Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to, but is not limited to, the field of grid converter technology, and particularly to a mode switching method, device and medium for a grid converter. Background Technology

[0002] Driven by the rapid development of the new energy industry, new power systems require sufficient inertia to maintain stable operation. Fluctuations or collapses in DC bus voltage will adversely affect the absorption of new energy and the stable operation of the DC grid, as inertia is a key factor in maintaining the stability of the DC bus voltage. Current power systems use grid-type converters connected via DC buses to maintain the stability of the DC bus voltage (i.e., the output DC voltage). Grid-type converters mainly stabilize the DC bus voltage through droop control combined with low-pass filters, virtual DC synchronous machine control, and virtual capacitor control. The energy storage characteristics and dynamic energy release characteristics of the simulated DC capacitors in these three existing technologies achieve dynamic power support or inertial support, meaning that the control mechanisms are consistent in principle. However, in actual operation, there are often situations where the operating mode (power / voltage) switches directly, i.e., sudden load changes. The initial full response equation is calculated using the reference operating point corresponding to the rated voltage as a benchmark. However, the sudden load change causes a deviation in the rated voltage, further leading to errors in the initial full response equation of the grid-type converter calculated using the reference operating point corresponding to the rated voltage as the calculation benchmark. This makes it impossible to accurately describe the inertial response process of the grid-type converter under external step disturbances, resulting in DC bus voltage surges and affecting the stable operation of the DC grid. Existing technologies passively adjust the inertia and damping coefficients through preset parameters, which easily induces oscillations and surges in power or DC bus voltage, leading to instability in the DC grid.

Based on the accurate full response equation, the calculation of the grid-type converter's target steady-state point is then performed. The accuracy of the target steady-state point is improved after the step disturbance of mode switching. Then, steady-state operation analysis is performed on the first mode and the second mode according to the full response equation to obtain the first curve corresponding to the first mode and the second curve corresponding to the second mode. Voltage impulse analysis is then performed on the first curve and the second curve to obtain the first switching point corresponding to the first curve and the second switching point corresponding to the second curve.

Based on the accurate target steady-state point, the operating point is actively adjusted to switch modes by combining the low-impact first switching point and the second switching point, thereby mitigating the oscillation and impulse of power or DC bus voltage and improving the stability of the DC grid.

[0011] Driven by the rapid development of the new energy industry, new power systems require sufficient inertia to maintain stable operation. Fluctuations or collapses in DC bus voltage will adversely affect the absorption of new energy and the stable operation of the DC grid, as inertia is a key factor in maintaining the stability of the DC bus voltage.

[0012] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a mode switching method, device, and medium for a grid-type converter, which can improve the stability of the DC power grid.

[0013] The mode switching method for a grid-type converter according to this application is applied to a power grid control system. The operating modes of the grid-type converter include a first mode and a second mode. The mode switching method for the grid-type converter includes: introducing an arbitrary initial operating point corresponding to the grid-type converter to rewrite the motion equation corresponding to the grid-type converter to obtain a voltage dynamic equation; performing a step analysis on the voltage dynamic equation to obtain the full response equation corresponding to the grid-type converter; calculating the target steady-state point corresponding to the grid-type converter after being subjected to a step disturbance of mode switching; performing steady-state operation analysis on the first mode and the second mode according to the full response equation to obtain a first curve corresponding to the first mode and a second curve corresponding to the second mode, and performing voltage impulse analysis on the first curve and the second curve to obtain a first switching point corresponding to the first curve and a second switching point corresponding to the second curve; and switching the grid-type converter according to the target steady-state point, the first switching point, and the second switching point. This application first introduces an arbitrary initial operating point corresponding to the grid-type converter to rewrite the motion equation of the grid-type converter, obtaining a voltage dynamic equation. This equation can measure the impact of mode switching on the offset of the initial operating point, ensuring that the accurate initial operating point is used to rewrite the motion equation of the grid-type converter, resulting in a voltage dynamic equation that accurately describes the dynamic changes in voltage. Then, a step analysis is performed on the voltage dynamic equation to obtain the full response equation of the grid-type converter. Based on the accurate voltage dynamic equation, a step analysis is performed on the voltage dynamic equation to obtain the full response equation of the grid-type converter, which accurately describes the inertial response process of the grid-type converter under external step disturbances. Next, the target steady-state point of the grid-type converter after being subjected to a step disturbance during mode switching is calculated. Based on the accurate full response equation, the calculation of the grid-type converter's target steady-state point is then performed. The accuracy of the target steady-state point is improved after the step disturbance of mode switching. Then, steady-state operation analysis is performed on the first mode and the second mode according to the full response equation to obtain the first curve corresponding to the first mode and the second curve corresponding to the second mode. Voltage impulse analysis is then performed on the first curve and the second curve to obtain the first switching point corresponding to the first curve and the second switching point corresponding to the second curve. The distance between the first switching point and the second switching point is minimized to provide a basis for reducing voltage impulses in subsequent mode switching. The grid-type converter is switched according to the target steady-state point, the first switching point, and the second switching point. Based on the accurate target steady-state point, the operating point is actively adjusted to switch modes by combining the low-impact first switching point and the second switching point, thereby mitigating the oscillation and impulse of power or DC bus voltage and improving the stability of the DC grid.

[0014] This application provides a mode switching method for a grid-connected converter, applied to a power grid control system. The operating modes of the grid-connected converter include a first mode and a second mode, as described below. Figure 1As shown, the mode switching method for a grid-type converter may include, but is not limited to, the following steps: Step S100: By introducing any initial operating point corresponding to the grid-type converter, the motion equation corresponding to the grid-type converter is rewritten to obtain the voltage dynamic equation.

[0015] For example, before rewriting the motion equations of the grid-type converter by introducing any corresponding initial operating point to obtain the voltage dynamic equations, the mode switching method of the grid-type converter further includes: determining the control strategy equations of the grid-type converter based on the topology and virtual synchronous machine control strategy; rewriting the control strategy equations into equivalent equations based on the capacitor equivalent topology of the grid-type converter; and introducing the real-time output DC voltage of the grid-type converter to rewrite the equivalent equations to obtain the motion equations.

[0016] For example, the equations of motion can be derived and determined through the following steps: (I) Determine the topology corresponding to the grid-type converter: Understandably, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the topology of a grid-type converter with DC power supply as input is obtained. The topology of the grid-type converter includes the input DC power supply, filter, switching network and physical capacitor.

[0017] Specifically, the input DC voltage first passes through a filter. The filter utilizes the inductive reactance of an inductor or the capacitive reactance of a capacitor to smooth the input DC voltage, filtering out high-frequency noise and ripple, providing a relatively clean input DC voltage for the subsequent switching network. Then, the controller corresponding to the grid-type converter generates a pulse-width modulation signal to drive the power devices in the switching network according to the required output voltage or power command, thereby adjusting the magnitude and waveform of the output voltage. Because the high-frequency operation of the switching network generates current and voltage ripples on the DC bus, when the switching network is on, the physical capacitor absorbs excess energy to prevent excessive voltage; when the switching network is off, the physical capacitor releases energy to the load to maintain voltage stability. This effectively smooths out voltage fluctuations, ensuring that the final output DC bus voltage (i.e., the output DC voltage) is stable and meets the load requirements.

[0018] (II) Determine the control strategy equations corresponding to the grid-type converter: By analogy with synchronous motors, the control method of grid-type converters is applied, introducing a virtual DC synchronous machine control strategy to achieve the construction and networking of DC bus voltage. Specifically, refer to... Figure 3As shown, the virtual DC synchronous machine control strategy includes a DC voltage control loop, an inner loop control loop, a DC network-based control sub-strategy, and a signal modulation loop. Specifically, the DC voltage control loop provides the DC voltage to achieve closed-loop control, ensuring a stable output DC voltage. The control sub-strategy of the DC voltage control loop can be represented by the following expression: ; in, This is the control sub-strategy for the DC voltage control loop. This is the reference value for the output DC voltage of the grid-type converter. This refers to the real-time output DC voltage corresponding to a grid-type converter. These are the gain parameters corresponding to the grid-type converter; The inner loop control uses inductor current to achieve closed-loop control based on the filter structure, accelerating the response of the DC grid-type converter; the signal modulation loop uses pulse width modulation to generate a modulation signal that the grid-type converter can interpret and execute. The DC-networked control sub-strategy can be represented by the following expression: ; in, For DC-networked control sub-strategy, This is the reference value for the output power of the grid-type converter. This refers to the DC-side output power of the grid-type converter. The inertia coefficient corresponding to the grid-type converter. This refers to the DC-side voltage corresponding to a grid-type converter. For time, This is the damping coefficient corresponding to the grid-type converter.

[0019] It is understood that the inner loop control circuit of the current is assumed to have a fast response capability and can stably track the current reference value. Therefore, the embodiments of this application only consider the voltage and power control loops.

[0020] (III) Determine the equivalent equation: Reference Figure 4As shown, the physical capacitors in a grid-connected converter have relatively small capacitance values, and the inertia simulated by the virtual synchronous machine control strategy is also relatively limited. While the damping coefficient has a small impact on the steady-state characteristics of voltage surges during mode switching in a grid-connected converter, the virtual inertia significantly affects both steady-state and dynamic responses. Furthermore, equivalent analysis ignoring the damping coefficient helps in studying the maximization effect of voltage surges during mode switching under undamped conditions. Therefore, by using a control algorithm to simulate capacitor characteristics in the inverter (i.e., introducing virtual capacitors), the output current capability during power response can be enhanced, thereby supporting the virtual inertia characteristics. Based on this principle, introducing virtual capacitors into the control strategy of a grid-connected converter allows for the further derivation of the equivalent capacitor topology of the grid-connected converter, and the rewriting of the control strategy equations into equivalent equations. Specifically, the expression of the equivalent equations is as follows: ; in, For the virtual capacitor and physical capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter. This refers to the real-time output DC voltage corresponding to a grid-type converter. This refers to the damping coefficient corresponding to the grid-type converter. This refers to the output-side DC current corresponding to a grid-type converter. This refers to the output current corresponding to the grid-type converter.

[0021] Specifically, the virtual and physical capacitances corresponding to a grid-type converter can be represented by the following expressions: ,in, For virtual capacitors, It is a physical capacitor.

[0022] Specifically, the real-time output DC voltage of a grid-type converter satisfies the following expression: ,in, This refers to the real-time output DC voltage corresponding to a grid-type converter. To output the steady-state value of DC voltage in real time.

[0023] (iv) Determine the equations of motion: Combining the equivalent equation with the power equation, the expression for the power equation is as follows: ,in, For power, For voltage, The equation of motion is obtained by multiplying both sides of the equivalent equation by the real-time output DC voltage corresponding to the grid-type converter.

[0024] Specifically, the equation of motion is expressed as follows: ; in, For the virtual capacitor and physical capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter. This refers to the real-time output DC voltage corresponding to a grid-type converter. For time, This refers to the damping coefficient corresponding to the grid-type converter. This refers to the DC-side output power of the grid-type converter. This refers to the output power of the bus capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter.

[0025] It is understandable that the control strategy for grid-type converters can be droop control combined with a low-pass filter, virtual DC synchronous machine control, or virtual capacitor control. These control strategies are all based on inertia and damping coefficients. This application, however, uses a control algorithm to simulate capacitor characteristics in the inverter (i.e., introduces a virtual capacitor), which enhances the output current capability during power response, thereby supporting the virtual inertia characteristics. Based on this principle, introducing a virtual capacitor into the control strategy of the grid-type converter allows for the further derivation of the equivalent capacitor topology of the grid-type converter, and the control strategy equations can be rewritten as equivalent equations. Therefore, the embodiments of this application do not limit the control strategy of the grid-type converter.

[0026] For example, the voltage dynamic equation is expressed by the following formula: ; in, For the virtual capacitor and physical capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter. This refers to the initial output DC voltage of the grid-type converter at its initial operating point, corresponding to steady state. This refers to the real-time output DC voltage corresponding to a grid-type converter. and These are all damping coefficients corresponding to grid-type converters. This refers to the DC-side output power of the grid-type converter. This refers to the output power of the bus capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter.

[0027] For example, the voltage dynamic equation can be derived and determined through the following steps: Assuming that the step response analysis is performed directly based on the equations of motion, the initial total response equation is obtained.

[0028] Specifically, the initial total response equation can be derived and determined through the following steps: Because the DC-side output power and the bus capacitor output power of the grid-type converter satisfy a constant equation in steady state, the constant equation is expressed as follows: ;in, This represents the DC-side output power of the grid-connected converter under steady-state conditions. This represents the bus capacitor output power of a grid-type converter under steady-state conditions.

[0029] The difference between the equations of motion and the constant equations yields the DC bus voltage characteristic equation, which reflects the bus voltage variation characteristics under conditions of sudden load changes (i.e., mode switching in a grid-type converter). Specifically, the DC bus voltage characteristic equation is expressed as follows: ; in, For the virtual capacitor and physical capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter. This is the DC bus voltage scalar corresponding to a grid-type converter. This refers to the real-time output DC voltage corresponding to a grid-type converter. This refers to the damping coefficient corresponding to the grid-type converter. This refers to the DC-side output power of the grid-type converter. This refers to the output power of the bus capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter.

[0030] The DC bus voltage characteristic equation is normalized to obtain the initial total response equation. Specifically, the initial total response equation is expressed as follows: ; in, For the virtual capacitor and physical capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter. This is the DC bus voltage scalar corresponding to a grid-type converter. This refers to the real-time output DC voltage corresponding to a grid-type converter. This refers to the damping coefficient corresponding to the grid-type converter. For grid-type converters, the power scalar is... This refers to the DC-side output power of the grid-type converter. This refers to the output power of the bus capacitor corresponding to a grid-type converter. The inertia coefficient corresponding to the grid-type converter. for per unit quantity, for per unit quantity, for The per-unit quantity.

[0031] According to the initial total response equation, the initial total response equation only considers the operating point of the DC bus voltage at the rated voltage as the reference operating point. When the load changes (i.e., ... (Changes occur), and there is an error between the actual initial operating point and the reference operating point of the grid-type converter. If the error is ignored and the reference operating point corresponding to the rated voltage is still used as the calculation benchmark, the initial full response equation of the grid-type converter will have an error, and the inertial response process of the grid-type converter under external step disturbance cannot be accurately described.

[0032] Therefore, considering the influence of the initial operating point of the grid converter on the grid converter, we introduce any initial operating point of the grid converter as a reference point, and rewrite the motion equation of the grid converter to obtain the voltage dynamic equation.

[0033] Specifically, the voltage dynamic equation can be derived and determined through the following steps: First of all, with Substituting any initial operating point into the equation of motion, we obtain the following expression: ; in, For the virtual capacitor and physical capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter.

This refers to the DC-side output power of the grid-type converter. The output power of the bus capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter; Then, further substituting the change in the output DC voltage corresponding to the grid-type converter into the above expression, we obtain the following expression: ; in, For the virtual capacitor and physical capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter. This refers to the initial output DC voltage of the grid-type converter at its initial operating point, corresponding to steady state.

[0036] For example, the total response equation is expressed by the following formula: ; in, This represents the real-time output DC voltage of the grid-type converter at time t. This refers to the initial output DC voltage of the grid-type converter at its initial operating point, corresponding to steady state.

[0039] Finally, the above expression is further simplified to obtain the full response expression.

[0040] Step S120: Calculate the target steady-state point of the grid-type converter after it is subjected to a step disturbance during mode switching.

[0041] For example, the target steady-state point of the grid-type converter after being subjected to a step disturbance of mode switching is calculated. The mode switching method of the grid-type converter includes: calculating the DC bus voltage change law of the grid-type converter after being subjected to a step disturbance of mode switching according to the full response equation; and determining the target steady-state point of the grid-type converter according to the full response equation and the bus voltage change law.

This refers to the initial output DC voltage of the grid-type converter at its initial operating point, corresponding to steady state. This refers to the damping coefficient corresponding to the grid-type converter. It is a natural constant. For time.

[0044] Then, based on the slope of the target output DC voltage change, the expression for the initial value of the slope of the target output DC voltage change at t=0 is as follows: ; in, Let be the initial slope of the target output DC voltage corresponding to the grid-type converter at time t=0. This is the scaling factor corresponding to the step disturbance. This refers to the DC-side output power of the grid-type converter. For the virtual capacitor and physical capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter. This is the initial output DC voltage corresponding to the steady state at the initial operating point of the grid-type converter.

[0045] That is, when a load change occurs (i.e., mode switching), the initial slope value and the load change (i.e.) The slope of the DC bus voltage change gradually approaches 0 as time goes on, determined by the step disturbance generated during mode switching, the initial output DC voltage, and the virtual and physical capacitors corresponding to the grid-type converter, and will stabilize at the target steady-state point.

[0046] For example, the following expression is used to represent the variation law of DC bus voltage: ; in, Let be the initial slope of the target output DC voltage corresponding to the grid-type converter at time t=0. This is the scaling factor corresponding to the step disturbance. This refers to the DC-side output power of the grid-type converter. For the virtual capacitor and physical capacitor corresponding to the grid-type converter. This is the initial output DC voltage corresponding to the steady state at the initial operating point of the grid-type converter.

[0047] Understandably, referring to Figure 5 As shown, when the load changes abruptly (i.e. As a step disturbance generated during mode switching, due to the existence Therefore, the output DC voltage corresponding to the initial operating point will not drop directly, but will decrease smoothly and slowly with an initial slope value, the expression for which is as follows: In other words, the DC bus voltage changes according to the initial slope value. As time progresses, the output DC voltage corresponding to the initial operating point gradually approaches the target output DC voltage corresponding to the target steady-state point, with a settling time of [time value missing]. .

[0048] Step S130: Perform steady-state operation analysis on the first mode and the second mode according to the full response equation to obtain the first curve corresponding to the first mode and the second curve corresponding to the second mode. Perform voltage impact analysis on the first curve and the second curve to obtain the first switching point corresponding to the first curve and the second switching point corresponding to the second curve.

[0049] For example, firstly, the steady-state operating curve of the grid-type converter in the first mode is calculated according to the full response equation, obtaining the first curve corresponding to the first mode. Then, the steady-state operating curve of the grid-type converter in the second mode is calculated according to the full response equation, obtaining the second curve corresponding to the second mode. This accurately describes the first curve of the steady-state operation in the first mode and the curve of the accurate operation in the second mode, providing a foundation for smooth steady-state switching in subsequent modes. Then, the first slope corresponding to each steady-state operating point in the first curve is calculated, reflecting the voltage surge level at that point. Simultaneously, the second slope corresponding to each steady-state operating point in the second curve is calculated, reflecting the voltage surge level at that point. Next, a first switching point with the minimum voltage surge is selected from the steady-state operating points in the first curve based on the first slope, and a second switching point with the minimum voltage surge is selected from the steady-state operating points in the second curve based on the second slope. In this way, both the first switching point and the second switching point in this embodiment are on the steady-state operating curve, and the distance between the first switching point and the second switching point is minimized to reduce voltage surges.

[0050] Step S140: The grid-type converter is switched in mode according to the target steady-state point, the first switching point, and the second switching point.

[0051] For example, refer to Figure 6As shown, taking a grid-type converter in its first mode as an example, with its initial operating point at point A on the first curve, its first switching point on the first curve at point B, its second switching point on the second curve from the first mode to the second mode at point C, and its target steady-state point on the second curve at point D, the grid-type converter returns to a steady-state state. Starting from point A, the output power is actively reduced, and along the first curve, the DC bus voltage slides to point B without overshoot. Then, the converter switches from point B on the first curve to point C on the second curve, reducing the switching impact between modes. Finally, starting from point C, the output power is actively increased, and along the second curve, the DC bus voltage slides to point D without overshoot. Therefore, compared to the prior art where the converter directly switches from point A to point D, the impact of mode switching can be reduced.
