Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods lack the capability to provide precise measured data for dynamic model parameters of wind power plants, leading to instability in power grids due to fluctuating wind power output, which complicates grid stability analysis and dispatching.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If wind power plants operate with fluctuating wind resources, then wind power output varies significantly, but this leads to charging power fluctuation and grid stability problems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewind power outputVSAvoidgrid stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting pre-testing of wind power plants under controlled conditions before actual grid operation. The testing method includes pre-establishing test conditions (stable running, stable wind speed between cut-in and rated speed, output less than rated output), pre-recording baseline data, and pre-simulating various disturbance scenarios. This allows the system to prepare and optimize its response characteristics before facing actual grid stability challenges, thereby improving grid stability without sacrificing wind power output potential.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If no testing method is available for dynamic model parameters, then grid stability analysis lacks precise data, but developing a comprehensive testing method requires complex test procedures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic model parameters dataVSAvoidtesting method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the comprehensive testing method into distinct, manageable steps. Each step focuses on a specific aspect: Step 1 records baseline data under stable conditions, Step 2 tests response to generator removal, Step 3 performs power signal step tests, Step 4 tests reactive-load compensation, Step 5 switches to alternative power sources, and Step 6 simulates faults. This segmentation allows complex testing to be performed systematically without overwhelming complexity, providing precise measurement data through structured procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying test conditions to extract dynamic model parameters. The method changes parameters such as power output levels (less than rated output), wind speed ranges (between cut-in and rated speed), and operational states (stable running, disturbance conditions). By changing these parameters across different test scenarios, the method obtains comprehensive data for accurate dynamic modeling without requiring an overly complex single-test procedure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If wind power plants are tested under various disturbance conditions, then precise measured data is obtained, but the testing process requires multiple steps and controlled conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasured data for dynamic model parametersVSAvoidtesting procedure simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing stable baseline conditions before testing begins. The method requires stable running of wind turbine generators and reactive-load compensation equipment, stable wind speed between cut-in and rated speed, and wind power plant output less than rated output. This preliminary stabilization ensures that any measurements taken during subsequent disturbance testing are accurate and attributable to the disturbances rather than pre-existing instability, thereby improving measurement precision while providing a clear, repeatable testing procedure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
