      Abstract:In order to solve the problem of refusal or misoperation in the staged current protection of the existing centralized photovoltaic power station, a simulation model for the boosted grid connection of the centralized photovoltaic power station is established, which combines the control target of the inverter and the output characteristics of the photovoltaic itself. The analytical expression of the steady-state short-circuit current provided by the photovoltaic side is derived. On the basis of expressions, the adaptability of traditional fault analysis and protection schemes is analyzed one by one when fault occurs on the overhead line, the collection cable, and the current collection line respectively. In view of the shortcomings of the original backup protection when the overhead line fails, the distance protection at the downstream collecting station side is proposed to replace the original staged current protection. For the existing protection scheme, it is difficult to distinguish the collecting line fault from the collecting cable fault. Then, inverse time protection scheme is proposed. PSCAD simulation results show that the proposed protection scheme can reliably operate on common fault types.

      Abstract:Since quintessential probabilistic photovoltaic (PV) models like Weibull and Beta distribution are not able to reflect accurately the changes of PV station's output characteristics in different scenarios, a data-driven scenario generation model for distribution system is proposed. The model which is based on the algorithm of local density clustering (LDC), takes into account the correlation of multiple PV stations and the influence of external conditions, thus realizing the accurate modeling of multiple PV stations' output power. Firstly, LDC is used to classify historical data into several clusters. Secondly, kernel density function and copula function are utilized to build joint probabilistic density functions (PDF) in each cluster, and the data of joint PDF are processed by applying Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS). Then, the samples are used for probabilistic power flow calculation to set up the model which estimates operational condition of distribution network. Finally, the stability of model is analyzed, and influence of sampling size on model is also discussed. It is shown that the proposed method in the paper improves the accuracy of modelling for PV station's output in distribution network, and it also reduces the error of probabilistic power flow calculation.

      Abstract (1250) PDF 5.68 M (1576) HTML (1743) XML Favorites

      Abstract:The high proportion of grid-connected photovoltaics (PVs) leads to a dramatical increase of supraharmonic emissions at distribution network. The influence of supraharmonic interaction between grid-connected PVs and distribution network is much more remarkable than that in single PV grid-connected system. So the high proportion of grid-connected PVs reduces the stability of the grid. In order to reveal the characteristics of supraharmonic emission at high proportion of PVs grid-connected, the effect of PVs connecting to grid on supraharmonic emission is discussed. Firstly, the propagation of supraharmonic current at high proportion of grid-connected PV is described. Considering background harmonic emission of grid and control circuits of PVs, a mathematic model is built to calculate the value of supraharmonic currents and summarize the law of supraharmonic propagation at high proportion of grid-connected PVs. On the basis of the model built by PSCAD simulation platform, the supraharmonic emission from individual PVs is obtained. The model is also used to show the influence of backgrounds and PVs on supraharmonic emission. The last but not the least, the model is verified, based on measured date of concentrated PV access in Quanzhou city, Fujian Province.

      Abstract (937) PDF 6.00 M (1561) HTML (1256) XML Favorites

      Abstract:As wind power industry develops rapidly, the control strategy for active power of wind farms tends to be regional. In order to regulate reasonably the active power of wind powercluster and increase the amount of wind power accommodation for reducing the number of wind turbines, a stratified active power control strategy for wind power cluster considering ordered wind turbines is proposed. Firstly, according to the location of wind farms and ultrashort term prediction of wind power, the wind power of regions are divided into three control layers, namely wind farm group layer, wind farm layer and wind turbine layer. The wind farm group layer and wind farm layer are optimized to increase the accommodation of wind power by rolling optimization at different time scales. The wind turbine level calculates and ranks the control capacity scores of each turbine by selecting the evaluation indexes that affect the control ability of the wind turbines, combining the entropy method and the membership function. In this way, the number of control times of the wind turbines is reduced. Finally, the data of actual wind farms in Shanxi power grid are used to analyze by GAMS and Matlab platform. The results show that the proposed control strategy reduces the number of wind turbine control times while improving the wind power accommodation.

In China, the control and protection system of ultra-high voltage direct current is provided with the logic of starting active DC blocking to avoid negative influence of continuous commutation failure.

      Abstract:There are risks of frequency and voltage security and stability due to the on-going replacement of conventional synchronous power plants by intermittent generation and DC transmission. Prompt and effective emergency regulation after faults can prevent blackouts. An online pre-decision method for emergency regulation of frequency and voltage security and stability considering running condition of equipment is proposed. Considering the influence of system protection, unit primary frequency regulation, automatic generation control and automatic voltage control on node injection after failure, the quasi-steady state mode after failure is automatically identified, and the frequency and voltage pre-decision-making model with the goal of minimizing comprehensive control cost is constructed.

The iterative search of the pre-decision strategy taking into account the frequency and voltage safety issues is realized, and the specific equipment and control quantities are given. After the actual fault occurs, emergency control is carried out by matching the fault and the post-fault problem to reduce the risk of grid accidents. The effectiveness of the method is verified by an actual grid calculation example.

      Abstract:It has been reported that frequency domain spectroscopy (FDS) is sensitive to moisture content for oil-paper insulation. In order to reflect the characteristics of frequency domain dielectric spectrum about damp-affected defect in transformer oil paper insulation bushings, comparative study for the influence of voltage value and frequency value on dielectric loss from 0.001 Hz to 1 kHz is carried out. The results show that the value of tan δ increases slightly with time at the same value of test voltage in the first stage of the process of rising damp. At the same time, an increase of the value of tan δ is seen with the increasing test voltage. In the second stage of the process of rising damp, the value of tan δ increases remarkably with time, and reaches its peak at the time point of 120 h. At the third stage of the process of rising damp, the value of tan δ decreases with time. The value of tan δ in the whole process does not exceed the values of standard, and the value of standard is suggested to be reduced. In the low frequency band from 0.001 to 0.01 Hz, it is easy to distinguish the damp-affected bushings from the non-damp-affected bushings by frequency domain dielectric spectrum, especially at the frequency of 1 mHz. Therefore, it is recommended that FDS low-frequency test is used for insulation diagnosis.

    • Corrosion and insulation failure process of composite insulators in special industrial dust area

      Abstract (655) PDF 5.69 M (1241) HTML (990) XML Favorites

      Abstract:Because of the excellent hydrophobicity and hydrophobicity migration, silicone rubber composite insulators have an out-standing anti-pollution flashover performance, so they are often selected as the first choice to deal with pollution flashover accidents. However, in some special industrial dust areas, creepage and electric erosion occurs on the surface of composite insulators after short-term operation, which eventually develops into insulation failure. In order to study the corrosion failure process of composite insulators operated in special industrial dust areas, the samples of composite insulators from a special industrial park are taken, and the pollution degree and pollution composition, pollution flashover voltage gradient, hydrophobicity, and microscopic properties of samples are tested. Furthermore, the failure process of the insulators is analyzed. The results show that the equivalent salt deposit density (ESDD) of insulators is about 0.1~0.2 mg/cm2, and the pollution composition is similar to that in chemical industry pollution area. With natural pollution on the surface, the hydrophobicity of the insulators is great, but the hydrophobicity loss, recovery, and migration properties cannot meet the operation requirements. The cause of insulation failure is the decrease of hydrophobicity caused by corona discharge. The decrease of hydrophobicity leads to electric erosion of the umbrella skirts, and finally develops into insulation failure.

      Abstract:Power transformer is one of the most important equipments in power transmission, and it is of great significance to detect the aging state of transformers. In order to effectively evaluate the aging condition of oil paper insulation in transformers, the dielectric properties of oil-paper insulation under different aging degrees are studied by frequency domain spectroscopy (FDS). Besides, the relationship between the characteristic parameters and aging time is established by Havriliak-Negami (H-N) model. Then, this method is applied to the field transformer test. The results show that with the deepening of aging degree, the FDS curve increases significantly in the middle frequency band, but does not change significantly in the high and low frequency bands. The overall curve is in the shape of 'jujube nucleus'. According to the H-N model, the characteristic parameters have a good correspondence with the aging degree. This method that evaluates the aging condition of transformers is verified by the application of the field transformer.

      Abstract:Efficient and reliable fault classification is beneficial to guide the dispatchers in finding and removing the fault quickly, thus restoring system power supply promptly, so the classification is of great significance for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the system. A fault classification method based on deep belief network is proposed to overcome deficiencies of traditional fault classification, such as shallow intelligent methods' dependence on signal processing technology and artificial experience, and the lack of feature extraction and expression for complex power system. The raw data of each phase current- voltage and zero sequence current-voltage are taken as the network input, and the features of fault state are automatically learned and extracted from the original time-domain signals to realize the fault type identification. The simulation results of the IEEE 39-bus system and real fault cases of power grid show that the proposed fault type identification method has good capability of fault feature extraction. Besides, the proposed method keeps the original characteristics of data in the process of dimensionality reduction, and it is not affected by factors including transition resistance, fault time, fault location and load size. Therefore, it identifies fault types more accurately than other traditional artificial neural networks do.

      Abstract:The voltage source converter based high voltage direct current transmission (VSC-HVDC) project has entered the era of ultra-high voltage (UHV). Electric field equalizing design of the existing VSC valve cannot meet the requirement of UHV. In order to reduce the electric field density of the top tubular busbar of ±800 kV VSC valve, the modeling technologies of PTC Creo and ANSYS are applied for the three-dimention complex valve tower modeling to analyze electrostatic field finite elements. By adding a top shield plate equalizing connected with the top tubular busbar, the peak electric field densities of the top sub modules and tubular busbar are reduced obviously. The parasitic capacitance parameters of the valve tower are extracted. The influence of the top shield plate on the voltage distribution of sub-modules under the switching impulse is analyzed. The influence of distance among electric field equalizing parts on the distribution of peakelectric field is studied. The optimal electric field equalizing design of ±800 kV VSC valve is obtained, and the experiment of impulse voltageon valve tower prototype is tested. The proposed optimization measurement improves the stable operation of VSC valve in UHV application, and provides a design reference for the application of VSC valve in subsequent UHV VSC-HVDC projects.

    • A tracking control method for doubly-fed induction generator to enhance the low voltage ride through capability

      2021, 40(2):185-191. DOI: 10.12158/j.2096-3203.2021.02.026

      Abstract (885) PDF 5.12 M (1149) HTML (1155) XML Favorites

      Abstract:In order to improve the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), a tracking control method for grid side converter (GSC) based on state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) technique is proposed. The grid code requires that wind farms should inject reactive power to support voltage recovery during LVRT process. In order to improve the supporting capacity of the nonlinear state-regulator on reactive power, nonlinear reactive power tracking controller is designed in GSC of DFIG, and the state feedback control law is obtained through solving state dependent Riccati equation. On the basis of maintaining the stability of DC link voltage in LVRT process, the reactive power regulation capability of GSC is fully utilized to provide reactive power support for the power grid to avoid voltage deterioration. Finally, a 9 MW DFIG-based wind farm is built by Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results show that the proposed GSC control method has good transient performance and effectively improves the LVRT capability of DFIG through simulation verification under three phase ground faults.

      2021, 40(2):192-196, 204. DOI: 10.12158/j.2096-3203.2021.02.027

      Abstract:During the operation of the power system, when a large load is suddenly lost and exceeds generator adjust capability, the frequency increases, meanwhile the frequency and power oscillate or even cause power system collapsing. In the isolation grid power system with only a few generators, the regulation capacity of the generators is limited, and the conventional load need serve as production tasks and cannot participate in frequency control. The isolation grid system lacks effective frequency control method. An electronic load device based on thyristor control is proposed, and the working principal of the device and the mechanism that can be applied to the suppression of the isolation grid frequency oscillation are analyzed. The working control strategy of the electronic load is introduced and the effects of different parameters are studied by the real time digital simulation system (RTDS). The results show that the electronic load device can participate in primary frequency control by means of the load dynamic control, which provides a new control idea for the suppression of frequency oscillation in the isolated network.

      2021, 40(2):205-211,219. DOI: 10.12158/j.2096-3203.2021.02.029

      Abstract (1158) PDF 5.11 M (1286) HTML (1640) XML Favorites

      Abstract:With the increase of renewable energy and DC external power supply capacity, it is more and more important to ensure the frequency safety of the power system. A simplified frequency simulation model is proposed, which includes the synchronous generator, governor and load model, and takes the voltage variation affecting the load response into account. The model is used to simulate the frequency response of the power system under the actual and expected faults. It shows that the simulation accuracy meets the requirements while compared with the calculation results of the BPA detailed model. The simplified model is used to evaluate the current and future frequency security situation of East China Grid. It is pointed out that the frequency security of East China Grid is facing severe challenges in 2025. The primary frequency response services of the conventional synchronous generator need to be improved and the proportion of DC external power supply injecting power needs to be limited to ensure the frequency safety of the power system. It is also suggested that the renewable energy should provide virtual synchronous generator control and primary frequency control to realize the friendly connection of new energy generating units to the grid and meet the needs of the grid development in the future.

      2021, 40(2):212-219. DOI: 10.12158/j.2096-3203.2021.02.030

      Abstract (931) PDF 5.64 M (1251) HTML (1323) XML Favorites

      Abstract:The existing power grid security risk assessment methods do not fully consider the impact of different primary equipment, load importance and secondary system performance. Grid static security risk assessment method considering the influence of secondary system based on the improved severity model is proposed. Firstly, the effects of hidden faults of relay protection, automatic reclosing success rate and automatic load-cutting devices on risk assessment are analyzed, and corresponding risk assessment model is established. Then, by quantifying the importance of lines, buses and loads, a risk index quantification method of the improved severity model is proposed which introduces the importance degree factor into severity model. The proposed method is applied to the improved IEEE-RTS79 testing system. It is verified that the proposed model and method can effectively identify the weak links in the power system, and are more in line with the system reality than traditional risk assessment methods. The proposed method can provide a reference for power system operation, maintenance, and risk management.
