Digital Modeling Method of Thyristor Considering Reverse Turn-off Characteristics
The thyristor model provided by common electromagnetic transient simulation software ignores the reverse tum-off characteristics of thyristor,resulting in inaccurate simulation of commutation failure of the thyristor converter.In order to improve the simulation accuracy of thyristor valve,we established a effect relationship of zero-crossing current change rate,positive current peak and junction temperature on the reverse recovery current peak,reverse recovery charge and turn-off time of thyristor turn-off characteristic parameters.Meanwhile,we proposed a characterization method of re-lated influencing factors in device modeling,and established a custom digital simulation model of thyristor including reverse blocking recovery process and forward blocking recovery process.Moerover,we constructed a refined electro-magnetic transient model of the converter considering the turn-off characteristics of the device.The comparison between the simulation results and the actual test values shows that the simulation error of the reverse recovery current peak is less than 5%,and the simulation error of the turn-off time is less than 4%.The proposed digital simulation model can accu-rately reflect the turn-off process of the thyristor.The converter simulation model can more accurately reflect the commutation failure characteristics of HVDC system.
