Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method and system for calculating reactive power compensation in new energy power plants. Background Technology
[0002] In the operation of renewable energy power plants, the power grid faces complex reactive power demand and voltage stability issues due to the volatility and uncertainty of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. Especially under large-scale grid-connected power generation, power fluctuations generated by the power generation and conversion equipment in renewable energy power plants can easily lead to voltage fluctuations, thereby affecting the operational safety and stability of the power grid.
[0003] Traditional reactive power compensation methods typically rely on static compensation devices, such as capacitor banks or fixed reactive power compensation equipment. However, these devices cannot respond to rapid changes in the power grid in real time, resulting in unsatisfactory compensation effects, especially when renewable energy generation fluctuates significantly. Furthermore, as the scale of renewable energy power plants continues to expand, the capacity limitations and responsiveness of single compensation devices are becoming increasingly inadequate.
[0004] To address this issue, increasing research is focusing on strategies for dynamically optimizing reactive power compensation. These strategies utilize real-time monitoring and control technologies, combined with intelligent compensation devices, to achieve real-time adjustment and optimization of reactive power demand. However, current solutions still face challenges such as accurately acquiring power demand parameters under complex grid conditions, precisely calculating the voltage, current, and reactive power distribution at each node through power flow analysis, and selecting appropriate reactive power compensation devices.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art need an efficient and accurate reactive power compensation calculation method that can not only dynamically optimize the reactive power compensation amount in new energy power plants, but also quickly adjust the working status of reactive power compensation equipment based on real-time monitoring data, thereby solving the voltage fluctuation problem in new energy power plants and improving the stability of the power grid and the grid connection efficiency of new energy. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a reactive power compensation calculation method and system for renewable energy power plants. Through dynamic optimization of reactive power compensation strategies, combined with real-time monitoring data and precise power flow analysis, the stability of the power grid is effectively improved, and the negative impact of renewable energy power plants on the power grid is reduced. The specific solution is as follows:
[0007] In one aspect, a reactive power compensation calculation method for new energy power plants includes the following steps: obtaining power demand parameters of power generation equipment, conversion equipment, and auxiliary equipment in the new energy power plant, wherein the power demand parameters include active power, reactive power, and their power factors, and obtaining the complex power of each equipment based on the load characteristic models of the power generation equipment, conversion equipment, and auxiliary equipment; performing power flow analysis on the power generation equipment, conversion equipment, and auxiliary equipment through the admittance matrix to calculate the voltage, current, and reactive power distribution of each node in each equipment; determining the reactive power compensation area and reactive power compensation amount based on the voltage, current, and reactive power distribution; selecting the corresponding reactive power compensation equipment based on the reactive power compensation area and reactive power compensation amount; adjusting the working state of the reactive power compensation equipment based on the real-time monitoring data of the new energy power plant to dynamically optimize the reactive power compensation amount; continuously optimizing the reactive power compensation strategy based on the real-time monitoring data and feeding the reactive power compensation strategy back to the reactive power compensation equipment.

[0011] Furthermore, the reactive power compensation equipment includes a fixed compensation device, an adjustable compensation device, and a hybrid compensation device; thus avoiding the problem of insufficient or excessive reactive power compensation caused by improper equipment selection.

[0024] For clarity, the following examples will be used to provide a detailed description.
[0025] Each wind turbine in the wind farm is a 3MW wind turbine, and each inverter is a 1MW photovoltaic inverter. The substation is a 110kV main substation. Sensors are installed in the above equipment to collect the active power, reactive power and power factor of each device in real time.
[0026] S1: The power demand parameter module 100 obtains the following power demand parameters for the wind turbine: active power 2.5MW, reactive power 0.8MVAr, and power factor 0.95. Based on historical operating data and the wind turbine's characteristic curve, a linear load model is used to estimate the load characteristic model. The specific method is as follows: Based on the relationship between the power factor and active and reactive power, the complex power S of the wind turbine is calculated. Based on the load characteristic model of the wind turbine, the load characteristics of the wind turbine are calculated through historical operating data. By linearly fitting the historical data, the load characteristic function can be obtained, Q=f(P)=aP+b, where a and b are coefficients obtained by data fitting and are used to calculate the reactive power demand of the wind turbine under different loads.
[0027] S2: The power flow analysis module 200 constructs the admittance matrix based on the topology of the new energy power station and sets boundary conditions for voltage and power. Assuming the wind farm contains multiple nodes connected to the power generation equipment, conversion equipment, and substation network, an example of the admittance matrix is as follows: The power balance equation is used to iteratively calculate voltage, current, and reactive power distribution to obtain the voltage stability and reactive power demand of each node; the admittance matrix Y is... Then, the voltage, current, and reactive power distribution at each node are calculated using the power balance equation. Where i is the node number, V i node voltage To obtain the admittance of the complex conjugate, the equation is solved iteratively to obtain the voltage and reactive power distribution at each node. The calculated values are: node A, voltage 1.02, reactive power 0.5MVAr; node B, voltage 1.00, reactive power 1.2MVAr; node C, voltage 0.98, reactive power 0.9MVAr. The voltage at node C, obtained through iterative calculation, is V. C =0.98pu, reactive power is Q C =0.9MVAr, thus determining that the node needs compensation;
[0028] S3: The compensation area determination module 300 identifies node C, a region with a low voltage amplitude, based on the power flow analysis results. The voltage amplitude of node C is 0.98, which is lower than the standard voltage value. Therefore, it is determined that this region needs reactive power compensation, and the compensation amount is calculated to be 0.6MVAr.
[0029] S4: The equipment selection module 400 selects STATCOM as the compensation device based on the reactive power compensation amount and the power grid stability requirements of the substation, and configures its capacity to 2MVAr to cope with the fluctuation of reactive power.
[0030] S5: The real-time adjustment module 500 dynamically adjusts the working status of the compensation equipment by monitoring data in real time, as follows: the real-time data acquisition frequency is changed to update once every 5 seconds, and the reactive power output of STATCOM is adjusted by nonlinear fuzzy control according to voltage fluctuations and power flow changes. When the current voltage fluctuation is large, the reactive power output of STATCOM is adjusted to 1.2MVAr.
[0031] S6: When the wind farm generates a large amount of electricity, the continuous optimization module 600 dynamically optimizes the compensation amount through the PID control strategy to reduce the impact on the power grid. When the power generation is large, the optimized compensation amount is calculated to be 1.5MVAr. The feedback regulation block feeds back the continuously optimized reactive power compensation strategy to the STATCOM device to ensure that the equipment can maintain the best working state under various operating conditions, thereby achieving accurate reactive power compensation.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it.
