Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of power electronics, in particular to a circulating current suppression method and device for an H-bridge MMC valve test device and a medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the core equipment of flexible DC power transmission, the modular multilevel converter valve (hereinafter referred to as MMC valve) usually contains thousands of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT). Since IGBT is sensitive to key electrical stresses such as temperature, voltage, current and its rate of change, and is vulnerable under repeated high-voltage and high-current conditions, it is necessary to conduct operation test on large-capacity MMC valves before design and delivery to verify their reliability. Since direct testing on the entire converter valve will increase the cost, it is necessary to use equivalent operation test topology to reproduce the valve voltage, current and switching stress in actual engineering under limited power supply capacity. The common MMC operation test topology at present includes three-phase back-to-back structure, single-phase back-to-back structure, half-bridge counter structure and H-bridge structure, etc.

[0003] Affected by the capacitor voltage fluctuation and the modulation method, there is a double-frequency circulating current in the equivalent operation test topology. The double-frequency circulating current will increase the bridge arm current, increase the additional loss, and even affect the normal operation of the equivalent operation test. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a double-frequency suppression method for the MMC equivalent operation test topology.

[0004] For a two-phase four-bridge-arm structure, the H-bridge MMC valve equivalent operation test topology with the two-phase bridge arm midpoint connected through the load inductance can better reproduce the AC / DC operating stress of the engineering MMC valve under limited power supply capacity, but it will still produce obvious double-frequency circulating current during operation test. If there is no effective suppression measure, it will lead to test loop current distortion, increase of sub-module capacitor voltage fluctuation and increase of device loss, thereby affecting the stability and stress equivalence of the valve operation test.

[0005] In view of this problem, the prior art has proposed various control strategies, for example, Chinese patent CN117638842A discloses a proportional integral control in the dq coordinate system and a feedforward decoupling compensation method; for example, Chinese patent CN110011554A discloses using a notch filter to extract the double-frequency component of the circulating current, and then injecting a compensation voltage through proportional resonance control; introducing a virtual impedance in front of the bridge arm inductance to improve the damping of the circulating current loop to weaken the circulating current oscillation and part of the low-frequency component, etc.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned prior art is mostly for specific valve segment test loop topology structure, such as three-phase back-to-back structure and half-bridge counter structure, etc. For the H-bridge MMC valve test device with different structure and power flow direction from the above-mentioned topology, its applicability and control effect are still limited.

[0007] The H-bridge MMC valve test device adopts a two-phase four-bridge-arm structure, the two-phase bridge-arm midpoints are connected through a load reactor, and the upper and lower bridge arms are connected in parallel with a DC power supply and a smoothing reactor at both ends. This topology aims to reproduce the AC / DC operating stress of the engineering MMC valve under small power supply capacity, but its symmetrical structure and power flow are fundamentally different from the common three-phase back-to-back or half-bridge pair topology. This hardware configuration leads to the generation mechanism and control requirements of circulating current, especially the generation mechanism and control requirements of the second-order circulating current, which are different from other topologies. The existing method cannot be optimized for this structure, so the effect is limited.

[0008] The proportional-integral control and feedforward decoupling compensation method is usually implemented in the dq coordinate system. The circulating current is adjusted by proportional-integral (PI) control, and the AC and DC components are decoupled by feedforward compensation. This method is suitable for three-phase systems where current components can be decoupled by Park transformation. However, the H-bridge type is a two-phase system, not a three-phase system. The dq transformation and decoupling strategy is based on the three-phase balance assumption, but the power flow of the two-phase structure is not symmetrical. The feedforward compensation cannot effectively handle the coupling between the two phases, resulting in incomplete decoupling and reduced circulating current suppression accuracy. In addition, in the H-bridge type test device, the sub-module switching frequency and control system delay will affect the circulating current dynamics. The existing PI control lacks gain at the second harmonic and lacks phase compensation, which cannot respond to circulating current changes in time, exacerbating current distortion. Finally, the H-bridge type topology needs to maintain the equivalence of test voltage, current, and engineering working conditions. However, the static error and decoupling error of PI control may introduce additional harmonics, increasing the sub-module capacitor voltage fluctuation, which violates the equivalence principle.

[0009] In the notch filter extraction + proportional-resonant control combined with virtual impedance method, a notch filter is used to extract the second-order circulating current component, and a proportional-resonant (PR) controller is used to inject a compensation voltage. Virtual impedance is used to improve the damping of the circulating current loop and suppress oscillation. However, the circulating current of the H-bridge type is mainly concentrated at the second harmonic, but the notch filter is usually designed with a fixed frequency passband. The frequency of the circulating current of the H-bridge type may shift due to operating conditions, and the second-order filter needs to have an adjustable passband near the second harmonic. However, the existing notch filter usually has a fixed bandwidth and cannot adapt to the frequency changes of the H-bridge type, resulting in noise or missing frequencies in the extracted components. In addition, the virtual impedance method weakens oscillation by increasing loop damping, but the circulating current path of the H-bridge type passes through the load reactor and bridge arm inductance, and its impedance characteristics are different from those of a three-phase system. The existing virtual impedance value may not consider the shift of the resonance point caused by the connection of the two-phase midpoints, and may instead introduce low-frequency oscillation. Finally, the H-bridge type needs to decouple the circulating current suppression from the DC and fundamental frequency current control. However, in the existing method, the PR controller and virtual impedance may interfere with other control loops, disrupting symmetry. For example, if the compensation voltage is not evenly added to the four bridge arms, it will exacerbate asymmetric operation. SUMMARY

[0010] The purpose of this invention is to provide a circulating current suppression method, device, and medium for H-bridge type MMC valve testing equipment. Without changing the test topology of H-bridge type MMC valve, it achieves effective suppression of second harmonic circulating current, reduces submodule capacitor voltage fluctuations and valve test current distortion, has a simple control structure, and can maintain good test stress equivalence in multi-condition valve operation tests.

[0018] Each arm of the H-bridge type MMC valve includes multiple series-connected half-bridge sub-modules and arm reactors. Each half-bridge module includes two IGBTs connected in series, each IGBT is connected in anti-parallel with a freewheeling diode, and each half-bridge module is connected in parallel with a capacitor.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Only the upper and lower arm currents of any one phase need to be sampled. The second-order filter is used to extract the twice grid frequency component and calculate the arithmetic mean to obtain the second-order frequency circulating current detection value.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. These embodiments are based on the technical solution of the present invention and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0028] Example 1 A circulating current suppression method for an H-bridge type MMC valve test device is proposed. By using a reasonable current sampling and second harmonic component extraction method, combined with a proportional resonance control strategy that can compensate for phase angle lag, the second harmonic circulating current in the test circuit is effectively suppressed without changing the existing equivalent operating test topology. This reduces the voltage fluctuation of the submodule capacitor and the distortion of the valve test current, thereby improving the stability and stress equivalence of the valve operation test.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, it includes: Step S1: Obtain the second harmonic circulating current detection value; Test apparatus such as Figure 1 As shown, a two-phase four-arm H-bridge type MMC valve operation test topology is adopted. The midpoints of the two phase arms are connected through a load reactor, and DC power supply and smoothing reactor are connected in parallel at both ends of the upper and lower arms to equivalently reproduce the AC and DC operating stress of the engineering MMC valve with a smaller power supply capacity. Figure 1 middle, This is the DC power supply voltage. For bridge arm inductance, For load inductance, This refers to the current in the upper arm of phase A. This refers to the current in the lower arm of phase A. This refers to the current in the upper arm of phase B. This refers to the current in the lower arm of phase B. The AC voltage is output at the midpoint of the bridge arm of phase A. The AC voltage is output at the midpoint of the bridge arm of phase B unit.

[0030] A schematic diagram of the structure of a single bridge arm and half-bridge module of an H-bridge type MMC valve is shown below. Figure 2 As shown. Each bridge arm consists of several half-bridge sub-modules connected in series with a bridge arm inductor. Each half-bridge module includes two sets of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) connected in series, an anti-parallel freewheeling diode, and a capacitor. Figure 2 middle, It is a half-bridge sub-module. For bridge arm inductance, For IGBT, For the next IGBT, It is an anti-parallel freewheeling diode. It is a lower anti-parallel freewheeling diode. For submodule capacitors.

[0031] Step S1 includes: Step S1-1: During the equivalent operation test of the H-bridge MMC, sample the upper arm current and lower arm current of any phase; Step S1-2: Input the sampled upper arm current and lower arm current into the corresponding second-order filters respectively to obtain the double grid frequency current components of the upper and lower arms respectively. The second-order filter is configured to have passband characteristics near the second harmonic grid frequency to suppress frequency components other than the second harmonic grid frequency component, thereby improving the accuracy of the second harmonic circulating current detection value. Preferably, a digital second-order IIR filter is implemented in the controller, and the bandwidth is tuned according to factors such as the second harmonic circulating current frequency offset and control delay, to ensure sufficient passage of the second harmonic component while suppressing other frequency components. In this embodiment, the center frequency of the second-order filter is selected as [missing information]. The quality factor is selected as Bandwidth selection is .

[0032] Step S1-3: Calculate the arithmetic mean of the double-frequency current components of the upper and lower bridge arms to obtain the double-frequency circulating current detection value: in: This is the second harmonic circulating current detection value. The current component of the upper bridge arm is twice the grid frequency. The current component is twice the grid frequency of the lower bridge arm.

[0033] Step S2: Compare the second harmonic circulating current detection value with the pre-configured reference value to obtain the second harmonic circulating current error signal. Input the second harmonic circulating current error signal into the proportional resonant controller to provide resonant gain at twice the grid frequency and output the second harmonic compensation voltage command. The pre-configured reference value is set to 0, so that the second harmonic circulating current detection value approaches zero under steady state, thereby suppressing the second harmonic grid frequency circulating current in the test circuit.

[0034] Transfer function of proportional resonant controller for: in: This is the proportionality coefficient. The resonance coefficient, s For the Laplace operator, For phase compensation angle, The frequency of the second harmonic circulating current detection value. In this embodiment, the scaling factor is selected as [value missing]. The resonance coefficient is chosen as The frequency of the second harmonic circulating current detection value is selected as follows: The phase compensation angle is selected as .

[0035] The proportional resonant controller includes a proportional element and a resonant element, and is equipped with a phase lead compensation element. The phase lead compensation element provides a phase lead of approximately 90° at twice the grid frequency to compensate for the phase lag introduced by the resonant controller.

[0036] The double-frequency compensation voltage command is: in: This is a frequency-doubled compensation voltage command. This is the second harmonic circulating current error signal.

[0037] Step S3: The double-frequency compensation voltage command is superimposed on the reference modulation wave of the four bridge arms of the two phases to generate the corrected bridge arm modulation wave, which in turn generates the trigger pulse signal of each sub-module of the bridge arm.

[0038] Each arm of the H-bridge type MMC valve includes multiple series-connected half-bridge sub-modules and arm reactors. Each half-bridge module includes two IGBTs connected in series, each IGBT is connected in anti-parallel with a freewheeling diode, and each half-bridge module is connected in parallel with a capacitor.

[0039] To maintain symmetrical operation of the H-bridge MMC valve test setup, the second-harmonic compensation voltage command is evenly superimposed onto the modulation waves of the upper and lower bridge arms of both phases. The corrected bridge arm modulation waves are used to generate trigger signals for each half-bridge submodule, thereby adjusting the output level of each bridge arm.

[0040] The block diagram of the circulation suppression control system is as follows: Figure 4 As shown: First, the current of any one phase upper and lower bridge arm is sampled, and the second harmonic circulating current detection value is obtained through a second-order filter and arithmetic average operation; then, the second harmonic circulating current detection value is input into the proportional resonant controller to calculate the second harmonic compensation voltage command; finally, the second harmonic compensation voltage command is superimposed on the modulation wave of the four bridge arms of the two phases, and the second harmonic circulating current is suppressed by the sub-module drive.

[0041] The process of generating the reference modulation wave includes: Step A-1: ​​Collect the DC current and fundamental frequency current of the test circuit; Step A-2: Decouple the DC current and the fundamental frequency current: in: It is direct current. This represents the effective value of the fundamental frequency AC voltage output by phase A. This represents the effective value of the base frequency AC voltage output by phase B. This is the DC power supply voltage. It is the power frequency angular frequency. For loop inductance, The initial phase angle, This is the fundamental frequency current; Step A-3: Define the first variable η and the second variable λ: Step A-4: Generate the relationship between the first variable η and the second variable λ and the initial phase angle and modulation ratio: in: m The modulation ratio; Step A-5: Using a proportional-integral controller, with the DC current setpoint and the fundamental frequency current setpoint of the test circuit as targets, dynamically adjust the first variable η and the second variable λ, and output the initial phase angle and modulation ratio; Step A-6: Substitute the effective values ​​of the fundamental frequency AC voltage outputs of phase A and phase B into the reference modulation wave formula to generate a continuous waveform as the reference modulation wave: in: This is the reference modulation wave for phase A. t is the reference modulation wave for phase B, and t is time.

[0042] The principle behind the above process is as follows: During the valve operation test, a DC and fundamental frequency current closed-loop control strategy based on mathematical transformation decoupling was adopted. Specifically, when the test circuit is running normally, the AC output voltage at the midpoint of the two-phase unit bridge arm is...

[0043] (9) Quantities with superscripts are reference values, while those without superscripts are actual values. , , , All are constants. (Obtained) and Afterwards, according to The effective value of the two-phase output base frequency AC voltage can be obtained, and a reference modulation wave is generated by equation (2). The second harmonic compensation voltage command is superimposed on the reference modulation wave as an additional quantity. The second harmonic circulating current suppression control and the operating test current control are decoupled from each other, so as to maintain the equivalence of the test voltage, current and switching stress with the engineering working conditions while realizing the second harmonic circulating current suppression.

[0047] The second-harmonic circulating current suppression strategy is set to activate at the 3rd second. A schematic diagram showing the changes in the second-harmonic current component waveform before and after implementing circulating current suppression is shown below. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, after the circulating current suppression strategy is activated, the amplitude of the second harmonic current component quickly drops from about 0.8kA to almost 0, verifying the effectiveness of the circulating current suppression method of the H-bridge type MMC valve test device of this invention.
