Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of online monitoring technology for abnormal submodules of converter valves, and specifically relates to a method, system and equipment for early warning and fault analysis of abnormal submodules of MMC converter valves. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible DC transmission technology based on Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs) and employing fully controlled Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) has been applied in a series of DC demonstration projects. Maintenance issues, particularly online monitoring of modular power devices in converter valves, have become a key focus. Converter valve equipment has long relied on a maintenance system primarily based on scheduled periodic maintenance, supplemented by reactive repairs. Scheduled maintenance typically includes major overhauls, minor repairs, emergency repairs, and periodic maintenance. The maintenance cycle is determined empirically by collecting and analyzing the average failure rate of power equipment, which leads to problems such as unreasonable maintenance interval settings that are out of sync with the actual operating conditions of the equipment.

[0003] Condition-based maintenance is a higher-level maintenance system developed from preventive maintenance. It is based on the current operating status of equipment. Through analysis and diagnosis of equipment operation monitoring information, it assesses whether there are any potential fault risks in the current operating state of the equipment, and then conducts targeted preventive maintenance based on the assessment results. This maintenance method not only allows for site-specific maintenance operations but also enables pre-planning of maintenance timing, reducing the impact of maintenance operations on the stable operation of the power grid. It represents a major development trend in power equipment maintenance technology.

[0004] In summary, with the development of high-voltage, high-capacity IGBT converter valves, online monitoring and timely early warning of converter valve submodules are particularly important. However, existing online temperature monitoring methods for converter valves suffer from problems such as simple judgment criteria and low level of intelligent operation and maintenance, resulting in low accuracy of fault monitoring, which in turn leads to untimely maintenance and affects the stable operation of the power grid.

[0067] After adopting the above solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are reflected in:

[0068] (1) Enrich testing standards

[0069] Existing MMC converter valve submodule monitoring only focuses on the bypass and signal on / off status of the MMC converter valve submodule, and the system monitors the real-time values ​​of the maximum and minimum five voltage and current values ​​of the valve tower's MMC converter valve submodules, lacking detailed evaluation criteria. This invention sets anomaly warning criteria from both extreme and relative value perspectives, performs fault analysis based on system messages, classifies anomalies into levels according to severity, and provides corresponding handling suggestions including appropriate time for maintenance, requesting immediate maintenance, and emergency shutdown maintenance, providing a basis for operation and maintenance.

[0070] (2) Improve the intelligence of operation and maintenance

[0071] When a converter valve bypass or black module fails, the background monitoring system typically sends status messages one by one throughout the entire process from the occurrence of the fault to the submodule's shutdown. This rapid transmission of massive amounts of messages in a short period can lead to the true cause of the fault being overlooked, making fault analysis impossible and hindering the implementation of intelligent operation and maintenance. This invention extracts key fault information from massive amounts of messages for fault analysis, ensuring a rapid response from the intelligent system. Attached Figure Description

[0148] Criterion 2: A relative temperature exceeding the limit alarm must simultaneously meet the following two conditions.

[0149] Condition 1: The difference between the extreme temperature and the average value of the MMC converter valve submodule does not exceed the maximum deviation value, that is, |maximum value - average value| ≥ 5℃, |minimum value - average value| ≥ 5℃.

[0150] Condition 2: The judgment is made continuously for more than N times, and in this embodiment, it is made for more than 5 times.

[0151] Specifically, the identification of voltage anomaly MMC converter valve submodules includes two criteria:

[0152] Criterion 1: Extreme voltage over-limit alarm must meet the following two conditions simultaneously.

[0153] Condition 1: The voltage value of a single MMC converter valve submodule shall not exceed the maximum margin and shall not be less than the minimum margin. The maximum value of the MMC converter valve submodule capacitor voltage is taken as 2.56kV, and 2.6kV is taken considering the margin. The minimum value of the MMC converter valve submodule capacitor voltage is taken as 1.52kV, and 1.5kV is taken considering the margin.

[0154] Condition 2: Simultaneously, transient overvoltage conditions must be considered, meaning that all MMC converter valve submodules may experience collective overvoltage or undervoltage. The difference between the extreme voltage and the average voltage of the MMC converter valve submodules must not exceed the maximum deviation value, i.e.: |maximum value - average value| ≥ 50V, |minimum value - average value| ≥ 50V.

[0155] Criterion 2: The relative voltage over-limit alarm must meet the following two conditions simultaneously.

[0156] Condition 1: The difference between the extreme voltage and the average voltage of the MMC converter valve submodule shall not exceed the maximum deviation value, i.e.: |maximum value - average value| ≥ 100V, |minimum value - average value| ≥ 100V.

[0157] Condition 2: The judgment is made continuously for more than M times, and in this embodiment, it is more than 5 times.

[0158] Fault Analysis Module S21: Polls the background fault message at fixed time intervals to extract alarm information of bypass module and black module. Classifies and statistically analyzes each valve hall black module and bypass module according to fault phenomenon and fault cause. Combines the alarm content to extract the fault characteristics corresponding to the fault code and generates a fault analysis message for the fault module with "valve tower status at fault + fault cause + fault result".

[0159] When the MMC converter valve submodule changes from a normal state to a black module or bypass module due to a fault, a fault message will be generated. Taking the time when the fault message is generated as the time origin, all fault status messages within a certain time period before and after the time origin are obtained (which can be set to push 5 minutes before the time origin and 5 minutes after the time origin). The fault analysis module S21 performs fault analysis to obtain the analysis results.
