Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of power grid power flow calculation, and specifically to a power flow calculation method for AC-DC power grids with multiple types of power electronic devices based on alternating iterative linearization. Background Technique

[0002] With the continuous expansion of the scale of the power system, the continuous enrichment of the types of power sources and loads, and the continuous complexity of the power grid structure, problems such as unbalanced power flow, line congestion, and voltage over-limit in the system have become increasingly prominent. Due to the characteristics of unrestricted interfaces, fast response speeds, and high conversion efficiencies, power electronic devices have been fully applied in aspects such as new energy grid connection and efficient power transmission. Power electronic devices are mainly applied in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems and flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS). China has included the application of power electronic devices in the key directions of national development and applied them to the grid connection of new energy sources such as wind and light. As of the end of 2023, there are approximately 43 DC transmission lines (including back-to-back) in the country, with a line length of approximately 55,900 kilometers, and 3 DC back-to-back projects. Voltage source converters (VSCs) are widely used in HVDC transmission. It can independently control active power or reactive power and can reverse the current without changing the voltage polarity. In recent years, the research on AC-DC systems based on VSC-HVDC has been increasing. The flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) developed and manufactured based on power electronic technology provides a good technical means to improve the flexibility on the grid side. FACTS includes unified power flow controllers (UPFCs), static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs), static synchronous series compensators (SSSCs), etc., and has multiple functions such as voltage regulation, series compensation, power control, and phase shift. In August 2011, the STATCOM demonstration project at the 500 kV Dongguan substation was completed and put into operation, with a capacity of ±200 Mvar. In 2017, the 500 kV Southern Jiangsu UPFC project was put into operation, and its technology is in the leading position in the field of flexible AC transmission in the world. In December 2018, the STATCOM on the west side of Wujiang substation was completed and put into operation, with a capacity of ±300 Mvar. In December 2018, the world's first SSSC was officially put into operation in Shigezhuang, Tianjin. Since power electronic devices can flexibly control physical quantities in the power system, the adjustment of power electronic devices provides a new option for ensuring the safe operation of the power system.

[0003] Because power electronic devices can flexibly regulate electrical quantities in the power system, new paths are opened up for ensuring the safe operation of the power system by adjusting them. The operation of power electronic devices is complex, and a steady-state model that conforms to their operating characteristics needs to be established. At the same time, due to the addition of power electronic devices, the non-linearity of the system steady-state equations is more significant compared to traditional pure AC systems. This not only increases the difficulty of solving the equations but also prolongs the calculation time. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore methods that can effectively calculate the power flow of power systems containing power electronic devices and improve the calculation efficiency, which will provide a solid foundation for evaluating the operating state of the system and thus provide a basic basis for the optimization and control of the power system.

[0004] However, in the probability modeling and scenario generation of large-scale offshore wind power output, the existing technologies have the following deficiencies:

[0005] (1) For the steady-state power flow calculation of power systems containing power electronic devices, the unified iteration method has good convergence, but there is a problem that as the number of power electronic devices increases, the dimension of the Jacobian matrix increases, and the computational burden of matrix operations increases.

[0006] (2) The alternating iteration method has clear physical meaning and is easy to implement, but there is a problem of low computational efficiency.

[0007] (3) Although some simplified solution methods help to improve the calculation efficiency, their calculation results are always an approximate value, resulting in a certain deviation in the evaluation of the system. Summary of the Invention

[0242] A power flow calculation method for an AC-DC power grid with multiple types of power electronic devices based on alternating iterative linearization, the technical content is the same as any one of Examples 2-11. GUPFC can be replaced by UPFC.

[0243] Example 13:

[0244] A power flow calculation method for an AC-DC power grid with multiple types of power electronic devices based on alternating iterative linearization, the steps are as follows:

[0245] Step S1: Input the basic data of the power system and the control parameters of the power electronic devices, set the initial voltage values of the AC-DC system and the power electronic devices, and start the iterative calculation.

[0246] Step S2: Based on the voltage data of the AC-DC system, construct the unbalanced equations of each module of the power electronic devices, perform linearization on them, and then calculate the power flow.

[0247] Step S3: Based on the voltage data of the AC-DC system and the power electronic devices, calculate the injection power flowing from the power electronic devices into the AC and DC systems.

[0248] Step S4: Based on the injection power flowing from the power electronic devices into the AC and DC systems, construct the unbalanced equations of the AC and DC systems, perform linearization on them, and calculate the power flow distribution.

[0249] Step S5: Determine whether two iterations (the k-th iteration and the (k - 1)-th iteration) satisfy the convergence criterion of the deterministic power flow.

[0250] The characteristics of Step S1 are as follows:

[0251] Input the basic data of the power system and the parameters of the power electronic devices, including the topological structure of the power system, the magnitudes and locations of the sources and loads, the types, quantities, and control parameters of the power electronic devices, etc. Set the initial voltage values of the AC-DC system and the power electronic devices, and start the iterative calculation.

[0252] The characteristics of Step S2 are as follows:

[0253] S21: Basic linearization method

[0254] The equation to be solved is: F(x) = f(x1, x2, x3, …) = 0. F is a multivariate function of x = [x1, x2, x3, …], and x is the state variable, i.e., the bus voltage magnitude V and the phase angle θ.

[0255] The linearization equation of F(x) with respect to φ(x) at φ(x0) can be obtained by retaining the first-order term of its Taylor expansion:

[0256]

[0257] For the linearization variable φ(x), there are three typical forms, and their state variables are as follows:

[0258]

[0259] In Equation (1), The value of can be obtained by the following formula:

[0260]

[0261] According to Equation (3), first calculate and can be determined according to different linearization types in Equation (2) Multiplying the two can conveniently calculate In the following linearization strategy, since the form (V,θ) is simple and has a low computational burden, this form is adopted for calculation.

[0262] It should be noted that linearization is only applied to the nonlinear equations in the Alternating Iterative Method (AIM), without changing its process and convergence criteria. Therefore, it can be proved that the accuracy of using the Alternating Iterative Method based on Linearization (AIML) is consistent with that of AIM. Figure 1 Shows a schematic diagram of three different methods (Unified Iterative Method (UIM), Alternating Iterative Method (AIM), and Alternating Iterative Method based on Linearization (AIML)) for each iteration.

[0263] Figure 1 J in Nx represents the Jacobian matrix (the subscript Nx represents the dimension of the matrix). The larger the Nx of the Jacobian matrix, the greater the computational burden required to solve the unbalanced equation. If the unbalanced equation is solved by inverting the Jacobian matrix J Nx the time complexity of the inverse matrix is Ο(Nx 3 ). The computational complexity of J N is higher than that of the combination of J N1 , J N2 , …, J Nn (N = N1 + N2 + … + Nn), and this becomes more obvious as N increases. As can be seen from Figure 1 when using UIM for each iteration, a Jacobian matrix containing all variables needs to be calculated. For AIM, although the entire system is divided into several modules, in order to meet its convergence criteria, the Jacobian matrix of each module still needs to be calculated repeatedly. Therefore, it is difficult to compare the computational efficiency of AIM and UIM. Although the entire system of AIML is divided into several modules like AIM, each module of AIML only needs to calculate the Jacobian matrix once. Therefore, for each iteration, the computational efficiency ranking of the three methods is obviously: AIML > AIM ≈ UIM.

[0264] S22: Steady-state model of power electronic equipment

[0265] The equivalent circuits of VSC converter stations, GUPFC (or UPFC), STATCOM, and SSSC are as Figure 1 shown. Note that the steady-state model of the VSC converter station considers the losses related to power exchange, while other models, such as GUPFC (or UPFC), SSSC, and STATCOM, ignore these power losses. ConsideringFigure 2 In the positive direction of power, the local regulation and unbalanced equations of power electronic devices are as follows:

[0267] The detailed control parameters of the local regulation of the VSC converter station are given in Table 1.

[0268] Table 1 Control parameters and types of VSC converter station

[0275] For the shunt side, GUPFC (or UPFC) can control the magnitude of the AC bus voltage or the injected reactive power Q refsh . For the series side, GUPFC (or UPFC) can control the power flow of the series branch The unbalanced equation of GUPFC is:

[0276]

[0277] where PEsh = Re(Vsh · Ish * ) and PEse k = Re(Vse k · I *nm,k ), and the superscript "*" is the conjugate of the complex number. In addition, the power loss on the DC side is ignored, i.e., P dc ≈ 0.

[0284]

[0285] where PEste = Re(Vsssc·Isssc * ), and P dc ≈ 0.

[0286] The unbalanced equations of the power electronic devices represented in Eqs. (4)-(7) can be simplified to:

[0287]

[0288] where F VSC = [ΔP c.dc , ΔP f , ΔQ f , ΔQ p T , F GUPFC = [ΔV p / ΔQsh, ΔP nm , ΔQ nm , ΔPEx] T , F STATCOM = [ΔV p / ΔQsh, ΔPEsta] T , F SSSC = [ΔP nm / ΔQ nm , ΔPEsta] T , x VSC , x GUPFC , x STATCOM and x SSSC represent the bus voltages of the power electronic devices, i.e.: and

[0289] S32: The linearization formulas of each power electronic device

[0290] ​In the alternating iteration method, the voltage variables of the AC-DC system are used as the input variables of Equation (8). Therefore, Equation (8) can be generally expressed as:

[0291] f PEDs (V PEDs |V AC / DC ) = 0 (9)

[0292] Therefore, the V obtained in the (k - 1)-th iteration AIM and the V to be solved in the k-th iteration AC / DC satisfy Equation (9), that is: AIM PEDs

[0293]

[0294] Using the method mentioned in S21 to perform Taylor expansion on Equation (10) at the reference point χ0, and retaining the first-order term and ignoring the higher-order terms, the linearized expression can be obtained:

[0295]

[0296] Therefore, in the AIM, the V obtained in the (k - 1)-th iteration AIML and the V to be solved in the k-th iteration AC / DC satisfy: AIML PEDs

[0297]

[0298] Solving Equation (12) can obtain the voltages of each node of the power electronic device.

[0299] The characteristics of step S3 are as follows:

[0307] where Zsh = Gsh + jBsh,

[0308] For the shunt side of GUPFC (or UPFC), at node m k the power flowing to node n k is:

[0309]

[0310] where Zse k = Gse k + jBse k ,

[0311] At node n k the power flowing to node m k is:

[0312]

[0313] (3) STATCOM

[0314] For STATOM, the power flowing into STATCOM at node p is:

[0315]

[0316] where Zsta = Gsta + jBsta,

[0317] (3) SSSC

[0318] For SSSC, the power flowing from node m to node n is:

[0319]

[0320] where Zsssc = Gsssc + jBsssc,

[0321] The power flowing from node n to node m is:

[0322]

[0323] Based on Eqs. (13), (14), (15), (16), (17), (18) and (19), the power injected by the power electronic device into the AC and DC system nodes can be expressed as:

[0324] (P in , Q in ) = h(V PEDs , V AC / DC ) (20)

[0325] where h(·) is the expression of the nodal power injection, and V PEDs and V AC / DC are input variables, and P in and Q in are output variables.

[0326] The features of step S4 are as follows:

[0327] S41: Calculate the AC system nodal imbalance equation

[0328] The power imbalance equation of bus i in the AC system is:

[0329]

[0330] where is the voltage of bus i / j; Y ij is the element in the i-th row and j-th column of the AC system nodal admittance matrix; P i and Q i are the active and reactive power injections on bus i (injections from loads, generators, and power electronic devices), respectively. And equation (21) can be simplified to:

[0331] F AC = f AC (V AC ) = 0 (22)

[0332] where F AC = [ΔP, ΔQ] T , and V AC is the bus voltage of the AC system.

[0333] S42: Calculate the DC system nodal imbalance equation

[0334] The imbalance equation in the DC system is:

[0335] ΔP dci = P Gi - P Li + P c.dc,i - V dc,i ∑ j V dcj Y dc,ij = 0 (23)

[0336] where V dc,i is the voltage of DC bus i; Y dc.ij is the element in the i-th row and j-th column of the DC system nodal conductance matrix; P Gdc,i , P Ldc,i are the active power generation and active load power on DC bus i, respectively. And equation (23) can be simplified to:

[0337] F DC = f DC (V DC ) = 0 (24)

[0338] where F DC = [ΔP dc1 , ΔP dc2 , ΔP dc3 , …] T , and V DC represents the bus voltage of the DC system.

[0339] S43: Linearization formula of AC-DC system

[0340] Based on Eqs. (22) and (24), in AIM, the power mismatch equation of the AC-DC system can be generally expressed as:

[0341] f AC / DC (V AC / DC |P in , Q in ) = 0 (25)

[0342] where f AC / DC is the power mismatch equation of the AC-DC system, where P in and Q in are input variables (known quantities), and V AC / DC is the variable to be solved.

[0343] Therefore, the P AIM and Q in obtained by the k in -th iteration calculation and the V AIM to be solved in the k AC / DC -th iteration satisfy:

[0344]

[0345] Performing Taylor expansion of Eq. (26) at the reference point χ0, retaining the first-order term and ignoring the higher-order terms, the linearization expression can be obtained:

[0346]

[0347] Therefore, in AIML, the P AIML and Q in obtained by the k in -th iteration calculation and the V AIML to be solved in the k PEDs -th iteration satisfy:

[0348]

[0349] Solve Equation (28) to obtain the voltages at each node of the AC-DC system.

[0350] The features of step S5 are as follows:

[0351] Continuously iterate to solve Equations (12), (20), and (28), and determine whether two consecutive iterations (the k-th iteration and the (k - 1)-th iteration) satisfy the convergence criterion of the deterministic power flow:

[0352] max|χ (k) -χ (k-1) |<ε AIML (29)

[0353] where χ represents all state variables in the system, including the bus voltages of the AC-DC system and power electronic devices; the superscript (k) represents the k-th iteration; ε AIML is the convergence coefficient of the deterministic power flow. Usually, ε AIML =10 -6 . If the convergence criterion in Equation (29) is not satisfied, repeat steps S2 to S5; otherwise, calculate other required data and give the calculation results.

[0354] From and the condition that ε AIML is an infinitesimal quantity (ε AIML =10 -6 ), it can be known that (that is: ), at this time the linearized variables approximately approach zero: (that is: ). Then substitute into Equations (12) and (28), and it can be deduced that: and This result is approximately consistent with Equations (10) and (26). Therefore, the calculation results of AIML can approximately satisfy the non-linear equations under the AIM framework.

[0355] Example 14:

[0356] Verification of a power flow calculation method for an AC-DC power grid with multiple types of power electronic devices based on alternating iterative linearization is as follows:

[0357] The present invention designs three test cases to verify the performance of the alternating iterative method based on linearization. Only local regulation of power electronic devices is considered in the test cases. The control parameters of the power electronic devices are given in Table 1. The test case parameters are from MATPOWER. The results of UIM, AIM, and AIML are compared through the test cases, and the calculation time of each method is discussed in detail. The convergence accuracy of these three methods is set to 10 -6 .

[0358] Table 1 Parameters of the numerical example of the present invention

[0359]

[0360]

[0361] All tests were conducted using MATLAB 2023a on a computer with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K CPU @ 3.40 GHz and 32 GB of 6400 MHz DDR5.

[0362] (1) Power flow calculation results

[0363] At the same convergence accuracy, Figure 4 and Figure 5 the results of AIML in [reference] are very close to those of AIM and UIM, which further proves the feasibility and high accuracy of AIML for DPF.

[0364] (2) Comparison of running times of different algorithms

[0365] Table 2 describes the calculation times and iteration numbers of the three methods. Both AIML and AIM can be divided into three modules: the AC module, the DC module, and the power electronic device module. The power electronic device module includes four parts: GUPFC (or (UPFC)), SSSC, STATCOM, and VSC. The iteration numbers of each module for the k-th iteration using AIM are given in Table 3.

[0366] Table 2 Comparison of operation times and iteration numbers of different methods

[0367]

[0368] Table 3 Iteration numbers of each module using AIM

[0369]

[0370] Note: In this table, " / " indicates no relevant data.

[0371] In the numerical examples of this paper, when using AIML, each module is calculated only once in each iteration. Therefore, the number of iterations of each module is equal to the number of iterations of AIML. According to Tables 2 and 3, it can be found that in Numerical Example 1, not only is the number of iterations of AIM less than that of AIML (4 < 9), but the total number of iterations of each module is also less than that of AIML (except for the VSC module). This results in a slightly longer calculation time for AIML than for AIM. In Numerical Example 2, although the number of iterations of AIM and the total number of iterations of each module (except for the AC module) are smaller than those of AIML, the calculation time of AIML is almost the same as that of AIM. The reason is that the calculation cost of the AC module is always larger than that of other modules, and the number of iterations of AIM in the AC module is more than that of AIML. In Numerical Example 3, the test system is more complex, and the number of iterations of AIM and UIM increases accordingly. The number of iterations required by AIM is less than that of AIML (9 < 10), but the total number of iterations of each module in AIM is mostly larger than that of AIML (except for the DC system). This makes the calculation time of AIML shorter than that of AIM. In addition, in these three numerical examples, the calculation time of UIM is always the longest.

[0372] From the analysis results of the three numerical examples, it can be seen that AIML can effectively handle the deterministic power flow problem of AC-DC systems containing power electronic devices. Compared with other deterministic power flow calculation methods, when the number of iterations of AIML is less than or equal to that of AIM, AIML is significantly superior to UIM and AIM in terms of calculation efficiency. Moreover, as the system scale continues to expand, this advantage becomes more prominent, further highlighting the value of AIML in complex system analysis.
