Patent number: 10396561Abstract: The present invention discloses a coordination control method of a multi-terminal VSC-HVDC transmission system. If a direct current voltage master control station shuts down, a direct current voltage control slave station takes over direct current voltage control, and remaining convertor stations keep original control modes. The takeover steps comprise that under the condition that inter-station communications are effective, the master control station sends a shutdown message to the slave station through the inter-station communications, and when the slave station monitors that the direct current voltage master control station shuts down, the slave station switches a current control mode into a direct current voltage control mode; and under the condition that inter-station communications fail or inter-station communications are absent, the slave station monitors changes of the direct current voltage of a system.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2013Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignees: NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD, NR ENGINEERING CO., LTDInventors: Yunlong Dong, Jie Tian, Gang Li, Dongming Cao, Haiying Li, Haibin Liu

Patent number: 10218184Abstract: The present invention provides a method for inhibiting multiple inverter stations from entering a passive control mode in an island state. The method includes dividing inverter stations into groups in advance; a principle for group division is dividing inverter stations whose alternating-current sides are connected to each other through an alternating-current line in a normal running condition into a group; priorities of the inverter stations are preset in each group to tune relevant fixed values of the inverter stations for island detection; a tuning principle is that an inverter station with a higher priority has a more sensitive relevant fixed value, and an island state is more easily detected for the corresponding inverter station; an inverter station for which an island state is detected can enter a passive control mode only when all the other inverter stations with priorities higher than the priority of the inverter station in the group send enabling signals.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignees: NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD., NR ENGINEERING CO., LTD.Inventors: Yunlong Dong, Jie Tian, Dongming Cao, Haiying Li, Jiudong Ding, Zhaoqing Hu, Gang Li, Haibin Liu, Yu Lu

Publication number: 20180219380Abstract: The present invention discloses a passive islanding to grid-connection switching method for a VSC HVDC transmission system. When the VSC HVDC transmission system in an island operation state, whether the VSC HVDC transmission system enters an grid-connection state is determined by detecting whether an overcurrent phenomenon has occurred in a converter valve-side three-phase alternating-current or a converter bridge arm current, and detecting a change status of an alternating-current side voltage. The system is controlled to switch from an island operation control mode to a grid-connection control mode. At a moment of switching, the online control mode is smoothly switched to by changing a power instruction and performing phase tracking on a current grid voltage, so that continuous operation of the system is maintained.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2015Publication date: August 2, 2018Inventors: Yunlong Dong, Jie Tian, Zhaoqing Hu, Haiying Li, Dongming Cao, Haibin Liu, Yu Lu
