Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to but is not limited to the field of power system security analysis, in particular to a method, and apparatus for determining voltage support strength of a renewable energy power system in real time, a computer-readable storage medium and a computer program product.BACKGROUND

[0002] With the integration of wind power plants, photovoltaic plants and other renewable energy plants into the traditional power network, a renewable energy power system has been gradually formed. Due to the regional and seasonal imbalance of wind power resources and photoelectric resources, the consumption, energy storage and transmission of wind power resources and photoelectric resources in the renewable energy power system have increasingly become obstacles restricting the renewable energy power system in development and exerting potential. If the system cannot provide enough voltage support, large-scale safe and reliable power transmission of renewable energy cannot be realized. It is required to monitor voltage support strength at key points of the renewable energy system in real time, and pay attention to voltage support strength provided by the system, so as to ensure the transmission scale of the renewable energy within a safe range.

[0003] The output of the renewable energy has the characteristics of randomness and fluctuation, which leads to the complex and changeable operation mode of the power system, and further increases the difficulty in real-time monitoring of voltage support strength of the system. At present, the voltage support strength of the system is analyzed by calculating a short circuit ratio of a terminal bus of a renewable energy unit or a short circuit ratio of a bus of a renewable energy plant. The short circuit ratio is calculated by offline data. The short circuit ratio cannot be measured in real time based on local real-time measurement information. The real-time measurement of the short circuit ratio has great hysteresis in time. After the output level of the renewable energy changes or a system is disturbed, operators cannot obtain the present short circuit ratio of the system in a timely manner, and cannot analyze the voltage support strength of the system, thus being unable to provide reference for optimization and adjustment for control strategy in a timely manner.

[0004] Background may be found in CN 115 829 264 A (CHINA ELECTRIC POWER RES INST CO LTD) 21 March 2023 and CN 113 904 375 A (CHINA ELECTRIC POWER RES INST CO LTD) 07 January 2022.SUMMARY

[0006] The present invention proposes a method and apparatus for determining voltage support strength of a renewable energy power system in real time, a computer-readable storage medium and a computer program product.

[0007] According to the method, apparatus and device for determining the voltage support strength of the renewable energy power system in real time, the storage medium and the computer program product, a bus real-time operating voltage and a collection line current of a monitoring point of the renewable energy power system are collected; a system's Thevenin equivalent potential of the monitoring point is calculated according to the bus real-time operating voltage and the collection line current; a short circuit ratio of the monitoring point and a critical short circuit ratio of the monitoring point are calculated according to a nominal voltage of the monitoring point, the system's Thevenin equivalent potential and the bus real-time operating voltage; a safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point is calculated according to the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point and the critical short circuit ratio of the monitoring point; and a strength division result of the voltage support strength of the renewable energy power system is determined according to the safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point and a set voltage support strength division criterion. According to the method, voltage support strength of the system is evaluated through the electrical quantities collected by a power system measuring apparatus in real time, and the related electrical quantities only include a bus operation voltage of the monitoring point, the collection line current, a rated voltage of the renewable energy plant and a rated voltage of the renewable energy unit, thus greatly reducing the number of electrical parameters involved in the calculation of the short circuit ratio, improving algorithm efficiency and realizing real-time monitoring of the voltage support strength of the system.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein, which are provided to disclose the present invention in detail and completely, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. Terms referred to in the exemplary embodiments in the drawings are not limiting to the present invention. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used for the same units / elements.

[0010] Unless otherwise stated, terms (including technical terms) used herein have a common understanding meaning to those skilled in the art to which they pertain. In addition, it is understandable that terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should be understood to have meanings consistent with the context of their related fields, and should not be understood as having idealistic meanings or overly formal meanings.

[0011] FIG. 1 illustrates a flowchart of a method for determining voltage support strength of a renewable energy power system in real time according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the method for determining the voltage support strength of the renewable energy power system in real time according to the present preferred embodiment starts from an operation 101.

[0012] In the operation 101, a bus real-time operating voltage and a collection line current of a monitoring point of the renewable energy power system are collected. The renewable energy power system includes at least one renewable energy plant, and each renewable energy plant includes at least one renewable energy unit. The monitoring point is a bus of a renewable energy plant or a terminal bus of a renewable energy unit.

[0013] There may be one or more monitoring points of the renewable energy power system in the present invention. When there are multiple monitoring points, the multiple monitoring points can be numbered, and the calculation is performed on the multiple numbered monitoring points in sequence according to the technical solutions for obtaining the short circuit ratio, the critical short circuit ratio and the safety margin of the short circuit ratio according to the preferred embodiment. When a safety margin of a short circuit ratio of any one of the multiple monitoring points meets the set voltage support strength division criterion, the strength division result of the voltage support strength of the renewable energy power system can be determined.

[0014] In an operation 102, a system's Thevenin equivalent potential of the monitoring point is calculated according to the bus real-time operating voltage and the collection line current.

[0015] Preferably, a system's Thevenin equivalent potential of the monitoring point is calculated according to the bus real-time operating voltage and the collection line current, and a calculation formula of the system's Thevenin equivalent potential is shown as the formula (1): E ˙ t = U ˙ t I ˙ t − 1 − U ˙ t − 1 I ˙ t I ˙ t − 1 − I ˙ t

[0016] In the formula, U̇ t is a bus operating voltage of the monitoring point at a moment t, U̇ t-1 is a bus operating voltage of the monitoring point at a moment t-1, İ t is a collection line current of the monitoring point at the moment t, İ t-1 is a collection line current of the monitoring point at the moment t-1, and Et is a system's Thevenin equivalent potential of the monitoring point at the moment t.

[0017] In the preferred embodiment, for the bus operating voltage U̇ t-1 of the monitoring point collected at the moment t-1 and the collection line current İ t-1 of the monitoring point collected at the moment t-1, a result of the formula (2) can be obtained according to a calculation formula of a system bus voltage: U ˙ t − 1 = E ˙ t − 1 + Z t − 1 I ˙ t − 1

[0018] In the formula, Ė t-1 is a system's Thevenin equivalent potential of the monitoring point at the moment t-1, and Z t-1 is a system's Thevenin equivalent impedance of the monitoring point at the moment t-1.

[0019] Similarly, for the bus operating voltage U̇ t of the monitoring point collected at the moment t and the collection line current İ t of the monitoring point collected at the moment t, a result of the formula (3) can be obtained according to the calculation formula of the system bus voltage: U ˙ t = E ˙ t + Z t I ˙ t

[0020] In the formula, Et is a system's Thevenin equivalent potential of the monitoring point at the moment t, and Z t is a system's Thevenin equivalent impedance of the monitoring point at the moment t.

[0021] When renewable energy output of the renewable energy power system fluctuates, the system's Thevenin equivalent potential and the system's Thevenin equivalent impedance can be approximately regarded as unchanged, and the formula (4) and the formula (5) can be obtained: E ˙ t = E ˙ t − 1 Z t = Z t − 1

[0022] Therefore, according to the simultaneous solution of the above four formulas, the calculation formula (6) for solving the system's Thevenin equivalent potential of the monitoring point at the moment t described in the embodiment can be obtained: E ˙ t = U ˙ t I ˙ t − 1 − U ˙ t − 1 I ˙ t I ˙ t − 1 − I ˙ t

[0023] In an operation 103, a short circuit ratio of the monitoring point and a critical short circuit ratio of the monitoring point are calculated according to a nominal voltage of the monitoring point, the system's Thevenin equivalent potential and the bus real-time operating voltage.

[0024] Preferably, a short circuit ratio of the monitoring point and a critical short circuit ratio of the monitoring point are calculated according to a nominal voltage of the monitoring point, the system's Thevenin equivalent potential and the bus real-time operating voltage, and a calculation formula of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point and a calculation formula of the critical short circuit ratio of the monitoring point are shown as the formula (7) and the formula (8), respectively: SCR − U t = U N ⋅ E t U t ⋅ U ˙ t − E ˙ t CSCR − U t = U N E t U t 2

[0025] In the formulas SCR-Ut is a short circuit ratio of the monitoring point at a moment t, and CSCR-Ut is a critical short circuit ratio of the monitoring point at the moment t. Etis a system's Thevenin equivalent potential of the monitoring point at the moment t. Et is a modulus value of the system's Thevenin equivalent potential of the monitoring point at the moment t. U̇ t is a bus operating voltage of the monitoring point at the moment t. Ut is a modulus value of the bus operating voltage of the monitoring point at the moment t. U N is the nominal voltage of the monitoring point. When the monitoring point is a bus of a renewable energy plant, a value of U N is a rated voltage of a voltage class corresponding to the renewable energy plant, and when the monitoring point is a terminal bus of a renewable energy unit in a renewable energy plant, the value of U N is a rated voltage of the renewable energy unit.

[0026] The real-time calculation method of the critical short circuit ratio provided by the embodiment of the present invention provides a stable criterion for judging the safety margin of the voltage support strength of the system.

[0027] In the preferred embodiment, the monitoring point can not only be a bus of a renewable energy plant, but also a terminal bus of a renewable energy unit in a renewable energy plant. Therefore, a nominal voltage of the monitoring point is assigned with different values according to the above two different situations. When the monitoring point is a bus of renewable energy plant, a value of the nominal voltage is a rated voltage of a voltage class corresponding to the renewable energy plant, such as 35kV, 110kV, 220kV, 330kV, etc. When the monitoring point is a terminal bus of a renewable energy unit, a value of the nominal voltage is a rated device voltage, such as 0.4 kV, 0.69 kV, etc.

[0028] In an operation 104, a safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point is calculated according to the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point and the critical short circuit ratio of the monitoring point.

[0029] Preferably, a safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point is calculated according to the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point and the critical short circuit ratio of the monitoring point, and a calculation formula of the safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point is shown as the formula (9): Mg t = SCR − U t − CSCR − U t SCR − U t × 100

[0030] In the formula, Mgt is the safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point, which is expressed as a percentage and is dimensionless. SCR-Ut is a short circuit ratio of the monitoring point at a moment t. CSCR-Ut is a critical short circuit ratio of the monitoring point at the moment t.

[0031] In an operation 105, a strength division result of the voltage support strength of the renewable energy power system is determined according to the safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point and a set voltage support strength division criterion.

[0032] Preferably, a strength division result of the voltage support strength of the renewable energy power system is determined according to the safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point and a set voltage support strength division criterion, and the voltage support strength division criterion includes followings.

[0033] In response to Mgt < K 1 , it is determined that the renewable energy power system is a system with weak voltage support strength, where K 1 is a safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point determined through calculation when an operating voltage becomes lower than a voltage threshold K 4 via low voltage ride through for an operating condition where reactive power compensation of the renewable energy power system is K 3 , 0 < K 1 , K 3 , K 4 < 1.

[0034] In response to K 1 ≤Mg t <K 2 , it is determined that the renewable energy power system is a system with medium voltage support strength, where K 2 is a safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the monitoring point determined through calculation when renewable energy active power output reaches K 5 of transmission capacity of the renewable energy power system for an operating condition where reactive power compensation of the renewable energy power system is K 3 , 0 < K 2 , K 5 < 1.

[0035] In response to Mg t ≥K 2 , it is determined that the renewable energy power system is a system with strong voltage support strength.

[0036] The voltage support strength division criterion provided by the embodiment of the present invention provides technical support for strength division of the voltage support strength.

[0037] In the preferred embodiment, when K 3 =15% and K 4 =0. 9p. u, K 1 =22% can be obtained according to the calculation formula for calculating the short circuit ratio, the critical short circuit ratio and the safety margin of the short circuit ratio. In the same way, when K 3 =15% and K 5 =80%, K 2 =32% can be obtained according to the calculation formulas for calculating the short circuit ratio, the critical short circuit ratio and safety margin of the short circuit ratio. Therefore, the criterion for judging strength of the voltage support strength of the renewable energy power system based on the safety margins of the short circuit ratio K 1 =22% and K 2 =32% are as follows.

[0038] In response to Mgt < 22%, it is determined that the renewable energy power system is a system with weak voltage support strength.

[0039] In response to 22% ≤ Mgt < 32%, it is determined that the renewable energy power system is a system with medium voltage support strength.

[0040] In response to Mg t ≥ 32%, it is determined that the renewable energy power system is a system with strong voltage support strength.

[0041] According to the method for determining the voltage support strength of the renewable energy power system according to the preferred embodiment, the short circuit ratio and the critical short circuit ratio can be obtained based on the bus real-time operating voltage and the collection line current of the monitoring point of the renewable energy power system collected in real time, and the technical solution of determining the voltage support strength of the system by determining the safety margin of the short circuit ratio of the system according to the obtained short circuit ratio and the critical short circuit ratio is provided. The method involves few electrical parameters in real time calculation of the voltage support strength of the renewable energy power system, has fast speed of calculation, and has high real-time performance and practicability.
