Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of converter control, and specifically relates to a low-communication-cost network converter control method, system, equipment and medium, which is suitable for the coordinated operation of multiple network converters in islanded or weakly interconnected systems. Background Technology
[0002] Grid-based converters are widely used in microgrids and weakly interconnected systems with a high proportion of renewable energy due to their ability to actively establish voltage and frequency references and provide virtual inertia and voltage support. To ensure the coordinated operation of multiple grid-based converters and achieve frequency stability, voltage recovery, and power distribution, control strategies are generally divided into virtual synchronous machine control, droop control, model predictive control, and data-driven control based on reinforcement learning. The first two methods are simple in structure and easy to implement, but the control parameters are fixed and usually rely on high-frequency communication to complete secondary voltage and frequency recovery; while model predictive control and data-driven methods can adapt to uncertainties, they require centralized computing or high-bandwidth real-time data support.
[0003] The stable operation of microgrids and weakly interconnected systems highly depends on the reliability and scalability of the control architecture. Centralized control suffers from single-point failure risks and poor scalability, and has been gradually replaced by distributed control. Distributed control achieves global objectives through information exchange between local controllers, improving system flexibility and fault tolerance. However, traditional distributed methods often employ fixed-period sampling and full-state communication. Frequent data exchange not only consumes a large amount of communication bandwidth but also easily leads to problems such as delays and packet loss, affecting system dynamic performance and increasing network security risks.
[0004] Especially in weak power grids dominated by large-scale GFM (Geostationary Ground Facility), the update frequency of control commands directly affects system stability. Traditional periodic communication strategies suffer from redundant data transmission issues, while existing event-triggered methods still have shortcomings in terms of complete distribution, lack of global parameter dependence, and explicit performance lower bound guarantees. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a grid-type converter control method that combines frequency-voltage stability control, power sharing, dynamic adaptive triggering, and safety protection functions under low communication conditions to meet the stable operation requirements under environments with limited communication, changing grid topology, and disturbances. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address at least one of the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a low-communication-cost grid-type converter control method, system, device, and medium. It is applicable to the collaborative operation of grid-type converters in islanded or weakly interconnected power systems powered by 100% renewable energy. It can provide key data support for grid-type control of the power grid and has significant implications in the field of grid-type control of power systems.
[0006] To achieve the objective of this invention, a low-communication-cost network converter control method is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0007] A low-communication-cost network converter control method includes the following steps:
[0008] S1. Construct a frequency-voltage-power closed-loop control model and preset the operating parameter range;
[0009] S2. Real-time collection of local running volume, comparison with the previous broadcast value, calculation of error norm, and combination with exponential decay threshold to form a trigger function to determine whether to trigger a communication event;
[0010] S3. When a communication event occurs, estimate the system characteristic quantities and the upper bound of the coupling strength based on local measurement results;
[0011] S4. Dynamically adjust the exponential decay threshold and trigger function parameters based on the stability margin to ensure the lower bound of the event interval;
[0012] S5. Based on the local droop control, the neighbor node status correction item is superimposed and updated only when the event is triggered, so as to realize the coordinated recovery of frequency and voltage of multiple machines and power distribution.
[0013] S6. Implement soft / hard limiting on voltage, frequency, and power. When the operating point approaches the over-limit range, increase the communication trigger frequency. After the over-limit is released, return to low communication mode.
[0014] S7. After the disturbance is eliminated, continue in low communication mode until the next trigger condition is met.
[0015] Furthermore, the frequency-voltage-power closed-loop control model includes:
[0016] Based on the system's rated frequency, the frequency command is calculated using the primary frequency droop coefficient according to the active power deviation.
[0017] Based on the system rated voltage, the voltage command is calculated using the voltage droop factor according to the reactive power deviation. ;
[0018] A low-pass filter is used to extract the average value of active power and reactive power, and it is compared with the frequency command and voltage command to obtain the deviation input to the droop control.
[0019] The inner loop controls the instantaneous value of the converter's output current, while the outer loop controls the converter's output voltage.
[0020] Furthermore, step S2 includes the following sub-steps:
[0021] Acquire local operating parameters, including real-time frequency, bus voltage, active power and reactive power, to form a set of operating parameters;
[0022] Save the operating parameters from the last external broadcast and calculate the weighted Euclidean norm error between the current operating quantity and the last broadcast value;
[0023] The exponential decay threshold is calculated based on the initial threshold, the minimum allowable threshold, and the decay coefficient.
[0024] Trigger function formation: If the weighted Euclidean norm error is greater than the exponential decay threshold, it is determined to be an event that requires communication, and the current set of operating parameters is immediately broadcast to neighboring nodes and the trigger time is recorded; if the weighted Euclidean norm error is less than or equal to the exponential decay threshold, it remains silent and does not send data.
[0025] Furthermore, in step S3, when a communication event occurs, a distributed consensus algorithm is used to estimate the system characteristic quantities and the upper bound of coupling strength based on local measurement results, specifically as follows:
[0026] Based on the set of operating parameters and droop control parameters obtained from the current sampling, calculate the local linearized state-space model;
[0027] The maximum real part eigenvalue and condition number are obtained by calculating the closed-loop eigenvalue set of the system matrix locally.
[0028] When an event is triggered, the maximum real part eigenvalue and the condition number are sent to the directly adjacent node via point-to-point communication. The adjacent node simultaneously sends its eigenvalues. After the two sides exchange them, the maximum consistency algorithm is iterated to obtain the maximum real part eigenvalue and the maximum condition number of the entire network.
[0029] Based on the maximum real part eigenvalue and the maximum condition number of the entire network, the upper bound of the coupling strength of the system is obtained.
[0030] Further, in step S4, the grid-type converter receives the maximum real part eigenvalue and the maximum condition number of the entire network calculated in step S3, and combines them with the dynamic correction event triggering criterion for the upper bound of coupling strength, including:
[0031] The stability margin coefficient is defined based on the maximum real part eigenvalue of the entire network and a preset stability security threshold.
[0032] The stability margin coefficient and the decision boundary for sufficient or insufficient margin are compared to adjust the initial value parameter of the exponential decay threshold.
[0033] Furthermore, step S5 includes the following sub-steps:
[0034] Using the frequency-voltage-power closed-loop control model established in step S1, calculate the frequency command and voltage command respectively;
[0035] Correction terms for voltage and frequency are constructed based on the state differences between adjacent nodes;
[0036] Active power and reactive power are allocated proportionally respectively;
[0037] Overlay the corrections onto the local control baseline:
[0038]
[0039] in, , To incorporate the frequency and voltage control commands with distributed correction, , These are the correction gain coefficients for frequency and voltage, respectively. For frequency commands, This is a voltage command.
[0040] Furthermore, step S7 includes:
[0041] Continuously monitor local workload and the status information of neighboring nodes. If all workloads are within a safe range and the deviation from the reference value is less than the static deviation threshold, it is determined that the disturbance has been eliminated.
[0042] Once the disturbance is eliminated, the initial threshold for event triggering is restored to the set normal threshold value, the threshold attenuation coefficient is set to a low value, the triggering interval is extended, and communication is only performed when the triggering function of step S2 is triggered.
[0043] If no event is triggered within a preset time, a health status packet is periodically sent to neighboring nodes.
[0044] The present invention provides a low-communication-cost network-type converter control system, comprising the following modules:
[0045] The local measurement and execution module is used to collect voltage and current signals at the output of the grid-type converter in real time, calculate instantaneous active and reactive power, detect local operating frequency and bus voltage, input the collected operating quantities into the local execution unit, and drive the power conversion unit to perform regulation according to control commands.
[0046] The event-triggered communication module is used to calculate the deviation norm between the current running volume and the previous broadcast value, generate an exponential decay threshold value, determine whether the threshold is exceeded and trigger a communication event, and send the current running data to the neighboring node through a point-to-point communication link;
[0047] The adaptive parameter estimation module is used to calculate the linearized system matrix based on the local operating state and obtain the maximum real part eigenvalue and condition number. It also exchanges information with neighboring nodes to obtain the maximum eigenvalue and condition number of the entire network and estimates the upper bound of the system coupling strength.
[0048] The trigger parameter update module is used to determine whether the system state needs to increase or decrease the trigger frequency based on the stability margin coefficient, dynamically adjust the initial threshold value and exponential decay coefficient, and set and execute the minimum time interval of events.
[0049] The distributed coordination control module is used to calculate frequency and voltage commands based on local power deviation, receive the operating status of neighboring nodes, calculate frequency and voltage correction terms, allocate active and reactive power reference values according to power ratio, and output the corrected control commands to the local execution module to realize multi-machine collaborative operation.
[0050] The protection and limiting module is used to monitor frequency, voltage, active power, and reactive power in real time and compare them with preset limits. When the limit is approaching, a soft limiting strategy is executed. When the limit is exceeded, a hard limiting or emergency shutdown strategy is executed. During the over-limit period, the communication trigger frequency is increased, and after the limit is lifted, the low communication mode is restored.
