Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power quality harmonic analysis technology for centralized wind power plants, and relates to a method, system, equipment and medium for locating harmonic sources in wind farms. Background Technology

[0002] Wind farms contain numerous power electronic devices, which are prone to generating harmonics or interharmonics. Harmonics cause voltage fluctuations and energy waste, and in severe cases, can damage equipment connected to the power grid. Wind farms monitor harmonics using online power quality monitoring devices. These devices are connected to the PCC (Point of Common Coupling) and other critical nodes to monitor the voltage and current, and to track harmonic components in the current and voltage in real time. Once a harmonic source is generated, all monitoring points within the farm can detect it. However, because the primary equipment in a wind farm is often asymmetrical, it is difficult to pinpoint a specific line based on the harmonic amplitude, making harmonic mitigation challenging. Furthermore, for multiple users connected to the PCC, harmonic mitigation follows the principle of "whoever pollutes, mitigates," making it crucial for wind farms to determine whether the harmonic source is on the farm side or the user side. Currently, most wind farms only monitor harmonics at key nodes within the farm, and very few perform harmonic source localization analysis. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for locating harmonic sources in a wind farm, comprising: Identify the voltage and current harmonics exceeding the limits at each node in the wind farm and their corresponding harmonic frequencies; The instantaneous power of the harmonic frequencies exceeding the standard is calculated at all nodes to determine the instantaneous active power of the exceeding harmonics at each node, and the location of the harmonic source is determined based on the direction of the instantaneous active power.

[0005] The wind farm harmonic source location method described in this invention is further improved in that: Furthermore, before determining the excessive voltage and current harmonics and their corresponding harmonic frequencies at each node in the wind farm, the following steps are also included: Voltage and current information of each node in the wind farm is obtained through voltage transformers and current transformers. Discrete Fourier transform is performed on the voltage and current signals at each node in the wind farm to separate the fundamental wave and obtain the harmonic and interharmonic components.

[0006] Furthermore, the process of obtaining voltage and current information of each node in the wind farm through voltage transformers and current transformers is as follows: Obtain voltage information for the outgoing lines and the collecting bus, and obtain current information for each branch of the outgoing lines and the collecting bus.

[0007] Furthermore, in the process of determining the position of the harmonic source based on the direction of the instantaneous active power of the harmonic, when the instantaneous active power of the harmonic is positive, the direction of the harmonic power flow is consistent with the reference direction, and the harmonic source is located above the reference direction; otherwise, the harmonic source is located below the reference direction.

[0008] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a wind farm harmonic source location system, comprising: The first determining module is used to determine the voltage and current harmonics exceeding the standard at each node in the wind farm and their corresponding harmonic frequencies. The second determining module is used to perform instantaneous power calculations for all nodes of the harmonic frequencies exceeding the standard, determine the instantaneous active power of the exceeding harmonics at each node, and determine the location of the harmonic source based on the direction of the instantaneous active power.

[0009] The wind farm harmonic source location system of the present invention is further improved in that: Furthermore, it also includes: The acquisition module is used to acquire voltage and current information of each node in the wind farm through voltage transformers and current transformers. The separation module is used to perform discrete Fourier processing on the voltage and current signals of each node in the wind farm to separate the fundamental wave and obtain the harmonic and interharmonic components.

[0010] Furthermore, the process of obtaining voltage and current information of each node in the wind farm through voltage transformers and current transformers is as follows: Obtain voltage information for the outgoing lines and the collecting bus, and obtain current information for each branch of the outgoing lines and the collecting bus.

[0011] Furthermore, in the process of determining the position of the harmonic source based on the direction of the instantaneous active power of the harmonic, when the instantaneous active power of the harmonic is positive, the direction of the harmonic power flow is consistent with the reference direction, and the harmonic source is located above the reference direction; otherwise, the harmonic source is located below the reference direction.

[0012] In three aspects, the present invention provides a computer device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the wind farm harmonic source location method.

[0013] In four aspects, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the wind farm harmonic source location method.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The wind farm harmonic source location method, system, equipment, and medium described in this invention, in practical operation, acquire raw current and voltage data through the measuring stations PT and CT at each node of the wind farm's PCC (Power Process Control Center). The raw data undergoes DFT processing, and the harmonic content is analyzed based on the raw data to determine if it exceeds the standard. The instantaneous active power of the exceeding frequency harmonics is calculated, and the harmonic source is identified based on the direction of the instantaneous active power of the harmonics at each node. The operation is simple and highly practical.
