Based on the water content dynamic model, the water content compensation of frequency modulation power is designed as:
[0209] (16)
[0210] The above formula is the frequency modulation power compensation amount caused by water content change, is the water content compensation coefficient, is the reference water content.
[0211] The virtual inertia of PEMEL and the primary frequency modulation control technology are designed, and the mathematical model can be expressed as:
[0212] (17)
[0213] The above formula and respectively represent the virtual inertia and the primary frequency modulation coefficient, is the frequency deviation.
[0214] The temperature-pressure-water frequency modulation compensation term is integrated into the above control model, and the virtual inertia and the primary frequency modulation control correction model of PEMEL is obtained as:
[0215] (18)
[0216] The above formula is the sum of the virtual inertia and the primary frequency modulation power of the corrected PEMEL.
[0217] The fuzzy control technology is adopted to realize the adaptive online setting of the virtual inertia coefficient and the primary frequency modulation coefficient of PEMEL, so that the frequency modulation performance is in an optimal value under different conditions.
[0218] The input and output of the fuzzy controller: the virtual inertia mainly affects the frequency change rate of the system, so the fuzzy controller for adjusting the virtual inertia coefficient takes the power at the steady-state operating point of PEMEL and the frequency change rate of the system as the input, and outputs the upper correction amount and the lower correction amount of the virtual inertia coefficient. The primary frequency modulation mainly affects the maximum frequency deviation of the system, so the fuzzy controller for adjusting the primary frequency modulation coefficient takes the power at the steady-state operating point of PEMEL and the frequency deviation of the system as the input, and outputs the upper correction amount and the lower correction amount of the primary frequency modulation coefficient.
[0219] Membership function: the input and output variables both adopt triangular membership functions or trapezoidal membership functions, which are divided into five fuzzy sets of negative big (NB), negative small (NS), zero (Z), positive small (PS), and positive big (PB). The control rules are designed as follows:
[0220] Control rule 1: when the steady-state operating point power is large and the frequency change rate is large, the upper correction amount of the virtual inertia coefficient is moderate, and the lower correction amount is large; when the steady-state operating point power is moderate and the frequency change rate is moderate, the upper correction amount and the lower correction amount of the virtual inertia coefficient are both moderate; when the steady-state operating point power is small and the frequency change rate is large, the upper correction amount of the virtual inertia coefficient is large, and the lower correction amount is moderate.
[0221] Control rule 1: when the power of the steady-state operating point is large and the frequency deviation is large, the upper correction amount of the primary frequency modulation coefficient is moderate, and the lower correction amount is large; when the power of the steady-state operating point is moderate and the frequency deviation is moderate, the upper correction amount and the lower correction amount of the primary frequency modulation coefficient are both moderate; when the power of the steady-state operating point is small and the frequency deviation is large, the upper correction amount of the primary frequency modulation coefficient is large, and the lower correction amount is moderate.
[0222] Based on the above fuzzy control strategy, the virtual inertia coefficient and the primary frequency modulation coefficient expression of PEMEL are as follows:
[0223] (19)
[0224] (20)
[0225] Example 12:
[0226] The application of the PEMEL adaptive frequency modulation control strategy considering temperature-pressure-water influence is as follows:
[0227] In order to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method, a revised IEEE-9 node test system is constructed in this patent, which includes synchronous generator station, new energy power generation station, PEM electrolyzer station and load composition.
[0228] When the system has frequency deviation and needs PEMEL to participate in frequency modulation, PEMEL will actively participate in frequency modulation, and according to the operating state of PEMEL, its optimal frequency modulation performance will be excavated, and the flow chart of PEMEL participating in system frequency modulation is as shown in Figs. 1-3 .
[0229] In order to verify the feasibility of PEMFL participating in frequency modulation and the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive frequency modulation control strategy, the following three cases are set for comparative analysis in this section.
[0230] Case 1: PEMEL does not participate in frequency modulation;
[0231] Case 2: PEMEL adopts constant coefficient virtual inertia and droop control to participate in frequency modulation;
[0232] Case 3: PEMEL adopts the control strategy proposed in this paper to participate in frequency modulation.
[0233] In this simulation, it is assumed that photovoltaic and wind turbine are running in maximum power point mode, the internal temperature, pressure and water content of PEMEL are considered as constants, the temperature, pressure and water supply subsystem of PEMEL do not participate in frequency modulation, and the steady-state operating point of PEMEL is set at a moderate position. The system load suddenly increases at t=6s and suddenly decreases at t=10s, and the simulation results under different cases are as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 .
[0234] From Fig. 3 And Fig. 2 It can be seen that the frequency fluctuation is the largest when the PEMEL is not involved in frequency regulation under Case 1 at t = 6 s. The PEMEL involved in frequency regulation by reducing the hydrogen production power under Case 2 and Case 3 can quickly reduce the frequency fluctuation. The frequency fluctuation is larger when the PEMEL is under Case 2 and smaller when the PEMEL is under Case 3. Similarly, the upward frequency regulation performance of the PEMEL under different cases is the same at t = 10 s. Therefore, according to Fig. 3 And Fig. 2 Fig. 3 The results show that the adaptive virtual inertia and primary frequency regulation control strategy proposed in this paper can fully exploit the optimal frequency regulation capability of the PEMEL.
