Latest ArticlesAs the penetration rate of household distributed PV in China's low-voltage distribution network continues to increase,the power flow of the distribution network has changed,leading to more serious problems such as node voltage overruns and three-phase imbalance,which poses a serious threat to the safe and stable operation of the distribution network. For situations where the distribution network topology and line parameters are unknown,the traditional voltage control strategy based on power flow calculation is no longer applicable, a data-driven voltage coordination control strategy was proposed for low-voltage distribution networks with high household photovoltaics penetration. First,a linear approximation model of the low-voltage distribution network was established,and the least squares method was applied to fit the relationship between node power and voltage based on the historical operation data of the low-voltage distribution network. Then,the photovoltaic inverter and energy storage system were used as regulation measures to minimize the degree of node voltage over-limit,minimize the three-phase unbalance and minimize the amount of equipment regulation as the objective function. The improved multi-objective particle swarm algorithm was utilized to achieve voltage optimization control. Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed voltage coordination control strategy was verified by simulation comparison and analysis with other control strategies and methods,taking the 21-node low-voltage station as an example.
Voltage source converter (VSC) is prone to low-frequency oscillations of 100~101 Hz when connected to weak AC power grids. The mechanism of improving the control strategy of VSC on the traditional inverter side to suppress low-frequency oscillations(LFO) in the AC power grid is to transfer the oscillations from the AC side to the DC side,which poses a risk of inducing instability in the DC system. An adaptive voltage power damping control strategy was designed that can suppress low-frequency oscillations in AC systems based on the adjustable output power of the interface converter of energy storage devices containing new energy storage stations. This strategy was based on a damping control loop embedded in the rectifier side VSC control system,which suppresses DC voltage oscillation by controlling the output power of the rectifier energy storage system,effectively solving the shortcomings of traditional inverter side VSC control strategies in transferring oscillations. Based on the analysis of small signal stability,the parameter design process of the virtual damping control link was provided. The simulation results in Matlab/Simulink environment verified the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy and the correctness of the parameter design process.
The islanding detection method is a necessary method for grid-connected PV systems,but,the current islanding detection method is prone to misjudgement when encountering grid operation states such as high-resistance short-circuit ground faults and large-capacity load casting. For this reason,an islanding detection method based on reactive power perturbation and featured kurtosis was proposed based on analyzing the difference between the power at the grid point in the islanding operation state and other grid operation states. The method firstly used the three-phase voltage amplitude offset rate at the grid point to realize the starting criterion of active reactive power injection in PV system. Then,the apparent power waveform at the grid point was obtained,and after the normalization operation was performed to obtain the normalized apparent power (NAP) waveform,variational modal decomposition algorithm was used to decompose NAP at 8 layers,and the time-frequency component at layer 5 was obtained as the feature detection component. And then the feature detection component was characterized by a featured kurtosis to achieve islanding detection. Finally,a typical PV grid-connected system was constructed using Matlab simulation platform,and the effectiveness of the proposed method was tested through the working conditions of islanding operation with different quality factor loads,different high-resistance short-circuit ground faults,large-capacity load switching,and lightning strike faults,and so on.
To address the complexities of transformer condition assessment indicators and the overreliance on expert judgment in the evaluation process,a novel method for fuzzy comprehensive assessment of transformer condition was introduced,which is based on gaming theory and an improved version of the D-S evidence theory. First,the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the Critic method was adopted to determine both the subjective and objective weights of the evaluation indicators. These weights are then combined using game theory,reducing the dependence on expert opinions in traditional weight determination methods. Second,instead of traditional membership functions,cloud models was employed to preserve the inherent uncertainty in fuzzy assessments. Finally,membership information at the project level was fused by using improved D-S evidence,eliminating paradoxical results that can occur when combining high-conflict evidence. Through the results of case studies,the method effectively assesses the transition probabilities of various transformer states.

As the penetration rate of new energy in the power system continues to increase,the large-scale grid connection of wind power is one of the important factors affecting the stable frequency operation of the power system. Configuring energy storage can provide transient frequency support for the system,improve wind power fluctuations,and enhance the stability of wind power generation. Firstly,by considering the primary frequency regulation requirements of wind farms and starting from the operating status of batteries,a state of charge (SOC)control strategy taking into account charge coefficient and discharge states was proposed,and a battery service life model was established. On this basis,with the overall goal of minimum sum of annual comprehensive costs of wind storage systems,a power and capacity optimization configuration model for energy storage systems was constructed that taken into account the state of charge and battery life. Secondly,the ant lion algorithm was used to solve the optimization results,and the effect of complex cost,battery life,and charge status on the optimization result was analyzed. Finally,the effectiveness of the results through simulation was validated.
The stability analysis of power system transient voltage,power angle,and frequency is often based on short-time-scale electromechanical transient simulation,which requires a relatively accurate large-scale simulation model,which not only has low simulation efficiency but also takes a long time,thus giving rise to the demand for dynamic equivalence of large power grids. However,as the proportion of new energy increases,the power system gradually presents some unique characteristics of new power systems,with more significant differences in system inertia,frequency spatiotemporal distribution,and frequency modulation resource distribution. Conventional dynamic equivalence methods based on slow coherence theory are gradually difficult to ensure accuracy. To solve these problems,based on previous work,a large power grid dynamic equivalence method based on random forest algorithm was proposed. First,the large power system was divided into the study area and the external area. Then the external area on the opposite side of the study area tie line was equivalent to several nonlinear dynamic loads controlled by the random forest algorithm. The random forest algorithm was trained using the original model tie line's voltage/reactive power and frequency/active power relationships. A joint simulation model based on PSS/E and Matlab platform was established to achieve equivalent simplified electromechanical transient simulation,and Python environment was used to achieve information exchange and simulation control between them. Simplified results for the Northeastern United States power grid was presented and compared them with existing methods. The results show that the proposed method can effectively balance simulation accuracy and control stability.
