Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system technology, and in particular relates to a power grid impedance simulation device, its design method, and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] With the vigorous promotion of clean energy globally, new energy sources such as wind power and solar power are increasingly being used in power systems. The large-scale integration of new energy sources has significantly changed the structure and characteristics of power systems, gradually transforming the power grid from a traditional system dominated by synchronous machines to a "dual-high" power system characterized by a high proportion of new energy and high levels of power electronics. During this transformation, the system short-circuit ratio is gradually decreasing, and the characteristics of a weak power grid are becoming increasingly apparent, posing a severe challenge to the stable operation of the power system.
[0003] To ensure the stable operation of high-voltage and high-efficiency power systems, it is crucial to test the adaptability of renewable energy converters under low short-circuit ratio, variable short-circuit ratio, and variable series compensation conditions. However, current experimental testing methods have significant drawbacks. Existing testing methods require shutdown and rearrangement of grid impedance after completing one set of short-circuit ratio tests before another set of short-circuit ratio tests can be performed. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also fundamentally unable to simulate real-time changes or abrupt changes in the grid short-circuit ratio, severely impacting testing efficiency and the accuracy of simulating actual grid operation.
[0004] Although existing invention patents have proposed online switching grid impedance simulation devices, these devices still have many problems in practical applications. Firstly, existing devices only consider grid impedance composed of inductors. However, in actual testing, the real grid impedance provided by power grid companies is often composed of resistors (R), inductors (L), and capacitors (C). This means that existing devices cannot simulate changes in LC series complement and the characteristics of RLC grid impedance, resulting in significant deviations between test results and actual grid operation. Secondly, existing technologies only provide switchable grid impedance combinations, focusing on variable or switchable inductance, but completely neglecting to provide selection or calculation methods for the components of the simulation device. In field testing, the focus is more on simulating specific grid short-circuit ratios, such as the typical short-circuit ratios required by grid connection permits or national standards (SCR=1.8, 2.5, 4, 10), rather than pursuing a large number of impedance combinations in the device. If the parameters of the grid short-circuit ratio simulation device are not selected reasonably during the design phase, then multiple impedance simulators and other external RLCs will need to be connected in series and parallel during actual testing to achieve the required grid short-circuit ratio. This will undoubtedly lead to a significant increase in testing costs and a more time-consuming testing process, severely hindering the efficient implementation of testing work for new energy converters.
[0005] In summary, existing technologies have significant shortcomings in simulating grid series compensation and short-circuit ratio, and cannot meet the requirements for adaptability testing of new energy converters under "high-voltage and high-efficiency" power systems. Summary of the Invention

[0042] Step 3: With the converter connected to the grid and started, according to the simulated operating conditions required by the test target, query the correspondence table between the simulated operating conditions and the switch combination, obtain the switch combination status corresponding to the required simulated operating conditions, and then use the host computer to switch the power grid operating conditions according to the corresponding switch combination status.
[0043] Step 4: The controller determines whether it has received a power grid operating condition switching command; if yes, proceed to step 5; if no, proceed directly to step 6.
[0044] Step 5: The controller controls the corresponding contactor to open or close and adjusts the automatic sliding rheostat according to the received power grid operating condition switching command, thereby completing the switching of the simulated operating conditions required for the test target.

[0054] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0055] I. Solve the inefficiency of existing testing methods that require downtime to change operating conditions, and achieve dynamic real-time switching.
[0056] Switching between short-circuit ratio and series compensation conditions without system downtime: This invention uses a controller to control the on / off state of the contactor and automatically adjusts the slide wire rheostat, enabling online switching between different short-circuit ratios and series compensation conditions. For example, through preset contactor switch coding and delay logic, the controller can automatically complete impedance switching upon receiving a command, avoiding downtime and significantly improving testing efficiency.
[0057] Dynamic simulation of sudden changes in power grid parameters: This invention can achieve rapid switching of operating conditions (such as 1-2s delay switching) through a switch logic control program, which can reproduce the operating conditions of sudden changes in short-circuit ratio in the actual power grid, making the test closer to the real operating scenario.
[0058] II. Simulating operating conditions that take into account both RLC impedance characteristics and series compensation degree to improve test accuracy
[0059] Complete Simulation of RLC Impedance Characteristics in Actual Power Grids: This invention accurately simulates RLC series or parallel impedance through a combination of automatic slide wire rheostats, inductors, and capacitors. For example, by utilizing the series and parallel connection of capacitors and inductors, the variation in series complement is simulated, overcoming the limitation of existing technologies in simulating LC series complement, and making the test results closer to the actual operation of the power grid.
[0060] Covering typical short-circuit ratio and series compensation conditions required by national standards: Based on the national standard requirements for converter testing (e.g., SCR=1.8, 2.5, 4, 10), and combined with RLC parameter calculation methods, this invention can accurately reproduce the grid weakness (short-circuit ratio) and compensation level (series compensation). For example, different short-circuit ratios are achieved through the series-parallel combination of three sets of inductors, and different series compensations are achieved through the series-parallel combination of two capacitors, avoiding test deviations caused by unreasonable parameter selection in existing technologies.
[0061] III. Optimize component parameter selection to reduce testing costs and complexity.
[0062] A parameter calculation method based on the principle of minimum component count: Compared to existing devices that lack a parameter selection method, leading to the need for multiple impedance simulators and high costs, this invention proposes a scientific parameter calculation logic: For inductor selection, a single inductor group achieves an SCR of 2.4; two inductor groups connected in series and parallel achieve SCRs of 1.8 and 10; adding another inductor in parallel achieves an SCR of 4, covering four short-circuit ratio conditions with only three inductor groups; for capacitor selection, two capacitor groups connected in series and parallel achieve three TCR states: 10%, 40%, and 60%, satisfying the series compensation requirement with only two capacitor groups; for resistor selection, a single automatic slide wire rheostat (R=0~40Ω) is used to adjust the resistance component. This method achieves multi-condition simulation with a minimum number of components, avoiding the investment in multiple sets of equipment and significantly reducing testing costs.
[0063] Avoiding the cumbersome operation of connecting external RLC components in series and parallel: Compared to existing technologies that require additional external RLC components to meet testing requirements due to unreasonable parameter selection, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, this invention enables the device itself to generate the required impedance through precise parameter calculation, eliminating the need for external components and simplifying the testing process.
[0064] IV. Automated control and logic design to improve ease of operation and safety.
[0065] Automated switching is achieved through contactor coding and delay logic: This invention avoids momentary short circuits during switching by using contactor switch coding and delay logic, thus improving device reliability. For example, when switching operating conditions, the controller first executes a closing command, and then executes a closing command after the circuit stabilizes, preventing damage to components.
[0066] Host computer communication and one-click operating condition switching: In operation, commands are sent via a host computer, and the controller automatically matches the switch code and executes the switching without manual intervention. For example, testers only need to query the "Simulated Operating Conditions - Switch Combination Table" and send commands via the host computer; the device can then automatically complete impedance reconstruction, reducing operational complexity and minimizing human error.
[0067] V. Standardized design adapts to national standard testing requirements and has strong scalability.
[0068] The design method of this invention is based on the national standard for testing typical short-circuit ratio conditions of converters, and the parameter calculation process can be flexibly adjusted according to actual power grid needs. For example, if a new operating condition is required, only a few components need to be added or the switch code needs to be modified based on the existing topology, without the need to redesign the hardware. Its adaptability and scalability are superior to those of fixed devices in the prior art. Attached Figure Description

[0072] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the invention clearer, the technical solution of the invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the invention, but not all embodiments.
[0073] Therefore, the following detailed description of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.
[0074] Example 1
[0075] This embodiment discloses a power grid impedance simulation device, its design method, and its usage method. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the design method is to obtain the power grid impedance simulation device by sequentially performing component parameter calculation and selection, device hardware connection topology, and setting switch logic control program.
[0076] Component parameter calculation and selection: Based on the simulation test requirements corresponding to the short-circuit ratio and series compensation degree, determine the required component types; based on the short-circuit ratio requirements of the actual national standard for converter testing, combine the principle of using the minimum number of components to obtain the quantity of each component and the values of electrical parameters.
[0077] The short-circuit ratio (SCR) is essentially the ratio of the short-circuit capacity of the AC bus of the power grid to the rated capacity of the connected converters. Its mathematical expression is: ( For short-circuit capacity, (This refers to the rated capacity of the converter). When the grid impedance increases, the short-circuit capacity decreases, the SCR value decreases, and the system stability will decline accordingly. The series compensation ratio (TCR) is the ratio of the series capacitor compensation capacity to the line transmission capacity, expressed as: ( For capacitor reactance, (For inductive reactance). Based on this, this technical solution accurately selects components that can simulate the impedance characteristics of the power grid according to the electrical characteristics of the short-circuit ratio and series compensation degree.
[0078] An automatic slide wire rheostat continuously adjusts its resistance by changing the length of the resistance wire connected to the circuit. Its principle is based on Ohm's law, i.e. ( Resistivity The length of the resistance wire. (This refers to the cross-sectional area) thus enabling fine adjustment of the circuit impedance. Inductive components, based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, generate inductive reactance in the circuit. ( Indicates frequency, This represents the inductance value, used to simulate the inductive impedance of the power grid. Capacitive components, based on their capacitance characteristics, generate capacitive reactance. ( (This refers to the capacitance value), which partially cancels out the inductive impedance in the simulation of the corresponding operating conditions. The contactor uses an electromagnetic mechanism to control the opening and closing of the contacts. Its principle is that the electromagnetic coil is energized to generate a magnetic field, which attracts the armature and drives the contacts to move, thereby realizing the switching of the circuit.
[0079] In summary, based on the simulation test requirements of the power grid short-circuit ratio and series compensation degree, this technical solution determines the required component types, including automatic slide wire rheostats, inductors, capacitors, and contactors.
[0080] The actual national standard for converter testing requires short-circuit ratio conditions based on typical scenarios categorized by the actual weaknesses of the power grid, following... ( Rated voltage, The calculation logic for the equivalent impedance of the power grid is as follows. Selection is based on the minimum number of components criterion, utilizing the principles of circuit equivalent transformation (such as star-delta transformation and impedance series-parallel formulas) to meet the requirements. ( For error impedance, Optimize the component combination to achieve the target impedance accuracy.
[0081] Device hardware connection topology: Selected components are connected as needed. A controller is used to control the on / off state of the contactors and the adjustment of the automatic slide wire rheostat. The automatic slide wire rheostat, in combination with different inductors, simulates the operating conditions corresponding to different short-circuit ratios. Different capacitor combinations simulate the operating conditions corresponding to different series compensation degrees. The switching between different contactors is achieved by coordinating their opening and closing to switch between operating conditions corresponding to different short-circuit ratios, operating conditions corresponding to different series compensation degrees, and operating conditions corresponding to both short-circuit ratios and series compensation degrees.
[0082] The controller can be a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), controlling the contactor coil voltage via a digital output port (DO), and constructing different impedance circuits by opening and closing the contactor's main contacts. The automatic slide wire rheostat can be driven by a servo motor to move the slider; the number of servo motor pulses and the resistance value follow a specific relationship. ( For the maximum resistance, pulse number The linear relationship between the total number of pulses and the controller's PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal enables continuous adjustment. The capacitors and inductors employ a modular parallel structure, with combinations of capacitor and inductor values achieved through contactor switches to simulate operating conditions with varying short-circuit ratios and series compensation degrees.
[0083] Configure the switching logic control program: Configure the switching logic control program in the controller so that when the controller receives the power grid operating condition switching command, it can realize the switching between different short-circuit ratio corresponding operating conditions, different series complement degree corresponding operating conditions, and the switching between the short-circuit ratio corresponding operating condition and the series complement degree corresponding operating condition by executing the pre-set switching logic control program.
[0084] The switching logic control program can be designed based on a state machine model, defining state nodes such as initial state, standby state, switching state, and running state. State transition conditions include command reception, component state feedback (such as DI input of contactor auxiliary contacts), and time delay (such as stabilization after a preset time interval following switching). Furthermore, the logic can be written using ladder diagrams or ST (structured text) language. The core algorithm is as follows: when a working condition switching command (including target SCR and TCR values) is received, the switching logic control program calculates the required component combination using a lookup table method, generates a contactor action sequence, and prevents short circuits through hardware interlocking logic (two contactors on the same branch cannot close simultaneously).
[0085] Based on the above design method, a power grid impedance simulation device is obtained. The device is then applied in practice, i.e., a method for using the power grid impedance simulation device is described below. Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0086] Step 1, as follows Figure 1 As shown, the input terminal of the power grid impedance simulation device is connected to the converter under test, and the output terminal of the simulation test device is connected to the power grid. A mapping table between simulated operating conditions and switch combination states is set up. A mapping relationship between physical connections and electrical parameters is established to ensure that the device can accurately sense the converter's operating status and output simulated power grid impedance. The pre-made mapping table enables rapid recall of operating conditions, greatly reducing manual configuration time and improving testing efficiency.
[0087] The table showing the correspondence between simulated operating conditions and switch combination states is as follows: Table 1 below shows the mapping table between simulated operating conditions and contactor switch codes.
[0088]
[0089] Step two involves communicating with the host computer via Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 standard) or RS485 (Modbus-RTU protocol), following the communication protocol DL / T634.5104-2009, to achieve command transmission and data interaction. The power grid impedance simulation device is then started and initialized. The initialization process may include: ① Contactor status verification (reading the auxiliary contact status through the DI port to ensure all contactors are in the preset state); ② Component parameter self-test (such as rheostat initial position detection and capacitor withstand voltage test); ③ Controller register clearing (such as PID control parameter reset), following the PLC's scan cycle mechanism to ensure synchronization of module states.
[0090] Step three: With the converter connected to and started by the grid, based on the simulated operating conditions required for the test target (corresponding to the grid's weakness and compensation level), consult the correspondence table between simulated operating conditions and switch combinations to obtain the corresponding switch combination status. Then, use the host computer to send a switching command to the power grid operating conditions according to the corresponding switch combination status. The purpose is to enable the grid impedance simulation device to reproduce typical operating conditions of the actual power grid, providing standardized grid conditions for converter testing. Precise control of operating conditions is achieved through digital command transmission, avoiding errors caused by manual adjustment of component parameters.
[0091] Step 4: The controller uses a scanning cycle mechanism (e.g., scanning the DO port once every 10ms) to detect the command reception status and determine whether a power grid operating condition switching command has been received; if yes, proceed to step 5; if no, proceed directly to step 6.
[0092] Step 5: Based on the received power grid operating condition switching command, the controller controls the corresponding contactor to open or close, and adjusts the automatic sliding rheostat, thereby completing the switching of the simulated operating conditions required for the test target.
[0093] Step 6: Determine whether the current testing work is complete based on the testing requirements; if yes, proceed to Step 7; otherwise, return to Step 3.
[0094] Step 7: The converter stops, the corresponding contactor is reset, and the grid impedance simulation device returns to the initialization state.

As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, based on embodiment 1, a high-power automatic slide wire rheostat is selected, with a quantity of 1, denoted by R. Only the upper limit of the resistance value needs to be designed. Considering that the equivalent resistance of most power grids in actual tests is within 8-22Ω, in order to ensure design redundancy, the resistance value range of the automatic slide wire rheostat is [0, 40]Ω.
[0097] Example 3
[0098] This embodiment discloses a power grid impedance simulation device, its design method, and its usage method. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the specific details of obtaining the number of inductors and the values of electrical parameters in the component parameter calculation and selection are as follows:
[0099] Obtain the national standard grid connection criteria for converters regarding the test requirements for the grid short-circuit ratio, i.e., the short-circuit ratio... Four typical operating conditions (SCR) of 1.8, 2.5, 4, and 10 were tested. Based on the national standard for wind power converter grid connection requirements for SCRs of 1.8, 2.5, 4, and 10, the grid inductance value was derived by substituting these values into the grid impedance calculation formula. Furthermore, the grid inductance value was derived based on the inductance configuration principle derived from the mapping relationship between electromagnetic induction and SCR. Calculation formula The inductance value of the power grid The calculation formula is through Obtained through conversion. Wherein: Indicates the short-circuit ratio; Indicates the short-circuit ratio condition, i.e. ; Indicates the mains voltage; Indicates the grid-connected capacity of new energy sources; The reference value for the power grid impedance is denoted as . ; For inductive impedance, we have , Indicates frequency.
[0100] To simulate the four operating conditions, at least two sets of inductor units are required in series and parallel. This technical solution prioritizes economic efficiency, aiming to simulate four typical operating conditions with SCRs of 1.8, 2.5, 4, and 10 using the fewest possible inductors. Specifically, it pre-determines that two sets of inductors are used to form the grid impedance, with each set being an inductor... and inductor .inductance and inductor When connected in series, the mains impedance is at its maximum, and the short-circuit ratio is 1.8; inductance and inductor When connected in parallel, the grid impedance is at its minimum, and the short-circuit ratio is 10.
