【 摘 要 】

The application of power electronics can introduce flexibility into power systems, but it can also cause harmonic problems. As a typical application of power electronics, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission exhibits very prominent harmonic problems. In recent years, many HVDC protection maloperation events caused by harmonic problems have occurred in the field. The phenomena of harmonic transfer and amplification in HVDC transmission have an undeniable impact on the overall operation of a power system. Previous studies of these phenomena have relied mainly on detailed electromagnetic transient simulations. However, these simulations normally suffer from a large computational burden and low efficiency due to the complexity of the models and the small simulation time steps used. Therefore, an efficient analysis model of harmonics for various HVDC operating modes is presented in this paper. This model is based on port theory; every part of the HVDC transmission system is represented by an equivalent two-port component to construct a unified equivalent circuit. The proposed model is simple to calculate, and only the connections of the two-port components need to be changed to model different operation modes. The proposed two-port model is applied for the harmonic analysis of an HVDC transmission system, and the validity and accuracy of the model are confirmed by detailed electromagnetic simulations. Moreover, the model can be easily applied to HVDC systems for harmonic transfer and amplification, and the effects of the HVDC transmission power and smoothing reactor on harmonic transfer and amplification are analyzed.
