Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of grid-connected inverter control technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy power generation technologies, grid-connected inverters, as the core equipment connecting new energy power generation systems to the power grid, directly affect the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) strategies, which can simulate the inertia and damping characteristics of synchronous generators, effectively improve the grid-connected stability of new energy power generation systems and are widely used in grid-connected inverter control.
[0003] However, under virtual synchronous control strategies, the output impedance of the grid-connected inverter and the grid impedance tend to intersect at characteristic curves in the low-frequency region, leading to low-frequency oscillations in the system. In severe cases, this can disrupt the normal operation of the grid and reduce the system's stability margin. Traditional oscillation suppression methods often employ virtual impedance or damping control with fixed parameters. While these methods can alleviate oscillations to some extent, they struggle to balance suppression effectiveness with system power loss: excessively large fixed virtual impedances can lead to increased additional power loss and reduced system efficiency; excessively small virtual impedances cannot effectively suppress oscillations, resulting in limited stability improvement. Therefore, a low-frequency oscillation suppression method that can adaptively adjust parameters and balance suppression effectiveness with power loss is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention aims to address the problem in existing virtual synchronization control systems where low-frequency oscillation suppression and power loss cannot be simultaneously addressed. A low-frequency oscillation suppression method based on adaptive virtual impedance is provided.
[0005] The low-frequency oscillation suppression method based on adaptive virtual impedance described in this invention includes:
[0006] Step 1: Sample the three-phase current at the grid connection point of the grid-connected inverter to be suppressed for low frequency, and perform Clark transformation on the sampled three-phase current values to obtain the current in the αβ two-phase stationary coordinate system.
[0007] Step 2: Use a notch filter to filter the current in the αβ two-phase stationary coordinate system, filter out the fundamental frequency current component, and extract the resonant current component. And calculate the resonant current components. Valid values;
[0008] Step 3: Effective value based on resonant current component Adaptive adjustment of virtual resistance value ,when >Preset threshold hour, ,when ≤ hour, ,in, This is a virtual resistance reference value. These are adaptive coefficients;
[0009] Step 4: Adjust the adaptive virtual resistance value With resonant current component Multiply the two to obtain the virtual voltage compensation amount. Subtract this virtual voltage compensation amount from the three-phase modulated voltage signal before correction to obtain the corrected three-phase modulated signal.
[0010] Step 5: Input the corrected three-phase modulation signal into the PWM circuit to generate a drive signal to control the switching devices of the grid-connected inverter, thereby suppressing low-frequency oscillations.
[0011] Furthermore, in this invention, in step one, the current in the αβ two-phase stationary coordinate system is:
[0012]
[0013] , , These represent the three-phase currents of the power grid. , Let α and β represent the currents in the stationary coordinate system of the two phases α and β, respectively.
[0014] Furthermore, in this invention, in step two, the characteristic frequency of the notch filter... It is equal to the angular frequency of the fundamental component of the grid connection point voltage.
[0015] Furthermore, in this invention, in step two, the mathematical expression for the notch filter is:
[0016]
[0017] in, For frequency trap width, It is the characteristic frequency, and The angular frequency of the fundamental component of the grid connection point voltage is equal to the frequency of the fundamental component, ensuring accurate filtering of the fundamental frequency component and extraction of the resonant current component i. h And calculate its effective value, where s represents the Laplace operator.
[0018] This invention reshapes the frequency response curve of the inverter's output impedance using a series virtual impedance, ensuring that the corrected output impedance phase frequency curve meets the stability condition of a phase angle greater than -90° at the intersection with the grid impedance. This significantly improves the system's stability margin and effectively suppresses low-frequency oscillations. Based on resonant current adaptive adjustment of the virtual resistance value, it avoids the additional power loss caused by a fixed large resistance. When the oscillation risk is high, the resistance is increased to enhance suppression; when stable, a reference resistance is used to reduce losses, balancing suppression effect with system efficiency. A notch filter is used to specifically extract the resonant current component, damping only the resonant frequency band without affecting the fundamental frequency component transmission, reducing fundamental frequency power loss and ensuring normal system power output. The control logic is clear, and the parameters are flexibly adjustable, adaptable to grid-connected inverters and grid environments with different parameters. It requires no major modification to existing hardware systems, making it easy to implement in engineering and for widespread application. Attached Figure Description
