[0092] Specifically, the control strategy refers to Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) control.

[0093] S2. Control parameters of the coupled grid-type converter, establish an optimized configuration model that meets the requirements of synchronous support capability, and construct an objective function based on minimizing the transformation cost of the grid-type converter;

[0094] It should be explained that the droop control parameters, virtual damping coefficients, and virtual moments of inertia of multiple grid-type converters are coupled; and an objective function based on minimizing the converter retrofit cost is established while meeting the requirements of the power system's synchronous support capability.

[0095] It should be explained that the synchronous support capability requirement is mainly the primary frequency regulation support capability requirement; if the configured parameters can meet the set constraints, when the power system experiences frequency disturbances, the new energy power stations that have undergone grid transformation can actively adjust their output active power to maintain the frequency stability of the power system.

[0096] S3. Based on the performance requirements of new energy power plants, establish constraints on the control parameters of grid-connected converters, and solve for the optimal parameter configuration through optimization algorithms based on the optimization configuration model.

[0097] It should be explained that, based on the performance requirements of new energy power plants, inequalities and equality constraints are established for the droop control parameters, virtual damping coefficients, and virtual moment of inertia of the grid-type converter; the proposed model is optimized and solved using an optimization algorithm to obtain the optimal configuration of the grid-type control unit parameters.

By equipping the grid-connected side of the new energy inverter with a certain capacity of energy storage modules, the entire power system possesses primary frequency regulation control capabilities. In the event of frequency fluctuations on the grid or load side, as well as fluctuations in new energy output, the energy storage regulation module compensates for the power system's power demand. New energy power plants, especially wind and solar power plants, require grid-connected control units to provide grid synchronization support capabilities, ensuring dynamic response during grid frequency fluctuations and meeting rapid frequency response requirements.

[0105] It should be explained that the energy storage module refers to battery energy storage. After configuring a certain capacity of energy storage on the DC side, when the grid connection point frequency crosses the frequency regulation dead zone, the active power target value is calculated based on the active power-frequency droop characteristic of the VSG. Control commands are then distributed and issued to the DC / DC converter connected to the energy storage system according to the active power control strategy. By adjusting the duty cycle, the voltage and current of the energy storage battery are changed, thereby changing the output power and realizing the primary frequency regulation function.

[0212] It needs to be explained that when grid-connected converters of different capacities are operated in parallel, in order to achieve reasonable power distribution among the converters, it is necessary to analyze the parameter setting principles for multiple converters of different capacities operating in parallel. Taking two converters operating in parallel as an example, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the frequency deviation is 0 in steady state. Therefore, the configuration principles for J1, J2, D1, and D2 in the system are as follows:

[0216] It should be noted that m is merely a ratio, indicating that the ratio in the current formula is the same as that in the formula below.

[0217] When the capacities of the two converters are set proportionally, their output active power should obviously be distributed according to the same proportional relationship. On the other hand, based on the active power-frequency expression, combining the active power ratio with the active power droop formula yields:

[0222] P ref1 P ref2 These are represented as the active power reference values ​​for the first grid-type converter and the second grid-type converter, respectively.

[0223] Since the angular frequencies of all converters are the same, the configuration principles for the droop control parameters k1 and k2 in the system can be obtained as follows:

[0224]

[0225] In the formula, k1 and k2 represent the droop control parameters of the first grid-type converter and the second grid-type converter, respectively.

[0226] Based on the above analysis, in order to achieve reasonable power distribution among the converters and obtain better operating characteristics, equality constraints for the network control parameters are established.

The objective function focuses on minimizing the converter's retrofit cost, comprehensively considering the active power, droop control parameters, virtual damping coefficient, and virtual moment of inertia retrofit cost of the grid-connected converter. This not only meets the requirements of system stability and performance but also significantly reduces the converter's retrofit cost, achieving dual optimization of technology and economy. Applying optimization algorithms to solve the model allows for the rapid finding of the optimal control parameter configuration, enabling multiple grid-connected converters to have good synchronous support and load distribution capabilities when operating in parallel. In practical applications, the optimal parameter configuration ensures the rapid response capability of new energy power plants during grid frequency fluctuations, allowing new energy power generation systems to effectively participate in grid frequency regulation and improving system stability and reliability.
