Definitions

  • This invention relates to a DC power grid for use in high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission.
  • HVDC high voltage direct current
  • alternating current (AC) power is typically converted to direct current (DC) power for transmission via overhead lines and/or under-sea cables. This conversion reduces the cost per kilometre of the lines and/or cables, and thus becomes cost-effective when power needs to be transmitted over a long distance.
  • Multi-terminal DC transmission and distribution grids are needed to support the emergence of HVDC power transmission.
  • the interconnection between different terminals of a DC power grid to permit power flow within the DC power grid however means that a fault or other abnormal operating condition in one part of a DC power grid could influence power flow within the DC power grid and thereby adversely affect the operation of the remaining parts of the DC power grid.
  • a DC power grid for use in high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission comprising a plurality of terminals, each terminal being configured to import power from or export power to at least one other terminal, and a plurality of control units, each control unit being operably associated with a respective one of the terminals and being configured to selectively control the respective terminal to increase its voltage in response to an increase in imported or exported current at the respective terminal and to decrease its voltage in response to a decrease in imported or exported current at the respective terminal.
  • HVDC high voltage direct current
  • the increase in voltage of a terminal with increasing imported current and the decrease in voltage of a terminal with decreasing imported current when the terminal imports power are referred to as a positive-type droop characteristic.
  • Controlling each terminal of the DC power grid in accordance with a positive-type droop characteristic has not only been found to allow the DC power grid to respond to transient changes in power flow within the DC power grid, but also has been found to eliminate the risk of power flow reversal between terminals. This improves the reliability of the DC power grid, which reduces the risk of part or whole of the DC power grid going offline unnecessarily, and thereby minimises costs of repair and maintenance of the DC power grid and inconvenience to end users relying on the working of the DC power grid.
  • the configuration of the plurality of control units in the manner set out above enables local and autonomous control of the voltage at each terminal, which eliminates the need for a global control unit to govern the operation of all of the individual control units. This in turn allows each control unit to respond rapidly to changes in power flow within the DC power grid, since there is no delay resulting from telecommunications between each individual control unit and the global control unit. This also reduces the complexity and costs associated with designing and building the DC power grid, since there is no need for installation of a global control unit and communication cables linking the individual control units and the global control unit.
  • control units results in a DC power grid that is readily scalable to include a small or large number of terminals without requiring substantial redesign of the DC power grid.
  • the imported or exported current at the respective terminal increases when one or more terminals are blocked and/or disconnected from the DC power grid in response to a fault occurring, in use, in the DC power grid.
  • the capability of the DC power grid to respond to transient changes in power flow as set out above allows one or more terminals to be blocked and/or disconnected from the DC power grid to allow isolation and repair of the fault in the DC power grid without interrupting the operation of the remaining terminals of the DC power grid.
  • a terminal may be blocked by, for example, turning off IGBTs in a power electronic converter, while a terminal may be disconnected from the DC power grid using, for example, a DC circuit breaker.
  • Each control unit is preferably configured to selectively control the respective terminal to increase its voltage to achieve power flow equilibrium between the plurality of terminals in response to an increase in imported or exported current at the respective terminal.
  • each control unit to carry out local and autonomous control of the voltage at the corresponding terminal allows power flow equilibrium between terminals of the DC power grid to be achieved in a relatively short amount of time, particularly in cases of a fault occurring within the DC power grid or stochastic changes in imported or exported power due to, for example, intermittent power generation such as wind-farm power generation, where time delays due to telecommunications with a global control unit are too long to be admissible. Otherwise, in the event of one or more terminals being blocked and disconnected from the DC power grid, a slow response to the subsequent changes in power flow within the DC power grid may result in unstable and unreliable operation of the remaining unblocked terminals of the DC power grid.
  • each control unit may include an over-current detection apparatus configured to detect a change in imported or exported current at the respective terminal.
  • the over- current detection apparatus may be replaced with any other type of equipment that is capable of detecting changes in current.
  • the structure of the DC power grid may vary depending on a number of factors including, for example, end-user requirements and availability of power sources.
  • Each terminal preferably includes a converter station or any other apparatus that is capable of importing or exporting power within a DC power grid.
  • the capability of the converter station to facilitate power conversion between AC and DC networks or DC and DC networks permits connection of AC networks and other DC networks to the DC power grid.

  • Figure 2 illustrates the voltage droop characteristics of the three terminals of the DC power grid of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 shows the DC power grid of Figure 1, in which a terminal is blocked and disconnected from the DC power grid;

  • a short circuit occurring in the DC power grid 10 causes high fault current to flow at one or more terminals 12,14,16, which could result in damage to these terminals 12,14,16.

  • This thereby increases the voltage at the third terminal 16 and thereby reduces the voltage difference between the first and third terminals 12,16.
  • this results in new stable operating voltages at the first and third terminals 12,16 and a reduction in power transferred between the first and third terminals 12,16.

  • the aforementioned control of the voltage of each terminal of the DC power grid in accordance with a positive-type droop characteristic not only eliminates the risk of power reversal between terminals during changes in power flow within the DC power grid, but is also relatively straightforward to design and implement, since there is no requirement to move the positive-type droop characteristic along its voltage axis.

  • This allows the voltage at each terminal 12,14,16 to be rapidly modified in response to transient changes in power flow within the DC power grid 10, since there is no delay resulting from telecommunications between each individual terminal and the global control unit.
  • This also reduces the complexity and costs associated with designing and building the DC power grid 10 since there is no need for installation of a global control unit that acts to modify the voltage of each terminal in response to transient changes in power flow within the DC power grid, and communication cables linking the individual terminals and the global control unit.
  • the DC power grid include a plurality of terminals and a plurality of control units, the number of terminals and control units being dependent on the requirements and capabilities of power applications associated with the DC power grid. This is because the structure of the DC power grid in Figure 1 is readily scalable to include a small or large number of terminals without requiring substantial redesign of the DC power grid.
