The present invention belongs to the technical field of multilevel power electronic converters, and particularly relates to a method for modeling sequence impedance of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) under phase locked loop (PLL) coupling.
With the continuous development of technology, an MMC has the advantages of high output level, low output harmonic, low switching loss, easy modular extension, etc. Therefore, the MMC is more and more widely used in the field of flexible direct current transmission. Different from traditional generators with high damping and large inertia characteristics, if grid-connected inverters with weak damping and low inertia characteristics are used, the equivalent impedance of power grid lines can no longer be ignored. If the equivalent impedance of a converter side does not match the impedance of power grid lines, a resonance phenomenon will occur in a grid-connected cascade system, which will affect the stable and reliable operation thereof.
An MMC-based grid-connected system usually adopts a current closed-loop control strategy, mainly including alternating current side current control, circulating current suppression, PLL, and other control links. However, there are few references to design controller parameters of the MMC from the perspective of system stability, which leads to a blind trial of the controller parameters when applying these control strategies. However, the setting of the controller parameters directly affects the port impedance characteristics of a converter, and also affects the operation stability of the cascade system. Therefore, it is necessary to research an impedance modeling method suitable for an MMC so as to guide the parameter design of an MMC controller.
A mathematical model of the MMC is a time-varying, nonlinear, multi-frequency, and multi-input and multi-output complex system. The traditional small signal modeling method based on a classical control theory cannot be directly applied to the MMC. A state space method based on a modern control theory can effectively model multiple state variables and a coupling relationship between state variables. In recent years, researchers have combined the state space theory with a multi-harmonic linearized theory to form a harmonic state space theory, which has been able to establish a high-precision model for the MMC. However, an MMC grid-connected system based on current closed-loop control is a multi-dimensional coupling model. In addition to the multi-harmonic coupling of the MMC, a double mirror frequency coupling phenomenon exists in a PLL control system. This complex cross-coupling characteristic further improves the complexity of modeling. The existing researches have two deficiencies: on the one hand, a PLL theoretical model for a frequency domain is not well established; on the other hand, the influence of the double frequency mirror coupling characteristic of the PLL on the port impedance characteristic of the MMC needs to be analyzed. Therefore, the impedance modeling method proposed herein has important significance.
In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for modeling sequence impedance of an MMC under PLL coupling. By establishing a relationship model between a frequency-domain PLL phase angle small signal and a q-axis voltage small signal of a power grid, a double mirror frequency coupling effect in the output of a modulation signal in a control link caused by a phase angle disturbance is analyzed. A system model is substituted into a harmonic state space matrix, and a current response in consideration of the interactive coupling of a control system and a converter is calculated. The method comprehensively considers mirror frequency coupling of the control system and multi-harmonic coupling of the MMC, and establishes a precise MMC port impedance model.
The objective of the present invention may be achieved by the following technical solution.
A method for modeling sequence impedance of an MMC under PLL coupling includes the following steps:
S1, establishing a circuit topology model dividing a current-controlled MMC grid-connected system into two parts: a circuit topology and a control link, and acquiring relevant parameters;

S4, deducing a modulation small signal
obtaining modulation small signals of frequency fp output by a phase-a control system and frequency fp∓2f1 generated under the action of PLL coupling according to the control small signals Δed and Δeq and in consideration of a dq/abc transformation formula under a phase angle disturbance;
S5, calculating MMC port impedance
substituting a system model into a harmonic state space matrix, calculating a current response Δig when injecting a voltage disturbance Δug, and finally calculating MMC port impedance according to a port impedance definition.
