Current sharing control method for flexible direct-current transmission direct-current converter of offshore wind farm
Technical Field
The invention relates to a control method, in particular to a current sharing control method of a flexible direct current transmission direct current converter of an offshore wind farm, and belongs to the technical field of wind power.
Background
Offshore wind power is the leading-edge field of wind power technology, and is the key field of the development of the international wind power industry at present, and the development of offshore wind power is a great trend. The traditional offshore wind power adopts alternating current grid connection, a wind turbine generator outputs 690V/50Hz alternating current through an alternating current-direct current converter, and the alternating current is boosted by a power frequency transformer and then is converged to an alternating current bus for grid connection through a submarine cable. In recent years, the flexible direct current transmission technology has the advantages of flexible operation control, good power quality and the like, and is applied more and more widely in offshore wind power. The flexible direct current transmission grid-connected technical scheme adopted by the current offshore wind farm power generation system has two types: and the AC bus is controlled in a centralized manner and the DC bus is controlled in a dispersed manner. However, both the problems are the same as the traditional alternating current grid connection, and each wind turbine needs to be provided with a power frequency transformer in a cabin or a tower, so that the problems of heavy cabin, crowded space, difficult construction, operation and maintenance and the like are caused, and the development requirements of offshore wind power cannot be met.
Therefore, the problem can be solved by a brand-new offshore wind farm multi-terminal flexible direct-current power transmission grid-connected system. In the grid-connected system, no matter the double-fed wind turbine generator or the permanent magnet direct-drive wind turbine generator, the converter system comprises a front-end AC/DC part and a rear-end DC/DC direct-current boosting part (called a direct-current grid-side converter GSC), and the direct-current grid-side converter GSC is directly connected with a direct-current high-voltage power grid. The GSC, as one of the key components in the dc transmission system, functions as: when the wind turbine generator works normally, the GSC realizes a direct current boosting function, transmits power generated by the wind driven generator to a direct current power grid, and simultaneously maintains the voltage stability of the low-voltage side of the wind driven generator. Therefore, the GSC can realize direct-current high-gain transformation, so that a power frequency transformer is not needed, the occupied area is small, the loss is low, and the restriction bottleneck of the flexible direct-current transmission system of the offshore wind farm can be effectively solved.
The GSC is a MW-level high-power direct current converter. In order to realize the MW level high power transmission, the GSC must adopt a plurality of direct current converter modules which are connected in parallel. In practical use, however, the parameters of the inductors, capacitors, switching tubes and other devices of each module are not completely consistent due to the manufacturing process, and the switching tubes are not turned on/off synchronously, which causes the problem of non-uniform current. The consequence is: overload occurs to one or some modules, and the modules are damaged due to failure after running for a period of time, so that the whole device is damaged, and the reliability of the system is greatly reduced. Therefore, a current sharing control strategy which is effective and accords with the actual working condition needs to be established.
The current sharing control method is mainly divided into a passive current sharing method and an active current sharing method. The passive current sharing method is also called an output impedance method, realizes current sharing by adjusting the output impedance of the converter, belongs to open-loop control, has the advantages of simple control method and the defect that the method sacrifices the external characteristic of the converter to achieve current sharing and is only suitable for occasions with low load power. The active current sharing method is formed by combining different current sharing control modes and different current sharing bus forming modes, wherein the current sharing control modes are divided into an outer ring adjusting method, an inner ring adjusting method, a double ring adjusting method and an external controller method; from the formation mode of the current-sharing bus, the current-sharing bus can be divided into an averaging method and a master-slave method, and the current-sharing bus has the advantages of higher current-sharing precision and more application occasions, and has the defects of narrower bandwidth of a current-sharing loop, easy instability of a system caused by the existence of the current-sharing bus and higher loss.

From table 1, it can be seen that the inductance L of the pre-converter 3111Inductance L with pre-converter 4121Inductor L of the post-converter 3212L with the subsequent converter 4222The difference between each two is 10%, and the capacitance C of the pre-converter 3111C with pre-converter 4121Capacitor C of the post-converter 3212And a capacitor C of the post-converter 4222Each with a 10% difference, the purpose of which is to simulate the parameter deviations of the actual product.
Fig. 6 and 7 are graphs of simulation results of low-voltage side current and high-voltage side current of two dc converter modules which do not adopt the current sharing control method. From fig. 6, it can be seen that the low side currents of the two modules are 940A and 800A, respectively, while from fig. 7, the high side currents of the two modules are 90A and 110A, respectively. Therefore, under the condition that no current-sharing control measure is taken, the problem of non-uniform current of each module can occur due to the fact that corresponding inductance and capacitance values in the first direct current converter module 3 and the second direct current converter module 4 are deviated.
