0 Preface

Wind power generation is the most mature, most large-scale development and commercialization development method for new energy development technologies in the world today, but the random changes in wind have led to the wind power generator output usually changing rapidly with the wind speed. Connecting to the grid will have an impact on the power quality and stability of the grid3.

This article introduces an AGP measurement and protection module designed for wind power generation systems. This module can measure traditional electrical parameters such as voltage, current, frequency, and electrical energy. In the event of grid failure, grid frequency, voltage deviation, generator output power is too large, active power When a fault such as reverse flow occurs with the reactive power flow, an alarm signal is issued, and two under-voltage protections according to time are integrated to improve the anti-interference ability of the control system against voltage flicker.

3 Technical regulations and applications of wind power generation systems

With the continuous expansion of the installed capacity of wind power generation, the State Grid Corporation has put forward a series of requirements for wind turbines, "GB / T 19069-2003 Technical Requirements for Wind Turbine Generator Controllers" and "Implementation Rules for Technical Regulations for Wind Farm Access to the Grid -2009 "clarified the functions that the controller needs to have. Mainly include: grid frequency control, reactive power and grid voltage control, low voltage ride-through (LVRT) control and power quality control.

3.1 Operating frequency of wind farms

Table 2 Wind farm operation at various frequencies

Grid frequency range

Claim

Below 48Hz

It depends on the lowest frequency that the wind turbine in the wind farm is allowed to run.

48Hz-49.5Hz

Every time the frequency is lower than 49.5Hz, it is required to be able to run for at least 10min.

49.5Hz-50.5Hz

continue to operate.

50.5Hz-51Hz

Each time the frequency is higher than 50.5Hz, it is required to be able to run for at least 2min; and when the frequency is higher than 50.5Hz, the wind turbine in the stopped state is not allowed to be connected to the grid.

Higher than 51Hz

Operate according to the power limit of the power grid dispatch department.

3.2 Wind farm voltage range

Wind power is required when the voltage deviation of the grid connection point of the wind farm is between -10% and + 10%, and the flicker value of the grid connection point meets the national standard power quality regulations on voltage fluctuation and flicker, harmonics of the public power grid, and three-phase voltage imbalance. The wind turbine in the field should be able to operate normally.

3.3 Wind farm low voltage ride through

When the voltage of the grid connection point of the wind farm is in the area of ​​the voltage contour line and above in the figure, the wind turbine in the field must ensure uninterrupted grid operation; when the voltage of the grid connection point is below the voltage contour line in the figure, the wind turbine in the field is allowed to cut off from the grid Out 2.

Figure 9 Regulations for wind farm low voltage ride through requirements

For different European and American national grid companies, there are also differences in the low voltage drop amplitude and ride-through time. The UK is 15% and 140ms, Germany is 15% and 625ms, Denmark is 25% and 100ms, and Spain is 0% and 500ms etc.

3.4 The current grid-connected system of doubly-fed wind turbines

Figure 10 AC excitation variable speed constant frequency wind power inverter circuit diagram

Variable-speed constant-frequency power generation introduces advanced power electronics technology into generator control. The unit uses variable-speed operation to make the speed of the impeller of the wind turbine change with the change of wind speed, and maintain a substantially constant optimal tip speed ratio to obtain the maximum Wind energy utilization efficiency.

During the operation of the variable-speed constant-frequency double-fed generator set, the stator winding is directly connected to the power grid, and the rotor winding is connected to the slip frequency power supply to achieve AC excitation. When the generator rotor frequency changes, the excitation current frequency is controlled to ensure that the stator output frequency is constant4.

3.5 Application Case

AGP can be applied to various types of generator windings. Figure 10 below is a typical application case of the winding structure of a three-phase four-wire generator. The voltage signal is directly connected, and the current signal is connected to the module after being transformed by the transformer. Set relay 1 to overload, overvoltage and overfrequency, relay 2 to undervoltage and underfrequency, relay 3 to reverse power, relay 4 to undervoltage protection A and B according to time, supply the module with DC24V, and the device starts self-check When the device fails the self-test, an alarm signal is issued and the generator set is prohibited from starting. When a fault occurs during the operation of the generator set, the controller executes the deceleration operation after receiving the relay 1 alarm. When the controller receives the relay 2 alarm, adjust the internal parameters of the control to make it normal. After receiving the alarm from relay 3, the generator stops and the grid-connecting switch is opened. When the grid voltage drops significantly, the module automatically calculates the depth and time of the drop, determines whether it can cross the low voltage, and gives the relay 4 diagnostic signal.
