Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage system technology, and in particular to a VSG control method and related device for an energy storage system. Background Technology

[0002] Synchronous generators provide a large amount of mechanical inertia to the power grid, enabling them to naturally synchronize with the grid and participate in the regulation of grid voltage and frequency. When a power system fault occurs, the mechanical inertia of the synchronous generator can provide sufficient spinning reserve capacity to compensate for the power loss in the system. As the proportion of photovoltaic energy storage systems connected to the grid continues to increase, the proportion of synchronous generators in the power system is decreasing accordingly.

[0003] To compensate for the insufficient voltage and frequency regulation capabilities brought about by the grid integration of photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage, existing technologies typically employ Virtual Synchronous Generators (VSGs) to embed the rotor motion equations and reactive power droop control algorithms of synchronous generators into the inverter control system. When the grid experiences faults or disturbances, the distributed generation of the inverter control system is adjusted to achieve operating characteristics similar to a synchronous generator. Although PV-energy storage VSGs can add virtual inertia to the grid, their response speed is slow, resulting in poor improvement in power system stability. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the terminal provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0023] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the invention with unnecessary detail.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, specific embodiments will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates an application scenario of the VSG control method for an energy storage system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1As shown, the energy storage system includes target energy storage modules BAT, flywheel energy storage modules M (M1, M2, ..., MN), energy storage converters PCS (PCS1, PCS2, ..., PCSn), and rectifiers AC / DC. Each target energy storage module BAT is connected to the grid bus through its corresponding energy storage converter PCS. Each flywheel energy storage module is connected to the AC terminal of its corresponding rectifier. The DC terminal of each rectifier is connected to the input terminal of its corresponding energy storage converter. The output terminal of each energy storage converter is connected to the grid bus. The output terminal of each flywheel energy storage module is also used to connect to the grid bus.

[0026] Specifically, the target energy storage module can be any energy storage module other than a flywheel energy storage module, and may include photovoltaic energy storage modules, wind power energy storage modules, or energy storage batteries. When the target energy storage module is a photovoltaic energy storage module, it includes a photovoltaic plate, a DC-DC converter module, and a battery module. The photovoltaic plate is connected to one end of the DC-DC converter module, and the other end of the DC-DC converter module is connected to both the output terminal of the target energy storage module and the battery module. The method provided in this application will be described in detail below using a photovoltaic energy storage module as an example.

[0027] See Figure 2 The flowchart illustrating the implementation of the VSG control method for an energy storage system provided in this embodiment of the invention is shown below:

[0028] S101: The energy storage converter is controlled using the VSG control method so that the energy storage converter provides virtual rotor inertia to maintain the stability of the grid frequency.

[0029] In this embodiment, the execution entity is the control host of the energy storage system. The control host is communicatively connected to the controller of the target energy storage module, the controller of the rectifier, and the controller of the energy storage converter. It is used to issue power control commands to the controller of the rectifier and the controller of the target energy storage module, and to issue VSG control commands to the controller of the energy storage converter. The flywheel energy storage module and the target energy storage module each provide power to the energy storage converter so that the energy storage converter outputs the corresponding virtual rotor inertia to maintain the stability of the grid frequency.

[0030] In this embodiment, virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology simulates the electromechanical transient characteristics of synchronous generator sets, enabling power supplies or loads using converters to possess the inertia, damping, frequency, and voltage regulation characteristics of synchronous generator sets. Since common energy storage systems, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy storage systems, are typically non-rotating systems, their corresponding virtual synchronous generators respond slowly to changes in grid frequency. Therefore, they cannot promptly regulate the grid frequency when grid fluctuations are significant. In this embodiment, during the primary frequency regulation control stage, a flywheel energy storage module is connected to the grid. This avoids further grid fluctuations and compensates for the slow response speed of the non-rotating PV energy storage VSG through the virtual inertia provided by the flywheel energy storage. Thus, when grid frequency fluctuations are significant, both flywheel and PV energy storage jointly provide virtual inertia to the grid, enabling the grid frequency to stabilize quickly.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the virtual rotor inertia includes a first virtual rotor inertia and a second virtual rotor inertia; the specific implementation process of S101 includes:

[0032] The virtual rotor inertia is adaptively determined based on the power grid frequency;

[0033] The virtual rotor inertia is divided into a fixed first virtual rotor inertia and a second virtual rotor inertia that adaptively varies with the power grid frequency;

[0034] The given output power of the target energy storage module is controlled based on the first virtual rotor inertia.

[0035] The given output power of the rectifier is controlled based on the second virtual rotor inertia.

[0036] The virtual rotor inertia is used to perform VSG control on the energy storage converter.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the specific process for determining the virtual rotor inertia includes:

[0038] Based on formula

[0039]

[0040] Calculate the virtual rotor inertia;

[0041] In equation (1), J represents the virtual rotor inertia, J0 represents the steady-state value of the virtual rotor inertia; ω represents the virtual rotor angular velocity of the energy storage converter. g Represents the angular velocity of the power grid, and ω g =2πf g , where f g The frequency of the power grid is represented by k, which is a constant, and C represents the threshold value of the rate of change of the virtual rotor angular velocity.

[0042] Wherein, J0 represents the steady-state value of the virtual rotor inertia, which can be determined based on the natural vibration angular velocity of the synchronous generator.

[0043] Specifically, the magnitude of the virtual rotor inertia is determined by the difference between the virtual angular velocity of the VSG and the grid angular velocity, as well as the magnitude of the virtual angular rate. When the virtual angular velocity of the VSG is greater than the grid angular velocity and the virtual angular rate of the VSG is greater than zero, the virtual rotor inertia increases. When the virtual angular velocity of the VSG is greater than the grid angular velocity and the virtual angular rate of the VSG is less than zero, the virtual rotor inertia decreases. Conversely, when the virtual angular velocity of the VSG is less than the grid angular velocity and the virtual angular rate of the VSG is less than zero, the virtual rotor inertia increases. When the virtual angular velocity of the VSG is less than the grid angular velocity and the virtual angular rate of the VSG is greater than zero, the virtual rotor inertia decreases. Based on the above principles, this application adaptively determines the required virtual rotor inertia output by the energy storage converter VSG based on grid frequency, thereby improving the frequency response speed of the energy storage system.

[0044] In this embodiment, the energy storage converter performs VSG control according to a fixed control cycle. The virtual rotor inertia J of the energy storage converter VSG in the current control cycle in the above formula (1) is calculated by the current grid frequency and the virtual rotor angular velocity of the VSG in the previous control cycle. After determining the virtual rotor inertia J of the current control cycle, the virtual rotor inertia is divided into two parts (first virtual rotor inertia and second virtual rotor inertia). One part is provided by the output power of the flywheel energy storage module, and the other part is provided by the output power of the target energy storage module. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the given output power of the target energy storage module based on the first virtual rotor inertia and the given output power of the flywheel energy storage module based on the second virtual rotor inertia.

[0045] In one possible implementation Figure 3 The control flowchart of the energy storage converter is shown, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the specific implementation process of using the virtual rotor inertia to perform VSG control on the energy storage converter includes:

[0046] S201: Convert the actual input voltage value U of the energy storage converter o Input reactive power-voltage regulation loop, output given VSG voltage amplitude e of energy storage converter. a ,e b ,e c ;

[0047] S202: Input the active power P of the energy storage converter into the active-frequency regulation loop, and output the phase of VSG. The virtual rotor inertia is a parameter value in the active-frequency regulation loop;

[0048] S203: Based on the given VSG voltage amplitude e of the energy storage converter a ,e b ,e c Phase with VSG The three-phase setpoint voltages of the energy storage converter VSG are obtained.

[0049] Specifically, the implementation process of S201 includes:

[0050] Obtain the actual input voltage U of the energy storage converter o ;

[0051] Input voltage rating U ref Subtract the actual input voltage U o The input voltage error is obtained;

[0052] Given reactive power Q ref Subtracting the output reactive power Q of the energy storage converter after the amplitude limit is used to obtain the reactive power error;

[0053] Input voltage error and voltage regulation coefficient k v Multiply by the first control variable to obtain the reactive power error and the reactive power adjustment coefficient k. q Multiply them to obtain the second control variable;

[0054] The first control value, the second control value, and the no-load electromotive force E0 of the energy storage converter VSG are added together to obtain the given voltage amplitude e of the energy storage converter VSG. a ,e b ,e c ;

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the specific implementation process of S202 includes:

[0056] Given active power P ref Subtract the input active power P of the energy storage converter to obtain the active power difference;

[0057] Based on formula Calculate the virtual rotor angular velocity ω of the VSG; integrate the virtual rotor angular velocity ω of the VSG to obtain the phase of the VSG.

[0058] Where ω0 represents the grid synchronization angular velocity, D represents the damping coefficient corresponding to the damping torque, and T d This is the damping torque derived from mechanical friction, stator losses, excitation, and damping windings.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S203 includes:

[0060] Based on formula

[0061]

[0062] Calculate the three-phase setpoint voltage of the energy storage converter VSG;

[0063] In equation (2), e a Represents the given voltage of phase a, e b This represents the given voltage of phase b, e c E represents the given voltage of phase c. p This represents the amplitude of the phase voltage, where E represents the given amplitude of the VSG voltage of the energy storage converter. ω represents the phase of the VSG, and ω represents the angular velocity of the virtual rotor.

[0064] In one possible implementation Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating the generation process of the SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) signal for controlling the energy storage converter is shown. Figure 4 As shown, after obtaining the three-phase setpoint voltage of the energy storage converter, the three-phase setpoint voltage is input... Figure 4 The control loop shown generates an SPWM signal. Figure 4 in,i ref Indicates the rated grid-connected current, i a i b and i c These represent the three-phase output currents; i e This indicates the output current deviation; PR stands for proportional resonant regulator, L represents inductance, R represents local resistance, and u... m This indicates the voltage amplitude of the modulated signal.

[0065] In this embodiment, after obtaining the sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal, the sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal is used to control each switch of the energy storage converter so that the energy storage converter outputs the corresponding virtual rotor inertia.

[0066] As can be seen from the above process, the magnitude of the virtual rotor angular velocity depends on the input power of the energy storage converter. The input power of the energy storage converter is determined by the sum of the output power of the target energy storage module and the output power of the corresponding rectifier of the flywheel energy storage module. Therefore, the virtual rotor angular velocity of the VSG can be adjusted by setting the given output power of the rectifier and the given output power of the target energy storage module, thereby adjusting the virtual rotor inertia output by the VSG.

[0067] As can be seen from the above embodiments, when the power grid system is relatively stable, this embodiment uses the original photovoltaic energy storage module corresponding to the VSG to stabilize the power grid frequency. When the power grid frequency fluctuates greatly, based on the advantages of the fast response speed of the adaptive virtual rotor inertia method and the inherent fast response speed of the flywheel energy storage system as a rotating system, flywheel energy storage is used to provide virtual rotor inertia to fine-tune the power grid frequency on the basis of photovoltaic energy storage VSG. This not only makes full use of the fast response speed advantage of the flywheel energy storage VSG as a rotating system, but also eliminates the need to configure a large-capacity flywheel energy storage module.

[0068] In one possible implementation, the virtual rotor inertia includes a first virtual rotor inertia and a second virtual rotor inertia; the specific implementation process of S101 includes:

[0069] The virtual rotor inertia is adaptively determined based on the power grid frequency;

[0070] The virtual rotor inertia is divided into a first virtual rotor inertia that adapts to the power grid frequency and a fixed second virtual rotor inertia;

[0071] The given output power of the target energy storage module is controlled based on the first virtual rotor inertia.

[0072] The given output power of the rectifier is controlled based on the second virtual rotor inertia.

[0073] The virtual rotor inertia is used to perform VSG control on the energy storage converter.

[0074] This embodiment can preferentially allocate a fixed output power to the rectifier corresponding to the flywheel energy storage module, and enable the target energy storage module to provide an output power that adapts to changes in grid frequency, thereby improving the response speed of the energy storage converter VSG and further improving grid frequency stability.

[0075] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S101 includes:

[0076] Virtual rotor inertia is obtained adaptively based on power grid frequency;

[0077] If the virtual rotor inertia is less than or equal to the first maximum rotor inertia, then the virtual rotor inertia is used to control the given output power of the target energy storage module, and the given output power of the rectifier module is controlled to be zero.

[0078] If the virtual rotor inertia is greater than the first maximum rotor inertia, then the first maximum rotor inertia is used to control the given output power of the target energy storage module, and the second virtual rotor inertia is used to control the given output power of the rectifier module; the second virtual rotor inertia is the difference between the virtual rotor inertia and the first maximum rotor inertia.

[0079] The virtual rotor inertia is used to perform VSG control on the energy storage converter.

[0080] Specifically, in this embodiment, the target energy storage module can be used first to provide power to the energy storage converter VSG. Only when the output power of the target energy storage module is insufficient to support the virtual rotor inertia requirement of the energy storage converter VSG will the flywheel energy storage module be activated to provide power to the energy storage converter. The magnitude of the virtual rotor angular velocity is positively correlated with the input power of the energy storage converter. Therefore, when only the target energy storage module is used to supply power to the energy storage converter, the first maximum rotor inertia value is the virtual rotor inertia output by the energy storage converter when the target energy storage module has its maximum overload capacity.

[0081] In this embodiment, if the control host detects that the virtual rotor inertia is equal to the maximum value of the first rotor inertia for a continuous first preset time period, or if the number of sampling moments in which the virtual rotor inertia is equal to the maximum value of the first rotor inertia for a continuous second preset time period accounts for a preset percentage of the total number of sampling moments in the second preset time period, then it determines that the output power of the target energy storage module cannot enable the energy storage converter to output sufficient virtual inertia to support the grid frequency. Then, it controls the rectifier to output power to the energy storage converter to ensure that the energy storage converter VSG outputs sufficient virtual rotor inertia.

[0082] The preset percentage can be 60% to 80%.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S101 includes:

[0084] Virtual rotor inertia is obtained adaptively based on power grid frequency;

[0085] If the virtual rotor inertia is less than or equal to the maximum value of the second rotor inertia, then the virtual rotor inertia is used to control the given output power of the rectifier module and control the given output power of the target energy storage module to be zero.

[0086] If the virtual rotor inertia is greater than the second maximum rotor inertia, then the first maximum rotor inertia is used to control the given output power of the rectifier module, and the second virtual rotor inertia is used to control the given output power of the target energy storage module; the second virtual rotor inertia is the difference between the virtual rotor inertia requirement value and the first maximum rotor inertia value.

[0087] The virtual rotor inertia is used to perform VSG control on the energy storage converter.

[0088] Specifically, in this embodiment, the flywheel energy storage module can be used first to provide power to the energy storage converter VSG. When the output power of the flywheel energy storage module is insufficient to support the virtual rotor inertia requirement of the energy storage converter VSG, the target energy storage module is then activated to provide power to the energy storage converter. The magnitude of the virtual rotor angular velocity is positively correlated with the input power of the energy storage converter. Therefore, when only the flywheel energy storage module is used to supply power to the energy storage converter, the maximum value of the second rotor inertia is the virtual rotor inertia output by the energy storage converter when the flywheel energy storage module has its maximum overload capacity.

[0089] In this embodiment, if the control host detects that the virtual rotor inertia is equal to the maximum value of the second rotor inertia for a continuous first preset duration, or if the number of sampling moments in which the virtual rotor inertia is equal to the maximum value of the second rotor inertia for a continuous first preset duration accounts for a preset percentage of the total number of sampling moments in the entire second preset duration, then it determines that the output power of the flywheel energy storage module is insufficient to enable the energy storage converter to output sufficient virtual inertia to support the grid frequency. Then, it controls the target energy storage module to output power to the energy storage converter to ensure that the energy storage converter VSG outputs sufficient virtual rotor inertia.

[0090] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0103] Where J represents the virtual rotor inertia, J0 represents the steady-state value of the virtual rotor inertia; ω represents the virtual rotor angular velocity of the energy storage converter, ω g Represents the angular velocity of the power grid, and ω g =2πf g , where f g The frequency of the power grid is represented by k, which is a constant, and C represents the threshold value of the rate of change of the virtual rotor angular velocity.

[0119] The virtual rotor inertia is used to perform VSG control on the energy storage converter.

[0120] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the above device takes into account the characteristics of the flywheel energy storage module as a rotating system, which has a fast response speed. The flywheel energy storage module compensates for the disadvantage of the slow response speed of the target energy storage module in a non-rotating system, thereby jointly providing power to the energy storage converter, so that the energy storage converter can provide a virtual rotor inertia that adapts to changes in grid frequency, thereby improving the stability of grid frequency.
