Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system technology, and more specifically to a system and method for stability analysis of grid-connected converters based on embedded operating point modeling. Background Technology
[0002] With the large-scale integration of fluctuating power sources such as wind and solar power, and the increasingly complex dynamic characteristics of loads, wide fluctuations in grid strength have become a normal operating characteristic of modern power systems. The small-signal stability of grid-connected converters (GCCs) is highly correlated with grid strength. Therefore, the robustness and adaptability of GCCs to grid strength variations are key factors affecting the safe operation of power systems.
[0003] Grid-following (GFM) control and grid-forming (GFM) control are two typical control modes of GCC. In the field of stability analysis of grid-forming converter systems, most studies are still limited to a static evaluation framework at a single operating point. However, in actual operating conditions, the system operating point often exhibits significant time-varying characteristics, and relying solely on single-point analysis is insufficient to comprehensively characterize the dynamic stability characteristics throughout the entire operating cycle. To quantify the impact of the operating point on stability, existing studies often expand the evaluation scope through discrete multi-point analysis. For example, for illumination-driven power output scenarios, discrete operating points under different illumination intensities are selected to analyze the resulting changes in impedance characteristics, thereby revealing the mechanism by which illumination variables affect system stability.
[0004] Existing stability analysis methods for grid-type converters, such as those based on a single operating point or discrete operating points, employ traditional small-signal linearization. This involves linearizing the nonlinear function at a few specific points. When the operating point shifts, continuing to use this model for analysis will introduce significant errors. In terms of stability characterization, methods based on discrete operating points struggle to provide accurate stability conclusions for operating regions outside the selected operating point. To obtain more accurate stability thresholds, the number of operating points analyzed must be increased, resulting in high computational complexity. Summary of the Invention

[0065] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a system and method for stability analysis of grid converters based on embedded operating point modeling, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0066] This invention is an evolution of traditional stability methods under time-varying conditions. Its core feature is that by explicitly embedding the steady-state operating point variable into the linearization process, a parameterized model is established that can continuously characterize the dynamic characteristics of the system throughout the entire operating range. Stability analysis based on this model can overcome the limitations of traditional methods under time-varying conditions.
[0067] Specifically, compared to the traditional small-signal linearization used in discrete operating point analysis, this paper employs a piecewise linearization method. This method divides the nonlinear function into several intervals, approximates the nonlinear function within each interval, and then combines the resulting piecewise linearized models to form a piecewise linearized model of the nonlinear function. The advantage of this method is that it can model the nonlinear function across its entire domain, rather than just at specific points, thus avoiding the problem of large errors between the linearized model and the nonlinear function when deviating from specific points. The model established in this paper embeds the operating point variable, resulting in a piecewise linearized model when the operating point changes continuously. This process can be seen as the limiting form of the piecewise linearization method, i.e., linearizing the system at infinite operating points. The introduction of the limiting concept allows the obtained linearized model to infinitely approximate the nonlinear system, thus enabling direct analysis of the dynamic characteristics of GCC operation under time-varying conditions, and broadening its applicability.
[0068] Furthermore, based on the linearized model, the influence path of the operating point on the converter can be intuitively seen, such as the transfer function. , and Derived from the abc-dq transform, , , , This stems from power calculations. Changes in operating points such as voltage and current affect coordinate transformations and power calculations, thus impacting system stability. Attached Figure Description
