Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dynamic model experimental technology, specifically relating to a new energy AC / DC hybrid dynamic model platform that supports multiple types of DC power transmission. Background Technology
[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] With the advancement of the "dual carbon" target, the proportion of new energy power generation, represented by wind power and photovoltaics, continues to increase. New power systems are exhibiting new characteristics such as a high proportion of power electronic devices, low system inertia, and prominent broadband oscillation risks. To study the operating characteristics and control strategies of large-scale new energy transmission through AC / DC hybrid power grids, dynamic model experimental platforms have become an important verification method.
[0004] Existing dynamic model experimental platforms have the following main shortcomings in supporting research on novel power systems:
[0005] First, the AC side lacks multi-machine interaction and impedance simulation capabilities. Traditional platforms mostly adopt simple parallel structures, lacking multi-machine refined simulation cabinets and layered line impedance simulation designs, and usually do not have open hardware programming interfaces, making it difficult to reproduce the complex dynamic characteristics under high proportion of new energy access and wide range of grid strength adaptability experiments.
[0006] Second, the DC transmission system suffers from limited configuration and lacks topology reconfiguration capabilities. Most existing platforms are not equipped with LCC and MMC converters, or only support a single fixed topology. They cannot achieve multiple combination modes of LCC and MMC through hardware switching, making it difficult to simulate the complex operating scenario of high proportion of new energy being transmitted via AC / DC hybrid interconnection.
[0007] Therefore, existing dynamic model experimental platforms still have significant shortcomings in terms of refined simulation on the AC side and flexible topology reconstruction on the DC side, which greatly restricts the dynamic model experimental research capabilities of high-proportion new energy AC / DC hybrid systems.

[0038] As described in the background section, the purpose of this invention is to provide a new energy AC / DC hybrid dynamic simulation platform that supports multiple types of DC power transmission, in order to solve the shortcomings of existing dynamic simulation platforms in terms of lack of AC multi-machine interaction and impedance simulation capabilities, single configuration of DC power transmission systems, and lack of topology reconfiguration capabilities.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] In a typical embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a new energy AC / DC hybrid linkage model platform that supports multiple types of DC power transmission, which mainly includes three core modules: a power grid simulation system, an AC simulation system, and a DC transmission system.
[0041] In this embodiment, the power grid simulation system includes a power grid simulator. The power grid simulator adopts a full four-quadrant feedback architecture and has bidirectional configuration capabilities: it can be configured as a power supply mode, outputting programmable voltage and frequency to simulate different power grid operating conditions; it can also be configured as a load mode, acting as a full four-quadrant electronic load to absorb system power and simulate the characteristics of the receiving-end power grid or load. Through the full four-quadrant feedback power grid simulator, programmable adjustment of all parameters of voltage, frequency, and impedance, as well as load mode reuse, can be achieved. It can simulate various typical faults and extreme operating conditions such as low voltage ride-through and frequency fluctuations, while also possessing energy feedback functionality, thus saving energy and protecting the environment.
[0042] As a further implementation, the power grid simulation system also includes a main transformer simulation cabinet connected to the power grid simulator. This cabinet contains an isolation transformer. When a short circuit or other fault occurs within the platform, the isolation transformer can limit the fault current, preventing it from spreading to the upstream power source, thus achieving electrical isolation and simulating the physical characteristics of an actual grid-connected transformer. As a further implementation, the isolation transformer built into the main transformer simulation cabinet uses a 1:1 turns ratio isolation transformer for electrical isolation, protecting personnel and equipment and enhancing reliability.
[0043] Considering that traditional dynamic simulation test platforms struggle to achieve full-element hybrid access of new energy inverters, synchronous generators, SVG, and DC transmission systems within a single system, which limits the multi-dimensional dynamic characteristic analysis of AC / DC hybrid systems containing a high proportion of power electronic equipment, this embodiment includes an upper-level line simulation unit and multiple branch units connected to the upper-level line simulation unit. As an example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the upper-level line simulation unit is an upper-level line simulation cabinet, which contains bus I. Bus I is connected to a grid switch to lead out four branch units. The four branch units include a static var generator branch, a synchronous machine branch, and two lower-level line simulation units. As an optional implementation, the number of branch units can be expanded according to actual needs.
[0044] As a further implementation, a cascaded enhanced SVG is configured in the static var generator branch (SVG branch) to provide dynamic reactive power support and impedance reshaping control, which can effectively suppress broadband oscillations.
[0045] In the synchronous machine branch, an electrically excited synchronous generator set is connected. This electrically excited synchronous generator set is equipped with a prime mover simulation device, which can be flexibly configured to simulate the generator mode of a conventional generator set or to provide reactive power support and rotational inertia in the mode of a synchronous condenser.
[0046] Each lower-level line simulation unit is connected to a new energy simulation unit. As an example, the lower-level line simulation unit can be a lower-level line simulation cabinet, used to simulate the impedance characteristics of the internal collector lines of a wind farm or photovoltaic power station. The new energy simulation unit is a four-unit new energy simulation cabinet, containing four universal grid-connected inverters connected in parallel via independent branches. Each universal grid-connected inverter is equipped with an open hardware programming interface, supporting the rapid implantation of user-defined control modules and hardware-in-the-loop testing. This can be used to study the coupling oscillation characteristics and collaborative control strategies of multiple inverters operating in parallel, providing a convenient way for the research and verification of new grid-connected control strategies.
[0047] In this embodiment, both the upper-level and lower-level line simulation units integrate adjustable tapped inductors to simulate the collector line impedance under different short-circuit ratios. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the adjustable tap inductor consists of four inductor coils connected in series, each with a fixed inductance of 0.5mH. Five taps, Tap1 to Tap5, are led out from the two ends and the middle connection point of the inductor coils. The inflow and outflow ends of the circuit can be arbitrarily connected to different taps. By changing the tap positions connected to the inflow and outflow ends, the number of turns of the inductor coil connected to the circuit can be adjusted, thereby changing the inductance value. For example, when both the inflow and outflow ends are connected to Tap1, the inductance is 0mH; when the inflow end is connected to Tap1 and the outflow end is connected to Tap5, all four inductor coils are connected, and the total inductance is 2.0mH. This tiered adjustment method can accurately simulate different short-circuit ratio conditions from strong to extremely weak power grids, as well as the impedance characteristics of lines of different lengths.
[0048] By designing a hierarchical line simulation unit and a multi-unit parallel structure for new energy power plants, the multi-unit coupled oscillation characteristics of high-proportion new energy power plants can be realistically reproduced, and wide-range short-circuit ratio adaptability experiments from strong grids to extremely weak grids can be supported. The combined use of upper-level and lower-level line simulation units can accurately simulate the collector line impedance characteristics at different voltage levels.
[0049] The DC transmission system provides flexible DC topology reconfiguration capabilities. This system includes independent conventional DC LCC converter units and flexible DC MMC converter units. These units are not fixedly connected but selectively connected via switching units to construct at least two different types of DC transmission topologies. As an example, the conventional DC LCC converter unit can be a conventional DC LCC converter cabinet, the flexible DC MMC converter unit can be a flexible DC MMC converter cabinet, and the switching unit can be a switch matrix. The conventional DC LCC converter cabinet and the flexible DC MMC converter cabinet are physically reconfigured through the switch matrix. By switching the on / off states of the switches in the switch matrix, various DC transmission topologies can be flexibly constructed, including but not limited to LCC-LCC, MMC-MMC, LCC-MMC, and MMC-LCC DC transmission topologies. By designing independent LCC / MMC converter units and switching units, various DC transmission topologies can be flexibly constructed on the same physical platform, including pure conventional DC, pure flexible DC, and hybrid DC, providing a hardware foundation for comparative studies of different technical routes and facilitating the verification of system interaction characteristics and control coordination under various DC topology combinations.
[0050] As a further embodiment, the DC transmission system also includes a DC line simulation unit and an AC line simulation unit, used to simulate the impedance characteristics of the DC transmission line and the near-field AC line, respectively. As an example, the DC line simulation unit can be a DC line simulation cabinet, and the AC line simulation unit can be an AC line simulation cabinet. Both the DC line simulation unit and the AC line simulation unit are equipped with... Figure 2 The multi-tap adjustable inductor shown can simulate the impedance characteristics of DC lines of different lengths by switching the tap inductance values.
[0051] In this embodiment, the power grid simulator can be selectively connected to either the AC simulation system or the DC transmission system. Specifically, it is connected to bus I of the AC simulation system and the receiving end of the DC transmission system via contactors or circuit breakers, respectively. When the power grid simulator is connected to bus I, it serves as the power source for the AC simulation system, providing a programmable grid voltage to the entire AC side. When the power grid simulator is connected to the receiving end of the DC transmission system, it operates in load mode, simulating the characteristics of the receiving end grid or load, absorbing power from the DC system, and realizing bidirectional power flow and energy feedback.
[0052] This embodiment of the new energy AC / DC hybrid linkage module platform supporting multiple types of DC power transmission constructs a real physical experimental environment for the multi-dimensional dynamic characteristics of AC / DC hybrid systems with a high proportion of power electronic devices by integrating and coordinating new energy inverters, synchronous generators, SVG and DC power transmission systems on the same platform. This allows for comprehensive verification of the feasibility of system-level control strategies.

[0054] (1) Basic characteristics test of new energy grid connection: Using the programming function of the grid simulator, the grid fault conditions such as voltage fault ride-through, frequency fluctuation and harmonic injection can be simulated to verify the grid connection adaptability and fault response capability of new energy inverters in extreme environments.

[0056] (3) Open control strategy verification test: Relying on the open hardware programming interface of the general grid-connected inverter, it supports the rapid implantation of user-defined control algorithms and hardware-in-the-loop testing to verify the feasibility of the new grid-connected control strategy.
[0057] (4) DC transmission base operation test: By switching the state of the switch unit, an independent LCC or MMC DC transmission system can be constructed to simulate the impedance of different line lengths and verify the steady-state operation characteristics, start-stop control and fault protection logic of conventional DC and flexible DC systems.
[0058] (5) Hybrid DC topology reconfiguration test: By flexibly switching the switching matrix, the LCC-MMC hybrid DC transmission scenario simulation is realized, and the system interaction characteristics, power coordination control and fault ride-through strategies under various DC topology combinations are verified.
[0059] (6) New energy transmission via DC system-level test: The new energy cluster of the AC simulation system is connected to the DC transmission system to simulate the full working conditions of the Shagohuang large base via DC transmission, and to verify the overall stability, transient response characteristics and coordinated control strategy of the AC-DC hybrid system.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
