[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0033] The detection platform of this embodiment is compatible with the grid-connected performance detection of photovoltaic grid-connected inverters and energy storage converters, and includes a first DC power supply, a second DC power supply, an AC power supply, an anti-islanding RLC load, a multi-channel data recorder, a DC wiring cabinet, an AC wiring cabinet, a transformer T1, and a host computer centralized control system. The first DC power supply and the second DC power supply are both connected to the DC wiring cabinet, the AC power supply is connected to the AC wiring cabinet, and the anti-islanding RLC load is connected to the AC wiring cabinet through the transformer T1. The multi-channel data recorder is respectively connected to the DC wiring cabinet and the AC wiring cabinet to collect voltage and current data. The host computer centralized control system is respectively connected to the first DC power supply, the second DC power supply, the AC power supply, the anti-islanding RLC load, the DC wiring cabinet, the AC wiring cabinet, the transformer T1, and the multi-channel data recorder to control them and acquire data.
[0034] When testing, if Figure 1 As shown, the first DC power supply, the second DC power supply, and the AC power supply are all connected to the main power grid through a main power cabinet, also known as a distribution cabinet. The inverter / converter under test is connected to the DC wiring cabinet and / or AC wiring cabinet, and is also connected to the host computer centralized control system.
[0035] The DC power supply in this embodiment is bidirectional and programmable. It is controlled by the host computer centralized control system. It can simulate the IV curve output of photovoltaic array components and various types of energy storage batteries. The power can flow in both directions. In this design, two identical power supplies are used. They can be used in parallel or individually. This is achieved by controlling the DC wiring cabinet through the host computer centralized control system. Figure 2 As shown, the positive and negative poles of the first DC power supply are connected to the positive and negative ends of the DC terminal DC1 of the product under test via switch KM1, respectively. The positive and negative poles of the second DC power supply are connected to the positive and negative ends of the DC terminal DC2 of the product under test via switch KM3. Furthermore, the positive and negative poles of the first DC power supply are connected to the positive and negative poles of the second DC power supply via switch KM2, respectively. The multi-channel data recorder collects current and voltage data at DC terminals DC1 and DC2 through pre-set connection points in the DC wiring cabinet.
[0036] The AC power supply in this embodiment is bidirectionally programmable and can simulate the bidirectional power flow of a large power grid. Under the control of the host computer centralized control system, it can simulate the grid voltage amplitude and frequency changes, grid voltage superimposed harmonics, voltage fluctuations and flickers.
[0037] In this embodiment, the anti-islanding RLC load has a rated working line voltage of 400V / 50Hz and is compatible with 60Hz use. It consists of three parts: resistive load R, inductive load L, and capacitive load C. The three phases are adjustable separately, and the resistive, capacitive, and inductive loads are adjustable separately. It can be controlled and adjusted by the host computer centralized control system through the RS-485 bus. The active power design value of the resistive load matches the rated output active power of the AC power supply, and the active power of the resistive load, the reactive power of the inductive load, and the reactive power of the capacitive load can meet the quality factor Q at 50Hz and 60Hz. f = 1. The minimum standard power for resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads is 1W (VA), with a 1W (VA) step size. Load power is continuously adjustable. For anti-islanding RLC loads, we recommend the ACLT-681000T Anti-Islanding Test Device or the AC400V-1000kW-RLC Programmable RLC Load Simulator.
[0038] The above quality factor calculation formula is:
[0039]
[0040] Where:
[0041] P-resistive load active power;
[0042] Q1- inductive load reactive power;
[0043] Q C - Reactive power of capacitive loads.
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in the AC wiring cabinet, the terminal of the product under test is connected to the anti-islanding RLC load and the AC power supply through switches KM5 and KM4 respectively.
[0045] The multi-channel data recorder in this embodiment has 12 data acquisition channels, 11 of which can collect voltage data from 0-2000V and, in conjunction with an external current sensor, current data. The current sensor range must cover the maximum current of the line. The other channel is used to collect the control trigger signal of switch KM4. The multi-channel data recorder has a data sampling frequency of 2MHz and is connected to the host computer centralized control system via an RJ45 network port. The multi-channel data recorder selected in this embodiment combines post-data acquisition calculation and waveform display functions, displaying the collected data as a waveform.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the multi-channel data recorder collects the voltage U on the side of the product under test in the AC wiring cabinet. EUT and current I EUT , grid-side voltage U AC and current I AC , the voltage U on the island load sideload and current I load , and the control trigger signal of switch KM4. Switch KM4 is connected to an external AC power source and is used to disconnect from the AC power source. When disconnected, it generates a trigger signal to the multi-channel data recorder for testing anti-islanding protection. Switch KM5 is connected to an external transformer T1 and is used to disconnect from transformer T1.
[0047] The connection group number of transformer T1 is YNd11, the primary rated working voltage (Y connection) is Ue=400V, the maximum working voltage is 1.1Ue, and the secondary voltage is adjustable in five levels: 315V, 400V, 480V, 690V, and 800V. It can adapt to anti-islanding protection tests of inverters / converters under test with AC output voltages of 315V, 400V, 480V, 690V, and 800V.
[0048] The host computer centralized control system includes an industrial computer host, display, router, and control software. It controls the operation and data transmission of the DC power supply, AC power supply, and multi-channel data recorder via network cables. It also controls the internal switches of the DC and AC wiring cabinets. It also controls the switching of transformer T1 and anti-islanding RLC load adjustment via RS485. The host computer centralized control system has CAN, RS-485, and Ethernet communication ports. Through these ports, it communicates with the inverter / converter under test, issues control information, and collects and displays communication data.
[0049] The host computer software has the following functions: 1) Optional 20ms, 200ms, and 1s period recording data to calculate effective values; 2) Analyze and measure harmonics, interharmonics, and high-frequency harmonics; 3) Measure voltage fluctuations and flicker; 4) Record AC port voltage and current with a step size of 1ms and a sliding window period of 20ms, and calculate the positive-sequence, negative-sequence, and zero-sequence components of voltage, current, active current, reactive current, active power, and reactive power; 5) Integrated oscilloscope function, which can be used for waveform display and analysis in the software.
[0050] In this embodiment, in addition to the anti-islanding protection test, during the test, the electric energy is transferred from the main power cabinet to the DC power supply, then to the inverter / converter to be tested, then to the AC source, and finally back to the main power cabinet, or the electric energy is reversely circulated, all of which can realize the internal circulation of electric energy. With the internal circulation of electric energy, the entire testing platform has low energy consumption and is green and environmentally friendly. The grid-connected performance test items of the inverter and converter that can be completed in this embodiment include active power control, primary frequency modulation, inertia response, reactive power control, power quality, voltage fault ride-through, grid adaptability, anti-islanding protection, efficiency, and the charge and discharge switching time, voltage and current ripple detection of the converter.
