Popis: Fault ride-through is a prerequisite for ensuring continuous operation of a variable-speed pumped storage unit with a full-size converter (FSC-VSPU) and providing support for the renewable energy and power grid. This paper proposes low-voltage ride through (LVRT) and high-voltage ride through (HVRT) strategies for FSC-VSPU to address this issue. Firstly, the structure of FSC-VSPU and its control strategy under power generation and pumping conditions are described. Subsequently, the fault characteristics of the FSC-VSPU under different operating conditions are analyzed. More stringent fault ride-through technical requirements than those for wind turbines are proposed. On this basis, the fault ride-through strategies of combining fast power drop, rotor energy storage control, power anti-regulation control, dynamic reactive current control, low power protection, and DC crowbar circuit are proposed. Simulation case studies conducted in PSCAD/EMTDC verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the LVRT and HVRT strategies in this paper.
