Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system stability analysis and control technology, specifically a power system inertia assessment method based on electromechanical response characteristics. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of new power systems, a large number of new energy power generation technologies will gradually replace traditional power generation technologies. The deployment of numerous new energy technologies will be accompanied by a significant influx of power electronics technologies, which will have new impacts on power systems, particularly regarding low inertia and low damping. Low inertia and low damping reduce the system's anti-interference capability and significantly affect the stable operation of the power system; therefore, assessing the system's inertia is necessary. In power systems with new energy integration, inertia assessment has become a crucial part of power system operation, enabling the determination of safe system operation and the rational optimization and allocation of inertia support resources. Therefore, accurately assessing system inertia is both important and challenging. The rapid development of wide-area measurement technology allows for relatively convenient acquisition of parameters in the power system, including generator power parameters and speed parameters, further providing a basis for system evaluation through system model identification. However, this method has certain limitations. Time-domain measurement data may be contaminated, potentially including noise, system electromechanical oscillations, and other nonlinear variables. This contamination reduces data accuracy and further contributes to calculation errors. Therefore, evaluating system inertia based on electromechanical modes in the frequency domain yields better results. The electromechanical characteristics of random signals are extracted using the random subspace method to evaluate inertia. However, this method requires calculating the equivalent reactance of the power system, adding an extra computational burden.
[0003] In summary, there is a need in the existing technology for an evaluation method for power system quantities to improve identification accuracy and practicality.
[0004] Application content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to propose a data-driven method for evaluating the effective inertia of a region, which uses a threshold method to avoid numerical singularities and has good identification accuracy and practicality.
[0006] Based on the above, this invention proposes an inertia assessment method based on the electromechanical response characteristics of a power system. This application does not use a system identification model, but instead uses a mathematical model for inertia assessment that establishes the coupling relationship between electromechanical response characteristics and system inertia. Based on this, the electromechanical characteristics of the system are extracted using a stochastic subspace algorithm. After converting the measurement data into regional equivalent data, the stochastic subspace algorithm can be used to extract the electromechanical response characteristics using a data-driven approach. The effective inertia of the region can then be calculated using the inertia assessment model. The specific steps of this invention are as follows: A power system inertia assessment method based on electromechanical response characteristics includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Use the sliding data window method to extract tie line power and bus frequency data under steady-state operation of the power system, and convert them into equivalent machine electromagnetic power and speed signals for the region;
[0008] Step 2: Extract electromechanical response features. The electromechanical response features are extracted using the random subspace algorithm.
[0009] Step 3: Regional inertia assessment. Based on the coupling relationship between the electromechanical response characteristics and system inertia derived from the aforementioned theory, the effective regional inertia of the system is assessed.
[0010] Preferably, step 1: The sliding data window method is used to extract tie-line power and bus frequency data under steady-state operation of the power system, and converts them into equivalent machine electromagnetic power and speed signals for the region. This specifically includes the following steps:
[0011] Analysis of the coupling relationship between electromechanical response characteristics and system inertia: In a power system, a subsystem can be equivalent to a generator. The dynamic model of the generator includes the generator inertial constant M, the generator damping coefficient D, and P. e Electromagnetic power, P m The swing equation for parameters such as mechanical power and generator rotor speed ω during the disturbance is as follows:
[0012]
[0013] For speed controllers, which cannot respond instantaneously, a certain delay is required during operation (P). m It can be considered a constant; the linearized expression of the rocking equation is obtained as follows:
[0014]
[0015] Where, k s δ is the synchronization coefficient, and δ is the power angle.
[0016] Based on equations (1) and (2), and by linearizing the rocking equation, we can obtain:
[0017]
[0018] Modal analysis theory shows that solving the characteristic equation yields a pair of conjugate complex roots. The real part of these eigenvalues contains information about the damping ratio in the electromechanical oscillation mode, while the imaginary part contains information about the oscillation frequency.
[0019]
[0020] Preferably, based on equation (4), by eliminating D using the relationship between the damping ratio and the eigenvalue, the relationship between frequency and inertial constant can be obtained, i.e., the analytical expression of inertia based on the electromechanical response characteristics:
[0021]
[0022] The electromechanical dynamic response process can be obtained through wide-area measurement techniques, including ΔP. e Electromagnetic power and Δω e Rotational speed signal; however, during the inertia assessment of the system, the inertia constant may be negative. To avoid this unreasonable situation, a threshold method is used to ensure that the estimated inertia remains at its current value when the denominator is zero:
[0023]
[0024] Where Δt is the sampling time, and ε0 is an empirical positive threshold to avoid numerical problems, usually set according to the standard deviation of RoCoF.
[0025] Preferably, step 2: Extracting electromechanical response features. The electromechanical response features are extracted using a random subspace algorithm, specifically including the following steps: To extract the electromechanical response features of the power system, a random subspace method is used. The discretely sampled system state-space equation, considering noise, is as follows:
[0026] x k+1 =Ax k +w i
[0027] y k =Cx k +e i (7)
[0028] Where x represents the system state quantity; x represents the measured output quantity; w i Indicates process noise; e i Denotes the observation noise, and satisfies E(w) i )=E(e i ) = 0; A represents the state matrix, and C represents the output matrix.
[0029] Preferably, the extended Hankel matrix blocks representing future data are projected onto the extended Hankel matrix representing past data:
[0030] O i =Y f / Y p (8
[0031] Based on equation (8) for (O) i Perform singular value decomposition:
[0032]
[0033] in, T is the translation matrix. This is the Kalman filter state sequence matrix of the positive time series. Substitute the Kalman filter state sequence matrix and the output into the system's state equations:
[0034]
[0035] Among them (O) + ) represents the pseudo-inverse, and the state matrix A of the continuous system is calculated using equation (10). c And perform eigenvalue decomposition on it;
[0036]
[0037] Where: Λ=diag(λ) i ), where λ i Let be the eigenvalue of the i-th mode.
[0038] Preferably, step 3: Regional inertia assessment; based on the coupling relationship between the electromechanical response characteristics and system inertia derived from the aforementioned theory, and by assessing the effective regional inertia of the system, specifically including the following steps:
[0039] After a power system experiences a disturbance, the system can be partitioned based on the coherence of each generator. Each partition can then be represented by a single generator, and the equivalent electromagnetic power of the generator in each region can be calculated as the electromagnetic power P of the m interconnecting lines within the interval. eq The sum of:
[0040]
[0041] The rotational speed of the isobaric machine in each region can be represented by the regional center frequency:
[0042]
[0043] Where: Δf i χ is the frequency of the regional power grid bus. iThe weighting coefficient is defined in the paper as the reciprocal of the variance of the bus frequency.
[0044] Beneficial effects
[0045] This data-driven method for assessing effective regional inertia derives an inertia assessment model based on electromechanical response characteristics. By analyzing the coupling relationship between electromechanical response features and system inertia in the frequency domain, it further derives the inertia assessment model based on electromechanical response features. The threshold method effectively avoids cases where the inertial constant is negative. This invention exhibits good identification accuracy and engineering practicality. Based on the frequency domain perspective, this invention provides a new stenographic method for assessing system inertia using electromechanical response feature extraction. This invention does not require system model identification and can extract electromechanical features through a random subspace algorithm. Attached Figure Description
