    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: 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: A coordinated control method for series voltage source converter valve groups comprises: allocating a total direct-current voltage reference value or a total active power reference value at the end where a direct-current electrode series voltage source converter valve group is located according to the total number of voltage source converter valve groups in series; for a direct-current voltage control end, controlling the direct-current voltage of each valve group according to the assigned direct-current voltage reference value for each valve group; for an active power control end, controlling the active power of each valve group according to the assigned active power reference value for each valve group and based on adding the active power compensation amount of the valve group which has voltage equalization effects on the valve group. Correspondingly, also providing a coordinated control device for series voltage source converter valve groups. The direct-current voltage equalization of each valve group in operation of the direct-current voltage control end or the active power control end of the series voltage source converter valve group is achieved.
