Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electric power technology, and in particular to a control device for accessing a distributed photovoltaic power station to a distribution network. Background Art

[0002] As the global demand for renewable energy continues to grow, solar energy, as a clean and sustainable form of energy, is increasingly accounting for an increasing share of electricity supply. Distributed photovoltaic power stations have gradually become an important part of promoting energy transformation in many countries and regions due to their flexible deployment and efficient utilization. However, the large-scale access of distributed photovoltaic power stations has brought new challenges and opportunities to traditional distribution networks.

[0003] At present, there are still the following deficiencies in the application of distributed photovoltaic power stations connected to the distribution network: 1. When the main grid is out of power, if the distributed photovoltaic power station continues to supply power to the local grid, an "island" phenomenon may occur. The island phenomenon may not only cause safety risks to maintenance personnel, but also affect the normal operation of grid equipment. Nowadays, the lack of a key technology that can effectively detect and prevent the island phenomenon is the key to the access of distributed photovoltaic power stations to the distribution network; 2. Accurately predicting photovoltaic power generation is crucial for optimizing grid dispatch and improving energy utilization. Since photovoltaic power generation is affected by multiple factors such as light intensity and temperature, its changing trend is difficult to accurately grasp. Traditional power prediction methods often have a large error range and cannot meet the needs of modern distribution networks for high-precision prediction. In addition, how to dynamically adjust the output power of photovoltaic power stations based on prediction results to adapt to changes in grid load is also an urgent problem to be solved; 3. In order to effectively monitor and manage distributed photovoltaic power stations, it is necessary to collect electrical parameters (such as voltage, current, power, etc.) and meteorological data of each node in real time and transmit them to the central control system for analysis and processing. The existing data collection and transmission technology still has deficiencies in data accuracy, transmission efficiency and security, which limits the overall performance of the system; Therefore, there is an urgent need for a distributed photovoltaic power station access distribution network control device that can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings.

[0016] Embodiment,Assume that we have a 33-node distribution network system, all photovoltaic power stations adopt constant power factor control, and the minimum power factor allowed is 0.9. For each season (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), we select a typical day output scenario of a photovoltaic power station. For example, in a typical day scenario in winter, the photovoltaic output is low, which easily causes the voltage of each node in the distribution network to be too low.
