Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a current limiting control method for an energy storage inverter operating under voltage source mode, belonging to the field of control technology for energy storage voltage source inverters. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous advancement of energy transition and smart grid technology, the problems arising from the increasing penetration rate of new energy sources cannot be ignored. At the same time, new energy sources are characterized by randomness, volatility, and intermittency, which necessitates the support of energy storage technology.
[0003] In recent years, with the advancement of energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection requirements, the State Grid Corporation of China has begun to advocate the construction of a new power system based on new energy sources. This indicates that the proportion of distributed generation systems with new energy sources as the main power generation source will increase year by year. Therefore, the stable operation of inverters is crucial to the stable operation of the entire system.
[0004] When high-power loads are frequently switched on and off on the load side, significant fluctuations in line current can easily occur. These line current fluctuations directly affect the normal operating conditions of energy storage voltage source inverters. Energy storage inverters are typically considered voltage sources with internal resistance, and their output current and output power are affected by the load. When a sudden increase in high-power load occurs, the inverter needs to output a surge in current during the transient process. This transient inrush current can easily damage the switching devices in the inverter, affecting the normal operation of the inverter under steady-state conditions.
[0005] Without protective measures, once overload conditions are entered, the inverter will continue to output at maximum power and maximum current for a long time and will not be able to return to steady-state operation. Working in non-rated conditions for a long time can easily cause the inverter's switching devices to break down, resulting in the loss of inverter and rectification capabilities. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the issue of overcurrent phenomena caused by inverter overload in existing technologies, which can adversely affect the inverter, this invention proposes a current-limiting control technology for voltage-source operation of energy storage inverters. This technology limits the current command value under overload conditions, ensuring a margin for reactive power fluctuations during transient processes while still providing a certain voltage support capability. Simultaneously, it ensures the system outputs maximum current only during transients, and when it returns to steady state, it outputs rated current and rated power, operating stably under rated conditions and guaranteeing the inverter's lifespan.
[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0008] On one hand, the present invention provides a current limiting control method for an energy storage inverter operating under voltage source mode, comprising the following steps:
[0009] Obtain the rated voltage and rated current of the energy storage inverter, and set the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can withstand based on the rated current;
[0010] When the load increases during voltage source operation of the energy storage inverter, a current limiter is introduced into the current loop to limit the d-axis and q-axis current command values in the dq coordinate system. The limit value and the d-axis and q-axis current command value are set according to the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle.
[0011] A phase-locked loop (PLL) is introduced to collect the voltage of the distribution network bus. The q-axis voltage of the distribution network bus is tracked through dq transformation and PI controller. When the q-axis voltage of the distribution network bus is 0, the frequency and phase angle of the distribution network bus are calculated.
[0012] The actual output frequency and phase angle of the energy storage inverter are calculated based on the drooping active power-frequency relationship when the energy storage inverter is voltage sourced.
[0013] When the phase angle switching stage is engaged, if the actual output current of the energy storage inverter does not trigger the current limiter, the frequency and phase angle of the energy storage inverter output are kept at the actual output frequency and phase angle. When the actual output current of the energy storage inverter triggers the current limiter, the frequency and phase angle of the energy storage inverter output are switched to the frequency and phase angle of the distribution network bus when the q-axis voltage of the distribution network bus is 0.
[0014] When the current limiter is triggered, the system recalculates and determines whether the output frequency of the energy storage inverter has recovered to the set threshold. If it has, the frequency and phase angle of the inverter output are switched back to the actual output frequency and phase angle of the energy storage inverter.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle is set to 1.1 times the rated current.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the step of setting the limiting amplitude based on the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle, and the amplitude of the d-axis and q-axis current command values, specifically are as follows:
[0017] The limiting amplitude is set to be equal to the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle;
[0018] The amplitude of the d-axis current command value is set to I. refdmax =0.95*I M The q-axis current command amplitude is set to
[0019] The specific d-axis and q-axis current limiting settings are as follows:
[0020]
[0021] When I ref_qWhen the value is greater than 0, the q-axis current command amplitude is set as follows:
[0022]
[0023] When I ref_q When <0, the q-axis current command amplitude is set as follows:
[0024]
[0025] Among them, I M This is the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle. These are the d-axis and q-axis current command values for the inverter after current limiting; I ref_d I ref_q This is the current command value output by the actual voltage loop of the inverter.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, in the step of recalculating and determining whether the output frequency of the energy storage inverter has recovered to within the set threshold, the set threshold is specifically 50Hz ± 0.2Hz.
[0027] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a current limiting control system for an energy storage inverter operating under voltage source mode, comprising:
[0028] The initial parameter module is used to obtain the rated voltage and rated current of the energy storage inverter, and to set the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can withstand based on the rated current;
[0029] The current limiter module is used to introduce a current limiter into the current loop when the load increases during the voltage source operation of the energy storage inverter. The current limiter limits the d-axis and q-axis current command values in the dq coordinate system. The limit value and the d-axis and q-axis current command value are set according to the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle.
[0030] The distribution network bus frequency and phase angle calculation module is used to introduce a phase-locked loop (PLL) link to collect the distribution network bus voltage, track the distribution network bus q-axis voltage through dq transformation and PI controller, and calculate the distribution network bus frequency and phase angle when the distribution network bus q-axis voltage is 0.
[0031] The inverter actual output frequency and phase angle calculation module calculates the actual output frequency and phase angle of the energy storage inverter based on the droop active power-frequency relationship when the energy storage inverter is voltage sourced.
[0032] The phase angle switching module is activated in the phase angle switching stage. When the actual output current of the energy storage inverter does not trigger the current limiter, the frequency and phase angle of the energy storage inverter output are kept at the actual output frequency and phase angle. When the actual output current of the energy storage inverter triggers the current limiter, the frequency and phase angle of the energy storage inverter output are switched to the frequency and phase angle of the distribution network bus when the q-axis voltage of the distribution network bus is 0.
[0033] The phase angle recovery module is used to recalculate and determine whether the output frequency of the energy storage inverter has recovered to the set threshold after the current limiter is triggered. If it has recovered, the frequency and phase angle of the inverter output are switched back to the actual output frequency and phase angle of the energy storage inverter.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle is set to 1.1 times the rated current.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the current limiter module sets the limit value based on the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle, and the d-axis and q-axis current command values are specifically as follows:
[0036] The limiting amplitude is set to be equal to the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle;
[0037] The amplitude of the d-axis current command value is set to I. refdmax =0.95*I M The q-axis current command amplitude is set to
[0038] The specific d-axis and q-axis current limiting settings are as follows:
[0039]
[0040] When I ref_q When the value is greater than 0, the q-axis current command amplitude is set as follows:
[0041]
[0042] When I ref_q When <0, the q-axis current command amplitude is set as follows:
[0043]
[0044] Among them, I M This is the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle. These are the d-axis and q-axis current command values for the inverter after current limiting; I ref_d I ref_q This is the current command value output by the actual voltage loop of the inverter.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the set threshold in the phase angle recovery module is specifically 50Hz ± 0.2Hz.
[0046] In another aspect, the present invention also provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement a current limiting control method for voltage source operation of an energy storage inverter as described in any embodiment of the present invention.
[0047] In another aspect, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the current limiting control method for voltage source operation of an energy storage inverter as described in any embodiment of the present invention.
[0048] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0049] This invention limits the d-axis and q-axis components of the current command value under overload conditions, ensuring that the reactive current remains within a certain fluctuation range. This guarantees a margin for reactive power fluctuations during transient processes while still providing a certain voltage support capability, effectively improving the service life of the energy storage voltage source inverter and ensuring system stability under different load fluctuations. Simultaneously, by engaging the phase angle switching module, the phase angle of the inverter output is the same as the voltage phase angle at the distribution network bus during transient overcurrent. After entering steady state, the phase angle in the original droop-Pf relationship is used again. By employing this switching module, the system outputs maximum current only during transients. When it returns to steady state, i.e., the inverter output frequency is within the threshold range, the inverter outputs rated current and rated power, operating stably under rated conditions. This mitigates the transient overcurrent phenomenon, effectively improving the service life of the energy storage voltage source inverter and ensuring system stability under different load fluctuations.

[0071] Example 1:
[0072] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a current limiting control method for energy storage inverters operating under voltage source conditions, applicable to grid-connected energy storage. Figure 3 The diagram shows a block diagram of a grid-connected energy storage system. The distributed energy storage voltage source inverter system includes an energy storage battery, a DC / DC converter, an inverter, and a filter circuit. The energy storage battery is connected to the DC side of the inverter via the DC / DC converter, and the filter circuit is connected to the AC side of the inverter. The system is connected to the load through line impedance and then connected to the power grid through a public grid connection point via line impedance. This method specifically includes the following steps:
[0073] S100, Obtain the rated voltage and rated current of the energy storage inverter, denoted as I. n U n The maximum current I that the energy storage inverter can handle is set based on the rated current. M In this embodiment, IM Set to 1.1*In.
[0074] S200. When the load increases during the voltage source operation of the energy storage inverter, a current limiter is introduced into the current loop to limit the current command values of the d and q axes in the dq coordinate system. The limit value and the current command value of the d and q axes are set according to the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can bear.
[0075] In this embodiment, the limiting amplitude is set to the maximum current I that the energy storage inverter can handle. M equal;
[0076] The amplitude of the d-axis current command value is set to I. refdmax =0.95*I M The q-axis current command amplitude is set to
[0077] The specific d-axis and q-axis current limiting settings are as follows:
[0078]
[0079] When I ref_q When the value is greater than 0, the q-axis current command amplitude is set as follows:
[0080]
[0081] When I ref_q When <0, the q-axis current command amplitude is set as follows:
[0082]
[0083] Among them, I M This is the maximum current that the energy storage inverter can handle. These are the d-axis and q-axis current command values for the inverter after current limiting; I ref_d I ref_q This is the current command value output by the actual voltage loop of the inverter.
[0084] Based on step S200, when a current limiter is introduced alone for an extended period, it can cause voltage loop failure, leading to fluctuations in the inverter output voltage and consequently, significant fluctuations in the inverter's output active power, resulting in a continuous shift in the angular frequency. Therefore, when the load increases, current limiting is triggered simultaneously, and a control mode with a switching phase angle command is activated. When the current does not reach the limiting command, the phase angle of the inverter coordinate transformation is the phase angle calculated using the drooping Pf relationship. When the current triggers the limiting command, the phase angle of the inverter coordinate transformation is the phase angle obtained through phase-locked loop (PLL) with the distribution network bus voltage. Based on this, this embodiment also includes the following steps:
[0085] S300: A phase-locked loop (PLL) is introduced to acquire the distribution network bus voltage. The q-axis voltage of the distribution network bus is tracked via dq conversion and a PI controller.

[0091]
[0092] To verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the current-limiting control method for voltage-source operation of the energy storage inverter proposed in this embodiment, simulation verification was performed on the PLECS simulation platform. The simulation background was set as a single-unit grid-connected energy storage inverter based on droop control, wherein the rated active power Pn of the energy storage inverter was set to 30kW, the rated reactive power Qn to 1kvar, the rated current In to 45A, and the rated voltage Un to 220V. To protect the switching devices in the inverter, the maximum current that the inverter can withstand was set to IM = 1.1 * In = 50A.
[0093] Operating Condition 1: Without any restrictions, observe the inverter output during load fluctuations and compare it with the current limiting control method introduced later in this embodiment. The system initially bears a load Z. load1 The load is a constant resistance load, primarily consisting of a resistor and an inductor, with a resistance of 10Ω and an inductance of 2μH. A sudden load Z is applied at 0.5s. load2 The resistor has a resistance of 5Ω and the inductor has a resistance of 4μH. A sudden load Z is applied at 1.2s. load3 The resistor has a resistance of 2Ω and the inductor has a resistance of 4μH. The system assumes an initial load Z. load1 Under these circumstances, observe the inverter's output voltage and current to determine its operating condition. When the load Z is added for the first time... load2 During this time, observe the inverter's output voltage and current, especially the transient current fluctuations, to see if they exceed the inverter's maximum current capacity (IM). When the load Z is added a second time... load3 At that time, observe the output voltage and current of the inverter, focusing on the transient current fluctuations, and compare and analyze them with the subsequent operating condition two.
[0094] Operating Condition 2: A single current limiter is used for current limiting control. The inverter output is observed during load fluctuations and compared with the condition without current limiting. The initial system load is Z. load1 The load is a constant resistance load, primarily consisting of a resistor and an inductor, with a resistance of 10Ω and an inductance of 2μH. A sudden load Z is applied at 0.5s. load2 The resistor has a resistance of 5Ω and the inductor has a resistance of 4μH. A sudden load Z is applied at 1.2s. load3 The resistor has a resistance of 2Ω and the inductor has a resistance of 4μH. The system assumes an initial load Z. load1 Under these circumstances, observe the inverter's output voltage and current to determine its operating condition. When the load Z is added for the first time... load2 During this period, observe the inverter output voltage and current, and assess the impact of only introducing a current limiter on the transient current of the inverter output. Compare this observation with that of operating condition one, and analyze whether the fluctuation of the transient current has been mitigated. When the load Z is added for the second time...load3 At the same time, observe the output voltage and current of the inverter, and pay attention to the impact on the transient current of the inverter output. Also, observe the angular frequency waveform of the inverter output at this time and compare it with that of operating condition one to analyze and compare the fluctuation of the transient current.
[0095] Operating Condition 3: Introducing current-limiting control technology for the energy storage voltage source inverter, observing the inverter's output under load fluctuations, and comparing it with the condition without current limiting and with only a current limiter. The initial system load is Z. load1 The load is a constant resistance load, primarily consisting of a resistor and an inductor, with a resistance of 10Ω and an inductance of 2μH. A sudden load Z is applied at 0.5s. load2 The resistor has a resistance of 5Ω and the inductor has a resistance of 4μH. A sudden load Z is applied at 1.2s. load3 The resistor has a resistance of 2Ω and the inductor has a resistance of 4μH. When the load Z is first added... load2 During this period, observe the inverter output voltage and current, and assess the impact of the current-limiting control technology (introduced as a voltage source for the energy storage inverter) on the transient current output of the inverter. Compare this data with operating conditions one and two, and analyze whether the fluctuations in transient current have been mitigated. When the load Z is added for the second time... load3 At the same time, observe the inverter output voltage and current, and pay attention to the impact on the transient current output of the inverter. Also observe the inverter output phase angle waveform at this time and compare it with operating conditions one and two to analyze and compare the fluctuation of transient current.
[0096] The simulation results in Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7 correspond to the comparison of three operating conditions, proving the accuracy and reliability of the current limiting control technology for voltage source operation of the energy storage inverter.
[0097] Figure 4 shows the simulation results of the system without current limiting measures and with a single current limiter for load fluctuations, i.e., the first load is applied at 0.5s, for comparison and analysis.
[0098] in Figure 4a This is a comparison chart of single-phase output current. Figure 4b This is a comparison chart of the three-phase output current. Figure 4cThe figures show the voltage and current waveforms at the distribution network bus. When only a current limiter is used for limiting the load, the first load active power fluctuation ranges from 14kW to 32kW. For this simulated inverter, this just exceeds the inverter's rated power of 30kW. Therefore, the current limiting effect is normal, and the output current does not fluctuate significantly. However, the distribution network bus voltage fluctuates noticeably, exhibiting a long buffer time. Comparing this figure with Figure 5 shows the simulation results for the second load fluctuation—without current limiting measures and with only a current limiter—comparing the results when the load is applied for the second time at 1.2s.
[0099] in Figure 5a This is a comparison chart of single-phase output current. Figure 5b This is a comparison chart of the three-phase output current. Figure 5c The voltage and current waveforms at the distribution network bus are shown. At this point, the second load active power fluctuation is between 32kW and 41kW. For this simulated inverter setup, this load fluctuation significantly exceeds the inverter's rated power of 30kW. Therefore, when using a separate current limiter, according to... Figure 5c As can be seen, prolonged use of a single current limiter leads to significant voltage fluctuations on the distribution network bus, noticeable voltage loop detachment, and a continuous shift in the output angular frequency, resulting in instability. Therefore, the advantages of the method of this invention can be verified by comparing Figures 6 and 7.
[0100] Figure 6 shows the simulation results of the system without current limiting measures and the current limiting control technology of the energy storage voltage source inverter under load fluctuations, i.e., the first load is applied at 0.5s, for comparison and analysis. Figure 6a This is a comparison chart of single-phase output current. Figure 6b This is a comparison chart of the three-phase output current. Figure 6c The waveforms represent the voltage and current at the distribution network bus. When the control method of this invention is introduced, its suppression and fluctuation effects are similar to those of introducing a current limiter alone during the initial small-range load fluctuation. At this time, the current limiting effect is normal, the output current does not fluctuate significantly, the voltage fluctuation of the distribution network bus is small, and the buffer time is shorter than that of introducing a current limiter alone.
[0101] Figure 7 shows the simulation results of the system without current limiting measures and the current limiting control technology of the energy storage voltage source inverter under load fluctuations, specifically the comparison and analysis of the second load application at 1.2s. Figure 7a This is a comparison chart of single-phase output current. Figure 7b This is a comparison chart of the three-phase output current. Figure 7cThe voltage and current waveforms at the distribution network bus are shown. By observing the detailed comparison between Figure 5 and Figure 7, the advantages of adopting the current limiting control technology of this invention can be further seen. At this time, the second load fluctuates over a wide range, and its suppression effect is better than that of introducing a current limiter alone. There is no instability phenomenon, and the voltage fluctuation of the distribution network bus is not obvious. The buffer time is short and the limiting effect is obvious.
[0102] The above simulation verification proves the correctness and reliability of the present invention.
[0103] In summary, under the control strategy described in this invention, the d-axis and q-axis components of the current command value are limited according to the overload condition, ensuring that the reactive current is maintained within a certain fluctuation range. This ensures the reactive power fluctuation margin during transient processes, while still providing a certain voltage support capability. This effectively improves the service life of the energy storage voltage source inverter and ensures the stability of the system under different load fluctuations.
[0104] Meanwhile, by engaging the phase angle switching module, the phase angle of the inverter output is the same as the voltage phase angle at the distribution network bus during transient overcurrent. After entering steady state, the phase angle in the original droop Pf relationship is used again. By using this switching module, the system outputs the maximum current only during transients. When it returns to steady state, i.e., the inverter output frequency is within the threshold range, the inverter outputs rated current and rated power, and operates stably under rated conditions. This improves the transient overcurrent phenomenon, effectively increases the service life of the energy storage voltage source inverter, and ensures the stability of the system under different load fluctuations.
