    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: 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.
