Abstract:

Voltage source converter based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) has a broad application prospect in the field of islanded renewable energy transmission, due to its advantages such as no commutation failure. When AC fault occurs in the AC power grid at the sending end of the islanded wind power transmission via VSC-HVDC, AC transient overvoltage occurs after fault clearance, endangering the safety of wind turbine and VSC-HVDC equipment. Taking the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) as an example, this paper focused on the VSC-HVDC based on modular multilevel converter (MMC), and carried out a research on the strategy of suppressing AC transient overvoltage for MMC. Firstly, this paper analyzed the mathematical model of MMC and DFIG, and pointed out that the transient overvoltage was caused by the reactive power provided by MMC and DFIG. On this basis, combined with MMC control system model, a transient overvoltage auxiliary suppression strategy was proposed to reduce the reactive power output according to the AC voltage recovery. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy was verified by simulations on PSCAD using the Zhangbei MMC-HVDC project model.
