Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a stability analysis method for a multi-machine parallel system of energy storage converters, belonging to the field of power electronics application technology. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of the global energy crisis and the "dual carbon" problem, renewable energy power generation technology has received more attention, with large-scale energy storage technology providing crucial support for its development. As the scale of renewable energy power generation expands, the size of energy storage systems is also continuously increasing, and the number of parallel-connected energy storage converters (PCS), which serve as the interface between the energy storage system and the grid, is gradually increasing as well.
[0003] A typical PCS topology consists of an inverter and an LCL filter. As the number of PCS connected in parallel increases, various stability issues arise. Under grid-connected conditions, due to line impedance, coupling effects and interactions occur between PCS and between the PCS and the grid, making the system's resonant characteristics more complex. Therefore, to ensure the safe and stable operation of the entire system when multiple PCS are connected in parallel, system stability analysis is required, and corresponding control schemes must be provided. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the resonance problem in multiple grid-connected PCS parallel systems by employing a capacitor current feedback active damping method. This control method compensates for system resonance spikes, improves system stability, reduces grid current distortion, and improves power quality. The stability analysis method for multi-PCS parallel systems proposed in this invention is used to determine the operating status of the parallel system, ensuring stable operation, and providing a theoretical basis for the parameter design of the PCS controller.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a stability analysis method for a multi-machine parallel system of energy storage converters, comprising the following steps:
[0006] 1) Based on the topology of a single grid-connected PCS and the current feedforward decoupling PI control strategy adopted in the dq coordinate system, and under the condition of using capacitor current feedback active damping control, a current loop control block diagram of a single PCS is established. By using Mason's formula to simplify the block diagram, the Norton equivalent circuit model of a single PCS can be established.
[0007] 2) Based on the equivalent model of a single grid-connected PCS, an equivalent model of a parallel system of n PCS is established. Through the superposition principle and circuit simplification, the relationship matrix between the grid-side current of each PCS, the output voltage of the PCS, and the grid voltage is derived. By plotting the logarithmic frequency response curve of the transfer function of the parallel system, the resonance characteristics of the system are analyzed.
[0008] 3) After introducing the active damping strategy of capacitor current feedback, a single PCS can be represented by the Norton equivalent circuit in the form of admittance. Based on this, each parallel PCS system is equivalent to a structural model in which the current source and the output impedance are connected in parallel and connected to the power grid through the power grid equivalent impedance. Thus, the Norton equivalent circuit of the n parallel PCS system can be obtained.
[0009] 4) Plot the logarithmic frequency response curve of the transfer function of the n PCS parallel system to verify the impact of the active damping control strategy on the resonance peak of the parallel system and the system stability.
[0010] Preferably: the single PCS current loop control block diagram of the capacitor current feedback type active damping control in step 1) includes sampling and filtering the capacitor current i. c Multiply it by a feedback coefficient H i The current is applied to the modulated wave signal to achieve active damping of the system. The specific implementation of this block diagram is as follows: PCS grid-side current setpoint i 2_ref The difference between this value and its actual value i2 is calculated, and after passing through the PI controller, the capacitor current i is subtracted. c The feedback is then multiplied by the gain K of PCS. PWM The output voltage u of the PCS is obtained. i Based on the relationship between voltage and current in the LCL filter topology, a complete current loop control block diagram is obtained.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, step 2) is as follows: Each PCS is equivalent to a controlled voltage source and connected to the power grid through the equivalent impedance of the LCL filter and the equivalent impedance of the line. Assuming that all parameters of each PCS in the parallel system are the same, including their hardware and software parameters, the relationship matrix between the grid-side current of each PCS and its own PCS output voltage, the output voltage of other PCS, and the grid voltage is derived through the superposition principle and circuit simplification. These are represented as G1, G2, and H1, respectively. The logarithmic frequency response curves of G1, G2, and H1 are plotted, thereby analyzing the resonance characteristics of the system without introducing an active damping strategy.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the Norton equivalent circuit of the n PCS parallel system in step 3) is as follows:

[0019] According to equation (3), a single PCS can be represented by a Norton equivalent circuit in admittance form, where I*(s) is the equivalent current source, and T eq (s) is the equivalent admittance, and
[0020]
[0021] Therefore, each parallel PCS system can be represented as a structural model where a current source and an output impedance are connected in parallel, and the system is connected to the grid through the grid's equivalent impedance. Assuming all PCS systems are identical, their equivalent admittances are the same. According to the superposition theorem, taking the first PCS as an example, the following grid-side current can be obtained:
[0022]
[0023] As a preferred option: Step 4) plots the logarithmic frequency response curve of the transfer function of the n parallel PCS system to analyze the system stability, specifically as follows: Equation (5) has three independent terms. For the first PCS, these three terms represent the grid-side current I1(s) and the excitation sources I1*(s), I2*(s) ~ I when these excitation sources act alone. n *(s), U g The transfer function between (s) is similar for other PCS. Based on this, the grid-side current I1(s) and the current reference value I are plotted. 1ref (s), I 2ref (s) and voltage source U g The logarithmic frequency response curve of the transfer function between (s) is used to analyze the stability of the system.

The stability analysis method for PCS multi-machine parallel systems proposed in this invention is used to determine the operating status of the parallel system, ensuring stable operation, and providing a theoretical basis for the parameter design of the PCS controller.

By plotting the logarithmic frequency response curve of the transfer function of the parallel system, the resonance characteristics of the system are analyzed.
[0038] 3) After introducing the active damping strategy of capacitor current feedback, a single PCS can be represented by the Norton equivalent circuit in the form of admittance. Based on this, each parallel PCS system is equivalent to a structural model in which the current source and the output impedance are connected in parallel and connected to the power grid through the power grid equivalent impedance. Thus, the Norton equivalent circuit of the n parallel PCS system can be obtained.

The specific implementation of this block diagram is as follows: PCS grid-side current setpoint i 2_ref The difference between this value and its actual value i2 is calculated, and after passing through the PI controller, the capacitor current i is subtracted. c The feedback is then multiplied by the gain K of PCS. PWM The output voltage u of the PCS is obtained. i Based on the relationship between voltage and current in the LCL filter topology, a complete current loop control block diagram is obtained.
