Charging Strategy Study of the Second Valve Group of UHV DC Converter Station and Experimental Verification of Prototype
The flexible DC valve group in series is adopted for the flexible DC converter station of ± 800 k V ultra high voltage multi-terminal flexible direct current transmission project(VSC-UHVDC). Each flexible DC valve group consists of a certain proportion of half-bridge power module and full-bridge power module based on MMC structure.The structure of MMC converter valve contains capacitor bank which
before putting into operation
can not operate normally until the charging of the converter valve is completed. In case of operation mode transformation of the flexible DC converter station
such situation as operation of the second valve group may occur. At this time
the DC port of the second valve group is in the short circuit state and the traditional charging strategy cannot be used. In this paper
the charging issue in the operation of the second valve group is analyzed and a kind of charging strategy of the second valve group for the flexible DC converter station is proposed and the experimental verification on the ±10 kV/60 MW half-bridge & full-bridge hybrid modular multi-level converter valve prototype is performed. The result shows that the charging strategy can effectively solve the problem of charging failure in case of switching of the series second valve group of half-bridge and full-bridge hybrid MMC converter.
