Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of transient stability parameter design technology for new energy power generation, specifically a parameter design method for improving transient stability under asymmetrical faults in grid-connected converters. Background Technology
[0002] Compared to grid-connected converters, grid-connected converters have better active voltage and frequency support capabilities and have received widespread attention in recent years. However, under asymmetrical grid faults, grid-connected converters may suffer from serious transient stability problems, mainly including transient synchronization stability problems and frequency stability problems.
[0003] Reasonable parameter design is crucial for the transient synchronization stability and frequency stability of grid-connected converters. The rate of change of frequency (RoCoF), a key indicator of frequency stability, is explicitly required by IEEE Std 1547-2018 to not exceed 3 Hz / s. Existing technologies suggest that virtual inertia can improve system frequency stability, but it can worsen transient synchronization stability. Other existing technologies propose using well-designed virtual inertia and damping to meet the rate of change of frequency requirements while ensuring transient synchronization stability, but these are limited to symmetrical faults. However, based on grid operation experience, the proportion of asymmetrical faults in power grids is far higher than that of symmetrical faults.
