Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of converter control technology, specifically to a virtual synchronous generator control method based on active power tracking and frequency support control decoupling. Background Technology

[0002] New energy power generation is characterized by intermittency, randomness, and uncertainty. Large-scale grid connection of new energy sources poses a severe challenge to the stable operation of the power grid. In order to enable converters to provide inertia support and frequency regulation services for the power grid, various converter control methods have emerged. Among them, virtual synchronous generator control technology can provide inertia support and primary frequency regulation services for the power grid, and therefore has received widespread attention in the industry.

[0003] Existing traditional virtual synchronous generator control schemes suffer from the following problems: the poles of active power point tracking (APS) and frequency support control (FSC) coincide, and the two are coupled through these poles. When increasing the poles of APS to improve power response speed, the power output capability of FSC is attenuated. This traditional virtual synchronous generator scheme struggles to simultaneously improve both the speed of APS and the power output capability of FSC. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a virtual synchronous generator control method based on active power tracking and frequency support control decoupling, so as to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention provides a virtual synchronous generator control method based on the decoupling of active power tracking and frequency support control, comprising: adding differential feedforward control to the transfer function of the active power tracking control of the virtual synchronous generator, reducing the active power tracking control to a first-order system, enabling the active power tracking control to respond to power commands quickly and without overshoot, and coupling the active power tracking control and frequency support control through poles.

[0007] Preferably, proportional control, derivative control, and high-pass filtering are introduced into the transfer function of the frequency support control of the virtual synchronous generator to eliminate steady-state errors caused by damping, improve the zero-pole degrees of freedom of the frequency support control, eliminate the coupling of the active power tracking control, and improve the power output capability of the frequency support control.

[0008] Preferably, by incorporating differential feedforward control into the transfer function of the virtual synchronous generator active power tracking control, the transfer function becomes:

[0009]

[0010] Where J is the inertia coefficient of the virtual synchronous generator, and D p K is the droop coefficient. D Where ω0 is the damping coefficient, K is the rated angular frequency, and K is the proportionality coefficient from power angle to power. d These are the coefficients of the differential controller.

[0011] Preferably, the poles are P1 and P2, and the zero is Z. 1, Then there is

[0012]

[0013] Using the pole-zero cancellation method, let the zero Z1 equal P1, then the transfer function becomes:

[0014]

[0015] At this point, the active power tracking control is reduced to a first-order system, and the active power tracking control and frequency support control are coupled through pole P2.

[0016] Preferably, by introducing proportional control, derivative control, and high-pass filtering into the transfer function of the frequency support control of the virtual synchronous generator, the transfer function becomes:

[0017]

[0018] Preferably, when s = 0, it is determined by G. ω-p From the expression, we can know K D This causes a steady-state error in the system, let K g equal to -K D If the steady-state error caused by damping can be eliminated, then:

[0019]

[0020] Let the zeros of the numerator be Z1 and Z2, and the poles of the denominator be P1, P2, and P3, where P3 equals 1 / D. Then:

[0021]

[0022] Let Z3 = P1, the frequency support control transfer function is:

[0023]

[0024] Depend on achievable

[0025]

[0026] Among them, Z2 and P3 can be accessed through K. rT and D are freely adjustable, allowing the differential element determined by Z2 and P3 to encompass the range of grid frequency variations. When the grid frequency changes, frequency support control provides inertial power support to the grid. Since the response speed of active power tracking control is much faster than that of frequency support control, and P2 determines the response speed of active power tracking control while P3 and Z2 determine the inertia of frequency support control, P2 is much larger than P3, thus achieving decoupling between active power tracking control and frequency support control.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Active power tracking control is reduced from a second-order system to a first-order system through differential feedforward control; proportional feedforward control is introduced into the forward channel of frequency support control to eliminate steady-state errors caused by damping; using a high-pass filter and a differential controller, on the one hand, slow-response poles are eliminated through zero-pole cancellation, keeping the frequency support control a second-order system; on the other hand, the adjustable degrees of freedom of the zeros and poles of the frequency support control are increased, thereby enhancing the inertial power output capability of the frequency support control.

[0043] Example

[0044] This embodiment provides a virtual synchronous generator control strategy based on the decoupling of active power tracking control and frequency support control. The active power tracking control is downgraded from a second-order system to a first-order system through differential feedforward control. Proportional feedforward control is introduced into the forward channel of the frequency support control to eliminate steady-state errors caused by damping. A high-pass filter and a differential controller are used to eliminate slow-response poles through zero-pole cancellation, keeping the frequency support control a second-order system. Furthermore, the adjustable degrees of freedom of the zeros and poles of the frequency support control are increased, thereby enhancing the inertial power output capability of the frequency support control.

[0045] Specifically, the generator solution described in this embodiment is as follows:

[0046] 1. Power Tracking Control (PTC) Order Reduction

[0047] Traditional virtual synchronous generators, such as Figure 3 As shown, the grid-connected output power is:

[0048]

[0049] The active power tracking control transfer function is:

[0050]

[0051] To achieve fast, overshoot-free command power tracking, this embodiment employs the following method: Figure 1 The differential feedforward control shown below transforms the transfer function into:

[0052]

[0053] In the formula, K d Let P1 and P2 be the coefficients of the differential controller. Let the poles be P1 and P2, and the zero be Z1. Then we have...

[0054] Using the pole-zero cancellation method, let the zero Z1 equal P1, then the transfer function becomes:

[0055]

[0056] At this point, active power tracking control can respond to power commands quickly and without overshoot.

[0057] 2. Decoupling of active power tracking control and frequency support control

[0058] The traditional frequency support control transfer function is:

[0059]

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, by introducing a proportional controller, a derivative controller, and a high-pass filter, the transfer function becomes:

[0061]

[0062] When s = 0, by G ω-p From the expression, we can know K D This causes a steady-state error in the system, let K g equal to -K D If the steady-state error caused by damping can be eliminated, then:

[0063]

[0064] Let the zeros of the numerator be Z1 and Z2, and the poles of the denominator be P1, P2, and P3, where P3 equals 1 / D.

[0065]

[0066] Let Z3 = P1, the frequency support control transfer function is:

[0067]

[0068] Depend on achievable

[0069]

[0070] From the expressions for Z2 and P3, it can be seen that Z2 and P3 can be obtained through K. r T and D are freely adjustable, allowing the differential element determined by Z2 and P3 to encompass the range of grid frequency variations. When the grid frequency changes, frequency support control can provide rapid inertial power support to the grid.

[0071] This embodiment decouples the power point tracking (PPT) control and frequency support control of the virtual synchronous generator. The improved response speed of PPT control no longer affects the power output of frequency support control. PPT control, with its fast response speed, can provide auxiliary frequency regulation services to the power grid. Frequency support control provides rapid inertia support to the power grid. A single virtual synchronous generator achieves dual functions, realizing the goal of "one machine, two uses."

[0072] In summary, the virtual synchronous generator control strategy based on the decoupling of active power point tracking (APS) and frequency support control described in this embodiment of the invention decouples APS and frequency support control. APS has a fast response speed, providing rapid auxiliary frequency regulation services to the power grid; frequency support control provides rapid inertial power support to the power grid. The introduction of proportional feedforward in APS reduces the active power point tracking control from a second-order system to a first-order system, while the introduction of proportional feedforward eliminates steady-state errors caused by damping. The introduction of a differential controller and a high-pass filter in frequency support control increases the zero-pole degrees of freedom, eliminating the coupling of APS. Furthermore, the introduction of a differential controller and a high-pass filter enhances the power output capability of frequency support control.

[0073] While the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that, based on the technical solutions disclosed in the present invention, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
