[0064] S1. Connect the other end of switch KM2 to the test equipment 4, and the other end of switch KM1 to the power grid;

[0065] S2, set the power point to be tested of the test device 4, close the switch KM1, open the switch KM2, collect the voltage and current of the test device 4 through the test device sampling unit 5, and calculate the power of the test device 4, adjust the parameters of the test device 4, and after the power reaches the power point to be tested, close the switch KM2;

[0074] S6. Disconnect switch KM1, and the device under test 4 is in an island state, completing the control of the high-power combined island simulation system.

[0075] The present invention can use a load test power supply unit 3 in conjunction with a passive load RLC unit 2 to simulate a set RLC characteristic. And because the load test power supply unit 3 is a feedback device, a large amount of energy consumption is avoided, thereby avoiding the problem of a large amount of heat generated by the R load in traditional testing, and avoiding environmental pollution and fire risks caused by load heat dissipation. And the use of the load test power supply unit 3 can compress the RLC load cost, and build a larger test platform, ultimately improving the test revenue and reducing the test cost. The technical problems of the original test scheme that the RLC load cost is too high, the heat dissipation is difficult, and the test magnitude is too small are solved.

[0076] The present invention also supports the upgrade function of the existing test platform, and the test capacity can be non-destructively upgraded without abandoning the original passive platform, thereby improving the test efficiency.

[0077] An islanding experiment was conducted on a high-power combined islanding simulation system of this embodiment:

[0078] Working condition description: Set the power point to be tested of the test equipment 2 to 1MW, and use the passive load RLC unit 2 plus the active load (50% each) to carry out the capacitor pull-off islanding experiment.

[0079] Channel description: The test device 2 is connected to the inverter for island protection. The port voltage of the test device 2 and the three currents on the ABC source side of the power grid change with time as shown in the following figure: Figure 5 As shown, the A phase current of the CH1 test equipment port; CH2-CH4 are the ABC three-phase currents on the grid side. Figure 5 The time between AB indicates the island protection time.

[0080] Under the same working conditions, the island protection time of different capacitors is as follows:

[0081]

[0082] Draw the curve of the pulling degree and protection time in Table 1 as shown in Figure 6 As shown, according to Figure 6 It can be seen that the protection time of the inverter for islanding will decrease as the deviation increases and finally stabilize at the limit value of about 350ms. Compared with the pure passive load experiment, the difference in protection time is small and conforms to the law of the influence of bias on protection time.

[0083] In the high-power combined island simulation system of this embodiment, the use of passive R load is reduced, which can greatly reduce heat generation.
