Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind power grid connection system technology, and in particular to a method for calculating variable inertia response time based on virtual inertia control. Background Technology
[0002] Large-scale wind power integration has reduced the proportion of traditional generating units in the power grid, lowering the inertia level and posing a serious challenge to the frequency stability of the power grid. By adding virtual inertia control to the wind turbines, the inertial response capability of synchronous generators can be simulated, thereby improving system frequency stability. Without virtual inertia control, the system's inertial response time hardly changes with wind power penetration. After adding virtual inertia control, the system frequency response process differs under different virtual inertia control coefficients, and the corresponding inertial response time also varies.
[0003] Therefore, how to calculate the inertial response time in the frequency response process after the addition of inertial response has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a variable inertia response time calculation method based on virtual inertia control, which can quantify the inertia response time of wind power grid-connected system after virtual inertia control is added, and provide reliable supporting data for system frequency response.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for calculating variable inertia response time based on virtual inertia control, comprising:
[0006] Step 1: Analyze the frequency response characteristics of the wind turbine and simulate the inertial response capability of a synchronous unit by adding virtual inertia control to the wind turbine.
[0007] Step 2: Analyze the frequency response characteristics of the wind power grid-connected system under load abrupt changes and establish a frequency response model including virtual inertia control parameters;
[0008] Step 3: Based on the frequency response model of the wind power grid-connected system, obtain the inertial response time required when the frequency drops (rises) to the lowest (highest) point.
[0009] Optionally, step 1, analyzing the frequency response characteristics of the wind turbine, simulates the inertial response capability of a synchronous generator by adding virtual inertia control to the wind turbine. Specifically, this includes: introducing a system frequency change signal into the active power control section of the wind turbine, and releasing or absorbing energy through rapid active power adjustment to simulate rotational inertia. Referring to the definition of rotational kinetic energy of a synchronous generator, when the rotor speed of the wind turbine changes, the rotational kinetic energy released or absorbed by the unit can be expressed as:
[0010]
[0011] In the formula, J w ω represents the inherent moment of inertia of the wind turbine generator. s ω represents the angular velocity of the synchronous generator. r J represents the rotor angular velocity of the wind turbine; vir The virtual moment of inertia of the wind turbine is expressed as:
[0012]
[0013] In the formula, Δω r Δω is the change in fan speed. s ω represents the change in synchronous generator speed, λ is the speed regulation coefficient, and ω is the speed variation. r0 Let ω be the initial electric angular velocity of the wind turbine. e ω represents the angular velocity of the synchronous generator.
[0014] It can be seen that in the virtual inertia control process, the variable speed wind turbine can set the speed adjustment coefficient λ according to the grid demand. When the effective inertia of the system is less than 4s, λ>>1 is set to virtually generate a larger rotational inertia than that of a synchronous generator, thus avoiding frequency abrupt changes.
[0015] Optionally, step 2, analyzing the frequency response characteristics of the wind power grid-connected system under load abrupt changes and establishing a frequency response model with virtual inertia control parameters, specifically includes: taking short-time frequency drops as an example, analyzing the frequency dynamic response characteristics of the wind power grid-connected system:
[0016] At the start of the disturbance at time t0, if a power disturbance occurs, such as a sudden increase in load, the system frequency will drop significantly. The synchronous generator sets and wind turbine sets in the system should respond quickly to the frequency change and compensate for the system's power demand through multi-source fast active power support.
[0017] t0~t nadir The first stage is the inertia response stage. The wind turbine shares the unbalanced power borne by the synchronous machine by adding virtual inertia control, thereby slowing down the rate of system frequency drop and avoiding excessive frequency change rate that could lead to excessive system frequency drop and increase the probability of new energy units being disconnected from the grid.
[0018] t nadir ~t p Stage: t nadir At that moment, the frequency dropped to its lowest point, t nadirAfter a certain time, the system frequency begins to recover, and the rate of frequency change changes from negative (df / dt<0) to positive (df / dt>0). Before the frequency stabilizes, the output direction of the wind turbine must remain unchanged. However, if the wind turbine uses a differential element for virtual inertia control, during the frequency recovery phase, the turbine's inertial response output will be opposite to the system demand. Under virtual inertia control, it will absorb power, increasing the frequency regulation burden on the synchronous generator, which can cause slow frequency recovery or even a secondary frequency drop. p This indicates the end time of a single frequency modulation.
[0019] When a load disturbance occurs in the system, the generators in the system respond to the load change. Considering the load response, the generator's inertial response, and primary frequency regulation, a frequency response model with virtual inertia control parameters is established:
[0020]
[0021] In the formula, H is the inertia constant of the synchronous machine, Δf(t) is the frequency value at time t, and ΔP M ΔP1 is the power response signal of the synchronous machine, and ΔP is the power response signal of the wind turbine. L Let D be the load disturbance of the system, and D be the unit regulation power coefficient.
[0022] Optionally, step 3, obtaining the inertial response time required for the frequency to drop (rise) to the lowest (highest) point based on the frequency response model of the wind power grid-connected system, specifically includes: defining the time required for the frequency to drop or rise from the initial value to the maximum value after the system is disturbed as the inertial response time; and obtaining the dynamic equation of the system's frequency response based on the frequency dynamic response calculation model of the wind power grid-connected system as shown in the following formula.
[0023]
[0024] In the formula, D is the system load frequency regulation effect coefficient, ρ represents the wind power penetration rate, and R G F is the droop coefficient of the speed governor. H F is the characteristic coefficient of the turbine, 0 < F H <1,T R Let ΔP be the reheater time constant of the steam turbine. d This represents the initial overload of the system.
[0025] By rearranging the above equation, performing Laplace calculations, and simplifying, we can obtain the relationship between the frequency deviation Δf(s) and time t as shown in the following equation.
[0026]
[0027] in:
[0028]
[0029] The time-domain expression of the frequency response can be obtained by performing the inverse Laplace transform:
[0030]
[0031] in:
[0032]
[0033] Taking the derivative, we can obtain the inertial response time t of the wind power grid-connected system participating in frequency regulation. nadir for:
[0034]
[0035] It can be seen that the inertial response time and parameter w of the wind power grid-connected system n Related to ε, when other parameters in the wind power grid-connected system are constant, the inertial response time of the wind power grid-connected system varies with the parameters of the additional controller of the wind turbine. In order to study the influence of virtual inertia control on the inertial response time of the wind-storage combined system, the values of k1 and wind power penetration rate ρ are changed and plotted. When ρ is constant, the relationship between the inertial response time and k1 is approximately a linear function. By fitting this function, the expression for the inertial response time can be obtained as follows:
[0036] t nadir =a·k1+b
[0037] In the formula, the values of a and b are related to the additional droop control coefficient k1 of the wind turbine and the wind power penetration rate ρ. When ρ is constant, a and b are constant values.
[0038] When the parameters of the additional virtual inertia controller are given, the specific value of the inertial response time for wind power grid connection and frequency regulation can be obtained.
[0039] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0040] This invention addresses the issue of frequency changes caused by load disturbances in a system. It simulates the inertial response of synchronous turbines by adding virtual inertia control to the wind turbines, establishing a frequency response model with virtual inertia control parameters. Then, based on the frequency response model of the wind power grid-connected system, it calculates the inertial response time required for the frequency to drop (rise) to its lowest (highest) point. This invention allows for the quantitative calculation of the inertial response time of a wind power grid-connected system with added virtual inertia control. Attached Figure Description

[0051] Step 1: Analyze the frequency response characteristics of the wind turbine and simulate the inertial response capability of a synchronous unit by adding virtual inertia control to the wind turbine.
[0052] Step 2: Analyze the frequency response characteristics of the wind power grid-connected system under load abrupt changes and establish a frequency response model including virtual inertia control parameters;
[0053] Step 3: Based on the frequency response model of the wind power grid-connected system, obtain the inertial response time required when the frequency drops (rises) to the lowest (highest) point.
[0054] By introducing a system frequency change signal into the active power control section of the wind turbine, energy is released or absorbed through rapid active power regulation, thus simulating a rotational inertia. Referring to the definition of rotational kinetic energy of a synchronous generator, the rotational kinetic energy released or absorbed by the unit when the rotor speed of the wind turbine changes can be expressed as:
[0055]
[0056] In the formula, J w ω represents the inherent moment of inertia of the wind turbine generator. s ω represents the angular velocity of the synchronous generator. r J represents the rotor angular velocity of the wind turbine; vir The virtual moment of inertia of the wind turbine is expressed as:

[0059] As can be seen from equation (2), in the virtual inertia control process, the variable speed wind turbine can set the speed adjustment coefficient λ according to the grid demand. When the effective inertia of the system is less than 4s, λ>>1 can be set to virtually generate a larger rotational inertia than the synchronous generator, thus avoiding frequency abrupt changes.

[0061] At the start of the disturbance at time t0, if a power disturbance occurs, such as a sudden increase in load, the system frequency will drop significantly. The synchronous generator sets and wind turbine sets in the system should respond quickly to the frequency change and compensate for the system's power demand by providing multi-source fast active power support.
[0062] t0~t nadirThe first stage is the inertia response stage.

Before the frequency stabilizes, the output direction of the wind turbine must remain unchanged. However, if the wind turbine uses a differential element for virtual inertia control, during the frequency recovery phase, the turbine's inertial response output will be opposite to the system demand. Under virtual inertia control, it will absorb power, increasing the frequency regulation burden on the synchronous generator, which can cause slow frequency recovery or even a secondary frequency drop. p This indicates the end time of a single frequency modulation.
[0064] Figure 3 This is a simplified frequency model diagram of a power system that takes wind power into account. When load disturbances occur in the system, the generators in the system respond to load changes. Considering the load response, the generator inertial response, and primary frequency regulation, a frequency response model with virtual inertia control parameters is established:
[0065]
[0066] In the formula, H is the inertia constant of the synchronous machine, Δf(t) is the frequency value at time t, and ΔP M ΔP1 is the power response signal of the synchronous machine, and ΔP is the power response signal of the wind turbine. L Let D be the load disturbance of the system, and D be the unit regulation power coefficient.
[0067] The inertial response time is defined as the time required for the frequency to drop or rise from its initial value to reach its maximum value after the system is disturbed. According to the frequency dynamic response calculation model of the wind power grid-connected system, the dynamic equation of the system's frequency response can be obtained as shown in the following equation.
[0068]
[0069] In the formula, D is the system load frequency regulation effect coefficient, ρ represents the wind power penetration rate, and R G F is the droop coefficient of the speed governor. H F is the characteristic coefficient of the turbine, 0 < F H <1,T R Let ΔP be the reheater time constant of the steam turbine. dThis represents the initial overload of the system.

The simulation system includes three synchronous generators with capacities of 600MVA, 600MVA and 900MVA respectively, and a DFIG of 300 × 2MW doubly fed wind turbine units. The initial penetration rate of wind turbine units is 30%.
[0086] When the additional virtual inertia control coefficient of the wind turbine is set to 0, 10 and 20 respectively, a system disturbance with a sudden load increase of 20% is set at 2s. Figure 6 These are the frequency response curves under different additional virtual inertia coefficients. As the additional virtual inertia coefficient of the wind turbine increases, the inertial response time of the system increases. According to equation (9), when the additional virtual inertia control coefficients of the wind turbine are 0, 10, and 20, the theoretical values are 2.59s, 3.33s, and 4.00s, respectively, and the simulation results are approximately 2.61s, 3.35s, and 4.03s, respectively. The error between the simulation results and the calculation results is within 5%. The simulation results verify the correctness of the inertial response time calculation and analysis results.
