Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical engineering technology, and more specifically, to a modular small-signal modeling method and system for four-terminal DC transmission with DC power flow controller. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the large-scale integration of power electronic devices such as wind, solar, and energy storage into the power grid and the widespread application of DC transmission technology, the structure of the power system has undergone profound changes. Traditional transmission technologies, due to insufficient technical adaptability, are unable to meet the operational requirements of a high proportion of new energy sources integrated into the grid. Flexible DC transmission technology, with its active / reactive power decoupling, strong controllability, no need for reactive power compensation, and small footprint, has broad application prospects in areas such as new energy transmission. Its flexible adjustment capability can effectively improve system stability by relying on the frequency support function of the sending-end converter station, and it has now become a key technology supporting the development of new power systems.

[0003] Flexible DC transmission technology based on voltage source converters provides an effective solution for power transmission. However, in a ring-shaped DC grid, multiple lines exist between converter stations, resulting in a transmission line number greater than or equal to the number of converter stations. This makes it impossible to effectively regulate line power flow solely through voltage and power control at the converter stations. In this situation, some line power flows may become overloaded due to ineffective control, threatening the safe and efficient operation of the system. Therefore, it is urgent to effectively introduce a DC power flow controller (DCPFC) to address the power flow control problem in ring-shaped DC grids. The power flow controller can achieve precise regulation of line power flow by changing the equivalent resistance or equivalent voltage connected in series in the lines. Regarding the stability study of the DC power flow controller, this proposal presents a modular small-signal modeling method for four-terminal DC transmission that considers the small-signal model of a complete voltage source converter station (VSC). This method can effectively reflect the impact of parameters of each component of a multi-terminal DC transmission system containing a DC power flow controller on the overall system stability.

[0004] The literature (Meng Yifei, Wang Shanshan, Sun Yuanyuan, et al. Small-signal stability analysis of grid-connected flexible DC-DC systems considering internal dynamic characteristics [J / OL]. High Voltage Engineering, 1-17 [2025-07-07].) proposes a 40th-order detailed small-signal model considering the internal dynamics of the MMC, revealing the mechanism of subsynchronous oscillation caused by the mismatch of circulating current suppression parameters, and verifying the applicability of the simplified model under weak grid conditions. However, the model does not include the dynamic characteristics of the DC power flow controller (DCPFC) and the influence of multi-terminal collaborative interaction, and the error mechanism of the simplified model under strong grid or DCPFC access scenarios is not yet clear. In contrast, this scheme optimizes the stability boundary quantization capability of multi-terminal systems by modularly integrating the dynamics of DCPFC and the VSC control coupling of weak grids. The literature (Liu Xin, Yuan Yi, Wang Litong, et al. Three-port hybrid parameter modeling and stability analysis of flexible DC transmission system [J]. Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2024, 39(16): 4968-4984.) proposes a small-signal modeling method for MMC converter stations based on a three-port hybrid parameter model. It avoids the limitations of traditional impedance stability analysis by using the generalized Nyquist criterion and designs a damping control strategy to suppress DC-side oscillations. However, its model does not cover the dynamic characteristics of the DC power flow controller (DCPFC) and the collaborative interaction of multiple converter stations, and the damping control is not adapted to the multi-terminal system scenario containing DCPFC. In contrast, this scheme discusses the impact of the internal dynamics of the weak network VSC on the stability of DC transmission systems containing DCPFC by modularly integrating the dynamics of DCPFC and the coupling mechanism of the weak network VSC, and accurately characterizes all dynamics of the four-terminal DC transmission system.

[0005] Patent application CN116799809A discloses a hierarchical control method and system based on a DC power flow controller, including: performing small-signal modeling of the DC power flow controller and writing out the small-signal state-space equations; designing PI control parameters based on the established small-signal modeling and the transfer function of the n-line inter-modular capacitive DC power flow controller, and controlling the DC power flow controller; and performing power flow analysis at the centralized control layer to obtain the analysis results. However, this patent cannot completely solve the existing technical problems, nor can it meet the needs of this invention. Summary of the Invention
