Abstract

The invention discloses a solid-state transformer voltage supporting capacity enhancing strategy based on an energy storage system and load control, and relates to the technical field of power electronics. The voltage supporting capacity of the solid-state transformer is limited by the rated capacity of the solid-state transformer, and when the active output of the solid-state transformer is large or deep voltage sag occurs, the reactive injection capacity of the solid-state transformer is small, and the voltage supporting capacity is weak. By utilizing the energy storage system at the low-voltage direct-current side of the solid-state transformer and controlling the voltage at the low-voltage alternating-current side, when asymmetric voltage sag occurs at the medium-voltage alternating-current side of the solid-state transformer, the current at the medium-voltage alternating-current side is ensured not to exceed a limit value, the active power fluctuation at the medium-voltage alternating-current side is inhibited, and the voltages at the medium-voltage direct-current side and the low-voltage direct-current side are kept stable; on the basis, the asymmetric voltage supporting capacity of the medium-voltage alternating current side is improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power electronics technology, and more specifically to a strategy for enhancing the voltage support capability of solid-state transformers based on energy storage systems and load control. Technical Background

[0002] Voltage sag is a serious power quality problem that has plagued and affected normal production in recent years. It causes tens of thousands of yuan in economic losses annually and has become a focal point of power system power quality issues. Solid-state transformers (SMTs) are a potential method to improve voltage sag in power systems. The basic idea behind using SMTs to address voltage sag is to inject reactive power into nodes using SMTs, thereby achieving voltage support.

[0003] However, the reactive power injection capacity of solid-state transformers is limited by their rated capacity. When the load is heavy or a deep voltage sag occurs, the reactive power injection capacity of solid-state transformers is small and insufficient to support the voltage. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the reactive power injection capacity of solid-state transformers to increase their voltage support capability.

[0004] The invention described in patent number CN119891408A proposes an active voltage support method for solid-state transformers. This method adaptively calculates the reactive power-voltage droop coefficient at each port of the solid-state transformer and utilizes the residual reactive power capacity on the AC side of the transformer for voltage support. However, when the load is heavy or a deep voltage sag occurs, the residual reactive power capacity on the AC side of the solid-state transformer is relatively small, resulting in weak voltage support capability. Furthermore, this invention is not applicable to asymmetrical voltage sags, which are the most frequent type of voltage sag. Summary of the Invention
