Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of converter control technology, and in particular to a converter that adapts to changes in grid voltage, and its control method and apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] Building a new power system with renewable energy as the mainstay is a major trend. Renewable energy generation is connected to the grid via converters. However, the current weak support characteristics of renewable energy sources mean that their large-scale integration poses a significant challenge to the system's voltage stability.
[0003] To ensure system stability during large-scale integration of renewable energy sources and guarantee the stable grid-connected operation of renewable energy units, it is necessary to strengthen their ability to support system voltage. Under current inductive grid conditions, voltage support for renewable energy units typically employs droop control. This approach can accommodate the current-sharing requirements of different units when supporting voltage; however, the strength of droop control is limited by the unit's stability under small disturbances. A weak droop control, on the other hand, can lead to insufficient voltage support when grid strength weakens, and in severe cases, can also cause grid instability in renewable energy integration. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides an adaptive converter for grid voltage changes, as well as its control method and device, to resolve the contradiction between the voltage support strength of new energy generating units and the stability of grid connection under small disturbances, thereby improving the grid voltage support characteristics of new energy generating units.

[0073] S210, obtain the grid connection point voltage and active power on the grid side of the converter;
[0074] Collect the grid connection point voltage and grid connection point current on the grid side of the converter, and calculate the active power based on the grid connection point voltage and grid connection point current.
[0075] S220 updates the value of the voltage amplitude control flag based on the voltage deviation control amount between the voltage amplitude at the grid connection point and the rated voltage.
[0076] The value of the voltage amplitude control flag is used to control the PI regulator with integral output freeze function.
[0077] Calculate the difference between the voltage amplitude at the grid connection point and the rated voltage value, and use this difference as the relationship between the voltage deviation control quantity and the preset deviation range. Update the value of the voltage amplitude control flag bit, which can be either 0 or 1.

[0087] The grid strength is positively correlated with the short-circuit ratio; the higher the short-circuit ratio, the stronger the grid strength. When using the adaptive grid voltage variation converter control method provided in this embodiment of the invention, the simulation results of the converter as the grid short-circuit ratio decreases and increases are as follows: Figure 3-a and Figure 3-b As shown, when the short-circuit ratio of the power grid is changed at 2.0s, the three-phase voltage and current of the power grid return to steady-state operation before 2.3s after a brief adjustment process, without any excessive overshoot or continuous oscillation.
[0088] Figure 4 shows the simulation results of the converter when the grid short-circuit ratio changes, using traditional droop control with different control strengths. Figure 4-a Simulation results are shown when the converter droop coefficient is moderate. The grid short-circuit ratio decreases at 2.0s, and the three-phase voltage and current of the grid converge to a steady state after a small fluctuation. The simulation waveform when the converter droop coefficient is small is as follows: Figure 4-b As shown, after the grid short-circuit ratio decreases at 2.0s, the system becomes unstable due to insufficient voltage support from the converter under weak grid conditions. A larger droop coefficient increases the risk of system instability under strong grid conditions, such as... Figure 4-c As shown, after the short-circuit ratio of the power grid increases at 2.0s, the three-phase voltage and current of the power grid oscillate, and the system becomes unstable.
[0089] Will Figure 3-a , 3-b and Figure 4-a , 4-b As can be seen from the comparison of 4-c, the converter control method for adaptive grid voltage changes provided by the embodiments of the present invention can ensure grid connection stability while improving the voltage support strength at the grid connection point of the unit, and can enable the converter to automatically adapt to changes in grid strength without relying on information such as grid short-circuit ratio.
[0090] This invention provides a converter control method that adapts to changes in grid voltage. Based on the magnitude of the voltage deviation control quantity between the amplitude of the grid connection point voltage and the rated voltage, it determines whether to freeze the integrator in a PI regulator. The PI regulator is then used to adjust the voltage deviation control quantity. Then, based on the voltage amplitude adjustment control quantity and the active power adjustment control quantity, a waveform voltage command is determined. This waveform voltage command is then subjected to space vector modulation to generate the drive signal required for converter control. By using a PI regulator with integral output freezing function to adaptively start and stop the integral regulation function of the converter to adjust for changes in the grid connection point voltage, it not only improves the grid connection point voltage support strength of the unit while ensuring grid connection stability, resolving the contradiction between voltage support strength and grid stability under small disturbances in new energy units, and improving the grid voltage support characteristics of new energy units, but also allows the converter to automatically adapt to changes in grid strength without relying on information such as the grid short-circuit ratio. Furthermore, the control method is simple to implement, requires no hardware modification, and does not require monitoring grid strength information, making it highly practical for engineering applications.

[0140] The update module 720 is used to update the value of the voltage amplitude control flag based on the voltage deviation control amount between the voltage amplitude at the grid connection point and the voltage rating.
[0141] The adjustment module 730 is used to adjust the voltage deviation control amount according to the value of the voltage amplitude control flag bit to obtain the voltage amplitude adjustment control amount;
[0142] The active power control module 740 performs active power control based on the active power at the converter grid connection point to obtain the active power regulation control quantity.
[0143] The determination module 750 is used to determine the wave transmission voltage command based at least on the voltage amplitude regulation control quantity and the active power regulation control quantity.
[0144] The generation module 760 is used to perform space vector modulation on the transmitted voltage command to generate the drive signal required for converter control.
[0145] This invention provides a converter control device that adapts to changes in grid voltage. Based on the magnitude of the voltage deviation control quantity between the amplitude of the grid connection point voltage and the rated voltage, it determines whether to freeze the integrator in a PI regulator. The PI regulator adjusts the voltage deviation control quantity, and then, based on the voltage amplitude adjustment control quantity and the active power adjustment control quantity, a waveform voltage command is determined. This waveform voltage command is then subjected to space vector modulation to generate the drive signal required for converter control. By using a PI regulator with an integral output freezing function to adaptively start and stop the integral regulation function of the converter to adjust for changes in the grid connection point voltage, it not only improves the grid connection point voltage support strength of the unit while ensuring grid connection stability, resolving the contradiction between voltage support strength and grid connection stability under small disturbances in new energy units, but also allows the converter to automatically adapt to changes in grid strength without relying on information such as the grid short-circuit ratio. Furthermore, the control method is simple to implement, requires no hardware modification, and does not require monitoring grid strength information, making it highly practical for engineering applications.
