Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power systems and inverter control, and in particular to a frequency-support-based phase-locked loop-free current source inverter control system and method. Background Art
[0002] Large-scale grid integration of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power via power electronic converters will become a key technical feature of the next-generation power system. Consequently, the penetration of power electronic converters in the power grid is rapidly increasing, and they are replacing traditional synchronous generators. However, unlike traditional power systems dominated by synchronous generators, power systems with a high proportion of renewable energy are characterized by intermittent and fluctuating output from renewable energy sources, the control flexibility of power electronic converters, and the fragility of power electronic devices. These differences pose new challenges to the safe and stable operation of the next-generation power system.
[0003] Existing solutions: At present, in actual engineering applications, renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy are usually achieved by adopting grid following ( GFL ) control architecture is integrated into the power system. The grid-following converter obtains the phase information of the grid voltage through a phase-locked loop to achieve synchronization with the grid, and accurately adjusts the active and reactive power through vector current control. In terms of voltage and current output characteristics, the grid-following converter can be equivalent to a controlled current source. However, as more and more renewable energy is integrated into the grid through converters, the proportion of synchronous generators decreases, and the stable operation of the grid-following converter faces challenges, resulting in insufficient support capacity under weak grids. In order to solve this problem, the grid-building converter control ( GFM Various researchers have proposed various control structures for grid-type converters. These methods can independently build the AC output voltage and provide voltage support to the grid without relying on the external grid. Although grid-type converters are playing an increasingly important role in power systems with high levels of renewable energy integration and widespread use of power electronics, they still face numerous challenges, such as limited overcurrent capability and reduced stability in the face of strong grid conditions.
[0004] To simultaneously overcome the synchronization and stability issues faced by both grid-following and grid-forming converters, some researchers have proposed direct power control methods, which bypass the current inner loop and directly control the converter's output active and reactive power. However, due to voltage noise and distortion, the use of a bandpass filter is unavoidable in direct power control, leading to the same stability issues as using a phase-locked loop (PLL). Subsequently, other researchers proposed a PLL-free power synchronization control scheme. Results showed that, since it does not require voltage acquisition at the point of common coupling, it can operate stably in both strong and weak grids. While effective, this approach suffers from complex controller design and is unable to cope with grid frequency fluctuations. Any frequency deviation will introduce steady-state errors, resulting in unstable converter operation. Furthermore, researchers have proposed a general control strategy that combines power synchronization and PLL schemes to leverage their respective advantages. However, this structure still requires a PLL for synchronization.
[0005] Therefore, the existing solutions still have the following problems that need to be solved urgently:
[0006] (1) Under weak grid conditions, the phase-locked loop is susceptible to grid fluctuations, which may cause phase shift or unstable locking. Therefore, it is difficult to balance locking speed and anti-interference ability to ensure stable operation under various grid conditions.
[0007] (2) In a weak grid environment, the grid-following converter has limited ability to provide reactive power support and voltage regulation. A stronger grid support control strategy is needed to ensure stable operation during grid disturbances.
[0008] (3) When the grid voltage fluctuates or there is a short-term fault, the stable operation and rapid recovery of the inverter remain challenges.
[0009] (4) In a strong power grid environment, the grid-type converter faces the risk of fault surge current, and there is a contradiction between overcurrent protection and dynamic performance. Excessive current limiting will reduce the system response capability, while too loose current limiting may damage the device. Summary of the Invention

This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0167] S 6. Control the three-phase voltage Compare with the module's internal reference level to get the duty cycle and generate PWM signal to drive the inverter to operate.
[0168] This embodiment achieves synchronization with the power grid through active power-frequency feedback, does not need to rely on a phase-locked loop, can provide inertia and frequency support when the power grid frequency deviates, and is applicable to both strong and weak power grids.
[0169] This embodiment is essentially still a grid-following control, thus avoiding damage to the system caused by transient surge currents under grid faults.
[0170] This embodiment adopts an improved current control strategy to effectively compensate for the impact of line impedance changes on current control. The converter can maintain stable operation under different line impedance conditions, ensuring grid connection quality and system reliability.
[0171] Based on MATLAB / Simulink Real-time simulation results and analysis
[0172] In order to verify the proposed control method, this embodiment gives three MATLAB / Simulink The effectiveness of the proposed control is discussed in the following example. The implementation example consists of a DC source, an inverter, a filter inductor, L f , line impedance, grid composition, voltage level is 380 V , power level is 10 kW Cases 1, 2, and 3 test the performance of the proposed control scheme under conditions of grid frequency drops, varying grid strengths, and varying line impedances. The system parameters used in the simulations are shown in Table 1, and the control parameters are shown in Table 2.
[0173]
[0174]
[0175] Case 1: Grid frequency drop test
[0176] Figure 4 The frequency support capability of the proposed control strategy for the power grid is verified. Figure 4 In ( a ), when the grid frequency drops in the second second, the system will output active power from 10 kW Increased to 16.3 kW , injecting active power into the grid to support grid operation. When the grid frequency recovers to 50 in the 6th second Hz When the system output active power also returns to the given value and returns to normal operation mode. During this period, the reactive power is not affected. Figure 4 ( b ) as shown. Figure 4 ( c ) respectively give the voltage across the converter and the output current d Axis and q This implementation demonstrates that the proposed control can provide certain frequency support for the power grid and improve the robustness of the system.
[0177] Case 2: Adaptability test under different grid strengths
[0178] Figure 5The adaptability of the proposed control strategy under different grid strengths is verified. Grid strength is generally measured by short circuit ratio ( SCR ) is divided into very weak ( SCR ≤2), weak (2< SCR <3) and strong ( SCRbb 0 3). SCR It can be expressed as:
[0179]
[0180] In this implementation case, the output power is set to be constant, and the line inductance is changed to change different SCR Value. Figure 5 As shown, the system implementing this solution starts with a weak grid ( SCR =2.3) under the condition of output active power 10 kW , reactive power 5 kVar , the system works normally. SCR At the third second, the frequency rises to 4.6, resulting in a brief surge in system frequency and power, but ultimately returning to rated operation. At the seventh second, the line impedance is further reduced, and the grid transitions from weak to strong, but the proposed control scheme maintains system output unchanged. This implementation demonstrates the system's adaptability to various grid strengths.
[0181] Case 3: Adaptability test under complex line impedance conditions
[0182] Figure 6 The adaptability of the proposed control strategy in complex line impedance conditions is verified. In this implementation case, the system line impedance is verified from pure induction ( XL =3.14 j Ω) to resistance and inductance ( XL =2.5+1.57 j Ω), then purely resistive ( XL =5Ω). The results show that under the proposed control strategy, the system can maintain stable frequency and output power. This demonstrates that the solution can adapt to different line impedance characteristics.
[0183] From the above three cases, it can be seen that the control method of this embodiment can be applied to different grid conditions. Unlike the traditional grid-following and grid-forming inverter control, this method directly constructs the amplitude and frequency of the inverter output current through the active frequency control module and the reactive current control module, and then controls the output current of the inverter through the current control loop module. This solution adopts a three-layer nested control architecture, which does not need to rely on the phase-locked loop to provide the grid phase angle, and also avoids the current shock during faults. Therefore, this solution is not only applicable to strong and weak grids, but also to different line impedance conditions.
[0184] The control method of this embodiment is different from the conventional PLL The grid-connected control is compared from four dimensions: synchronization mode, grid-connected stability, frequency response capability, and reactive power control, as shown in Table 3:
[0185]
[0186] This control method combines the advantages of both grid-following and grid-forming converter control. It employs a simplified control strategy, avoids the limitations of phase-locked loops, and adapts to complex operating conditions, including strong and weak grids and varying line impedances. Furthermore, this solution directly controls the output current, effectively reducing the risk of current surges and providing inertia and frequency support for the grid, improving system stability.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
