In this case, as shown in Patent Document 1, when the AC voltage of the power system changes, voltage control is performed to reduce the difference in effective power input and output between the power system and the power converter.

[0008] However, even if voltage control is performed to stabilize effective power, the output current of the inverter may not reach the reference current required by the power system, and the power system may become unstable. Therefore, in order to supply stable effective power to the power system, voltage control is required to output the effective current and reactive current required by the power system.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to provide a technology capable of performing voltage control so as to output active current and reactive current required by the power system when the AC voltage of the power system fluctuates.

[0024] A voltage control device and a voltage control method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to common elements in each figure, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

[0025] 1. Overview of power conversion system

[0026] Figure 1 1 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the power conversion system 1. The power conversion system 1 includes a voltage control device 10, a transformer 20, and a power system 30. The voltage control device 10 includes a battery 11, an inverter 12, and a control device 100.

[0027] The inverter 12 is a device that converts DC power output from the battery 11 into AC power and supplies the AC power to the power system 30 via the transformer 20. As the inverter 12, a voltage-controlled GFM inverter is exemplified.

[0028] The control device 100 is a device connected to the inverter 12 and controls the output power output from the inverter 12. Specifically, the control device 100 inputs the detection value of the output voltage Vs (hereinafter referred to as the Vs detection value) and the detection value of the output current Io (hereinafter referred to as the Io detection value) output from the inverter 12. The Vs detection value and the Io detection value are detected by a detector (not shown) provided between the voltage control device 10 and the power system 30. Figure 1 In the example shown, the Vs detection value and the Io detection value detected between the voltage control device 10 and the transformer 20 are input to the control device 100, but the Vs detection value and the Io detection value detected between the transformer 20 and the power system 30 may be input. In this way, the detection value of the AC voltage of the power system 30 may also be the Vs detection value. In addition, the detection value of the AC current of the power system 30 may also be the Io detection value.

[0029] In addition, the output voltage Vs output from the inverter 12 is composed of three-phase voltages (Vsu, Vsv, Vsw), and the output current Io output from the inverter 12 is composed of three-phase currents (Iou, Iov, Iow). That is, the above-mentioned Vs detection value includes a Vsu detection value, a Vsv detection value, and a Vsw detection value, and the above-mentioned Io detection value includes an Iou detection value, an Iov detection value, and an Iow detection value.

[0030] The control device 100 performs VSG (Virtual Synchronous Generator) control based on the input Vs detection value and Io detection value. VSG refers to a virtual synchronous generator that allows the inverter 12 to virtually have the dynamic characteristics of a synchronous generator. That is, VSG control refers to controlling the virtual synchronous generator. The dynamic characteristics of the synchronous generator include an inertia constant M, a braking constant D, etc. As a result, when a system accident occurs, that is, when LVRT (Low Voltage Ride Through) occurs, the power system 30 can be prevented from becoming unstable.

[0031] Moreover, the control device 100 performs voltage control on the inverter 12 based on the execution result of the VSG control so that the output current Io output from the inverter 12 when the LVRT is generated becomes the current value required by the power system 30. The voltage control includes the generation of three-phase voltages (Vsu, Vsv, Vsw) and PWM control for performing pulse width modulation on the three-phase voltages. Moreover, the control device 100 outputs the voltage control signal generated by the PWM control to the inverter 12. Thus, the inverter 12 can reduce the difference in AC power between the power system 30 and the inverter 12 based on the voltage control signal.

[0032] 2. Specific example of voltage control device

[0033] 2-1. Example of control device configuration

[0034] The control device 100 has hardware for realizing various functions. The hardware may be a processing circuit or a computer in which a CPU executes a program stored in a storage device. Examples of the processing circuit include FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).

[0035] 2-2. Functional example of control device

[0036] Figure 2 1 is a block diagram showing a functional example of the control device 100 in the voltage control device 10 according to the embodiment. The control device 100 includes an effective and ineffective voltage calculation processing unit 101, an effective and ineffective current calculation processing unit 102, a VSG control unit 103, a dq axis voltage conversion unit 104, a dq axis current command calculation unit 105, a virtual impedance generation unit 106, a virtual voltage generation unit 107, a first output selection circuit 108, a second output selection circuit 109, a switching determination circuit 110, an addition and subtraction circuit 111, and a voltage control circuit 112.

[0037] The effective / ineffective voltage calculation processing unit 101 calculates the effective voltage Vd and the ineffective voltage Vq based on the Vs detection value input to the control device 100. The effective voltage Vd and the ineffective voltage Vq calculated by the effective / ineffective voltage calculation processing unit 101 are expressed by the following equation (1) as an example.

[0038]

Formula 1

[0039]

[0040] The effective and reactive current calculation processing unit 102 calculates the effective current Id and the reactive current Iq based on the Io detection value input to the control device 100. The effective current Id and the reactive current Iq calculated by the effective and reactive current calculation processing unit 102 are expressed by the following equation (2) as an example.

[0041]

Formula 2

[0042]

[0043] The VSG control unit 103 generates a voltage command value Vref of the output voltage Vs of the inverter 12. The voltage command value Vref is, for example, a fixed value determined according to the power system 30 connected to the inverter 12. The voltage command value Vref includes a d-axis voltage command value Vdref and a q-axis voltage command value Vqref.

[0044] The d-axis voltage command value Vdref is also referred to as an effective voltage command value Vdref, and the q-axis voltage command value Vqref is also referred to as an ineffective voltage command value Vqref. The dq-axis voltage converter 104 converts the voltage command value Vref generated by the VSG controller 103 into an effective voltage command value Vdref and an ineffective voltage command value Vqref.

[0045] The dq axis current command calculation unit 105 calculates the d axis current command value Idref and the q axis current command value Iqref required by the power system 30 based on the voltage command value Vref and the Vs detection value when LVRT occurs as the AC voltage of the power system 30 changes. The d axis current command value Idref is also called the effective current command value Idref, and the q axis current command value Iqref is also called the reactive current command value Iqref. The effective current command value Idref and the reactive current command value Iqref calculated by the dq axis current command calculation unit 105 are respectively represented by the following equations (3) and (4) as an example. K is a constant value determined according to the specifications of the inverter 12. ΔV is a differential voltage Vdiff obtained by differentiating the voltage command value Vref from the Vs detection value.

[0046]

Formula 3

[0047] Iqref=kΔV…(3)

[0048]

Formula 4

[0049]

[0050] Here, when the variables used in equations (3) and (4) are expressed as percentages, the effective current command value Idref is calculated in a manner that does not exceed 100%. Specifically, when the voltage drop of the Vs detection value is reduced to 60%, ΔV becomes Vdref-Vs=100%-60%=40%. In addition, when k is set to the constant value of "2", Iqref becomes 2×40%=80%. In this case, Iqref does not exceed 100%, so it becomes 80%. In addition, the ineffective current command value Iqref is calculated in a manner that the sum of the square value of the effective current command value Idref and the square value of the ineffective current command value Iqref becomes 1. Therefore, when the effective current command value Idref is 80%, the ineffective current command value Iqref becomes 60% according to equation (4).

[0051] Next, consider the case where the voltage drop of the Vs detection value decreases to 10%. In this case, ΔV becomes Vdref-Vs=100%-10%=90%. In addition, when k is set to the constant value of "2", Iqref becomes 2×90%=180%. In this case, Iqref exceeds 100%, so it becomes 100% of the upper limit. In addition, when the effective current command value Idref is 100%, the ineffective current command value Iqref becomes 0% according to formula (4).

[0052] The virtual impedance generating unit 106 calculates the virtual impedance in such a way that the output voltage Vs of the inverter 12 increases when the voltage drop of the Vs detection value is above the threshold value, that is, when the differential voltage Vdiff obtained by differentiating the Vs detection value and the voltage command value Vref is above the threshold value. The virtual impedance includes a resistor Rv and a reactance Xv. The resistor Rv and the reactance Xv are calculated based on the effective voltage command value Vdref, the ineffective voltage command value Vqref, the effective current command value Idref, the ineffective current command value Iqref, the effective voltage Vd, and the ineffective voltage Vq, respectively. The details of the calculation of the virtual impedance (resistance Rv and reactance Xv) will be described later.

[0053] The virtual voltage generating unit 107 generates a virtual effective voltage Vud and a virtual invalid voltage Vuq for increasing the output voltage Vs of the inverter 12 based on the virtual impedance (resistance Rv and reactance Xv2), the effective current Id, and the invalid current Iq. The virtual effective voltage Vud and the virtual invalid voltage Vuq calculated by the virtual voltage generating unit 107 are respectively expressed as an example by the following formula (5).

[0054]

Formula 5

[0055]

[0056] The first output selection circuit 108 is a switching switch having two input terminals and one output terminal. The first output selection circuit 108 switches in a manner that selects one of the two input terminals. Specifically, when the switching determination result input to the first output selection circuit 108 is "0", the first output selection circuit 108 switches to select the first input terminal. On the other hand, when the switching determination result input to the first output selection circuit 108 is "1", the first output selection circuit 108 switches to select the second input terminal. Figure 2 In the illustrated example, a fixed value (zero value) is input to the first input terminal of the first output selection circuit 108 , and a virtual effective voltage Vud is input to the second input terminal of the first output selection circuit 108 .

[0057] The switching determination result is generated by the switching determination circuit 110. When the differential voltage Vdiff between the Vs detection value and the voltage command value Vref is lower than the threshold value, that is, when the AC voltage of the power system 30 is not in the LVRT state, the switching determination circuit 110 outputs "0" as the switching determination result. On the other hand, when the differential voltage Vdiff between the Vs detection value and the voltage command value Vref is higher than the threshold value, that is, when the AC voltage of the power system 30 is in the LVRT state, the switching determination circuit 110 outputs "1" as the switching determination result. The first output selection circuit 108 outputs the voltage input to the selected input terminal. The voltage output from the first output selection circuit 108 is called the selection effective voltage Vdsel.

[0058] The second output selection circuit 109 is a switching switch having two input terminals and one output terminal. The second output selection circuit 109 switches in a manner that selects one of the two input terminals. Specifically, when the switching determination result input to the second output selection circuit 109 is "0", the second output selection circuit 109 switches to select the first input terminal. On the other hand, when the switching determination result input to the second output selection circuit 109 is "1", the second output selection circuit 109 switches to select the second input terminal. Figure 2 In the example shown, a fixed value (zero value) is input to the first input terminal of the second output selection circuit 109 , and a virtual null voltage Vuq is input to the second input terminal of the second output selection circuit 109 .

[0059] As described above, the switching determination result is generated by the switching determination circuit 110. The second output selection circuit 109 outputs the voltage input to the selected input terminal. The voltage output from the second output selection circuit 109 is called a selection invalid voltage Vqsel.

[0060] The addition and subtraction circuit 111 includes four addition and subtraction circuits (a first addition and subtraction circuit 111a, a second addition and subtraction circuit 111b, a third addition and subtraction circuit 111c, and a fourth addition and subtraction circuit 111d). The first addition and subtraction circuit 111a is an addition and subtraction circuit that adds the effective voltage command value Vdref and subtracts the selected effective voltage Vdsel. The second addition and subtraction circuit 111b is an addition and subtraction circuit that adds the invalid voltage command value Vqref and subtracts the selected invalid voltage Vqsel. The third addition and subtraction circuit 111c is an addition and subtraction circuit that adds the output of the first addition and subtraction circuit 111a and subtracts the effective voltage Vd. The fourth addition and subtraction circuit 111d is an addition and subtraction circuit that adds the output of the second addition and subtraction circuit 111b and subtracts the invalid voltage Vq.

[0061] When the effective voltage output from the third adder-subtractor circuit 111c is taken as the abnormal effective voltage Errd and the invalid voltage output from the fourth adder-subtractor circuit 111d is taken as the abnormal invalid voltage Errq, the relational expression (6) shown below holds.

[0062]

Formula 6

[0063]

[0064] In addition, when equation (5) is substituted into equation (6), it is expressed by the following equation (7).

[0065]

Formula 7

[0066]

[0067] In this case, if the abnormal effective voltage Errd and the abnormal invalid voltage Errq are both zero values, it means that the virtual effective voltage Vud and the virtual invalid voltage Vuq are both appropriate voltage values. That is, by setting the abnormal effective voltage Errd and the abnormal invalid voltage Errq to zero in advance, the optimal values ​​of the virtual effective voltage Vud and the virtual invalid voltage Vuq can be calculated.

[0068] Moreover, the power factor expressed by percentage of the effective voltage Vd relative to the output voltage Vs of the inverter 12 is preferably high. Accordingly, the invalid voltage Vq and the invalid voltage command value Vqref are both set to zero. Therefore, in the formula (7), when Errd=0, Errq=0, the invalid voltage Vq=0, and the invalid voltage command value Vqref=0, the resistance Rv and the reactance Xv of the virtual impedance are each expressed as an example by the following formula (8).

[0069]

Formula 8

[0070]

[0071] Thus, since the effective current command value Idref and the reactive current command value Iqref are included in the calculation formula of the virtual impedance, the voltage control device 10 can output appropriate effective current Id and reactive current Iq to the power system 30 .

[0072] The voltage control circuit 112 is a circuit that performs voltage control based on the virtual effective voltage Vud and the virtual ineffective voltage Vuq calculated from the virtual impedance so that the effective current Id and the ineffective current Iq are close to the effective current command value Idref and the ineffective current command value Iqref required by the power system 30. In addition, the voltage control circuit 112 outputs a voltage control signal Vsc generated by the voltage control.

[0073] In addition, as described above, voltage control includes processing for generating three-phase voltages (Vsu, Vsv, Vsw) and PWM control for performing pulse width modulation on the three-phase voltages. In PWM control, the generated three-phase voltages are controlled to have a predetermined pulse width and a predetermined frequency. In addition, PI control is used, for example, in the generation of the three-phase voltage based on voltage control.

[0074] 2-3. Example of calculation results of virtual impedance

[0075] Figure 3 : is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the virtual impedance of the voltage control device 10 according to the embodiment. Specifically, Figure 3The waveforms of the resistance Rv and reactance Xv in the virtual impedance relative to the Vs detection value are shown. Figure 3 The horizontal axis of the graph shown in FIG. 1 represents the Vs detection value, and the vertical axis represents the resistance Rv and the reactance Xv values. Figure 3 In the example shown, the value of each variable is expressed by PU (Per Unit), but it may also be expressed by percentage.

[0076] exist Figure 3 In the example shown, the waveforms of the resistor Rv and the reactance Xv are obtained when the effective voltage command value Vdref is set to "1" and the constant k is set to "2" in the above formula (7). For example, consider the resistor Rv and the reactance Xv when the Vs detection value is reduced to 0.4 (40%). In this case, the effective current command value Idref required by the power system 30 becomes 0% based on the above formula (3), and the reactive current command value Iqref required by the power system 30 becomes 100% based on the above formula (4). In order to achieve this, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the resistance Rv is 0.06 and the reactance Xv is 0.6.

[0077] 2-4. Example of inverter output results

[0078] Figure 4 It is a diagram for explaining an example of an output result of the inverter 12 in the voltage control device 10 according to the embodiment. Figure 4 (A) shows an example of the waveform of the effective voltage Vd and the waveform of the invalid voltage Vq when the Vs detection value decreases to 65%. Figure 4 (B) shows an example of the waveform of the effective current Id and the waveform of the reactive current Iq output from the inverter 12 to the power system 30 based on the voltage control signal Vsc generated by the voltage control circuit 112 when the Vs detection value decreases to 65%. Figure 4 In the example shown in (B), when the Vs detection value decreases to 65%, the effective current Id is output at about 70% and the reactive current Iq is output at about -70%.

[0079] Figure 4 (C) shows an example of the waveform of the effective voltage Vd and the waveform of the invalid voltage Vq when the Vs detection value decreases to 40%. Figure 4 (D) shows an example of the waveform of the effective current Id and the waveform of the reactive current Iq output from the inverter 12 to the power system 30 based on the voltage control signal Vsc generated by the voltage control circuit 112 when the Vs detection value decreases to 40%. Figure 4In the example shown in (D), when the Vs detection value drops to 40%, the effective current Id is output at about 0%, and the ineffective current Iq is output at about -100%.

[0080] In this way, when the AC voltage of the power system 30 varies, the effective current Id and the reactive current Iq required by the power system 30 are output based on the virtual impedance to reduce the difference in AC power between the power system 30 and the inverter 12 .

[0081] 3. Processing example

[0082] Figure 5 1 is a flowchart showing a processing example of the control device 100 in the voltage control device 10 according to the embodiment.

[0083] In step S100, the control device 100 determines whether the voltage drop of the output voltage of the inverter 12 is greater than or equal to a threshold value. If the voltage drop of the output voltage is greater than or equal to the threshold value (step S100; Yes), the process proceeds to step S110. Otherwise (step S100; No), the control device 100 ends the process.

[0084] In step S110, the control device 100 calculates the first virtual impedance based on the voltage command value Vref and the output voltage Vs of the inverter 12. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S120.

[0085] In addition, the virtual impedance is calculated based on the prescribed conditions. The prescribed conditions are the following conditions: the invalid voltage Vq is zero, the invalid voltage command value Vqref is zero, the voltage value obtained by subtracting the virtual effective voltage Vud and the effective voltage Vd from the effective voltage command value Vdref is zero, and the voltage value obtained by subtracting the virtual invalid voltage Vuq and the invalid voltage Vq from the invalid voltage command value Vqref is zero.

[0086] In step S120, the control device 100 calculates a virtual effective voltage Vud and a virtual reactive voltage Vuq by multiplying the effective current Id and the reactive current Iq calculated from the output current Io of the inverter 12 by virtual impedance, respectively. Then, the process proceeds to step S130.

[0087] In step S130 , the control device 100 performs voltage control based on the virtual effective voltage Vud and the virtual reactive voltage Vuq so that the effective current Id and the reactive current Iq output from the inverter 12 approach the effective current command value Idref and the reactive current command value Iqref required by the power system 30 , respectively.

[0088] 4. Effect

[0089] According to the voltage control device 10 involved in the embodiment, when the voltage drop of the output voltage Vs of the inverter 12 is greater than the threshold value due to the change of the AC voltage of the power system 30, the virtual impedance is calculated based on the voltage command value Vref and the output voltage Vs of the inverter 12. Moreover, in the voltage control device 10, a virtual effective voltage Vud and a virtual invalid voltage Vuq are generated based on the virtual impedance. Moreover, in the voltage control device 10, voltage control is performed based on the virtual effective voltage Vud and the virtual invalid voltage Vuq so that the effective current Id and the invalid current Iq output from the inverter 12 are respectively close to the effective current command value Idref and the invalid current command value Iqref required by the power system 30. Thus, even if the AC voltage of the power system 30 changes, the effective current Id and the invalid current Iq required by the power system 30 can be output.
