Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic power stations, in particular to a photovoltaic power station grid-connected control system, which can achieve the stability of the photovoltaic power station output voltage and improve the efficiency and reliability of photovoltaic power generation. Background Art

[0002] The photovoltaic power station grid-connected control system refers to a system installed in the photovoltaic power station, which automatically receives the active power and voltage (reactive) setting values ​​issued by the dispatching master station, automatically adjusts the active / reactive power of the inverter, SVC, SVG and other equipment in the station in a closed loop, and tracks the instructions issued by the dispatching master station in real time.

[0003] As the capacity of photovoltaic power stations increases, the system structure and control strategy of large photovoltaic power stations connected to the grid become more complex, and the requirements for grid-connected inverters also increase. The inverter is the core and key in the photovoltaic power generation grid-connected system. Reasonable design and improvement of the structure and control method of the inverter can effectively improve the system efficiency. At present, the inverter has developed from a single-stage topology to a multi-stage topology, and many topologies that combine the advantages of single-stage and multi-stage have also emerged.

[0004] In addition to the continuous advancement of inverter technology, the photovoltaic power station grid-connected control system also involves key technologies such as photovoltaic grid-connected inverter technology, photovoltaic grid-connected monitoring technology, anti-islanding protection technology, low voltage ride-through and DC grid-connected technology selection. The comprehensive application of these technologies ensures that the photovoltaic power station can be efficiently and stably connected to the grid.

[0005] Although the existing technology has made significant progress in the control of photovoltaic power station grid connection, the technology closest to this technical solution still has the following disadvantages:

[0006] 1. The inverter control strategy is not optimized enough:

[0007] Existing inverter control strategies may not be able to fully adapt to the complex working conditions when photovoltaic power stations are connected to the grid, resulting in low system efficiency or insufficient stability.

[0008] The inverter efficiency tends to decrease when the load factor is below 20% and above 80%, which limits the overall power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic power station.

[0009] 2. The reactive power compensation device responds slowly:

[0010] Although reactive power compensation devices such as SVC and SVG can effectively improve the stability of the power system, their response speed is relatively slow and they may not be able to cope with rapid changes in the power grid in a timely manner.

[0011] Traditional reactive power compensation devices such as synchronous phase condensers and shunt capacitors have limitations in response speed, loss noise, operation and maintenance, and have gradually been replaced by static reactive power compensation devices. However, the cost and technical requirements of the new devices are also relatively high.

[0012] 3. System integration and intelligence level need to be improved:

[0013] The existing photovoltaic power station grid-connected control system still needs to be improved in terms of system integration and intelligence level. For example, the system may not be able to realize functions such as remote monitoring and intelligent operation and maintenance, resulting in low operation and maintenance efficiency and low power generation benefits.

[0014] The configuration of the reactive power compensation device of a photovoltaic power station needs to be determined after calculating the reactive voltage based on the actual situation. This process may be cumbersome and not intelligent enough.

[0015] 4. Impact on grid stability:

[0016] The volatility and randomness of photovoltaic power generation may affect the stability of the power grid. For example, when the output power of a photovoltaic power station changes suddenly, it may cause problems such as grid voltage fluctuations or frequency deviations.

[0017] The entry of distributed photovoltaic power into the distribution network may also have an impact on relay protection, increasing the risk of grid operation.

[0018] In summary, the existing photovoltaic power station grid-connected control system still has deficiencies in terms of inverter control strategy, reactive power compensation device response speed, system integration and intelligence level, and impact on grid stability. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more advanced, efficient and stable photovoltaic power station grid-connected control system to overcome these drawbacks. Summary of the invention

[0084] The control instructions are transmitted to the controller module to realize operations such as disconnection and replacement of abnormal battery cells or battery packs.

[0085] (2) Implementation of fault diagnosis algorithm

[0086] Determine the fault diagnosis threshold:

[0087] According to the actual situation of the photovoltaic power station and the performance parameters of the battery unit or battery group, set reasonable voltage deviation threshold and current deviation threshold;

[0088] When the voltage deviation ΔV i Or current deviation ΔI i When the set threshold is exceeded, the battery cell or battery pack is considered to be faulty.

[0102] 3. Control instruction generation and execution

[0103] The central processing unit module generates control instructions based on the algorithm calculation results, including disconnecting the low-voltage battery unit or battery pack from the output circuit, and selecting and connecting the high-voltage battery unit or battery pack to the output circuit;

[0117] 1. System parameters and preset thresholds

[0118] 1. Battery array module:

[0119] Number of photovoltaic cells: n = 1000 (assuming each cell has a capacity of 1kW)

[0120] Single battery cell voltage V c : 30V

[0121] Single battery cell current I c :5A

[0122] 2. Preset threshold:

[0123] The first preset threshold V th1 : 28000V (considering system efficiency and safety margin, set to 93.3% of the total capacity of the battery array)

[0124] The second preset threshold V th2 : 25V (Battery cells below this value are considered low voltage)

[0125] The third preset threshold V th3 : 32V (Battery cells with a value higher than this are considered high voltage and can be used to replace low voltage battery cells)

[0126] Temperature compensation coefficient: According to the temperature change, for every 1℃ increase, V th1 、V th2 and V th3 Reducing by 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.1% respectively

[0127] 3. Other parameters:

[0128] System efficiency η: 90% (considering losses in battery array, inverter, line, etc.)

[0129] Energy storage device startup voltage threshold V_storage_threshold: 30000V (when the total voltage of the battery array exceeds this value, the energy storage device starts)

[0130] Energy storage device releases electric energy voltage threshold V_release_threshold: 27000V (when the total voltage of the battery array is lower than this value, the energy storage device releases electric energy)

[0131] 2. Implementation process and specific operations

[0132] 1. Data collection and preprocessing:

[0133] The data acquisition module collects the voltage V of each battery cell in real time i 、Current I i and temperature T i data;

[0134] The collected data is transferred to the central processing unit module for preprocessing, including data cleaning, outlier detection, etc.

[0135] Specifically:

[0136] (1) Data Collection

[0137] Voltage V i Collection of:

[0138] Each battery cell is equipped with a voltage sensor for real-time monitoring of the voltage of the battery cell;

[0139] The voltage sensor converts the collected voltage signal into a digital signal for subsequent processing;

[0140] The collected voltage data is transmitted to the data acquisition module via a data line or wirelessly.

[0141] Current I i Collection of:

[0142] Similar to voltage acquisition, each battery cell is also equipped with a current sensor;

[0143] The current sensor monitors the current output of the battery cell and converts it into a digital signal;

[0144] The current data is also transmitted to the data acquisition module via a data line or wirelessly.

[0145] Temperature T i Collection of:

[0146] The temperature sensor is installed near or inside the battery cell to monitor the temperature of the battery cell;

[0147] The temperature sensor converts the collected temperature data into a digital signal;

[0148] The temperature data is transmitted to the data acquisition module via a data line or wirelessly.

[0149] (2) Data preprocessing

[0150] Data cleaning:

[0151] Data cleaning refers to checking and correcting the collected data to eliminate or reduce errors;

[0152] During the data cleaning process, the CPU module checks the integrity of the data to ensure that there are no missing or duplicate values;

[0153] At the same time, the CPU module also smoothes the data to eliminate noise and fluctuations.

[0154] Outlier Detection:

[0155] Outliers are data points that differ significantly from the majority of data points and may be caused by sensor failure, data transmission errors, or battery cell failure.

[0156] The CPU module uses statistical methods (such as mean, standard deviation, median, etc.) to detect outliers;

[0157] Once an outlier is detected, the central processing unit module will mark or remove it to avoid negative impact on subsequent algorithm calculations and decisions.

[0158] Data calibration:

[0159] In some cases, sensors may have errors due to aging, drift, or environmental factors (such as temperature, humidity, etc.);

[0160] The CPU module will use a calibration algorithm to calibrate the collected data to eliminate or reduce these errors;

[0161] Calibration algorithms may include linear calibration, nonlinear calibration, or model-based calibration.

[0162] Data format conversion and storage:

[0163] The CPU module converts the preprocessed data into a format suitable for subsequent algorithm calculations and decision-making;

[0164] At the same time, the CPU module will also store the pre-processed data in a local or remote database for subsequent analysis and use;

[0165] Through the above data collection and preprocessing process, the photovoltaic power station grid-connected control system can obtain accurate and reliable battery unit voltage, current and temperature data, providing strong support for subsequent algorithm calculation and decision-making.

[0166] 2. Algorithm calculation and decision-making:

[0167] The CPU module calculates the overall voltage V of the battery array total and the average voltage V avg :

[0168]

[0169] (Assuming all battery cells have a voltage of 30V)

[0170]

[0171] Judge V avg (30V) is not lower than the first preset threshold V th1 (28000V / system efficiency 90% = approximate value of 30989V, but here to simplify the calculation, 30V and 28000V are directly compared / the influence of system efficiency is not considered. In fact, 30V should be compared with the threshold adjusted by system efficiency). Since the voltages of all battery cells are normal in this example, the battery cell replacement operation is not performed.

[0172] Monitor temperature data and adjust the preset threshold according to the temperature compensation coefficient; assuming the current temperature is 25°C, there is no need to adjust the preset threshold.

[0173] 3. Control instruction generation and execution:

[0174] In this case, since all battery cell voltages are normal, the CPU module does not generate control instructions;

[0175] If a low-voltage battery cell appears, the central processing unit module will generate a control instruction to disconnect the battery cell from the output circuit and select a high-voltage battery cell for replacement.

[0176] 4. Power output and monitoring:

[0177] The output circuit module transmits the adjusted stable electric energy to the power grid;

[0178] Real-time monitoring of the voltage, current and other parameters on the grid side to ensure the stability and safety of the grid connection process;

[0179] Specifically,

[0180] (1) Power output

[0181] Output circuit module design:

[0182] The output circuit module is the interface between the photovoltaic power station and the power grid, responsible for converting the electricity generated by the battery array into a form suitable for grid access;

[0183] This module usually contains key components such as inverters, filters, and transformers, which are used to convert DC power into AC power and adjust parameters such as voltage and frequency to meet grid requirements;

[0184] In this example, since the capacity of the photovoltaic power station is 1MW, the output circuit module must have corresponding power processing capabilities and ensure power conversion efficiency.

[0185] Power quality assurance:

[0186] The output circuit module uses precise inverter control and filtering technology to ensure that the output AC waveform is smooth, stable, and has low harmonic content;

[0187] The inverter uses advanced control algorithms such as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) or SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) to optimize power quality;

[0188] The transformer is used to adjust the voltage level to ensure that the output voltage matches the grid voltage.

[0189] Grid-connected control:

[0190] The output circuit module has the function of grid-connected control and can monitor the grid status in real time, such as voltage, frequency, phase, etc.

[0191] When the grid is stable and meets the grid connection conditions, the output circuit module automatically transmits electric energy to the grid;

[0192] If the power grid fails or experiences an abnormality, such as voltage fluctuation or frequency deviation, the output circuit module can respond quickly and disconnect from the grid to protect the power station equipment and the grid.

[0193] (2) Real-time monitoring

[0194] Grid-side parameter monitoring:

[0195] Real-time monitoring of key parameters such as voltage, current, frequency, phase, etc. on the grid side;

[0196] Use high-precision sensors and measuring instruments to ensure the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data;

[0197] The monitoring data is transmitted to the central processing unit module or remote monitoring center in real time for further analysis and processing.

[0198] Fault warning and protection:

[0199] Analyze the power grid status in real time based on monitoring data and promptly detect potential faults or anomalies;

[0200] When the grid-side parameters exceed the preset range, the system can automatically trigger the fault warning mechanism and send an alarm to the operator;

[0201] If the fault is serious or endangers the safety of the power grid, the system can quickly cut off the connection with the power grid to prevent the fault from expanding.

[0202] Data recording and analysis:

[0203] Record monitoring data in real time and store it in a database for long-term data analysis and trend prediction;

[0204] Through data analysis, the operating efficiency, stability and grid-connected performance of the power station can be evaluated;

[0205] Based on the analysis results, the power plant's operating strategy can be adjusted or the control algorithm can be optimized to improve the overall performance of the power plant.

[0206] 5. Energy storage device management:

[0207] In this example, the total voltage of the battery array is 30000V, which does not reach the energy storage device startup voltage threshold V_storage_threshold (30000V), so the energy storage device does not start.

[0208] If the total voltage of the battery array exceeds V_storage_threshold, the energy storage device starts and stores electrical energy; if it is lower than V_release_threshold, the energy storage device releases electrical energy to supplement the grid demand.

[0209] 6. Remote monitoring and communication (optional):

[0210] Transmit real-time data, fault alarm information, etc. to the remote monitoring center through the communication module;

[0211] The remote monitoring center can monitor the operating status of the photovoltaic power station in real time and remotely adjust the control strategy or preset thresholds as needed;

[0212] Specifically:

[0213] (1) Real-time data collection and transmission

[0214] The communication module at the photovoltaic power station collects various data of the power station in real time through the sensor network, including the voltage, current, temperature of the battery array, and the operating status of key equipment such as inverters and energy storage devices;

[0215] After preliminary processing, the collected data is transmitted to the remote monitoring center in real time through the communication network (such as 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi, wired network, etc.).

[0216] (2) Fault alarm and early warning

[0217] When a power station fails or experiences an abnormal situation, the communication module will immediately generate fault alarm information and send it to the remote monitoring center through the communication network;

[0218] After receiving the alarm information, the remote monitoring center will immediately sound an audible and visual alarm and display the fault location and possible causes so that the operation and maintenance personnel can respond quickly.

[0219] (3) Remote monitoring and display

[0220] The remote monitoring center can display the operation status of the power station in real time through professional monitoring software, including the voltage distribution, current waveform, temperature distribution, etc. of the battery array;

[0221] The monitoring software also provides a historical data query function, which allows operation and maintenance personnel to view the operating data of the power station over a period of time in order to conduct data analysis and troubleshooting.

[0222] (4) Remote adjustment and control

[0223] The remote monitoring center can not only view the operation status of the power plant in real time, but also remotely adjust the control strategy or preset threshold of the power plant as needed;

[0224] For example, when the ambient temperature rises, the remote monitoring center can automatically or manually adjust the voltage threshold of the battery array to ensure the safe operation of the power station.

[0225] For example, when the output power of a power station fluctuates greatly, the remote monitoring center can adjust the control parameters of the inverter to stabilize the output power.

[0226] (5) Data analysis and reporting

[0227] The remote monitoring center can also conduct in-depth analysis of the power station's operating data and generate various operating reports and statistical analysis charts;

[0228] These reports and charts can help operation and maintenance personnel understand the operating efficiency, fault distribution and trends of the power plant, providing a scientific basis for the optimization and maintenance of the power plant.

[0229] In summary,

[0230] This example describes the specific application process of a 1MW photovoltaic power station grid-connected control system. By real-time monitoring and analysis of the voltage, current and temperature data of the battery array, and using intelligent algorithms for decision-making and control, the stability of the photovoltaic power station output voltage and the safety of the grid-connected process are ensured. At the same time, the system also has functions such as energy storage device management, remote monitoring and communication, which improves the flexibility and reliability of the system.
