Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power electronics application technology, and in particular to a flexible low-frequency converter valve section drag test system and operation control method. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible low-frequency transmission (FLFT) technology increases the line's capacitive reactance to ground by reducing the transmission frequency, thereby reducing capacitive current in the cable and improving transmission efficiency. Compared to power frequency AC transmission, it is more economical and efficient. Compared to high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, FLFT possesses the characteristics of AC transmission, such as electromagnetic induction transformation and zero-crossing current interruption. Therefore, FLFT has significant technical and economic advantages and a promising market prospect in scenarios such as offshore wind power transmission, renewable energy grid connection, and low-frequency grid construction.
[0003] M3C, with its advantages of low output harmonic content and high equivalent switching frequency, is currently the mainstream FLFT technology. In high-voltage, high-capacity flexible power transmission applications such as offshore wind power and new energy grid connection, M3C, similar to MMC, requires series submodules to increase the transmission voltage. However, as the transmission voltage level increases, the number of series submodules required increases proportionally, posing significant challenges to the production and testing of the entire valve.
[0004] Currently, it is possible to build a complete 9-arm flexible low-frequency power transmission simulation platform, simultaneously reducing operating voltage and transmission power, so that the entire system receives the same current stress as in actual engineering, and conduct valve-related tests. However, for converter manufacturers, building a complete dynamic simulation test platform requires many modules, occupies a large area, and has a high overall investment cost. Furthermore, the overall station control strategy is more complex, and the corresponding secondary system investment cost will also be higher.
[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, optimize hardware structure, and simplify test operation control strategies. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention proposes a flexible low-frequency converter valve section drag-out test system and its operation control method. This invention can be used to conduct steady-state tests on M3C power devices, saving on the cost of flexible low-frequency converter valve section drag-out testing, ensuring system stability, and improving test effectiveness.
[0007] In a first aspect of the present invention, a flexible low-frequency converter valve section counter-test system is proposed. The system includes: a test valve section and a valve section under test, wherein the test valve section and the valve section under test are connected in parallel; wherein...
[0008] The test valve section operates as a voltage source and includes multiple power sub-modules for providing AC voltages of at least a first frequency and a second frequency, wherein the first frequency is not equal to the second frequency.
[0009] The valve section under test includes multiple test valve sections, and each test valve section further includes multiple power submodules.
[0010] In one embodiment, the power submodule is an AC-DC conversion submodule, including an AC port and a DC port;
[0011] The AC ports corresponding to the multiple power sub-modules in the test valve section are connected in series in sequence.
[0012] The AC ports corresponding to the multiple power submodules in each of the test valve sections are connected in series sequentially.
[0013] In one embodiment, the power submodule is a full-bridge module, comprising four fully controlled power devices and a capacitor;
[0014] The four fully controlled power devices are divided into two groups, with two fully controlled power devices in each group connected in series. The two groups are connected in parallel, and the nodes of the parallel connection constitute the DC port of the power submodule.
[0015] The capacitor is connected in parallel to the DC port of the power submodule;
[0016] The midpoint of the two fully controlled power devices connected in series in each group constitutes the AC port of the power submodule.
[0017] In one embodiment, the system further includes: a startup power supply and a replenishment power supply; the startup power supply and the replenishment power supply are DC power supplies;
[0018] The starting power supply is connected in parallel with the AC port of the accompanying valve section;
[0019] The supplementary power supply is connected in parallel with the DC port of the test valve section.
[0020] In one embodiment, the system further includes: multiple reactor branches;
[0021] In this process, for each of the test valve sections, a reactor branch is connected in series to form multiple sets of branches; each set of test valve sections and reactor branches connected in series is further connected in parallel, and then connected in parallel with the accompanying test valve section.
[0022] In one embodiment, the system further includes a controller; wherein the controller controls the tested valve segment to output an AC current consisting of the superposition of the AC current of the first frequency and the AC current of the second frequency.
[0023] In one embodiment, the controller includes: a system controller and a valve controller;
[0024] The valve controller outputs a trigger signal for the IGBT within the converter valve section based on the input modulation wave.
[0025] The system controller uses the parameters required by the test as the input variable reference value and the modulation wave of the test valve section as the reference voltage. Based on the modulation wave of the test valve section, the amplitude and phase of the first and second frequency components of the modulation wave of the test valve section are controlled and adjusted according to the system operating parameter requirements, and the output is the modulation wave of the valve controller.
[0026] In one embodiment, the system controller constructs a transfer function of the system input and the second frequency component current of the valve under test, the average voltage of the capacitor of the valve under test submodule, and the DC current component of the valve under test. The system controller obtains the modulation wave parameters of the valve under test through a PI controller. The modulation wave parameters include the voltage phase of the first frequency component, the voltage phase of the second frequency component, and the DC voltage.
[0027] In one embodiment, the system controller performs parameter control based on energy balance and a PI controller, and the first frequency current component of the tested valve segment automatically forms a solution;
[0028] When it is necessary to adjust the first frequency current component of the valve under test, the first frequency current component of the valve under test is controlled in an open loop by adjusting the first frequency voltage amplitude component and the second frequency voltage amplitude component of the valve under test.
[0029] In a second aspect of the present invention, an operation control method for a flexible low-frequency converter valve section drag test is proposed, the method being executed based on a flexible low-frequency converter valve section drag test system; wherein, the method includes:
[0030] During the startup phase, the starting power supply charges the test valve section and the valve section under test. Once the preset operating conditions are met, the starting power supply is taken out of operation. During operation, the supplementary power supply remains in operation to compensate for system operating losses.
[0031] During the steady-state phase, the test valve section serves as a reference module, maintaining a constant average module capacitor voltage; the module capacitor voltage of the test valve section is controlled at the target value; based on energy conservation, the active power transmission corresponding to the first frequency component and the second frequency component is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction; between the test valve section and the test valve section, the active power transmitted from the test valve section to the test valve section through the second frequency component will be fed back from the test valve section to the test valve section through the first frequency component;
[0032] During the control phase, a modulation wave is generated by the controller to control the output of the tested valve segment to generate an AC current with the first frequency and the second frequency superimposed, while suppressing the DC current component.
[0033] The flexible low-frequency converter valve section drag test system and operation control method proposed in this invention uses the test valve section as a voltage source to output two AC voltages of different frequencies. The tested valve section contains multiple series power sub-modules and is equipped with reactor branches, which can simultaneously control power frequency and low frequency currents, eliminating complex and redundant test equipment, significantly reducing the construction cost of the test platform, and is effectively applicable to the steady-state test of M3C converter valve sections, meeting the steady-state test requirements of M3C power devices. During the operation control process, the starting power supply completes charging and then exits during the startup phase, while the supplementary power supply is fully engaged to compensate for system operating losses. In steady state, based on energy conservation, the active power of the two frequency components is transmitted in reverse between the test and tested valve sections. With the control structure composed of a system controller and a valve controller, the capacitor voltage of the tested valve section module can be accurately controlled at the target value, suppressing the DC current component and ensuring the stability of the current component of the tested valve section, thus ensuring stable system operation. This not only improves the effectiveness and reliability of the test, but also further optimizes the economy and stability of system operation. Attached Figure Description

[0062] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the system architecture of a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the system also includes a controller 100; wherein the controller 100 controls the tested valve segment to output an AC current that is the superposition of the AC current of the first frequency and the AC current of the second frequency.
[0063] Specifically, the controller 100 includes: a system controller 110 and a valve controller 120;
[0064] The valve controller 120 outputs a trigger signal for the IGBT in the converter valve section according to the input modulation wave.
[0065] The system controller 110 uses the parameters required by the test as the input variable reference value and the modulation wave of the test valve section as the reference voltage.

[0078] like Figure 4 As shown, during operation, the system input conditions are determined according to the specific experimental requirements:

[0086] Construct the system input and the 20Hz component of the current I20 in the tested valve section, and the capacitor voltage U of the tested valve section submodule.

[0087] The generated modulation wave serves as the input signal for the valve controller, controlling the trigger signal of the IGBTs within the converter valve section. The valve controller employs the nearest-level modulation method.
[0088] It should be noted that although several modules of the flexible low-frequency converter valve section towing test system have been mentioned in the detailed description above, this division is merely exemplary and not mandatory. In fact, according to embodiments of the present invention, the features and functions of two or more modules described above can be embodied in one module. Conversely, the features and functions of one module described above can be further divided and embodied by multiple modules.
[0089] Having described the apparatus according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the following references are made to... Figure 5 The operation control method of the flexible low-frequency converter valve section drag test system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is introduced.
[0090] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the operation control method of a flexible low-frequency converter valve section drag test system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:
[0091] S501, during the startup phase, the starting power supply charges the test valve section and the valve section under test. After the preset operating conditions are reached, the starting power supply is taken out of operation. During operation, the supplementary power supply remains in operation to compensate for system operating losses.
[0092] S502, in the steady-state phase, the test valve section serves as a reference module, maintaining a constant average module capacitor voltage; the module capacitor voltage of the test valve section is controlled at the target value; based on energy conservation, the active power transmission corresponding to the first frequency component and the second frequency component is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction; between the test valve section and the test valve section, the active power transmitted from the test valve section to the test valve section through the second frequency component will be fed back from the test valve section to the test valve section through the first frequency component;
[0093] S503, in the control phase, generates a modulation wave through the controller to control the output of the tested valve section to superimpose the first frequency and the second frequency of the AC current, while suppressing the DC current component.
[0094] In one embodiment, the flexible low-frequency converter valve section drag test system and operation control method proposed in this invention are applicable to scenarios including at least the steady-state test of the M3C converter valve section.
[0095] This invention enables equivalent testing of the valve section of the M3C converter based on the flexible high-voltage direct current transmission MMC in the form of valve sections (several series sub-modules composed of proportions), realizing the equivalent testing of the valve section of the M3C converter on a drag test platform.
[0096] During the startup phase, the starting power supply charges the test valve section and the valve section under test. Once the system operating conditions are met, the starting power supply is deactivated. Throughout the entire system operation, the supplementary power supply remains operational to compensate for operational losses.
[0097] After the system completes module pre-charging, it enters steady-state mode. The test valve section serves as a reference module, and the average module capacitor voltage remains constant. The system energy transmission loop consists of three parts: a first-frequency energy transmission loop, a second-frequency energy transmission loop, and the energy stored in the capacitor of the test valve section module. The capacitor of the test valve section module is controlled at the target value. Ignoring system losses (which have been compensated for by the energy replenishment module), based on energy conservation, for the valve section itself, the active power transmission of the first-frequency component is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the active power transmission of the second-frequency component. Between the test valve section and the valve section under test, the active power transmitted from the test valve section to the valve section under test via the second-frequency component is fed back from the valve section under test to the test valve section via the first-frequency component.
[0098] The controller controls the tested valve section to output an AC current consisting of the superposition of the first frequency AC current and the second frequency AC current. The basic control structure of the controller mainly consists of two parts: a system controller and a valve controller. The valve controller outputs the trigger signal of the IGBT in the controlled commutation valve section according to the input modulation wave.
[0099] The system controller uses the parameters required by the test as reference values for the input variables, and its output is the modulated wave of the valve controller. The modulated wave u of the test valve section... ps (t) serves as the reference voltage, and the modulated wave u of the tested valve segment is... bs (t) in u ps Based on (t), and according to the system operating parameter requirements, the amplitude and phase of the first and second frequency components of the modulation wave of the tested valve section are controlled and adjusted. Simultaneously, considering the absence of a DC current component in the low-frequency converter valve, a DC current suppression controller is constructed.
[0100] The system controller constructs transfer functions for key electrical quantities such as the system input and the second frequency component current of the valve under test, the average voltage of the capacitors in the valve under test submodules, and the DC current component of the valve under test. It obtains the modulation wave parameters of the valve under test—the voltage phase of the first frequency component, the voltage phase of the second frequency component, and the DC voltage—through a PI controller. Based on energy balance and the above control, the first frequency current component of the valve under test automatically forms a solution. When adjustment of the first frequency current component is required, open-loop control of the first frequency current component is achieved by adjusting the amplitude components of the first and second frequency voltages of the valve under test.
[0101] It should be noted that although the operation of the method of the present invention has been described in a specific order in the above embodiments and figures, this does not require or imply that the operations must be performed in that specific order, or that all the operations shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. Additionally or alternatively, certain steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or one step may be broken down into multiple steps.
[0102] The flexible low-frequency converter valve section drag test system and operation control method proposed in this invention uses the test valve section as a voltage source to output two AC voltages of different frequencies. The tested valve section contains multiple series power sub-modules and is equipped with reactor branches, which can simultaneously control power frequency and low-frequency current, eliminating complex and redundant test equipment, significantly reducing the construction cost of the test platform, and is effectively applicable to the steady-state test of M3C converter valve sections, meeting the steady-state test requirements of M3C power devices. During the operation control process, the starting phase is completed by charging through the starting power supply and then withdrawn, while the replenishing power supply is continuously engaged in the compensation system. The system minimizes operating losses and, in steady state, achieves reverse transmission of active power of two frequency components between the test and under-test valve segments based on energy conservation. Combined with a control structure consisting of a system controller (including PI control and DC current suppression function, capable of precisely adjusting the modulation wave parameters of the under-test valve segment) and a valve controller (using the nearest-level modulation), it can accurately control the capacitor voltage of the under-test valve segment module to the target value, suppress the DC current component, ensure the stability of the current component in the under-test valve segment, and guarantee stable system operation. This not only improves the effectiveness and reliability of the test but also further optimizes the economy and stability of system operation.
