BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous increase of intermittent and strong fluctuation new energy installed capacity such as photovoltaic, the power grid energy structure has undergone profound changes. The proportion of synchronous generators in the system is gradually reduced, the system frequency change rate is increased, the transient frequency deviation is increased, the voltage support ability is insufficient during fault, and the stability problems such as oscillation risk are increasingly prominent, which threatens the safe operation of power grid.

[0003] The photovoltaic inverter is the core equipment of new energy grid-connected, and its traditional control strategy mainly adopts maximum power point tracking technology, aiming at maximizing power generation, and implements grid-following control. Under this control mode, the inverter behaves as a controlled current source, only responding to the phase and amplitude changes of the grid voltage, lacking inertia and damping support capability, and difficult to meet the dynamic regulation demand of the grid.

[0004] To cope with the above challenges, the existing technology usually relies on the configuration of external energy storage equipment to provide short-time power support. Although this method improves the dynamic response of the system to a certain extent, it also leads to problems such as rising investment cost, complicating the control system, and difficulty in coordinating the operation of multiple devices, and does not essentially improve the active support capability of new energy power generation equipment to the grid.
