Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy grid connection stability technology, and in particular to a grid-type converter control method and system applicable to multiple grid strengths. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing proportion of new energy sources in the power grid, the drawbacks of currently widely used grid-forming converters, such as their inability to autonomously construct voltage and support grid frequencies, are becoming increasingly apparent. This is particularly problematic in weak grid conditions, where they are prone to system instability, posing a significant challenge to the stable operation of the power grid. Therefore, in recent years, grid-forming (GFM) converters with active support capabilities have received widespread attention. GFM converters synchronize their output power with the grid and simulate the external characteristics of a synchronous machine, ensuring the inertia and damping required by the grid. Furthermore, they possess advantages such as autonomously constructing output voltage without relying on the AC grid and providing rapid frequency response, effectively improving grid stability.

[0003] Grid-Forming Converters (GFMCs) employ vector voltage control and operate as AC voltage sources. Because of their identical control structure, GFMCs can function normally regardless of grid connection. GFMC control comprises an external power control loop and internal voltage control. The power loop uses a virtual synchronous generator (VSG) or virtual synchronous inverter control to simulate the inertia and droop characteristics of a synchronous generator. Regarding the inner loop control, in islanded mode, LC filters are typically used in GFMC applications to provide a pure voltage output with low switching harmonics. In grid-connected mode, due to the presence of the grid's equivalent impedance, the LC filter on the inverter output side will be converted to an LCL filter.

[0004] The inner loop controller of a GFMC is typically designed in islanded mode. Generally, due to grid impedance, the response speed of the inner loop in a grid-connected GFMC with dual-loop voltage control is much slower than in islanded mode. Furthermore, the voltage control bandwidth of a GFMC decreases with increasing grid strength, while the power loop bandwidth increases with grid strength. In strong grids with low grid impedance or in wind turbines with small capacity and low droop coefficients, the power loop bandwidth can be very high. This means that even if the inner loop is designed to be fast in islanded mode, the assumption of decoupled control bandwidth in grid-connected mode may not hold. A slow dynamic response inner loop can lead to coupling between the external power control loop and the internal voltage control loop, potentially resulting in unsatisfactory or even unstable power control dynamics. Under strong grid conditions, bandwidth coupling between the two loops can cause system instability.

[0005] Traditional methods indirectly affect bandwidth by adjusting the inertia or integral coefficients, but cannot actively maintain a constant voltage loop bandwidth, making it difficult to adapt to dynamic changes in grid strength. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a control method that fixes the voltage loop bandwidth, eliminating harmful power-voltage loop coupling by blocking the dynamic changes in voltage loop bandwidth with grid strength, and fundamentally improving the overall stability of grid-connected converters under both strong and weak grid conditions. In the existing technology, Chinese invention patent application CN119994949A, "Control Method and System for Grid-Connected Converters Based on Virtual Impedance Feedforward Controller," addresses the synchronous frequency resonance problem caused by power loop coupling by suppressing resonance through inductor current feedforward compensation. However, this method cannot eliminate harmful power-voltage loop coupling. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to solve the problem that the voltage inner loop control bandwidth of a grid-connected converter in grid-connected mode is easily coupled with the power outer loop control due to changes in grid strength, causing system oscillation.

[0007] This invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution: a grid-type converter control method applicable to multiple grid strengths, the method comprising:

[0008] The actual output power of the inverter is calculated based on the inverter-side capacitor voltage and grid-connected current.

[0009] The actual output power of the inverter and the power reference value are controlled by a virtual synchronous generator to determine the output internal potential amplitude reference value and the internal potential phase angle.

[0010] The virtual internal potential is obtained by subtracting the voltage drop of the grid current across the virtual impedance from the reference value of the internal potential amplitude.

[0011] The virtual internal potential is used as the reference voltage input to the voltage-current dual-loop controller, and the grid-connected current is input to the proportional-derivative controller. The output of the voltage-current dual-loop controller is subtracted from the output of the proportional-derivative controller, and the result is input to the inverter through the SPWM modulator to control the inverter.

[0012] This invention introduces proportional-derivative feedback of grid-connected current to maintain a constant inner loop control bandwidth during dynamic changes in grid strength. This makes the inner loop controller unaffected by changes in grid-side inductance, blocks the dynamic changes in voltage loop bandwidth with grid strength, eliminates harmful coupling between power and voltage loops, and ensures that the inner loop controller can maintain a constant bandwidth under any grid strength. This fundamentally improves the overall stability of grid-connected converters under both strong and weak grid conditions.

[0013] Preferably, the voltage and current dual-loop controller includes a voltage loop controller using quasi-proportional resonant control and a current loop controller using proportional control. The proportional coefficient of the proportional-derivative controller is equal to the negative of the proportional coefficient of the current loop, and the derivative coefficient of the proportional-derivative controller is equal to the negative of the filter inductance on the output side of the inverter.

[0014] The proportional gain of the proportional-derivative controller is equal to the negative of the proportional gain of the current loop, eliminating the pole at s=0 in the open-loop transfer function from the inverter output voltage to the inverter side current. This allows the grid-connected converter to have similar high-frequency characteristics in both islanded and grid-connected modes. The derivative of the proportional-derivative controller is equal to the negative of the filter inductance on the inverter output side, ensuring that the grid-connected converter has identical low-frequency characteristics in both islanded and grid-connected modes. This eliminates the influence of grid-side impedance on the inner loop control, giving the grid-connected converter the same inner loop control bandwidth in grid-connected and islanded modes. This further improves the inner loop voltage tracking performance of the grid-connected converter in both islanded and grid-connected modes, enhancing power control stability, especially when the power control bandwidth is high in strong grid-connected modes.

[0015] In addition, the proportional-derivative controller has simple parameter design. After determining the system parameters and current loop control parameters, the parameters required for the grid-connected current state feedback function can be obtained without additional parameter tuning process.

[0021] Preferably, the grid-connected converter has exactly the same low-frequency characteristics in both islanded and grid-connected modes.

[0025] Preferably, the reference value of the internal potential amplitude E and the internal potential phase angle δ are respectively:

[0026]

[0027] E = E m +k q (Q ref -Q e )

[0028] δ=∫(ω-ω0)dt

[0029] Among them, P e Q e These represent the active power and reactive power output by the VSG, respectively. ref Q ref These are the reference values ​​for active power and reactive power, respectively; ω0 is the rated grid frequency; ω is the actual angular frequency of the inverter output; J and D are the VSG moment of inertia and damping coefficient, respectively; and E... m k is the output voltage amplitude of the inverter. q This is the reactive power droop coefficient.

[0030] Preferably, the calculation process of the output of the voltage and current dual-loop controller includes: subtracting the virtual internal potential from the inverter-side output voltage to obtain a first difference value; subtracting the output value of the first difference value after adjustment by the voltage loop controller from the inverter-side output current to obtain a second difference value; and obtaining the output of the voltage and current dual-loop controller after adjustment by the current loop controller.

[0032] The power calculation module is used to calculate the actual output power of the inverter based on the inverter-side capacitor voltage and grid-connected current.

[0033] The outer loop control module is used to control the output internal potential amplitude reference value and internal potential phase angle of the inverter by comparing the actual output power of the inverter with the power reference value through a virtual synchronous generator.

[0034] The virtual impedance control loop is used to subtract the voltage drop of the grid current across the virtual impedance from the reference value of the internal potential amplitude to obtain the virtual internal potential.

The output of the voltage and current dual-loop controller is subtracted from the output of the proportional-derivative controller, and the result is input into the inverter through the SPWM modulator to control the inverter.

[0057]

[0058] Open-loop transfer function G of voltage loop in grid-connected mode LCL (s) is:

[0059]

[0060] Based on the open-loop transfer function G of the voltage loop in islanded mode LC (s) and the open-loop transfer function G of the voltage loop in grid-connected mode LCL (s) It can be seen that the open-loop transfer functions of LC and LCL modes are different. Specifically, the open-loop transfer function of LCL mode has one more zero located at the origin than that of LC mode. The fundamental reason for this is that the open-loop transfer function T iLCL (s) compared to the open-loop transfer function T iLC (s) The addition of an extra pole located at the origin will make G LCL The number of types (TN) of (s) decreases by 1, resulting in a significant change in the low-frequency characteristics of the system.

LCL The initial phase of (s) also leads the open-loop transfer function G of the voltage loop in islanded mode. LC (s)90 degrees, so that the open-loop transfer function G of the voltage loop in grid-connected mode is... LCL (s) Compared to the open-loop transfer function G of the voltage loop in islanded mode LC The low-frequency loop gain of (s) is poor, and the response speed of the voltage and current inner loop in grid-connected mode is much slower than that in islanded mode.

[0066] Because the response speed of the voltage and current inner loop of a grid-connected converter is much slower in grid-connected mode than in islanded mode, when the grid impedance is low (strong grid), the control bandwidth of the voltage and current inner loop will decrease, causing the bandwidth of the power loop and voltage loop to become close, resulting in coupled oscillation.

[0067] To address the issue of system oscillations caused by the voltage inner loop control bandwidth being affected by grid strength variations and easily coupling with the power outer loop control in grid-connected mode, this embodiment provides a control method for grid-connected converters applicable to multiple grid strengths, including the following steps:

[0068] Step 1: Based on the inverter-side capacitor voltage u abc and grid-connected current i abc The actual output power of the inverter is calculated. The three-phase current i output from the inverter side is collected using sensors. Labc Inverter-side capacitor voltage u abc and grid-connected current i abc Calculate the actual output power of the inverter, including the active power P. e and reactive power Q e The calculation method is as follows:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, E m E represents the output voltage amplitude of the inverter. g∠0° represents the grid voltage, δ represents the phase angle of the VSG output voltage, and the relationship between the phase angle and the inverter output angular frequency is: δ=∫(ω-ω0)dt, where ω0 is the rated grid frequency, X g This refers to the line reactance.

[0071] Step 2: The actual output power of the inverter and the power reference value are controlled by a virtual synchronous generator to output the internal electromotive force amplitude reference value E and the internal electromotive force phase angle δ. Through outer-loop power control, the grid-connected converter is kept synchronized with the grid, simulating the droop characteristics of a synchronous generator. The outer-loop power control includes a reactive voltage control loop and an active frequency control loop, controlling the reactive power Q... e and the set reactive power reference value Q ref Input reactive voltage control loop, reactive power Q e With reactive power reference value Q ref By performing differential calculations and obtaining the reference value E of the internal potential amplitude through droop control, the active power P is then... e and active power reference value P ref Input the active frequency control loop and calculate the internal potential phase angle δ. The internal potential amplitude reference value E and the internal potential phase angle δ are respectively:

[0072]

[0073] E = E m +k q (Q ref -Q e )

[0074] δ=∫(ω-ω0)dt

[0075] Among them, P e Q e These represent the active power and reactive power output by the VSG, respectively. ref Q ref These are the reference values ​​for active power and reactive power, respectively; ω0 is the rated grid frequency; ω is the actual angular frequency of the inverter output; J and D are the VSG moment of inertia and damping coefficient, respectively; and E... m k is the output voltage amplitude of the inverter. q This is the reactive power droop coefficient.

[0076] Step 3: Subtract the grid-connected current i from the reference value of internal potential amplitude E. abc The voltage drop across the virtual impedance yields the virtual internal potential e. By inputting the reference value of the internal potential amplitude and the grid-connected current into the virtual impedance control loop, the internal impedance characteristics (mainly reactance) of the synchronous generator are simulated, thereby enhancing system stability, improving power distribution, and limiting fault current.

[0077] Step 4: Using the virtual internal potential e as the reference voltage, input voltage and current dual-loop controller, and grid-connected current i abc Input proportional-derivative controller G ad (s) The output of the voltage and current dual-loop controller is subtracted from the output of the proportional-derivative controller, and the result is input to the inverter through the SPWM modulator to control the inverter.

[0078] The virtual internal potential e serves as the reference voltage input voltage and current dual-loop controller. The virtual internal potential e is related to the inverter-side output voltage u. abc The difference is calculated to obtain the first difference value, which is then processed by the voltage loop controller G. v (s) The adjusted output value and the inverter-side output current i Labc The difference is calculated to obtain a second difference value, which is then processed by the current loop controller G. c (s) After adjustment, the output of the voltage and current dual-loop controller is obtained.

[0079] The voltage and current dual-loop controller includes a voltage loop controller G employing quasi-proportional resonant control. v (s) and the current loop controller G using proportional control c (s), proportional-derivative controller G ad The proportional coefficient of (s) is equal to the negative of the proportional coefficient of the current loop, and the proportional-derivative controller G ad The differential coefficient of (s) is equal to the negative of the filter inductance on the output side of the inverter.

[0080] Voltage loop controller G v (s) is:

[0081]

[0082] Current loop controller G c (s) is:

[0083] G c (s)=K cp

[0084] Among them, K vp K cp These are the proportional gains of the voltage loop and current loop, respectively, where ω0 is the rated grid frequency, and K... vr For the resonant gain, ζ r s is the damping coefficient of the quasi-proportional resonant controller, and s is a complex frequency domain variable.

[0085] Ignoring control delay, proportional-derivative controller G ad (s) is:

[0086] G ad (s)=-K cp -sL1

[0087] Among them, K cp L1 is the proportional gain of the current loop, L2 is the output filter inductor of the inverter, and s is a complex frequency domain variable.

[0088] See Figure 4 The open-loop transfer function G of the voltage loop of a grid-connected converter in grid-connected mode LCL_PD (s) is:

[0089]

[0090] The closed-loop transfer function G of the dual-loop controller with grid current feedback (DCGCF) in the grid-type converter of this invention. DCGCF (s) is:

[0091]

[0092] Among them, G v (s), G c (s) represent the voltage loop controller and the current loop controller, respectively, G d (s) is the delay function, L1, C f These are the inverter output side filter inductor and filter capacitor, respectively. g Let be the equivalent inductance of the power grid, and s be a variable in the complex frequency domain.

[0093] Proportional-derivative controller G ad The proportional gain (s) is equal to the negative of the current loop proportional gain, which can eliminate the inverter output voltage U i Inverter-side current I L Open-loop transfer function T iLCL (s) The pole located at s=0, through zero-pole cancellation, enables the grid-type converter to have similar high-frequency characteristics in islanded and grid-connected modes; the proportional-derivative controller G ad The differential coefficient of (s) is equal to the negative of the filter inductance on the inverter output side, ensuring that the grid-connected converter exhibits identical low-frequency characteristics in both islanded and grid-connected modes. Substituting the system parameters from Table 1 and the control parameters from Table 2 into the open-loop transfer function G of the voltage loop in grid-connected mode... LCL_PD (s), thus obtaining the voltage loop Bode plot with proportional-derivative feedback of the grid current, as shown. Figure 5As shown, when both modes have similar high-frequency characteristics, regardless of the grid-side inductance, the LC mode and LCL mode have exactly the same low-frequency characteristics, eliminating the influence of grid-side impedance on the inner loop control. This allows the grid-connected converter to have the same inner loop control bandwidth in grid-connected mode as in islanded mode, further improving the inner loop voltage tracking performance of the grid-connected converter in both islanded and grid-connected modes, and enhancing power control stability, especially when the power control bandwidth is high in the grid-connected mode of a strong power grid.

[0094] Furthermore, by introducing proportional differential feedback of grid-connected current, the inner loop control bandwidth remains constant during dynamic changes in grid strength. This ensures that the inner loop controller is unaffected by changes in grid-side inductance, blocks dynamic changes in voltage loop bandwidth with grid strength, eliminates harmful coupling between power and voltage loops, and allows the inner loop controller to maintain constant bandwidth under any grid strength, fundamentally improving the overall stability of grid-connected converters under both strong and weak grid conditions.

[0095] The proportional-derivative controller (PDC) has simple parameter design. Once the system parameters and current loop control parameters are determined, the parameters required for the grid-connected current state feedback function can be obtained without additional parameter tuning. This invention has a certain degree of universality; regardless of whether the current loop is proportional control, proportional-resonant control, or proportional-integral control, this method can ensure that both islanded and grid-connected modes exhibit the same low-frequency characteristics.

[0123] Based on a converter with a rated power of 125KW, the grid-side inductance Lg is set to 0.1mH, 1.7mH, and 2.7mH, corresponding to the strong grid, transition zone, and weak grid, respectively. The data in Table 3 are then substituted into the closed-loop transfer function G of the traditional dual-loop controller. CDC(s) and the closed-loop transfer function G of the dual-loop controller with grid current feedback DCGCF (s) The Bode plots of the system closed-loop transfer function are shown in Figures 6(a) and 6(b). According to the principle of automatic control, when the amplitude gain curve drops to -3dB, the corresponding frequency is the bandwidth frequency. As can be seen from the above Bode plots, the frequency at -3dB of the traditional voltage and current dual-loop control is significantly different, while the frequency of the amplitude-frequency curve at -3dB is the same for the dual-loop control with grid current feedback, regardless of whether it is a strong grid, a weak grid, or a transition zone. This means that the bandwidth of the inner loop control remains unchanged regardless of the strength of the grid, verifying the effectiveness of the control method in Example 1.
