Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of grid connection testing of offshore wind turbines, and in particular to a dual hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system and method for offshore wind turbine grid connection. Background Technology
[0002] Offshore wind power is one of the main directions of global new energy development, but it faces challenges such as larger turbine sizes, diverse grid connection and transmission methods, and complex operating conditions and grid-related characteristics. To ensure reliable operation and grid-friendly connection of offshore wind power, it is urgent to build comprehensive offshore wind power grid connection testing and inspection capabilities. In offshore wind power field testing, the uncontrollable testing conditions due to natural environment and grid conditions lead to high costs, long cycles, and incomplete results. Countries such as the United States, Denmark, and Germany have established full-scale ground-based testing platforms to comprehensively study the operating characteristics of wind turbine units. my country is also promoting the construction of a national-level offshore wind power research and testing base and building a full-scale ground-based testing platform for wind turbine units.
[0003] The large-capacity offshore wind turbine full-scale ground test platform, centered on the tested offshore wind turbine, includes two major characteristic simulation devices: one on the generation side and one on the grid side. The multi-degree-of-freedom load simulation device on the generation side is used to simulate mechanical loads under wind-wave-current excitation, while the grid simulation device is used to simulate electrical characteristics under different AC / DC transmission methods. The load simulation process has a large mechanical response timescale, primarily affecting the safe operation at the individual turbine level. Grid simulation is crucial for evaluating the grid-connected performance of offshore wind turbines, involving system-level stability issues related to large-scale offshore wind power integration, and has a smaller timescale and faster response, making it of paramount importance.
[0004] As offshore wind turbine power continues to develop from megawatts to 10-megawatts and 20-megawatts, the increase in turbine capacity places increasingly stringent demands on the capacity and performance of grid simulation devices. This manifests in the requirement that grid simulation devices have a rated capacity of hundreds of megavolt-amperes (MVA) and simulate grid-machine interaction during faults / disturbances under complex grid connection conditions. However, existing full-scale ground-based testing methods for large-capacity offshore wind turbines are not yet mature. On the one hand, there is a lack of effective means to verify the performance of large-capacity grid simulation devices at the MVA level, and the grid simulation function still needs optimization and improvement. On the other hand, full-scale ground-based testing and evaluation involves extensive installation and commissioning of large-scale electromechanical equipment, which to some extent affects the safety, economy, and efficiency of the test. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to adapt to the trend of continuous increase in the capacity of single offshore wind turbines and wind farms, grasp the key performance of large offshore wind turbines connected to the grid, and provide a dual hardware-in-the-loop simulation test system and method for offshore wind turbine grid connection. This system serves to verify the key performance indicators of the construction of a full-scale ground test platform for large-capacity offshore wind turbines and to conduct pre-test evaluation of the operation of the full-scale ground test platform for large-capacity offshore wind turbines, so as to ensure the accurate, efficient, economical and safe conduct of the test.

[0058] The following are specific implementation examples of the present invention.
[0059] An embodiment of the present invention (a dual hardware-in-the-loop offshore wind turbine grid connection simulation test system) is attached. Figure 1 As shown, the system comprises three main subsystems: a real-time simulator, an offshore wind turbine controller, and a power grid simulation device controller. The real-time simulator, RTDS-Novacor, is used to construct primary models of the offshore wind turbine, the power grid simulation device, and a typical power grid topology. In the host computer simulation software RSCAD-FX2.1.1, the main step size simulation interface is set to 50µs, and the step size for the three secondary step size simulation modules is 2µs. Considering that each secondary step size simulation module supports a maximum of 60 nodes, two secondary step size simulation modules are used to build the primary model of the inverter module of the power grid simulation device, and one secondary step size simulation module is used to build the primary model of the rectifier module of the power grid simulation device.
[0060] The wind power tested in the simulation experiment is a 16MW direct-drive full-power converter type unit. The key controlled electrical quantities such as grid connection point voltage, grid connection current, and DC voltage of the primary circuit simulation model of the wind turbine are output to the wind power controller in real time through the GTAO board. After coordinate transformation and control algorithm processing, the controller generates reference modulation wave and drive signal, which are then output to the simulator in real time through the GTDI board to realize the drive control of the back-to-back converter switching bridge arm of the wind turbine.

The transmission of these numerous digital control signals between the RTDS real-time simulator and the power grid simulation device controller was achieved using the Aurora communication protocol at a rate of 2GB / s. Simultaneously, 34 key electrical quantities, including AC port voltage, DC voltage, and bridge arm voltage, were output in real-time to the power grid simulation device controller via the GTAO board, forming a closed-loop control circuit for the power grid simulation system.
[0062] The detailed topology of the power grid simulation device is attached. Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the aforementioned NPC three-level inverter module, ANPC three-level rectifier module, and chopper protection module, it also includes 2 three-phase transformers and 15 single-phase transformers. The three-phase transformers and ANPC three-level rectifier modules are connected in series to achieve a stable conversion from the three-phase power grid AC voltage of 35kV to the DC bus voltage of 5000V. The 10 ANPC three-level inverter modules are divided into 5 groups. Every 2 inverter modules output to the primary side of the 3 single-phase transformers using an H-bridge connection with 3 phases. The last 5 groups of inverter modules are cascaded on the secondary side of the single-phase transformers to boost the voltage, ensuring that the power grid simulation device has a rated voltage output capability of 35kV and a fault voltage dynamic simulation capability of 0-1.5pu.
