[0050] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0051] In response to the power quality issues in power distribution systems with a high proportion of renewable energy, researchers at home and abroad have proposed a variety of solutions, but they mainly rely on the installation of dedicated management equipment such as active power filters and static VAR compensators. Based on the active control technology of power electronic components, ABB of Switzerland has proposed a digital solution to accurately manage power quality. Hunan University has fully utilized the characteristics and advantages of active and passive components and proposed a variety of "active + passive" hybrid power quality management equipment. However, the existing dedicated management equipment can only solve specific power quality problems, and the equipment has been idle for a long time and has low utilization rate. The large-scale installation of dedicated equipment is difficult to improve the overall power quality of the "double high" power distribution system, and faces prominent problems such as high cost and low equipment utilization.

[0052] Compared to the large-scale addition of specialized power quality equipment, high-renewable energy distribution systems have a large number of distributed resources on the source, grid, and load sides, offering significant potential for regulation. Therefore, fully tapping the regulatory potential of these distributed resources and traditional specialized power quality equipment is an effective means of achieving low-cost, dual-high power quality management in distribution networks. However, the diverse characteristics of these distributed resources and their complex operating conditions make accurate exploration of this regulatory potential difficult.

[0053] In summary, as the proportion of power electronics equipment increases, it is imperative to explore the potential of existing power electronics in power quality management. However, power electronics equipment has different characteristics and complex operating conditions. Accurately exploring the potential for regulation is the key to utilizing power electronics equipment in power quality management.

[0054] To address this issue, the present invention provides a method for evaluating the power quality control potential of power electronic devices in a distribution network. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A flow chart and a judgment flow chart of a method for evaluating the power quality control potential of power electronic devices in a distribution network provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0056] Step 101: Read the types of power electronic devices in the distribution network, classify them into power quality dedicated management equipment and source-grid-load power electronic devices, and mark the types of power quality control problems that they can solve respectively.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the types of power electronic devices in the distribution network are read and divided into power quality dedicated management equipment and source-grid-load power electronic devices.

[0058] In one embodiment, for Figure 3 In the dual-high-voltage distribution network shown, each source-grid-load power electronic device operates in a constant power factor operation mode, including 6 photovoltaic inverters, 4 distributed energy storage converters, 3 electric vehicle charging converters, 2 static VAR generators SVG, 1 active power filter APF, and 1 medium voltage equipment.

[0059] Classify according to the following classification rules:

[0060] Special power quality management equipment: photovoltaic inverters, distributed energy storage converters, electric vehicle charging converters;

[0061] Source-grid-load power electronic devices: APF, APG, medium voltage equipment.

[0062] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 4As shown in the figure, for the power quality special management equipment, according to its own adjustment function, the type of power quality problem control it can solve is marked; and for the source-grid-load power electronic device, according to its own characteristics and software and hardware conditions, the type of power quality problem control it can solve is marked.

[0063] Among them, the types of power quality control involved are: photovoltaic inverters solve harmonic and voltage fluctuation problems, distributed energy storage converters solve harmonic problems, voltage fluctuation problems and three-phase imbalance problems, electric vehicle charging converters solve harmonic and voltage fluctuation problems, APF solves harmonic problems, SVG solves voltage fluctuation problems, and medium voltage equipment solves harmonic and voltage fluctuation problems.

[0064] Specifically, photovoltaic inverters are primarily used to address harmonics and voltage fluctuations. By optimizing the output current waveform and stabilizing voltage output, photovoltaic inverters can effectively reduce harmonic content and stabilize grid voltage.

[0065] Distributed energy storage converters can solve harmonic problems, voltage fluctuation problems, and three-phase imbalance problems. Energy storage converters can not only provide harmonic suppression functions, but also balance grid voltage fluctuations through charge and discharge regulation, and adjust the output when the load is unbalanced to achieve three-phase current balance.

[0066] Electric vehicle charging converters are used to suppress harmonics and mitigate voltage fluctuations. Electric vehicle charging processes are prone to generating harmonics. Charging converters can adjust the charging current waveform, reducing harmonics while also compensating for grid voltage fluctuations.

[0067] APF is specifically designed to dynamically compensate for harmonics. It can monitor and suppress harmonic components in the power grid in real time, improving the current waveform and thus reducing harmonic interference on the power grid and electrical equipment.

[0068] SVG is primarily used to address voltage fluctuations. SVG can quickly respond to voltage changes and provide reactive power support to balance and stabilize the voltage level of the power grid.

[0069] Medium-voltage equipment is used to address harmonics and voltage fluctuations. It typically features powerful reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering capabilities, effectively suppressing harmonics and stabilizing voltage in the medium-voltage grid.

[0070] Step 102 : Calculate the ideal available capacity of each power electronic device according to the rated capacity and current operating status of each power electronic device.

[0071] Ideal available capacity reflects the theoretical maximum output capacity of the equipment without considering energy loss and external factors, and is usually based on the rated parameters and current operating status of the equipment.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, for the calculation process of the ideal capacity of the photovoltaic inverter, refer to Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the photovoltaic power supply under the standard constant reactive power regulation range is shown.

[0073] According to GB / T 19964-2012, "Technical Regulations for the Integration of Photovoltaic Generators into Power Systems," the reactive power of grid-connected photovoltaic inverters must be dynamically adjustable within a power factor range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging. Taking into account the power factor limit, the reactive power range of the photovoltaic power source can be calculated using the following formula:

[0074]

[0075] in, is the photovoltaic reactive power, is the photovoltaic active power, is the photovoltaic installed capacity, is the power factor.

[0076] When Figure 6 As shown, under no light conditions, and is zero, so the reactive power regulation range of the photovoltaic power source can be obtained as follows:

[0077]

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, for the calculation process of the ideal capacity of the distributed energy storage converter, refer to Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the reactive power regulation range of the distributed energy storage system shown.

[0079] Distributed energy storage has the ability to operate flexibly in four quadrants. According to GB / T 36552-2018, "Technical Regulations for the Integration of Energy Storage Systems into Power Systems," grid-connected energy storage inverters must implement constant power control, constant power factor control, and constant current control. If constant power factor control is used, the reactive power adjustment range can be determined according to the following formula:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, QBESS is the energy storage reactive power, PBESS is the energy storage active power, CBESS is the energy storage installed capacity, and cos(ɵ) is the power factor. And:

[0082]

[0083] Therefore, when distributed photovoltaics and distributed energy storage operate in a constant power factor (0.95) mode, their maximum reactive power is 0.31 times their installed capacity.

[0084] Similarly, using a similar method, we can calculate that the maximum reactive power that electric vehicle charging inverters and medium-voltage equipment can provide is 0.31 times their installed capacity. SVGs, on the other hand, are devices specifically designed to provide reactive power compensation, and their reactive power adjustment range is determined by the installed reactive power capacity. APFs are devices used to dynamically compensate for harmonics and reactive power, and their reactive power compensation capacity is determined by the installed capacity.

[0085] Therefore, based on the description of the power factor and reactive power compensation capability of different power electronic devices in specific operating modes, the maximum reactive power compensation power of the IEEE 33-bus system at a power factor of 0.95 can be estimated as:

[0086]

[0087] in, , which are the reactive power compensation coefficients of photovoltaic inverters, distributed energy storage converters, electric vehicle charging converters, and medium voltage equipment

[0088] This formula comprehensively considers the reactive power compensation capabilities of various power electronic devices under constant power factor (0.95) conditions. By summing up the reactive power capacities of different power electronic devices, the maximum reactive compensation power of the system under these conditions is obtained.

[0089] in addition, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of photovoltaic operation in other reactive power control modes in a dual-high-voltage distribution network of multiple types of source-grid-load converters in another scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 The embodiment shown shows that each power electronic device of the present application can operate in a variety of flexible control modes, and its potential evaluation method is similar to Figure 3 The embodiments shown are similar.

[0090] Step 103 , based on the ideal available capacity and current operating status of each power electronic device, combined with the impedance, grid connection requirement restrictions and power loss in the power quality management process, the actual available capacity of each power electronic device is calculated.

[0091] It's understandable that during power transmission between a power electronic device and the point to be treated, energy loss occurs due to the resistance and reactance of the line. Specifically, when current passes through the line between the power electronic device and the point to be treated, power loss occurs due to the impedance. This energy loss is primarily determined by the device's output current and the line impedance.

[0092] That is, the actual available capacity represents the real output capability that each power electronic device can provide under the current operating state and actual power transmission conditions.

[0093] In the present application, refer to Figure 2For each power quality control equipment, based on the ideal available capacity and current operating status of each power quality control equipment, combined with the impedance between the equipment and the point to be controlled, the energy loss in the power quality control process is calculated to obtain the actual available capacity of each power quality control equipment.

[0094] For each source-grid-load power electronic device, the actual available capacity of each source-grid-load power electronic device is calculated based on its ideal available capacity and current operating status, combined with the grid-connected requirements and restrictions of the electronic device and the power loss in the governance process.

[0095] It should be noted that the method for calculating power loss can adopt the existing mature method, which is calculated by combining the impedance between the power quality control location and the converter with the voltage and current under the current working state. This application does not provide too much description and explanation on this.

[0096] Step 104 : Obtain the adjustable potential of each power electronic device based on the power quality problem control type and the actual available capacity of each power electronic device.

[0097] It can be understood that the adjustable potential of each power electronic device refers to the maximum adjustment capability it can provide under current operating conditions based on different types of power quality issues (such as harmonic control, voltage fluctuation compensation and reactive power compensation).

[0098] Finally, the actual available capacity is mapped to the control type of each power electronic device, yielding the device's adjustable potential under specific power quality conditions. For example, if the device's control type is reactive power compensation, its adjustable potential is the reactive power portion of its actual available capacity.

[0099] In order to implement the above embodiments, the present application also proposes a device for evaluating the power quality control potential of power electronic devices in a distribution network. Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a power quality control potential assessment device 10 for power electronic devices in a distribution network provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 9 As shown, the device includes:
