Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of power grid dispatching, and specifically to a reactive power and voltage control method and system for photovoltaic inverters. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of new renewable energy fields and the continuous improvement of photovoltaic power generation technology, photovoltaic power generation units have become a major source of power supply for the power grid. However, unlike traditional thermal power generation units, photovoltaic power generation units are severely affected by the environment, and their power generation exhibits strong random fluctuations and intermittency. This causes photovoltaic power generation units to impact the power grid when connected to the grid, affecting electrical variables such as reactive voltage and reactive power. Therefore, it is necessary to implement reasonable voltage control for distributed photovoltaic power generation units when connected to the grid to ensure the operational stability of the power grid.

[0003] A photovoltaic (PV) inverter is a controllable power electronic device with reactive power regulation and compensation functions, capable of simultaneously regulating the voltage at the PV grid connection point and the reactive power of the grid. In distributed PV grids, the sunlight conditions around the PV generators vary, necessitating the use of droop control strategies to control the reactive power of the PV inverters corresponding to each generator. However, traditional droop control strategies, based on a constant droop coefficient, provide unified control of the reactive power of multiple PV inverters, making it difficult to adapt to complex actual sunlight conditions. This results in poor overall reactive power control performance of the PV grid. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In some embodiments, the power fluctuation characteristic value is positively correlated with the internal interference index, and the impedance characteristic value is negatively correlated with the internal interference index.

[0013] In some embodiments, the step of correcting the initial droop coefficient corresponding to the external interference index and internal interference index of each photovoltaic inverter to obtain the target droop coefficient of each photovoltaic inverter includes: Based on the external interference index of each photovoltaic inverter, an external interference correction value is determined for each photovoltaic inverter.

Attached Figure Description

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions and advantages in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a reactive voltage control method for a photovoltaic inverter provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a reactive voltage control system for a photovoltaic inverter provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0020] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve its intended purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific implementation, structure, features, and effects of a reactive power voltage control method and system for photovoltaic inverters proposed according to the present invention. In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "another embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0022] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details a specific scheme for a reactive voltage control method and system for photovoltaic inverters provided by the present invention.

[0023] This invention provides a reactive power voltage control method for photovoltaic inverters, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step S1: Analyze the changes in irradiance in the irradiated areas corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid, as well as the harmonic interference intensity in the monitoring voltage signals of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid, and determine the external interference index of each photovoltaic inverter.

[0024] In this invention, the photovoltaic grid should be understood as a network composed of multiple photovoltaic power generation units in a distributed networking manner, wherein each photovoltaic power generation unit is equipped with a photovoltaic inverter.

[0025] In a distributed photovoltaic grid, the different locations of each photovoltaic power generation unit result in different light intensities. Coupled with the intermittent and fluctuating nature of light intensity changes, the harmonic interference generated by the differences in intermittent light fluctuations among the photovoltaic power generation units will vary to some extent.

[0026] In addition to the differences in intermittent light fluctuations, the electromagnetic interference experienced by each photovoltaic power generation unit varies due to their different locations. This results in certain differences in harmonic interference caused by factors other than intermittent light fluctuations among the photovoltaic power generation units.

[0027] However, it should be noted that simply analyzing the monitoring voltage signals of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid to assess the degree of harmonic interference experienced by each inverter carries a significant risk of error (such as measurement errors in the collected monitoring voltage signals, or certain faults in the collected monitoring voltage signals). By introducing the risk of changes in the light intensity of the corresponding irradiated area of ​​the photovoltaic inverter through the above measures, the harmonic interference intensity obtained from the analysis of the monitoring voltage signals can be compensated in combination with the real environment, thereby suppressing the measurement errors introduced by external interference and making the final determined external interference index more accurate and reliable.

[0028] The external interference index indicates the severity of harmonic interference affecting the voltage data of the corresponding photovoltaic inverter. A higher external interference index indicates more severe harmonic interference affecting the voltage data of the corresponding photovoltaic inverter.

[0029] The more severe the harmonic interference on the voltage data of the photovoltaic inverter, the greater the difficulty in controlling the reactive voltage of the photovoltaic inverter (manifested as a large deviation between the calculated control amount and the actual required control amount). Therefore, when controlling the reactive voltage output of the photovoltaic inverter, adaptive compensation can be made by referring to the harmonic interference it is subjected to, so as to suppress the control error introduced by the harmonic interference.

[0030] Specifically, the analysis of the changes in irradiance in the irradiated areas corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid, and the harmonic interference intensity in the monitoring voltage signals of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid, to determine the external interference index of each photovoltaic inverter, includes: During the monitoring period, the changes in light intensity of the corresponding irradiated areas of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid at adjacent times are analyzed to determine multiple light intensity change factors corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter. Calculate the average value of multiple light intensity variation factors corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter to obtain the light intensity variation characteristic value of each photovoltaic inverter; During the monitoring period, the proportion of harmonic energy in the monitoring voltage signal of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid is analyzed to determine the harmonic interference characteristic value of each photovoltaic inverter. The external interference index of each photovoltaic inverter is determined based on the characteristic values ​​of light intensity variation and harmonic interference of each inverter.

[0031] The process of analyzing the changes in irradiance in the corresponding irradiance areas of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid at adjacent times during the monitoring period, in order to determine multiple irradiance variation factors corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter, includes: During the monitoring period, the absolute difference in light intensity of the illuminated area corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter at adjacent times is calculated to obtain multiple light intensity change values ​​corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter. Among the multiple light intensity change values ​​corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter, the ratio of each light intensity change value corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter to the light intensity at the corresponding monitoring time is calculated to obtain multiple light intensity change factors corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter.

[0032] The monitoring period is a time period that starts from the current time and traces back to a set duration (such as 5 minutes or 10 minutes), or it is a time period that is one of multiple consecutive time periods divided into the time domain according to a set period (such as 10 minutes).

[0033] The solar-powered inverter's corresponding illumination area should be understood as the solar-sensitive area of ​​the solar-powered inverter corresponding to the solar power generation unit.

[0034] It should be understood that the larger the characteristic value of light intensity variation of the photovoltaic inverter, the more drastic the change in light intensity of the photovoltaic inverter during the monitoring period, which means that the degree of intermittent fluctuation of light in the corresponding light area of ​​the photovoltaic inverter is more serious, and the more serious the harmonic interference on the voltage data of the photovoltaic inverter is.

[0035] For example, the first in the photovoltaic grid The characteristic value of light intensity variation of a photovoltaic inverter It can be represented as:

[0036] in, This indicates the total number of monitoring times included in the monitoring period. Indicates the first The photovoltaic inverter during the monitoring period The light intensity at each monitoring time Indicates the first The photovoltaic inverter during the monitoring period The light intensity at each monitoring time This represents a constant whose value ranges from 0.001 to 0.01 (avoiding zero in the denominator). Indicates the first The photovoltaic inverter during the monitoring period Light intensity change factor corresponding to each monitoring time.

[0037] The process of analyzing the proportion of harmonic energy in the monitoring voltage signals of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid during the monitoring period to determine the harmonic interference characteristic value of each photovoltaic inverter includes: During the monitoring period, the monitoring voltage signal of each photovoltaic inverter is subjected to fast Fourier transform to obtain the voltage spectrum data of each photovoltaic inverter. Based on the voltage spectrum data of each photovoltaic inverter, determine the fundamental voltage energy and total voltage energy of each photovoltaic inverter; Calculate the difference between the total voltage energy and the fundamental voltage energy of each photovoltaic inverter to obtain the voltage harmonic energy of each photovoltaic inverter; Calculate the ratio of voltage harmonic energy to total voltage energy for each photovoltaic inverter to obtain the harmonic interference characteristic value for each photovoltaic inverter.

[0038] Wherein, the fundamental voltage energy is the square of the amplitude of the fundamental frequency (50Hz) in the voltage spectrum data of the corresponding photovoltaic inverter, and the total voltage energy is the sum of the squares of the amplitudes of each harmonic frequency in the voltage spectrum data of the corresponding photovoltaic inverter. In this invention, the harmonic frequency is an integer multiple (greater than or equal to 2) of the fundamental frequency.

[0039] It should be understood that the larger the harmonic interference characteristic value, the more severe the harmonic interference reflected in the transmitted voltage data of the corresponding photovoltaic inverter.

[0040] For example, the first in the photovoltaic grid Harmonic interference characteristic value of a photovoltaic inverter It can be represented as:

[0041] in, Indicates the first The amplitude of the fundamental frequency in the voltage spectrum data of a photovoltaic inverter. Indicates the first The voltage fundamental energy of a photovoltaic inverter Indicates the first Total voltage energy of each photovoltaic inverter.

[0042] Specifically, determining the external interference index of each photovoltaic inverter based on its light intensity variation characteristic value and harmonic interference characteristic value includes: The light intensity variation characteristic value of each photovoltaic inverter is normalized to obtain the light intensity variation normalized value of each photovoltaic inverter, wherein the light intensity variation characteristic value and the light intensity variation normalized value are positively correlated. The normalized value of light intensity variation and the harmonic interference characteristic value of each photovoltaic inverter are weighted and calculated to obtain the external interference index of each photovoltaic inverter. The weight of the harmonic interference characteristic value is greater than the weight of the normalized value of light intensity variation.

[0043] In this invention, the characteristic value of light intensity variation of photovoltaic inverter is normalized to a range of 0-1, thereby eliminating the dimensional difference between light intensity data and spectral energy data and ensuring the accuracy of the calculated external interference index.

[0044] For example, the first in the photovoltaic grid External interference index of a photovoltaic inverter It can be represented as:

[0045] in, This represents the weight corresponding to the normalized value of the light intensity change. The weights corresponding to the harmonic interference eigenvalues ​​are represented. Indicates the first Normalized value of light intensity variation of a photovoltaic inverter This is a natural constant. In this example, based on experience, we can... and Set them to 0.3 and 0.7 respectively.

[0046] Step S2: Analyze the circuit impedance and reactive power changes of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid to determine the internal interference index of each photovoltaic inverter.

[0047] Specifically, the analysis of the circuit impedance and reactive power changes corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic power grid, and the determination of the internal interference index of each photovoltaic inverter, includes: During the monitoring period, the degree of reactive power fluctuation of each photovoltaic inverter is analyzed, and the power fluctuation characteristic value of each photovoltaic inverter is determined. The circuit impedance of each photovoltaic inverter is normalized to obtain the impedance characteristic value of each photovoltaic inverter. The internal interference index of each photovoltaic inverter is determined based on the power fluctuation characteristic value and impedance characteristic value of each photovoltaic inverter.

[0048] The circuit impedance of a photovoltaic inverter is specifically the equivalent impedance of the power branch where the photovoltaic inverter is located (a branch consisting of its corresponding photovoltaic power generation unit and several loads powered by the photovoltaic power generation unit).

[0049] The power fluctuation characteristic value is positively correlated with the internal interference index, and the impedance characteristic value is negatively correlated with the internal interference index.

[0050] Specifically, by analyzing the fluctuation of reactive power output by each photovoltaic inverter, the degree of change in the load and / or operating status of the photovoltaic power generation unit in the power branch where the photovoltaic inverter is located can be assessed. The higher the fluctuation of reactive power output by the photovoltaic inverter, the more frequent the changes in the operating status of each device in the power branch where the photovoltaic inverter is located. In this case, the droop coefficient of the photovoltaic inverter should be increased to adapt to the frequent changes in the operating status of each device in the power branch where the photovoltaic inverter is located, so as to improve the response speed of reactive voltage control.

[0051] The circuit impedance of a photovoltaic (PV) inverter reflects its sensitivity to reactive power voltage regulation. The smaller the circuit impedance, the weaker the sensitivity of the PV inverter to reactive power voltage regulation. In this case, increasing the droop factor of the PV inverter adaptively can improve its sensitivity to reactive power voltage regulation, thereby improving the accuracy of adjusting the reactive power voltage output by the PV inverter. On the other hand, the larger the circuit impedance, the stronger the sensitivity of the PV inverter to reactive power voltage regulation. In this case, appropriately reducing the droop factor of the PV inverter can avoid the problem of oversensitivity to reactive power voltage regulation, thereby avoiding sudden changes in reactive power voltage during regulation and ensuring the overall operational stability of the photovoltaic power grid.

[0052] For example, the first in the photovoltaic grid Impedance characteristic value of a photovoltaic inverter It can be represented as:

[0053] in, Indicates the first The circuit impedance of a photovoltaic inverter This represents the largest circuit impedance among the multiple photovoltaic inverters in the photovoltaic power grid.

[0054] Furthermore, the step of analyzing the reactive power fluctuation of each photovoltaic inverter during the monitoring period and determining the power fluctuation characteristic value of each photovoltaic inverter includes: During the monitoring period, the dispersion coefficient of reactive power of each photovoltaic inverter is determined as the power fluctuation characteristic value of each photovoltaic inverter.

[0055] In the above setup, by collecting multiple reactive power data from each photovoltaic inverter at multiple monitoring times and calculating the dispersion coefficient of the reactive power of each photovoltaic inverter, the power fluctuation of each photovoltaic inverter can be quickly and accurately quantified.

[0056] For example, the first in the photovoltaic grid Power fluctuation characteristics of a photovoltaic inverter It can be represented as:

[0057] in, Indicates the first The standard deviation of multiple reactive power data collected by a photovoltaic inverter during the monitoring period. Indicates the first The average value of multiple reactive power data collected by a photovoltaic inverter during the monitoring period.

[0058] The first in the photovoltaic grid Internal interference index of a photovoltaic inverter It can be represented as:

[0059] in, This represents the Sigmoid function.

[0060] Step S3: Correct the initial droop coefficient corresponding to the external interference index and internal interference index of each photovoltaic inverter to obtain the target droop coefficient of each photovoltaic inverter.

[0061] Specifically, the initial droop coefficient for each photovoltaic inverter is the droop coefficient determined for each photovoltaic inverter based on the droop control strategy provided by existing technology.

[0062] In this invention, the initial droop coefficient ranges from [0.01, 0.05], and users can make an adaptive selection based on the actual voltage conditions of the photovoltaic grid where each photovoltaic inverter is located.

[0063] Specifically, the step of correcting the initial droop coefficient corresponding to the external interference index and internal interference index of each photovoltaic inverter to obtain the target droop coefficient of each photovoltaic inverter includes: Based on the external interference index of each photovoltaic inverter, an external interference correction value is determined for each photovoltaic inverter. When the external interference index is greater than or equal to the index threshold, the corresponding external interference correction value is a first value. When the external interference index is less than the index threshold, the corresponding external interference correction value is a second value. The first value is greater than the second value, and the second value is greater than or equal to 1. Calculate the product of the external interference correction value, the internal interference index and the corresponding initial droop coefficient for each photovoltaic inverter to obtain the target droop coefficient for each photovoltaic inverter.

[0064] In the above settings, the strength of harmonic interference is distinguished by setting the exponential threshold, and the external interference correction value of the initial droop coefficient is dynamically adjusted according to the different strengths of harmonic interference to suppress the over-correction problem in the case of weak harmonic interference.

[0065] In application, the second value can be set to a fixed value, while the first value can be set to a variable value (dynamically adjusted according to the value of the external interference index) to suppress the overcorrection problem under weak harmonic interference while dynamically adapting to the correction requirements under strong harmonic interference.

[0066] For example, the first in the photovoltaic grid External interference correction value for a photovoltaic inverter It can be represented as:

[0067] in, This indicates the aforementioned index threshold (based on experience). The value can be set to 0.3).

[0068] Furthermore, the first in the photovoltaic grid Target droop coefficient for a photovoltaic inverter It can be represented as:

[0069] in, Indicates the first The initial droop factor of a photovoltaic inverter.

[0070] Step S4: Control the reactive voltage of the photovoltaic inverters in the photovoltaic grid according to the target droop coefficient of each photovoltaic inverter.

[0071] Specifically, after determining the target droop coefficient for each photovoltaic inverter based on the aforementioned process, the target droop coefficient for each photovoltaic inverter, along with the standard reactive voltage, standard reactive power, and reactive power limiting of each photovoltaic inverter, are input into the control module (also known as the control chip) of the corresponding photovoltaic inverter. The chip then calculates the required reactive power based on its own droop control algorithm and executes the output, thereby completing the control of the corresponding reactive voltage.

[0072] In summary, this invention analyzes the changes in illuminance in the illuminated areas corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter in a photovoltaic power grid, as well as the harmonic interference intensity in the monitoring voltage signals of each photovoltaic inverter, to dynamically assess the severity of external interference to each photovoltaic inverter from both the illuminance and harmonic interference dimensions. Furthermore, it analyzes the changes in circuit impedance and reactive power corresponding to each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic power grid to dynamically assess the severity of internal disturbances caused by the inverter's own structure from both impedance and reactive power dimensions. Finally, it comprehensively corrects the initial droop coefficient of each photovoltaic inverter by integrating external interference and internal disturbances, determining a target droop coefficient suitable for each inverter's actual operating conditions. Based on this, it controls the reactive voltage of the photovoltaic inverters within the photovoltaic power grid, thereby improving the overall reactive power control effect of the photovoltaic power grid.

[0073] This invention also provides a reactive power and voltage control system for photovoltaic inverters, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the reactive power and voltage control system 200 for the photovoltaic inverter includes: The external interference analysis module 201 analyzes the changes in light intensity in the corresponding light areas of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid, as well as the harmonic interference intensity in the monitoring voltage signals of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid, and determines the external interference index of each photovoltaic inverter. The internal interference analysis module 202 is used to analyze the circuit impedance and reactive power changes of each photovoltaic inverter in the photovoltaic grid and determine the internal interference index of each photovoltaic inverter. The droop coefficient determination module 203 is used to correct the corresponding initial droop coefficient based on the external interference index and internal interference index of each photovoltaic inverter, so as to obtain the target droop coefficient of each photovoltaic inverter. The control module 204 is used to control the reactive voltage of the photovoltaic inverters in the photovoltaic grid according to the target droop coefficient of each photovoltaic inverter.
