Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system energy storage technology, specifically relating to an optimization method and device for inertia support of a gravity energy storage system based on VSG control. Background Technology
[0002] With the large-scale grid connection of new energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics into the power system, the proportion of traditional synchronous generator units has continued to decline, resulting in a significant reduction in the system's equivalent rotational inertia and severely weakening the grid's frequency stability capability. Against this backdrop, existing gravity energy storage systems exhibit significant technical deficiencies in addressing the frequency stability issues arising from the integration of high-proportion new energy sources (referring to a significant increase in the proportion of new energy generation in total power generation): their passive, mass-dependent inertial response mechanism struggles to achieve rapid and precise frequency regulation; their control strategies lack coordinated optimization for second-level inertia support and minute-level energy dispatch, failing to balance short-term frequency stability with long-term operational needs; and their fixed-parameter capacity configuration is mismatched with dynamically changing grid demands, affecting both support effectiveness and resource waste. These technical shortcomings make existing gravity energy storage systems unable to meet the urgent needs of new power systems for proactive, rapid, and economical inertia support; therefore, existing technologies suffer from frequency stability problems due to insufficient system inertia when high-proportion new energy sources are integrated into the power system.
