Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power control and management, and more particularly to an automatic voltage and reactive power control method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible DC transmission technology has become an important means to solve the problem of large-scale renewable energy transmission being able to "send and connect" to the grid. Pumped storage technology, with its most mature technology and lowest cost, plays a crucial role in mitigating the impact of large-scale renewable energy grid connection. The combined operation of "flexible DC + pumped storage" has become an important scenario for solving the problem of renewable energy grid integration and absorption. Given that MMC (Multi-Mode Capable Transmission) can quickly and independently adjust reactive power output, MMC-based flexible DC converter stations have become a potential plant-level automatic voltage control (AVC) resource in the power system. Simultaneously, with the advancement of power electronics technology, pumped storage units have acquired the ability to change their operating state in a short time, possessing the potential to rapidly adjust system reactive power and voltage. If flexible DC converter stations and pumped storage units can participate in AVC, it will help avoid long-distance or multi-level transmission of reactive power, achieving hierarchical and local balancing, and improving the stability of the power grid voltage operation. However, both the flexible DC converter station and the pumped-storage unit employ constant reactive power control and constant AC voltage control methods. If they participate in AVC simultaneously, it involves coordination issues between the flexible DC converter station and the pumped-storage unit on steady-state long-term and transient short-term time scales. If the pumped-storage power station includes conventional pumped-storage units and variable-speed pumped-storage units, the regulation priority among the pumped-storage units must also be considered. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the coordinated control of the flexible DC converter station and the pumped-storage unit when participating in AVC, and to fully utilize their reactive power and voltage regulation capabilities while considering equipment constraints.

[0003] A two-step voltage regulation method is provided in the existing technology to achieve AC bus voltage regulation by flexible DC converter. First, based on the initial value U0 of the AC bus voltage before regulation and the target value U after regulation, the flexible DC converter valve is controlled to generate reactive power to Q1, and the AC bus voltage U1 at this time is observed. Then, the reactive power Q2 required by the flexible DC converter is calculated based on U1 and U. This method calculates the final reactive power required to regulate the AC voltage through testing steps, is simple and practical, does not rely on complex power calculations, does not need to consider the converter station's operating mode, clearly defines the reference value of the generated reactive power, and avoids disturbances to the system caused by frequent on-site adjustments. However, this scheme studies the scenario where flexible DC converters participate in the system's AC voltage regulation, and involves the condition where pumped-storage units also participate in the system's AC voltage regulation.

[0004] Another approach proposes a coordinated fault ride-through method for a flexible DC system (DCS) comprising a pumped-storage power station and a wind farm when a fault occurs. When a fault occurs in the DCS system, the fault information is transmitted to the pumped-storage turbine (PST) via communication. Simultaneously, the power measurement link at the wind farm's PCC node also sends the measured power value to the PST. The PST determines its operating mode by analyzing the fault information and considering the wind farm's output power, and simultaneously determines the magnitude of the power command value. Through rapid power regulation, it reduces the power injected into the DCS system, achieving fault ride-through. However, this technology only studies the active power joint ride-through scheme of the PST and wind turbines during DCS faults, and does not consider the coordination between reactive power.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the process of how the present invention uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly. It should be noted that, as long as there is no conflict, the various embodiments and features in the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, and the resulting technical solutions are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] Furthermore, the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the automatic voltage and reactive power control method provided by this invention is applicable to power systems including flexible DC converter stations and pumped-storage units, and specifically includes the following:

[0045] S101 acquires the AC bus voltage of the flexible DC power grid and determines the over-limit situation of the AC bus voltage based on the target value and actual value of the AC bus voltage of the flexible DC power grid.

[0046] S102 When the voltage of the flexible DC AC side bus exceeds the limit, the voltage exceeding the limit of the conventional pumped storage unit is analyzed based on the actual value of the terminal voltage of the conventional pumped storage unit, the constraint threshold, and the control dead zone.

[0047] S103 When the terminal voltage of the conventional pumped storage unit exceeds the limit, analyze the over-limit situation of the terminal voltage and reactive power of the variable speed pumped storage unit based on the actual value of the terminal voltage and the constraint threshold.

[0048] S104 When the terminal voltage and reactive power of the variable speed pumped storage unit do not exceed the limits, the terminal voltage or reactive power of the variable speed pumped storage unit is adjusted according to the control strategy of the variable speed pumped storage unit through constant voltage control mode or constant reactive power control mode to complete automatic voltage and reactive power control.

[0049] Specifically, the following formula can be used to determine whether the voltage of the AC side bus of the flexible DC power grid exceeds the limit, based on the target value and the actual value:

[0050] |V ref -V t |>V err (1);

[0051] In the above formula, V ref V t V err This refers to the target value, actual value, and control dead zone of the AC bus voltage in the flexible DC power grid. If the AC bus voltage of the flexible DC power grid does not exceed the limit, the judgment continues; if the AC bus voltage exceeds the limit, AVC control begins and the subsequent process commences. Overall, given the relatively mature excitation control technology of conventional pumped storage, and the poor transient response of variable-speed pumped storage and flexible DC power grids due to their power electronic power supply attributes, the above-mentioned embodiment provided by this invention uses the AC bus voltage as the control target. Under the constraints of conventional pumped storage, variable-speed pumped storage generator terminal voltage, and reactive power not exceeding the limit, control is performed according to the priority order of conventional pumped storage, variable-speed pumped storage, and flexible DC power grids. That is, conventional pumped storage units are controlled first, then variable-speed pumped storage units, and finally flexible DC power grids. During each control operation, the same type of unit can operate simultaneously. Regarding the selection of control methods, given that the excitation control technology of conventional pumped storage is relatively mature, only the constant generator terminal voltage control method is adopted; variable speed pumped storage and flexible DC can adopt constant reactive power or constant voltage control methods. Among them, the constant reactive power control method has poor response capability under transient conditions. As a steady-state control method, constant voltage control is more closely related to the grid mode. It can be used as a steady-state regulation means, and can also autonomously respond to reactive power support needs during transients. The specific implementation method will be described in detail in the subsequent embodiments.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the method may further include: when the terminal voltage of the conventional pumped-storage unit is not exceeded, adjusting the terminal voltage of the conventional pumped-storage unit according to the actual value of the terminal voltage and the adjustment step size to complete automatic voltage and reactive power control. The analysis of the limit-exceeding situation of the conventional pumped-storage unit terminal voltage based on the actual value of the terminal voltage, the constraint threshold, and the control dead zone includes:

[0053] The following formula is used to calculate the over-limit situation of the terminal voltage of a conventional pumped-storage unit:

[0054] V pump1_min -Err_V pump1≤ V pump1≤ V pump1_max +Err_V pump1 (2);

[0055] In the above formula, V pump1 V pump1_max V pump1_min Err_V pump1 These are the actual value, upper limit, lower limit, and control dead zone of the conventional pumped-storage unit's terminal voltage, respectively. Therefore, formula (2) is used to determine whether the conventional pumped-storage unit's terminal voltage exceeds the limit and whether it can participate in AVC. If the conventional pumped-storage unit can participate in AVC, the terminal voltage of the conventional pumped-storage unit is adjusted using the following formula:

[0056] V pump1 =V pump1 ±△V1 (3);

[0057] In the above formula, △V1 is the step size of the voltage regulation at the generator terminal of the conventional pumped-storage unit, and "±" is determined according to the direction of the voltage exceeding the limit on the flexible DC AC side bus. When it is higher than the upper limit, it takes a negative sign, and when it is lower than the lower limit, it takes a positive sign. If the conventional pumped-storage unit cannot participate in AVC, another method is used to determine whether the variable-speed pumped-storage unit can participate in AVC. Please refer to the subsequent embodiments for details of this method, which will not be described in detail here.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, analyzing the over-limit conditions of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit's terminal voltage and reactive power based on the actual value of the terminal voltage and the constraint threshold includes: calculating the over-limit conditions of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit's terminal voltage and reactive power using the following formula:

[0059] V pump2_min -Err_V pump2≤ V pump2≤ V pump2_max +Err_V pump2 (4);

[0060] Q pump2_min-Err_Q pump2≤ Q pump2≤ Q pump2_max +Err_Q pump2 (5);

[0061] In the above formula, V pump2 V pump2_max V pump2_min Err_V pump2 These represent the actual value, upper and lower limits of the constraint, control dead zone, and adjustment step size of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit's terminal voltage, respectively. pump2 Q pump2_max Q pump2_min Err_Q pump2 These are the actual reactive power value, upper and lower limits of the constraint, and the control dead zone of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit, respectively. Based on this embodiment, if the variable-speed pumped-storage unit can participate in AVC (Automatic Voltage and Reactive Power Control), in another embodiment of the invention, automatic voltage and reactive power control is achieved by adjusting the terminal voltage or reactive power of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit according to the control strategy of the unit using either constant voltage control or constant reactive power control. This includes: calculating the adjustment parameters corresponding to the constant voltage control or constant reactive power control method using the following formula, and adjusting the terminal voltage or reactive power of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit according to the adjustment parameters to achieve automatic voltage and reactive power control.

[0062] V pump2 =V pump2 ±△V2 (6);

[0063] Q pump2 =Q pump2 ±△Q pump2 (7);

[0064] In the above formula, V pump2 Q pump2 These are the adjustment parameters for constant voltage control and constant reactive power control, respectively: ΔV2 and ΔQ. pump2 These are the voltage regulation step size and reactive power regulation step size of the variable speed pumped storage unit, respectively. ± is determined according to the over-limit direction of the AC bus voltage on the flexible DC side. When it is higher than the upper limit, it takes a negative sign, and when it is lower than the lower limit, it takes a positive sign.

[0065] If the variable-speed pumped-storage unit cannot participate in AVC, please refer to... Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the method may further include:

[0066] S301 When the terminal voltage and reactive power of the variable speed pumped storage unit exceed the limits, obtain the limit-exceeding status of the flexible DC reactive power.

[0067] S302 When the reactive power limit of the flexible DC converter exceeds the limit, the flexible DC converter station and the pumped storage unit shall be controlled to maintain the current operating conditions.

[0068] Therefore, based on whether the flexible DC-DC power supply exceeds its limits, it is determined whether it can participate in AVC. Based on the determination result, S302 is executed. If the flexible DC-DC power supply and pumped storage maintain their current operating conditions, other reactive power and voltage regulation resources in the system participate in AVC; or, subsequent actions are executed. Figure 4 The process. Specifically, when flexible and linear reactive power can participate in AVC, please refer to... Figure 4 As shown, the method further includes:

[0069] S401 When the reactive power of the flexible DC converter does not exceed the limit, and the flexible DC converter station adopts a constant reactive power control mode or a constant AC voltage control mode, the reactive power or AC voltage parameters of the flexible DC converter station are obtained by adjusting the reactive power or AC voltage command according to the preset model.

[0070] S402 performs automatic voltage and reactive power control based on the reactive power parameters or the AC voltage parameters.

[0071] The process of obtaining reactive power or AC voltage parameters by adjusting the reactive power or AC voltage of the flexible DC converter station according to the preset model includes:

[0072] The reactive power parameters or AC voltage parameters can be calculated using the following formula:

[0073] V HVDC =V HVDC ±△V HVDC (8);

[0074] Q HVDC =Q HVDC ±△Q HVDC (9);

[0075] In the above formula, Q HVDC V HVDC These are the reactive power parameters and AC voltage parameters, ΔV. HVDC For flexible DC fixed voltage control, the voltage adjustment step size is ΔQ. HVDC The reactive power adjustment step size for the flexible DC power constant reactive power control is ±, which is determined by the over-limit direction of the flexible DC AC side bus voltage. When it is higher than the upper limit, it takes a negative sign, and when it is lower than the lower limit, it takes a positive sign.

[0076] In the above embodiments, the specific control logic for automatic voltage and reactive power control based on the reactive power parameters or the AC voltage parameters can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown:

[0077] Flexible DC control methods are divided into three types: system-level control, converter-level control, and trigger-level control. For converter station system-level control, reactive power control methods include reactive power control and AC voltage control, but these are incompatible control objectives, and only one can be controlled at a time.

[0078] Among them, reactive power control can be referred to Figure 5 As shown, the reactive power control module receives the reactive power dispatch command Q. HVDC Reactive power modulation or fast reactive power control signal Q m They generate a reactive power reference signal Q through the reactive power command regulation stage. ref The reactive power is transmitted to the converter-level control system. Reactive power modulation and rapid reactive power change can be used to improve system voltage stability, suppress flicker, and improve power quality.

[0079] AC voltage control can be referenced. Figure 6 As shown, the control objective of the flexible DC converter station is to adjust the AC voltage on a certain bus (usually the connection point bus); the AC voltage control module receives the command V from the upper level. HVDC Within the capacity limits of the converter station, based on information such as system operating conditions, an AC voltage reference signal V is generated through the AC voltage command regulation stage. HVDC_ref And transmit it to the converter-level control system.

[0080] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the control logic of the automatic voltage and reactive power control method provided by this invention in actual operation can be referred to... Figure 7 As shown, the specific application methods of each module have been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 8 As shown, this invention also provides an automatic voltage and reactive power control device, applicable to power systems including flexible DC converter stations and pumped-storage units. The device includes a data acquisition module, a conventional pumped-storage unit analysis module, a variable-speed pumped-storage unit analysis module, and a regulation module. It acquires the AC bus voltage of the flexible DC converter station and determines the over-limit status of the AC bus voltage based on the target and actual values ​​of the AC bus voltage of the flexible DC converter station. When the AC bus voltage of the flexible DC converter station exceeds the limit, it analyzes the over-limit status of the conventional pumped-storage unit's terminal voltage based on the actual value, constraint threshold, and control dead zone. When the terminal voltage of the conventional pumped-storage unit exceeds the limit, it analyzes the over-limit status of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit's terminal voltage and reactive power based on the actual value and constraint threshold of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit's terminal voltage. When the terminal voltage and reactive power of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit do not exceed the limit, it adjusts the terminal voltage or reactive power of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit through constant voltage control or constant reactive power control according to the control strategy of the variable-speed pumped-storage unit to complete automatic voltage and reactive power control.

[0082] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows: when there is a need for reactive power voltage regulation in the system, the reactive power voltage of the system is regulated according to the priority order of conventional pumped-storage units, variable-speed pumped-storage units, and flexible DC converter stations.
