Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power grid safety technology, and in particular to a power grid protection method for a zoned collaborative control UPFC and an adjustable generator. Background Technology

[0002] Although the development of smart grids has improved the reliability of power systems, the frequent occurrence of large-scale power outages still causes inconvenience to production and daily life, resulting in huge economic losses. This means that relying solely on existing protection systems may not be enough to prevent power outages, thus necessitating the development of new methods to enhance the security performance of the power grid based on existing protection systems.

[0003] Traditional power grid protection strategies are mostly based on relay protection systems. When a fault occurs, relays closer to the fault point operate, thus preventing cascading accidents. However, relay protection systems are prone to malfunction, and there are numerous real-world cases of relay malfunctions leading to cascading accidents. With the development of power electronics, Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) are increasingly being used in power grid control and protection. Unified Power Flow Controllers (UPFCs), as a new generation of FACTS devices, have the functions of controlling power flow and stabilizing voltage. In practical cases, UPFCs have been used in the power grids of Suzhou, Nanjing, and Shanghai in Jiangsu Province. However, these applications only focus on the protection and support role of a single UPFC station for the local power grid, limiting the impact to the local area. Existing control strategies focus on the control of a single UPFC project and have not actually studied the protective effect of the synergy between UPFC projects in these three locations on the Jiangsu-Shanghai power grid. Therefore, researching the synergistic effect of multiple UPFC devices on the support of the regional power grid is an urgent gap to be filled.

[0004] Therefore, the narrow scope of application and limited protection of existing technologies, as well as the single control strategy of UPFC devices, are technical problems that urgently need to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0038] Furthermore, based on the objective function and each of the constraints, the optimization problem is transformed into an optimization problem model, the specific expression of which is as follows:

[0069] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0070] This invention provides a power grid protection method for zoned collaborative control UPFC and adjustable generators, comprising the following steps:

[0071] S1: Based on the partitioned power grid, establish the objective function for the optimization problem;

[0072] S2: Establish multiple constraints;

[0073] S3: Based on the objective function and the constraints, the optimization problem is transformed into an optimization problem model;

Adjust the power flow injected into the bus on the sub-region A side through UPFC to eliminate the fault. Share the adjusted boundary information of the sub-region A side with the neighboring sub-region B, and determine whether the fault has been completely eliminated.

[0077] S7: If the fault is completely eliminated, it is only necessary to adjust the power flow injected into the boundary bus of the UPFC on the B side of the sub-region to eliminate the power flow change on the common transmission line. The sub-region B no longer needs to solve the optimization problem, and the fault can be resolved.

[0078] S8: If the fault still exists, sub-region B solves the optimization problem of sub-region B based on the boundary information shared by neighboring sub-region A, shares the solution result of sub-region B with the other neighboring sub-regions, and continues to determine whether the neighboring sub-regions need to solve the sub-optimization problem of that region, until the fault is completely eliminated.

[0079] Specifically, the implementation of this invention is based on a partitioned power grid. For large-scale power grids, they can be first divided into regions. Taking the IEEE 24-bus system as an example, the partitioned regions are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. For a power network with M bus nodes and N transmission lines, the following can be used: Represents the set of bus nodes. Represents a set of transmission lines. (Letters) Indicates a bus node. Indicates connecting busbar section and Transmission lines. (Uppercase letters) , , It is the identifier of a sub-region. Without loss of generality, Subregion bus nodes in This represents the boundary bus node in the sub-region. Subregion The boundary generatrix. Similarly... This represents a common transmission line between different sub-regions. Indicates connecting sub-regions and subregions The common transmission line. Furthermore, this invention does not distinguish between UPFC and adjustable generators, merging them during modeling and uniformly replacing both with the UPFC identifier. The following optimization problem is first proposed:

[0080] The objective function of the optimization problem is as follows:

[0081] (1.1)

[0082] In the formula for The column vector represents the actual active and reactive power transmitted by the transmission line. This represents the desired line power flow. It is generally set to the value under normal operating conditions.

[0083] In addition, the following constraints need to be considered: power flow balance constraints, system-integrated generator operation constraints, safe operation constraints, and UPFC constraints.

[0084] The power flow balance constraints are divided into power flow balance constraints for bus nodes and power flow balance constraints for lines; for bus nodes without UPFC equipment... The power flow balance constraint can be expressed as:

[0085] (1.2)

[0086] In the formula , bus nodes The active and reactive power injected into the power grid. bus nodes Injected active and reactive power, , bus nodes Active load and reactive load; This refers to the set of boundary busbars connected to the transmission lines where UPFCs are installed;

[0087] If the bus node For the nodes at both ends of the transmission line where the UPFC device is installed, the power flow balance constraints are as follows:

[0088] (1.3)

[0089] In the formula These are the bus nodes at both ends of the transmission line where the UPFC equipment is installed. , Inject bus nodes into UPFC equipment Active power and reactive power;

[0090] The power flow balance constraint of the line is expressed as follows:

[0091] (1.4)

[0092] In the formula Transmission lines The transmitted active and reactive power, bus nodes The square of the voltage amplitude and the square of the voltage amplitude difference. These are the line conductance and susceptance, respectively. bus node The voltage angle difference.

[0093] The system has built-in generator operation constraints, the expressions of which are as follows:

[0094] (1.5)

[0095] In the formula This indicates the bus node of the primary generator in the system. bus nodes The active and reactive power injected into the network, bus node The upper and lower bounds of the active power injected into the network. bus node Upper and lower bounds of reactive power injected into the network.

[0096] The safe operation constraint is expressed as follows:

[0097] (1.6)

[0098] These are adjustable parameters, set according to network operating conditions. For example, according to national power industry standards, the following can be adopted: , These are the desired bus nodes. The square of the voltage value, For transmission lines The expected values ​​of active and reactive power transmitted are generally set to the values ​​under normal operating conditions.

[0099] UPFC constraints are expressed as follows:

[0100] (1.7)

[0101] in These represent the active and reactive power injected into the grid by the UPFC equipment, respectively. This refers to the upper and lower bounds of the active power injected into the power grid. The upper and lower bounds of reactive power injected into the grid are defined by the UPFC. The reactive and active power injected into the grid are finite.

[0102] Based on the above objective function and constraints, the optimization problem is transformed into an optimization problem model, the specific expression of which is as follows:

[0103] (1.8)

[0104] make The objective function of the above optimization problem is: Expandable to Its matrix form is:

[0105] (1.9)

[0106] here and To and All associated equality and inequality constraints, and Define all constraints associated with UPFC. This includes the entire set of decision and constraint variables. The optimization problem model can be transformed into a standard optimization problem model:

[0107] (1.10)

[0108] here For decision variables and The relevant constraints constitute a set. Then, the optimization problem model (1.10) is decomposed and solved.

[0109] For the partitioned power grid, without loss of generality, taking any sub-region as an example... For example, its optimization problem model can be written as:

[0110] (1.11)

[0111] like Figure 3 As shown, with Figure 3 Taking three sub-regions as an example, if a fault occurs in sub-region A, the central controller of sub-region A solves the sub-optimization problem of region A, then determines the power flow required for the boundary bus of sub-region A. It adjusts the power flow injected into the bus on the sub-region A side via the UPFC to eliminate the fault, and then shares the adjusted boundary information of sub-region A with neighboring region B. If the fault is completely eliminated, only the power flow injected into the boundary bus on the sub-region B side by the UPFC needs to be adjusted to eliminate the power flow change on the common transmission line. Sub-region B no longer needs to solve the optimization problem, and the fault is resolved. If the fault still exists, sub-region B solves the sub-optimization problem based on the boundary information shared by neighboring sub-region A, shares the result with neighboring sub-regions, and determines whether neighboring sub-regions need to solve the sub-optimization problem for that sub-region. The boundary information between sub-regions should be shared by the central controllers of both sub-regions and kept consistent. The optimization problem model for subregion A becomes:

[0112] (1.12)

[0113] This represents the decision variables shared by the neighboring regions and region A, and its corresponding Lagrangian function is:

[0114] (1.13)

[0115] In the formula Is and constraint Related scaling dual variables, , yes dual variables, Let be the penalty factor. Solving the optimization problem (1.12) using the Distributed Alternating Direction Multiplier Method (ADMM) yields the iterative dynamics:

[0116] (1.14)

[0117] After obtaining the optimization problem of subregion A and its iterative formula for solving the problem, a standard commercial solver is used to solve the problem. The iteration stops when any stopping criterion is met, and the solution result is obtained.

[0118] The stopping rules include:

[0119] Stopping Criterion 1: Boundary Residuals Once the accuracy requirements are met, the simulation stops.

[0120] Stopping Criterion 2: The number of simulation steps reaches the preset value. The simulation stopped.

[0121] Stopping Criterion 3: Objective Function Value The simulation stops when the value stabilizes; here, it is defined that the value is continuous. A state of no change is considered stable.

[0122] by Figure 2 The simulation of the 2-zone IEEE 24 bus node system shown is performed, with UPFC installed only on the common transmission line. Simulation parameter settings: the upper and lower bounds of the line power flow are set to normal values. This means The upper and lower bounds of the active and reactive power injected into the grid by UPFC are set as follows: pu and pu, penalty factor Boundary residuals and simulation step size The fault settings are shown in Table 1:

[0123] Table 1 Fault Settings

[0124]

[0125] Simulation results are as follows Figures 4-7 As shown, Figure 4 The objective function in this embodiment of the invention and boundary residuals The trajectory, where (a) the objective function The trajectory, (b) boundary residual The trajectory. According to Figure 4 It can be seen that after the fault occurs, as the iteration proceeds, the objective function... Gradual convergence demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed zoned UPFC control. Furthermore, the active and reactive power injected into the grid by UPFC are as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 This refers to the active power injected by the UPFC at the boundary bus of regions A and B in this embodiment of the invention, where (a) corresponds to region A and (b) corresponds to region B. Figure 6 This refers to the reactive power injected by the UPFC at the boundary bus of regions A and B in this embodiment of the invention, where (a) corresponds to region A and (b) corresponds to region B. Figure 7 The bus node voltage values ​​before and after the fault in this embodiment of the invention; according to Figure 7 It can be seen that the voltage of the power grid nodes remained within a safe range before and after the fault.

[0126] like Figure 8The diagram illustrates the physical structure of an electronic device, which may include a processor 610, a communication interface 620, a memory 630, and a communication bus 640. The processor 610, communication interface 620, and memory 630 communicate with each other via the communication bus 640. The processor 610 can call logical instructions in the memory 630 to execute the steps of the aforementioned grid protection method for partitioned cooperative control UPFC and adjustable generators. Specifically, this includes: establishing an objective function for the optimization problem based on the partitioned grid; establishing multiple constraints; transforming the optimization problem into an optimization problem model based on the objective function and the constraints; solving the optimization problem model for any sub-region A in the partitioned grid using the distributed alternating direction multiplier method and a standard commercial solver; setting multiple iteration stopping criteria, stopping the iteration when any criterion is met, and obtaining the solution result for sub-region A; and obtaining the required boundary bus length for sub-region A based on the solution result for sub-region A. To eliminate the fault, the UPFC adjusts the power flow injected into the bus on the side of sub-region A. The adjusted boundary information of sub-region A is shared with neighboring sub-region B, and it is determined whether the fault has been completely eliminated. If the fault has been completely eliminated, only the power flow injected into the boundary bus on the side of sub-region B by the UPFC needs to be adjusted to eliminate the power flow change on the common transmission line. Sub-region B no longer needs to solve the optimization problem, and the fault can be resolved. If the fault still exists, sub-region B solves its optimization problem based on the boundary information shared by neighboring sub-region A, shares the solution results of sub-region B with the other neighboring sub-regions, and continues to determine whether neighboring sub-regions need to solve their sub-optimization problems until the fault is completely eliminated.

[0127] Furthermore, the logical instructions in the aforementioned memory 630 can be implemented as software functional units and, when sold or used as independent products, can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, or the part that contributes to the prior art, or a part of the technical solution, can be embodied in the form of a software product. This computer software product is stored in a storage medium and includes several instructions to cause a computer device (which may be a personal computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute all or part of the steps of the methods described in the various embodiments of the present invention. The aforementioned storage medium includes various media capable of storing program code, such as USB flash drives, portable hard drives, read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic disks, or optical disks.

[0128] In another aspect, embodiments of the present invention also provide a storage medium storing a computer program. When executed by a processor, this computer program implements the steps of the aforementioned grid protection method for partitioned cooperative control (UPFC) and adjustable generators. Specifically, it includes: establishing an objective function for an optimization problem based on the partitioned grid; establishing multiple constraints; transforming the optimization problem into an optimization problem model based on the objective function and the constraints; solving the optimization problem model for any sub-region A in the partitioned grid using the distributed alternating direction multiplier method and a standard commercial solver; setting multiple iteration stopping criteria, stopping the iteration when any one criterion is met, and obtaining the solution result for sub-region A; and obtaining the solution result for sub-region A based on the solution result for sub-region A. The power flow required by the boundary bus of sub-region A is adjusted by UPFC to eliminate the fault in the bus injected into sub-region A. The adjusted boundary information of sub-region A is shared with neighboring sub-region B, and it is determined whether the fault has been completely eliminated. If the fault has been completely eliminated, it is only necessary to adjust the power flow injected into the boundary bus of sub-region B by UPFC to eliminate the power flow change on the common transmission line. Sub-region B no longer needs to solve the optimization problem, and the fault can be resolved. If the fault still exists, sub-region B solves its optimization problem based on the boundary information shared by neighboring sub-region A, shares the solution result of sub-region B with the other neighboring sub-regions, and continues to determine whether neighboring sub-regions need to solve their sub-optimization problems until the fault is completely eliminated.
