摘要: IGBT过流失效极易导致模块爆炸、水冷系统漏水甚至换流阀停运,是危害柔性直流输电系统安全运行的重要因素之一。基于模块多电平柔性直流换流阀结构特点和运行工况,总结分析了柔性直流换流阀IGBT的短路过电流、脉冲式过电流和续流二极管过电流这3种过流失效类型及其特征;结合MMC换流阀的工作原理及特点,提出了IGBT 3种过流方式的保护方案及参数配置方法;通过±420 kV/1250 MW换流阀采用的3300 V/1500 A焊接型IGBT器件进行了失效分析与保护方案的试验验证,试验结果证明了过流失效分析的正确性和过电流保护方案的有效性。

Abstract: IGBT overcurrent failure, which is one of the important factors harming VSC-HVDC safe operation, can easily lead to module explosion, water cooling system leakage and even the converter valve shutdown. Based on the structural characteristics and operating conditions of the module multilevel VSC-HVDC converter valve, the paper analyzes the characteristics of three types of IGBT overcurrent failures of the VSC-HVDC converter valve, including short-circuit overcurrent, pulse over current, as well as fly-wheeling diode overcurrent. According to the working principle and characteristics of the MMC converter valve, three IGBT protection schemes and their parameter configuration methods are put forward. The IGBT (3300 V/1500 A) adopted in a converter valve of ±420 kV/1250 MW is used for overcurrent failure analysis and protection scheme verification, and the test results prove the correctness of the proposed overcurrent failure analysis method and the effectiveness of the overcurrent protection scheme.
