Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of power system automation, in particular to a combined current-limiting type direct current breaker for a direct current power grid.

Background

With the increase of new energy grid-connection consumption demand, the high-voltage direct-current power grid is widely concerned as an effective means for new energy grid connection and high-power long-distance power transmission, wherein the modular multilevel converter based on the voltage source commutation technology has the advantages of PQ decoupling control, low harmonic level, capability of supplying power for a passive system and the like, has no troubles of commutation failure, reactive compensation and the like, and becomes a primary choice for forming the multi-terminal direct-current power grid.

However, the MMC has many problems to be solved urgently in the process of constructing the direct-current power grid, such as fault protection. At the moment when a direct current power grid fails, the capacitance of the MMC sub-module is rapidly discharged to a fault point, the fault current can be increased to dozens of kiloamperes within milliseconds, the reliability of a power electronic device is reduced, and the stability of a system is greatly influenced. When in fault, the direct current voltage is rapidly reduced, and fault current has no natural zero crossing point, so that the fault current is difficult to clear, and the direct current network is seriously influenced. In addition, the overhead line fault rate of the possible large-scale application in the future is higher, which puts higher requirements on the effectiveness and the economy of a direct current fault isolation scheme. The hybrid direct current circuit breaker has the advantages of small on-state loss, short on-off time, no arc on-off current and the like, is one of the most potential fault protection elements, but economic benefit limits the popularization and application of the hybrid direct current circuit breaker.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following.

On the basis of the existing research, the invention provides a combined current-limiting type direct current breaker for a direct current power grid, and the basic topological structure of the direct current breaker is shown in figure 1.

The direct current breaker mainly comprises a current-carrying transfer branch and a current-limiting blocking branch CLB. The load flow transfer branch is formed by serially connecting an ultra-fast mechanical switch UFD and a load flow conversion switch LCS, and the LCS is formed by serially connecting a plurality of reverse serially-connected IGBTs. The current-limiting blocking branch consists of a current-limiting branch, a main breaker branch MB and an energy absorption branch, and the current-limiting branch consists of a charging capacitor C, charging resistors R1 and R2, a current-limiting reactor CLR and four identical thyristors which are connected in series and in parallel with each other and are divided into components T1-T4. A plurality of reverse series-parallel IGBTs constitute MB for switching off fault currents. The energy absorption branch is composed of a metal oxide arrester MOV and used for absorbing residual energy.

The combined current-limiting type direct current breaker is arranged at an outlet of the converter station, a node A1 is connected with a direct current bus, and the connection mode of a node A2 is related to the direct current converter valve topology and the alternating current valve side grounding mode. If the direct current power grid is a true bipolar system with two poles capable of independently operating, the node A2 is connected with a neutral bus of the grounding electrode, and the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the direct current bus outlet of the converter station are respectively connected with a direct current breaker.

If the dc grid is a pseudo-bipolar system (symmetrical monopole configuration), the connection point of node a2 is related to the grounding mode of the ac side of the valves of the system converter station. If the alternating current side of the converter valve is grounded, a fault point can form a fault current path with an alternating current grounding point after a single-pole fault, the same as the true bipolar situation, the node A2 is connected with a neutral bus of a grounding electrode, and two breakers are respectively arranged at two poles at a direct current outlet of the converter station. If the alternating current side of the converter valve is not grounded, a single-pole fault point cannot form a current path through alternating current grounding, no short-circuit current exists, only a zero potential point of a direct current system is deviated, the voltage of a positive electrode and a normal electrode is increased, and the system can still keep normal operation, so that the system only generates short-circuit current after bipolar fault, A2 is connected with another direct current bus, namely only one direct current breaker is arranged at the outlet of the converter station, and the direct current breaker only responds to the bipolar short-circuit fault.

The specific functions of each branch of the dc circuit breaker are as follows:

1) the current-carrying transfer branch circuit is connected in series with two ends of the direct current circuit and can be switched on and off in a bidirectional mode. When the system normally operates, the system is used for circulating normal working current; and after the circuit breaker detects a line fault, the LCS auxiliary switch is disconnected and a turn-off signal is applied to the UFD, the UFD can cut off the line at zero current, and the non-arc breaking is completed by delaying Tmtd (2 ms) after the circuit breaker starts to act.

2) The current-limiting blocking branch circuit is a core component of the combined current-limiting type direct current circuit breaker. The voltage difference between the nodes A1 and A2 is larger, and considering that the thyristors have the advantages of large capacity, low manufacturing cost and the like, the voltage under the normal operation condition can be shared by a small number of thyristors, so that the operation reliability of the circuit breaker is improved.

The CLR and the charging resistor in the current-limiting blocking branch can increase the impedance value of the branch and reduce the change rate of fault current. However, at the moment of opening the LCS, the larger the branch impedance value is, the larger the initial overvoltage value UN _ LCS on both sides of the LCS is. In order to reduce the impedance value of the current limiting blocking branch circuit at the moment of LCS disconnection, the charging resistor is short-circuited before LCS disconnection, and the charging resistor is put into the branch circuit before MB disconnection, so that the charging resistor needs to be switched between a short-circuit state and a series-connection state.

The thyristor can be used to complete the switching and converting process of the charging resistor, but because the thyristor can not be cut off bidirectionally, an external power supply is required to discharge to force the thyristor to change phases. The four sub-components are switched on and off by adopting simple external circuit pre-charging and discharging and reverse discharging of the charging capacitor C, so that the aim of blocking the branch circuit by the charging resistor in a step-by-step input flow-limiting mode is fulfilled, the voltage of the direct-current bus is gradually recovered, and the time for the bus voltage to drop is shortened. The charging point resistor and the CLR can dissipate a part of residual energy after the MB branch is disconnected.

First, taking the occurrence of a fault in a dc transmission line as an example, a fault handling strategy of a combined current limiting type dc circuit breaker is introduced, wherein a fault current flowing through a current limiting branch is shown in fig. 3.

1) At time t0, the dc line is faulted, and at time t1 the system detects a fault current. After a short time delay, the IGBT in the MB branch is turned on at time T2, T1 and T3 are triggered, the LCS module is turned off, a switching signal is applied to the UFD, and the current is transferred to the current-limiting blocking branch.

2) At time T3, T4 is triggered, the charging resistor R2 is connected in series with the branch, the charging capacitor starts to discharge, and the direction of the discharging current is opposite to that of the fault current. The fault current is gradually transferred to the branch T4 from the branch T3 until the fault current is completely transferred to the branch T4, and the charging capacitor is reversely charged.

3) At time T4, T2 is triggered, and the charging resistor R1 is connected in series with the branch circuit, where the discharging direction of the charging capacitor is opposite to that of process 2). The fault current is gradually diverted from T1 to T2 until the fault current is completely diverted to the T2 branch. The duration of the thyristor commutation process is about 2ms, which is the same as the time for opening the UFD to the rated open distance.

4) At the time t5, a turn-off signal is applied to the IGBT in the MB branch circuit, the fault current is immediately transferred to the arrester MOV, the arrester absorbs residual energy, and the fault current is reduced to 0 at the time t 6.

5) After the fault is removed, the charging capacitor is precharged again after tens of milliseconds, so that the charging capacitor is restored to the original state capable of converting current and is ready for the next conversion.

The control sequence of each element of the combined current-limiting type direct current breaker is shown in figure 2. During the above operation, t₀～t₁For fault detection time, it is generally less than 1ms, t₁～t₂Interval 0.05ms, t₂～t₃At an interval of 0.5ms, t₃～t₄At intervals of 1ms, t₄～t₅At intervals of 1ms, t₅～t₆The interval is 1.5ms, and the total time from the occurrence of the fault to the isolation of the fault by the DC circuit breaker is about 5 ms.

Under the non-fault condition, when the line is overhauled or the grid structure is changed, the direct current circuit breaker can be used for switching on and switching off the normal direct current, and the power transmission line is isolated. At this time the current does not increase rapidly in a short time like the fault short-circuit current,the LCS has higher voltage bearing level and the capability of breaking normal current, thereby simplifying the breaking process: t for DC circuit breaker at two ends of line₁、T₃And applying a trigger signal to conduct the MB branch, applying a turn-off signal to the LCS and the UFD, and transferring the current to the MB loop. The UFD is opened to a rated opening distance, the MB branch is disconnected, the MOV absorbs residual energy, and the control sequence of the circuit breaker is shown in a figure 4.

In the future, most of direct-current power grid transmission lines are overhead lines, and the fault type is that the instantaneous fault probability is high, so that reclosing needs to be considered in the fault strategy of the direct-current circuit breaker. If the fault is superposed on the permanent fault, the system may be subjected to the impact of short-circuit current again, the service life of the circuit breaker is influenced, and the fault type needs to be accurately judged before the superposition. The strategy provided by the scheme temporarily adopts a simpler current rapid detection method, firstly, a far side of a fault point is set as a current detection side, and the other side of the fault point is set as a closing side. After a current-carrying transfer branch of the circuit breaker on the reclosing current detection side, a fault current change value is detected: h-didt

1) After the circuit breaker is disconnected due to a fault, in order to ensure that the circuit breaker can recover the insulation performance, the trip free time at least longer than 100ms needs to be waited, and the trip free time is set to 200 ms. When the circuit breaker is overlapped with a permanent fault, the fault current continuously rises, and the detection time is 0.5ms for reducing the breaking current when the circuit breaker acts again and shortening the development time of the fault current. To improve reliability, the detection time of the instantaneous fault may be set to 2.5 ms. t is t₇Starting a reclosing program at the moment, if the change value H of the current is greater than a preset threshold value H within 0.5ms of a branch at the reclosing current detection side, judging that the fault is a permanent fault, and t₈And breaking a current-carrying transfer branch of the circuit breaker at any time, isolating a fault line, and overhauling and stopping the line. If the current change still does not reach the threshold value H within 2.5ms, the fault type is judged to be an instantaneous fault, t₉And the current-carrying transfer branch of the circuit breaker on the other side is overlapped at any moment, the reclosing is finished, and the system recovers to normal operation. The reclosing flow diagram is shown in figure 5.

2) After the breaker is disconnected under normal conditions, the fault type does not need to be detected in principle, and the UFD and LCS switches on two sides can be closed when needed. For the sake of safety, the transmission line can still be detected according to the above process, and the current detection side can be any side.

The direct current fault strategy provided by the invention only aims at line faults, and in addition, when the direct current circuit breaker is used for isolating faults, in order to avoid the converter station from being locked due to overlarge bridge arm current, the on-off current of the combined current limiting type direct current circuit breaker needs to be coordinated with the converter station.

In a direct-current power grid formed by half-bridge converter stations, by taking the occurrence of unipolar metal ground faults as an example, the fault current i is solved_dcThe circuit equivalent diagram of (1) is shown in fig. 6. R₀For losses of switching devices and bridge arm reactors, L₀Is a bridge arm reactance, C₀Is the sub-module capacitance value, N is the sub-module number, R_dcEquivalent resistance of overhead line of DC power grid, L_dcEquivalent reactance, U, of neutral impedance and current-limiting reactance of DC network frame_dcAnd I₀The dc side voltage and the line current are respectively in normal operation.

Wherein:

generally, R when the metal is grounded_dcLess than R at non-metal grounding (small resistance, large resistance grounding) fault at same position_dc. Compared with the metal grounding, the non-metal grounding has smaller fault current and larger voltage value of a fault point. The influence of non-metallic grounding on the circuit breaker is: u shape_{N_LCS}Numerical value is moreAnd when the current is large, the fault current of the cut-off of the current-limiting blocking branch is smaller, and the voltage of other elements is influenced to a certain extent but is within the rated range. Therefore, when the design parameters of the direct current circuit breaker are calculated, the maximum breaking current I of the circuit breaker required by the direct current power grid is calculated by taking metal grounding as an example_NCalculating the rated voltage U of the breaker required by the DC power grid by taking large-resistance grounding as an example_N。

Theoretically, the larger the CLR value, the better the current limiting effect, but at the moment of the current limiting blocking branch (current carrying transfer branch is disconnected), the U is_{N_LCS}Magnitude and current limiting blocking branch impedance value (L)_CLR) The CLR is not connected in series with the direct current line, the value of the CLR is not restricted by the stability of the system, but the larger the CLR value is, the more energy is stored in the CLR value, the dissipation speed is influenced, and the flexibility of the current-limiting blocking branch is influenced. But the voltage of the MB branch is greater than U_{N_LCS}Compared with the reduction of the number of IGBTs connected in series by the LCS, the reduction of the number of IGBTs connected in parallel by the MB is higher in economic benefit. Thus L_CLRIt should not be too large or too small. The value is set here to be the same as the transmission line inductance value:

L_CLR＝L_dc

from the foregoing analysis, U_{N_LCS}And is positively correlated with the impedance value of the current-limiting blocking branch. At the moment of LCS disconnection, the charging resistor is short-circuited, and the impedance in the branch consists of IGBT, thyristor and CLR with small on-state loss, so that U is formed_{N_LCS}Mainly determined by the voltage on both sides of the CLR at the moment of switching on and off:

U_{N_LCS}＝L_CLRdi_dc/dt|t＝t₂

the size of the charging capacitor C determines the discharging speed and the time for the charging resistor to be put into the current-limiting blocking branch circuit. t is t₃Trigger T₄When passing through T₄Current of (I)₄：

In the formula I_dc1Is t ═ t₃Time i_dcNumerical value of (t), U_CFor charging electricityPre-charge voltage of capacitor C with time constant tau-R₂C. The combined current-limiting type direct current circuit breaker requires the capacitor C to complete the charging and discharging process within 1ms, and the capacitor can complete the discharging process within 4 time periods, namely the value of the capacitor C meets the following expression:

t＝4τ＝4R₂C≤1ms

the maximum value of the C value is:

C＝14000R₂

formula (III) C, R₂The units of (a) and (b) are F and omega, respectively.

When R is₂When C is a fixed value, if U is_CSmaller, too small discharge current may result in I₂、I₄The current can not be reduced to 0, so that the problem of abnormal current conversion is caused, and the current limiting effect is influenced. In order to ensure the normal operation of the commutation process, the pre-charging capacitor should not be too small:

U_C≥R₂I_dc1

although the current limiting effect is more obvious when the charging resistance value is larger, R is shown by the above formula₂The larger the value, the smaller the C value, U_CThe larger the voltage resistance of the charging capacitor, the larger the price and volume of C. So R₂Cannot be too large, considering the voltage-sharing control of the thyristor, R₁、R₂Should be the same, here it is set as:

in the formula of U_CLRThe maximum voltage across CLR after MB is turned off.

The number of main power electronic devices IGBT and thyristor of the combined current-limiting type direct current breaker is calculated. Calculating the parameters of DC breaker needed by DC network in advance, such as initial value overvoltage U of breaker LCS at fault moment_{N_LCS}LCS switching-on/off instantaneous current I_{N_LCS}MB with a maximum open-end current of I_NRated voltage U of DC circuit breaker_NThyristor-shared voltage to ground U_{N_T}And the like. The rated voltage and rated current of IGBT are respectively V_CES、 I_CRated voltage of thyristor is V_SCRRated current of I_TR. The number of IGBTs required by the LCS is:

wherein the LCS is connected in series with the transmission line and can be opened and closed bidirectionally, so that the direction coefficient k_d＝2；

The total number of the current-limiting blocking branch thyristors is as follows:

in order to achieve the purpose of current conversion, thyristors need to be connected in series in a reverse direction, and the direction coefficient k is_d＝2。

The direct current breaker only needs the fault current which is cut off in one direction, and the direction coefficient k is_d＝1。

The maximum voltage stress across the arrester, i.e. the level of protection of the arrester, is generally the rated voltage E of the arrester_MOV1.5-2 times of the total amount of the active component. After the MB branch is disconnected, in order to avoid the lightning arrester from being broken down due to overhigh voltage, the rated voltage of the lightning arrester is set as the rated voltage of the line:

U_MOV＝U_N
