Study on characteristics and calculation method of VSC-HVDCshort circuit current under three-phase AC short circuit

Abstract

VSC-HVDC has been widely used at home and abroad, but there is no clear conclusion about the characteristics and calculation method of the short-circuit current contributed by VSC-HVDC during the AC Short-Circuit Fault near the converter station. The calculation methods in the field of short-circuit current engineering have not been unified, and the adaptability and error of different methods have not been analyzed in detail. Through electromagnetic transient simulation, this paper analyzes the transient characteristics of VSC-HVDC contribution short-circuit current, and combs the key influencing factors of VSC-HVDC contribution short-circuit current. Finally, taking a VSC-HVDC system in China as an example, the adaptability of the commonly used short-circuit current algorithm is analyzed. It is verified that the existing engineering algorithms have made great progress compared with the original. However, compared with the electromagnetic transient refined simulation, there is still a large error in the calculation results of individual nodes under some control modes / fixed values.
