Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the fields of new energy power generation and power electronics technology, specifically to a maximum power point tracking stability control method for a grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter. Background Technology

[0002] With the construction of new power systems, grid-connected photovoltaic inverters have attracted much attention due to their ability to actively support grid voltage and frequency. Among them, virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology, by simulating the rotor motion equation of a synchronous generator, endows the inverter with the necessary virtual inertia and damping, effectively improving the system stability under weak grid conditions.

[0003] However, existing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategies based on VSG power synchronization control have significant drawbacks when dealing with drastic fluctuations in solar irradiance. When solar irradiance changes abruptly, the available power of the photovoltaic array changes drastically, and traditional VSG control often leads to deterioration of system dynamic performance and even DC voltage instability. For example, in the patent "CN105552968B; Inverter control system and method based on MPPT and virtual synchronous machine characteristics", a single-stage topology, fixed-parameter traditional VSG and unconditional pure MPPT scheme are used. Relying solely on the DC bus capacitor to buffer power fluctuations, the power command jumps drastically when solar irradiance changes significantly. Coupled with the response lag caused by VSG inertia, this easily leads to deterioration of system dynamic performance and DC voltage instability.

[0004] The fundamental reason lies in the inherent contradiction between the inertial response characteristics of VSG control and the requirement for rapid power tracking at the photovoltaic source side: on the one hand, grid-connected inverters must maintain sufficient virtual inertia to provide effective grid support, which physically limits the rate of change of active power output, preventing rapid abrupt changes; on the other hand, when sudden changes in sunlight cause drastic fluctuations in photovoltaic power, the system must quickly adjust its output power to maintain instantaneous power balance on the DC side. This mutual exclusion between the requirements for dynamic response speed in "inertial support" and "rapid tracking" makes it difficult for a single fixed control framework to achieve both, and the system is highly susceptible to collapse due to DC-side power imbalance.

[0005] Therefore, how to break through the limitations of the traditional single control framework and effectively resolve the inherent contradiction between virtual inertia support and rapid source-end power tracking, so as to ensure the active support capability of the power grid while taking into account the system stability under complex operating conditions, has become a key technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0032] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present application, but do not limit the present application in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present application. These all fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0034] In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0035] The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the embodiments of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units listed, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0036] Existing technologies primarily employ maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategies based on virtual synchronous generator (VSG) power synchronization control. These strategies use simulated rotor motion equations to impart virtual inertia to the inverter, thus supporting the grid. However, a drawback is that the VSG's inertia response limits the rate of change of active power, fundamentally contradicting the requirement for rapid source-side power tracking during sudden changes in solar illumination. This makes it difficult for a single control framework to simultaneously address grid support and dynamic response, easily leading to dynamic performance degradation or even DC voltage instability during severe solar illumination fluctuations. To address these issues, this application provides a method for stable MPPT control of a grid-connected centralized photovoltaic inverter, resolving these problems.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a maximum power point tracking stability control method for a grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 As shown in one embodiment of this application, a maximum power point tracking stability control method for a grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter is provided, which can employ S11 to S14.

[0039] S11. If the current sampling time interval is not less than the preset sampling period, read the current control mode and obtain the DC voltage change rate, photovoltaic input power change rate, and the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power of the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter.

[0040] Specifically, the control mode is either VSG power synchronization control mode or DC voltage synchronization control mode.

[0041] S12, If the time interval between the current and the last mode switch is greater than the preset interlocking time, determine the control mode switching conditions according to the current control mode.

[0042] Specifically, the control mode switching condition is either an instability condition or a steady-state condition.

[0043] S13. Based on the DC voltage change rate, the photovoltaic input power change rate, the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power, and the control mode switching conditions, determine and switch to a new control mode.

[0044] S14, based on the new control mode and the previous control mode, determine the DC voltage reference value and the photovoltaic output power reference value through the reference value smooth transition strategy, and perform maximum power point tracking control.

[0045] Based on the above steps S11 to S14, during the period when the inverter system is operating normally and the lighting conditions are relatively stable, the VSG power synchronization control mode with a large virtual inertia is adopted to give full play to the active support capability of the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter for the power grid.

[0046] When there are significant and rapid changes in sunlight and the DC side is at risk of instability, the control mode is switched to DC voltage synchronous control mode. This mode utilizes the advantages of matching control to directly adjust the DC voltage and fast power tracking to quickly stabilize the DC bus and enable the photovoltaic array to quickly adapt to the maximum power point in the new environment.

[0047] Once the inverter system returns to steady-state operation and the lighting conditions stabilize again, it will automatically and smoothly switch back to the VSG power synchronization control mode to provide inertial support to the grid again.

[0048] By adopting a hybrid control strategy that switches grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverters on demand, the system can balance the inertia characteristics required for grid support and the rapid power point tracking capability required for sudden changes in sunlight, even without the assistance of energy storage devices.

[0049] The embodiments described above in this application obtain multi-dimensional state variables such as the rate of change of DC voltage, the rate of change of photovoltaic input power, and the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power by reading the current control mode. Combined with the lockout time and instability / steady-state conditions, adaptive switching between VSG power synchronization and DC voltage synchronization control modes is achieved. At the same time, a reference value smooth transition strategy is adopted to smoothly determine the tracking reference value. This enables operation in VSG power synchronization control mode to provide inertia and frequency support when the illumination is stable, and smooth switching to DC voltage synchronization control mode when the illumination changes abruptly to prevent DC-side instability and achieve rapid power point tracking. After reaching a steady state, it automatically switches back to VSG power synchronization control mode. Without the need for additional energy storage equipment, stable control and maximum power point tracking of the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter under full illumination variation can be achieved through state perception and smooth mode switching.

[0050] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a control mode determination logic according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 As shown, key state quantities are collected at fixed intervals to provide accurate basis for judging the risk of sudden changes in light intensity and realizing mode switching. In some specific embodiments of this application, for S11, if the current sampling time interval is not less than the preset sampling period, the current control mode is read and the DC voltage change rate, photovoltaic input power change rate and DC voltage derivative with respect to photovoltaic input power of the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter are obtained. This can be achieved by using S111 to S113.

[0052] S111, If ​​the current sampling time interval is greater than the preset sampling period, read the current control mode.

[0053] Specifically, if ,in, Indicates the current sampling time interval. This indicates the preset sampling period and reads the current control mode as either VSG power synchronization control mode or DC voltage synchronization control mode.

[0054] S112, obtain the average DC voltage and average photovoltaic input power of the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter within a preset sampling period since the last sampling time.

[0055] Specifically, obtain the time since the last sampling time. DC voltage of the internal grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter Average value and photovoltaic input power average value.

[0056] S113, based on the average DC voltage, the average photovoltaic input power, and the preset sampling period, determine the DC voltage change rate, the photovoltaic input power change rate, and the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power.

[0057] Specifically, the rate of change of DC voltage is expressed as The rate of change of photovoltaic input power is expressed as The derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power is: .

[0058] In this embodiment, the DC voltage change rate, the photovoltaic input power change rate, and the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power are used as the basis for determining the switching of control modes for grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverters.

[0059] The fundamental purpose of control mode switching is to address the problem of rapid DC voltage drops and the operating point slipping into the unstable region on the left side of the PV curve of the photovoltaic array under conditions such as sudden drops in sunlight, ultimately leading to system instability. Therefore, the design of the switching criteria needs to consider two requirements simultaneously: first, the ability to quickly identify anomalies within a limited time window before instability occurs; and second, the ability to accurately distinguish between genuine instability risks and voltage fluctuations during the normal maximum power point (MPTT) search process, avoiding erroneous switching. This requires that the criterion's characteristic quantities reflect the essential characteristics of the instability process from different dimensions, rather than relying on a single indicator.

[0060] The first characteristic quantity for judgment is the rate of change of DC voltage. A rapid drop in DC voltage is the most significant and direct sign that an inverter system is about to become unstable. Traditional VSG power synchronization control takes output power as the direct control object. Regardless of whether the DC voltage change originates from changes in the external environment or a failure of the control strategy itself, the VSG power synchronization control structure lacks a direct sensing and rapid response channel for the DC voltage. The DC voltage can only indirectly affect the power reference value through the MPPT algorithm, and then be slowly adjusted through the inertia link of the active power loop. This characteristic determines that the VSG power synchronization control mode cannot respond promptly and effectively to rapid drops in DC voltage. Therefore, using the rate of change of DC voltage as one of the switching criteria can directly capture this inherent blind spot of VSG power synchronization control.

[0061] The second criterion characteristic is the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power. Relying solely on the rate of change of DC voltage carries the risk of misjudgment: During the normal MPPT search process, when the inverter system adjusts towards the maximum power point with large step sizes, the DC voltage may also drop rapidly. However, at this time, the operating point is approaching the maximum power point from the right side of the PV curve, and the inverter system is still within a controllable and stable region. However, once the operating point crosses the maximum power point and enters the unstable region on the left, the output characteristics of the photovoltaic array will undergo a qualitative change. Analysis of photovoltaic characteristics shows that the incremental conductance in the left region of the PV curve is negative, and the change direction of the photovoltaic input power is opposite to that of the DC voltage. Therefore, by using the voltage-power derivative as the second criterion characteristic quantity, we can essentially distinguish between two voltage drop processes that are similar in state but have completely different properties: "normally approaching the maximum power point" and "crossing the maximum power point and entering the unstable region".

[0062] The third criterion characteristic is the rate of change of photovoltaic input power. A sudden drop in solar illumination directly impacts the inverter by causing a rapid decrease in input power. Introducing the rate of change of input power as an auxiliary criterion allows for the early detection of abnormal changes in photovoltaic power before a significant drop in DC voltage, providing early warning information for switching decisions. Simultaneously, and The combination of direction and amplitude helps to distinguish between "power decrease caused by sudden changes in illumination" and "power fluctuation caused by grid-side disturbances". This manifests as a rapid decrease in both photovoltaic input power and DC voltage in the same direction. The main manifestation is fluctuations in AC output power, while the impact on photovoltaic input power is limited.

[0063] Reference Figure 2 As shown, mode indicates the current control mode: To avoid over-frequency sampling, reduce the system's computational burden, and ensure the accuracy of the state variable change rate calculation, in some specific embodiments of this application, for S11, if the current sampling time interval is not less than the preset sampling period, the current control mode is read, and the DC voltage change rate, photovoltaic input power change rate, and the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power of the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter are obtained, S114 can also be used.

[0064] S114. If the current sampling time interval is not greater than the preset sampling period, then there is no need to read the current control mode and the average DC voltage and average photovoltaic input power of the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter, and wait for the sampling time interval to be greater than the preset sampling period.

[0065] The embodiments described above in this application construct a mode switching criterion that balances speed and accuracy by collecting and calculating three multi-dimensional feature quantities: the rate of change of DC voltage, the rate of change of photovoltaic input power, and the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power at a fixed sampling period. This criterion can both use the rate of change of DC voltage and the rate of change of input power to provide timely warning of anomalies caused by sudden changes in illumination before instability occurs, and effectively distinguish the essential difference between normal MPPT search and entering the unstable region on the left side of the PV curve by using the voltage-power derivative, thus avoiding false switching. This allows for accurate identification of real instability risks under conditions without energy storage, ensuring smooth switching of control modes and stable system operation.

[0066] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a control mode switching condition according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0067] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in order to determine the control mode switching conditions, in some specific embodiments of this application, for S12, if the time interval between the current and the last mode switching is greater than the preset locking time, the control mode switching conditions are determined according to the current control mode, which can be done by: S121 to S122.

[0068] S121, If ​​the time interval between the current and the last mode switch is greater than the preset blocking time, the current control mode is VSG power synchronization control mode, and the control mode switching condition is determined to be instability condition.

[0069] Specifically, after the control mode is switched to the DC voltage synchronization control mode, a certain period of lockout is required to prevent frequent switching of control mode during transient fluctuations. Therefore, the lockout time is set.

[0070] The preset locking time is T lock The last time the mode was switched was t change , t Indicates the current time.

[0071] For example, the preset locking time can be set to T lock =0.5s.

[0072] The instability conditions include the DC voltage change rate being less than a preset first constant, the photovoltaic input power change rate being less than a preset second constant, and the DC voltage derivative with respect to the photovoltaic input power being greater than a preset third constant.

[0073] Specifically, the preset first constant is expressed as: The preset second constant is expressed as The preset third constant is expressed as .

[0074] The instability condition is: in, This represents the rate of change of DC voltage. Indicates the rate of change of photovoltaic input power. This represents the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power.

[0075] S122, If the time interval between the current and the last mode switch is greater than the preset blocking time, the current control mode is DC voltage synchronization control mode, and the control mode switching condition is determined to be a steady-state condition.

[0076] The steady-state conditions include that the absolute value of the rate of change of DC voltage is less than a preset fourth constant, and the absolute value of the rate of change of photovoltaic input power is less than a preset fifth constant, and the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power is less than a preset sixth constant.

[0077] Specifically, the preset fourth constant is: The preset fifth constant is The preset sixth constant is .

[0078] The steady-state condition is: in, Represents the absolute value of the rate of change of DC voltage. It represents the absolute value of the rate of change of photovoltaic input power.

[0079] Specifically, steps S121 and S122 are parallel, and one of them must be performed.

[0080] In some specific embodiments of this application, if the time interval between the current time and the last mode switch is not greater than the preset blocking time, in order to prevent frequent switching of control modes during transient fluctuations, the mode switching is stopped until the time interval between the current time and the last mode switch is greater than the preset blocking time.

[0081] The embodiments described above in this application, by setting control mode switching conditions differently according to the current mode after the lockout time ends, detect instability to trigger protection in VSG power synchronization control mode, and detect steady state to restore normal control in DC voltage synchronization control mode, realizes bidirectional adaptive switching logic. This not only avoids malfunctions and frequent oscillations during transient processes, but also ensures that the inverter system can respond in time when a fault occurs and automatically return to the optimal operating state after recovery. This significantly improves the stability, reliability and dynamic adaptability of the grid-connected photovoltaic inverter control strategy.

[0082] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in order to achieve dynamic judgment and control mode switching, in some specific embodiments of this application, for S13, the new control mode is determined and switched to according to the DC voltage change rate, the photovoltaic input power change rate, the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power and the control mode switching conditions, which can be implemented as S131 to S134.

[0083] S131, if the current control mode is VSG power synchronization control mode, determine whether the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter meets the instability condition. If it does, determine the new control mode as DC voltage synchronization control mode and switch to DC voltage synchronization control mode.

[0084] Specifically, a grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter meets the instability conditions, namely, the rate of change of DC voltage is less than a preset first constant, the rate of change of photovoltaic input power is less than a preset second constant, and the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power is greater than a preset third constant, indicating instability, and switches from VSG power synchronization control mode to DC voltage synchronization control mode.

[0085] S132, if the current control mode is VSG power synchronization control mode, determine whether the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter meets the instability conditions. If not, determine the new control mode as VSG power synchronization control mode and maintain the VSG power synchronization control mode.

[0086] Specifically, if a grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter does not meet the instability conditions, that is, if any one or more of the following conditions are not met: the rate of change of DC voltage is less than a preset first constant, the rate of change of photovoltaic input power is less than a preset second constant, or the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power is greater than a preset third constant, it indicates that it is not instable and maintains the VSG power synchronization control mode.

[0121] This application provides a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) stability control method for a grid-type centralized photovoltaic (PV) inverter. When the illumination is stable, the inverter system operates in VSG power synchronization control mode, which can provide inertia and frequency support to the grid. When the illumination changes abruptly, it smoothly switches to DC voltage synchronization control mode, using direct DC voltage regulation to achieve rapid power point tracking and prevent DC-side instability. After the inverter system returns to steady state, it automatically switches back to VSG power synchronization control mode, thereby achieving stable control of the centralized grid-type PV inverter under full illumination variations.

[0123] The following examples and comparative examples will be used to further illustrate this application in order to better understand the above-mentioned technical solutions. It should be understood that the following are only some examples and are not intended to limit this application.

[0124] To verify the method provided in this application, simulation experiments were conducted using simulation software.

[0125] Operating Condition 1: The initial light intensity was set to 1500 W / m2, and dropped to 800 W / m2 in 1.5s.

[0126] Figure 9 This is a simulation diagram illustrating a conventional control strategy under operating condition 1 according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0127] Figure 9 In this context, (a) represents the DC voltage and active power controlled using the traditional control strategy under operating condition 1. Figure 9(b) in the figure represents the light intensity under condition 1.

[0128] Reference Figure 9 As shown, when the traditional virtual synchronous machine control strategy is used, the DC voltage drops rapidly during sudden changes in light intensity, which in turn causes the active power of the system to drop rapidly. This leads to frequent oscillations in DC voltage and active power, resulting in system instability.

[0129] Figure 10 This is a simulation diagram illustrating a maximum power point tracking stability control method for a grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter under operating condition 1, according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0130] Figure 10 In this context, (a) represents the DC voltage and active power controlled by the method provided in this application under operating condition 1. Figure 10 (b) in the figure represents the light intensity under condition 1.

[0131] Reference Figure 10 As shown, using the method provided in this application, after detecting a rapid drop in DC voltage, the inverter system can automatically switch to DC voltage synchronous control mode in a very short time. Both the output power and DC voltage can quickly recover to a new steady state within 0.05s. After the inverter system stabilizes, it can also automatically switch back to the VGS power synchronous control mode of the virtual synchronous generator.

[0132] Operating Condition 2: The initial light intensity is set to 1000 W / m2, and the grid frequency drops by 0.2Hz in 1.5s-2s.

[0133] Figure 11 This is a simulation diagram illustrating a conventional control strategy under operating condition 2 according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0134] Figure 11 In this context, (a) represents the DC voltage and active power controlled using the traditional control strategy under operating condition 2. Figure 11 (b) in the figure represents the light intensity under condition 2.

[0135] Reference Figure 11 As shown, the effect of using only the VGS power synchronization control mode is that after the grid frequency drops, the VGS power synchronization control mode generates additional active power to support the grid frequency according to the primary frequency regulation droop characteristic. However, at this time, the input power of the photovoltaic array is limited by the lighting conditions and does not increase. All the additional active power comes from the discharge of the DC bus capacitor. Since the preset active power reserve margin under this condition is insufficient to cover all the additional power required for the frequency drop, the DC voltage continues to drop and eventually crosses the maximum power point of the PV curve and enters the unstable region on the left. The inverter system becomes unstable, and the output power collapses accordingly.

Figure 12 (b) in the diagram represents the light intensity under condition 2. Reference Figure 12 As shown, when the method provided in this application is adopted, it can react in time when the DC voltage shows a downward trend and switch to DC voltage synchronous control, thus preventing further instability.

[0138] Figure 13 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a maximum power point tracking stability control system for a grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0139] Reference Figure 13 As shown in another embodiment of this application, a maximum power point tracking stability control system 100 for a grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter is provided, including: a sampling module 110, a control mode switching condition determination module 120, a control mode switching module 130, and a maximum power point tracking control module 140.

[0140] The sampling module 110 is used to read the current control mode and obtain the DC voltage change rate, photovoltaic input power change rate and DC voltage derivative with respect to photovoltaic input power of the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter if the current sampling time interval is not less than the preset sampling period. The control mode is either VSG power synchronization control mode or DC voltage synchronization control mode. The control mode switching condition determination module 120 is used to determine the control mode switching condition based on the current control mode if the time interval between the current and the last mode switching is greater than the preset blocking time. The control mode switching condition is either an instability condition or a steady-state condition. The control mode switching module 130 is used to determine and switch to a new control mode based on the DC voltage change rate, the photovoltaic input power change rate, the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power, and the control mode switching conditions. The maximum power point tracking control module 140 is used to determine the DC voltage reference value and the photovoltaic output power reference value through a reference value smooth transition strategy based on the new control mode and the previous control mode, and to perform maximum power point tracking control.

[0141] The embodiments described above in this application obtain multi-dimensional state variables such as the rate of change of DC voltage, the rate of change of photovoltaic input power, and the derivative of DC voltage with respect to photovoltaic input power by reading the current control mode. Combined with the lockout time and instability / steady-state conditions, adaptive switching between VSG power synchronization and DC voltage synchronization control modes is achieved. At the same time, a reference value smooth transition strategy is adopted to smoothly determine the tracking reference value. This enables operation in VSG power synchronization control mode to provide inertia and frequency support when the illumination is stable, and smooth switching to DC voltage synchronization control mode when the illumination changes abruptly to prevent DC-side instability and achieve rapid power point tracking. After reaching a steady state, it automatically switches back to VSG power synchronization control mode. Without the need for additional energy storage equipment, stable control and maximum power point tracking of the grid-type centralized photovoltaic inverter under full illumination variation can be achieved through state perception and smooth mode switching.
