Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of offshore wind power transmission engineering, in particular to an offshore wind power direct current transmission device. Background Art

[0002] At present, my country's offshore wind power DC transmission projects usually adopt flexible DC transmission technology, and use DC submarine cables to land, invert into AC power nearby, and then transmit to the load center through AC overhead lines. Foreign offshore wind power DC transmission projects usually use DC submarine cables to land, convert into DC land cables, and transmit them directly to the load center through long-distance DC land cables, and then invert into AC power to access the grid. With the development of offshore wind power towards large bases, scale, and deep sea, if the previous methods of transmission and access to the grid at home and abroad continue to be used, there will be difficulties in absorbing offshore wind power, insufficient land resources on the coastline of coastal cities near offshore wind farms, insufficient onshore transmission corridors, excessive short-circuit current in the power grid in the load center area, great challenges to the safety and stability of the power grid, and high costs of DC land cables.

[0003] In response to the above problems, the Chinese patents "CN117526394A Offshore Wind Power DC System" and "CN117526396A Offshore Wind Power DC System" propose to use a half-bridge MMC or full half-bridge MMC configuration for offshore converter stations, and a full half-bridge hybrid MMC topology configuration for onshore converter stations to clear DC overhead line faults. However, the offshore converter stations of the above two solutions use a half-bridge MMC or full half-bridge MMC topology, which results in a complex topology of the offshore converter station, large size and weight, and high cost. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides an offshore wind power DC transmission device to solve the problem that the existing offshore converter station adopts a half-bridge MMC or full half-bridge MMC topology structure, which leads to a complex topology structure, large size and weight, and high cost of the offshore converter station.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, this application adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] An offshore wind power DC transmission device comprises: an offshore wind turbine set, an offshore converter station, a terminal conversion station, a receiving-end converter station and a load center AC power grid; the AC side of the offshore converter station is electrically connected to the offshore wind turbine set through an AC collector submarine cable, the DC side of the offshore converter station is electrically connected to the terminal conversion station through a DC submarine cable, the terminal conversion station is electrically connected to the receiving-end converter station through a DC overhead line, and the receiving-end converter station is electrically connected to the load center AC power grid through an AC line;

[0007] Among them, the offshore converter station adopts a diode rectifier unit topology structure, and the receiving-end converter station adopts a flexible DC converter unit with a half-bridge MMC structure; the terminal conversion station includes a first DC circuit breaker configured on the DC submarine cable and a DC energy consumption device connected across the DC submarine cable.

[0008] The offshore converter station using the diode rectifier unit topology structure in the above scheme has significant advantages such as small size, light weight, low cost, etc. Compared with the offshore converter station using the half-bridge or full-bridge MMC topology structure, the utility model can significantly reduce the loss, weight, size and cost of the offshore converter station.

[0009] In some embodiments, a second DC circuit breaker is configured on the DC overhead line.

[0010] In some embodiments, the terminal conversion station is located near the landing point of the DC submarine cable. As a result, less coastal land resources are occupied and the onshore transmission corridor is less occupied. After the offshore wind power lands, there is no need to build a receiving end converter station near the coast of the offshore wind farm. Only the terminal conversion station needs to be built, thereby significantly reducing the overhead line corridor, significantly improving the utilization efficiency of land space resources, and greatly reducing the land resources required near the coast of the offshore wind farm.

[0011] In some embodiments, an AC filter is configured on the grid side of the diode rectifier unit topology structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the diode rectifier unit topology adopts a single twelve-pulse diode rectifier.

[0013] In some embodiments, the single twelve-pulse diode rectifier includes two upper and lower six-pulse units, and the AC sides of the upper and lower six-pulse units are respectively connected to a converter transformer, and the connection groups of the two converter transformers are divided into YNy0 and YNd11 connections.

[0014] In some embodiments, the offshore wind turbine generator system is a grid-type wind turbine generator system.

[0015] This application has at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0016] 1. The offshore converter station using the diode rectifier unit topology has significant advantages such as small size, light weight, and low cost. Compared with the offshore converter station using the half-bridge or full-bridge MMC topology, the utility model can significantly reduce the loss, weight, size, and cost of the offshore converter station.

[0017] 2. The overhead line corridors have been significantly reduced, which has significantly improved the efficiency of land space resource utilization, and the land resources required near the coast of offshore wind farms have been greatly reduced.

[0018] 3. The transmission cost of onshore DC overhead lines is significantly lower than that of DC land cables and also lower than that of AC overhead lines of the same capacity.

[0019] 4. As flexible DC has reactive power support capability, the flexible DC converter unit with half-bridge MMC structure adopted in the receiving-end converter station can participate in the construction of AC power grid in the load center and improve the safe and stable operation level of the power grid.
