Research progress on energy saving and carbon reduction of converter stations under background of “dual carbon”

There are many large-scale electrical equipment in the converter station building, which is a large consumer of energy in the power system. Against the background of “dual carbon”, converter stations should follow the design principle of energy saving and low carbon. This paper reviews the research progress and energy consumption status of converter stations in recent years, and puts forward the energy-saving design of converter stations and the solution strategy of the green and low-carbon in view of the characteristics of the building and the environment. According to the relevant research on the green building evaluation system and green substation, the development direction of the green converter station is proposed. This paper reviews the relevant research on carbon emission calculation of converter stations, summarises the problems of carbon emission calculation of converter stations, and provides references for subsequent research and engineering calculations.
