Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of direct current microgrids, and in particular to a power distribution method for a direct current microgrid including an energy storage system. Background technology:

[0002] With the depletion of fossil energy and the growing severity of environmental pollution, distributed generation (DG) has gained widespread attention. Microgrids are an important means of utilizing distributed energy resources. Compared to AC microgrids, DC microgrids do not require frequency modulation or reactive power control, reducing system control complexity and improving conversion efficiency. Distributed generation units (DGs) are connected to the DC bus through corresponding converters. Different DGs have varying power ratings, so proper power distribution and stable DC bus voltage are key to ensuring stable microgrid operation.

[0003] In DC microgrid power distribution control, droop control is the most widely used, achieving power distribution by introducing virtual impedance. It has the advantages of a simple principle, no need for additional hardware, simple implementation, and no communication requirements. However, droop control has its own limitations, namely that its application can produce bus voltage deviations. To address the shortcomings of droop control, secondary control methods have been applied to DC microgrid power distribution control. Among existing secondary control methods, centralized secondary control methods require global information to achieve control objectives, are susceptible to single-point failures, and have poor reliability. Distributed secondary control methods achieve control objectives through limited communication, but suffer from complex controller design, a high communication burden, and are significantly affected by communication delays and interference. Summary of the invention:

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of traditional distributed secondary control methods, such as complex control structures and high communication requirements. By introducing active disturbance rejection control technology into the secondary control part, a control structure using a voltage and power cascade is designed. This control method only requires exchanging power variables to achieve simultaneous voltage regulation and power distribution control, eliminating the need to design separate voltage and power controllers. This improves the complex structure and high communication requirements of traditional parallel control, simplifies the control structure, and reduces the communication burden. In addition, the introduction of active disturbance rejection control technology improves the system's ability to cope with uncertainty and resist interference. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A power distribution method for a DC microgrid including an energy storage system, wherein the control system includes: a network communication part, a secondary voltage control part, a secondary power control part, and a primary control part;

[0006] The primary control part includes a DC / DC converter, a voltage and current inner loop, and a droop control;

[0007] The secondary control part is designed by introducing the active disturbance rejection control technology, cascading the secondary voltage control part and the secondary power control part together, eliminating the need to design separate controllers;

[0008] The network communication part adopts a sparse communication network, and the control method only needs to exchange power variables with adjacent controllers;

[0009] The control process is as follows:

[0010] Step 1: By sampling each converter, the output voltage v of each converter is obtained. dci and the output current i dci ; The output power P of each converter is obtained by calculation dci =v dci ×i dci , where v dci is the output voltage of the converter corresponding to the i-th distributed unit, i dci is the output current of the converter corresponding to the i-th distributed unit;

[0011] Step 2: The power output of each converter is exchanged with the adjacent converter through the network communication part to obtain the required power exchange amount Among them, δ pi is the power exchange amount, a ij is the weight coefficient, x pi and x pj are the power vectors of the converters corresponding to the i-th and j-th distributed units respectively;

[0012] Step 3: Convert the power exchange amount δ pi With the local converter voltage output v dci After making the difference, compare the obtained value with the voltage given value V ref Connect to the secondary controller based on the active disturbance rejection control technology, and output the secondary control signal u through the controller i ;

[0013] Step 4: Generate the secondary control signal u i To adjust the droop control, change the voltage set value to achieve accurate power distribution and voltage regulation through the voltage and current loop.

[0014] After adopting the above control structure, the beneficial results of the present invention are:

[0015] As a control method for power distribution in a DC microgrid, the present invention introduces an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) technology to change the secondary control structure, combines the voltage control and power control parts, simplifies the traditional parallel control structure into a cascade control structure, and realizes decoupling between voltage and power through the dynamic interference decoupling characteristics of the ADRC, eliminating the need to design voltage control and power control separately and simplifying the control structure. At the same time, the control method only needs to exchange power control variables with adjacent controllers, reducing the number of data exchanges required for control and eliminating the need to increase the frequency of communication, thereby alleviating the communication burden. At the same time, the ADRC technology is adopted to cope with the uncertainty during the actual operation of the system through the "total disturbance" concept of the ADRC, which can effectively improve the system's ability to cope with communication delays and anti-interference. Description of the drawings:

[0016] Figure 1 This is the block diagram of the secondary control structure of the present invention. The secondary controller exchanges data through a sparse communication network and only needs to exchange power variables with adjacent controllers. The power exchange amount is subtracted from the voltage output value of each converter and then the voltage set value is used to obtain the secondary control signal to adjust the droop control. In the figure, {1,2,3,…,n} represents each distributed generation unit in the microgrid system, δ pi is the power exchange amount, a ij is the weight coefficient, x pi and x pj are the power vectors of the converters corresponding to the i-th and j-th distributed units, respectively, v dci is the measured local converter voltage output, V ref Give the system a voltage value. u i The generated secondary control signal.

[0017] Figure 2 The control block diagram for each distributed generation unit is shown. By exchanging data with adjacent controllers, the required power control variables are obtained.
