Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power electronic converter technology, specifically to a continuous inverse-time current limiting method and device for grid-type converters. Background Technology The new power system exhibits characteristics of high proportion of new energy sources, low inertia, and weak short-circuit ratio. Grid-type converters can simulate the characteristics of synchronous machine voltage sources and are core equipment supporting the transient stability of the power grid and providing fault voltage support. When the power grid experiences voltage dips, voltage surges, or short-circuit faults, the converter will generate several times its rated fault current, which can easily cause a surge in IGBT chip losses and a rapid rise in junction temperature, leading to thermal breakdown and permanent equipment damage.

[0002] Existing fault current limiting methods mainly employ fixed virtual impedance current limiting and constant current hard limiting, which have obvious drawbacks: 1) Current current limiting methods do not incorporate real-time sensing of device junction temperature and rely solely on fixed timing thresholds, which cannot adapt to changes in ambient temperature, initial load, and heat dissipation conditions. They can only conservatively leave margins, wasting the short-term overload potential of devices; 2) Conventional control relies on a voltage-current dual-loop structure, which has strong parameter coupling and complex tuning; 3) Single current limiting without phase coordination makes it difficult to simultaneously achieve the dual goals of device thermal safety and grid reactive voltage support.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a current limiting method that integrates junction temperature observation, continuous inverse time-limited modeling, and amplitude-phase coordinated adjustment to address issues such as fitting error, oscillation control, conservative current limiting, and insufficient support capacity from a mechanistic perspective.

Square the magnitude of the internal potential and then take the square root to obtain the maximum allowable internal potential amplitude considering overload constraints. Based on the maximum permissible internal potential amplitude considering overload constraints, determine the maximum internal potential amplitude that will not trigger device overcurrent under the current operating condition; The maximum internal potential amplitude that does not trigger device overcurrent under the current operating condition is used as the internal potential amplitude command sent to the IGBT for modulation.

[0018] Furthermore, the equivalent impedance phasor relationship of the grid converter is as follows: E=U+jX*I In the above formula, E is the magnitude of the internal potential, U is the magnitude of the voltage, j is the imaginary part in unit, X is the magnitude of the impedance, and I is the magnitude of the current.

[0019] Furthermore, the maximum internal potential amplitude that does not trigger device overcurrent under the current operating condition is as follows:

[0020] In the above formula, This represents the maximum internal potential amplitude that will not trigger overcurrent in the device under the current operating conditions. This represents the reference internal potential amplitude output by the power outer loop droop strategy. The maximum permissible internal potential amplitude considering overload constraints.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1 See appendix Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the main steps of a continuous inverse-time current limiting method for a grid-type converter according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the continuous inverse-time current limiting method for grid-type converters in this embodiment of the invention mainly includes the following steps: Step S101: Online estimation of IGBT real-time thermal safety margin based on IGBT instantaneous on-state losses of grid-type converter; Step S102: Introduce a junction temperature correction coefficient to correct the real-time thermal safety margin of the IGBT, and determine the dynamic safety current limiting current of the IGBT based on the corrected real-time thermal safety margin of the IGBT.

For junction-shell thermal resistance, This refers to the device case temperature.

[0039] In one implementation, the modified IGBT real-time thermal safety margin is as follows:

[0040] In the above formula, For the corrected real-time thermal safety margin of IGBTs, This is the margin adjustment ratio coefficient.

[0041] In one implementation, the IGBT dynamic safety current limiting current is as follows:

[0042] In the above formula, For IGBT dynamic safety current limiting current, tFault duration / Overload duration C This is the inverse time-delay tuning constant corresponding to the thermal time constant of the device. n It is an inverse time-limited characteristic index. I N This is the rated output current of the converter.

[0043] In one embodiment, the inverse time-delay tuning constant corresponding to the thermal time constant of the device is as follows: .

[0044] In one embodiment, the command for adjusting the internal potential amplitude of the IGBT based on the IGBT dynamic safety current limiting current adjustment includes: After replacing the current magnitude in the equivalent impedance phasor relationship of the grid converter with the dynamic safety current limiting current of the IGBT, the equivalent impedance phasor relationship of the grid converter is solved to obtain the internal potential magnitude. Square the magnitude of the internal potential and then take the square root to obtain the maximum allowable internal potential amplitude considering overload constraints. Based on the maximum permissible internal potential amplitude considering overload constraints, determine the maximum internal potential amplitude that will not trigger device overcurrent under the current operating condition; The maximum internal potential amplitude that does not trigger device overcurrent under the current operating condition is used as the internal potential amplitude command sent to the IGBT for modulation.

[0045] In one embodiment, the equivalent impedance phasor relationship of the grid converter is as follows: E=U+jX*I In the above formula, E is the magnitude of the internal potential, U is the magnitude of the voltage, j is the imaginary part in unit, X is the magnitude of the impedance, and I is the magnitude of the current.

[0046] In one implementation, the maximum internal potential amplitude that does not trigger device overcurrent under the current operating condition is as follows:

[0047] In the above formula, This represents the maximum internal potential amplitude that will not trigger overcurrent in the device under the current operating conditions. This represents the reference internal potential amplitude output by the power outer loop droop strategy. The maximum permissible internal potential amplitude considering overload constraints.

[0048] In one embodiment, the power angle command sent to the IGBT modulation is as follows:

[0049] In the above formula, δThe deviation between the dynamic safety current limiting current and the rated current of the IGBT. To send the power angle command for IGBT modulation, This is the reference power angle output by the power outer loop droop strategy.

[0050] In one specific implementation, taking a 500kW high-voltage direct-connected energy storage system as an example, the implementation of this patent is illustrated. The system has a rated voltage of 380V, a rated capacity of 500kW, a filter inductance of 0.1mH, a filter capacitor of 80uF, and a virtual moment of inertia of 0.2kW / m. 2 Damping coefficient 500, switching frequency 8000Hz.

[0051] Figure 2 The waveform shows the fault ride-through waveform without current limiting. When a symmetrical short-circuit fault occurs in the grid, the converter output current rapidly rises to 5 times the rated current, at which point the converter enters a deep overload state. Due to the lack of active current limiting measures, this overload current lasts for 15 μs (exceeding the 10 μs threshold of the converter software overcurrent protection), triggering the hardware protection circuit. After the protection action, the converter pulse is blocked, and the output current instantly drops to 0, causing the grid connection voltage to lose support, continuously dropping from 1.0 pu (rated voltage) before the fault to below 0.2 pu. The waveform shows an undamped growth trend in the current waveform, with a peak value reaching 5.2 times the rated current; the voltage waveform shows no signs of recovery within 30 ms after the fault, ultimately leading to voltage collapse due to the converter disconnecting from the grid. This result indicates that without a current limiting strategy, the converter cannot balance its own safety and grid support under severe faults, resulting in a fault ride-through success rate of 0% and exacerbating grid transient instability.

[0052] Figure 3 The waveform shown is the fault ride-through waveform when using a virtual impedance current limiting strategy. After a fault occurs, the converter introduces a virtual impedance (equivalent impedance value of 0.5 pu) into the control loop, suppressing the peak output current to 2.5 pu and keeping the duration within 30 seconds, thus preventing overcurrent protection from being triggered. However, the limitations of this strategy are clearly reflected in the voltage waveform: because the virtual impedance consumes reactive power, the reactive current output by the converter drops to 40% of its rated support capacity, resulting in the grid connection point voltage only recovering to a maximum of 0.7 pu, failing to meet the rated voltage requirement of 1.0 pu. A waveform comparison shows that although the current waveform has no obvious overshoot, the rising edge slope is relatively slow, and the voltage waveform still exhibits a steady-state deviation of 0.3 pu. This indicates that while the virtual impedance strategy can ensure equipment safety, it comes at the cost of sacrificing voltage support capacity, failing to meet the voltage support requirements of a high proportion of renewable energy grids.

[0053] Figure 4The waveforms show the fault ride-through waveforms when using the inverse-time current limiting strategy. In the initial stage of the fault, the strategy prioritizes suppressing the current peak, rapidly limiting active power to keep the peak current below 3 p.u. In the middle stage, reactive power support is gradually released, increasing the reactive current from 1.2 p.u. to 2.8 p.u., driving the grid connection voltage from 0.3 p.u. to 0.9 p.u. In the later stage, the power command is dynamically adjusted based on the inverse-time characteristic, reducing the current to 3 p.u. as the withstand time increases, while the voltage remains stable at the rated value of 1.0 p.u. The waveforms show a steady-state current overload factor of 3 p.u. (within the safe threshold), a voltage recovery time 75% shorter than the virtual impedance strategy, and no voltage fluctuations throughout the fault ride-through process. These results verify the core advantage of the inverse-time current limiting strategy: by dynamically balancing current suppression and reactive power output, it ensures the converter operates within a safe overload range while achieving full grid connection voltage support.

[0054] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the comparison of overload safety boundaries for three current-limiting strategies. Analysis of the diagram shows that: under the no-current-limit strategy, the fault inrush current far exceeds the device's safety tolerance boundary, failing to guarantee the power device's operational safety and also compromising the grid's transient voltage support capability; while the virtual impedance current-limiting strategy can constrain the fault current within the device's safe range and meet the equipment's thermal protection requirements, it suffers from excessive current limiting, resulting in insufficient grid voltage support during fault periods; the inverse-time current-limiting strategy proposed in this invention can precisely control the transient current within the IGBT's safe overload range, strictly ensuring device operational safety while fully releasing the converter's reactive power support potential, achieving a dual-objective synergistic optimization of equipment thermal safety and grid voltage support.
