Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power electronic converter technology, and in particular to an open-circuit test method and apparatus for a DC transmission system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development and widespread application of new energy power generation technologies, the proportion of new energy power generation in the power system is gradually increasing. However, new energy power generation typically relies on power electronic equipment to connect to the grid, and these devices themselves are relatively weak in terms of disturbance resistance and support capabilities. As the proportion of new energy power generation continues to increase, the low inertia characteristic of the power system becomes more pronounced, posing a greater challenge to the stability of the power system and becoming a significant factor hindering the large-scale development of new energy under the goal of carbon reduction and energy conservation. Flexible DC transmission technology based on modular multilevel converters (MMC) has advantages such as independent control of active and reactive power and the ability to supply power to passive systems. It can stably connect high-proportion new energy or 100% pure new energy, becoming a key technology for solving the problem of large-scale new energy grid connection and transmission.

[0003] Ultra-high voltage flexible direct current transmission systems employ multiple voltage source converters in series, which can multiply the transmission capacity. With the continuous increase in the scale of newly built new energy power plants, the demand for transmitting new energy power using ultra-high voltage flexible direct current is becoming increasingly urgent. At present, the application research of ultra-high voltage flexible direct current is still in its initial stage, and some control modes and control methods need to be explored.

[0004] Open Line Tests (OLT) are a system commissioning test item in UHVDC transmission projects. Their main purpose is to test the insulation level of the DC poles after a prolonged shutdown or maintenance, to prevent the DC poles from starting when the line has a permanent ground fault. OLT is an important means of verifying the withstand voltage capability of various equipment in the DC field, the normality of the control and protection system, and the integrity of the DC transmission circuit. Unlike grid-commutated converters in conventional UHVDC transmission systems, the OLT testing methods for voltage source converters are not yet mature. In particular, the DC side voltage of voltage source converters rises after AC charging, making it impossible to conduct an open-line voltage test starting from 0 voltage as in conventional UHVDC systems.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose an open-circuit test method for ultra-high voltage flexible DC transmission systems, which can enable the DC port voltage of the flexible DC system to rise from zero voltage to a predetermined voltage at a predetermined rate during the open-circuit test. Summary of the Invention

[0013] In some embodiments, the method for calculating the submodule voltage value is as follows: When calculating the number of submodules that are turned on using the first rated voltage, the first rated voltage is used as the calculated voltage value of the submodule. When calculating the number of conducting submodules using the second rated voltage, the calculated voltage of the converter valve control system is adjusted based on the number of submodules that have failed in the bridge arm with the most failures of the converter valve under test, and the adjusted calculated voltage of the converter valve control system is used as the calculated value of the submodule voltage.

[0014] In some embodiments, the converter valve under test is a full-bridge hybrid topology converter valve; the short-circuit charging state is a charging state of the full-bridge hybrid topology converter valve when the DC side is short-circuited.

For example, this application embodiment uses an open-circuit test of an ultra-high voltage flexible DC transmission system as an example for illustration, and will not be repeated below.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an open-circuit test method for a DC transmission system provided in this application embodiment. This application embodiment provides an open-circuit test method for a DC transmission system; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The open-circuit test method for this DC transmission system includes the following steps: Step 110: Switch the control mode of the DC transmission system to the no-load pressurization test (OLT) mode, switch the DC field switch to the no-load pressurization test state, and switch the outer loop control in the no-load pressurization test mode to the sub-module average voltage control.

[0031] Among them, the no-load pressurization test (OLT) mode is the open-circuit test mode.

[0032] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a single-pole topology of an ultra-high voltage flexible direct current transmission system provided in an embodiment of this application. For example, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2The ultra-high voltage flexible direct current transmission system includes a first converter valve 10, a second converter valve 20, and a DC field switch. For example, the first converter valve 10 is a high-voltage valve, and the second converter valve 20 is a low-voltage valve.

[0033] Among them, DC field switches refer to various switches in ultra-high voltage flexible DC transmission systems, such as... Figure 2 The first DC output separator 201, the second DC output separator 202, the third DC output separator 203, ..., the polar switch 210, and the polar separator 211 are shown.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The DC transmission system also includes pole line separators 209; a method for switching the DC field switch to the no-load pressurized test state includes: closing the outgoing line separator on the DC side of the converter valve under test, and closing the bypass separator on the DC side of the converter valve not under test; closing the switch and separator connecting the converter valve under test to the pole; closing the pole line separator when the converter valve under test has a DC line, and opening the pole line separator when the converter valve under test does not have a DC line.

[0035] Assuming the converter valve under test is the first converter valve 10, then close the first DC output barrier 201 and the second DC output barrier 202 on the DC side of the first converter valve 10, and close the second bypass barrier 208 for the converter valve under test (i.e., the second converter valve 20); close the polar switch 210 and the polar barrier 211 connecting the first converter valve 10 to the polarity; close the polar barrier 209 when the converter valve under test has a DC line, and open the polar barrier 209 when the converter valve under test does not have a DC line (in other words, determine whether to close the polar barrier 209; if the converter valve under test has a DC line, close the polar barrier 209; if the converter valve under test does not have a DC line, open the polar barrier 209).

[0036] Assuming the converter valve under test is the second converter valve 20, then close the third DC output barrier 203 and the fourth DC output barrier 204 on the DC side of the second converter valve 20, and close the first bypass barrier 206 for the converter valve under test (i.e., the first converter valve 10); close the polar switch 210 and the polar barrier 211 connecting the second converter valve 20 to the polarity; close the polar barrier 209 when the converter valve under test has a DC line, and disconnect the polar barrier 209 when the converter valve under test does not have a DC line.

[0037] Assuming the converter valves under test are the first converter valve 10 and the second converter valve 20, then close the first DC output blade 201 and the second DC output blade 202 on the DC side of the first converter valve 10, and close the third DC output blade 203 and the fourth DC output blade 204 on the DC side of the second converter valve 20; close the polar switch 210 and the polar blade 211 connecting to the polar ground; close the polar blade 209 when the converter valve under test has a DC line, and open the polar blade 209 when the converter valve under test does not have a DC line.

[0038] The bypass switch on the DC side of the converter valve is located on the converter valve side, for example, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 The first bypass switch 205 is located on the side of the first converter valve 10, and the second bypass switch 207 is located on the side of the second converter valve 20.

[0039] Among them, the bypass switch on the DC side of the converter valve is located on the pole and ground wire side, for example... Figure 2 The first bypass separator 206 shown is located on the side between the pole line and the ground line, and the second bypass separator 208 is located on the side between the pole line and the ground line.

[0040] Among them, the two DC output line separators on the DC side of the converter valve under test are located between the bypass switch and the two sides of the bypass separator on the DC side of the converter valve, such as Figure 2 The first outgoing line separator 201 and the second outgoing line separator 202 shown are located between the first bypass switch 205 and the first bypass separator 206 of the first converter valve 10, and the third outgoing line separator 203 and the fourth outgoing line separator 204 are located between the second bypass switch 207 and the second bypass separator 207 of the second converter valve 20. Specifically, the first outgoing line separator 201 and the third outgoing line separator 203 are positive DC side outgoing line separators AI, and the second outgoing line separator 202 and the fourth outgoing line separator 204 are negative DC side outgoing line separators CI.

[0041] Among them, the switch and the isolator connecting the converter valve under test to the polarity are Figure 2 The polarity-connected switch 210 and polarity-connected spacer 211 are shown.

[0042] Specifically, closing the pole isolation switch when the converter valve under test has a DC line connected, and opening the pole isolation switch when the converter valve under test does not have a DC line connected, refers to the no-load pressurized DC field switch state: When the converter valve under test has a DC line connected, the neutral line switch of this station is closed (e.g., closing the switch and isolation switch connecting the converter valve under test to the pole), the pole switch is closed (closing the pole isolation switch), and the pole switch of the opposite station is open; when the converter valve under test does not have a DC line connected, the neutral line switch of this station is closed (e.g., closing the switch and isolation switch connecting the converter valve under test to the pole), and the pole switch is open (opening the pole isolation switch). In other words, when testing the insulation performance of the line, the positive pole of the converter valve is connected to a DC line and pressurized; when only testing the insulation performance of the converter valve equipment, no line is connected to avoid line interference.

[0043] In some embodiments, switching the outer loop control under no-load pressurization test mode to submodule average voltage control includes: determining the target control object and the target reference value through the outer loop control; outputting the target output value by passing the difference between the target control object and the target reference value through the proportional-integral circuit of the outer loop control; and using the target output value as the command value for the inner loop current control of the submodule average voltage control.

[0044] Figure 3 This is a control block diagram of the open-circuit test method for an ultra-high voltage flexible DC transmission system provided in the embodiments of this application. (See also...) Figure 3 The outer loop control (i.e., the outer loop d-axis control) is controlled by the submodule voltage outer loop controller, while the submodule average voltage control is controlled by the submodule current inner loop controller. The proportional-integral (PI) stage of the outer loop control is the PI controller within the submodule voltage outer loop controller. Specifically, the difference between the target controlled object and the target reference value is input to the PI controller in the submodule voltage outer loop controller, and the target output value is obtained after passing through the PI stage. Then, the target output value is used as the d-axis current command value for the inner loop current control of the submodule average voltage control.

[0045] In some embodiments, the target control object is the real-time value of the overall average voltage of all normal submodules of all bridge arms of the converter valve under test.

[0046] The target control object for the submodule average voltage control is the real-time value of the overall average voltage of all normal submodules in all arms of the converter valve. U avg Its value originates from the valve control system (i.e., the converter valve control system). Specifically, the calculation method is as follows: the valve control system obtains the real-time voltage values ​​of all normally operating submodules, sums them, and then divides the sum of the real-time voltage values ​​of all normally operating submodules by the number of normally operating submodules to obtain the average real-time voltage value of the submodule. U avg .

[0047] In some embodiments, the DC transmission system further includes a converter valve control system; the target reference value is the calculated voltage value of the submodule of the converter valve control system.

[0048] Among them, the target reference value for the average voltage control of the submodule U avgref Calculated voltage value for submodule U avgcalc Its value comes from the valve control system.

[0049] In some embodiments, the calculation method for the submodule voltage is as follows: when the number of submodules turned on is calculated using a first rated voltage, the first rated voltage is used as the submodule voltage calculation value; when the number of submodules turned on is calculated using a second rated voltage, the calculation voltage of the converter valve control system is adjusted according to the number of submodules that have failed in the bridge arm with the most failures of the converter valve under test, and the adjusted calculation voltage of the converter valve control system is used as the submodule voltage calculation value.

[0050] The first rated voltage is a fixed rated voltage, and the second rated voltage is a dynamic rated voltage.

[0051] Specifically; calculated submodule voltage values U avgcalc This is determined by the method used to calculate the number of active submodules in the valve control system. For example, when calculating the number of active submodules using a fixed rated voltage, the fixed rated voltage is used as the calculated voltage value for the submodules in the valve control system. When calculating the number of active submodules using a variable rated voltage method, the calculated voltage of the valve control module (i.e., the valve control system) is dynamically adjusted based on the number of faulty submodules in the bridge arm where the converter valve experiences the most faults. The dynamically adjusted variable rated voltage of the valve control module is then determined as the calculated voltage value for the submodules of the valve control module. U avgcalc .

[0052] Step 120: Close the bypass switch on the DC side of the converter valve under test.

[0053] The switching valve under test includes at least one of the first switching valve 10 and the second switching valve 20. For example, if the switching valve under test is only the first switching valve 10, only the high-valve OLT is tested. For example, if the switching valve under test is only the second switching valve 20, only the low-valve OLT is tested. For example, if the switching valve under test is both the first switching valve 10 and the second switching valve 20, both the high-valve and low-valve OLTs are tested simultaneously, i.e., the side-pole OLTs.

[0054] In some embodiments, closing the bypass switch on the DC side of the converter valve under test includes: when the converter valve under test is the first converter valve 10 and the converter valve not being tested is the second converter valve 20, closing the bypass switch on the DC side of the first converter valve 10 and the bypass deflector on the DC side of the second converter valve 20; when the converter valve under test is the second converter valve 20 and the converter valve not being tested is the first converter valve 10, closing the bypass switch on the DC side of the second converter valve 20 and the bypass deflector on the DC side of the first converter valve 10; when the converter valve under test is both the first converter valve 10 and the second converter valve 20, closing the bypass switch on the DC side of the first converter valve 10 and the bypass switch on the DC side of the second converter valve 20.

[0055] Closing the bypass switch on the DC side of the converter valve under test means, for example, referring to... Figure 2 Assuming the converter valve under test is the first converter valve 10, i.e., only the high-valve OLT is being tested (the untested converter valve is the second converter valve 20), the first bypass switch 205 on the DC side of the first converter valve 10 and the second bypass deflector 208 on the DC side of the second converter valve 20 are closed to engage the first converter valve 10 and isolate the untested converter valve 20. Assuming the converter valve under test is the second converter valve 20, i.e., only the low-valve OLT is being tested (the untested converter valve is the first converter valve 10), the second bypass switch 207 on the DC side of the second converter valve 20 and the first bypass deflector 206 on the DC side of the first converter valve 10 are closed to engage the second converter valve 20 and isolate the untested converter valve 10. Assuming the converter valves under test are the first converter valve 10 and the second converter valve 20, that is, when the test pole OLT (i.e., the high and low valves are simultaneously OLT), the first bypass switch 205 on the DC side of the first converter valve 10 and the second bypass switch 207 on the DC side of the second converter valve 20 are closed to put the first converter valve 10 and the second converter valve 20 under test into operation.

[0056] Step 130: Close the AC side incoming switch of the converter valve under test to put the converter valve under test into a short-circuit charging state.

[0057] See Figure 2 When the converter valve under test is the first converter valve 10, the first incoming line switch 212 on the AC side of the first converter valve 10 is closed to put the first converter valve 10 into a short-circuit charging state. When the converter valve under test is the second converter valve 20, the second incoming line switch 213 on the AC side of the second converter valve 20 is closed to put the second converter valve 20 into a short-circuit charging state. When the converter valve under test is both the first converter valve 10 and the second converter valve 20, the first incoming line switch 212 on the AC side of the first converter valve 10 and the second incoming line switch 213 on the AC side of the second converter valve 20 are closed to put both the first converter valve 10 and the second converter valve 20 into a short-circuit charging state.

[0058] In some embodiments, the converter valve under test is a full-bridge hybrid topology converter valve; the short-circuit charging state is a charging state of the full-bridge hybrid topology converter valve when the DC side is short-circuited.

[0059] The short-circuit charging control of the converter valve under test is implemented in the valve control system.

[0060] In some embodiments, the converter valve under test includes a full-bridge module and a half-bridge module; the control method for short-circuit charging of the converter valve under test includes: when all modules of the converter valve under test are locked, charging the capacitor of the full-bridge module in the bridge arm of the converter valve under test through the parallel diode of the converter valve under test; when the full-bridge module of the converter valve under test is successfully powered, gradually disconnecting the full-bridge module until the charging voltage of the half-bridge module is the same as the charging voltage of the full-bridge module; when all sub-modules are successfully powered, disconnecting the N sub-modules with the highest voltage, and slowly increasing the number of N; where N is a positive integer.

[0061] Specifically, the short-circuit charging control process of the converter valve under test includes three steps, as follows: Step 1, Uncontrolled Charging: When all modules are locked, the AC system charges through the diode of the commutation valve under test (e.g., see [reference]). Figure 2 (Assuming the converter valve under test is the first converter valve 10, it corresponds to the first diode D1; assuming the converter valve under test is the second converter valve 20, it corresponds to the second diode D2; assuming the converter valve under test is the first converter valve 10 and the second converter valve 20, it corresponds to the first diode D1 and the second diode D2) The full-bridge submodule capacitor in the bridge arm is charged, but the half-bridge module cannot be charged.

[0062] Step 2, Controllable Charging 1: After the full-bridge module successfully draws power, gradually disconnect the full-bridge module until the voltage charging of the half-bridge module is close to (or basically the same as) that of the full-bridge module.

[0063] Step 3, Controlled Charging 2: After all submodules successfully draw power, select and disconnect the N submodules with the highest voltage, and slowly increase N to achieve the goal of controlling the average voltage of all submodules to be approximately equal to the calculated voltage value of each submodule. U avgcalc .

[0064] Step 140: After the converter valve under test has been charged, unlock the converter valve under test according to the first preset voltage.

[0065] The first preset voltage is zero DC voltage. In order to raise the DC voltage to the target value from zero DC voltage, it is necessary to unlock it with zero DC voltage. Therefore, after the converter valve under test is charged, the converter valve under test is unlocked according to the first preset voltage.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first preset voltage is a zero DC voltage; unlocking the converter valve under test according to the first preset voltage includes: setting the DC bias voltage of the output arm reference wave of the DC transmission system to zero.

[0067] Specifically, after charging is complete, the converter valve under test is unlocked with zero DC voltage. The method for unlocking the converter valve with zero DC voltage is as follows: the DC bias voltage of the bridge arm reference wave output by the control system (i.e., the UHV flexible DC transmission system) is... U ref_PZ The sum of the voltages of the upper and lower bridge arms of the converter valve is 0, thus achieving DC 0-voltage control.

[0068] Step 150: Disconnect the bypass switch on the DC side of the converter valve under test.

[0069] To raise the DC voltage to the target value starting from zero DC voltage, the bypass switch on the DC side of the converter valve under test is closed in step 120 to start from zero DC voltage (this is because, without the bypass switch open, normal charging would theoretically cause the DC side voltage to reach the peak value of the AC line voltage). After the converter valve under test has finished charging, the bypass switch is opened to prepare for boosting the voltage to the target value.

[0070] Step 160: Increase the DC voltage of the converter valve under test according to the preset target.

[0071] Among them, the preset target U REFDC The preset speed and the second preset voltage are specified. The preset speed is 1 kV / s, and the second preset voltage is the rated DC voltage. The specific values ​​of the preset speed and the second preset voltage can be set according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.

[0072] In some embodiments, raising the DC voltage of the converter valve under test according to a preset target includes: controlling the DC bias voltage of the output arm reference wave of the DC transmission system to rise to the target voltage at a preset rate and half of a second preset voltage.

[0073] The target voltage is the second preset voltage. The range of the second preset voltage is from 0 to the rated DC voltage.

[0074] Specifically, the method for raising the DC voltage of the converter valve under test according to the preset target is as follows: the DC bias voltage of the bridge arm reference wave output by the control system is... U ref_PZ According to the predetermined speed (i.e., the preset speed) U RAMP The second preset voltage is raised to half of the target voltage.

[0075] Figure 4This is an overall flowchart of the open-circuit test method for an ultra-high voltage flexible DC transmission system provided in the embodiments of this application. For example, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The overall process of the open-circuit test method for this ultra-high voltage flexible DC transmission system is as follows: Step 1, such as Figure 4 As shown in S101, the control mode of the UHV flexible DC transmission system is switched to OLT mode, the DC field switch is switched to OLT state, and the outer loop d-axis control in OLT mode is switched to sub-module average voltage control.

[0076] Step Two, as follows Figure 4 As shown in S102, the DC side bypass switch (BPS) of the converter valve is closed.

[0077] Step 3, as follows Figure 4 As shown in S103, when the AC input switch ACB of the converter valve is closed, the converter valve enters the short-circuit charging state.

[0078] Step 4, as follows Figure 4 As shown in S104, after charging is complete, the converter valve is unlocked with zero DC voltage.

[0079] Step 5, as follows Figure 4 As shown in S105, the DC side bypass switch BPS of the split converter valve is used.

[0080] Step Six, as Figure 4 As shown in S106, the converter valve operates at a predetermined speed. U RAMP , predetermined goals U REFDC Increase DC voltage.
