    摘要: During initiation under an isolated island condition, the amplitude of a voltage reference wave output generated by a flexible DC transmission control and protection system is in a segmented mode, wherein a first segment of the reference wave amplitude begins at zero or a fixed value Ux and rapidly increases to Ua kV at a rate of a kV/s, avoiding a low output voltage reference wave and high error and harmonic content of a sampled voltage and current. A second segment increases to Ub kV at a rate of β kV/s, a third segment increases to Uc kV at a rate of γ kV/s, and the Nth segment increases to a rated voltage of UN kV at a rate of ε kV/s, thereby achieving non-disturbance and shockless initiation of a flexible DC transmission system under an isolated island condition.

    摘要: The invention relates to an island converter overload limit method and device for a bipolar flexible DC transmission system, and belongs to the field of DC transmission. During stable island operation, both bipolar converters adopt a voltage-frequency droop control strategy; and once it is detected that one converter is overloaded, the control mode of the overloaded converter is automatically switched to active-wattless power control from voltage-frequency droop control to fulfill an overload limit function. The method effectively avoids an overload of the bipolar flexible DC transmission system under island operation, effectively maintains the AC voltage and frequency stable, and has important guiding significance for applying island systems to DC power grids.

    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 current limiting control and protection coordination method for a converter of a flexible direct current transmission system operating in an islanding state, wherein the current output command limit Imax is used to limit the current commands I*Ldq of inner loop dq currents, and in the event of the fault of AC system, Imax is set equal to or slightly larger than a value for an AC line overcurrent protection section III. The value for the II section of the converter bridge arm overcurrent protection is smaller than the value for the II section of the AC line overcurrent protection or the value is equal; the set value for AC line overcurrent protection section I is smaller than the set value for converter bridge arm overcurrent protection section I; the value for proximal AC line overcurrent protection section II is less than or equal to the value for converter bridge arm overcurrent protection section II, and under such condition, the delay is longer than the AC line overcurrent protection section II. At the time of detecting a fault on the connected line side of the converter, the value of current output command limit Imax of the converter is changed from the allowable multiple of output current of the converter under normal condition to the value for the AC line protection section III in the event of fault. And, partial short circuit current is provided by limiting the output current of the converter, the AC fault is removed by the value for AC protection section III without affecting the normal operation of the converter. After the AC side fault is removed, Imax is restored to an allowable multiple of output current of the converter under normal condition. The method of switching Imax is that: pre-setting a series or curve of n groups of two-dimensional numerical values (ULj, Imaxj) (j=1, 2, . . . n), the limit current command value Imax is obtained by using interpolation or lookup table method, to limit the output current value of the converter operating in passive state.
