  • Patent number: 11374411
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11190020
    Abstract: A DC voltage coordination control method is applied to a multi-terminal VSC-HVDC power transmission system or a VSC-HVDC power grid system. When a lower-level control is used in the active power control mode, the active power reference value of the converter is generated according to the converter DC voltage and the converter DC voltage active power curve; it also includes an upper-level control to adjust the control mode and active power setting value of the lower-level control to ensure the steady-state performance of the system. This method has low dependence on communication, avoids the problem that the fixed slope and margin cannot meet all operating conditions, and is suitable for large-scale VSC-HVDC systems, and has scalability.

  • Patent number: 10923906
    Abstract: A fault switch configuration and clearing method in a flexible DC converter station, the flexible DC converter station is configured with a grid side switch and a valve side phase-split switch in the converter station. When a fault occurs, a faulty phase and a non-faulty phase are detected and identified by means of differential protection or low voltage overcurrent. An alternating current zero crossing condition is created by means of firstly turn off the non-faulty phase valve side phase-split switch and the grid side switch, thereby cutting off the faulty phase, disconnecting the connection between a power supply and a fault point, and achieving the clearing for faults. The described fault-clearing method is simple and practical, highly reliable, and connection between the fault point and the power supply is quickly and effectively cut; converter station equipment is effectively protected, and further expansion of the fault is avoided.
