    As 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topology and line parameters are unknown,the traditional voltage control strategy based on power flow calculation is no longer applicable, a data-driven voltage coordination control strategy was proposed for low-voltage distribution networks with high household photovoltaics penetration.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.

    Modular multilevel matrix converter (M3C) is a multilevel topology that can directly realize AC-AC conversion,which has good application prospects in high-voltage transmission systems and DC distribution systems,but the existence of bridge-arm circulating channels inside the M3C leads to a very complex control structure. For this reason,a hierarchical system control strategy was proposed. First,the mathematical model of the M3C was derived based on the conventional double αβ0 coordinate transformation. Then,a dual-loop control structure consisting of an outer-loop and an inner-loop controller was employed in the M3C,which is usually employed in voltage source converters. In addition,in order to suppress the loop current component inside the system,a bridge arm energy equalization control strategy based on double αβ0 transform decoupling was proposed,through which the capacitive voltage control between the bridge arm and the bridge arm was realized by this control and carrier phase shift modulation. Ultimately,the simulation model and physical prototype were constructed,and the outcomes validated the viability of the proposed control strategy for the M3C system.

    With the increasing penetration of new energy equipment,while alleviating the environmental problems caused by fossil energy,it also increases the frequency instability of the system. Photovoltaic (PV)and other new energy equipment to participate in the grid frequency regulation is an effective way to improve the frequency stability of the power system.First,the basic principle of frequency response of synchronous machine was analyzed,the correspondence was determined which is between active output of PV power generation and primary frequency regulation and inertia response,and the virtual synchronous control strategy of PV power generation was formed.Then,based on the power-frequency correspondence relationship of primary frequency regulation,it gave the parameter adjustment method that directly corresponds to the frequency and the load shedding rate,and realized the function of primary frequency regulation. Once again,based on the inertia response minus the frequency-power correspondence relationship,it gave the inertia response minus the frequency-power correspondence relationship,which is the most effective way to improve frequency stability of power system. Once again,based on the correspondence between inertia response frequency reduction and power,the parameter setting method of inertia response load shedding rate was given,and the negative influence of inertia in the process of frequency restoration was avoided through the determination of application conditions of inertia response. Finally,the PV grid-connected model was constructed,which verified that the PV load shedding operation has the ability to participate in the frequency regulation of the power grid.

    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.
