Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system operation and control technology, specifically to an adaptive adjustment system and method for the differential characteristics of extended unit connection units. Background Technology
[0002] Extended unit connection involves connecting two generating units in parallel to the system via a single main transformer. In actual operation, parameter variations can lead to an imbalance in reactive power distribution between the two units. Furthermore, due to the difference in response time between the two units, they may compete for reactive power, meaning one unit generates additional reactive power while the other absorbs it.
[0003] The relative rate of change of generator voltage when the reactive current of a generator increases from zero to its rated value is usually defined as the droop coefficient. For a generator in operation, its excitation regulator has already set the droop coefficient value based on information such as the unit capacity and the short-circuit voltage of the main transformer, so as to achieve a reasonable distribution of reactive power among generator units operating in parallel. Summary of the Invention

This method adds a reactive current feedback to the excitation regulator based on the existing excitation system, ensuring reasonable allocation of reactive power according to information from neighboring units and preventing the phenomenon of competing for reactive power.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical features, the present invention aims to provide an adaptive adjustment system for the differential characteristics of a unit with extended connection, comprising two parallel generator sets and their excitation systems. The generator sets are connected to a high-voltage bus via a main transformer. Measuring elements are installed at the generator terminals of each generator set, and the collected voltage and current data are sent to a sampling and calculation unit via the measuring elements.

The reactive power imbalance between the two generators is calculated based on information from neighboring generators. An optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal feedback parameters with the goal of adjusting the reactive power imbalance to zero. By changing the excitation current, the reactive power at the generator terminal is changed, thereby achieving a balanced distribution of reactive power and mitigating the occurrence of reactive power contention.
