Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of new power systems, specifically to a negative feedback enhancement control method for new energy grid-connected converters that constructs an additional active power loop. This method aims to improve the dynamic characteristics of the control interaction loop in grid-connected converter systems, thereby improving the stability level under small disturbances and enhancing the operational performance of new energy grid-connected systems with high-inertia energy storage synchronous condensers in weak grid conditions. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing penetration rate of new energy sources, grid-connected converters with grid-following control have become the mainstream interface for connecting new energy power plants in modern power systems. Due to the spatial distribution characteristics of new energy resources, new energy power plants typically need to be connected to the main grid via long-distance transmission lines. Therefore, the AC grid adjacent to a new energy power plant usually has two characteristics: 1) high grid impedance; 2) insufficient inertia support. Under weak grid conditions, grid-connected converters for new energy are susceptible to a series of stability issues, including weakly damped oscillations, voltage and frequency stability problems. To address the stability challenges under weak grid conditions, high inertia energy storage synchronous condensers (HIESSCs) can provide both voltage and frequency support simultaneously, and have become an important technological development direction for improving the dynamic characteristics of new energy power plants. However, the integration of HIESSCs may alter the grid-side impedance characteristics, thereby reshaping the interaction between various control loops of the new energy source and raising uncertainty about the applicability of traditional control strategies for grid-connected converters based on grid-following control. Furthermore, a grid-connected system with a HIESSC-based converter is essentially a complex multi-closed-loop control system. Therefore, designing an additional damping controller capable of coordinating various internal control loops remains a significant challenge. Currently, scholars both domestically and internationally have conducted related research, as evidenced by the following published literature:

[0005] Reference [1] proposes a stability enhancement method for voltage source grid-connected converters based on qq channel impedance reshaping. It uses current reference value and modulation signal to replace steady-state quantity, thereby improving the adaptability of the strategy. However, this method does not adequately consider the impact of other internal control loops. This neglect may exacerbate dq axis coupling and even eventually induce system instability. Reference [2] proposes an active damping adaptive suppression measure combining notch filter and virtual resistor and applies it to offshore wind turbines. However, the above suppression methods using bandpass filter or notch filter can only suppress a specific frequency. When the external environment or grid operation mode changes, it is easy to cause the resonant frequency to drift, making the damping effect of the notch filter worse or even fail. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a negative feedback enhancement control method for new energy grid-connected converters that constructs an additional active power loop. This method aims to improve the dynamic characteristics of the control interaction loop of the new energy grid-connected converter system, thereby enhancing the stability level under small disturbances from a mechanistic perspective and improving the operational performance of new energy grid-connected systems with high-inertia energy storage synchronous condensers under weak power grid conditions.

[0019] This invention focuses on a grid-connected system of a renewable energy grid-connected converter containing a HIESSC (High-Intensity Grid-Connected Converter). It fully considers the interactions of multiple control loops and the effects of d-q axis coupling, calculating the additional compensation DC voltage in the renewable energy grid-connected converter control system to enhance the system's active power negative feedback and effectively improve the small-disturbance stability of the renewable energy grid-connected system containing a HIESSC under weak grid conditions. Furthermore, in the calculation of the additional compensation DC voltage, the reference value of the d-axis current of the renewable energy grid-connected converter is used instead of the steady-state value of the d-axis current, effectively improving the adaptability of the proposed negative feedback enhanced control strategy.

[0025] This invention is used to improve the small disturbance stability of new energy grid-connected systems containing HIESSC under weak grid conditions. Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a renewable energy grid-connected system including a HIESSC. The system consists of a 100MW renewable energy grid-connected converter and a HIESSC operating in parallel at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). The renewable energy grid-connected converter is connected to the grid via a power converter, filter, and step-up transformer T1; the HIESSC is connected to the grid via step-up transformer T2. Figure 2 This is a block diagram of a grid-connected renewable energy converter control system. A typical control strategy for a grid-connected renewable energy converter is to use a phase-locked loop (PLL) to obtain the phase of the PCC voltage, thereby achieving synchronization and decoupling control with the grid. The outer loop is a DC voltage outer loop to maintain the stability of the DC bus voltage; the inner loop is a current inner loop to ensure rapid current regulation.
[0026] This invention proposes a negative feedback enhancement control method for renewable energy grid-connected converters by constructing an additional active power loop. It calculates the additional compensating DC voltage in the renewable energy converter control system, increasing the system's active power negative feedback effect to improve the small disturbance stability of grid-connected converters in weak power grids. For example... Figure 3 As shown, this method acquires the q-axis current i in the grid-connected converter control system. cq Phase-locked loop angular frequency output and DC voltage outer loop output i cdref As an input signal for the additional stabilizer, a DC isolation loop is set up to extract the q-axis current disturbance component and the phase-locked loop angular frequency output disturbance component. Furthermore, transfer function calculations are performed on these input signals to obtain an additional compensating DC voltage, which is then fed forward to the DC voltage control loop. This strategy can enhance the active power negative feedback effect of the grid-connected system under weak grid conditions, suppress the local positive feedback effect dynamically introduced by the PLL, and enhance the small disturbance stability of the grid-connected system under weak grid conditions.
[0027] The specific calculation for the additional compensation DC voltage is as follows:

As can be seen from the figure, the reactive power Q... c Maintaining at 0.0 pu, at 3 seconds, the active power output P of the new energy grid-connected converter... cWhen the active power was increased to 0.90 pu, the system began to oscillate and lose stability. Then, at 4s, the negative feedback enhancement control strategy for the renewable energy grid-connected converter based on the additional active power loop proposed in this invention was applied, and the system oscillation was effectively suppressed, and the system returned to stability. At 5s, the active power of the renewable energy grid-connected converter was further increased to the rated power, and the system still remained stable. Simulation results show that the strategy proposed in this invention can effectively improve the stability margin of the system and enhance the active power output capability of the renewable energy grid-connected system.
[0042] Therefore, the negative feedback enhancement control strategy for new energy grid-connected converters based on additional active power loop proposed in this invention can effectively improve the dynamic characteristics of the system control interaction loop and enhance the safe and stable operation capability of new energy grid-connected systems containing HIESSC.
