TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of new energy and electric power, and particularly relates to a method for configuring inductive and capacitive reactive power dispersion compensation of an offshore wind farm. BACKGROUND
[0002] During operation, offshore wind farms will be accompanied by a large amount of power loss, and the annual average power loss accounts for about 3% to 5% of the total power generation. The existence of these additional power losses seriously restricts the power generation efficiency and economic benefits of offshore wind farms.
[0003] The collection line and the transmission line of the offshore wind farm generally use AC submarine cables. During operation, the AC submarine cables not only generate a large amount of charging power, which leads to an increase in line loss and occupies line capacity, but also cause a serious threat to the safe operation of equipment due to the problem of power frequency overvoltage. Therefore, it is necessary to configure reactive power compensation for the offshore wind farm access system to meet the requirements of local reactive power balance, power frequency overvoltage control, and voltage control during operation.
[0004] At present, the traditional method is to arrange high-voltage reactors on land, on the offshore booster station, or on the offshore booster station and the land centralized control center to absorb the reactive power of the transmission submarine cable, reduce the network loss of the transmission line, and improve the utilization rate of the submarine cable capacity. For example, the patent "A method for configuring reactive power compensation of an offshore wind farm access system and a system thereof" balances the capacitive reactive power generated by the transmission submarine cable by arranging reactors on the high-voltage side of the offshore booster station. The patent "A method for configuring reactive power compensation of an offshore wind farm transmission system" determines the required compensation value of the offshore high-voltage reactor of the land centralized control center according to the output change of the wind farm and the voltage change at the grid connection point. However, these schemes cannot balance the capacitive reactive power of the field area, resulting in excessive line loss and power frequency overvoltage, which affects the safe use of equipment. In addition, the configuration of high-voltage reactors on the offshore booster station also increases the area of the offshore booster station. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems in the background art. The present application provides a method for configuring dispersion reactive power compensation of an offshore wind farm. The method takes into account the reactive power generated by the collection line and the transmission submarine cable of the field area, and arranges the required reactors of the offshore wind farm between the high-voltage side of each wind turbine box-type transformer and the high-voltage side of the land centralized control center. This method not only solves the problem of excessive line loss of the offshore wind farm field area and the transmission submarine cable, but also saves a set of high-voltage reactors for the offshore booster station, which is helpful for the compact arrangement of the offshore booster station and saves the area and investment cost of the offshore booster station.
[0006] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: A method for configuring inductive and capacitive reactive power dispersion compensation of an offshore wind farm, comprising the following steps:
[0007] The sending system inductive reactive power compensation demand of the offshore wind farm booster transformer transmission system to be compensated and the field area wind farm inductive reactive power compensation demand are calculated;
[0008] Half of the sending system inductive reactive power compensation demand is determined as the land centralized control center reactor configuration capacity in the offshore wind farm booster transformer transmission system;
[0009] The sum of half of the sending system inductive reactive power compensation demand and the field area wind farm inductive reactive power compensation demand is divided by the number of the wind turbine side box transformer reactors in the offshore wind farm booster transformer transmission system, so as to obtain the capacity of each wind turbine side box transformer reactor;
[0010] According to the determined land centralized control center reactor configuration capacity, the land centralized control center is configured with a reactor;
[0011] According to the determined wind turbine side box transformer reactor capacity, each wind turbine side box transformer is configured with a reactor.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the reactor configured for the wind turbine side box transformer is arranged on the wind turbine platform and connected to the corresponding wind turbine side box transformer high voltage side bus through an alternating current cable.
[0015] In the above technical solution, the offshore wind farm booster transformer transmission system to be compensated includes an offshore wind farm, an offshore booster station, a wind turbine side box transformer, a field area submarine cable, a sending submarine cable and a land centralized control center; the offshore wind farm is connected with the offshore booster station through a plurality of groups of wind turbine side box transformers; each group of wind turbine side box transformers includes a plurality of sub-box transformers connected in series through the field area submarine cable; the offshore booster station includes a plurality of main transformers; each main transformer is electrically connected with the land centralized control center through a corresponding sending submarine cable; and the land centralized control center is electrically connected with the power grid.

[0024] Wherein, each sub-box type transformer in each group of wind turbine side box type transformers is configured with an electric reactor; the electric reactor configuration capacity Q z is evenly divided by the electric reactors of the corresponding sub-box type transformers
[0025] The beneficial effects of the present application are: the present application disperses the electric reactors at the high-voltage side of the box-type transformer and the land centralized control center, although the investment cost of the electric reactors is increased, but through analysis and calculation, the present application can obviously reduce the system network loss, and the comprehensive economic benefits are still very obvious, specifically, taking a 400MW wind farm as an example, although the investment cost of the electric reactors of the present application is increased by 6 million, the loss of the generated power of the wind farm in 10 years of operation can compensate for this part of the cost. The present application can reduce the investment of the offshore booster station, save the cost of a set of high-voltage electric reactors and cabinets of the offshore booster station by about 1.5 million, reduce the platform area of the offshore booster station by 80 square meters, which can help the compact arrangement of the offshore booster station and save the investment cost of the booster station.

After calculation, the capacitive charging power of each outgoing sea cable is 49.02 MVar, the inductive loss is 4.305 MVar, and the inductive loss of 2 main transformers is 0.4536 MVar. The capacitive charging power of the field area sea cable is 9.25 MVar, the inductive loss of the field area sea cable is 3.54 MVar, and the inductive loss of the box transformer is 0.11 MVar.
