Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system stability node configuration technology, and in particular to a method for configuring optimal virtual inertia support nodes in a wind farm access system. Background Technology

[0002] Wind power, as a clean and renewable energy source, continues to increase its share in the global power system. However, as traditional synchronous turbines are replaced by wind power and other power electronic devices, the system's equivalent inertia decreases. With the increasing penetration rate of wind power, the system's equivalent inertia will decrease, leading to a rise in the rate of frequency fluctuation and a decline in stability. Therefore, reliable virtual inertia support is needed when considering the integration of renewable energy systems into the power grid.

[0003] To compensate for the lack of inertia, virtual inertia control technology modifies the control strategy of wind turbine converters, enabling them to dynamically adjust output power based on the system frequency change rate, simulating the inertial response characteristics of synchronous generator sets. However, existing solutions for supporting virtual inertia systems lack the selection of supporting nodes, leading to oscillations and instability after some nodes are connected, and are also uneconomical. This threatens power system security and increases power system integration costs, necessitating new methods to ensure system stability and reduce integration costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of oscillation instability and lack of economic efficiency caused by the operation of some nodes in the wind farm access system in the prior art. It provides a method for configuring the optimal virtual inertia support node in the wind farm access system. By combining the judgment results of sensitivity screening and intelligent algorithm optimization, the optimal access node of the system is given. The above measures ensure system stability and provide the optimal economic site selection for the system.

[0008] Based on stability constraints, establish the stability objective function corresponding to each node, and perform virtual inertia support and damping ratio sensitivity analysis of key modes within the range of the stability constraints.

[0009] Based on the damping ratio sensitivity analysis results, node sorting optimization calculations are performed to obtain the stability optimization results of each node based on sensitivity sorting, and the optimal virtual inertia support node configuration of the target wind farm is determined based on the optimization results.

[0022] Optionally, based on the damping ratio sensitivity analysis results, node ranking optimization calculations are performed to obtain the stability optimization results of each node based on the sensitivity ranking, including:

[0023] S5.1: Initialize the particle swarm size, dimension, cross-sectional probability, cross-sectional probability, sensitivity factor, and number of iterations;

[0024] S5.2: Execute the cross-sectional algorithm to obtain the offspring particle swarm;

[0025] S5.3: Based on the parameters of the offspring particle swarm, determine whether each node has reached the preset damping ratio threshold.

S n =S imax This indicates that the number of nodes required for a given node to compute with higher sensitivity compared to other nodes, S n ≈Sn-1 ≈S n-2 This indicates the number of nodes with the same sensitivity that were extracted.

[0032] Optionally, in S5.4, when performing the next cross-multiplication algorithm on the sorted nodes, this is achieved by increasing the weight of high-sensitivity nodes. The method for increasing the weight of high-sensitivity nodes is as follows:

[0033]

[0034] Among them, MS hc (o,d)o * It is the updated horizontal crossover sub-individual, where η is the weight coefficient, and MS hc (o,d) represents the horizontally crossed sub-individuals before the update, S o S represents the sensitivity of the highly sensitive node o after sorting. j Let be the sensitivity of node j after sorting, and n be the number of nodes that the target wind farm can connect to the system.

[0043] This embodiment provides a method for configuring optimal virtual inertia support nodes in a wind farm access system, including:

[0044] A mathematical model of a fully variable-flow wind turbine with integrated virtual inertia support is established, and stability constraints are set for the corresponding virtual inertia coefficients of each node in the target wind farm.

Under the condition that the same stability margin is set for each wind turbine node connected to the system, a method for sensitivity ranking optimization of nodes is proposed to find the optimal virtual inertia support node configuration most suitable for the wind farm's connection to the system.

[0075]

[0076] In the formula, J PLLi D PLLi The upper and lower limits are required to ensure that the damping ratio of the node is not negative.

[0089] S5.6: End the iteration and output the globally optimal particle after the iteration.

[0090] Specifically, in step S5.3, the formula for calculating the sensitivity ranking is as follows:

[0091]

[0092] In the formula, n refers to the number of nodes that the wind farm can connect to the system, and S n =S imax This refers to the requirement that the number of nodes acquired must be such that the computational sensitivity of that node is higher than that of other nodes, where S... n ≈S n-1 ≈S n-2 This refers to the number of nodes with the same sensitivity that were extracted. The basis for extracting these nodes is that their sensitivities are similar.

[0097] Specifically, in step S5.4, the next cross-cutting algorithm is performed on the sorted nodes to obtain the updated offspring particle swarm. Step S5.3 then proceeds with the following steps:

[0098] Based on the ranking results, high-sensitivity nodes are selected, and their weights are increased to perform cross-crossing coefficients, accelerating local convergence. The formula for increasing the weights of high-sensitivity nodes is as follows:

[0099]

[0100] Among them, MS hc (o,d)o * It is the updated horizontal crossover sub-individual, where η is the weight coefficient, and MS hc (o, d) represents the horizontally crossed sub-individuals before the update, where o is the number of high-sensitivity nodes, and S is the number of nodes. o S represents the sensitivity of the highly sensitive node o after sorting. j Let be the sensitivity of node j after sorting, and n be the number of nodes that the target wind farm can connect to the system.
