[0033] Example

[0034] A flexible DC back-to-back system converter online switching system, comprising two AC field areas 1 and a valve body area 2, wherein the AC field area 1 comprises an AC power grid 11, a first transformer 12 connected to the AC power grid 11, and a second transformer 13 connected to the first AC power grid 11; the valve body area 2 comprises two groups of converter groups 21, each of which has two converters 211 connected in parallel; one converter 211 in one of the converter groups 21 is connected to the first transformer 12 in one AC field area 1, and the other converter 211 is connected to the second transformer 13 in one AC field area 1 ; One converter 211 in another converter group 21 is connected to the first transformer 12 in another AC field area 1, and another converter 211 is connected to the second transformer 13 in another AC field area 1; the positive line of one converter 211 in each converter group 21 is connected to one end of the positive bus 22, and the negative line is connected to one end of the negative bus 23, and the positive line of another converter 211 is connected to the other end of the positive bus 22, and the negative line is connected to the other end of the negative bus 23; DC fast switches 24 are provided on the positive and negative lines of the converter 211. The converter 211 adopts a half-bridge topology power module.

[0035] The operation of the input is to unlock any converter 211, enter the fixed DC voltage control, and close the DC fast switch 24 on the positive line and negative line of any converter 211. When the DC voltage deviation on both sides of the DC fast switch 24 of any converter 211 is less than the set threshold, close the DC fast switch 24. The target value of the fixed DC voltage control is the actual operating DC voltage of the flexible DC back-to-back system.

[0036] When the inverter 211 needs to be put online, the inverter 211 is charged by the AC system, the fixed DC voltage is unlocked, and its DC voltage target value is set to the DC voltage value of the running back-to-back system. The DC fast switch 24 on the positive and negative lines of the inverter 211 is closed, and the inverter 211 is put into operation. At this time, the inverter 211 is converted to the constant power control mode, and then the power is increased or decreased according to system requirements.

[0037] The exit operation is to lock any converter 211, and after entering the DC side charging mode, separate the DC fast switch 24 on the positive line and the negative line of any converter 211. When the DC voltage deviation on both sides of any converter 211 is less than the set threshold, close the DC fast switch 24.

[0038] When the converter 211 needs to exit online, the converter 211 enters the DC side charging mode after locking operation, avoids the occurrence of system overvoltage or undervoltage by dynamically adjusting the number of sub-modules put into operation, disconnects the DC fast switch 24 on the positive line and negative line of the converter 211, and the converter 211 exits operation. Then, the AC side circuit breaker of the converter 211 is disconnected, and the converter 211 completely exits.

[0039] An online starting method of an online starting and stopping system of a converter of a flexible DC back-to-back system comprises the following steps:

[0040] Step 1: Close the AC circuit breaker of any converter 211 to enter the AC side charging mode;

[0041] Step 2: After the converter 211 is fully charged, it is unlocked and operated in a constant DC voltage mode, and the converter 211 does not exchange active power and reactive power with the AC system;

[0042] Step 3: After the DC voltage deviation on both sides of the DC fast switch 24 on the positive line and the negative line of the converter 211 is less than the set threshold, the DC fast switch 24 on the positive line and the negative line of the converter 211 is closed;

[0043] Step 4: After the converter 211 is successfully put into operation, it is changed to fixed active power control, and the power is increased or decreased according to actual demand.

[0044] An online exit method of an online switching-on and switching-off system of a flexible DC back-to-back system converter comprises the following steps:

[0045] Step 1: reduce the power of any converter 211 to 0 and lock the converter 211;

[0046] Step 2: The converter control system enters the DC side charging mode, and avoids overvoltage and overcurrent of the system by online switching of the submodules. After the DC voltage deviation on both sides of the DC fast switch is less than the set threshold, the DC fast switch 24 on the positive line and negative line of the converter 211 is disconnected;

[0047] Step 3: Disconnect the AC side circuit breaker of the converter 211, and the converter 211 exits the system.

[0048] It should be noted that the DC fast switch 24 has an initial DC current capacity of about 15A. To avoid continuous arcing during the breaking process, the DC fast switch 24 can only be opened when the voltage deviation on both sides is small.

[0049] It should be noted that any converter 211 in the present invention supports online switching.

[0050] Other parts not described belong to the prior art.
