Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of flexible direct current transmission and power electronic application, in particular to a device and a method for testing steady-state operation of a converter valve by adopting a capacitor to bear bias voltage.
Background
The flexible direct current transmission system based on the MMC voltage source converter has the excellent performances of supplying power to a passive system or a weak alternating current system, controlling the active power and the reactive power rapidly and independently, being easy to form a multi-terminal network, being environment-friendly and the like, and the harmonic content of the transmission voltage of the MMC-HVDC system is extremely low, and no additional filter is required to be configured, so that the flexible direct current transmission based on the MMC has wide application prospect in the field of power transmission. The MMC-HVDC core component power unit module is the minimum unit of the whole flexible direct-current transmission converter valve, the power unit module forms a valve section, and 6 bridge arms of the converter valve are formed by the valve section.
The reliability of the converter valve directly determines the reliability of the flexible direct current transmission system. In order to ensure that the converter valve can reliably operate under various working conditions of the flexible direct current transmission system, the IEC standard prescribes a type test on the valve section of the converter valve, wherein the type test comprises a steady-state operation test. The method is an indispensable important link in the design link of the flexible direct current transmission engineering, and is an important guarantee of the safe, stable and durable operation of the whole flexible direct current system in the later period.
According to the requirements of actual operation conditions and the specifications of IEC standards, during a test, the voltage at both ends of the converter valve generally comprises a direct-current voltage component and an alternating-current voltage component, and in a typical design, the direct-current voltage component corresponds to half of the rated voltage of the valve section, and the amplitude of the alternating-current voltage component is approximately equal to half of the rated voltage of the valve section. In order to supply power to the valve section and simultaneously generate the required direct-current voltage component, all methods disclosed at present rely on a high-voltage direct-current power supply or an additional converter valve, so that the test cost is obviously increased.
The method in the Chinese patent with publication number CN105372586A, namely a flexible direct current transmission voltage source converter valve operation test device, requires an additional high-voltage direct current rectifying power supply and an additional energy supplementing bridge arm, obviously increases the cost of the test device, and is complicated to control because of asymmetrical systems.
The Chinese patent with publication number of CN106546852A, namely an MMC converter valve steady-state operation test circuit and a control method thereof, requires two extra soft bridge arms to supplement energy, and simultaneously requires a high-voltage direct current rectifying power supply to supply power, thereby obviously increasing test cost.

and step three, waiting for the voltage regulator to rise to the specified voltage, and ending the charging, wherein the voltage of the bridge arm capacitor on the test sample valve is equal to the peak voltage of the alternating current power supply plus the voltage on the series capacitor CL, so that the test can be started.
