Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of equipment evaluation for use with a power supply or a similar power supply system, and in particular relates to a method for evaluating the frequency dynamic support capability of a grid-type converter. Background Art

[0002] With economic development and improved living standards, my country's demand for electricity is increasing. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, the primary sources of electricity, are non-renewable resources and face energy depletion. Furthermore, the combustion of coal and other fossil fuels causes severe ecological damage, incompatible with the concept of sustainable development. To address this issue and build a green power environment, new energy sources, primarily wind and solar, have been developed and utilized on a large scale and are gradually becoming a vital component of the power system. Traditional power systems, dominated by synchronous generators, are transitioning to new power systems based on power electronics.

[0003] Currently, grid-side converters for a large number of renewable energy generators, such as wind and photovoltaic power plants, and energy storage devices in power systems employ grid-following control. These converters often lack active support, inertial response, and frequency control capabilities. As the proportion of renewable energy in the power system continues to rise, grid strength is declining, posing significant challenges to the grid's frequency stability and reliability.

[0004] At the same time, with the large-scale integration of power electronic equipment into the grid, problems such as insufficient grid inertia have become increasingly prominent. The emergence of grid-connected converters offers a new approach to addressing these issues. By simulating the characteristics of synchronous motors, grid-connected converters can act as an equivalent voltage source when connected to the grid, enhancing the grid's inertia and damping characteristics, providing effective frequency support for the power system and thus improving grid stability.

[0005] In engineering, metrics such as maximum frequency change rate and maximum frequency deviation are often used to measure power system frequency security. However, there is a lack of analysis of the frequency support capabilities of equipment, particularly emerging grid-connected converters. Therefore, it is necessary to study frequency support capability evaluation methods for renewable energy grid-connected systems that include grid-connected converters. Based on these evaluation metrics, the control parameters of the grid-connected converters can be adjusted to improve the power system's frequency stability margin, thereby promoting the construction of a more stable, reliable, and sustainable power system.

[0013] Substituting the real-time measured data and the obtained control parameters in step 1 into the frequency dynamic support capability evaluation index of the grid-type converter to obtain the frequency dynamic support capability of the grid-type converter;

[0014] Step 3: Measure multiple parameters in real time through step 1 to obtain the frequency dynamic support capability evaluation index during the entire disturbance process, draw the amplitude characteristic curve of the frequency dynamic support capability evaluation index, and obtain the frequency dynamic support capability of the grid-type converter in the dynamic process after the disturbance occurs by comparing the amplitudes of the amplitude characteristic curve of the frequency dynamic support capability evaluation index; the larger the amplitude of the amplitude characteristic curve, the stronger the frequency dynamic support capability of the grid-type converter; by comparing the amplitude characteristic curve of the change in the value of the active outer loop control parameter of the grid-type converter, the support stage of the active outer loop control parameter of the grid-type converter on the frequency dynamic support capability can be reflected.

The larger the damping coefficient, the stronger the frequency support capability.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

Compared with traditional frequency stability measurement indicators, the present invention effectively solves the problem that most traditional indicators focus on the frequency stability of the entire power system, and can measure the frequency support capability of the grid-type converter during the dynamic interference process. The present invention evaluates the frequency support capability of the grid-type converter by combining the active outer loop control strategy of the grid-type converter. The proposed indicator can reflect the influence of controllable parameters on the frequency support capability of the grid-type converter, and is of great significance in guiding the parameter design of the grid-type converter and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0034] Example:

Figure 4 It is a comparison of frequency dynamic support capacity evaluation indicators under different inertia time constants. Figure 5 This is a comparison of frequency dynamic support capabilities under different inertia time constants. Figure 4 It can be seen that the influence of the inertia time constant of the active outer loop of the grid-type converter on the frequency support capability is mainly reflected in the mid-frequency band, that is, the dynamic development process of the disturbance. When the frequency increases, the mid-frequency As the amplitude increases, the frequency support capability is enhanced.

Figure 6 It is a comparison of frequency dynamic support capacity evaluation indicators under different damping coefficients. Figure 7 This is a comparison of the frequency dynamic support capabilities under different damping coefficients. Figure 6 It can be seen that the influence of the damping coefficient of the active outer loop of the grid-type converter on the frequency support capability is mainly reflected in the medium and low frequency bands, that is, the steady state and dynamic recovery process. The larger the damping coefficient, the stronger the frequency support capability. Figure 7 It can be seen from the simulation results that with the increase of the damping coefficient, the active power output of the grid-type converter increases, and the frequency dynamic support capability of the grid-type converter is enhanced.
