    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 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: Disclosed are a control method and system for a parallel converter system, including a common AC voltage controller and a separate current controller for each converter; the AC voltage controller generates an active current, a wattless current, and a system voltage phase reference value and, by means of communication, sends same to the current controller of each converter in island control mode to be a converter control signal; the active and wattless current outputted by each converter, along with the corresponding current reference value, accomplish the objective of the parallel converter system collectively controlling the amplitude and frequency of an AC bus voltage. The method and system are highly reliable and effectively ensure the synchronization of a plurality of converters.

    摘要: A method for incorporating a non-operating station into an operating system in a multi-terminal flexible DC transmission system. The method includes selecting a STATCOM operation mode for the non-operating station; opening a bypass switch at an AC side and connecting a charging resistor to an AC line; closing the AC incoming-line breaker, and pre-charging a converter valve of the non-operating station through the resistor; closing the bypass switch after the pre-charging; selecting a constant-DC voltage control mode for the non-operating station to perform deblocking; controlling the difference between a non-operating station DC voltage value and an operating system direct voltage value to be within an allowable range; closing the pole-connection device at the DC side of a converter of the non-operating station; and switching the non-operating station from the STATCOM operation mode to a DC operation mode, and incorporating the non-operating station into the operating system.
