Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of automatic voltage control, and in particular relates to a distributed photovoltaic control method that takes into account voltage fluctuations between stations. Background Art

[0002] Distributed generation (DG) technology generally refers to small-scale power generation devices based primarily on new and renewable energy sources, deployed close to the load. These include micro-gas turbines with capacities ranging from tens to hundreds of kW, fuel cells, solar photovoltaic technology, wind power generation, and the rapidly developing superconducting energy storage technology. Distributed power sources offer the advantages of low investment, minimal footprint, short construction periods, high energy efficiency, and energy conservation and environmental protection. Because distributed power sources are located close to the load, control of distributed power sources within a substation can directly impact the voltage at the substation's grid connection point. When the substation voltage fluctuates, regulating the active and reactive power of distributed power sources can smooth out the fluctuations, improve power supply reliability, and mitigate issues such as reduced power quality caused by load and voltage fluctuations. Under traditional distribution network models, due to the limited capacity of distributed photovoltaic and other renewable energy sources, distribution network regulation does not consider distributed renewable energy sources as controllable power sources and does not integrate them into the grid dispatching system. This makes it difficult for dispatching agencies to accurately monitor the operating status and output of various distributed energy sources and regulate them.

[0003] In 2021, the National Energy Administration recently issued the "Notice on Submitting the Pilot Plan for the Development of Rooftop Distributed Photovoltaic in the Whole County (City, District)", requiring the effective guarantee of large-scale "connection" of distributed photovoltaics in the pilot areas. A total of 676 counties participated in the pilot, accounting for more than 20% of the more than 3,000 counties and cities in the country. As the proportion of distributed energy increases, its impact on the distribution network is becoming more and more significant. Although distributed power generation technology has many advantages, access to the large power grid has brought a series of impacts on power quality and power dispatching operations. With the surge in distributed photovoltaic capacity, companies in various cities and counties have begun to pay attention to the management and control of distributed photovoltaics, especially the control of reactive power. The balance and reasonable distribution of reactive power are important factors affecting voltage quality and system economy. The current control method is to monitor the voltage of the grid connection point in the substation and adjust the active and reactive power of the distributed photovoltaics in the substation in real time to achieve the purpose of qualified substation voltage. However, this approach fails to consider the mutual influence between substations. Adjacent substations may experience significant voltage deviations due to differences in distributed photovoltaic installed capacity and source-load properties. When substations are close together, adjusting the voltage in one substation can have a significant impact on adjacent substations. To achieve better distributed photovoltaic regulation, a higher level of control and more precise control methods are required to ensure that the voltage in each distributed photovoltaic substation is within the normal range. By leveraging the interactive capabilities between distribution network substations, the capacity to accommodate distributed renewable energy can be increased, thereby improving the grid compatibility of large-scale intermittent renewable energy and optimizing the primary energy structure.

[0004] In summary, driven by various current policies, the installed capacity of distributed photovoltaics has surged. Due to the random output characteristics of distributed renewable energy, the voltage fluctuations in the active distribution network are very frequent. At present, the distributed photovoltaic control system only considers the constraints of directly connected substations for voltage fluctuation control, and does not consider the impact of this control method on adjacent substations. It does not meet the current and future control needs of distributed renewable energy distribution networks with high penetration rates. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the voltage fluctuation of other adjacent substations exceeds the limit due to the voltage problem of regulating a certain node in the distribution network, and to provide a distributed photovoltaic control method that takes into account the voltage fluctuation between substations.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] Step 2: Based on the power flow calculation results, use the topology search method to complete the power supply path search for all substations, group the substation power supply paths by feeder, and calculate the voltage sensitivity matrix between the distribution network substation nodes under the same power supply path;

[0010] Step 3: Calculate the electrical relationship of the substations based on the voltage sensitivity matrix between substations to complete the division of adjacent substations;

[0011] Step 4: When the voltage of a node in a distribution network area exceeds the limit, calculate the voltage deviation of node i in the area and the reactive power regulation required to eliminate the voltage exceeding the limit at node i in the area, and determine whether the adjustable resources of the area exceeding the limit are sufficient. If so, jump to step 5; if not, jump to step 6.

[0012] Step 5: Calculate the voltage change at node j in the adjacent substation caused by this adjustment, taking into account the high-coupling substation and the balanced substation, and determine whether the reactive power adjustment of the substation will cause node j in the adjacent substation to exceed the limit. If yes, jump to step 4; otherwise, jump to step 8.

[0013] Step 6: If the adjustable resources in the substation are insufficient, consider the coordinated regulation of resources in highly coupled adjacent substations, sort the resources by the electrical relationship with substation i, and calculate the voltage deviation after the adjustable resources in substation i are exhausted and the reactive power regulation of node j in the highly coupled adjacent substation.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a distributed photovoltaic control method considering voltage fluctuations between stations, including the following steps:

[0056] Step 1: First, calculate the distribution network flow based on the full distribution network model and measurement data, collect the substation information, and form five matrices: substation reactive upper limit, reactive lower limit, real-time reactive power, voltage upper limit, voltage lower limit, and real-time voltage.

[0063] Step 2: Using the substation as the starting point and the 10kV switch of the distribution network feeder as the end point, use the topology search method based on the power flow calculation results to complete the power supply path search for all substations and group the substation power supply paths by feeder.

[0064] Path f 1=[tg1,tg2,t g3 ,.....tgn ]

[0065] Path f 2=[tg6,tg7,tg8,....tg n ]

[0066] Step 3: Calculate the voltage sensitivity matrix between nodes in the distribution network under the same power supply path;

[0076] Where: A PV 、A QV They are the sensitivity matrix of voltage amplitude to node active power and the sensitivity matrix of voltage amplitude to node reactive power, respectively, which represent the influence of active and reactive power injected by the substation node on the voltage of other nodes;

[0077] According to the above calculation process, the active and reactive sensitivity matrix of the node voltage in the same power supply path to the nodes in different areas is completed.

[0078]

[0079] Where E PV 、E QVThey represent the sensitivity matrices of active and reactive injection of nodes in different substations to the voltage amplitude of other substations.

[0080] Step 4: Calculate the electrical relationship of the substations based on the voltage sensitivity matrix between substations and complete the division of adjacent substations. The division criteria are as follows:

[0081]

[0082] Calculate electrical relationships:

[0083]

[0084] Where: e ij Represents the electrical relationship between node i and node j, The values ​​represent the sensitivity of node i voltage to node j's active power, node j voltage to node i's active power, node i voltage to node j's reactive power, and node j voltage to node i's reactive power, respectively.

[0092]

[0093] Step 9: Determine whether adjusting the reactive power of the substation will cause the j node in the adjacent substation to exceed the limit. If yes, jump to Step 5; if no, jump to Step 13 and issue a control instruction.

[0094]

[0095] Step 10: When the adjustable resources of the substation are insufficient, consider the coordinated adjustment of the resources of the highly coupled adjacent substations and call resources in order of their electrical relationship with substation i. For example, if substation j is ranked first, calculate the voltage deviation after the adjustable resources of substation i are exhausted:

[0096]

[0097] Step 11: Calculate the reactive regulation of node j in the highly coupled adjacent substation:

[0098]

[0099] Step 12: Determine whether the adjustable resources of the j-node in the highly coupled adjacent substation area are sufficient. If so, jump to Step 8. If not, jump to Step 10 and continue to coordinate the adjustment based on the electrical relationship of the j-node in the adjacent substation area.
