Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system control, and more specifically, relates to a method for sequential impedance modeling and stability analysis of modular multilevel converters. Background Technology
[0002] Since its inception, the modular multilevel converter (MMC) has become the mainstream converter topology in fields such as flexible DC transmission, renewable energy grid integration, offshore wind power integration, and power electronic grids due to its excellent scalability, redundancy, and high power density. At the grid connection point, if the MMC impedance interacts unfavorably with the grid impedance, broadband oscillations can easily occur. Numerous engineering accidents have shown that the uncertainty of the grid impedance, along with insufficient open-loop gain of the controller and harmonic coupling, can cause control instability, output oscillations, submodule voltage fluctuations, and even system instability in the MMC. The impedance method, due to its clear and explicit physical meaning, is currently the academically recognized method for analyzing broadband oscillation problems and has been applied in practical engineering.
[0003] Existing impedance modeling methods mainly include dq Impedance method and sequence impedance method. dq Impedance models, established based on a synchronous rotating coordinate system, can transform three-phase steady-state quantities into DC quantities, thereby revealing the impact of controllers such as current loops, phase-locked loops, and virtual impedances on system dynamics. This model can be used to analyze low-frequency oscillations, control coupling, and the effects of internal control parameters on stability. However... dq Impedance is essentially a coupled two-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output system, and in large-scale systems, a unified coordinate system is required, making it inconvenient to use directly in engineering applications. Sequence impedance models, based on the symmetrical component method, decompose the three-phase system into positive-sequence and negative-sequence components, thus clearly characterizing the dynamic characteristics of the system at different sequence paths. For scenarios where the power grid is approximately balanced, positive-sequence impedance can describe the main grid-connected behavior, simplifying the originally complex three-phase converter dynamics into a single-input single-output model, facilitating the application of classic stability criteria such as the Nyquist model. Furthermore, sequence impedance is consistent with traditional power grid equivalent impedance, line impedance, and transformer models, making it particularly suitable for engineering testing, field measurement, and standardized evaluation. However, with the increasing complexity of converter control strategies, such as the introduction of phase-locked loops, cross-coupled current loops, and nonlinear control methods, significant positive and negative sequence frequency coupling occurs, making a single positive-sequence impedance insufficient to fully characterize the system's dynamic characteristics. Moreover, traditional sequence impedance methods neglect the influence of DC port bus dynamics and AC port grid impedance, and insufficient model accuracy may lead to misjudgments in stability analysis.
[0004] In summary, existing impedance modeling methods suffer from the technical problem of failing to accurately model modular multilevel converters under grid-connected conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned deficiencies or improvement needs of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for sequence impedance modeling and stability analysis of modular multilevel converters, thereby solving the technical problem that existing impedance modeling methods are difficult to accurately model modular multilevel converters under grid-connected conditions.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for modeling the sequence impedance of a modular multilevel converter is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0008] (2) Add a disturbance to the single-phase two-port network to obtain a linearized model. Eliminate the intermediate variables of the linearized model to obtain a single-input multiple-output admittance module from the perspective of two-port network.
[0009] (3) The coupling effect of AC port and DC port is characterized by the admittance module to obtain the self admittance after considering AC-DC coupling. The frequency coupling generated by the grid impedance is considered by the controlled source equivalent method to obtain the additional admittance after considering frequency coupling. The self admittance after considering AC-DC coupling and the additional admittance after considering frequency coupling are added to obtain the sequence impedance model of the modular multilevel converter.
[0010] Furthermore, the self-admittance considering AC / DC coupling is the positive-sequence self-admittance considering AC / DC coupling, and the additional admittance considering frequency coupling is the additional positive-sequence admittance considering frequency coupling. The positive-sequence self-admittance considering AC / DC coupling and the additional positive-sequence admittance considering frequency coupling are added together to obtain the positive-sequence admittance. The negative conjugate of the positive-sequence admittance is taken to obtain the negative-sequence admittance. The positive-sequence admittance and the negative-sequence admittance constitute the sequence-inductance reactance model of the modular multilevel converter.
[0011] Furthermore, the self-admittance considering AC / DC coupling includes positive-sequence self-admittance and negative-sequence self-admittance considering AC / DC coupling, and the additional admittance considering frequency coupling includes additional positive-sequence admittance and additional negative-sequence admittance considering frequency coupling. The positive-sequence self-admittance considering AC / DC coupling and the additional positive-sequence admittance considering frequency coupling are added together to obtain the positive-sequence admittance, and the negative-sequence self-admittance considering AC / DC coupling and the additional negative-sequence admittance considering frequency coupling are added together to obtain the negative-sequence admittance. The positive-sequence admittance and the negative-sequence admittance constitute the sequence-inductance reactance model of the modular multilevel converter.
[0012] Furthermore, the positive-sequence self-admittance considering AC / DC coupling is:
[0013]
[0014] in, s For the perturbation frequency, The perturbation frequency deviates from the fundamental frequency by a factor of two. Indicates the perturbation frequency as s When considering the positive-sequence self-admittance after AC / DC coupling, When the disturbance frequency is s, the positive-sequence self-admittance after AC / DC coupling is ignored. Let be the transfer admittance of the DC port response to the AC port positive-sequence disturbance after neglecting AC-DC coupling when the disturbance frequency is s. When the disturbance frequency deviates from the fundamental frequency by a factor of one, the transfer admittance of the positive-sequence response of the AC port to the DC port disturbance after AC-DC coupling is neglected. The DC bus capacitance impedance is given when the disturbance frequency deviates from the fundamental frequency by a factor of two. When the disturbance frequency deviates from the fundamental frequency by a factor of one, the DC port self-admittance after AC-DC coupling is ignored.
[0015] Furthermore, the additional positive-sequence admittance considering frequency coupling is:
[0016]
[0017] in, s For the perturbation frequency, The perturbation frequency deviates from the fundamental frequency by twice. The perturbation frequency is s When considering the additional positive-sequence admittance after frequency coupling, The positive-sequence transfer admittance considering AC / DC coupling is given when the disturbance frequency deviates from twice the fundamental frequency. The perturbation frequency is s When considering the positive-sequence transfer admittance after AC / DC coupling, The positive-sequence self-admittance considering AC / DC coupling is given when the disturbance frequency deviates from twice the fundamental frequency. It is the admittance of the power grid connected to the AC port when the disturbance frequency deviates from twice the fundamental frequency.
[0018] Further, step (2) includes:
[0019] A first voltage perturbation is added to the AC port of a single-phase two-port network to obtain a linearized model of the AC port. A second voltage perturbation is added to the DC port of the single-phase two-port network to obtain a linearized model of the DC port. The linearized models of the AC port and the DC port together form the linearized model of the main circuit in the single-phase two-port network.
[0020] Multi-harmonic linearization is performed on the small-signal current of the bridge arm and the small disturbance of the first voltage to obtain the first linearization model. Multi-harmonic linearization is performed on the small-signal current of the bridge arm and the small disturbance of the second voltage to obtain the second linearization model. The first linearization model and the second linearization model constitute the linearization model of the control loop in the single-phase two-port network.
[0021] By eliminating intermediate variables in the linearized model of the main circuit and control loop in a single-phase two-port network, a single-input multiple-output admittance module from a two-port perspective is obtained.
[0022] Furthermore, the control loop in the single-phase two-port network includes phase-locked loop control, circulating current suppression control, constant current control, and constant DC voltage control.
[0023] Linearizing the phase-locked loop (PLL) control, the resulting linearized PLL control model is as follows:
[0024] ,
[0025] Where the linearization model is either the first linearization model or the second linearization model, This refers to either the first voltage small perturbation frequency or the second voltage small perturbation frequency. This refers to either a small voltage disturbance or a small voltage disturbance. For the small perturbation of the phase-locked angle after linearization, The imaginary unit, For the fundamental frequency, The perturbation frequency is s The closed-loop transfer function of time-locked loop control. , This refers to the grid-connected voltage amplitude. Characterizes the effect of the initial phase angle of the voltage during grid connection. The lag angle of the grid connection point voltage. It is a natural constant. The perturbation frequency is s Open-loop transfer function of time-locked loop control;
[0026] The closed-loop transfer function of phase-locked loop control is used in constant current control. The small-signal current of the bridge arm and the small disturbance of the first voltage are linearized by multiple harmonics to obtain the first linearized model. The small-signal current of the bridge arm and the small disturbance of the second voltage are linearized by multiple harmonics to obtain the second linearized model. The first linearized model and the second linearized model constitute the linearized model of constant current control.
[0027] The closed-loop transfer function of phase-locked loop control is used in circulating current control. Multi-harmonic linearization is performed on the small-signal current of the bridge arm and the small disturbance of the first voltage to obtain the first linearization model. Multi-harmonic linearization is performed on the small-signal current of the bridge arm and the small disturbance of the second voltage to obtain the second linearization model. The first linearization model and the second linearization model constitute the linearization model of circulating current control.
[0028] By combining the linearized model of constant current control with the linearized model of circulating current control, a linearized model of AC port control loop is obtained.
[0029] By linearizing the constant DC voltage control, a linearized model of constant DC voltage control is obtained.
[0030] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a sequential impedance modeling system for a modular multilevel converter is provided, comprising a processor for executing processing steps of a sequential impedance modeling method for a modular multilevel converter.
[0031] According to a third aspect of the invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the processing steps of a sequential impedance modeling method for a modular multilevel converter as described in any one of claims 1 to 7.
[0032] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a stability analysis method for a modular multilevel converter is provided, comprising: constructing a sequential reactance model using a sequential reactance modeling method for a modular multilevel converter to obtain the original power grid network not connected to the converter; performing stability analysis on the original power grid network and the modular multilevel converter respectively; if both are stable, connecting the modular multilevel converter to the original power grid network; if they are unstable, considering it as power system instability caused by the modular multilevel converter.
[0033] In summary, compared with the prior art, the above-described technical solutions conceived by this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0034] (1) This invention performs two-port equivalence on modular multilevel converters, reducing the number of control variables and lowering the system's dimensionality and complexity. Applying disturbances to a single-phase two-port network is an effective analysis method in sequence-induced impedance modeling, which can significantly improve the model's accuracy and practicality. Disturbance injection provides rich data support for modeling by actively stimulating the system's dynamic characteristics. Eliminating intermediate variables in the linearized model yields a single-input multi-output admittance module from a two-port perspective, which can fully reveal the coupling characteristics between multiple variables within the modular multilevel converter. Using the admittance module to characterize the coupling effect between the AC and DC ports, the self-admittance after considering AC-DC coupling can be accurately obtained, providing a precise mathematical basis for the system's oscillation analysis and stability assessment. Considering the frequency coupling generated by grid impedance through controlled source equivalence simplifies complex coupling analysis. Integrating the admittance module through sequence-induced impedance modeling allows for a more intuitive characterization of the positive-sequence and negative-sequence dynamic characteristics. It can not only accurately account for the influence of different control strategies on the system's frequency domain characteristics but also reflect AC-DC coupling and frequency coupling, enabling accurate modeling of the modular multilevel converter under grid-connected conditions.
[0035] (2) When performing sequential impedance modeling in this invention, the negative sequence admittance can be obtained by taking the negative conjugate of the positive sequence admittance, or the negative sequence self-admittance after considering AC / DC coupling can be added to the additional negative sequence admittance after considering frequency coupling to obtain the negative sequence admittance. This shows that the sequential impedance modeling method of this invention is diverse. This invention uses the form of negative feedback of transfer function to consider the influence of AC / DC coupling on positive sequence self-admittance. The physical meaning is clear, and the formula accurately accounts for the additional coupling term of positive sequence self-admittance under AC / DC coupling. Frequency coupling is considered in the form of equivalent circuit correction. The positive and negative sequence coupling frequencies are included in the self-admittance using the formula, which realizes the dimensionality reduction of the model and thus enables accurate stability analysis.
[0036] (3) In the process of modeling and linearizing the phase-locked loop, this invention considers the influence of the initial phase angle of the voltage during grid connection, through... To characterize the impact of the initial phase angle of the voltage during grid connection, accurate modeling of different initial phase angles for grid connection can be achieved. Applying the phase-locked loop (PLL) linearization results to constant current control yields the differential-mode small-signal linearization results for the AC port. This invention accurately considers the impact of multiple harmonics when modeling constant current control and circulating current control, and can accurately reflect the influence of the control strategies unique to modular multilevel converters.
[0037] (4) The sequence-lead reactance model obtained by this invention has high accuracy, high interpretability, and good scalability, providing a systematic and generalizable theoretical tool for the stability analysis of modular multilevel converters in scenarios such as weak power grids. This invention provides a stability analysis method that uses the sequence-lead reactance modeling method to obtain an accurate and computationally inefficient sequence-lead reactance model, and performs stability analysis on unconnected original power grid networks and modular multilevel converters. The judgment process has low computational complexity and high accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0112] Simulation experiments were conducted using the model established in Example 1. As shown in Figure 3(a), the measured values of the positive-sequence self-impedance amplitude of the modular multilevel converter considering AC / DC coupling are basically consistent with the theoretical calculation values. Figure 3(b) shows the positive-sequence self-impedance phase diagram of the modular multilevel converter considering AC / DC coupling, and the measured values are basically consistent with the theoretical calculation values. Figure 3(c) shows the positive-sequence mutual impedance amplitude of the modular multilevel converter considering AC / DC coupling, and the measured values are basically consistent with the theoretical calculation values. Figure 3(d) shows the positive-sequence mutual impedance phase diagram of the modular multilevel converter considering AC / DC coupling, and the measured values are basically consistent with the theoretical calculation values. Figure 4 This is a comparison chart showing whether frequency coupling is taken into account in modular multilevel converters under short-circuit conditions. Z p To account for the impedance curve of frequency coupling, Z ap To ignore the impedance curve for frequency coupling, Z gThe graph shows the power grid impedance curve, with frequency coupling considered. Z p and Z g An intersection will occur in the negative damping region, while the result of neglecting frequency coupling is negligible. Z ap and Z g The absence of intersection indicates that ignoring frequency coupling can lead to misjudgments in stability analysis. Figure 5 The diagram shows the AC port current after grid connection under short-circuit conditions with relatively small loads. The diagram shows that the AC port current oscillates and becomes unstable, which verifies the accuracy of stability analysis considering frequency coupling and the necessity of considering frequency coupling.
[0113] Embodiment 1 of this invention provides a sequence-lead impedance modeling method for a modular multilevel converter. By treating the modular multilevel converter as a two-port network with AC and DC ports, a clear and unified modeling framework can be constructed. Within this framework, small-signal perturbations are applied to the AC and DC ports respectively, allowing for the systematic derivation of linearized models of the main circuit and control system. Based on this linearized description, a single-input, multi-output admittance model is further obtained from a two-port perspective, enabling the clear revelation of the mutual influence between the AC and DC terminals and the coupling relationships between various frequency components.
[0114] Based on this, by characterizing the coupling characteristics of AC / DC ports using transfer functions and reflecting the coupling mechanism between different frequencies using equivalent circuits, an MMC sequence admittance / sequence impedance model that simultaneously covers port coupling and frequency coupling can be constructed. After introducing equivalent circuit corrections, this model can accurately characterize the dynamic characteristics and various coupling effects under different control strategies, providing a systematic and generalizable analytical tool for high-precision, interpretable frequency domain modeling of modular multilevel converters.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
