Introduction
Framework for transient performance specifications of HVDC systems
GB/T 20996.2-2020 focuses on two-terminal HVDC systems consisting of 12-pulse commutation units, and specifies the performance requirements during faults and operations, including:
- Transient process of switching equipment on the AC side (Section 4.2)
- Fault recovery characteristics of AC systems (Chapter 5)
- Converter unit protection configuration (Section 7.4)
- DC line fault clearing strategy (Section 9.5)
Comparison of key protection technologies
| Protection type | Detection method | Action time | Typical application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Converter differential protection | Compare valve side with DC current | <10ms | Bridge arm short circuit (Section 7.2) |
| DC line protection | dv/dt+voltage drop | 20-100ms | Overhead line lightning strike (Section 9.1) |
| Metal loop protection | Current differential | 100-500ms | Conductor grounding (Section 11.4) |
Key points of insulation coordination design
Section 12.7 of the standard stipulates that the following considerations must be given to the configuration of lightning arresters:
- The valve arrester (V) must withstand the AC operating wave (12.7.3)
- The DC bus arrester (DB) determines the insulation level of the pole equipment
- The neutral bus arrester (E1/E2) must meet the energy requirements for single-pole operation
Typical case:The lightning arrester combination of a series converter station (Figure 22) requires additional consideration of the line discharge current when the unit is short-circuited.
Implementation Suggestions
Based on the standard requirements, the following points should be noted during project implementation:
- Use phase-selective circuit breakers for switching AC filters (Section 4.2)
- The creepage distance in the valve hall is designed to be 1.4-1.6cm/kV (Section 12.10.2)
- Dual configuration of the communication system (Section 13.2)
