Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy power generation and power system planning and operation technology, and specifically to a method for configuring offshore wind power grid units that takes into account both economic efficiency and stability. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of the global energy transition, offshore wind power is developing towards deep-sea, large-scale, and clustered development. Because offshore wind farms are far from the onshore main grid, they are usually connected to the grid through long-distance high-voltage AC submarine cables or flexible DC transmission systems. This makes the sending-end grid exhibit obvious "weak connectivity" characteristics, that is, a low short-circuit ratio and weak system immunity to disturbances.
[0003] Traditional wind turbines often employ phase-locked loop (PLL)-based control strategies, treating them as equivalent current sources. In weak grid environments, grid-connected turbines are highly susceptible to broadband oscillations or grid disconnection due to PLL instability. Grid-connected turbines, by simulating the voltage source characteristics of synchronous generators, can provide the system with virtual inertia, voltage support, and primary frequency regulation, significantly improving the stability of weak grids.
[0004] However, in actual engineering planning, the optimal configuration of grid-connected generating units faces the following severe challenges:
[0005] Grid-connected wind turbines must reserve a certain amount of active power to maintain voltage source characteristics and provide frequency support. This means that the turbines must operate at reduced load below their maximum power point, resulting in opportunity costs due to the forfeiture of some generating capacity. Furthermore, the internal characteristics of wind farms are not fully utilized: Offshore wind farms have a significant wake effect. Turbines downstream of the prevailing wind direction are blocked by upstream turbines, reducing input wind speed and limiting their theoretical maximum usable power. Existing technologies typically assume uniform or random distribution of turbines within the wind farm, failing to utilize the "idle capacity" of downstream turbines for grid backup tasks, thus wasting resources.
[0006] With the introduction of grid-connected generating units, the system exhibits complex characteristics of mixed voltage and current source devices. The traditional short-circuit ratio index is derived based on the current source assumption, which cannot accurately quantify the improvement effect of grid-connected generating units on system strength, resulting in blurred stability constraint boundaries and difficulty in guiding precise capacity configuration. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for configuring offshore wind power grid-connected units that takes into account both economy and stability, so as to accurately quantify the stability of the hybrid system and to calculate the standby opportunity cost in combination with the wake effect, thereby achieving optimal grid-connected unit site selection and capacity determination in terms of both economy and stability.

Step 4: Derive the critical short-circuit ratio threshold of the system based on the static voltage stability limit of the system; Step 5: Construct a collaborative optimization configuration model for grid-connected generating units; the model sets the installation location status of each unit and the active power reserve ratio of the grid-connected generating units as optimization decision variables, takes maximizing the net benefit over the entire life cycle as the objective function, and takes the improved multi-infeed short-circuit ratio index being greater than the critical short-circuit ratio threshold and the active power reserve ratio meeting the minimum requirements for grid-connected system operation as constraints. Step 6: Solve the collaborative optimization configuration model of the grid-type units, and output the optimal location, number of units, and active power reserve ratio of the grid-type units that maximize the objective function.

For the 0-1 decision variables that characterize the installation location status, the value is 1 when the optimization model decides to configure the i-th unit as a grid-type unit, and 0 otherwise. Let be the on-grid electricity price for the t-th time segment; The theoretical maximum available power at the t-th time segment calculated in claim 2; This is the reference value of the actual active power of the i-th grid-type unit at the t-th time segment, and its value is determined by the continuous decision variable active power reserve ratio. The decision satisfies the following relation: ; Furthermore, regarding step three, the calculation process for the generalized hybrid source short-circuit ratio index includes: Based on differences in control strategies, grid-connected units are characterized as voltage source models with internal impedance, while grid-linked units are characterized as controlled current source models.
