Abstract
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.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the technical field of flexible DC transmission of power systems, in particular to a method for initiating a flexible DC transmission system under an isolated island condition.


BACKGROUND

Flexible DC transmission uses a voltage source converter to independently and rapidly control the active power and reactive power of a control system, so as to improve the stability of the system, to control the frequency and voltage fluctuation of the system and to improve the steady-state performance of a grid-connected AC system.


There are numerous offshore islands in China, most AC grids in these islands are weak, and the power output is unstable. The flexible DC transmission has great advantages in the fields of distributed power-generation grid connection, isolated-island power supply, new-energy grid connection, urban-distribution network power supply, and so on. For this reason, the State Grid Corporation of China and the China Southern Power grid Corporation vigorously promote power grid construction in the offshore islands, wherein the State Grid Corporation of China has established the five-terminal flexible DC project in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, and the China Southern Power grid Corporation has established the three-terminal flexible DC project in Nanao, Guangdong Province. When no AC power supply is present in AC grid regions connected to flexible DC converter stations, the flexible DC converter stations need to initiate and operate in an isolated island mode. That is to say, the flexible DC converter stations need to initiate in the isolated island mode if not operating during the power loss of island AC grids. Methods for switching flexible DC systems to island control in the case of power loss of the AC grids during operation of the flexible DC systems have been expounded in most existing documents. For instance, Research on Switching Time Between AC-DC Parallel and Island Operation of VSC-HVDC Transmission System (Wen an, Shi Wenbo, Annual Conference of the Chinese Society of Electrical Engineering, 2014) introduces switching of a sending-end converter station from constant-active power control to constant-frequency control when the system is switched to island operation from AC-DC parallel operation, analyzes the influence of the switching duration of control strategies on the frequency of a sending-end system. Generalized Control Strategy for Grid-connected and Island Operation of VSC-HVDC System (Guan Minyuan, Zhang Jing, Power System Automation, 2015) introduces droop control of the frequency-active power of an AC side and droop control of the active power-DC voltage of a DC side, and puts forward a universal control strategy for grid-connected and island operation of a VSC-HVDC system. A control method during initiation under an isolated island condition is involved in none of the existing documents disclosed.


Therefore, it is necessary to seek out a method for non-disturbance and shockless initiation suitable for island control to realize passive initiation of flexible DC systems during the power loss of the island AC grids


SUMMARY

The objective of the present application is to overcome shortcomings of the prior art by providing a method for initiating a flexible DC transmission system under an isolated island condition.

After the voltage increases to Ua in a first segment, Ua is used as an initial value of the voltage reference wave in a second segment; after the voltage increases to Ub in the second segment, Ub is used as an initial value of the reference wave in a third segment; and Ux≤Ua≤Ub≤ . . . ≤UN, and 1.0 p.u=UN kV.


According to the method for initiating a flexible DC transmission system under an isolated island condition, a voltage increase rate in the first segment is greater than or equal to a voltage increase rate in the second segment, the third segment, and the Nth segment, namely α≥β≥0, α≥γ≥0, α≥ε≥0 kV/s; and meanwhile, as required, α≥2.0 p.u/s, and 1.0 p.u=UN kV. β is the voltage increase rate in the second segment, γ is the voltage increase rate in the third segment, and ε is the voltage increase rate in the Nth segment.


According to the method for initiating a flexible DC transmission system under an isolated island condition, an initial value of a reference wave of a control and protection system meets urefi≤0.4 p.u, namely an initial voltage meets Ux≤0.4 p.u, and 1.0 p.u=UN kV, so that a transformer has a low excitation surge current when charged in an initial segment to prevent protection malfunction.


According to the method for initiating a flexible DC transmission system under an isolated island condition, the number of the segments of a voltage reference wave output meets N≥2.


According to the method for initiating a flexible DC transmission system under an isolated island condition, during zero-voltage initiation, on-load initiation or off-load initiation is fulfilled.
