    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: 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: Disclosed in the present invention is a hybrid back-to-back direct current transmission system. The system includes an LCC converter and a VSC converter in a back-to-back connection, and a first changeover switch, a second changeover switch, a third changeover switch and a fourth changeover switch. The first changeover switch is connected to a first alternating current system and the LCC converter; the second changeover switch is connected to the first alternating current system and the VSC converter; the third changeover switch is connected to a second alternating current system and the VSC converter; and the fourth changeover switch is connected to the second alternating current system and the LCC converter. In forward power delivery, the first changeover switch and the third changeover switch are closed; and in reverse power delivery, the second changeover switch and the fourth changeover switch are closed. Thereby, it is ensured that the VSC converter always performs inversion operation in any power direction, so as to avoid the problem of potential commutation failure for the LCC converter when being in inversion operation. Also provided is a fast power flow reversal control method of the hybrid back-to-back direct current transmission system.
