Description

一种模块化多电平换流器的充电方法
技术领域
本发明属于电力电子领域, 特别涉及一种模块化多电平换流器的充电方法。 背景技术
模块化多电平换流器采用低电压器件实现高电压输出而不需要开关器件的直接串 联, 避免了串联均压问题, 适用于高压大容量应用, 如适用于柔性直流输电应用场合。 三相模块化多电平换流器(MMC)主电路拓扑结构示意图如图 1 (a)所示, 包含 3个相单 元, 每个相单元包括上下两个桥臂, 每个桥臂由若干个子模块 (SM) 和一个换流电抗器 串联组成。 子模块的结构如图 1 (b)所示, 由一个作为开关元件的 IGBT半桥和一个直流 储能电容 C并联组成,直流储能电容 C还并联放电电阻 R。每个子模块包含三种工作状态, 如图 2所示。 在闭锁状态时, 子模块可以通过二极管的单相导通性进行充电; 在导通状 态时, 子模块可以根据桥臂电流的方向进行充放电; 在关断状态时子模块电容被旁路, 但由于并联放电电阻将缓慢放电。 为了提高可靠性, 每个桥臂中还可包含一定数量的备 用子模块, 每个桥臂的工作子模块数量小于等于桥臂串联子模块数量。
模块化多电平换流器工作前需要将子模块的电容充电至工作电压, 保证换流器正常 解锁时相单元中导通子模块叠加产生的电压与直流侧电压相差较小, 否则会引起较大的 冲击电流, 严重的情况下可能使开关器件损坏。 当通过交流侧充电时, 子模块电容可充 电至工作电压附近, 正常解锁换流器不会引起冲击电流。 但在某些特殊的情况下, 如柔 性直流系统的黑启动情况时,只能通过直流侧为模块化多电平换流器的子模块电容充电。 此时, 解锁前子模块的电容只能充电至工作电压的一半左右, 不能按照正常方式解锁, 因此有必要采用合适的策略防止冲击电流的出现。
丁冠军等人的 "新型模块化多电平 VSC子模块电容参数与均压策略"(中国电机工程 学报, 2009, 29 ( 30), 1〜6) 提及一种利用辅助电源的充电方法 (方法一)。 该方法选 取与子模块额定电压相近的直流电压源, 将其跨接于换流器直流侧正负极之间, 通过控 制子模块的投入和切除, 使得子模块电容电压升至额定值附近。
汤广福, 孔明等人的 "一种模块化多电平换流器柔性直流输电系统的起动方法"(专 利申请阶段, 申请公布号: CN 201110100456. 1 ), 提及了一端有源系统为两站换流器充 电的柔性直流系统起动过程 (方法二)。 首先由有源端换流器 (站 1 ) 不可控充电建立直 流电压, 在两站子模块电压趋于稳定后解锁站 2换流器, 在站 2换流器的子模块电容电 压趋于稳定后闭合站 1的旁路电阻隔刀, 随后解锁站 1换流器, 最后通过同期方式实现 站 2换流器并网。
上述方法一存在的缺点在于: 换流器桥臂 /相充电过程中, 一次只能对一个子模块进 行充电, 在限流电阻下需要一定的时间, 整个换流器的充电时间较长, 在所有子模块充 电完成后, 较早充电的子模块因并联放电电阻的缓慢放电可能出现电压偏低; 同时分别 对每个子模块的充电过程复杂, 需要设置复杂的阀控策略。 上述方法二存在的缺点在于: 起动过程需要两站之间的配合, 在控制不当时可能产生严重的冲击电流; 解锁站 2时交 流限流电阻仍串入线路, 可以减小站 1的过电流, 但解锁瞬间站 2的直流电压跌落为解 锁前的一半, 站 2换流器会出现短暂的冲击电流。
针对前述现有技术的不足, 本案由此产生。 发明内容

按照本发明中的充电方法, 以单相模块化多电平换流器为例, 对充电过程实现方式 进行说明:
单相模块化多电平换流器的系统结构及本发明提出的充电方法实现换流器充电的逻 辑框图如图 3所示。 单相模块化多电平换流器包含一个相单元, 该相单元由上、 下两个 桥臂组成, 各桥臂由 2个结构相同的子模块与一个电抗器串联而成, 所述子模块由 IGBT 半桥和电容器并联而成, 可工作在导通、 关断和闭锁三种状态。 每个桥臂采用单独的阀 控装置, 分别为阀控 1和阀控 2。 阀控 1接收上桥臂导通子模块数量指令 N„、 采集上桥 臂各子模块的电容电压值并计算出平均值^ 4以及使用排序均压算法选择 N„个电容电压 较小的子模块导通, 其余子模块关断, 产生各子模块的 IGBT控制信号; 阀控 2接收下桥 臂导通子模块数量指令 N 、 采集下桥臂各子模块的电容电压值并计算出平均值 以及 使用排序均压算法选择 N个电容电压较小的子模块导通, 其余子模块关断, 产生各子模 块的 IGBT控制信号。 上桥臂的电流测量值为 /ω, 下桥臂的电流测量值为 2, 换流器的 直流侧电压值为 t^。 上桥臂导通子模块数量 和下桥臂导通子模块数量 根据充电流 程产生的相单元导通子模块数 N 法如下:
Figure imgf000007_0001
按照图 4提供的具体充电流程, 首先为换流器的直流侧带电使直流电压缓慢升高至 400V,各子模块的电容电压将同步升高最终稳定在 100V。由于设计的最小取能电压小于该 电压, 子模块驱动将实现取能并正常工作。
随后解锁换流器, 导通所有子模块即 4个子模块均处于导通状态 (N = 4 ), 由于子 模块叠加产生的电压等于 400V, 解锁换流器时不会有任何冲击电流。 解锁后控制相单元中导通子模块的数量减少 1个(N = 3 ), 此时上桥臂导通 1个子 模块, 下桥臂导通 2个子模块。 由于导通子模块叠加产生的电压和为 300V, 小于直流电 压 400V, 导通子模块的电容电压升高。 由于上桥臂采用排序均压算法, 优先导通子模块 电压较低的子模块, 因此上桥臂的两个子模块在充电流程的每个执行周期轮流导通使子 模块电容电压逐渐升高。
设定子模块桥臂过流定值 /srfl和返回定值 /s 分别为 100A和 90A,在上述子模块电容 电压上升过程中, 当检测到桥臂电流 /^或/^2大于定值 100A时, 控制导通子模块的数量 增加 1个 (W = 4 )使子模块叠加产生的电压和增加, 此时将大于 400V, 能够抑制过流。 在抑制过流过程中, 子模块电压仍然能够升高。 在桥臂电流 /^和/^2的都小于 90A后, 控制导通子模块的数量减少 1个(N = 3 )使子模块电容电压继续升高, 直至最终稳定在 当子模块电压稳定后, 继续减少相单元中导通子模块的数量 1个 (N = 2 ), 此时上 桥臂导通 1个子模块, 下桥臂导通 1个子模块, 子模块叠加产生的电压和为 266. 66V, 小 于直流电压 400V, 导通的子模块电容电压继续升高。 由于采用排序均压算法, 桥臂中的 两个子模块轮流导通升高。
在上述子模块电容电压上升过程中, 当检测到桥臂电流 /^或/^2大于定值 100A时, 控制导通子模块的数量增加 1个(N = 3 )使子模块叠加产生的电压和增加, 此时将大于 400V, 能够抑制过流。 在抑制过流过程中, 子模块电压仍然能够升高。 在桥臂电流 /^和
/fc2的都小于 90A后, 控制导通子模块的数量减少 1个 (N = 2 ) 使子模块电容电压继续 升高, 直至最终稳定在 200V。 此时满足充电结束条件, 保持导通子模块的数量恒定 ( N = 2 ) , 平稳过度至正常运行状态。
本发明提供的充电方法同样适用于具有多个相单元的模块化多电平换流器, 不同之 处在于, 换流器以导通所有子模块方式解锁完成后, 每个相单元独立进行充电过程。
以上实施例仅为说明本发明的技术思想, 不能以此限定本发明的保护范围, 凡是按 照本发明提出的技术思想, 在技术方案基础上所做的任何改动, 均落入本发明保护范围 之内。
