Hierarchical Cooperative Stability Control Strategy for Heterogeneous Renewable Energy Power Stations with Grid-following and Grid-forming Converters
With the continuous growth of renewable energy penetration
power electronic converters are playing an increasingly vital role in modern power systems. However
the integration of large-scale power electronic devices has changed the inherent characteristics of power grids
which is specifically reflected in reduced system short-circuit ratio
weakened system inertia
and nonlinear disturbances induced by frequent switching operations and power fluctuations of renewable energy stations. Against this background
both traditional grid-following and grid-forming converters fail to fully satisfy the operation demands of new power systems. Therefore
this paper reconstructs the bottom-layer control of traditional grid-following/grid-forming converters by introducing passivity theory from the perspective of energy flow. Meanwhile
for multi-unit systems in renewable energy stations
a unified stability design framework for hierarchical cooperative control of heterogeneous multi-unit stations is designed. This framework can not only improve the stable operation capacity of converters under complex operating conditions
but also boost the system voltage support capacity and realize the fast power regulation via a hierarchical multi-unit cooperative mechanism. Furthermore
it further enhances the nonlinear disturbance rejection capacity of the system.
