Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power technology, and in particular to a grid-connected stability control system for a photovoltaic power station, as well as its control method and stability control device. Background Technology
[0002] The grid-connected stability control system of a photovoltaic power plant includes a stability control device installed within the photovoltaic power plant, a higher-level stability control system, and an inverter interface controller. The inverter interface controller is connected to the corresponding photovoltaic array via cable communication. The main function of the stability control device is to ensure the stability of the power system when encountering large disturbances. In the event of severe faults such as DC fault blocking or AC transmission channel interruption, it addresses the safety and stability of the power grid by taking measures such as generator tripping, load shedding, and emergency DC power boosting or reduction.
[0003] Compared to traditional power stabilization devices, existing photovoltaic (PV) power plant stabilization devices offer the functions of directly disconnecting the PV array and quickly adjusting the stabilization power. When performing quick power adjustment, the inverter interface controller rapidly adjusts the power output of all PV power plants to the minimum power of 0.1 pu. The advantage of disconnecting the PV array is its speed; after directly tripping the corresponding grid connection switch, the power output of the PV inverter can instantly become zero. The disadvantage is that restoring the system to its pre-fault operating state is more complicated, as the PV power plant must reconnect to the grid and the switch must be re-closed. The advantage of the quick power adjustment function is its convenience and speed in restoring the system to its pre-fault operating state; after a fault, directly resetting the inverter interface controller quickly increases the PV inverter power to its pre-fault level. The disadvantage is that the adjustment speed of the entire process is significantly slower than the strategy of directly disconnecting the PV array.
[0004] The stability control device within a photovoltaic power station is equipped with a control word, the value of which is manually set to 0 or 1 based on actual conditions. When implementing remote stability control strategies, the existing stability control device in a photovoltaic power station performs generator tripping / power modulation functions according to instructions from the superior stability control system. Specifically, if the control word is set to 0, it indicates that the corresponding stability control device is in "modulation" mode. Upon receiving an instruction from the superior stability control system to disconnect the photovoltaic power station units, the stability control device performs a fast adjustment of the stability control power. If the control word is set to 1, it indicates that the corresponding stability control device is in "disconnection" mode. Upon receiving an instruction from the superior stability control system to disconnect the photovoltaic power station units, the stability control device performs a direct disconnection of the photovoltaic array, thereby directly tripping the corresponding grid connection point (feeder, low-voltage side of the main transformer, etc.) switch.
[0005] However, for large disturbances in the power system, such as severe instability conditions like power angle instability, a strategy of directly disconnecting the photovoltaic array is preferable. For small disturbances in the power system, such as frequency instability, voltage instability, and line overload, a strategy of fast power regulation should be adopted. Existing stability control devices in photovoltaic power plants, when implementing remote stability control strategies, simply determine whether to directly disconnect the photovoltaic array or implement fast power regulation based on the values configured in the control word. This results in a lack of flexibility in stability control, and when implementing fast power regulation, it directly adjusts the power output of all photovoltaic power plants, easily leading to power waste. Summary of the Invention

[0062] This invention provides a grid-connected stability control system and its control method and device for photovoltaic power plants. It addresses the technical problems of existing photovoltaic power plant stability control methods, which directly determine whether to directly disconnect the photovoltaic array or perform fast power adjustment based on the value configured in the control word. This results in a lack of flexibility in stability control, and when fast power adjustment is performed, it directly adjusts the power output of all photovoltaic power plants, which can easily lead to power waste.
[0063] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0064] This invention provides a control method for a grid-connected stability control system of a photovoltaic power plant. The method is applied to a stability control device, which is connected to a higher-level stability control system and an inverter interface controller. Each inverter interface controller is connected to a corresponding photovoltaic array.
[0065] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a control method for a grid-connected stability control system for a photovoltaic power plant, provided by an embodiment of the present invention, is shown.
[0066] This invention provides a control method for a photovoltaic power plant grid-connected stability control system, comprising:
[0067] Step S1: Determine the photovoltaic array corresponding to each connected inverter interface controller, divide all photovoltaic arrays into switching groups and modulation groups, and divide all photovoltaic arrays in the modulation group into multiple sub-photovoltaic array groups.
[0068] In this embodiment, all photovoltaic arrays are divided into two parts: one part is used to execute the switching command, and the other part is used to execute the modulation command. The division of the switching and modulation groups can be done by the stability control device in a random manner, or the stability control device can divide the switching and modulation groups according to pre-stored preset photovoltaic array division rules or obtain preset photovoltaic array division rules.
[0069] In one feasible manner, dividing all photovoltaic arrays in the modulation group into multiple sub-photovoltaic array groups includes:
[0070] Obtain the modulation priority of all photovoltaic arrays in the modulation group;
[0071] All photovoltaic arrays in the modulation group are sorted in descending order of modulation priority to obtain a sorted photovoltaic array sequence.
[0072] The sorted photovoltaic array sequence is divided into multiple sub-photovoltaic array groups.
[0073] In this embodiment, all photovoltaic arrays in the modulation group are sorted according to their modulation priority from high to low. Then, the sorted photovoltaic array sequence is divided into sub-photovoltaic array groups. This allows subsequent steps to prioritize the sub-photovoltaic array groups with higher overall modulation priority for fast power adjustment, achieving fine modulation and improving the accuracy of power regulation.
[0074] When dividing the sorted photovoltaic array sequence into multiple sub-photovoltaic array groups, it can be done through random or equal division. For random or equal division, the number of groups is preset, and the division is then performed based on the number of groups.
[0075] In another feasible approach, the photovoltaic array sequence can be divided according to the region to which it belongs, grouping photovoltaic array sequences belonging to the same specific region into the same sub-photovoltaic array group. This can improve the efficiency of fast adjustment of stable power.
[0076] It should be noted that, in other feasible methods, all photovoltaic arrays in the modulation group can also be randomly divided into multiple sub-photovoltaic array groups.
[0077] Step S2: Receive the active power of the photovoltaic array sent by the interface controllers of each connected inverter, determine the controllable capacity information based on the active power, and send it to the upper-level stability control system; the controllable capacity information includes the maximum switchable capacity of the photovoltaic array corresponding to the switching unit and the maximum modulated capacity of the photovoltaic array corresponding to each sub-photovoltaic array group.
[0078] In this embodiment, sending the controllable capacity information to the upper-level stability control system facilitates the upper-level system in determining the required switching capacity / modulation capacity based on the controllable capacity information. For example, when the upper-level stability control system calculates the theoretical required switching capacity / modulation capacity according to relevant rules, if the theoretical required switching capacity / modulation capacity is greater than the corresponding controllable capacity, then the corresponding controllable capacity is used as the actual required switching capacity / modulation capacity, thereby generating a stability control command based on the actual required switching capacity / modulation capacity.
[0079] It should be noted that the corresponding rules or methods for calculating the theoretical required switching capacity / modulation capacity can refer to existing calculation methods, and are not limited in this embodiment.
[0080] Step S3: Receive the stability control command sent by the upper-level stability control system when a fault occurs in the corresponding power system; the stability control command is generated by the upper-level stability control system based on the controllable capacity information and the instability condition corresponding to the fault in the corresponding power system.
[0081] In this embodiment, the determination of whether to perform a power grid trip or modulation is made by the upper-level stability control system based on the instability condition corresponding to the power system fault. For large disturbances in the power system, such as power angle instability, a strategy of directly cutting off the photovoltaic array is preferable; for small disturbances, such as frequency instability, voltage instability, and line overload, a strategy of rapid power adjustment should be adopted. Referring to this, as a specific implementation, in this embodiment, when the instability condition corresponding to the power system fault is a relatively severe instability condition such as power angle instability, the stability control command generated is a power grid trip command; while when the instability condition corresponding to the power system fault is a condition such as frequency instability, voltage instability, or line overload, the stability control command generated is a modulation command.
[0082] Step S4: If the stability control command is a tripping command, a photovoltaic array cutoff command is sent to the inverter interface controller corresponding to the tripping group according to the tripping command, so that the corresponding inverter interface controller controls the tripping of the corresponding grid connection point switch; if the stability control command is a modulation command, according to the order of each sub-photovoltaic array group in the modulation group, a stability control power fast adjustment command is sent to the corresponding inverter interface controller in rounds, so that the corresponding inverter interface controller performs power modulation on the corresponding photovoltaic array.
[0083] In existing technologies, rapid power modulation is not phased; that is, regardless of whether the fault is severe or minor, the entire photovoltaic power station's power is directly reduced to the minimum. This approach lacks precision and easily leads to power waste. For example, for some minor instability conditions, adjusting the power of only a portion of the photovoltaic array can achieve stable and safe system control. Using existing modulation methods results in significant power waste. In this embodiment, according to the order of the sub-photovoltaic arrays in the modulation group, rapid power adjustment commands are sent to the corresponding inverter interface controllers in phases, improving the precision of stability control and effectively avoiding power waste.
[0084] In one feasible implementation, the tripping command includes the required tripping capacity, and the step of sending a photovoltaic array tripping command to the inverter interface controller corresponding to the tripping unit according to the tripping command includes:
[0085] Select photovoltaic arrays from the cut-off units and add them to the set of photovoltaic arrays to be cut, until the total modulotable capacity of the photovoltaic arrays in the set of photovoltaic arrays to be cut reaches the required cut-off capacity;
[0086] Send a command to disconnect the photovoltaic array to the inverter interface controller corresponding to each of the photovoltaic arrays that need to be disconnected.
[0087] In a specific implementation, photovoltaic arrays can be selected from the photovoltaic arrays to be switched in descending order of priority.
[0088] In the above embodiments of the present invention, the photovoltaic arrays to be cut off are predetermined based on the required capacity, and then a command to cut off the photovoltaic array is sent to the inverter interface controller corresponding to the photovoltaic array to be cut off, thereby realizing the execution of the cut-off command. The photovoltaic arrays to be cut off are selected in descending order of cut-off priority, which allows for more precise cut-off and improves the flexibility of stable control.
[0089] In other feasible methods, a photovoltaic array cutoff command can be sequentially sent to the inverter interface controllers corresponding to the photovoltaic arrays in the unit being cut off. The actual number of photovoltaic arrays cut off, reported by each inverter interface controller, can be tallied. It can then be determined whether the tallied actual number of cutoffs reaches the required cutoff capacity. If it does, the sending of the photovoltaic array cutoff command can be stopped. In this embodiment, the execution process of the cutoff command is relatively long, but because the decision to continue sending photovoltaic array cutoff commands to the inverter interface controllers corresponding to other photovoltaic arrays is based on the actual number of cutoffs, the accuracy of the cutoff can be improved.
[0090] In one feasible implementation, the modulation command includes the required modulation capacity, and the step of sending a stabilization power fast adjustment command to the corresponding inverter interface controller in rounds according to the order of each of the sub-photovoltaic array groups in the modulation group includes:
[0091] Send a power stabilization command to the inverter interface controller corresponding to the first group of sub-photovoltaic arrays arranged in the modulation group;
[0092] The power regulation amount for the current cycle is calculated based on the actual power regulation amount fed back by the corresponding inverter interface controller, and the cumulative power regulation amount is updated based on the calculated power regulation amount for the current cycle.
[0093] Determine whether the new cumulative power adjustment amount has reached the required modulation capacity; if yes, determine that the modulation command has been completed and end the current stabilization power fast adjustment; if no, send the stabilization power fast adjustment command to the inverter interface controller corresponding to the next group of sub-photovoltaic arrays in the modulation group and return to the previous step.
[0094] For example, the modulation group has four sub-photovoltaic array groups. According to this embodiment, when a modulation command is received from the upper-level stability control system, the first to the fourth groups perform power modulation in rounds. When the power adjustment amount required by the upper-level stability control system is met, the power adjustment stops.
[0095] In other feasible methods, when sending the power regulation command to the corresponding inverter interface controller in rounds according to the order of each sub-photovoltaic array group in the modulation group, the sub-photovoltaic array group that needs to be modulated can also be pre-determined according to the required modulation capacity, so that the power modulation is performed in rounds according to the order of the sub-photovoltaic array group that needs to be modulated in the modulation group.
[0096] The above embodiments of the present invention illustrate specific implementation methods for the stabilization control device to execute a remote stabilization control strategy. In one feasible implementation, the stabilization control device is equipped with a control word, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 1 Based on the method shown, the method further includes:
[0097] Step S5: When the local stabilization control strategy is triggered, if the current control word is set to 1, a command to disconnect the photovoltaic array is sent to the inverter interface controller corresponding to the disconnected unit, so that the corresponding inverter interface controller controls the tripping of the corresponding grid connection point switch; if the current control word is set to 0, according to the order of each of the sub-photovoltaic array groups in the modulation group, a power stabilization fast adjustment command is sent to the corresponding inverter interface controller in rounds, so that the corresponding inverter interface controller performs power modulation on the corresponding photovoltaic array; the execution of the local stabilization control strategy includes the execution of high-frequency, low-frequency disconnection or fault disconnection actions.
[0098] In this embodiment, referencing existing methods for selecting switching and rapid power modulation based on control words, a new specific implementation method for the local stabilization control strategy executed by the stability control device is added. The control word is manually set by the operator. The control word setting is only used to select switching or power modulation functions when the stability control device executes its own local stabilization control strategy (i.e., high-frequency, low-frequency disconnection, or fault disconnection). The selection of switching / power modulation for the remote stabilization control strategy is determined by the upper-level stability control system and is independent of the control word. The relevant control principles are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0099] The present invention also provides a stabilization control device for a photovoltaic power plant grid-connected stability control system. The stabilization control device is connected to an upper-level stabilization control system and an inverter interface controller. Each inverter interface controller is connected to a corresponding photovoltaic array. The stabilization control device can be used to execute the control method of the photovoltaic power plant grid-connected stability control system described in any of the above embodiments of the present invention.
[0100] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 The diagram shows the structural connection of a stabilization device in a photovoltaic power plant grid-connected stability control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0101] This invention provides a stabilization device for a photovoltaic power plant grid-connected stability control system, comprising:
[0102] Photovoltaic array partitioning module 1 is used to determine the photovoltaic arrays corresponding to each connected inverter interface controller, divide all photovoltaic arrays into switching groups and modulation groups, and divide all photovoltaic arrays in the modulation group into multiple sub-photovoltaic array groups.
[0103] The controllable capacity reporting module 2 is used to receive the active power of the photovoltaic array sent by the interface controllers of each connected inverter, determine the controllable capacity information based on the active power, and send it to the upper-level stability control system; the controllable capacity information includes the maximum switchable capacity of the photovoltaic array corresponding to the switching unit and the maximum modulated capacity of the photovoltaic array corresponding to each sub-photovoltaic array group.
