Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrical automation equipment technology, and in particular to a technology and system for improving the transient overcurrent capability of a grid-forming high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system, and in particular to a transient current limiting utilization control strategy for a grid-forming high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system and a transient current improving method for a high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system. Background Art

[0002] The grid-connected high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system is benchmarked against the grid-connected technical parameters of synchronous generators, with autonomous inertia response and primary frequency regulation capabilities, and can provide transient current support in the event of a grid failure; it has the ability to conduct stable grid-connected operations with load and islanding; it can independently establish voltage, has a black start function, can start from zero with the main transformer and line, and supply power to the outside; it is reflected in the voltage source characteristics, which can reach or approach the electrical characteristics of a synchronous generator.

[0003] Articles 3.6 and 3.7 of GB26860-2011 Electric Power Safety Work Regulations (Electrical Parts of Power Plants and Substations) define high and low voltage. Low voltage: voltage levels of 1000V and below in AC systems used for power distribution; high voltage: (1) usually refers to voltage levels exceeding low voltage. (2) Under specific circumstances, it refers to the voltage level for power transmission in the power system. It can be seen that the dividing line between high and low voltage electrical appliances is 1000 volts AC voltage. AC voltages above 1000 volts are called high voltage, while those below 1000 volts are called low voltage. In some cases, 35 kilovolts and below are called medium voltage.

[0004] The black start function refers to the process of starting the power system or microgrid without the help of the external network after the power system or microgrid stops operating due to a fault. The power supply or micro source with self-starting capability in the system is started, and the power supply or micro source without self-starting capability is gradually driven, and finally the recovery process of the entire system or microgrid is realized. The realization of black start depends on the power supply or micro source with self-starting capability in the system. These power supplies or micro sources can be started first when the system is completely black, providing initial power support for system recovery.

[0005] In the field of automation control, wire transmission signals can realize the transmission of control signals. Control signals can be transmitted in wires and controlled through corresponding interfaces, thereby realizing the control of equipment, robots, etc. The principle of wire transmission signals is to use the propagation properties of electrical signals in conductors. Electrical signals can be transmitted in conductors, and can also be converted through specific interfaces when transmitted between different conductors.

[0006] The high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system has the ability to operate in four quadrants for active power and reactive power, while the traditional synchronous machine has only two-quadrant operation capabilities. Compared with the traditional synchronous machine, the performance advantages of the four-quadrant grid-type high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system are mainly manifested in: ① It can absorb and emit active power at full capacity. Traditional synchronous machines cannot absorb active power, and the power direction is single; in addition, when participating in a frequency regulation, the active residual capacity of the traditional synchronous machine is adjusted according to the speed regulator's adjustment rate, and cannot be fully adjusted when the frequency drops slightly, while the grid-type high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system does not have this problem and can be fully adjusted; ② It can emit and absorb reactive power at equal capacity. When the traditional synchronous machine absorbs reactive power, it is called phase-leading operation, and its amount is limited by the phase-leading depth, generally about 20% of the total capacity, while the grid-type high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system has no such restrictions; ③ The throughput response speed of active and reactive power is faster than that of traditional synchronous machines. Whether it is the active throughput response speed or the reactive throughput response speed, it is generally within the s level, which is one order of magnitude faster than the traditional synchronous machine.

[0007] Restricted by the thermal stress of power devices, the grid-connected high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system has limited transient current tolerance and cannot further support the transient voltage of the power grid. It is necessary to study the electro-thermal transient modeling method of the power devices of the high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage converter and the mechanism analysis of the limited transient current capacity of the converter output. From the perspective of improved PWM modulation of the converter and optimized control of the junction temperature of the power device, the theoretical proposition of "how should the grid-connected converter be controlled to tolerate larger transient currents" is answered. Under different transient current amplitudes and phase conditions, it is necessary to analyze and compare the temperature rise characteristics of power devices under different modulation modes, with the goal of significantly reducing the switching loss and conduction loss of power devices and significantly reducing the harmonic content of the grid-connected current at low switching frequencies. The minimum loss PWM modulation strategy of the high-voltage direct-mounted electrochemical static synchronous machine, the adaptive adjustment method of the switching frequency under transient faults, and the optimization control method of the grid-connected current harmonics at low switching frequencies are studied. The active thermal control modulation strategy and control method of the grid-connected high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage converter with transient current output capability are proposed and formed.

[0008] In the prior art, the following converter methods have been proposed:

[0009] The invention patent with the publication number CN117639463A provides a DPWM modulation method for improving the short-circuit current capability of the ANPC topology. The DPWM modulation method for improving the short-circuit current capability of the ANPC topology is disclosed. In view of the problem that the junction temperature distribution of the device is unbalanced when the converter provides short-circuit current to the power grid when the converter has a voltage drop fault in the power grid, the junction temperature distribution of the device under three types of commutation modes when the converter provides short-circuit current is calculated, and the commutation mode with the lowest junction temperature of the "hottest" device is selected as the basic commutation mode. This method improves the short-circuit current capability of the ANPC topology under the voltage drop of the power grid by balancing the junction temperature of the device, and does not further improve the transient current output capability of the converter from the perspective of maximizing the utilization of the junction temperature.

[0010] The invention patent with publication number CN115149573A discloses a system and method for improving the short-circuit current tolerance of a self-synchronous voltage source wind turbine, including: a machine-side converter control module, a grid-side converter control module, a short-circuit current improvement control module, and a fault logic and unloading circuit control module. The invention realizes the real-time calculation and comparison of the junction temperature and loss of the power device of the self-synchronous voltage source wind turbine, and changes the switching frequency in real time according to the temperature and loss information, and selects the modulation strategy with the minimum loss to reduce the heating of the power device under large short-circuit current. However, this patent is only applicable to wind power converters, and the topological structure of wind power converters is simple and is not suitable for high-voltage direct-hanging topology. The modular characteristics of high-voltage direct-hanging battery energy storage systems make the transient current tolerance of the system determined by the weakest module of the converter, and the junction temperature information of each sub-module needs to be extracted and uniformly controlled. Therefore, the improvement of the short-circuit current tolerance of high-voltage direct-hanging battery energy storage systems urgently needs further research. Summary of the invention

The loss generated by the device is calculated based on the current estimated junction temperature, and then a new junction temperature is re-estimated based on the calculated loss.

[0159] The junction temperature optimization strategy execution module converts the modulated voltage into a pulse width modulation signal while executing various junction temperature management strategies that can reduce losses, thereby improving the transient overcurrent tolerance capability of the grid-type high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system.

[0160] The junction temperature management strategy includes but is not limited to adjusting the switching frequency, changing the modulation strategy, adjusting the DC bus voltage, designing intelligent gate drive, dynamic power distribution, adjusting the power factor angle and reactive power, etc. For an example of adjusting the power factor angle, refer to Figure 4, decompose the modulated voltage vector so that the submodules can work at a power factor angle that can withstand the maximum short-circuit current and does not affect the system's external power factor. In order to achieve two modulation voltages, the energy storage submodules of each phase need to be divided into two groups. Since the voltage amplitudes of the two groups of modulation may differ greatly, the number of energy storage submodules contained in each group needs to be determined when grouping to prevent over-modulation. The number of energy storage submodules contained in each group is allocated according to the ratio of the voltage amplitudes of the two groups of modulation:

[0164] The present invention provides a method for improving the transient overcurrent capability of a grid-connected high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system, which specifically includes:

[0165] Step S1: Establish an accurate electrothermal field-circuit coupling model (including loss model, circuit model, and thermal circuit model) of the power device of the energy storage submodule, and design a junction temperature extraction algorithm.

[0166] Reference Figure 2 , step S1 needs to be implemented by the following steps:

[0167] Step S1.1: Establish loss models of switch components and batteries in the submodule, including but not limited to loss calculation based on definition, loss calculation based on physical model, loss calculation based on data sheet, loss calculation based on mathematical model, etc.;

[0168] Step S1.2: Establishing a circuit model of the switch components and the battery in the submodule, and obtaining the loss value of the switch components and the battery at the current temperature by analyzing the heat generation behavior of the components;

[0171] Step S1.5: Iterate until the junction temperature errors between the previous and subsequent times are within a certain range, and output an accurate estimate of the junction temperature.

[0172] Step S2: construct two major indicators, namely, the loss balance between sub-modules and the loss reduction of the energy storage sub-module with the highest temperature, to evaluate the contribution and feasibility of each loss reduction method to the improvement of transient current tolerance capability.

[0173] Reference Figure 3 In step S2: the uneven distribution of thermal stress in the submodules leads to the limitation of transient current in the system. Balancing the heat load between the submodules is conducive to breaking through the weakest link of thermal stress. The junction temperature of IGBT (Insulate-Gate Bipolar Transistor) and anti-parallel diode in the submodule is balanced, which is conducive to improving the module's tolerance to larger transient current. On the basis of achieving loss balancing, the junction temperature control and efficiency optimization methods for further reducing converter losses are evaluated.

[0174] Step S3: Quantitatively analyze various factors affecting junction temperature, comprehensively consider the adjustment capability, applicable working conditions and mutual influence of each control method, so as to coordinate various junction temperature management methods. Among them, the factors affecting junction temperature include switching frequency, gate drive strategy, power factor angle, etc.;

[0175] Specifically, in step S3, various junction temperature management methods include but are not limited to the following strategies:

[0176] Reference Figure 4 , decompose the modulation voltage vector so that the submodules can work at a power factor angle that can withstand the maximum short-circuit current without affecting the external power factor of the system;

[0177] Reduce the switching frequency of the switch submodule to further reduce the switching loss of the submodule;

[0178] A gate drive strategy that can reduce device switching and conduction losses is adopted to fully release device margin without reducing device life.

[0179] Step S4: Evaluate the junction temperature control and efficiency optimization methods to further reduce the converter loss, and realize the junction temperature control and optimization by means of dynamic current limiting;

[0180] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method and system for improving the transient overcurrent capability of a grid-type high-voltage direct-mounted energy storage system. Without increasing the original hardware configuration and cost, the grid-type high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system can provide the maximum transient current and grid voltage support as much as possible when a grid fault occurs, and realize the autonomous and rapid response of the grid-type high-voltage direct-mounted battery energy storage system to high and low voltage faults and the precise and limited utilization control method of transient current, evaluate the contribution rate and feasibility of various loss reduction methods to the improvement of transient current tolerance capability, and obtain a control method for improving transient current tolerance capability.
