[0001] The present disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202510137237.2, filed on February 7, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of flexible power transmission, in particular to a non-impact charging method and device for a super capacitor in a grid-connected static synchronous compensator. BACKGROUND

[0003] With the increasing acceleration of power system construction, new energy has gradually become the main body of new installed capacity and new power generation. With the continuous improvement of new energy penetration rate, the power system is gradually showing a high power electronic trend, and the operation mechanism and safety and stability characteristics of the previous synchronous machine-based power system are undergoing profound changes.

[0004] In order to improve the reactive voltage control capability of the power system including new energy (which can be referred to as a new type of power system), a grid-connected static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is usually arranged in a new energy station and an AC collection station. STATCOM is a reactive power compensation device, and its main function is to provide or absorb reactive power to improve the power factor of the new type of power system and maintain the voltage stability of the new type of power system. SUMMARY

[0005] In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a non-impact charging method for a super capacitor in a grid-connected static synchronous compensator, the non-impact charging method comprising:

[0006] controlling a direct-current side actual voltage of the modular multilevel converter according to a direct-current side reference voltage of the modular multilevel converter.

[0007] controlling the direct-current side actual voltage to rise to a preset first voltage threshold according to a preset first rising slope, and performing non-controlled rectification charging on the super capacitor converter in the grid-connected static synchronous compensator.

[0008] controlling the direct-current side actual voltage to rise to a preset second voltage threshold according to a preset second rising slope, and performing non-impact charging on the super capacitor converter according to a preset duty ratio.

[0009] wherein the preset second voltage threshold is greater than the preset first voltage threshold.

[0010] In some implementations, the DC side actual voltage of the modular multilevel converter is controlled according to the DC side reference voltage of the modular multilevel converter in the grid-connected static synchronous compensator, comprising:

[0011] According to the DC side reference voltage, the DC side actual voltage is proportionally integrated controlled to be 0.

[0012] In other implementations, the DC side actual voltage is controlled to rise to a preset first voltage threshold according to a preset first rising slope, and the super capacitor converter in the grid-connected static synchronous compensator is controlled to be charged by uncontrolled rectification, comprising:

[0013] All sub-modules in the super capacitor converter are turned off, and the DC switch between the modular multilevel converter and the super capacitor converter is closed.

[0014] The DC side actual voltage is gradually raised according to the preset first rising slope, and the super capacitor in the sub-module is charged by uncontrolled rectification through the antiparallel diode of the power device in the sub-module.

[0015] In the case that the DC side actual voltage rises to the preset first voltage threshold, all sub-modules are powered on for self-checking, and if any sub-module fails, all sub-modules stop uncontrolled rectification charging and are repaired.

[0016] Exemplarily, the preset first voltage threshold satisfies: dcset1 = N·U dc_start ;

[0017] Wherein, U dcset1 represents the preset first voltage threshold, N represents the number of sub-modules in the super capacitor converter, and U dc_start represents the starting voltage of the driving module for sending driving signals to the sub-modules.

[0018] In yet other implementations, the DC side actual voltage is controlled to rise to a preset second voltage threshold according to a preset second rising slope, and the super capacitor converter is charged by non-impact charging according to a preset duty ratio, comprising:

[0019] The DC side actual voltage is gradually raised according to the preset second rising slope, and the super capacitor converter is charged by non-impact charging according to the preset duty ratio.

[0020] The DC voltages of all turned-off sub-modules and all bypassed sub-modules are collected, and the maximum DC voltage of the turned-off sub-module and the minimum DC voltage of the bypassed sub-module are selected.

[0021] When the voltage difference between the maximum DC voltage of the shutdown submodule and the minimum DC voltage of the bypassed submodule is greater than a preset third voltage threshold, the submodule corresponding to the minimum DC voltage of the bypassed submodule is shut down, and the submodule corresponding to the maximum DC voltage of the shutdown submodule is bypassed.

[0022] If the DC voltage on the DC side rises to a preset second voltage threshold, and the DC voltage of the submodule is within a preset voltage range, then the supercapacitor converter valve completes shockless charging. Otherwise, shockless charging of the supercapacitor converter valve continues according to a preset duty cycle until the DC voltage of the submodule is within the preset voltage range.

[0023] In some embodiments, the preset second voltage threshold satisfies: U dcset2 =(N-1)U scn ;

[0024] Among them, U dcset2 This represents the preset second voltage threshold, N represents the number of sub-modules in the supercapacitor converter valve, and U... scn This indicates the rated voltage of the submodule.

[0025] For example, the preset duty cycle satisfies:

[0026] Where D represents the preset duty cycle and N represents the number of sub-modules in the supercapacitor converter valve.

[0027] Furthermore, the shock-free charging method provided in this disclosure also includes:

[0028] By shutting down all submodules in the supercapacitor converter valve, the actual DC-side voltage is controlled to drop to the rated DC-side voltage of the modular multilevel converter valve.

[0029] On the other hand, this disclosure also provides a shockless charging device for a supercapacitor in a grid-type static synchronous condenser, and the shockless charging device includes: a control module, a first charging module, and a second charging module.

[0030] The control module is used to control the actual DC side voltage of the modular multilevel converter valve based on the DC side reference voltage of the modular multilevel converter valve in the grid-type static synchronous condenser.

[0031] The first charging module is used to control the actual DC side voltage to rise to a preset first voltage threshold according to a preset first rising slope, and to perform uncontrolled rectified charging on the supercapacitor converter valve in the grid-type static synchronous condenser.

[0032] The second charging module is used to control the actual DC side voltage to rise to a preset second voltage threshold according to a preset second rising slope, and to perform shockless charging of the supercapacitor converter valve according to a preset duty cycle.

[0033] The preset second voltage threshold is greater than the preset first voltage threshold.

[0034] In one implementation, the control module is used to:

[0035] Based on the DC-side reference voltage, proportional-integral control is applied to the actual DC-side voltage to make the actual DC-side voltage zero.

[0036] In another implementation, the first charging module is used for:

[0037] Shut down all submodules in the supercapacitor converter valve and close the DC switch between the modular multilevel converter valve and the supercapacitor converter valve.

[0038] The actual DC voltage gradually increases according to the preset first rising slope, and the supercapacitor in the submodule is charged by uncontrolled rectification through the anti-parallel diode of the power device in the submodule.

[0039] When the actual DC voltage rises to the preset first voltage threshold, all submodules power on and perform self-tests. If any submodule fails, all submodules stop uncontrolled rectifier charging and are then inspected.

[0040] For example, the preset first voltage threshold satisfies: U dcset1 =N·U dc_start ;

[0041] Among them, U dcset1 U represents the preset first voltage threshold, N represents the number of sub-modules in the supercapacitor converter valve, and U represents the number of sub-modules in the supercapacitor converter valve. dc_start This indicates the startup voltage of the drive module used to send drive signals to the submodule.

[0042] In another implementation, the second charging module is used for:

[0043] The DC side voltage gradually increases according to the preset second rising slope, and the supercapacitor converter valve is charged without impact according to the preset duty cycle.

[0044] Collect the DC voltage of each of the shutdown submodules and the bypassed submodules, and select the maximum DC voltage of the shutdown submodule and the minimum DC voltage of the bypassed submodule.

[0045] When the voltage difference between the maximum DC voltage of the shutdown submodule and the minimum DC voltage of the bypassed submodule is greater than a preset third voltage threshold, the submodule corresponding to the minimum DC voltage of the bypassed submodule is shut down, and the submodule corresponding to the maximum DC voltage of the shutdown submodule is bypassed.

[0046] If the DC voltage on the DC side rises to a preset second voltage threshold, and the DC voltage of the submodule is within a preset voltage range, then the supercapacitor converter valve completes shockless charging. Otherwise, shockless charging of the supercapacitor converter valve continues according to a preset duty cycle until the DC voltage of the submodule is within the preset voltage range.

[0047] In some embodiments, the preset second voltage threshold satisfies: U dcset2 =(N-1)U scn ;

[0048] Among them, U dcset2 This represents the preset second voltage threshold, N represents the number of sub-modules in the supercapacitor converter valve, and U... scn This indicates the rated voltage of the submodule.

[0049] For example, the preset duty cycle satisfies:

[0050] Where D represents the preset duty cycle and N represents the number of sub-modules in the supercapacitor converter valve.

[0051] Furthermore, the control module is also used for:

[0052] By shutting down all submodules in the supercapacitor converter valve, the actual DC-side voltage is controlled to drop to the rated DC-side voltage of the modular multilevel converter valve.

[0063] The technical solutions in this disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the embodiments, claims, and drawings of this disclosure are for distinguishing purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such as including a series of steps or units. A method, system, product, or apparatus is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0065] It should be understood that in this disclosure, "at least one item" means one or more, and "more than one" means two or more. "And / or" is used to describe the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist.

[0066] With the accelerating pace of power system construction, new energy sources are gradually becoming the main contributors to new installed capacity and power generation. As the penetration rate of new energy sources continues to increase, the power system is gradually showing a trend towards high levels of power electronics, and the operating mechanism and safety and stability characteristics of the power system, which was previously based on synchronous machines, are undergoing profound changes.

[0067] To enhance the reactive power and voltage control capabilities of power systems including renewable energy sources (referred to as new power systems), grid-type static synchronous condensers (STATCOMs) are typically installed at renewable energy power plants and AC substations. A STATCOM is a reactive power compensation device whose main function is to provide or absorb reactive power to improve the power factor and maintain voltage stability of the new power system.

The AC side of the MMC is connected to the AC power grid, and the DC side of the MMC is connected to the energy storage converter valve. The energy storage converter valve includes multiple sub-modules, each of which may include a battery and a soft-start resistor. Because of energy losses in the soft-start resistor, the charging efficiency of the energy storage converter valve is low, which in turn leads to low startup efficiency of the voltage and inertia support devices.

[0069] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a method for shockless charging of supercapacitors in a grid-type static synchronous condenser, comprising: controlling the actual DC-side voltage of the modular multilevel converter valve according to the DC-side reference voltage of the modular multilevel converter valve in the grid-type static synchronous condenser; controlling the actual DC-side voltage to rise to a preset first voltage threshold according to a preset first rising slope, and performing uncontrolled rectified charging on the supercapacitor converter valve in the grid-type static synchronous condenser; controlling the actual DC-side voltage to rise to a preset second voltage threshold according to a preset second rising slope, and performing shockless charging on the supercapacitor converter valve according to a preset duty cycle; wherein the preset second voltage threshold is greater than the preset first voltage threshold.

[0082] In other embodiments, in S2, the actual DC-side voltage U is controlled according to a preset first rising slope k1. dc Rise to the preset first voltage threshold U dcset1 And perform uncontrolled rectified charging on the supercapacitor converter valve 2, including:

[0083] Shut down all submodules in the supercapacitor converter valve 2, and close the DC switches QF1dc and QF2dc between the modular multilevel converter valve 1 and the supercapacitor converter valve 2.

[0084] The actual DC-side voltage U is controlled according to the preset first rising slope k1. dc As the voltage gradually increases, the supercapacitor SC in the submodule undergoes uncontrolled rectified charging through the anti-parallel diodes of the power devices in the submodule.

The actual DC-side voltage is raised to a preset second voltage threshold according to a preset second rising slope, and shockless charging is performed on the supercapacitor converter valve according to a preset duty cycle. It can be seen that this disclosure improves the charging efficiency of the supercapacitor converter valve by controlling the actual DC-side voltage to charge the supercapacitor converter valve in different ways, thereby improving the start-up efficiency of the grid-type SSR.

[0102] When the actual DC voltage is 0 in this disclosure, closing the DC switch between the modular multilevel converter valve and the supercapacitor converter valve will not cause any voltage or current surges to the supercapacitor converter valve or the AC system connected to the modular multilevel converter valve.

[0103] This disclosure enables the control of DC voltage balance among submodules when the voltage difference between the maximum DC voltage of the shutdown submodule and the minimum DC voltage of the bypassed submodule exceeds a preset third voltage threshold. In this case, the submodule corresponding to the minimum DC voltage of the bypassed submodule is shut down, and the submodule corresponding to the maximum DC voltage of the shutdown submodule is bypassed. This ensures no impact on the AC system during the entire charging process of the supercapacitor converter valve, thus achieving impact-free charging of the supercapacitor converter valve.

[0104] The supercapacitor converter valve of the grid-type static synchronous condenser disclosed herein does not require a separate slow-start resistor, thus avoiding the power loss of the slow-start resistor and further improving the start-up efficiency of the grid-type static synchronous condenser.
