Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a virtual synchronous machine oscillation suppression method, specifically an improved oscillation suppression method for virtual synchronous machines, belonging to the field of microgrid control technology. Background Technology

[0002] Microgrids are small-scale, decentralized, and independent systems capable of self-control, protection, and management. They can operate in islanded mode or connected to the main power grid. Microgrids help reduce the impact of wind and solar power, which have intermittent, fluctuating, and anti-peak-shaving characteristics, on the main power grid, effectively increasing wind and solar power penetration, reducing grid vulnerability, and making the power system more reliable, cleaner, more economical, and safer. This is of great significance for promoting the sustainable development of the power industry. To overcome the problem of insufficient inertia in islanded microgrids, Virtual Synchronous Generators (VSGs) have been proposed. VSGs introduce the oscillation equations of synchronous generators into their control algorithms, enabling the inverter to simulate both the steady-state and transient characteristics of synchronous generators, providing sufficient inertial support. While maintaining the existing power system architecture, VSGs are becoming the most effective control scheme for enhancing system inertia and improving frequency stability. In recent years, considering the dynamics of line inductance, it has been found that when the line inductance is large and the resistance is small, strong power coupling exists between the active and reactive power in the mid-frequency range (10Hz~100Hz), which easily induces mid-frequency oscillations, also known as synchronous frequency resonance, potentially leading to system instability. Connecting a real resistor in series with the converter can suppress mid-frequency oscillations, but this incurs additional losses. Some studies have proposed classical virtual resistance control strategies to suppress oscillations caused by high line impedance inductance; however, the virtual resistance control method for suppressing mid-frequency power oscillations has limited control freedom. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study a multi-control variable suppression strategy for mid-frequency power oscillations based on a virtual synchronous machine. Summary of the Invention

[0082] Comparative Example 1

[0083] This comparative example represents the VSG control method in the prior art.

[0084] The present invention performed a transfer function Bode test on the improved oscillation suppression method provided in Example 1, and the results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. (Through) Figure 1 (a) It can be seen that, There are two main resonant peaks. The low-frequency resonant peak is mainly around 3Hz, and this peak is primarily related to the inertia coefficient and damping coefficient of the active-frequency control loop, which has been fully demonstrated and analyzed in existing studies. In addition, the Bode plot also exhibits a resonant peak with an oscillation frequency between 50Hz and 100Hz (hereinafter referred to as the medium frequency). Increasing the low-pass filter phase angle-reactive power feedback coefficient b... i The mid-frequency resonant peak was significantly reduced, indicating that increasing the low-pass filter phase angle-reactive power feedback coefficient can effectively suppress mid-frequency oscillations; furthermore, similarly, from Figure 1 (b) The Bode plot shows that increasing the low-pass filter voltage-active feedback coefficient r i This also significantly reduced the mid-frequency resonant peak value, and, along with adjusting the phase angle-reactive feedback coefficient b...i The difference lies in adjusting the low-pass filter voltage - active feedback coefficient r. i It has less impact on oscillations below 10Hz (low frequency) and more effectively suppresses mid-frequency resonance peaks. The Bode plot analysis above verifies the effectiveness of the proposed improved synchronous frequency resonance suppression control.

[0085] also, Figure 2 and Figure 3 These represent the low-pass filter phase angle and the reactive power feedback coefficient b, respectively. i When the system root locus and low-pass filter voltage-active power feedback coefficient r are increased i The system root locus increases. Figure 2 Display low-pass filter phase angle - reactive power feedback coefficient b i When the value is increased, the characteristic roots of the system in the 50Hz-100Hz range (medium frequency) shift to the left half-plane. When the oscillations at the medium frequency are severe or even cause system instability, the low-pass filter phase angle-reactive power feedback coefficient b can be increased. i This helps the eigenvalue cross from the right half-plane to the left half-plane, improving system stability. Figure 3 Display low-pass filter voltage - active power feedback coefficient r i When the value is increased, the mid-frequency characteristic root of the system shifts to the left half-plane. Similarly, increasing the low-pass filter voltage-active feedback coefficient r... i This helps the eigenvalue cross from the right half-plane to the left half-plane, improving system stability and significantly increasing the damping ratio. The analysis results show that increasing the coefficient b... i and r i Both can effectively improve system stability, but increasing the coefficient r i The effect is better than b i .

[0086] Furthermore, to verify the effectiveness of the method provided in Example 1 in suppressing medium-frequency oscillations, this invention also conducted simulation verification on Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 based on a single-machine grid-connected system, and the results are as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown. Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 (b) Represents the output active and reactive power waveforms of a single-machine grid-connected system based on traditional virtual synchronous machine control under reactive power reference disturbance. Figure 4 When displaying reactive power reference disturbance, the method provided in Comparative Example 1 exhibits severe medium-frequency oscillations, which are measured to be Hz by FFT analysis. Figure 5 (a) and Figure 5 (b) respectively represent the output active and reactive power waveforms of the method provided in Example 1 when the reactive power reference disturbance of a single-machine grid-connected system is applied. Figure 5When the reactive power reference disturbance is displayed, the medium-frequency oscillation of the system is effectively suppressed under the traditional virtual synchronous machine control. Simulation verifies the effectiveness of the proposed improved control strategy, which is consistent with the above theoretical analysis results.
