Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of converter control, and more specifically to a method for suppressing low-frequency oscillations in grid-type converters in DC distribution networks. Background Technology

[0002] DC distribution networks are a new type of power distribution architecture that distributes electrical energy from upstream power sources or backbone networks to end users in the form of direct current (DC). Compared to traditional AC distribution networks, DC distribution networks can significantly reduce conversion stages, lower line losses and harmonic levels, and more efficiently accommodate DC-type distributed energy sources such as photovoltaics and energy storage, as well as DC loads. They represent an important development direction for building modern power distribution systems with high power supply reliability, high power quality, and high energy utilization efficiency. Typical application scenarios include industrial parks, commercial building clusters, data centers, and urban power supply networks. However, DC distribution networks are complex systems with low inertia and strong coupling, consisting of a large number of power electronic converters. The dynamic stability of the system, especially the broadband oscillation risk caused by multi-machine interaction of converters, has become a key technical bottleneck restricting its safe and stable operation and large-scale application.

[0003] In DC distribution networks, the key interface for energy exchange with the upstream AC main grid is the grid-connected converter. Based on their core control objectives within the system, they can be mainly divided into two categories: one type focuses on maintaining a constant DC bus voltage, acting as the voltage support foundation of the system; the other type emphasizes precise and proactive control of power (flow) exchange between the main grid and the DC distribution network. The grid-connected converter is a typical representative of the latter type. Unlike traditional grid-following converters, grid-connected converters autonomously construct the amplitude and frequency of their output voltage through internal algorithms (such as virtual synchronous machines and droop control), thereby actively setting and adjusting the active and reactive power exchanged with the main grid. This "proactive grid-connection" characteristic makes them insensitive to changes in the strength of the main grid. When facing complex operating conditions such as weak grids or main grid impedance fluctuations, they exhibit significantly better stability and robustness than grid-following converters, greatly enhancing the DC distribution network's adaptability and proactive support capabilities under various grid conditions. However, while simulating the external characteristics of a synchronous generator, the grid-type converter also inherits the low-frequency oscillation problem similar to that of a synchronous generator. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for suppressing low-frequency oscillations in grid-type converters in DC distribution networks. This method can improve the damping effect of grid-type converters on low-frequency oscillations and enhance the stability of grid-type converters in DC distribution networks.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A method for suppressing low-frequency oscillations in grid-type converters in DC distribution networks, comprising the following steps: In a point-to-point symmetrical DC distribution network, the DC-side voltage of the grid-type converter is collected; The collected DC-side voltage is regulated and then fed forward to the reactive power control loop of the grid converter.

[0006] Furthermore, the point-to-point type symmetrical DC distribution network includes: a DC voltage-controlled converter, a DC transmission line, and a grid-type converter; wherein, the DC voltage-controlled converter is used to rectify the DC power in the transmission network into DC power; the DC transmission line is used to transmit the rectified DC power to the grid-type converter; and the grid-type converter is used to invert the DC power into AC power to supply the load at a remote end.

[0007] Furthermore, the collected DC-side voltage u dc The reactive power control loop fed forward to the grid-type converter after adjustment specifically includes: The reactive power deviation is obtained based on the reactive power reference value of the grid converter and the measured reactive power value. At the same time, the DC voltage compensation amount is obtained by adjusting the compensation gain based on the collected DC side voltage of the grid converter. The reactive power deviation is superimposed with the DC voltage compensation and then input into the PI regulator to obtain the d-axis voltage reference value, while the q-axis voltage reference value and the zero-axis voltage reference value are both set to zero.

[0008] Furthermore, the DC voltage compensation amount is achieved through the following formula:

[0009] in This indicates the DC voltage compensation amount, i.e., the adjusted DC side voltage; It is the adjustment coefficient.

[0010] Furthermore, the grid-type converter also includes an active power control loop, which, together with the reactive power control loop, controls the output of the grid-type converter.

[0011] Furthermore, the active power control loop is implemented through the following steps: Obtain the active power reference value and active power measurement value of the grid-type converter, and calculate the active power deviation; The active power deviation is processed through a virtual inertia and damping circuit to obtain the output angular velocity, and the output phase angle is obtained by integrating the output angular velocity.

[0012] Furthermore, in the step of processing the active power deviation through a virtual inertia and damping element, the transfer function of the virtual inertia and damping element is as follows: H(s) = 1 / (Js + D) Where H(s) represents the transfer function of the virtual inertia and damping element, and J is the virtual inertia coefficient. Here, is the Laplace operator, and D is the damping coefficient.

[0013] Furthermore, the active power control loop and the reactive power control loop jointly control the output of the grid-type converter, specifically including the following steps: The output phase angle is obtained from the active power control loop of the grid converter; The d-axis voltage reference value, q-axis voltage reference value, and zero-axis voltage reference value are obtained from the reactive power control loop of the grid-type converter. Based on the output phase angle, d-axis voltage reference value, q-axis voltage reference value and zero-axis voltage reference value, the three-phase voltage reference value is obtained through dq0 to abc coordinate transformation; The three-phase voltage reference values ​​are modulated by PWM to generate switching signals to control the output of the grid converter.

[0014] Furthermore, the three-phase voltage reference values ​​are obtained through coordinate transformation from dq0 to abc, specifically including the following transformation formulas: E a = E d cosθ GFM E b = E d cos (θ GFM 2π / 3) E c = E d cos (θ GFM +2π / 3) Among them, E a E is the reference value for phase A voltage. b E is the reference value for phase B voltage. c E is the reference value for phase C voltage. d θ is the reference value for the d-axis voltage. GFM This is the output phase angle.

[0015] As can be seen from the above scheme, the present invention discloses a method for suppressing low-frequency oscillations in grid-type converters in DC distribution networks, which has the following beneficial effects: This invention relates to a method for suppressing low-frequency oscillations in grid-type converters in DC distribution networks. This method improves the damping effect of grid-type converters on low-frequency oscillations and enhances the stability of grid-type converters by feeding forward the DC voltage of the DC distribution network to the reactive power control loop of the grid-type converter without changing the main control structure and control parameters of the grid-type control.
