Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of new energy technology, specifically to a hybrid new energy collection and transmission system. Background Technology
[0002] Line commutator-based HVDC (LCC-HVDC) technology, with its advantages of large capacity, low cost, and mature reliability, has been widely used in large-scale, long-distance power transmission. Large-scale renewable energy power plants generally use AC aggregation, multi-stage voltage boosting, and then transmit power via LCC-HVDC. However, as the scale of renewable energy transmission continues to expand in weak grid scenarios such as deserts and Gobi, LCC-HVDC exhibits technical limitations such as low aggregation efficiency, low system short-circuit capacity, poor synchronization stability, and significant transient overvoltage risks. To meet operational stability requirements, additional reactive power and inertia support devices such as synchronous condensers are needed, resulting in large equipment investment and high overall project costs.
[0003] Voltage source converters (VSCs), with their ability to independently regulate active and reactive power, support four-quadrant operation, and provide excellent grid control capabilities, have become an important technical means to enhance the grid connection capability of new energy sources. For wind farms, using VSCs for DC aggregation can provide the necessary voltage and frequency support for connected wind turbines without changing the original AC interfaces of the wind turbines, thereby improving the grid connection adaptability of wind farms under weak grid or islanded operation conditions. Photovoltaic farms, which output DC, can effectively reduce the number of energy conversion stages and improve the efficiency of the transmission system by using DC aggregation and boosting methods, while avoiding the synchronization stability constraints of AC aggregation methods.
[0004] Compared with AC aggregation technology, DC aggregation technology has significant advantages in aggregation capacity, system stability, and economy, and has gradually become an important development direction for the aggregation and transmission of isolated new energy bases. However, how to achieve efficient, stable, and economical DC aggregation and long-distance transmission while taking into account the technical characteristics of different new energy types remains a key problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The hybrid renewable energy collection and transmission system provided in this application includes a first collection subsystem, a second collection subsystem, and a transmission subsystem. The first collection subsystem converts AC power from wind farms into first DC power and transmits it to the transmission subsystem. The second collection subsystem converts second DC power from photovoltaic (PV) farms into third DC power and transmits it to the transmission subsystem. The transmission subsystem converts the first and third DC power into fourth DC power and transmits it.

[0037] The first collection subsystem 1 is used to convert the AC power from the wind farm into a first DC power and transmit it to the sending subsystem 3.
[0038] The second collection subsystem 2 is used to convert the second DC power from the photovoltaic power station into a third DC power and transmit it to the sending subsystem 3.
[0039] The transmitting subsystem 3 is used to convert the first DC power and the third DC power into a fourth DC power and transmit it.
[0040] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first aggregation subsystem 1 may include multiple voltage source converters (i.e., multiple VSCs, which may include VSC1 to VSCn). The multiple voltage source converters are connected to multiple wind farms in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the input terminal of each voltage source converter is connected to the wind farm station, and the first output terminal DC11 of each voltage source converter is connected to the first DC port P1 of the transmission subsystem 3 (which serves as the first positive input terminal, i.e., ...).

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transformer module 22 includes a primary winding 221, a first secondary winding 222, and a second secondary winding 223.
[0051] The primary winding 221 and the first secondary winding 222 are connected in a star configuration, while the second secondary winding 223 is connected in a delta configuration.
[0052] Of course, the transformer module 22 can also adopt other structures, which are not limited in this application embodiment.
[0053] In some other possible implementations, the output subsystem 3 includes a second DC-DC converter (i.e., DC / DC2).
[0054] The first positive input terminal DC1+ of the second DC-DC converter DC / DC2 serves as the first DC port P1 of the output subsystem 3; the first negative input terminal DC1- of the second DC-DC converter DC / DC2 serves as the second DC port P2 of the output subsystem 3; the second positive input terminal DC2+ of the second DC-DC converter DC / DC2 serves as the third DC port P3 of the output subsystem 3; and the second negative input terminal DC2- of the second DC-DC converter DC / DC2 serves as the fourth DC port P4 of the output subsystem 3.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 The second DC / DC converter includes a first low-voltage bridge arm, a second low-voltage bridge arm, a third low-voltage bridge arm, a fourth low-voltage bridge arm, a first common bridge arm, a second common bridge arm, a first high-voltage bridge arm, and a second high-voltage bridge arm.
