    摘要: A DC voltage coordination control method is applied to a multi-terminal VSC-HVDC power transmission system or a VSC-HVDC power grid system. When a lower-level control is used in the active power control mode, the active power reference value of the converter is generated according to the converter DC voltage and the converter DC voltage active power curve; it also includes an upper-level control to adjust the control mode and active power setting value of the lower-level control to ensure the steady-state performance of the system. This method has low dependence on communication, avoids the problem that the fixed slope and margin cannot meet all operating conditions, and is suitable for large-scale VSC-HVDC systems, and has scalability.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a coordination control method of a multi-terminal VSC-HVDC transmission system. If a direct current voltage master control station shuts down, a direct current voltage control slave station takes over direct current voltage control, and remaining convertor stations keep original control modes. The takeover steps comprise that under the condition that inter-station communications are effective, the master control station sends a shutdown message to the slave station through the inter-station communications, and when the slave station monitors that the direct current voltage master control station shuts down, the slave station switches a current control mode into a direct current voltage control mode; and under the condition that inter-station communications fail or inter-station communications are absent, the slave station monitors changes of the direct current voltage of a system.

    摘要: A fault switch configuration and clearing method in a flexible DC converter station, the flexible DC converter station is configured with a grid side switch and a valve side phase-split switch in the converter station. When a fault occurs, a faulty phase and a non-faulty phase are detected and identified by means of differential protection or low voltage overcurrent. An alternating current zero crossing condition is created by means of firstly turn off the non-faulty phase valve side phase-split switch and the grid side switch, thereby cutting off the faulty phase, disconnecting the connection between a power supply and a fault point, and achieving the clearing for faults. The described fault-clearing method is simple and practical, highly reliable, and connection between the fault point and the power supply is quickly and effectively cut; converter station equipment is effectively protected, and further expansion of the fault is avoided.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a charging method for a sub-module based hybrid converter. By setting a half-controlled charging link of half-blocking all full bridge sub-modules in a charging process, and raising the voltages of half bridge sub-modules to reach the starting point of a half bridge sub-module based self-powered supply in an uncontrolled stage of the half bridge sub-modules, the starting point of the sub-module based self-powered supply is increased, and the design difficulty of the sub-module based self-powered supply is reduced. The present invention also discloses another charging method for a sub-module based hybrid converter. The above objective can also be achieved by setting a half-controlled charging link of bypassing all full bridge sub-modules in the charging process.

    摘要: A starting and stopping method for a static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is provided. A starting process includes: connecting a converter to a shunt transformer, and closing a breaker which connect the AC system and the shunt transformer to charge the converter until the DC voltage is stable; opening the breaker, and connecting the converter to a series transformer through a change-over switch; and deblocking the converter, and controlling a current of a bypass switch of the series transformer to approach zero. A stopping process includes: switching a control mode of the converter to make the current of the bypass switch approaches zero when closed the bypass switch, then controlling a current of the series transformer to be gradually reduced to zero to make the series transformer out of service, and blocking the converter.
