Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to an adaptive control method for grid-connected converters, belonging to the field of grid-connected control technology for new energy converters. Background Technology

[0002] New energy generating units are generally connected to the grid via power electronic converters. These devices are responsible for converting the DC power or frequency-converted AC power generated by new energy sources into stable AC power synchronized with the grid, serving as the core interface for energy transmission and system stability. However, grid-connected converters can cause subsynchronous oscillations, primarily due to unfavorable negative damping interactions between the phase-locked loop (PLL) synchronization stage and the weak grid impedance in the subsynchronous frequency band. Subsynchronous oscillations not only threaten the stable operation of the converter itself and the new energy generating units, but can also lead to electrical equipment damage or even cascading grid disconnection accidents in severe cases, making them a key factor restricting the stability of high-proportion new energy grid connections to weak grids. Therefore, proposing stable and effective suppression strategies for subsynchronous oscillations caused by grid-connected converters in weak grid environments is crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of new power systems.

[0003] Currently, methods for suppressing subsynchronous oscillations in grid-connected converters can be broadly categorized into two directions: First, the control parameter design approach. This method, based on the converter's own topology or control structure, enhances damping in specific frequency bands by adjusting key parameters of the controller's current loop and phase-locked loop (such as proportional-integral coefficients and filter time constants). Its advantage lies in its relatively simple implementation, but the improvement is limited by the system's inherent stability margin and dynamic performance, and may require readjustment under different operating conditions, thus limiting its adaptability. Second, the control system impedance reshaping approach. This method primarily targets reshaping the equivalent output impedance characteristics of the grid-connected converter in the subsynchronous frequency band, for example, by adding positive resistance or damping to suppress oscillations. Common techniques include introducing additional damping control loops or specific filters. While impedance reshaping can be more precise, its control structure is relatively complex, increasing the difficulty of design and implementation. Summary of the Invention

Combining the online impedance identification results with a parameter design method based on damping characteristics, the main parameters of the controller are optimized, an adaptive control architecture is constructed, and the stability of the grid-connected converter under conditions of varying short-circuit ratios in weak grids is improved. Specifically, this includes:

[0038] Step 1: Based on the relationship between the power of the grid-connected converter and the synchronization angle, establish the small-signal component equation of the output power of the grid-connected converter, and obtain the DC voltage synchronization proportional coefficient based on this equation. The expression:

[0039] The DC-side voltage deviation signal of the grid-connected converter is collected and processed by a first-order inertial element to obtain a synchronous angle component with DC dynamic characteristics, which is used as the angle compensation amount of the grid-connected converter.

This represents the proportional coefficient of the DC voltage synchronization circuit. Let represent the time constant in a first-order inertial element, and s represent the Laplace operator.

[0042] The small signal component of the DC voltage synchronization angle is linearly superimposed with the small signal component of the phase-locked loop output angle using a proportional coefficient to generate the actual angle command of the grid-connected converter control system, thus realizing the angle compensation method of the synchronization link.

[0043] The small-signal expression for the phase-locked loop output angle in a grid-connected converter control system after passing through a proportional element is as follows:

[0049] (4)

[0050] The above steps enable the implementation of an angle compensation method for the synchronization process.

[0051] Step 2: Detect and extract the broadband oscillation characteristics of the grid-connected converter online. When subsynchronous oscillation is determined, identify the line impedance based on harmonic information. :

[0058] Combining equations (1)-(3) and equation (5), and after harmonic linearization, the small-signal equation relationship between converter power and synchronization angle can be obtained as follows:

[0059] (7)

[0060] Substituting equation (6) into equation (7), we can obtain the small-signal equation of the second-order equivalent model of the system:

[0061] (8)

[0062] (9)

[0063] In the above formula, This represents the small-signal component of the converter's output power. This represents the virtual inertia provided by the control system. This represents the reference value for the grid connection angle. This represents the system damping coefficient, which has a suppressive effect on oscillations; This represents the system synchronization coefficient, which helps the system regain stability.

[0064] Its characteristic equation can be expressed as:

[0065] (10)

[0066] To analyze the dynamic characteristics of a control system, a natural oscillation frequency can be defined. and the two key parameters of system damping ratio Characteristic roots of the characteristic equation:

[0067] (11)

[0068] (12)

[0069] In the above formula, Indicates the system damping ratio. The values ​​of ω and ω represent the natural oscillation angular frequency, and can be selected based on the system overshoot and the required settling time.

[0070] In equation (12) Online grid impedance identification is required. The actual operating conditions of grid-connected converter control systems under weak grid conditions are quite complex, making online impedance detection technology based on disturbance-free injection a better choice. To achieve grid impedance identification, it is first necessary to detect the harmonic components in the converter. This involves collecting the three-phase output voltage, three-phase output current, and DC-side voltage of the grid-connected current transformer, and then using the Recursive Discrete Fourier Transform (RDFT) to detect the harmonic components in the converter. The specific implementation method is as follows.

[0071] Assume a signal with an arbitrary period of T Let M represent the number of sampling points in one period, then the discrete value of the signal at any given time is... It can be represented as the sum of all frequency components, where n takes values ​​in the range of 0, 1, 2, …, N-1.

[0077] In the formula, Indicates the latest sampling point. , This indicates the amplitude of the latest harmonic sine and cosine components.

[0078] According to equation (15), the amplitudes of the i-th voltage and current harmonics of the control system can be expressed as follows:

This represents the amplitude of the sinusoidal component of the i-th harmonic of the voltage. This represents the amplitude of the i-th harmonic cosine component of the voltage. This represents the amplitude of the sinusoidal component of the i-th harmonic of the current. This represents the amplitude of the i-th harmonic cosine component of the current.

[0081] The formula for calculating actual power grid impedance is as follows:

[0082] (17)

[0083] In the formula, Indicates the inductance of the power grid. Indicates the harmonic frequency.

[0084] The RDFT detection method has high accuracy and speed. It only needs to be initialized when the device is started. The voltage and current data collected by the above iterative equation can be calculated once in each control cycle in the actual controller chip. At the end of each sliding window cycle, the corresponding amplitude signal of the harmonic can be calculated and the actual value of the grid impedance can be output.

[0085] Substituting equation (17) into equation (12), we get:

[0086] (18)

[0087] Under weak grid conditions, the grid impedance exhibits time-varying characteristics. If the relevant parameters in the control strategy are designed as fixed values, it is difficult to effectively adapt to the dynamic changes in grid impedance, thus leading to a decrease in system robustness and an inability to effectively suppress the subsynchronous oscillations generated by the system. Therefore, for the short-circuit ratio variation condition under weak grid conditions, the RDFT detection method can identify the harmonic components of the system output voltage and current, and then calculate the real-time grid impedance data. Substituting this data into equation (18) will yield the main system parameter, the DC voltage synchronization ratio coefficient. The value; This implementation uses a parameter design method based on damping characteristics to optimize the main parameters of the controller, construct an adaptive control architecture, and improve the stability of the grid-connected converter under the condition of changing short-circuit ratio in a weak power grid.

[0088] Step 3: Acquire the DC-side voltage deviation signal of the grid-connected converter. Then, according to equation (1), we get ;

[0089] Step 4: Calculate the DC voltage synchronization proportional coefficient. Next, the output voltage signal of the three-phase grid-connected converter is acquired. Then, combining with formula (3), the proportional coefficient of the phase-locked loop synchronization element is obtained. The value of the small signal component of the phase-locked loop angle in the synchronization link is obtained according to equation (2). ;

[0090] Step 5, Reference Figure 2 Based on the grid connection angle reference value, and combining the small-signal angle components containing DC dynamic characteristics and the small-signal angle components of the phase-locked loop in the synchronization link, the actual grid connection angle of the synchronization link is obtained. ; Figure 2 In this context, uq represents the q-axis component of the output voltage.

[0092] refer to Figure 3 The adaptive control strategy of this implementation first requires collecting the three-phase output voltage, three-phase output current, and DC side voltage of the grid-connected converter. Then, the RDFT detection method is run to calculate the harmonic amplitude of the three-phase output voltage and current according to equation (16). When the control system experiences subsynchronous oscillation, it is judged. If subsynchronous oscillation occurs, the next step is performed; otherwise, the system operates normally. If the next step is performed, the corresponding grid impedance value needs to be calculated in real time according to equation (17). Then, the main parameters of the control system are obtained according to equations (3) and (18). The parameters are substituted into the synchronous control link to output the actual grid connection angle and realize the adaptive control method.

[0094] refer to Figure 5 The figure shows the experimental verification of the adaptive control method proposed in this application to improve the stability of grid-connected converters under weak grid conditions. As can be seen from the figure, under weak grid conditions, when the control system generates subsynchronous oscillations, the proposed adaptive control method can detect and respond promptly, suppressing the oscillations in a short time, demonstrating good dynamic performance and improving the stability of the grid-connected converter control system under weak grid conditions.
