Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new energy access and control technology, specifically relating to a new energy power plant-level fault ride-through simulation test system. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, my country's new energy industry has developed rapidly, with large-scale wind farms and photovoltaic power plants becoming the mainstream. As the installed capacity of new energy sources increases daily, the safety and stability of the power grid have declined to some extent. Therefore, the reactive power support capability of new energy power plants for the power grid has become increasingly important, especially in situations where grid voltage faults occur, requiring new energy power plants to provide necessary reactive power support.
[0003] Currently, performance testing for low voltage ride-through (LVRT) and high voltage ride-through (HVRT) of renewable energy power plants is limited to individual test objects. Taking wind farms as an example: current LVRT and HVRT tests are conducted on a single wind turbine or a single static var generator (SVG). After passing the test, other similar wind turbines and SVGs are then upgraded accordingly. Since no actual station-level LVRT and HVRT performance evaluation has been conducted, it cannot be concluded that the renewable energy power plant possesses the required station-level high and low voltage ride-through performance.
[0004] Theoretically, performance evaluation of station-level LVRT and HVRT can be performed on either the primary or secondary side. Performing evaluation on the primary side can realistically simulate voltage dips and rises during grid faults, and the resulting changes in voltage phase angle and power quality are consistent with real grid fault characteristics. However, the test equipment is bulky (requiring large reactive power capacity), difficult to transport, costly to test, and involves complex wiring with a high risk factor. Therefore, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies is a pressing issue in the field of renewable energy access and control technology. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a station-level fault ride-through simulation test system for new energy power plants. This system can perform station-level fault ride-through performance tests on new energy power plants, facilitating the verification and analysis of station-level fault response characteristics under different operating conditions.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A fault ride-through simulation test system for new energy power plants includes a data processing terminal, a test host, and a test slave.
[0008] The test host communicates with the data processing terminal via a network interface;
[0009] The test host and the test slave are connected;
[0010] The test host is used to send the command to be sent or the command to be recalled from the data processing terminal to the test slave.
[0011] The test host is used to record waveforms and record the current sampling data of all channels, and save the waveform data as a Dat format file;
[0012] The test slave device is used to synchronously acquire voltage and current input signals and to output fault voltage signals;
[0013] The test slave receives the curve command sent by the test host, obtains the fault signal synchronization trigger time, and after confirming that the fault signal can be output normally, when the synchronization trigger signal time arrives, it outputs the corresponding fault voltage signal to perform station-level fault ride-through simulation test.
[0014] The data processing terminal is used to receive waveform data files from the test slave and test master, and to perform power plant-level fault ride-through simulation test analysis; it is also used to display and store the received data files, and to test and display the analysis results.
[0015] Furthermore, preferably, the test host communicates with the test slave using a 4G, 5G network, fiber optic cable, or LTE230 private network.
[0016] Furthermore, preferably, the test slave device is a fault signal generator.
[0017] Furthermore, preferably, the test host includes a positioning module, an ARM controller, a conditioning circuit, a high-speed synchronous data acquisition card, a host, and a communication module;
[0018] The test host communicates with the test slave through its communication module;
[0019] The positioning module is connected to the ARM controller;
[0020] The high-speed synchronous data acquisition card is connected to the ARM controller and the conditioning circuit, respectively.
[0021] The host is connected to the communication module, the high-speed synchronous data acquisition card, and the ARM controller, respectively.
[0022] The positioning module is used to send messages and PPS data to the ARM controller;
[0023] Conditioning circuits are used to condition voltage and current signals;
[0024] The high-speed synchronous data acquisition card is used to acquire voltage signals, current signals, and pulse signals from the ARM controller after being conditioned by the conditioning circuit.
[0025] The host sends a trigger start command to the ARM controller to determine the test start time. At the same time, the host starts recording waveforms. At this time, it is in the pre-recording waveform state and records voltage, current and pulse signals. The pulse signal is invalid and the data of the pre-recording waveform time is maintained. When the agreed trigger time is reached, the trigger signal becomes an effective signal and the host is in the waveform recording state until the test is completed.
[0026] The host computer is also used for human-computer interaction.
[0027] Furthermore, preferably, the recording time is set in the data processing terminal before the trigger pulse. T 0 and pre-recorded wave time t 0. Import data; imported data does not meet the recording time requirement. T 0 indicates invalid data; data needs to be re-imported. If the value is greater than the recording time... T 0. Based on the trigger signal, after pulse triggering is completed, the recording time in each file is recalculated. T and pre-recorded wave time t Determine whether the condition is met. t > t 0, and ( T - t )>( T 0- t If the condition is not met, the data is invalid and needs to be re-imported; if the condition is met, the data is merged into the recording data file of the test host, and it is determined whether the data import is complete. If it is complete, data analysis and display are performed; otherwise, the data import continues.
[0028] In this invention, the master file is the recording data file of the test host, and the recording file of the test slave is the slave file.
[0029] Furthermore, preferably, the test slave includes a conditioning circuit, a high-speed synchronous ADC card, and an embedded X86 platform;
[0030] The conditioning circuit is used to condition the FSG voltage and current signals;
[0031] The high-speed synchronous ADC card is used to acquire the FSG voltage signal, current signal and FSG fault trigger signal after being conditioned by the conditioning circuit.
[0032] The embedded x86 platform is used to send FSG fault trigger signals, output fault voltage signals, communicate with the test host, and also for data storage and human-machine interaction.
[0033] Furthermore, preferably, before conducting the station-level fault ride-through simulation test, the test slave and test host are respectively connected to the voltage and current loops of the object under test to confirm that the data processing terminal, the test host, and each test slave communicate normally with each other; then, the data processing terminal sends instructions or voltage curves to the test host; the test host forwards the received instructions or voltage curves to each test slave; each test slave synchronously triggers the fault voltage signal; each test object performs a corresponding fault response; the corresponding fault response data is collected and the station-level fault response characteristics of the power station are analyzed.
[0034] This invention takes a holistic approach, simultaneously triggering simulated fault voltage signals on all tested equipment in a new energy power plant to verify the station-level fault ride-through response characteristics under different operating conditions. Because the low-voltage side testing equipment is small, lightweight, easy to transport, convenient to wire, and suitable for distributed installation, the testing risks and costs are within a controllable range. Furthermore, since the station-level LVRT and HVRT performance tests are based on the premise that each individual tested object passes the test, this invention focuses on the research and development on the low-voltage side.
[0035] In this invention, the high-speed synchronous data acquisition card in the test host uses a high-precision sensor to transform the externally input voltage and current signals. The sampling rate is 12.8KHz and supports free switching of multiple acquisition frequencies. It performs high-speed synchronous sampling on all channels and uses a 16-bit A / D converter, which has the advantages of high conversion accuracy, fast conversion speed, and synchronous sampling.
[0036] In this invention, the test host has an independent waveform recording function. The test host records the current sampling data of all channels, which is convenient for analyzing disturbances or analyzing historical voltage and current change trends. The waveform recording data is saved as a Dat format file for convenient data transmission and analysis.
[0037] In this invention, the test slave device supports multi-channel parallel synchronous acquisition of voltage and current input signals, with a sampling frequency of 12.8KHz and supports free switching of multiple acquisition frequencies; it supports multi-channel voltage output, the output voltage amplitude can be customized according to actual needs and the phase tracks the actual voltage phase of the power grid, and has a continuous timed output function with a continuous output time of not less than 5 minutes; it has a preset curve selection function and can synchronously output fault voltage signals according to the received instructions.
[0038] The voltage output range of the test slave device is 0~1000V.
[0039] The voltage output error of the test slave device is less than or equal to 0.1%.
[0040] The phase output range of the test slave is 0° to 360°.
[0041] The phase output error of the test slave device is less than or equal to 0.1°.
[0042] The data processing terminal of this invention has functions such as data import, reception, display, analysis, and storage. The data processing terminal can import waveform data files from the test slave and test master units, and can synchronize each group of data based on the synchronization fault signals in each waveform data set, integrating them into a complete waveform data set for convenient comprehensive analysis of the power plant-level fault response characteristics.
[0043] If the actual conditions of the power plant prevent the test host and test slave from effectively using the four communication methods of 4G, 5G network, fiber optic or LTE230 private network, or if the communication latency is high or the communication is unstable, different test slave time-triggered methods can be used to achieve the purpose of synchronous testing.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0045] Currently, fault ride-through performance assessments for new energy power plants only target individual tested devices (wind turbines, photovoltaic inverters, or static var generators). Other equipment is assessed by upgrading or modeling the tested individual devices to evaluate the overall fault response performance of the power plant. However, no actual station-level fault ride-through simulation test is conducted. Therefore, it cannot effectively prove that all wind turbines, inverters, or static var generators possess the required fault ride-through capabilities. This invention proposes a station-level fault ride-through simulation test system for new energy power plants, taking a holistic approach. This system ensures that all test slave devices can synchronously trigger fault simulation signals under different new energy plant environments, thereby verifying the station-level fault response characteristics of the power plant under different operating conditions. This system is easily applicable and can be widely promoted. Attached Figure Description

Figure 2 As shown.
[0080] The specific work steps are as follows:

[0091] Based on the low voltage ride-through requirements of the wind farm, the secondary voltage at the grid connection point was reduced to 0.9U by testing the slave unit. N 0.7U N 0.5U N 0.2UN The wind turbine-side voltage outputs are 621V, 483V, 345V, and 138V; the SVG-side voltage outputs are 90V, 70V, 50V, and 20V; and the durations are 2s, 1.705s, 1.214s, and 0.625s, respectively.
