Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical engineering technology, specifically to a method and system for optimizing the main current injection of distributed energy sources for low-voltage distribution networks, and more specifically to a method and system for optimizing inverter current reference injection values for addressing three-phase voltage imbalance in power grids. Background Technology
[0002] The high penetration of distributed energy resources in modern power grids can exacerbate power quality problems in distribution networks. Among these problems, the persistent three-phase voltage imbalance at the point of common coupling (PCC) has attracted widespread attention. Three-phase voltage imbalance increases the risk of equipment damage and failure, and in severe cases, may cause distributed generation devices to disconnect from the grid. IEEE international standards recommend that power system design and operation limit the voltage unbalance factor (VUF) to within 3%. Static synchronous compensators (SMCs) and static reactive power compensators (SVCs) can typically be used to compensate reactive power and reduce voltage imbalance at the PCC. However, these dedicated power quality conditioning devices suffer from high installation and operating costs, low utilization rates, and poor flexibility. Therefore, utilizing the widespread distributed energy resources in distribution networks, i.e., inverter-based resources (IBRs), to address voltage imbalance at the PCC is more cost-effective.
[0003] From a power supply perspective, an IBR using current loop control essentially behaves as a controlled current source, such as... Figure 3 As shown, this characteristic can be used to adjust the current amplitude and phase injected into the grid by the IBR to provide reactive power support. Typically, the current injection reference value of the IBR can be obtained by multiplying the voltage deviation by a droop factor. However, using a fixed droop factor cannot maximize the voltage imbalance mitigation potential of the IBR, resulting in poor flexibility. Therefore, optimized current injection reference value solutions have attracted academic attention. Existing PCC voltage imbalance mitigation optimization models are mainly established from two dimensions: positive-sequence voltage support and negative-sequence voltage mitigation. Most of them use the steady-state three-phase current amplitude and the active (reactive) output value of the IBR as constraints in the optimization problem, only with slightly different optimization objectives: maximizing the positive-sequence voltage at the PCC and minimizing the negative-sequence voltage at the PCC, respectively.
[0004] To simultaneously regulate both positive-sequence and negative-sequence voltages at the PCC, this invention proposes an inverter current reference injection value optimization method and system for three-phase voltage imbalance mitigation in power grids. This method includes incorporating the steady-state amplitude of the three-phase current, the reactive power output of the IBR, and synchronization stability into the constraint set of the optimization model, and setting the optimization objective as the difference between the positive and negative-sequence voltages. By introducing auxiliary variables, the optimization model can be transformed into a convex optimization model. Therefore, compared to existing current injection reference optimization models, this invention can simultaneously mitigate voltage imbalances at the PCC from both positive-sequence and negative-sequence dimensions. Furthermore, the convex optimization problem ensures the optimality of the solution, allowing this invention to maximize the reactive power capacity of the IBR and minimize voltage imbalance at the PCC while satisfying physical constraints.
[0005] Guo, Yifei, et al. "Global optimality of inverter dynamic voltage support." IEEE Transactions on Power Systems 37.5 (2021): 3947-3957. This paper discloses a study on dynamic voltage support (DVS) strategies based on inverter resources (IBRs) under voltage dip conditions to improve low-voltage ride-through performance. The DVS problem is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem aiming to maximize the positive-sequence voltage magnitude at the point of common coupling (PCC) while satisfying current, active power, and synchronization stability constraints. Subsequently, optimization analysis was conducted to explore the global optimal solution analytically. This paper proposes an effective method to achieve global optimality of positive-sequence voltage support under symmetrical voltage dip conditions. By analyzing the relationship between the voltage at the PCC, the inverter output current, and the grid voltage phasors, the voltage support problem is constructed as a non-convex optimization problem, and its global optimal solution is divided into three cases, with closed-form solutions (implicit solutions) derived for each case. Its drawback lies in the fact that the model only considers positive-sequence voltage support and ignores negative-sequence voltage mitigation. This makes the optimization problem applicable only to symmetrical faults and not to asymmetrical faults, failing to reduce voltage imbalance at the PCC. Under asymmetrical fault conditions, it may lead to excessive three-phase current amplitude. The advantages of this invention are: 1) It considers both positive-sequence voltage support and negative-sequence voltage mitigation, making it more widely applicable; 2) It does not require a staged analytical method, but directly solves the optimal solution through a unified optimization problem, covering all three cases.
[0006] C. Zhao, D. Sun, X. Duan and H. Nian, "Current Reference Optimization for Inverter-Based Resources to Mitigate Grid Voltage Unbalance Factor," in IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, vol. 39, no. 4, pp. 6103-6106, July 2024, doi: 10.1109 / TPWRS.2024.3397030. This paper discloses that modern grid specifications require inverter-based resources (IBRs) to inject reactive current into the power system proportional to voltage drop to support voltage recovery during voltage faults. However, current reference values calculated according to established grid specifications may not maximize the dynamic voltage support capability of IBRs. This paper proposes a novel current reference optimization method that achieves better voltage support performance compared to traditional current references. Current constraints for each phase of the IBR are added to the optimal voltage unbalance factor decay model (OAVUF). By changing the voltage orientation and replacing variables, the OAVUF model is reformulated as a quadratic cone problem. A case study was conducted using MATLAB / Simulink to verify the effectiveness of the proposed optimization method. This paper proposes an effective method for voltage support using an IBR under three-phase voltage imbalance conditions. Through coordinate system transformation and variable substitution, the IBR current reference solution problem is reformulated as a second-order cone optimization problem, and the optimal current reference value is then obtained through a solver. Its drawback is that this model only considers the active power output limit of the IBR, ignoring the reactive power output limit. The lack of reactive power constraints may lead to the obtained current reference value being unfeasible in actual operation. The advantages of this invention are: 1) It constructs a global optimization problem in a specified synchronous rotating coordinate system, eliminating the need for coordinate transformation; 2) It incorporates the available reactive power capacity of the IBR into the constraint set, thereby preventing the current reference from exceeding the controllable range, resulting in a more complete and reliable optimization model under actual operating conditions.

[0035] The following sections will construct an optimization problem in a specified synchronous rotating coordinate system to solve for the optimal steady-state current injection reference value, in order to maximize the mitigation of voltage imbalance at the PCC. This optimization problem comprehensively considers the current amplitude of each phase and the constraints of the active and reactive power output limits of the IBR.
[0036] The constraint set construction includes: like Figure 4b As shown, by mapping the voltage and current phasors to a positive- and negative-sequence dq rotating coordinate system and separating the real and imaginary parts, we can obtain... (2) in, This represents the positive-sequence d-axis voltage at PCC. The equivalent positive-sequence d-axis voltage of the power grid. This refers to the positive-sequence d-axis current output by the IBR. This is the positive-sequence q-axis current output by the IBR. This is the positive-sequence q-axis voltage at PCC.

This refers to the negative-sequence q-axis current output by the IBR. This is the negative sequence q-axis voltage at PCC. This represents the equivalent negative-sequence q-axis voltage of the power grid. The magnitudes of the positive and negative sequence voltages at PCC can be expressed as: (3) Using the cone relaxation technique, equation (3) can be reformulated as equation (4): (4) The magnitudes of the positive and negative sequence voltages at PCC are limited to non-negative values: (5) Under unbalanced operating conditions, the reactive power output value of the IBR is as follows: (6) Therefore, the reactive power constraint can be obtained, as shown in equation (7): (7) in, Q lim It is the maximum reactive power output of the IBR.

[0040] The convex domain reconstruction of the non-convex constraint term includes: By observation, it can be seen that equation (7) is a non-convex constraint. Although it can be solved using a commercial solver, it may get stuck in a local optimum. Therefore, an auxiliary variable can be introduced. Z i By substituting variables, equation (7) can be rewritten as equation (12). Equation (12) consists of convex constraints such as hyperplane constraints and cone constraints.
[0041] (12) in , and The expression is as follows (13) (14) (15) Based on the foregoing analysis, the optimization problem can be formulated as follows: (16) All constraints in this optimization model are convex constraints, and four steady-state current reference values can be obtained by solving with a commercial solver such as Gurobi. The four obtained current reference values are defined for a specified dq coordinate system. Therefore, the resulting d-axis and q-axis current components should not be interpreted as active and reactive current components in the traditional sense. This does not affect control performance because their impact on the voltage at the PCC is fundamentally determined by phasor relationships, i.e., the magnitude and relative phase angle between the grid voltage, PCC current, and grid impedance. Under grid imbalance conditions, the actual power and reactive power injected by the IBR themselves contain second harmonic oscillation components. The optimization model regarding... Q The constraint refers to the average reactive power injected into the grid. While these oscillations can be suppressed by appropriately modifying the current reference value, such suppression measures are beyond the scope of this invention.

[0045] In Case 1, the upper limit of the phase current amplitude is set to 15A, and the average reactive power output of the IBR is limited to 2kVar. Solving the optimization problem yields the following optimal current reference values: I dp =2.44A, I qp =-5.59A, I dn =-3.95A, I qn=-10.14A. Optimization results show that the phase current amplitude constraint is activated, while the reactive power constraint is not activated. Figure 5 The system step response waveform using optimized current reference values is shown. 0.5 seconds ago, I dp =10A, all other current reference values are set to 0A. The reference value switches to the optimized value after 0.5 seconds and switches back to the original value after 0.8 seconds. From Figure 5 It can be observed that the steady-state current of phase B does indeed reach the preset amplitude limit (15A), while the average reactive power output remains below the limit (2kVar). This simulation result is completely consistent with the theoretical optimization result. Moreover, the voltage imbalance at PCC decreased from 11.11% to 1.57%.
[0046] Case 2 aims to further investigate the scenario where reactive power output constraints take effect. In this scenario, the average reactive power output is limited to 700Var. The phase current amplitude limit remains at 15A. Solving the optimization problem yields the following optimal current reference values: I dp =2.11A, I qp =-4.59A, I dn =-4.94A, I qn =-10.74A. Optimization results show that both phase current amplitude and reactive power constraints are activated simultaneously. Figure 6 The system step response waveform using optimized current reference values is shown. 0.5 seconds ago, I dp =10A, all other current reference values are set to 0A. The reference value switches to the optimized value after 0.5 seconds and switches back to the original value after 0.8 seconds. From Figure 6 It is evident that the steady-state current and average reactive power of phase B did indeed reach their preset limits.
