Abstract:

To meet the requirements of the intercontinental energy interconnection application, it is needed to develop the ±1 100 kV and 6 250 A ultra-large capacity UHVDC converter valve technology. Based on the existing test capability of China State Grid Corp Key Laboratory (Power System Power Electronics Laboratory), this paper studied the upgrading technologies of test capability, according to the research and development needs of the ultra-large capacity UHVDC converter valve. Through constructing the electromagnetic analysis models of DC and impacting equipment, this paper studied the electric field distribution characteristics and field intensity variation law on the equipment surface； proposed suppression measures for field strength； and completed the promotion of insulation test capability through the methods of optimizing laboratory shielding system, improving the curvature radius of shielding case, etc. According to the running test capability of converter valve, through the works of optimizing rectifier transformer, upgrading water-cooling systems parameters and the topology design of new fault current, the DC current test capability of operation test reached 7500 A, and the fault current test capability reached 60 kA, which completed the promotion of operation test capability. Finally, the test proved the correctness and effectiveness of ±1 100 kV and 6 250 A converter valve test capability.
