Detailed Implementation

[0020] To better understand the present invention, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, will further illustrate the content of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1: A modular multilevel converter energy storage integrated device, the structure of which is shown in the figure below. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a modular multilevel converter (MMC) and an energy storage branch; The energy storage branch is connected in parallel to the upper and lower bridge arm inductors of each phase of the MMC, and is used to store the energy of the MMC or release the stored energy to the MMC through the bridge arm inductors.

[0022] The MMC consists of three-phase bridge arms, each of which includes several series-connected sub-modules (SM1-SMn) and two bridge arm inductors. L s By connecting an energy storage branch containing a partial power converter (such as a DC / AC converter) and an energy storage unit (such as a battery or supercapacitor) in parallel across the upper and lower bridge arm inductors of each phase of the MMC, and by injecting high-order harmonic components into the converter circulating current, the energy storage inductors in the bridge arm inductors are improved. L s Harmonic voltages are generated, thereby enabling energy exchange between the energy storage branch and the MMC. The modular multilevel converter energy storage integrated device proposed in this invention has the following advantages compared to previous solutions: The converter in the energy storage branch can support a portion of the power as needed, only needing to handle a small portion of the total power, without needing to support the entire system rated voltage. This reduces the capacity, size, and cost of the power devices in the energy storage branch converter, significantly reducing the complexity of the retrofit and making large-scale energy storage integration more economically feasible. It only requires parallel connection of the existing busbars at both ends of the bridge arm inductor, making the project simple to implement and the transformation cost extremely low. It can achieve non-disruptive transformation of existing converter substations without changing the original structure, and is particularly suitable for energy storage upgrade of MMC substations that have already been put into operation. The energy storage units (especially lithium batteries) are physically isolated from the MMC main circuit and can be installed in a separate compartment equipped with dedicated fire suppression systems. This completely avoids battery thermal runaway and other malfunctions directly impacting the expensive main converter equipment, greatly improving the safety and reliability of the entire system.

[0023] Example 2: Based on the same inventive concept, this invention also provides an energy interaction method for a modular multilevel converter energy storage integrated device, the flowchart of which is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, it includes: Step 1: Obtain the electrical parameters of the MMC and energy storage branch in the modular multilevel converter energy storage integrated device; Step 2: Input the electrical parameters into the pre-built current setpoint calculation formula to obtain the current setpoint of each phase arm of the MMC and the current setpoint of the energy storage branch converter. Step 3: Based on the given values ​​of the current of each phase arm of the MMC and the given values ​​of the current connected to the energy storage branch converter, perform energy interaction between the MMC and the energy storage branch. The device described herein is a modular multilevel converter energy storage integrated device as described in Example 1.

[0024] This embodiment first analyzes the working principle of the above-mentioned device, and its topology can be equivalent to as follows: Figure 3 The circuit diagram shown.

[0025] In the picture υ dc This is the DC port voltage. x Indicates one of the three phases (which can be chosen) a , b , c ), i xs for x Phase upper arm current, υ xu for x The equivalent controlled voltage source of the upper bridge arm, υ xl for x The equivalent controlled voltage source of the lower bridge arm. υ xe for x The energy storage branch is connected to the controlled voltage source of the MMC. υ x for x Phase grid voltage, υ cm This refers to the voltage at the center point of the three-phase AC to DC bus. i xu for x Phase upper arm bridge arm inductor current, i xl for x Phase lower arm bridge arm inductor current, i xe for x Phase energy storage branch current. L s This refers to the series inductance value of the MMC bridge arm. L 0 represents the equivalent inductance when connected to the AC power grid. L e For the energy storage branch, an inductor is connected, and the corresponding inductor resistances are respectively... r s , r 0、 r e Define the AC output current. i x = i xu - i xl circulation i xz =( i xu + i xl ) / 2, according to the circuit principle above, the AC output current and circulating current are determined by the following two formulas: (1) (2) As can be seen from formulas 1 and 2, by controlling the controlled voltage of each phase upper and lower arm of the MMC... υ xu and υ xl It can control the AC output current i x and circulation i xz .

[0026] The current in the energy storage branch is determined by the following formula, and can be adjusted... υ xe To control the current connected to the energy storage branch i xe It couples with the high-frequency voltage generated by the high-frequency circulating current of the bridge arm inductor, thereby realizing energy interaction between the energy storage branch and the MMC.

[0027] (3) The above analysis shows that, to achieve an energy interaction method for a modular multilevel converter energy storage integrated device, the key is to obtain the current setpoints for the MMC and the energy storage branch. By adjusting the controlled voltage source, the current tracks the setpoints, thus achieving the energy interaction effect. The control flow of a modular multilevel converter energy storage integrated device can be derived from the above analysis, as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the specific details of steps 2 and 3 are included.

[0028] Step 2 specifically includes: Step 2-1: Based on the MMC AC side power reference value and MMC DC side power reference value obtained in Step 1, calculate the DC circulating current setpoint, the fundamental AC circulating current amplitude setpoint of each phase of the MMC, and the energy storage branch reference power; Using the known MMC AC-side power reference value Pac_ref and MMC DC-side power reference value Pdc_ref, the reference power Pes of the energy storage branch can be obtained as Pac_ref - Pdc_ref. Based on Pac_ref and Pdc_ref, the DC circulating current setpoint and the fundamental AC circulating current amplitude setpoint of each phase of the MMC can be calculated according to the MMC power balance and circulating current characteristic derivation formula.

[0029] Assuming the phase difference between the energy storage branch current and the high-frequency circulating current in the bridge arm is equal to 90 degrees, after adding harmonic circulating current to the MMC, in order to minimize the current stress added to the original converter, the amplitudes of the converter bridge arm inductor current and the energy storage branch connection current should satisfy the following relationship: (4) In the formula, For MMC x Phase arm inductor current amplitude, For energy storage branch converter x Phase arm current amplitude, ω The fundamental angular frequency of the power grid. h The order of the injected high-frequency harmonics. h The recommended frequency is 7 times, which is 350Hz.

[0030] The given value of the energy storage branch current satisfies the following relationship: (5) In the formula, For energy storage branch converter x Phase bridge arm current setpoint, θ x For MMC x The phase angle of the output AC current. t For time variables, Ψ e The phase angle of the energy storage branch current.

[0031] The given value of the current in each phase arm of the MMC satisfies the following relationship: (6) In the formula, For MMC x Phase bridge arm current setpoint, The given value for the DC circulating current. For MMC x The given value of the amplitude of the fundamental wave AC circulation; , can be calculated from Pac_ref and Pdc_ref based on the MMC power balance and circulating current characteristics derivation formula; , is the given value for the high-frequency circulating current.

[0032] Formula 4-6 is the formula for calculating the current setpoint.

[0033] Step 2-2: Input the DC circulating current setpoint, the fundamental AC circulating current amplitude setpoint of each phase of MMC, and the reference power of the energy storage branch obtained in Step 2-1, as well as the grid fundamental angular frequency, the order of the injected high-frequency harmonics, the series inductance value of the MMC bridge arm, the phase angle of the output AC current of each phase of MMC, and the phase angle of the current of the energy storage branch obtained in Step 1, into the current setpoint calculation formula to obtain the current setpoint of each phase bridge arm of MMC and the current setpoint of the converter in the energy storage branch.

[0034] Step 3 specifically includes: After obtaining the setpoint values ​​of the bridge arm currents of the MMC and the input current of the energy storage branch converter, corresponding trigger control signals are generated through the current closed-loop control of each converter. This excites a high-frequency circulating current in the bridge arm inductors of the MMC to facilitate energy exchange between the MMC and the energy storage branch. This control process is similar to that of typical MMC and DC / AC converter control methods.

[0035] This method calculates the given values ​​of the bridge arm currents of each phase of the MMC and the given values ​​of the input current of the energy storage branch converter, and then controls the MMC to generate a high-frequency circulating current on the bridge arm inductor. This current can be used as a "carrier" to transfer energy between the energy storage branch and the MMC main circuit. The solution is simple and fast.

The device described herein is a modular multilevel converter energy storage integrated device as described in Example 1.

[0037] The electrical parameters include: MMC AC side power reference value, MMC DC side power reference value, grid fundamental frequency, number of injected high-frequency harmonics, MMC bridge arm series inductance value, phase angle of each phase output AC current of MMC and phase angle of energy storage branch current.

[0038] The computing module is specifically used for: Based on the AC-side power reference value and DC-side power reference value of the MMC, calculate the DC circulating current setpoint, the fundamental AC circulating current amplitude setpoint of each phase of the MMC, and the reference power of the energy storage branch. The given DC circulating current value, the given amplitude of the fundamental AC circulating current of each phase of the MMC, the reference power of the energy storage branch, the fundamental angular frequency of the power grid, the order of the injected high-frequency harmonics, the series inductance value of the MMC arm, the phase angle of the output AC current of each phase of the MMC, and the phase angle of the current of the energy storage branch are input into the formula for calculating the given current value to obtain the given current value of each phase arm of the MMC and the given current value of the converter connected to the energy storage branch.

[0039] The formula for calculating the current setpoint is expressed as follows:

[0040]

[0041]

[0042] In the formula, P es For reference power of energy storage branch, For MMC x Phase arm inductor current amplitude, For energy storage branch converter x Phase arm current amplitude, ω The fundamental angular frequency of the power grid. t For time variables, h The order of the injected high-frequency harmonics.

Ψ e The phase angle of the energy storage branch current. For MMC x Phase bridge arm current setpoint, The given value for the DC circulating current. For MMC x The given value of the amplitude of the phase fundamental wave AC circulation.

[0043] This system calculates the setpoint current of each phase arm of the MMC and the setpoint current of the converter in the energy storage branch, and then controls the MMC to generate a high-frequency circulating current in the arm inductor. This current can be used as a "carrier" to transfer energy between the energy storage branch and the MMC main circuit. The solution is simple and fast.
