Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy power system control, specifically to a distributed control method, system, device, and storage medium for transient overvoltage at the DC sending end of a new energy power system, which replaces a synchronous condenser. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale grid connection of new energy sources, photovoltaic power generation systems, as an important component of distributed energy, face a critical challenge in terms of transient overvoltage at their DC transmission end, hindering stable system operation. When photovoltaic arrays are connected to the grid via DC combiner boxes and inverters, high-frequency transient overvoltages are easily triggered on the DC side due to factors such as sudden changes in sunlight intensity, inverter switching, DC-side capacitor charging and discharging effects, and grid faults. These overvoltages are characterized by high amplitude (up to 1.5 to 2 times the rated value), rapid rise time (microseconds), and concentrated energy, threatening not only the insulation reliability of power devices but also causing the inverter to trip out of the grid for protection, further exacerbating grid frequency and voltage fluctuations.

[0003] In related technologies, centralized control strategies rely on a single controller to collect global information and issue control commands, which suffers from problems such as high communication latency, poor scalability, and single-point failure risk. As photovoltaic power plants expand to the megawatt level, the DC-side topology exhibits multi-branch, hierarchical characteristics, making traditional architectures insufficient to meet real-time requirements. Distributed control methods based on multi-agent theory have emerged, with the core idea of ​​distributing control logic to local controllers, enabling information exchange between adjacent nodes through a sparse communication network, and completing collaborative decision-making by combining local measurement data. Existing distributed control strategies mainly focus on three aspects: first, dynamic reactive power compensation, which adjusts the inverter's reactive power output to change line impedance characteristics and suppress voltage spike propagation; second, energy routing optimization, which uses DC circuit breakers and power modules to reconstruct the topology to isolate faulty branches; and third, pulse modulation coordination, which synchronizes the PWM carriers of multiple inverters and reduces overvoltage amplitude through harmonic cancellation. However, the above studies are mostly aimed at steady-state operation or single-fault scenarios, lacking collaborative control mechanisms for multi-timescale transient processes. Especially in DC grids with a high proportion of power electronic converters connected, the strong coupling between the controller and the physical system can easily lead to new problems such as subsynchronous oscillations, and there is an urgent need to establish a distributed control architecture that combines speed and robustness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a distributed control method, system, device and storage medium for transient overvoltage at the DC transmission end of a new energy source to replace the synchronous condenser, so as to solve the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a distributed control method for transient overvoltage at the DC transmission end of a new energy source, replacing a synchronous condenser, comprising:

[0006] S1. The terminal voltage and DC bus current of the local synchronous condenser are sampled synchronously, and the reactive power of the new energy DC transmission end is adaptively adjusted by a fractional-order PID algorithm based on the sampled terminal voltage and DC bus current.

[0007] S2. Establish information interaction between local synchronous condensers and adjacent synchronous condensers through a sparse communication network, and use the Gossipy consensus algorithm to allocate reactive power to multiple synchronous condensers.

[0008] S3. Based on ultra-short-term illumination prediction data, the operating point of the condenser is updated using a model predictive control algorithm.

[0009] In one optional implementation, the fractional-order PID algorithm uses the Grünwald-Letnikov discretization method to construct a fractional-order differential operator, with the transfer function being:

[0019] In one optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0020] When the communication between the target synchronous condenser and the target synchronous condenser is interrupted for more than 3 cycles, the system automatically switches to the local fractional-order PID independent control mode and broadcasts an alarm signal to the adjacent synchronous condenser.

[0021] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a distributed control system for transient overvoltage at the DC transmission end of a new energy source, which replaces synchronous condensers, comprising: multiple synchronous condensers connected in parallel, a sparse communication network device, a synchronous sampling device, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the control method according to any one of claims 1-7.

Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained from these drawings without creative effort.

[0027] Figure 1This is a flowchart illustrating a distributed control method for transient overvoltage at the DC transmission end of a new energy source, which replaces a synchronous condenser, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a computer device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a distributed control method for transient overvoltage at the DC transmission end of a new energy source according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0032] S1. The terminal voltage and DC bus current of the local synchronous condenser are sampled synchronously, and the reactive power of the new energy DC transmission end is adaptively adjusted by a fractional-order PID algorithm based on the sampled terminal voltage and DC bus current.

[0033] Specifically, synchronous sampling is used to obtain terminal voltage and DC bus current. Compared with traditional PID, fractional PID provides a more refined dynamic response through non-integer order calculus operators, which can better adapt to the strong nonlinear characteristics of new energy power plants.

[0034] Among them, the adaptive adjustment of reactive power can be achieved by adjusting the fractional order or gain parameters online to cope with the rapid voltage changes at the DC sending end caused by wind and solar fluctuations.

[0035] S2. Establish information exchange between local synchronous condensers and adjacent synchronous condensers through a sparse communication network, and use the Gossipy consensus algorithm to allocate reactive power among multiple synchronous condensers.

[0036] Specifically, the sparse communication network reduces the bandwidth requirements of traditional centralized control and achieves global coordination through local information exchange (such as reactive power output of adjacent nodes).

[0037] The introduction of the Gossipy algorithm (random gossip communication) enhances the system's fault tolerance, enabling convergence even if some communication links are interrupted, making it suitable for distributed architectures in high-proportion new energy scenarios.

[0038] S3. Based on ultra-short-term illumination prediction data, the operating point of the condenser is updated using a model predictive control algorithm.

[0039] Specifically, by combining the model predictive control algorithm (MPC) with ultra-short-term illumination prediction (usually with an accuracy of 5-15 minutes) with rolling optimization, the operating point of the synchronous condenser can be adjusted in advance to prevent transient overvoltage caused by a sudden drop in photovoltaic output.

[0040] In this process, steps S1 and S2 form a "feedforward-feedback" synergy: S3 handles predictive global optimization, while steps S1 and S2 achieve real-time local correction.

[0041] In summary, the embodiments of this invention can achieve multi-timescale control, with ultra-short-term prediction (minute-level), MPC (second-level), and fractional-order PID (millisecond-level) forming a hierarchical control system. Simultaneously, the distributed architecture and consensus algorithm avoid single points of failure, making it more suitable for large-scale renewable energy clusters compared to traditional SVG centralized control. Furthermore, in transient overvoltage suppression, fractional-order PID control exhibits superior dynamic performance compared to integer-order PID, such as a smoother reactive power compensation curve.

[0042] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention can also be applied to high-proportion wind and solar DC transmission systems (such as UHV-supported new energy bases) to solve the problem of overvoltage at the sending end caused by DC blocking or sudden changes in wind and solar power under weak grid conditions.

[0043] In one alternative implementation, the fractional-order PID algorithm uses the Grünwald-Letnikov discretization method to construct a fractional-order differential operator, with the transfer function being:

[0044]

[0045] Where λ is the order of integration, μ is the order of differentiation, and K p K is the gain coefficient of the proportional element. i K is the gain coefficient of the integrator. d is the gain coefficient of the differential element.

[0046] It should be noted that K p K i K d The order and gain can be dynamically adjusted by identifying the impedance characteristics of new energy power plants online.

[0047] Preferably, λ = 0.8, μ = 0.7, K p∈[2.0,3.0], K i ∈[1.0,1.5], K d (∈0.5,1.0).

[0048] In one optional implementation, the reactive power adaptive regulation process includes: increasing the derivative order μ when the rate of change of the DC bus current exceeds a threshold to improve the transient response speed; and decreasing the integral order λ when the deviation of the terminal voltage persists to avoid overshoot.

[0049] In one optional implementation, the sparse communication network satisfies a first condition; the first condition includes: communication bandwidth < 5kbps, network topology entropy < 0.3, and reactive power allocation consistency convergence completed within 20ms using the Gossipy algorithm, with the convergence threshold set to 0.01pu.

[0050] In one optional implementation, the process of acquiring ultra-short-term illumination prediction data includes:

[0051] An LSTM neural network is used to process satellite cloud images and meteorological data to output a voltage output prediction curve for the target time period in the future, with a time resolution of ≤1min.

[0052] In one optional implementation, the rolling optimization objective function of the model predictive control algorithm is:

[0053]

[0054] Where, N P For prediction in the time domain, N c To control the time domain, W V and W Q Let V be the weight matrix. t|k Let V be the predicted terminal voltage at time t. ref For the rated voltage, ΔQ t|k To control the increment.

[0055] Preferably, the prediction time domain N=10, and the reactive power reference value of the synchronous condenser is updated every 100ms in combination with the illumination prediction data, and the weight coefficient of the objective function is dynamically adjusted.

[0056] In one alternative implementation, the sparse communication network may include an event-triggered communication mechanism that triggers information exchange between neighboring synchronous condensers only when the voltage deviation exceeds a preset threshold or a fault is detected.

[0057] In one optional implementation, the control method further includes:

[0058] When the communication between the target synchronous condenser and the target synchronous condenser is interrupted for more than 3 cycles, the system automatically switches to the local fractional-order PID independent control mode and broadcasts an alarm signal to adjacent nodes.
