Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of VSG power quality technology, and in particular to a method for suppressing VSG harmonic current impedance reshaping. Background Technology
[0002] Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) technology, by simulating the electromechanical transient characteristics of traditional synchronous generators, can provide the necessary voltage and frequency support for the power grid, and has become an effective technical approach to solve the stability problem of high-proportion renewable energy grid connection. However, most renewable energy power generation systems based on power electronic devices are located in remote suburban distribution networks, which are rich in harmonic voltage content. At the same time, an increasing number of nonlinear loads are connected to suburban distribution networks, introducing a large amount of harmonic current. Both of these factors can lead to severe distortion of the VSG grid-connected current, restricting the friendliness of VSG connection to suburban distribution networks.
[0003] For harmonic currents introduced by nonlinear loads, the traditional solution is to use current-controlled harmonic compensation methods with the same amplitude but opposite phase to cancel the harmonic current. However, most VSGs are voltage-controlled, lacking internal current and AC voltage control links, making traditional harmonic current compensation methods difficult to apply. While voltage-controlled harmonic compensation methods that introduce negative PCC voltage feedforward to reduce VSG output impedance can absorb a large amount of nonlinear load harmonic current, thus reducing grid harmonic current, the harmonic current generated by grid harmonic voltage will increase. Therefore, it can be seen that the grid harmonic voltage and nonlinear load harmonic current mutually restrict the requirements of VSG output harmonic impedance, and traditional harmonic current suppression methods struggle to resolve this contradiction. Summary of the Invention

[0015] This invention provides a VSG harmonic current impedance reshaping suppression method, solving the power quality problem of VSG connection to suburban distribution networks. By implementing negative and positive feedforward control on the PCC voltage and the additional voltage of the inserted small inductor, respectively, the output impedance from the PCC to the VSG and the impedance from the grid side to the VSG are reshaped. Specifically, the equivalent harmonic impedance from the grid side to the VSG is increased, and the output harmonic impedance from the PCC to the VSG is decreased, thereby weakening the harmonic current generated by the harmonic voltage of the distribution network. At the same time, the VSG absorbs more nonlinear load harmonic current, thereby reducing the harmonic content of the VSG grid-connected current and improving the friendliness of VSG connection to the distribution network.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, the VSG impedance reshaping harmonic current suppression method mainly includes passive and active components to change the output impedance of the VSG and the grid impedance.

At this time, the harmonic components of the VSG grid-connected current are... i oh The specific derivation process is as follows: when u gh When =0, the VSG outputs harmonic current. i oh for: (5) (6) Combining equations (5) and (6), the equivalent harmonic impedance from PCC to VSG can be obtained: (7) From equation (7), it can be seen that the VSG harmonic domain model at this time is equivalent to... Z out Connect a virtual impedance in parallel, so that Z out PincerZ out / ( m - bn Under these circumstances, as long as a reasonable design is implemented... n and m, This reduces the VSG output harmonic impedance, allowing nonlinear load harmonic currents to flow to the VSG. At this point, the grid-side harmonic current is: (8) like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, only the harmonic domain equivalent circuit of the proposed method under grid harmonic voltage is considered. In this case, the specific derivation process of the VSG grid-connected current harmonic component ioh is as follows: at this time i Loadh =0, then the harmonic current on the grid side is: (9) In the formula, Z total = sL s + Z out .
[0022] According to KCL theorem: (10) By combining equations (1) and (10), we can obtain: (11) Combining equations (9) and (11), we obtain the equivalent harmonic impedance from the power grid to the VSG: (12) H Gain coefficient: (13) From equations (12) and (13), we can obtain i Loadh When = 0, the equivalent model of VSG in the harmonic domain is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. At this point, the equivalent harmonic impedance from the passive inductor connection point to the VSG is amplified. H Times. When satisfied n =1+ m hour, H Approaching infinity, that is Z total,eq As the voltage approaches infinity, there will be no path for grid harmonic voltages, resulting in almost no harmonic current. At this point, the grid-side harmonic current is: (14) comprehensive Figure 4 and Figure 5In both cases, by applying the superposition theorem and adding equations (8) and (14), we can obtain the total harmonic components of the grid-connected current: (15) To achieve a VSG grid-connected current distortion rate of less than 5%, m and n Must meet: (16) Under the conditions of equation (16), H When the value is infinite, equation (15) can be transformed into: (17) At this time, reasonable design n By adjusting the passive inductance value, the output impedance from the PCC to the VSG can be reduced, while the impedance from the VSG to the distribution network can be increased. This allows the VSG to absorb more harmonic currents from nonlinear loads, while suppressing harmonic currents generated by harmonic voltages in suburban distribution networks. This, in turn, improves the grid connection current quality of the VSG connected to the suburban distribution network.
[0023] This invention addresses the contradiction between the constraints of distribution network harmonic voltage and nonlinear load harmonic current on grid-connected current quality when VSG is connected to a suburban distribution network. It adopts a collaborative architecture of passive inductor series and dual harmonic feedforward control. By introducing an additional voltage variable through a small passive inductor connected in series between the common bus and the suburban distribution network, and then performing negative feedforward control on the main second harmonic voltage of the common bus and positive feedforward control on the main second harmonic components of the additional voltage, a bidirectional impedance reshaping is achieved, which reduces the output harmonic impedance from the common bus to the VSG and increases the equivalent harmonic impedance from the VSG to the suburban distribution network. This enhances the VSG's ability to absorb nonlinear load harmonic current and weakens the harmonic current caused by the distribution network harmonic voltage, ultimately improving the grid-connected current quality of the VSG and its grid-connection friendliness.
[0024] 1. Effectively resolves the core contradiction: It resolves the contradiction between the harmonic voltage of the distribution network and the harmonic current of the nonlinear load on the grid-connected current quality when VSG is connected to the suburban distribution network, and makes up for the shortcomings of traditional current-controlled harmonic compensation methods that are not applicable to VSG and traditional voltage-controlled harmonic compensation methods that will increase the harmonic current of the grid.
[0025] 2. Optimize impedance characteristics to achieve bidirectional suppression: By reshaping the bidirectional impedance, on the one hand, the output harmonic impedance from the common bus to the VSG is reduced, enhancing the VSG's ability to absorb harmonic currents from nonlinear loads and reducing the interference of nonlinear loads on the grid-connected current; on the other hand, the equivalent harmonic impedance from the VSG to the suburban distribution network is increased, weakening the harmonic currents caused by harmonic voltages in the distribution network, thereby reducing the harmonic content of the VSG grid-connected current from two aspects.
[0026] 3. Improve grid compatibility and friendliness: Significantly improve the grid-connected current quality of VSG, meet the access requirements of suburban distribution networks for new energy power generation systems, improve the adaptability and friendliness of VSG access to suburban distribution networks, and provide technical support for the stable grid connection of high proportion of new energy in suburban distribution networks.
[0027] 4. The technical solution is practical and reliable: The small passive inductor used is only used to introduce additional voltage variables and does not bear the power transmission of the main circuit. The structure design is simple and has strong compatibility with the voltage control characteristics of VSG. It does not require major modification of the existing VSG system and is easy to apply and promote in engineering.
