Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of anti-backflow technology, and more specifically to an anti-backflow control system based on net zero control. Background Technology
[0002] As the penetration rate of new energy power plants increases, the volatility of their power generation and the randomness of load power consumption can easily lead to power imbalance in the power grid. When the power generation of the power plant exceeds the local load demand, the excess power will be fed back into the power grid, which may cause voltage fluctuations, frequency deviations, and even affect the stability of the relay protection system. Therefore, a reverse current control system based on net zero control is needed.
[0003] Existing technology, such as the invention application patent with publication number CN110266052A, discloses a fast frequency regulation device and method applicable to photovoltaic power plants. This device is equipped with: an analog signal acquisition unit for acquiring real-time voltage and current at the grid connection point; a frequency and power response control unit for calculating the real-time frequency and power of the power grid based on the acquired real-time voltage and current; and a frequency control management unit for controlling and adjusting the active power of each inverter in operation within the photovoltaic power plant based on the real-time frequency and power of the power grid, thereby achieving fast frequency regulation of the power grid. This invention, based on the existing equipment in a photovoltaic power plant, achieves fast frequency regulation of the power grid by adding a frequency control management unit and increasing or decreasing the active power of the adjustable inverters in operation. Because the inverter response time is very short and the adjustment is rapid, this invention has strong practicality.
[0004] Regarding the above solutions, the inventors of this application have discovered at least the following technical problems with the above technologies: 1. Traditional anti-backflow systems mostly rely on a single communication solution: When using only RS485 wired communication, in scenarios where wiring is difficult, such as distributed photovoltaic rooftops and large ground power stations, hundreds of meters of additional cable need to be laid, which not only increases the installation cost by more than 50%, but also leads to an annual failure rate of more than 15% due to the large number of cable joints and susceptibility to corrosion; when using a simple wireless solution, in environments with strong electromagnetic interference, such as industrial plants and substations, the high-frequency noise interference generated by motors and transformers often results in a communication packet loss rate of more than 10%, and in extreme cases, even a continuous 30-second data interruption, causing the anti-backflow control to fail; moreover, a single communication method cannot cover diverse scenarios—for distributed power stations, simple wireless signals attenuate severely, resulting in insufficient coverage; wired communication leads to a surge in maintenance difficulty due to cable tangling, and cannot meet the stability requirements of different scenarios.
[0005] 2. Traditional systems employ a crude strategy of "average distribution of regulation" without considering the differences in inverter rated power. For example, a power station contains one 5kW low-power inverter and one 50kW high-power inverter. When the total power to be regulated is 30kW, average distribution will cause the low-power inverter to output 15kW, triggering overload protection shutdown, while the high-power inverter will only output 15kW, resulting in a large amount of regulation redundancy. More importantly, when inverters are added or removed from the power station, the traditional system does not update the total rated power in real time, and the regulation ratio still uses the old parameters, resulting in a regulation deviation of more than 20%, which in turn causes the grid voltage fluctuation to reach ±8%, affecting the lifespan of surrounding electrical equipment.
[0006] 3. Traditional solutions typically have sampling periods exceeding 500ms. In scenarios where cloud cover causes a sudden 20% drop in photovoltaic output within one second, or where loads are suddenly switched on or off, they cannot capture power fluctuations in a timely manner. Adjustment delays often exceed one second; when reverse current power reaches 10% of rated power, it takes more than 1.5 seconds to begin adjustment, resulting in reverse current duration exceeding two seconds, potentially triggering malfunctions in grid relay protection. Furthermore, there is a lack of adjustment effect verification mechanisms—for example, if an inverter fails to execute adjustment commands due to a fault, the traditional system cannot detect this, leading to a total adjustment deviation exceeding 30%, still posing a reverse current risk. This lack of a closed-loop mechanism—"sampling lag - adjustment delay - no verification"—means that reverse current power control accuracy can only be maintained at around ±10% of rated power, far from meeting the stringent ±2% accuracy requirements of the grid under high renewable energy penetration, easily causing grid frequency deviation and threatening the safe and stable operation of the grid. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-backflow control system based on net zero control.
[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides an anti-reverse current control system based on net zero control, including: a communication connection establishment module: used to deploy NZC adapted to multiple scenarios in the target power station, analyze the corresponding adaptive communication method of the target power station by acquiring the communication environment data of the target power station, and establish a bidirectional communication link between the NZC of the target power station and each inverter.
[0009] Grid Data Monitoring and Transmission Module: Used to acquire grid power data corresponding to each inverter in the target power station in real time through NZC, evaluate whether the grid power change corresponding to each inverter in the target power station needs to be fed back, and if the grid power change corresponding to a certain inverter in the target power station needs to be fed back, then the power data of that inverter in the target power station will be transmitted to the grid of that inverter through the established communication link.
[0010] Power regulation execution module: After each inverter in the target power station receives the grid power data transmitted by NZC, it obtains the rated power parameters corresponding to each inverter in the target power station, and then analyzes the power regulation ratio corresponding to each inverter in the target power station. Based on the power regulation ratio corresponding to the inverter in the target power station, it dynamically analyzes the power regulation value corresponding to the inverter in the target power station.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. In the embodiments of this invention, firstly, the intelligent adaptability of the communication method is significantly enhanced. By quantitatively analyzing environmental data such as wiring difficulty coefficient, local area network packet loss rate, and device distribution density, the system can automatically match the optimal communication method, solving the limitations of traditional single communication methods in complex scenarios. For example, distributed power stations with difficult wiring can prioritize Sub-1G wireless communication, while rooftop power stations with dense equipment can use WiFiUDP communication to simplify wiring, ensuring that the communication latency is stable within 100ms-500ms under different environments, and the data transmission success rate exceeds 99.9%, greatly reducing the risk of control failure due to communication interruption.
[0012] 2. In this embodiment of the invention, the accuracy and dynamic response capability of power regulation are significantly improved. The system calculates the regulation value based on the rated power ratio of the inverter, avoiding the problems of overload of low-power equipment and regulation redundancy of high-power equipment caused by the traditional average distribution strategy. By updating the total rated power in real time and combining dynamic verification of the smooth effective power value, it ensures that the regulation amount is highly matched with the power demand of the grid. For example, when the grid needs to increase the power by 30kW, the 5kW and 50kW inverters can be adjusted to 3kW and 27kW respectively in a ratio of 1:10, without overload or redundancy, and the regulation response time is ≤1 second. The reverse current power control accuracy can reach within ±2% of the rated power, meeting the stringent stability requirements of the grid under the high penetration rate of new energy.
[0013] 3. Finally, in this embodiment of the invention, the system's reliability and traceability are significantly optimized. Through the closed-loop control logic of "collection-analysis-adjustment-feedback," each step of the operation is verified with data, avoiding loss of control caused by "over-adjustment," "under-adjustment," or communication abnormalities. At the same time, the dual data storage mechanism of local and cloud supports full traceability of power curves and adjustment events. When communication is interrupted or adjustment is abnormal, alarm logs are automatically generated. Maintenance personnel can monitor the equipment status in real time through the APP, improving fault diagnosis efficiency by more than 60% and significantly reducing maintenance costs and grid operation risks.

If the adaptation value of the communication environment corresponding to the target power station is within the adaptation value range of a certain adaptation communication method in the database, then the adaptation communication method in the database is recorded as the adaptation communication method corresponding to the target power station.

After the inverter starts up, it will automatically scan and join the multicast group, dynamically obtain an IP address through DHCP, and maintain a communication delay of ≤100ms.
[0027] A3. If the target power station is compatible with Sub-1G wireless communication, then configure Sub-1G modules of the same frequency band on the NZC and the inverter.

Analyze the smoothed effective power value corresponding to each inverter of the target power station, and calculate the difference between the smoothed effective power value corresponding to each inverter of the target power station at the current acquisition time and the smoothed effective power value corresponding to each inverter of the target power station at the previous acquisition time, and record the difference as the smoothed effective power value difference.
[0030] B2. If the difference in the smoothed effective power value exceeds the set difference in the smoothed effective power value ±5%, then it is determined whether the grid power change corresponding to the inverter of the target power station needs to be fed back. If the difference in the smoothed effective power value does not exceed the set difference in the smoothed effective power value ±5%, then it is determined that the grid power change corresponding to the inverter of the target power station does not need to be fed back.

This refers to the time preceding the current data collection time.
[0033] In a specific embodiment, the transmission of power data from the inverter of the target power station to the power grid via the established communication link is as follows: The NZC of the target power station collects the rated power of each inverter in the target power station through built-in current transformers and voltage sensors.

Based on the power regulation ratio corresponding to the inverter in the target power station, it dynamically analyzes the power regulation value corresponding to the inverter in the target power station.
[0035] In a specific embodiment, the analysis of the power regulation ratio of each inverter in the target power station is carried out as follows: The rated power of each inverter in the target power station is obtained, and the rated power of each inverter in the target power station is accumulated to obtain the total rated power of the target power station. The ratio of the rated power of each inverter in the target power station to the total rated power of the target power station is calculated to obtain the power regulation ratio of each inverter in the target power station, and is denoted as... Where q represents the number corresponding to each inverter. , It is a positive integer. It is also a collection of various inverters.

If the adjusted power exceeds the upper limit, the rated power is used; if it is lower than 0, 0 is used. Finally, the adjustment is performed at a rate of ≤5% rated power / second for increasing or ≤10% rated power / second for decreasing, and the actual output power is fed back to NZC to form a closed-loop control.
[0037] In a specific embodiment, the data storage and log management mechanism is as follows: NZC locally stores the grid power and inverter adjustment records for the most recent 3 months at a rate of one record every 5 minutes, with a capacity of ≥100,000 records, and supports export via USB interface; the cloud platform stores all historical data with a retention period of ≥5 years, and allows users to query power curves, adjustment events, and device online status via APP, and automatically generates alarm logs when communication is interrupted or adjustment is abnormal.
