Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of inverter control technology, specifically relating to a method and system for limiting reactive current command during inverter fault ride-through. Background Technology
[0002] When a grid fault occurs, the inverter needs to operate continuously within the standard requirements without disconnecting from the grid and needs to provide corresponding reactive current support. Grid faults can be categorized into three-phase symmetrical faults and three-phase asymmetrical faults. For three-phase symmetrical faults, only the positive-sequence component of the grid voltage changes, while the negative-sequence and zero-sequence voltages remain unchanged; the inverter only needs to provide positive-sequence reactive current. However, for three-phase asymmetrical faults, both the positive-sequence and negative-sequence components of the grid voltage change, requiring the inverter to provide both positive-sequence and negative-sequence reactive current simultaneously. When the grid fault is severe, the reactive current command calculated according to the standard formula may exceed the inverter's maximum reactive current output capacity. In this case, appropriate limiting processing of the reactive current command is required. For symmetrical faults, where only positive-sequence reactive current exists, limiting the positive-sequence q-axis reactive current command is sufficient. However, for asymmetrical faults, where both positive-sequence and negative-sequence reactive currents exist simultaneously, the negative-sequence reactive current command is influenced by both the negative-sequence d-axis and q-axis, and the positive-sequence q-axis reactive current further complicates matters. Therefore, a reasonable reactive current command limiting method is needed to ensure the inverter does not shut down due to excessive command current. Existing solutions rely on positive-sequence q-axis, negative-sequence d-axis, and q-axis commands, along with the inverter's maximum current I. M The method directly limits the reactive current command without considering the impact of different initial phases of the negative-sequence grid voltage on the magnitude of the reactive current command. This causes the reactive current command limiting to fail under certain asymmetrical fault conditions, resulting in the actual reactive current command potentially exceeding the inverter's maximum current I. M This caused the inverter to shut down due to excessive output current. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a method and system for limiting reactive current command during inverter fault ride-through.

[0053] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the inverter fault-crossing reactive current command limiting system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0054] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0055] Example 1:
[0056] like Figure 1 The image shows an embodiment of the inverter fault-through reactive current command limiting method provided by the present invention, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0057] S1: Detect the instantaneous values of the three-phase voltage during a power grid fault, and obtain the positive sequence, negative sequence components and phase information of the power grid voltage;
[0058] S2: Calculate the positive sequence capacitive reactive current command and the negative sequence inductive reactive current command according to national standards;
[0059] S3: Analyze the relationship between the reactive current command and the amplitude of the positive-sequence voltage, the amplitude of the negative-sequence voltage, and the initial phase of the negative-sequence voltage to obtain the amplitude and phase of the unified total reactive current command in the abc coordinate system;
[0060] S4: Limit the reactive current command so that the maximum value of the three-phase reactive current peak does not exceed the maximum peak value of the inverter output current, and obtain the peak value of the limited reactive current.
[0061] Specifically, when a grid fault occurs, the inverter needs to simultaneously provide positive-sequence capacitive reactive current and negative-sequence inductive reactive current. Since the provided reactive current may be excessive, potentially causing inverter failure or damage, this invention can limit the reactive current command provided by the inverter during fault ride-through, ensuring it remains within the inverter's allowable output current range. During grid faults, this invention directly analyzes the relationship between the reactive current command and the amplitudes and phases of the positive-sequence and negative-sequence voltages to obtain a unified amplitude and phase of the total reactive current command in the abc coordinate system, thereby achieving precise limiting of the reactive current command and ensuring that the sinusoidal nature of the reactive current command in the abc coordinate system remains undistorted. When a grid fault occurs, it can effectively limit the reactive current command provided by the inverter, preventing the reactive current command from exceeding the inverter's maximum current limit and causing overcurrent fault shutdown.

[0065] 2. According to the national standard GB / T 34120, when an asymmetrical fault occurs in the grid voltage, the inverter needs to provide positive-sequence capacitive reactive current and negative-sequence inductive reactive current. The positive-sequence capacitive reactive current is used to support the recovery of the positive-sequence grid voltage, and the negative-sequence inductive reactive current is used to suppress the rise of the negative-sequence grid voltage.

[0073] 3. When a grid fault occurs, the total reactive current that the inverter needs to provide is i. aq i bq i cq And its expression is processed accordingly, as shown in equation (6):
[0074]
[0075] After performing trigonometric function processing on equation (6), the expression for reactive current is shown in equation (7).
[0076]
[0077] in These are the initial phases of the three-phase reactive current command, and their calculation formula is shown in equation (8):
[0078]
[0079] Since K1 > 0 and K2 > 0, the maximum expression for the peak value of the three-phase reactive current is shown in equation (9):
[0080]
[0081] In equation (12), I qmax M represents the maximum peak value of the three-phase reactive current command, and M is a calculated maximum value. The expression for M is shown in equation (10).
[0082] M = max{cos(φ) n cos(φ) n -120°)cos(φ n +120°)} (10)
[0083] Through analysis, the specific value of M can be obtained, as shown in equation (11).
[0084]
[0085] 4. To limit the three-phase reactive current, simply ensure that the maximum value of the three-phase reactive current peak does not exceed the inverter output current maximum peak limit I. M That's fine.
[0086] The limiting of reactive current commands can be implemented in the following ways:
[0087] a. When 0°≤φ n <60° or 300°≤φ n When <360°, there is I qmax =I aq
[0088] if That is, the maximum peak value of the reactive current is greater than the maximum peak value limit I of the inverter output current. M The peak value expression for the three-phase reactive current command is shown in equation (12):
[0089]
[0090] b. When 60°≤φ n <180°, there is I qmax =I bq
[0091] if That is, the maximum peak value of the reactive current is greater than the maximum peak value limit I of the inverter output current. M The peak value expression for the three-phase reactive current command is shown in equation (13):
[0092]
[0093] c. When 180°≤φ n <300°, there is I qmax =I cq
[0094] if That is, the maximum peak value of the reactive current is greater than the maximum peak value limit I of the inverter output current. M The peak value expression for the three-phase reactive current command is shown in equation (14):
[0095]
