  • Patent number: 10277032
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a fiducial node DC voltage based DC voltage droop control method with dead-band for HVDC grids. Two levels of DC voltage control e.g. primary and secondary DC voltage regulation are introduced to realize load sharing and DC voltage control in HVDC grids. In the process of primary DC voltage regulation, the power flow regulation ability of the entire HVDC grids can be significantly improved, and the DC voltage and stability of the HVDC grids will be quickly controlled and guaranteed for the benefit of droop characteristic. Secondary DC voltage regulation is achieved by by introducing the load-DC voltage controller. In the process of secondary DC voltage regulation, the burden of accommodating power imbalance by the DC voltage fiducial node will be alleviated, thus improving the ability to resist disturbances of the entire HVDC grids.

  • Patent number: 10084387
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an LCC and MMC series-connected HVDC system with DC fault ride-through capacity, comprising rectifier and inverter linked by DC transmission line; Both the positive pole and the negative pole of the rectifier and the inverter consist of line-commutated converter and modular converter in series-connection; the modular converter adopts one MMC or several parallel-connected MMCs. The present invention has the advantage of low cost, low power loss and high reliability of the LCC, as well as flexible control, low harmonics and AC voltage support of the MMC. Further, the present invention is able to deal with DC fault by itself, hence additional DC fault clearing equipment is not needed. As a result, the present invention is suitable for the field of long-distance large-capacity power transmission and has broad development potential.
