Description

Test method and related equipment for dynamic performance of energy self-balancing flexible straight valve energy discharge branch

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411512971.4, filed on October 28, 2024, entitled “Dynamic Performance Test Method and Related Device for Energy Self-Balancing Flexible Straight Valve Energy Discharge Branch”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of flexible DC transmission technology in power systems, and in particular to a dynamic performance test method and related apparatus for a self-balancing flexible DC valve energy discharge branch. Background Technology

[0003] Flexible DC transmission converter valves, with their flexibility, controllability, and high efficiency, have broad application prospects in DC transmission and renewable energy power generation and grid connection. For islanded transmission applications such as offshore wind power flexible DC transmission, to limit overvoltage caused by surplus power during receiving-end faults, flexible DC systems based on conventional MMC topologies require the addition of AC or DC energy dissipation devices, increasing construction costs. Currently, energy self-balancing flexible DC valves, with submodules possessing active energy discharge branches, can eliminate the need for energy dissipation devices and reduce submodule capacitance, representing a new technology for solving the surplus power problem during AC faults at the receiving end of offshore wind power flexible DC systems.

[0004] The energy self-balancing flexible direct valve topology is shown in Figure 2. The sub-modules in the bridge arm can adopt a hybrid cascade structure of full and half bridges. Unlike conventional MMC sub-modules, each sub-module capacitor has a discharge branch composed of a fully controlled power electronic switch and a resistor connected in parallel across its terminals.

[0005] The energy-balancing flexible DC valve bridge arm submodule's energy-draining branch adopts a valve-controlled unified triggering strategy. When the entire bridge arm experiences overvoltage, the energy-draining resistor in the submodule's energy-draining branch is activated under unified control to reduce the capacitor voltage and ensure the submodule's safety. The balancing effect of the submodule voltage and the energy absorbed by the energy-draining resistor during the energy-draining branch's operation is a key design consideration for the energy-balancing flexible DC valve's energy-draining branch. If the submodule voltage and the energy absorbed by the energy-draining resistor within the bridge arm cannot be balanced, uneven voltage distribution between submodules and excessive energy absorption will occur, causing the submodule's energy-draining branch to prematurely disconnect. Ultimately, this may lead to system fault ride-through failure and system lockout tripping.

[0006] Currently, existing technologies do not conduct research on the dynamic performance testing of the energy self-balancing flexible DC valve's energy discharge branch during operation, nor are there specific testing methods for the dynamic performance of the energy self-balancing flexible DC valve's energy discharge branch. Existing flexible DC valve testing systems also lack the function of overall bridge arm voltage boosting, and have poor dynamic control stability, making them prone to oscillations during the overall operation of the energy discharge branch, leading to system protection tripping and ultimately test failure.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1. This application provides a dynamic performance test method for the energy discharge branch of an energy self-balancing flexible DC valve. The energy discharge branch consists of a fully controllable power electronic switch and an energy discharge resistor. The energy self-balancing flexible DC valve under test is connected to the test system as a test valve. The sub-module of the energy self-balancing flexible DC valve has a built-in control device with the function of detecting operating parameters and a valve control with calculation and control functions. The test system includes a DC voltage source, a test valve, and a source module. When the overall system is over-voltaged, the energy discharge branch of the bridge arm sub-module is actively activated to discharge energy, reduce capacitor voltage, and ensure the safety of the converter valve equipment.

[0060] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the dynamic performance test system of the energy self-balancing flexible DC valve energy discharge branch of this application is shown in Figure 3; the test system mainly includes: a DC voltage source, a bridge arm 1 composed of a test valve and a source module, a bridge arm 2 where the test valve is located, and a connecting reactor.

[0063] It should be noted that before starting the dynamic performance test of the energy self-balancing flexible direct current valve's energy discharge branch, that is, before the energy self-balancing flexible direct current valve assembly is connected to the test system as the test valve, the test parameters of the test valve need to be preset. The test parameters include: the input voltage U of the energy discharge branch. u Cut-off voltage U d The maximum energy absorbed by the leakage resistor E smu Among them, the input voltage U of the energy dissipation branch u Cut-off voltage U d The maximum energy absorbed by the leakage resistor E smu The set value is determined based on the design parameters of the flexible straight-line engineering to which the test valve belongs.

[0064] Step 102: By setting the operating parameters of bridge arm 1 and bridge arm 2, bridge arm 2 is made to operate under the condition of continuous maximum current.

[0065] In one embodiment, step 102 includes:

[0066] By setting the modulation amplitude values ​​of both bridge arm 1 and bridge arm 2 to n1, the voltage of the submodule containing the test valve is not lower than the rated operating voltage U. sm1 And let the phase angle of the modulation wave of bridge arm 2 be θ = θ1, so that the current of bridge arm 2 is not lower than the maximum continuous operating current.

[0067] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the submodule containing the test valve operates under the maximum current continuous operation condition, specifically, the modulation amplitude values ​​of the bridge arms containing both the test valve and the test valve (i.e., bridge arm 1 and bridge arm 2) are both given as n1 (n1 is a positive integer), and the voltage of the submodule containing the test valve is not lower than the rated operating voltage U. sm1 Let the phase angle of the modulation wave of the bridge arm where the test valve is located be θ = θ1, so that the current of the bridge arm 2 where the test valve is located is not lower than the maximum continuous operating current.

[0068] Step 103: By adjusting the modulation amplitude value of bridge arm 1, the voltage of the submodule where the test valve is located is increased.

[0069] In one embodiment, step 103 includes:

[0070] Within one power frequency cycle, adjust the modulation amplitude of bridge arm 1 to n2 to raise the voltage of the submodule where the test valve is located;

[0071] in, The condition (n+1) ≥ n2 > n1 is satisfied.

[0072] In the formula, n1 and n2 are both modulation wave amplitude values ​​of the bridge arm, U u For the applied voltage, U sm1 This is the rated operating voltage.

[0073] Understandably, step 103 initiates the dynamic performance test of the energy leakage branch. First, step 103 adjusts the modulation amplitude value of the bridge arm 1 where the test valve is located, thereby increasing the voltage of the submodule of the test valve.

[0074] Step 104: Based on the average voltage of the submodule where the test sample valve is located, switch the energy discharge branch on or off. At the same time, adjust the modulation wave phase angle and the modulation wave amplitude of bridge arm 1, and then proceed to step 105.

[0075] In one embodiment, step 104 includes:

[0076] The average voltage U of the submodule containing the test sample valve is obtained through valve control calculation. avg;

[0077] When the average voltage U avg > Input voltage U u At that time, the valve control uniformly triggers the energy discharge branch of the test sample valve, and sets the phase angle difference of the modulation wave of bridge arm 2 to θ = 0, and reduces the modulation wave amplitude of bridge arm 1 from n2 to n1.

[0078] When the average voltage U avg < Input voltage U u At that time, the valve control system will lock the energy discharge branch of the test valve and set the phase angle difference θ = θ1 of bridge arm 2 so that the submodule where the test valve is located will resume operation under the condition of continuous maximum current.

[0079] It should be noted that the energy self-balancing flexible direct current valve submodule has a built-in control device that monitors the submodule's working status in real time. The capacitor voltage and the energy-absorbing resistor absorb energy and upload it to the valve control. The submodule and energy-absorbing resistor are switched on and off according to the valve control's instructions.

[0080] Step 105: Calculate the average absorbed energy of the leakage resistor. When the average absorbed energy is less than the maximum absorbed energy E... smu Return to step 103 until the average absorbed energy is not less than the maximum absorbed energy E. smu The voltage imbalance and energy absorption imbalance of the leakage resistor in the submodule where the test sample valve is located are calculated.

[0081] In one embodiment, calculating the average absorbed energy of the leakage resistor in step 105 includes:

[0082] The average absorbed energy of the leakage resistor is calculated based on the formula for calculating the average absorbed energy.

[0083] The formula for calculating the average absorbed energy is as follows:

[0084] In the formula, E avg E represents the average energy absorbed by the energy-discharging resistor. N The value of energy absorbed by the corresponding numbered submodule is given, where n is the number of sample valve submodules.

[0085] It should be noted that all calculations in this application are performed through valve control.

[0086] In one embodiment, step 105, calculating the voltage imbalance and energy absorption imbalance of the leakage resistor in the submodule containing the test valve, includes:

[0087] The voltage imbalance of the sample valve in the submodule is calculated based on the voltage imbalance calculation formula, and the energy absorption imbalance of the leakage resistor is calculated based on the leakage resistor calculation formula.

[0088] The formula for calculating voltage imbalance is as follows:

[0089] In the formula, δ U U represents the voltage imbalance of the submodule containing the test valve. max U is the highest voltage of the test valve module. min U is the lowest voltage of the test valve submodule. avg Average voltage;

[0090] The formula for calculating the leakage resistance is:

[0091] In the formula, δ EE represents the unevenness of energy absorption by the energy-discharging resistor. max E represents the maximum energy absorbed by the test valve submodule. min E represents the minimum energy absorbed by the test valve submodule. avg This represents the average energy absorbed by the leakage resistor.

[0092] Step 106: Analyze the dynamic performance of the energy discharge branch in the self-balancing flexible valve based on the voltage imbalance and the energy absorption imbalance.

[0093] In one embodiment, step 106 includes:

[0094] When the voltage imbalance is less than a preset percentage and the energy absorption imbalance is less than a preset percentage, the dynamic performance of the energy release branch in the test valve is deemed qualified.

[0095] It should be noted that, specifically, for example, if the voltage imbalance of the test valve submodule is detected to be <10% during the operation of the energy discharge branch, and the energy absorption imbalance of the energy discharge resistor of the test valve submodule is detected to be <10% after the test, then the dynamic performance of the test valve energy discharge branch is deemed qualified; otherwise, it is deemed unqualified.

[0096] The following is a description of the test results obtained according to the test method of this application:

[0097] As shown in Figure 4, the first window at the top displays the voltage of the test valve bridge arm (red) and the voltage of the auxiliary test valve bridge arm (black). The dynamic performance test of the energy dissipation branch starts at 3 seconds. Before 3 seconds, both bridge arms output a level of 4 (modulation amplitude of 4). After the dynamic performance test of the energy dissipation branch starts at 3 seconds, within 20ms, the modulation amplitude of the auxiliary test valve bridge arm is adjusted to 6, and the bridge arm outputs a maximum level of 6, charging the test valve submodule. The upper right corner of the first window shows the magnified waveform at 3 seconds, demonstrating the change in the level. The second window displays the bridge arm current. Before 3 seconds and after 3.6 seconds, it operates under the maximum current continuous operation condition. Between 3 seconds and 3.6 seconds, due to the operation of the energy dissipation branch, the phase angle is adjusted, and the bridge arm current decreases. The third window displays the capacitor voltage of the test valve submodule. It can be seen that it starts to rise at 3 seconds, reaching a maximum of 3050V when the energy dissipation branch is activated. The fourth window displays the energy dissipation branch conduction command. The system remained running during the test. This diagram only shows the electrical quantity changes during one energy discharge branch operation. Based on the relationship between the average energy absorbed and the maximum energy absorbed by the energy discharge resistor of the submodule, multiple tests can be conducted.

[0098] As shown in Figure 5, the effect diagram of the submodule voltage and energy absorption imbalance of the energy leakage resistor obtained according to the test method provided in this application shows that the submodule voltage imbalance during the operation of the energy leakage branch is <3.5%, and the energy absorption imbalance of the energy leakage resistor of the test valve submodule after the test is <7.0%, thus determining that the dynamic performance of the energy leakage branch of the test valve is qualified. According to the test method provided in this invention, the entire test process verifies the dynamic performance of the energy leakage branch of the energy self-balancing flexible valve.

[0099] In summary, this application proposes a dynamic performance test method for the energy-self-balancing flexible DC valve's energy-discharge branch. Based on an existing flexible DC converter valve operation test system, it simulates a system fault during normal operation of the energy-self-balancing flexible DC valve, leading to overall overpressure of the bridge arm. This method uniformly triggers the energy-discharge branch of each sub-module within the energy-self-balancing flexible DC valve, verifying the voltage equalization, resistance energy balance, and energy tolerance among the sub-modules. This overcomes the lack of effective testing methods during the operation of the energy-discharge branch of the energy-self-balancing flexible DC valve and solves the problem that existing operation test systems cannot raise the voltage of all sub-modules of the energy-self-balancing flexible DC valve as a whole, and the uniform triggering of the energy-discharge branch easily leads to oscillations during the overall operation of the energy-discharge branch, resulting in system protection tripping and ultimately test failure. This application can utilize an existing mature flexible DC converter valve operation test system, eliminating the need for a new test system and offering advantages such as low investment and simple testing methods.
