Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power quality compensation and distributed photovoltaic inverter control, and relates to a distributed unbalanced current compensation method, device and medium for a photovoltaic-participated distribution network. Background Art

[0002] With the massive increase of three-phase and single-phase equipment in the three-phase four-wire (3P-4W) low-voltage distribution network, especially when the load and distributed power sources are unevenly distributed, the unbalanced phase current has brought great challenges to the efficient and safe operation of the distribution network. The problems caused by unbalanced current include impaired power quality, voltage imbalance, overheating of distribution transformers, neutral line overload, additional line loss, reduced distribution network capacity utilization, and malfunction of protection relays.

[0003] Therefore, in order to improve the power supply quality and reliability, the low-voltage distribution network should be equipped with an unbalanced compensation function. Among them, the photovoltaic inverter, as a common distributed power source, can use the surplus capacity of photovoltaic power generation to achieve unbalanced compensation and other power quality management functions, thereby reducing the dependence on special power quality management equipment (such as STATCOM, APF, SVC).

[0004] In a three-phase four-wire system, if single-phase photovoltaics are used to compensate for unbalanced current, it is necessary to have photovoltaic inverters that are connected to both phases and ground in the distribution network. The three-phase inverter of the three-phase four-wire system provides an additional zero-sequence current path and is an ideal unbalanced current compensation device. Most existing technologies focus on compensating for unbalanced local loads. However, the equipment points that generate unbalanced currents in the distribution network are numerous and widespread. Compensating for local imbalances alone cannot alleviate the problems of transformer overheating, neutral line overload, and low capacity utilization. Therefore, the photovoltaic inverters in the distribution network need to be coordinated and participated in the governance. Summary of the invention

For the i Actual three-phase reactive power compensation instructions of photovoltaic inverters; is the phase difference between the current vector and the voltage vector, Corresponding to the three phases A, B, and C respectively, The phase of the local positive sequence voltage obtained by the phase-locked loop;

[0111] In order to balance the three-phase current flowing through the substation transformer, the unbalanced current can be compensated by a three-phase four-wire photovoltaic inverter. Compared with the traditional distributed control, the results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic inverter with unidirectional communication function receives compensation instructions from the distributed controller according to its own different residual capacity, and compensates for the unbalanced current of the substation transformer.

[0112] The flowchart of the distributed unbalanced current compensation method of the photovoltaic power distribution network of the present invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the distributed controller executes the process from START to RETURN TO START in one control cycle. First, the three-phase voltage and current at the outlet of the substation transformer are collected, and the active power of each phase flowing through the substation transformer is calculated. and reactive average power , and the fully compensated power command for each phase and ; Then according to the minimum voltage in the distribution network , calculate the maximum amplitude of active and reactive current instructions corresponding to the fully compensated power instruction and , and the corrected positive sequence current reference value of PV-1 ; Then, according to formula (4), the unbalanced compensation coefficient of the photovoltaic inverter numbered i is calculated For the remaining PV inverters (taking number j as an example), the unbalanced compensation coefficient of PV inverters with the same capacity factor but different rated current is proportional to the rated current; the unbalanced compensation coefficient of PV inverters with the same rated current but different capacity factor can be calculated by formula (4) and Figure 3 The calculation method shown is used to obtain the unbalanced compensation coefficient of each inverter.

[0113] Add up the unbalanced compensation coefficients of all PV inverters to get ,like Between 0 and 1, the total compensation coefficient kequal ,like , indicating that full compensation can be achieved, then the total compensation coefficient k is set to 1, and the unbalance compensation coefficient of each photovoltaic inverter is changed proportionally accordingly , the final actual compensation instruction and Designed to and take The compensation instruction is sent to the photovoltaic inverter through one-way communication according to the unbalanced compensation coefficient of each photovoltaic inverter, and is updated for the next control cycle iteration. and , is the compensation instruction of the previous control cycle and .

[0114] At the same time, in the photovoltaic inverter that performs the compensation task, the compensation current generation module receives the power command from the distributed controller through unidirectional communication and generates the corresponding three-phase compensation current command. .

[0115] Assume that in the tth control cycle, a communication failure occurs between the inverter with unbalanced compensation coefficient and the substation transformer, which means that although the compensation power command has been calculated on the distributed controller, the PV inverter cannot receive the corresponding command and execute it.

[0116] make Representation variables In the tth control strategy execution cycle, the value (other variables are the same) is assumed to be constant in the system environment and load for convenience. , As an example, the same applies to reactive power instructions. The entire process from fault occurrence to recovery is shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 shown.

[0117] When satisfied When the communication failure occurs, in the next control cycle, due to the lack of compensation coefficient PV inverter development involved, There will be The increase of , Change to the original , remains unchanged, then , and k The same value will be maintained until the communication fault is restored. After one control cycle of fault recovery, all variables will be restored to the value before the fault.

[0118] When satisfied When a communication failure occurs, if the remaining capacity of the inverter is sufficient to fully compensate for the imbalance, , will continue to increase and gradually converge to times the original value, otherwise when the hth control cycle satisfies But the h+1th control cycle satisfies The iteration stops when , and k The same value will be maintained until the communication failure is restored. One cycle after the failure is restored, all variables will be restored to the value before the failure.

[0119] Therefore, during the fault period, the inverter with normal communication can execute the compensation power command as usual, so that the unbalanced current can still be alleviated, which shows that the control strategy has the ability to reliably respond to communication failures, and the compensation command can converge to a steady state when the communication status changes.

The rated powers of the two photovoltaic inverters involved in unbalanced current compensation are 15kW and 18kW respectively, and the maximum allowable phase currents are 42A and 50.4A respectively. In order to adapt to the rapid changes in environmental conditions, the control cycle cannot be too short. In addition, since the current inner loop responds very quickly (several milliseconds), the communication delay is usually tens of milliseconds, so 0.2s is selected as the control cycle. The application example is tested through the RTLAB semi-physical simulation platform. The control strategy considers 4 events, which occur at the following time points:

[0136] At t = 0s, the proposed distributed compensation control is put into operation;

[0137] t=2-3s, the irradiance of photovoltaic gradually increases to a total of 100W / m 2 ;

[0138] t=4s, phase A increases load by 1.5kW;

[0139] At t=5s, the 1.5kW load is removed from phase A.

[0140] Figures 8 to 10 The simulation results of multiple operating conditions in the application example of the present invention are as follows: Figure 8 (a) is the total active power compensation instruction The change graph of Figure 8 (b) is the total active power compensation instruction ; Fig. 9 (a) is the three-phase current curve of PV-1. Fig. 9 (b) is the three-phase current curve of PV-2. Fig. 9 (c) is the output power curve of PV-1 and PV-2. Fig.10 is the change of negative sequence, zero sequence current amplitude and voltage at the transformer outlet of the substation. Figures 8 to 10 It can be seen that the initial unbalanced current of the substation transformer is the negative sequence current , zero sequence current After the proposed control strategy was put into operation at the 0th second, the unbalanced current flowing through the substation transformer was greatly reduced (negative sequence dropped to 6.01A, zero sequence dropped to 4.82A). With the increase of irradiance, the remaining capacity of photovoltaic for unbalanced compensation decreased, and the unbalanced current of the substation transformer gradually increased. After the A-phase load was connected / removed, the unbalanced current of the substation transformer increased / decreased respectively. During the whole process, the three-phase currents of the photovoltaic inverters participating in the unbalanced compensation were all lower than their respective maximum allowable phase currents, and the photovoltaic inverters maintained the maximum available power unchanged during the whole process. In addition, after the unbalanced current of the substation transformer was compensated, the unbalanced condition of the three-phase voltage was also improved.

[0141] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
