Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power systems and their automation technology, specifically to a small-disturbance stability analysis method applicable to flexible DC asymmetric operating conditions. Background Technology
[0002] Modular multilevel converters (MMCs), as an advanced voltage source converter, possess significant advantages such as high output waveform quality, low switching losses, strong fault handling capabilities, and high scalability, making them a core component of high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. With the increasing demand for renewable energy grid integration and the intelligent upgrading of power systems, MMC-HVDC technology is widely used in inter-regional grid interconnection and centralized renewable energy transmission. Its voltage levels and capacities are continuously increasing, placing higher demands on system stability control.
[0003] However, the MMC-HVDC system faces severe stability challenges in actual operation. Due to its high degree of power electronics, complex control circuitry, and increased integration of renewable energy sources, the system exhibits complex dynamic characteristics such as wideband resonance and multimodal coupling. High-frequency resonance incidents have been observed multiple times in engineering practice: the State Grid Chongqing-Hubei DC project experienced harmonic resonances of 700Hz and 1800Hz; the world's first flexible DC grid, the Zhangbei project, experienced high-frequency oscillations of around 1500Hz during AC-side charging at the Kangbao station; and the Southern Power Grid's Luxi back-to-back flexible DC project experienced 1200Hz resonance when connected to a weak AC system. These phenomena not only affect power quality but, in severe cases, can lead to converter lockout and system shutdown, posing a significant threat to the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
[0004] For stability analysis of MMC-HVDC systems, existing technologies have developed relatively mature solutions under symmetrical operating conditions. A typical method is based on the harmonic balance principle, which transforms a system with periodic time-varying solutions into an equivalent linear time-invariant system, and then uses eigenvalue analysis to achieve small-disturbance stability assessment. This method effectively simplifies the analysis process under symmetrical power grid conditions. However, in actual engineering, non-ideal operating conditions such as three-phase power grid voltage asymmetry, line impedance parameter imbalance, and differences in bridge arm inductance are common. Under asymmetrical operating conditions, the MMC converter generates abundant harmonic components, and strong coupling effects exist between harmonics of different frequencies. In this case, the traditional method based on the harmonic balance principle needs to consider multiple harmonic frequency components, causing the system model order to increase by a factor of 2n+1 with the number of harmonics n, leading to the "curse of dimensionality." This modeling approach is not only cumbersome and lacks clear physical meaning, but also significantly increases computational complexity and hardware costs, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid analysis and real-time control in engineering applications.
[0005] Therefore, developing an efficient small-disturbance stability analysis method suitable for asymmetric operating conditions, and avoiding the problem of model order expansion in traditional techniques, is of great theoretical significance and engineering value for improving the safe and stable operation of MMC-HVDC systems.

This invention directly processes periodic time-varying systems based on Floquet's theorem, eliminating the need to convert them into time-invariant systems through the harmonic balance principle. This fundamentally avoids the problem in traditional methods where the model order increases by a factor of 2n+1 with the number of harmonics n. By establishing the original periodic time-varying state-space model, while preserving the physical essence of the system, the model dimension is controlled at a level comparable to the original system, effectively solving the technical bottleneck of cumbersome modeling steps and ambiguous physical meaning under asymmetric conditions.

This invention eliminates the need to adjust the modeling method for different asymmetry types (voltage asymmetry, impedance asymmetry, parameter asymmetry, etc.), and can be directly applied to various non-ideal operating conditions. By analyzing system stability using Floquet multipliers, it can capture the dynamic characteristics of periodic time-varying systems, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional methods in terms of insufficient analysis accuracy under strongly coupled harmonic environments, and providing a unified solution for stability assessment under complex operating conditions.
[0022] 4. Provides a precise theoretical basis for resonance suppression strategies. This invention utilizes Floquet multipliers obtained through eigenvalue decomposition to not only determine system stability but also quantitatively analyze the oscillation frequencies and damping characteristics of each mode. Combined with sensitivity analysis of the state transition matrix, key influencing parameters of the system can be located, providing quantitative guidance for developing targeted resonance suppression strategies (such as control parameter optimization and additional damping control design), thereby improving the system's fault ride-through capability and operational reliability.
