Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of flexible direct current transmission, and in particular relates to a converter control method and device based on a virtual synchronous machine, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In flexible DC transmission projects, in order to improve the capacity and quality of power transmission, multiple converters are used in parallel in the converter station. Take two converters in parallel as an example. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the sending-end new energy station is connected to the AC bus of the sending-end converter station at a voltage level of 66kV. The two converters WFMMC1 and WFMMC2 of the sending-end converter station are connected in parallel to the same AC bus, and are connected to the corresponding converters of the receiving-end converter station through the pole 1 (positive) line and the pole 2 (negative) line, as well as the metal return line. The two converters GSMMC1 and GSMMC2 of the receiving-end converter station are also connected in parallel to the same AC bus and connected to the same receiving-end power grid. The two converters of the sending-end converter control the AC voltage and frequency to provide grid-connected AC voltage for the sending-end new energy, and the two converters of the receiving-end converter control the DC voltage to provide a stable DC voltage for the flexible DC transmission system.

[0003] For the scenario of multiple converters in parallel, the document "Control Strategy of Bipolar Flexible DC Converter Station Accessed to Isolated New Energy Power Field" proposes a method of coordinated control of AC voltage and frequency droop of bipolar converter units (referred to as dual U / f droop control). Both dual converters adopt reactive power / AC voltage (Q / U) droop control to adjust the amplitude balance of the AC bus voltage of the dual converters. Both dual converters adopt active power / AC frequency (P / f) droop control to adjust the phase synchronization of the AC bus voltage of the dual converters. However, since the primary and secondary devices involved in the control loops of each converter have certain differences, the control device of each converter independently controls the reactive power, the reactive power command value Qref of each converter remains consistent, and the sum of the reactive powers of the converters is constant, resulting in inconsistent reactive power of each converter. The deviation between the reactive power of one converter and the reactive power command value is greater than zero, and the deviation between the reactive power of the other converter and the reactive power command value is less than zero, which leads to a large reactive power circulation between the two converters, making it impossible to achieve reactive power balance of multiple converters, which may cause the reactive power of the converter to exceed the limit and affect the stable operation of the system. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a converter control method, device and computer-readable storage medium based on a virtual synchronous machine, so as to solve the problem that the existing converter control method in a multi-converter parallel scenario causes reactive power circulation between converters, affecting the stable operation of the system.

[0028] 1. Virtual mechanical control part

[0029] Virtual mechanical control adopts active power control mode. The phase angle required for virtual control of the converter is calculated based on the active power command value of the converter, the actual value of the active power of the converter, the reference angular velocity of the AC power grid, the inertia time constant of the virtual synchronous machine and the damping of the virtual synchronous machine. The formula used to calculate the phase angle is as follows:

[0030]

J ,ω0,P ref , D and other parameters remain consistent.

[0032] 2. Reactive power differential regulation part

[0033] The calculation method of the reactive power differential regulation amount of the converter is as follows: the first regulation amount allocated to the converter is calculated according to the difference in the actual reactive power between the two poles in the converter station where the converter is located and the number of converters in the pole where the converter is located, the sum of the differences in the actual reactive power between the converter and other converters connected in parallel with the same pole is calculated as the second regulation amount, the reactive power difference of the converter is obtained by superimposing the first regulation amount and the second regulation amount, and the reactive power differential regulation amount of the converter is obtained according to the reactive power difference of the converter and the reactive power differential regulation coefficient. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0034] The first adjustment amount QA1 evenly distributed by the converter is:

[0035]

[0036] The reactive power difference Δq of this converter is:

[0037]

[0038] The reactive power differential regulation ΔQ of this converter is:

[0044]

[0045] The reactive power difference regulation of the first converter in this pole is:

[0046] ΔQ=k0*(QA1+q1)

[0047] q1=Q2-Q1

[0048] The reactive power difference regulation of the second converter in this pole is:

[0049] ΔQ=k0*(QA1+q2)

[0050] q2=Q1-Q2

[0051] 3. Virtual excitation control part

[0052] Virtual excitation control adopts AC voltage mode, performs PI control on the difference between the AC bus voltage command value and the actual value of the AC bus voltage, and superimposes the value after PI control on the reactive power difference adjustment amount of the converter and the converter reference voltage to obtain the converter control voltage.

Among them, the parameters such as E0, kp, and ki of each converter remain consistent.

[0055] 4. Converter voltage control part

[0056] The converter voltage control uses the phase angle θ determined by the virtual mechanical control and the converter control voltage Eq determined by the virtual excitation control to calculate the converter voltage command value. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0057]

[0058] Among them, v a_ref 、v b_ref 、v c_ref They represent the voltage command values ​​of converter phase a, phase b, and phase c respectively, in kV.
