Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flexible DC power transmission and new energy grid connection technology, specifically to a synchronous control method for a fault-crossing cooperative system of new energy through a flexible DC grid connection system. It is particularly applicable to a control method that maintains the synchronous operation of new energy power generation units without disconnecting from the grid and prevents active power backfeeding from the receiving end grid when a short-circuit fault occurs on a three-phase AC line. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of the "dual carbon" target, my country's large-scale new energy bases are currently mainly located in the western desert and Gobi regions, while load centers are located thousands of kilometers away in the eastern regions. Adopting flexible DC transmission technology to achieve long-distance, large-capacity transmission of wind and solar power has become the mainstream solution. However, when a ground fault occurs on the AC line at the sending end of the new energy transmission system via the flexible DC system, the system faces multiple severe challenges: on the one hand, the fault causes a voltage drop at the grid connection point, which may trigger the phase-locked loop (PLL) of the new energy power plant to lose synchronization; on the other hand, to support the voltage, the sending-end converter station will inject current into the fault point, easily resulting in a "backward" flow of active power to the fault point. Due to the isolation effect of the flexible DC system, this power disturbance cannot be detected by the receiving-end grid, which will seriously disrupt the power balance of the receiving-end system. Therefore, achieving coordinated control between the new energy power plant and the converter station at the flexible DC transmission end during a fault, and ensuring the synchronous, grid-connected operation of the new energy power plant, is crucial to ensuring the safe and stable operation of the system.

[0003] Existing control measures for new energy transmission via flexible direct current lines during AC line faults mainly focus on current limiting control at the new energy power plant or the sending-end converter station itself. Control strategies often involve the new energy power plant executing a "low voltage ride-through" curve based on voltage drops, or the sending-end converter station using voltage reduction and current limiting. These two methods often operate independently. While these methods can prevent equipment overcurrent blocking to some extent, they fail to fundamentally solve the problem of active power backfeeding caused by the sending-end converter station maintaining voltage, and they do not fully consider the instability risk of the new energy phase-locked loop (PLL) when the fault depth is deep. Contingency plans for PLL instability often rely on a single electrical quantity threshold as a switching criterion, or directly communicate with the sending-end converter station to obtain a synchronization angle. If these strategies fail to accurately reflect the dynamic boundaries of the PLL, they may lead to erroneous operation or loss of the optimal intervention opportunity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a collaborative control system for AC fault ride-through of new energy sources via flexible DC grid connection based on stability boundary switching. The aim is to conservatively assess and maintain the phase-locked loop synchronization stability of the new energy converter during AC line faults, enabling it to coordinate with the converter station at the flexible DC transmission end and preventing the receiving-end grid from feeding back active power to the fault point. This optimizes the active support capability during fault ride-through while ensuring stable operation without disconnecting from the grid.

This enables constant voltage and frequency control of the sending-end converter station, resulting in a stable AC voltage used to track the given AC voltage amplitude. ; During a symmetrical fault, the sending-end converter station, in coordination with the new energy converter, actively reduces the AC voltage amplitude given by the outer loop controller. This allows the new energy converter to simultaneously reduce power compensation at the fault point and ensures that the remaining power after compensation by the new energy converter flows into the sending-end converter station. The DC transmission line receives the power output from the sending-end converter station and transmits it to the receiving-end converter station. The receiving-end converter station transmits the incoming power to the receiving-end power grid under constant DC voltage and reactive power control mode.

[0011] In this embodiment, to address the issues of phase-locked loop instability and active power backfeeding from the receiving-end grid during AC fault ride-through, a collaborative control system for new energy and flexible DC transmission is proposed, combining synchronous stability and active power support capabilities during fault ride-through. This system calculates the conservative boundary of phase-locked loop synchronous stability at the converter station at the flexible DC transmission end when active power transmission is zero. Based on this boundary, it actively switches the synchronous control strategy of the new energy converter when active power transmission is positive at the converter station at the flexible DC transmission end. Simultaneously, it collaboratively adjusts the sending-end voltage reference value of the flexible DC transmission system to complete AC fault ride-through.

[0013] During an AC symmetrical fault in the single-loop current control mode, the new energy converter adjusts the phase of its output current. To calculate the synchronization stability boundary of the phase-locked loop during an AC symmetrical fault, the following steps are performed to obtain the phase of the phase-locked loop output during the AC symmetrical fault. or power loop output phase .

[0015] Step 2, establish as follows Figure 2 The single-unit equivalent circuit shown uses the voltage phase of the sending-end converter station as a reference to define the phase of the phase-locked loop output. The difference between the voltage phase angle of the sending-end converter station and the voltage phase angle of the sending-end converter station is the power angle. ,and Therefore, the q-axis component of the grid connection point voltage can be established using equation (1).

X This indicates terms that are only related to impedance. X | indicates X The modulus of , and we have: (2) (3) Step 3, based on Figure 2 The equivalent circuit shown uses equation (4) to obtain the current flowing through the sending-end converter station. And use equation (3) to Perform coordinate rotation transformation to obtain d-axis components Setting equation (5) to zero yields equation (6), and thus equation (6) is used to obtain the voltage reference value of the sending-end converter station when the active current is zero and fed into the flexible DC transmission unit.

[0017] Step 4: When the phase-locked loop has synchronous stability and the grid connection point voltage is d-axis oriented, u q= 0 always holds true, and the equation (1) will always hold true. u q Decomposed into the first q-axis component u q1 Second q-axis component u q2 In order to facilitate u q= The solvable problem of 0 is transformed into an analytical curve. and curve The intersection problem. The first q-axis component of the grid connection point voltage is constructed using equation (7). u q1 With the angle curves between and the second q-axis component of the grid connection point voltage u q2 With the angle curves between and obtain and All intersections between them: (7) Step 5, as follows Figure 3 As shown, when hour, u q2 yes u q1 The tangent lines therefore have only one intersection point, which is the boundary of the untakeable values; when hour, u q2 and u q1 There are two intersection points, which form the boundary of possible values. Among these two intersection points, the following condition must be met: One point is a stable equilibrium point, and the other is an unstable equilibrium point; therefore When the equilibrium point lies between the two, a stable equilibrium point must exist. We select the intersection point that satisfies equation (8) from all intersection points as the stable equilibrium point. Furthermore, according to Lyapunov's method, the stable equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable.

[0018] Step 7, let =0 means that the new energy converter generates active power at full capacity during AC faults, and according to equation (5), for Adjustments were made to obtain the active voltage reduction value of the sending-end converter station. Thus, using equation (9), we can obtain the expected positive active power of the new energy converter being fed into the flexible DC transmission unit during an AC symmetrical fault. P r_new And use it as the active power reference value for the power synchronization control of new energy converters: (9) Step 8, as follows Figure 1 As shown, if > It is assumed that the phase-locked loop has a stable equilibrium point and synchronous stability during AC faults. Therefore, equation (10) is used to perform phase-locked loop synchronous control on the new energy converter, and the phase of the grid connection point voltage during AC symmetrical faults is obtained. Conversely, if it is assumed that the phase-locked loop has no stable equilibrium point and is unstable during AC faults, then equation (11) is used to perform power synchronization control on the new energy converter, and the power loop output phase during AC symmetrical faults is obtained. ; (10) (11) In equations (10)-(11), It is the rated angular frequency of the power grid.

This enables constant voltage and frequency control of the sending-end converter station, resulting in a stable AC voltage used to track the given AC voltage amplitude. .

[0020] During symmetrical faults, the sending-end converter station, in coordination with the new energy converter, actively reduces the AC voltage amplitude given by the outer loop controller. This allows the new energy converter to simultaneously reduce power compensation at fault points, and the remaining power after compensation by the new energy converter flows into the sending-end converter station.
