converter (CSC) uses a large inductor as an energy storage element on the DC side. This inductor is key to its designation as a "current source," maintaining the stability and smoothness of the DC-side current, allowing the AC-side output current to be directly controlled by the switching state. In this embodiment, the current source converter adopts a three-phase half-bridge structure, including three-phase bridge arms and an energy storage inductor. The AC side of the current source converter is connected to the valve-side AC bus. The positive terminal of the DC side of the current source converter is connected to one end of the energy storage inductor, and the negative terminal of the DC side is connected to the other end of the energy storage inductor. Each phase's upper and lower bridge arms of the current source converter consist of multiple multi-chip packaged IGBT modules and a diode connected in series. Each module uses a multi-chip packaged IGBT device with a rated voltage greater than or equal to 4500V and a rated current greater than or equal to 500A. In one possible implementation, the converter transformer includes: a Y / y type converter transformer, the grid-side winding of which is connected to the grid-side AC bus, and the valve-side winding of which is connected to the high-voltage pole 6-pulse converter bridge; and a Y / Δ type converter transformer, the grid-side winding of which is connected to the grid-side AC bus, and the valve-side winding of which is connected to the low-voltage pole 6-pulse converter bridge; the commutation margin hybrid compensation device includes: a high-voltage pole commutation margin hybrid compensation device connected between the high-voltage pole 6-pulse converter bridge and the Y / y type converter transformer; and a low-voltage pole commutation margin hybrid compensation device connected between the low-voltage pole 6-pulse converter bridge and the Y / Δ type converter transformer.
[0064] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 A commutation margin hybrid compensation circuit diagram is provided for an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the overall structure is a bipolar 12-pulse high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system, comprising two converter units: a high-voltage unit and a low-voltage unit. The DC system consists of a high-voltage unit and a low-voltage unit, with a DC current i. d Flow through smoothing reactor L d The converter bridge structure includes a high-voltage 6-pulse converter bridge and a low-voltage 6-pulse converter bridge. The AC side of the converter bridge is connected to the valve-side winding of the converter transformer via the valve-side AC bus. The DC sides of the converter bridges are connected in series and connected to the smoothing reactor L. dIt is connected to DC transmission lines. The hybrid compensation device structure, at the high-voltage pole, connects the high-voltage pole converter bridge to the valve side of its corresponding converter transformer, including: parallel capacitor bank C (passive part) and current source converter CSC (active part). At the low-voltage pole, the hybrid compensation device connects the low-voltage pole converter bridge to the valve side of its corresponding converter transformer, including: parallel capacitor bank C (passive part) and current source converter CSC (active part). The parallel capacitor bank and current source converter (CSC) of each pole are connected in parallel to the valve side AC bus of that pole. Regarding the AC system, the grid-side winding of the converter transformer is connected to the grid-side AC bus (marked as B in the diagram). P The grid-side AC bus passes through the system's equivalent impedance Z. s Connected to the AC system. The parallel capacitors in the commutation margin hybrid compensation device filter out characteristic harmonics above the 11th order generated by the 6-pulse converter bridge, filter out switching harmonics generated by the current source converter, compensate for the reactive power consumed by the 6-pulse converter bridge, reduce the commutation angle, accelerate the commutation speed, and increase the commutation margin. The current source converter in the commutation margin hybrid compensation device controls the 5th harmonic current flowing into the converter transformer, increases the actual arc-extinguishing angle of the 6-pulse converter bridge, and increases the commutation margin. When an AC system fault occurs, the current source converter dynamically supports the AC bus voltage of the converter station.
[0065] This application provides a hybrid commutation margin compensation system. By implementing coordinated control in a hybrid compensation architecture consisting of an active current source converter (CSC) and a passive parallel capacitor, the system commutation margin can be significantly increased, the risk of commutation failure can be effectively reduced, and the reactive power and characteristic harmonics (especially the 5th harmonic) generated by the converter station can be accurately compensated locally. This eliminates the need for traditional bulky AC filters and reactive power compensation devices. Ultimately, while improving system reliability and flexibility, the system significantly reduces the converter station's footprint, lowers equipment capacity requirements and operating losses, achieving a balance between economy and reliability.
[0066] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a commutation margin hybrid compensation method provided in an embodiment of this application. The execution entity in this embodiment can be an electronic device performing commutation margin hybrid compensation, a processor within the electronic device performing the commutation margin hybrid compensation method, or a commutation margin hybrid compensation service within the electronic device performing the commutation margin hybrid compensation method. For ease of description, the following uses a processor within an electronic device as an example to illustrate the specific execution process of the commutation margin hybrid compensation method.
[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, the commutation margin hybrid compensation method may include at least:
[0068] S401. Based on the feedback of the grid-side AC bus voltage and DC current, the firing angle of the 12-pulse converter bridge is generated through the coordination of fixed-view arc extinction angle control and constant current control to control DC power transmission.
[0069] Specifically, to ensure the 12-pulse converter bridge maintains stable DC power transmission while guaranteeing its safe operation and preventing commutation failure, the system first calculates the current apparent arc extinction angle by real-time monitoring of the grid-side AC bus voltage waveform. and compare it with a given security reference value. A comparison is made; simultaneously, the system continuously monitors the actual current I of the DC line. d and compare it with the command value I of the DC current. dref The two deviation signals are compared. They are then processed by independent PI controllers: the apparent arc-extinguishing angle deviation is processed by the PI controller to generate a trigger lead angle β used to maintain commutation margin. γ The DC current deviation is processed by a PI converter to generate a trigger lead angle β for stabilizing power transmission. i To ensure the system always operates under safer conditions, the control system will calculate β in real time. γ With β i The parameters are compared, and the larger value is automatically selected as the final trigger lead angle command. A larger trigger lead angle means earlier thyristor triggering, thus allowing more time for the commutation process. Finally, this selected trigger lead angle command is inverted by 180°, converted into the final trigger angle α, and sent to the thyristor gate drive circuit, thereby achieving precise control of DC power and active protection during the commutation process.

Figure 5 As shown, the voltage waveform u Pcb The curve u represents the grid-side AC bus voltage. Ccb0 The diagram illustrates the commutation voltage waveform when only the parallel capacitor bank is engaged, a condition similar to the ASCCC scheme. Under this condition, the engagement of the parallel capacitor provides reactive power and raises the valve-side voltage, significantly accelerating the commutation speed and reducing the commutation angle μ. Therefore, at the same firing angle α, its apparent extinction angle γ is [not specified]. app Compared to conventional LCC systems, it is larger, thus reducing the risk of commutation failure. However, the key improvement of this invention lies in the active control of the 5th harmonic current through a current source converter (CSC), thereby further optimizing the commutation process. (Curve u) Ccb1This diagram illustrates the commutation voltage waveform after CSC fully compensates for the 5th harmonic current generated by the 6-pulse converter bridge, with the addition of a parallel capacitor.

This control strategy can correct the commutation voltage u to a greater extent.

Based on the grid-side AC bus voltage and the reactive power exchanged between the converter station and the AC system, a fundamental modulation signal for the current source converter is generated through reactive power-voltage dual-loop control to provide dynamic reactive power support and voltage regulation.
[0071] Specifically, to achieve precise support for AC bus voltage and flexible adjustment of system reactive power, this embodiment utilizes the division of labor and cooperation between inner and outer loops to enable the current source converter (CSC) to quickly respond to transient voltage fluctuations and accurately maintain steady-state reactive power balance. It should be noted that the converter station is connected to the AC grid via the point of common coupling (PCC) of the grid-side AC bus and forms a complete DC transmission system with the counterpart converter station via DC transmission lines. Those skilled in the art will understand that "converter station" here refers broadly to power facilities that realize AC / DC power conversion, typically including but not limited to converter transformers, converter valves, control and protection systems, and reactive power compensation and filtering devices; the embodiments in this application do not impose specific limitations. In specific implementation, the system first sets a long-term voltage control target through reactive power outer loop control: continuously detecting the actual reactive power Q exchanged between the converter station and the AC system. m It is then compared to a given power value, typically set to the value Q required to maintain unity power factor operation. ref The obtained reactive power deviation signal is sent to a converter with a proportional coefficient K. Q With a larger integral time constant T Q The integral stage is used for processing, and a voltage compensation signal u is generated through this slow adjustment process. Q This control structure can achieve zero steady-state error tracking of reactive power and avoid u-error caused by sudden changes in reactive power commands. QThis generates a step change. This signal is primarily used to respond to slow changes in system load and to set the reference point for the voltage inner loop. Subsequently, the system achieves a rapid dynamic response through voltage inner loop control: it samples the grid-side AC bus voltage u in real time. m and compare it with the given voltage value u ref and voltage compensation signal u Q The sums are compared, and to improve the adaptability and stability of the control, a value based on the effective value I of the CSC output current is also introduced. G The generated nonlinear operating point deviation voltage Δu, the voltage inner loop generates the voltage deviation signal u using the following formula. error :
[0072]
[0073] In the formula, u ref Given a voltage, Δu is the effective value of the current I according to the current source converter. G The generated operating point deviation voltage, I, is generated when the current source converter compensates for inductive reactive power. G When the current source converter compensates for capacitive reactive power, I is positive. G If negative, by I G The relational expression for generating Δu is:
[0074]
[0075] In the formula, k max λ is the maximum voltage deviation coefficient, tanh is the hyperbolic tangent function, and λ is the voltage-current sensitivity coefficient. error After passing through a PI circuit and being limited, the q-axis command current i of the current source converter is generated. q_ref The d-axis command current i of the current source converter d_ref By detecting the actual current i of the energy storage inductor dc With the energy storage inductor command current i dc_ref The deviation between them is then generated through the PI stage. d_ref and i q_ref The signal is then subtracted from the d-axis and q-axis components of the actual current of the current source converter, and then passed through a PI converter, inverse Parker transform, and lag-shifted by 30° to generate the fundamental modulation signal i of the current source converter. abc1m .
[0076] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 This document provides a schematic diagram of a CSC reactive power-voltage dual-loop control system as an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, in the voltage inner loop control, the system monitors the grid-side AC bus voltage u in real time. mThis serves as the primary feedback signal. The detected signal is processed through an inertial loop to achieve necessary filtering and phase compensation. Simultaneously, the voltage compensation signal u from the reactive power outer loop output... Q It is introduced as part of the voltage inner loop reference value. A key design feature is the introduction of a value related to the RMS output current I of the current source converter (CSC). G The relevant nonlinear function f(u) generates the aforementioned operating point deviation voltage Δu, which dynamically adjusts the controller's sensitivity. Specifically, the actual voltage u... m With a given voltage reference and outer loop compensation u Q The voltage deviation signal, which is a composite reference voltage composed of the nonlinear deviation voltage Δu, is compared with the voltage deviation signal. After precise calculation and amplitude limiting by the PI regulator, the final voltage deviation signal is used to generate the q-axis command current i for controlling the reactive power output of the CSC. q_ref This enables rapid closed-loop regulation of the voltage inner loop, achieving dynamic support for the AC bus voltage.
[0077] S403. Based on the detected actual arc extinction angle of the 12-pulse converter bridge and its 5th harmonic current at the outlet, the 5th harmonic modulation signal of the current source converter is generated through the control of the actual arc extinction angle and the feedforward control of the 5th harmonic current to increase the commutation margin.
[0078] Specifically, in order to actively improve the commutation voltage waveform by precisely controlling the 5th harmonic current output by the current source converter (CSC), thereby effectively increasing the system's actual extinction angle and commutation margin, the system first calculates the minimum actual extinction angle γ of the 12-pulse converter bridge in real time by detecting the zero-crossing point of the valve-side voltage of the converter transformer. real This angle reflects the true safety margin of the commutation process after taking into account the effects of voltage distortion, and will detect γ real Compared with the set actual arc extinction angle safety reference value γ real_ref The difference is compared and fed into a PI controller for calculation, generating a fundamental amplitude I of the 5th harmonic modulation signal used to compensate for the actual arc extinction angle deficiency. 5m To significantly improve the dynamic response speed of the control and provide immediate compensation for major disturbances, the system synchronously detects the 5th harmonic component contained in the output current of the 6-pulse converter bridge and extracts its amplitude I5. This amplitude I5 is then used as a feedforward quantity and directly superimposed on the base amplitude I of the aforementioned PI regulator output. 5m The above factors together constitute the final 5th harmonic modulation signal command amplitude. This feedforward-feedback composite control strategy ensures that when the PI regulator output is zero, the system can fully compensate for the 5th harmonic current generated by the converter bridge, thereby actively eliminating the main harmonic sources that cause voltage distortion and a reduction in the actual arc extinction angle. The final 5th harmonic modulation signal i of the high-voltage current source converter...abc5m The expression is:
[0079]
[0080] In the formula, ω is the fundamental angular frequency, and j2 is the fundamental phase of the output current of the high-voltage electrode 6-pulse converter bridge.
[0081] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram of CSC fixed actual arc extinction angle control and 5th harmonic current feedforward control provided for embodiments of this application is shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the control system first detects the voltage (u) on the valve side of the converter transformer. C,abc By accurately calculating the zero-crossing point of the 12-pulse converter bridge, the minimum actual arc-extinguishing angle γ can be determined. real Compare this measured value with the set safety reference value γ. real_ref The deviation is compared, and after being processed by a PI controller, the fundamental amplitude I of a 5th harmonic modulation signal is output. 5m To achieve rapid compensation for major disturbances, the system simultaneously tracks the output current (i) of the 6-pulse converter bridge via a phase-locked loop (PLL). abc The phase ωt+j2 of the current is calculated, and the amplitude of the 5th harmonic current I5 is extracted through a low-pass filter (LPF). This amplitude I5 is used as a feedforward quantity and is compared with the base amplitude I of the PI controller output. 5m The values are directly added together to form the final 5th harmonic current command amplitude. In the signal generation stage, the system uses the acquired fundamental phase information ωt+j2 to generate unit amplitude sine waves of the three-phase 5th harmonic modulation signals via a sine function generator. These are then multiplied by the command amplitude to finally synthesize the three-phase 5th harmonic modulation signal i. abcm5 The modulated signal is then fed into the SPWM modulation module, compared with the triangular carrier wave, and then converted into the actual drive signal for the power switching device by a ternary logic generator. This controls the CSC to output a compensation current that is opposite in phase and related in amplitude to the inherent 5th harmonic current of the converter bridge, thereby canceling the 5th harmonic flowing into the transformer, correcting the commutation voltage waveform, and ultimately increasing the actual arc extinction angle. In addition, this control loop introduces a blocking control signal ctrl. When the system detects a severe AC fault, the ctrl signal is set to 0, forcibly clearing the amplitude of the 5th harmonic modulation signal output from the aforementioned PI regulator and feedforward path to zero, causing the actual arc extinction angle control to temporarily exit, and the 5th harmonic modulation signal i abcm5 No further output. At this point, the current source converter will be entirely controlled by the fundamental modulation signal i generated by the reactive-voltage dual-loop control. abcm1The drive concentrates all capacity to provide dynamic reactive power to support the rapidly dropping AC bus voltage; this is the highest priority control objective. Under normal conditions where no serious system faults occur, the Ctrl signal is 1, and the actual arc extinction angle control and reactive power-voltage dual-loop control work in coordination.
[0082] S404. The fundamental modulation signal and the harmonic modulation signal are combined to generate the final modulation wave, and the switching signal for driving the current source converter is generated based on the modulation wave.
[0083] Specifically, the system will generate the fundamental modulation signal i from the aforementioned reactive power-voltage dual-loop control. abc1m The 5th harmonic modulation signal i generated by the actual arc extinction angle control abc5m Algebraic addition is performed at the signal level to synthesize a final modulated wave containing both the fundamental frequency and the 5th harmonic. This composite modulated wave is fed into an SPWM modulation module based on triangular carrier comparison. By comparing the modulated wave with a high-frequency triangular carrier in real time, a series of binary logic pulse signals are generated. These pulse signals are then fed into a ternary logic generator, which, according to specific switching combination logic, converts the binary signals into ternary switching functions that define the correct on and off states of each IGBT in the current source converter (CSC). The matrix form of the ternary logic generator is as follows:
[0084]
[0085] In the formula, the binary logic switch function p is 1 when the modulating wave is greater than the carrier wave, and -1 otherwise. The zero-state value discrimination unit includes a modulation signal region judgment module, a ternary logic switch combination judgment module, and a zero-state value judgment module. To ensure the continuity of the DC-side current path at any time and avoid the danger of open circuit, the system also includes a zero-state value discrimination unit. This unit intelligently selects the appropriate zero-state switching mode based on the current modulation region and switch combination state, and finally outputs all bridge arm switch signals to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the CSC, thereby driving the converter to accurately output the required compensation current.
[0086] This embodiment provides a hybrid compensation method for commutation margin. A hybrid compensation device, consisting of a passive parallel capacitor bank and an active current source converter (CSC), performs coordinated compensation at the valve side of the converter transformer, effectively increasing the commutation margin of the thyristor valve and significantly reducing the probability of commutation failure at the inverter station. This hybrid compensation architecture allows the parallel capacitors to undertake the majority of steady-state reactive power compensation and high-order harmonic filtering tasks, thereby significantly reducing the steady-state operating capacity and overall cost of the active device (CSC), overcoming the disadvantages of high cost, high losses, and complex control in traditional STATCOM full compensation schemes. Simultaneously, by employing fixed actual arc extinction angle control and valve-side 5th harmonic current feedforward control, the commutation process can be precisely controlled, overcoming commutation voltage distortion problems. Furthermore, this control is decoupled from the original DC control and protection system, avoiding power fluctuations. Furthermore, the reactive power-voltage dual-loop control strategy adopted ensures rapid support of transient voltage while achieving flexible and precise adjustment of steady-state reactive power. This enables the converter station to achieve unity power factor operation and meet harmonic standards without installing traditional AC filters and reactive power compensation capacitor banks.
