Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of power system voltage stability, and in particular to a method for configuring reactive power compensation capacitors for improving voltage stability of a new energy grid-connected system. Background Art
[0002] For centralized renewable energy, most of its bases are located at the end of the grid, resulting in a relatively weak grid structure and exhibiting weak grid characteristics. To improve the voltage performance of the renewable energy grid-connected system, reactive power compensation capacitors are usually installed to increase the voltage support capacity of the grid-connected system.
[0003] Using parallel reactive power compensation capacitors can directly and quickly provide the reactive power required by the system and support the AC bus voltage. Currently, this method has been adopted in power systems worldwide. This patent proposes a reactive power compensation capacitor configuration method to improve the voltage stability of renewable energy grid-connected systems. A single-machine infinite system model including reactive power compensation capacitors is established. This model can conveniently solve the voltage, maximum active output, and system equivalent impedance of renewable energy grid-connected power systems after the reactive power compensation capacitors are installed. It also calculates the location-dependent short-circuit ratio and critical short-circuit ratio indicators in renewable energy grid-connected power systems that consider reactive power compensation capacitors. Unlike existing calculation methods for measuring the AC system's ability to accommodate high-voltage direct current transmission systems based on grid-commutated converters, the proposed method is based on a single-machine single-feed model including reactive power compensation capacitors. This method considers the supporting effect of reactive power compensation capacitors on the grid-connected point voltage and their impact on the system equivalent impedance. It can calculate the short-circuit ratio and critical short-circuit ratio indicators applicable to renewable energy grid-connected systems containing reactive power compensation capacitors, thereby characterizing the voltage support strength of renewable energy grid-connected systems. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the voltage and power expressions for this new energy grid-connected model, which takes reactive power compensation capacitors into account, are derived, and a method for configuring reactive power compensation capacitors in a new energy grid-connected system is proposed.

All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific analysis process is as follows:
[0018] Figure 1 The flow chart of the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0019] Step 1: Establish a single-machine infinite system model including reactive compensation capacitors;
[0020] For centralized renewable energy, most of its renewable energy bases are located at the end of the grid, and the grid structure is relatively weak, showing weak grid characteristics. In order to improve the voltage performance of the renewable energy grid-connected system, reactive power compensation capacitors are usually installed to improve the voltage support capacity of the grid-connected system. A single-machine infinite system model including reactive power compensation capacitors is established, including the AC large system, the renewable energy single-machine model, and the reactive power compensation capacitors at the renewable energy outlet. The simplified model is as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0021] Step 2: Based on the established mathematical model and Kirchhoff's current law:
[0022]
[0023] In the formula is the current transmitted on the line, is the current passing through the reactive compensation capacitor.
[0024] Further get the power voltage equation
[0025] (1-2BX+B 2 Z 2 )U '4 -U '2 [E 2 +2(PR+QX-QBZ 2 )]+(P 2 +Q 2 )Z 2 =0 (2) According to the above station power voltage equation, the following voltage expression is solved:
[0026]
[0027] Let the discriminant of the quadratic equation be equal to zero and solve to obtain the maximum transmission power P max for:
[0028]
[0029] At this time, the critical voltage Uc is
[0030]
[0031] The system equivalent impedance of the parallel reactive capacitor is obtained by connecting the susceptance of the reactive compensation capacitor in parallel with the system Thevenin equivalent impedance:
[0032]
[0033] Step 3: In the steady-state operation of a high-proportion renewable energy power system, the short-circuit ratio and critical short-circuit ratio related to the station location are important indicators of voltage stability. The short-circuit ratio level before the reactive compensation capacitor is put into use is calculated according to the following formula:
[0034]
[0035] In the formula It is the operating voltage of the new energy grid. is the system's equivalent Thevenin impedance, P RE Make actual active contributions to new energy stations.
[0036] As the output of renewable energy stations continues to increase, the system's operating point transitions from the upper half of the PV curve to the lower half. At the nose point, the system reaches a critical stable state and the static voltage stability limit of the system. The critical short-circuit ratio can be calculated based on the maximum active output of renewable energy and the corresponding critical voltage at this time:
[0037]
[0038] Step 4. Use the lowest point of the short-circuit ratio index as the installation location for the reactive compensation capacitor. Substitute the voltage after the reactive compensation capacitor is installed in step 2, the new system equivalent impedance, and the actual active output of the new energy station into the short-circuit ratio calculation related to the station location to evaluate the improvement effect of installing the reactive compensation capacitor on the short-circuit ratio index.
[0039] Application Examples
[0040] Taking a 10-machine 39-node system as an example, the method of the present invention is demonstrated:
[0041] The position-related short-circuit ratio indicators of the system's new energy nodes before and after reactive power compensation are shown in the following table:

[0044] In this example, the new energy stations are 33, 34, 35, 36, and 38. When reactive compensation capacitors are installed at each grid-connected node, the relevant short-circuit ratios before and after compensation are obtained by calculation, and the effect of installing reactive compensation capacitors on improving the short-circuit ratio index is evaluated.
