Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of renewable energy operation control, and in particular relates to a renewable energy reactive power control method for suppressing transient overvoltage in a DC sending-end power grid. Background Art

[0002] Renewable energy resources are often located in remote areas such as deserts, high mountains, and offshore, far from power load centers. The resulting reverse source-load distribution makes long-distance direct current (DC) transmission an important method for transmitting renewable energy power. However, for conventional DC transmission systems that have been built in large quantities, namely, grid voltage-commutated DC transmission systems (LCC-HVDC), the semi-controlled nature of their thyristors leads to inevitable DC commutation failures in LCC-HVDC, which in turn causes transient overvoltages in the AC sending-end grid. This transient overvoltage increases the risk of overvoltage disconnection of renewable energy power sources and may further trigger cascading failures. Therefore, suppressing transient overvoltages in the LCC-HVDC sending-end grid has become a key requirement for ensuring the stable operation of renewable energy DC transmission systems.

[0003] Currently, the measures to suppress transient overvoltages in the LCC-HVDC sending-end power grid are mainly divided into two categories. One is to add reactive compensation equipment to the sending-end power grid. For example, the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems journal published the paper "A Flexible Control Strategy to Prevent Sending-end Power System From Transient Instability Under Hvdc Repetitive Commutation Failures" in Volume 35, Issue 6 in 2020, which proposed a design and control method for energy storage links for transient overvoltages, and suppressed transient overvoltages through active voltage control of the energy storage link; Zhejiang Electric Power Journal published the paper "Comparative Study on Transient Overvoltage Suppression Capability of Grid-Type Energy Storage and Phase-Regulating Phases" in Issue 2 in 2024, which clearly stated the effectiveness of additional grid-type energy storage and additional phase-regulating phases in suppressing transient overvoltages. Another method for suppressing transient overvoltages is to adjust the DC control strategy of LCC-HVDC. For example, the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems journal, Vol. 36, No. 5, 2021, entitled "Reactive Power Control Strategy for Inhibiting Transient Overvoltage Causedby Commutation Failure," proposed an HVDC constant reactive power control strategy that controls the DC voltage and current of the DC transmission system during a fault, thereby increasing the reactive power consumption of the rectifier during the fault and reducing transient overvoltages in the sending-end grid. However, it should be made clear that suppressing transient overvoltages through additional reactive power regulation equipment in the sending-end grid will introduce additional construction and maintenance costs, and the reactive power equipment will have low long-term utilization, resulting in poor overall economic efficiency. Adjusting the LCC-HVDC DC control will affect the dynamic performance of the DC control system, such as fault ride-through capability and DC current recovery capability, while reducing transient overvoltages. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art. The present invention proposes a new energy reactive power control method for transient overvoltage suppression of the DC sending-end power grid. The method estimates the grid voltage change trend through the current and historical grid voltage signals, produces the effect of reactive power advance control, and at the same time, performs delay compensation on the power command signal to offset the reactive power lag generated by the power command calculation, transmission and other processes, ensuring that the advanced reactive power can be used for overvoltage suppression. While achieving transient overvoltage suppression, the algorithm does not require the introduction of additional equipment and will not have additional impact on the DC control system, which is a flexible use of the power regulation capability of the new energy power supply. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0008] Step S4: Using the second-order difference of the voltage amplitude at different times, calculate the third-order difference of the grid voltage amplitude at different times V 3 , the third-order differential component of the equivalent grid voltage amplitude at the current moment is V t 3 , the third-order difference components of the voltage amplitude at the previous moment are recorded as V t-1 3 , V t-2 3,…,V t-n 3 , and so on;

[0009] Step S5: Using the first-order, second-order and third-order differential components of the voltage amplitude at the current time t, that is, V t 1 , V t 2 , V t 3 , calculate the reactive power instruction compensation component ΔQ of the new energy unit at the current time t t * , the reactive power instruction compensation components at the previous moment are recorded as ΔQ t-1 * , ΔQ t-2 * ,…,ΔQ t-n * , and so on;

[0010] Step S6: Using the basic reactive power command value (Q t ,Q t-1, …,Q t-n ), calculate the optimal value Q of reactive power command at different times p_t * , realize the delay compensation of reactive power instruction;

[0011] Step S7: Optimize the reactive power command value Q p_t * and reactive power command compensation component ΔQ t * Add together to get the reactive power instruction Q of the new energy unit t * ,The power instruction is sent to the new energy converter, and the new energy converter completes the power instruction tracking.

[0012] Furthermore, the equivalent grid voltage amplitude at different times in step S1 is obtained by the following formula (1), which plays a smoothing filtering role;

[0013]

[0014] Furthermore, the first-order difference component of the voltage amplitude at different moments in step S2 is obtained by the following formula (2):

[0021]

[0022] Furthermore, the reactive power command optimization value Q at different times t in step S6 is p_t * , is the basic reactive power command value Q at different times t It is calculated by the lead delay compensation, the specific formula is (6), where Q p_1 * and Q p_0 * is the basic reactive power instruction optimization value at the initial moment and the first moment of the algorithm, Q1 and Q0 are the reactive power instruction values ​​at the initial moment and the first moment of the algorithm;

[0029] (3) The control method proposed in this invention has no special requirements for the type, control mode, or signal acquisition method of the renewable energy generator set, including no specific restrictions on voltage signal acquisition, power tracking control mode, or reactive power command issuance method. This algorithm is applicable to a wide range of power electronic device-based power or energy storage devices, such as photovoltaic, wind power, and energy storage, with different control modes, and is adaptable to engineering scenarios.
