[0002] With the continuous increase in the utilization of renewable energy, low-frequency AC transmission has become a strong candidate for high-voltage, long-distance power transmission. Bipolar modular AC-AC converters, with their simple structure and independent control of active and reactive power, are widely used in such systems. However, the converter contains a large number of full-bridge submodules, and the switching devices within are prone to open-circuit faults, leading to output waveform distortion and a continuous rise in capacitor voltage.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient localization method specifically designed for this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for locating open-circuit faults in full-bridge submodules of a bipolar modular converter. By synchronously collecting capacitor voltage data of each submodule within the same bridge arm, calculating the average value, absolute error, and standard deviation of the capacitor voltage of each submodule, constructing a confidence threshold range for the capacitor voltage of the submodule, and determining and accurately locating the submodule fault based on whether the voltage value exceeds the range and reaches a preset time.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented using the following technical solution.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for locating open-circuit faults in a full-bridge submodule of a bipolar modular converter, comprising:

[0007] Collect capacitor voltage data for each full-bridge submodule on each arm of the bipolar modular converter;

[0008] Based on the capacitor voltage data of each full-bridge submodule on each bridge arm, calculate the average capacitor voltage of each full-bridge submodule at each sampling time.

[0009] Based on the capacitor voltage data and the average capacitor voltage, calculate the absolute error of the capacitor voltage of each full-bridge submodule at each sampling time;

[0010] Based on the absolute error of the capacitor voltage, calculate the standard deviation of the capacitor voltage of each full-bridge submodule at each sampling time;

[0011] Based on the average capacitor voltage and the standard capacitor voltage, a corresponding confidence threshold range is constructed, and fault diagnosis and location are performed on the full-bridge submodule:

[0012] When the capacitor voltage value of a certain full-bridge submodule exceeds the confidence threshold range at the sampling time and the time reaches the preset decision time, the full-bridge submodule is determined to have failed, and the corresponding location result is output.

[0013] Furthermore, the bipolar modular converter includes a bipolar transformer and modular circuitry, wherein the bipolar transformer includes a primary winding. Secondary winding 1 and secondary winding two The primary winding and secondary winding use Connection, the secondary winding two use Connection: Secondary winding one The same-named terminal connects to the upper arm of the three-phase bridge, and the secondary winding two Non-identical terminals connect to the lower arm of the three-phase bridge, primary winding The corresponding terminal is connected to the low-frequency AC system;

[0014] The modular circuit adopts a three-phase six-bridge-arm structure, with each phase including an upper bridge arm and a lower bridge arm, and each bridge arm consisting of...

[0029] ;

[0030] in, This represents the average capacitor voltage of the submodule at the sampling time. The standard deviation of the capacitor voltage corresponding to the submodule at the sampling time is denoted as .

[0031] Furthermore, the submodule fault location determination includes: when the real-time sampled value of a certain submodule continuously exceeds the confidence threshold range, and the duration reaches the preset decision time. If the fault is found, the submodule is determined to be faulty, and fault location and isolation are performed; otherwise, the submodule is determined to be operating normally.

[0032] The full-bridge submodule fault location method proposed in this invention uses the Lay criterion to construct a dynamic confidence threshold interval, thereby achieving accurate identification and location of open-circuit faults. Compared with traditional submodule fault judgment methods, this invention method does not require an accurate mathematical model or additional hardware equipment, significantly reducing system cost and complexity.

[0039] When the capacitor voltage value of a certain full-bridge submodule exceeds the confidence threshold range at the sampling time and the time reaches the preset decision time, the full-bridge submodule is determined to have failed, and the corresponding location result is output.
