DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INTENTION

(6) The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail in combination with drawings and specific embodiments.

(7) A coordination control method of a multi-terminal VSC-HVDC power transmission system provided in the present invention combines an inter-station communication function and a direct current voltage deviation-based coordination control method, in a direct current power transmission system, usually one direct current voltage master control station and at least one direct current voltage control slave station are arranged, others serve as common converter stations, the direct current voltage master control station and the direct current voltage control slave stations are connected by inter-station communications, but the common converter stations are connected with the direct current voltage master control station or the direct current voltage control slave station by the inter-stations communications or not; when control is realized, the direct current voltage master control station controls the direct current voltage of the whole system, that is, performs direct current voltage control, and the direct current voltage control slave station and all the common converter stations select the active power control or frequency control modes; if the direct current voltage master control station shuts down, the direct current voltage control slave station takes over direct current voltage control, and the remaining common converter stations keep original control modes. When two or more direct current voltage control slave stations are arranged, the direct current voltage control slave stations take over the direct current voltage control according to a predetermined priority. The takeover steps are as follows:

(8) (1) under the condition that inter-station communications are effective, the master control station sends a shutdown message to the slave station through the inter-station communications, when the slave station monitors that the direct current voltage master control station shuts down, the slave station switches from its current control mode the into the direct current voltage control mode, a direct current voltage command value is a rated value or a current operation value; and shutdown information is shutdown state, shutting state, alternative current switch separation or electrode isolation or all information indicating that the converter station is not able to operate normally; and

(9) (2) under the condition that inter-station communications fail or inter-station communications are absent, the slave station monitors variation of the direct current voltage of the system. When the difference value of a direct current voltage value and a rated value falls outside of a definite threshold range (the threshold range being 0.1-0.3 times of the rated value of the system direct current voltage), the slave station switches from its current control mode into the direct current voltage control mode, and the direct current voltage control slave station controls the direct current voltage to be a reference value set in the takeover, step, or recovers to a rated value by slope.

(10) In addition, after the coordination control method provided in the present invention is adopted, under the condition of operating for a certain period and then recovering normal operation, the direct current voltage master control station selects active power control or frequency control and serves as a new direct current voltage control slave station.

(11) By taking a tri-terminal VSC-HVDC power transmission system as a specific embodiments in combination with drawings, a specific coordination control mode is further described in detail. With reference to FIG. 4, in the tri-terminal VSC-HVDC power transmission system, in normal operation, the station 1 is a direct current voltage master control station and selects a rated direct current voltage control mode; the station 2 is a direct current voltage control slave station and selects a rated active power or rated frequency control mode; and the station 3 is a common convertor station, and selected a rated active power or rated frequency control mode. The station 1 and the station 2 are communicated by inter-station communications, and the station 1 sends a system shutdown message to the station 2 by the inter-station communications.

(12) When the station 1 exits operation, if the inter-station communications are normal, the station 2 determines a direct current voltage takeover mode to be a takeover mode without deviation by a selector, after monitoring shutdown information of the station 1 by the inter-station communications, the station 2 switches a control mode per se to a rated direct current voltage control mode from a rated active power or rated frequency control mode, a direct current voltage reference value selects a preset rated value, thus realizing the direct current voltage takeover control without deviation, and keeping the direct current voltage of the VSC-HVDC power transmission system constant; and the station 3 still keeps the original control mode unchanged.

(13) When the station 1 exits operation, if the inter-station communications fail, the station 2 determines a direct current voltage takeover mode to be a takeover mode with deviation by a selector, after the station 1 shuts down, fluctuation of direct current voltage is caused, after monitoring that a fluctuation range of the direct current voltage exceeds a threshold value, the station 2 judges that the station 1 stops operation, and switches a control mode to a rated direct current voltage control mode from a rated active power or rated frequency control mode, a direct current voltage reference value selects a preset rated value, thus realizing the direct current voltage takeover control with deviation, and keeping the direct current voltage of the VSC-HVDC power transmission system constant.

(14) The present invention takes the tri-terminal VSC-HVDC power transmission system to introduce the embodiments, but is not limited to the tri-terminal system, and is suitable for multi-terminal VSC-HVDC power transmission systems with more than three terminals.
