Low Voltage Test Method for Controllable Line-commutated Converter
This paper studies the low voltage test method for the world's first set of Controllable Line-commutated Con-verter(CLCC)at the inverter station of±500 kV Gezhouba-Nanqiao DC refurbishment project.The test conditions,component retention,test devices and implementation steps were clarified and proposed,aiming to ensure the feasibility and safety of the unprecedented tests.Firstly,according to the resistance-capacitance voltage distribution of the CLCC single valve,the retention series number of the converter devices and test voltage were preliminarily estimated under the condition that the calculation formula of the low voltage test for the traditional high voltage converter was not suitable.Secondly,the test system simulation model including detailed converter circuit was built,by which accurate device volt-age stress was obtained under different operation modes of the converter and different series number retention through transient simulation.Then appropriate test voltage and the retention number were selected to ensure that the energization condition of the device driver was satisfied,and the device peak voltage was modest.Finally,the test circuit was built on site and the test was carried out.Test results are consistent with the simulation,which proves the effectiveness of the sim-ulation and test method.
