Definitions
- Energy supply systems exchange electrical power with a higher-level energy supply network via a network connection point.
- systems with power electronic converters z. B. Photovoltaic (PV) systems, energy storage systems or large consumers such as electrolysers are regularly connected via a transformer to the higher-level network, z. B. an AC supply network connected.
- PV Photovoltaic
- Such large systems can have a system controller which, among other things, sets the apparent power consisting of active power and reactive power at the grid connection point.
- a system controller of a PV system is described in EP2504901, which determines an AC target voltage depending on the DC voltages of all inverters in the PV system and sets a transformation ratio of the transformer at the grid connection point depending on this.
- CN104104103 and CN103986181 describe how to set the transformation ratio of a transformer depending on an MPP voltage (maximum power point voltage) of a PV system.
- the rated output of a power converter of an energy supply system is generally limited by a maximum current strength of the currents converted in the inverter, in particular by a maximum mains current on the AC side.
- the rated power of the inverter can be increased by increasing the (AC) voltage.
- the nominal power of the inverter thus increases with increasing AC voltage increases linearly. It is therefore advantageous for technical and economic reasons to be able to choose the AC nominal voltage as high as possible.
- the minimum DC voltage is the voltage that is necessary to generate an AC current at a given AC voltage to be able to be exchanged with the AC supply network in a regulated manner with the desired apparent power.
- the fixed point of the AC voltage in the energy supply system is often the voltage at the grid connection point, i.e. the voltage on the AC supply grid-side winding of the transformer.
- the AC voltage on the AC side of the inverter is influenced by various effects, so that depending on the size of the system and the corresponding number of installations between the grid connection point and the inverter, significant changes in the AC voltage in the power supply system can occur.
- the AC voltage can depend dynamically on the apparent power of the inverter, whereby in particular any reactive power required by the AC supply network in the overexcited area can noticeably increase the AC voltage at the inverter due to the inductive properties of the installations, especially the transformer itself.
- the transformation ratio between the AC voltage on the part of the energy supply system of the transformer and the AC voltage in the AC supply network can be set via a step switch of the transformer at the grid connection point.
- a tap changer is operated by its own control unit in such a way that changes in the voltage of the AC supply network is counteracted in order to decouple the AC voltage within the power supply system from such changes.
- the abbreviation DC direct current
- direct voltage direct voltage
- AC alternating current
- the invention is based on the object of providing a method for operating an energy supply system, a system controller for an energy supply system and an energy supply system in which more efficient and/or more flexible operation is made possible.
- the object is solved by a method having the features of independent patent claim 1 .
- the object is also achieved by a method with the features of independent claim 16, a system controller with the features of independent claim 19 and by an energy supply system with the features of claim 20.
- Advantageous embodiments of the methods are claimed in the dependent claims.
- a method according to the invention serves to operate an energy supply system which is connected to an AC supply network via a transformer and exchanges electrical power with the AC supply network via the transformer.
- the transformer is connected to the AC supply network on a first side and to an AC system network of the energy supply system on a second side.
- the power supply system has at least one inverter that exchanges electrical power between a DC unit on the DC side of the inverter and the AC system grid on the AC side of the inverter.
- the procedure has the steps: • receiving at least one parameter of the power conversion of the at least one inverter, the at least one parameter preferably being received by a system controller of the energy supply system,
- the energy supply system can in particular be a photovoltaic system (PV system), which is mainly designed to feed electrical power into the AC supply network.
- PV system can include a large number of electrical components, in particular photovoltaic (PV) modules, which are distributed over a large area in a decentralized manner.
- PV string A group of PV modules that is grouped in strings, i.e. in the form of a series connection, is also called a photovoltaic string (PV string).
- a PV generator can have one or more PV strings connected in parallel to one another.
- a DC unit can have, for example, one or more such PV strings or one or more such PV generators and be connected to an inverter.
- An extensive PV system with a total output in the megawatt range can have a large number of DC units and correspondingly extensive installations such as AC lines and, if necessary, intermediate transformers.
- a DC unit can also be a DC storage unit, for example, which can be charged and discharged using DC current, so that the energy supply system can draw power from the AC supply grid or feed it into it as required.
- a DC unit can also drive a DC load, such as a B. be an electrolysis unit or the like, so that the power supply system designed primarily to draw power from the AC utility grid.
- the at least one inverter of the energy supply system adjusts a DC voltage on its DC side, which can be based on the desired operating point of the DC unit, ie, for example, on the operating point of maximum power (MPP) of a PV generator.
- MPP maximum power
- the respective PV generator on the MPP is operated with a relatively high DC voltage, it is desirable to feed in the PV power at the highest possible AC voltage in order to keep the output currents of the inverter and the currents in the system as low as possible maintain and thus minimize losses.
- the MPP voltage drops, for example with low irradiation, e.g. B. in the morning and / or evening and / or at high temperatures, the situation can arise that the DC voltage is no longer sufficient to set a sufficiently high voltage at the AC connection of the inverter.
- the DC voltage can depend, among other things, on the state of charge of the battery of the DC storage unit.
- a fully charged battery can have a relatively high DC voltage, so that the exchange of electrical power via the inverter can take place at a correspondingly high AC voltage.
- the power drawn from the electrolyser can be set using the voltage, so that the electrolyser has a relatively high DC voltage, particularly at high power, and can draw electrical power from a correspondingly high AC voltage via the inverter.
- the transformer has a controller for setting the tap changer.
- the control of the tap changer can work independently depending on the current voltage of the AC supply network and a (fixed) AC target voltage for the energy supply system. Additionally the control of the tap changer can be influenced by the system controller.
- the controller of the tap changer can regulate the tap changer largely autonomously in such a way that a specified AC setpoint voltage in the AC system network is approximated. For this purpose, the tap changer assumes different positions with different transmission ratios depending on the AC mains voltage.
- the control of the tap changer can receive inputs from the outside, e.g. B. the AC target voltage obtained.
- the AC setpoint voltage can be variably specified by such an input and suitably adapted during the operation of the energy supply system.
- the input, e.g. B. the AC target voltage, z. B. by the system controller, which is communicatively connected to the transformer or to its controller.
- a system controller can be used in particular, which is communicatively connected in particular to the at least one inverter.
- the method enables the optimization of energy supply systems, e.g. B. PV systems, storage systems or consumer systems, especially large systems in the megawatt range.
- energy supply systems e.g. B. PV systems, storage systems or consumer systems
- central inverters which themselves already have outputs in the megawatt range and are operated, for example, with a large number of PV strings, batteries and/or consumers
- the possible uses for the central inverter or inverters can be expanded.
- the method can be used to set the AC voltage as high as possible for a given DC voltage and given reactive power. This is possible regardless of the power flow direction, , i. H. it can be used both for energy supply systems that draw electrical power from the AC supply network and for energy supply systems that feed electrical power into the AC supply network.
- the method can also ensure that the DC voltage on the DC side of the at least one inverter is sufficiently high Compared to the AC voltage on the AC side of the at least one inverter is to allow regulated operation of the inverter.
- the AC voltage on the AC side of the inverter is only lowered if absolutely necessary, i.e. in particular if the inverter cannot generate a regulated AC voltage on its AC side from a given DC voltage that would feed into the AC - Supply network causes. This occurs, for example, when the MPP and/or battery voltage is relatively low, or when no regulated DC voltage can be generated from a given AC voltage on the AC side of the inverter, which is sufficient for feeding into the DC unit, e.g. B. is needed in a memory with a low state of charge or in an electrolyser with a low target output.
- the at least one parameter is determined in the at least one inverter and includes a vector length, the vector length including the ratio of the amplitudes of the voltages on the AC side and on the DC side of the at least one inverter.
- the vector length is proportional to the modulation level of a pulse width modulation control (PWM control) of the at least one inverter.
- PWM control pulse width modulation control
- the vector length thus essentially represents the ratio between the DC voltage present at the inverter and the amplitude of the AC voltage generated on the AC side by the inverter for regulated power transfer.
- the vector length can be available in different equivalent variants and possibly scaled.
- the amplitude of the AC voltage vector generated by the inverter control on the AC side of the inverter can be expressed in % of the maximum modulation of the actual DC voltage. At 100%, the vector length corresponds exactly to the full scale of a sinusoidal signal within the given DC limits. Due to so-called overmodulation, the vector length can increase by up to approx. 105% during operation without impermissible distortion and harmonic currents occurring. Special clock methods can be used for this purpose, for example space vector modulation and/or modulation of the position of the DC or AC middle potential, or conventional modulation methods in Combination with filter elements of the inverter must be designed in such a way that any distortions of the currents fed in remain within the normatively permitted framework, even with vector lengths of up to around 105%.
- the inverter follows the AC voltage on the AC plant grid and impresses the current on its AC side.
- the inverter is not voltage-adjusting and the energy supply system is operated in a grid-supporting manner, if necessary, but in particular not or at least not predominantly in a grid-forming manner in an island grid.
- the AC target voltage is repeatedly defined as a function of the vector length, the vector length depending in particular on the instantaneous voltage on the DC side of the at least one inverter.
- the vector length depends on the instantaneous apparent power exchanged with the AC supply network, in particular on the instantaneous active and/or reactive power of the inverters.
- the method makes it possible to ensure that a vector length of 105% does not occur even when the DC voltage is minimal, e.g. at the minimum MPP voltage of the PV system, when the battery charge level of the storage system is low or when the electrolyzer output is low is exceeded.
- the transformation ratio of the transformer can be selected dynamically and flexibly in such a way that when the DC voltage is present and the reactive power required in overexcited operation, the AC voltage on the AC system network can be increased to such an extent that the vector length of 105% is not exceeded.
- the voltage at the plant-side winding of the transformer can be set to the AC target voltage via the tap changer, so that this AC target voltage can be tracked by changing the transformation ratio using the tap changer if the AC mains voltage is variable.
- the AC target voltage is also adjusted to the current DC voltage as part of the process, so that any Control reserves regarding the vector length are exhausted.
- the method makes it possible, on the one hand, to select the highest possible AC voltage in the energy supply system and, on the other hand, not to exceed the maximum vector length for trouble-free, regulated power exchange.
- the energy supply system has more than one inverter, which exchange electrical power between a respective DC unit on the DC side of the inverter and the AC system grid on the AC side of the inverter, with the at least one parameter having respective vector lengths the inverter includes, wherein the respective vector length includes the respective ratio of the amplitudes of the voltages on the AC side and on the DC side of the respective inverter.
- the at least one parameter includes a vector length derived from the respective vector lengths, which includes in particular a vector length averaged from the respective vector lengths.
- the system controller z. B. record the vector lengths of the modulation of the respective inverter. This can e.g. This can be done, for example, by the inverters communicating their respective current vector lengths (or equivalent quantities) of their respective current control to the system controller. A mean value can then be formed, for example, from the vector lengths of several or all inverters, measured in %, which are connected to a common system network with a common transformer with tap changer.
- the averaged vector length comprises an arithmetic mean of the respective vector lengths of the respective inverters.
- the derived vector length is determined from the respective low-pass filtered vector lengths of the respective inverters.
- the vector lengths and/or the mean formed therefrom are additionally low-pass filtered with a time constant in order to obtain a moving average of the vector lengths of all inverters.
- the time constant is preferably large in relation to the regulation, e.g. B. longer than a minute.
- the derived vector length can thus depend on a moving average of the respective vector lengths.
- the spread of the individual vector lengths around the mean e.g. B. the moving average can be determined.
- This is particularly advantageous for determining a maximum value of the current vector lengths. It can happen that this scatter is large, e.g. B. with differently sized or differently operated DC units in the power supply system. It can also happen that the scatter within a system is relatively small, especially if the inverters that are connected to a common transformer are of homogeneous design, i.e. have comparable DC units that are exposed to comparable environmental conditions and are otherwise operated largely symmetrically will. This can apply to PV systems as well as to storage systems and to bulk consumers such as electrolysers.
- the AC setpoint voltage is reduced in order to reduce the vector lengths if the derived vector length of the inverters is above a first predefinable limit value, the first limit value being between 95% and 105%, preferably between 98% and 102% and most preferably is 99%. If the derived vector length continues to increase, the AC target voltage is reduced further until a vector length of approximately the first limit value is reached again, ie e.g. B. of 99% or less is achieved. In the case of an energy supply system with an inverter, the vector length of one inverter can be used instead of the derived vector length.
- the vector length can also be over 99% during operation of the inverter, but should not exceed 105%, the range between 99% and 105% represents a control reserve. This should be so large because the control for the tap changer is comparatively slow and other boundary conditions can change quickly between the control interventions. For example, the grid operator could suddenly adjust the reactive power setpoint for the power supply system, which, when the corresponding reactive power is generated by the inverters, leads to a change in the AC voltage within the power supply system and thus to a change in the vector length for a given DC voltage can.
- the AC setpoint voltage can be changed if the individual vector lengths have a large spread, i.e. in particular if the maximum value of the current vector lengths is above the first limit value plus a tolerance band, with the tolerance band being within the above-mentioned control reserve lies.
- an effective voltage can alternatively be recorded directly on the AC side of the inverter - before or after any smoothing reactor - and with the DC voltage on the DC side of the inverter can be put into relation.
- the following relationships can be determined from such a voltage measurement:
- U_DC is the DC voltage and k is a correction factor that depends on the current through the sine filter choke.
- the current, the phase angle between current and voltage, the inductance of the sine-wave filter choke and the capacitance of the sine-wave filter capacitor can be used to calculate k.
- the AC target voltage is increased when the vector length V and/or the derived vector length reaches a second predefinable limit value, the second limit value being between 90% and 100%, preferably between 96% and 98%.
- the second limit value is preferably below the first limit value.
- the AC target voltage is only increased again when the derived vector length falls below a second limit value.
- the second limit value can e.g. B. between 90% and 100%, preferably between 96% and 98%, for example at about 97%.
- the distance between the first and second limit value depends on the step width of the step switch and is in particular proportional to the relative voltage change of at least 3 switching steps of the step switch. This is a possible definition of a tolerance range in which the vector length can vary without the tap changer switching actions.
- the distance between the first and the second threshold value corresponds to a hysteresis width.
- the hysteresis width can preferably be so large that it includes the voltage change of at least 3 switching stages; with a typical "distance" between the switching stages of e.g. 0.65% of the nominal voltage, the hysteresis width could therefore e.g. B. be at least 2% based on the vector length. This results in a tolerance range in which the vector length can vary without the tap changer switching actions.
- the maximum number of changes in the AC target voltage per unit of time can be specified and is z. B. between 30 and 70 times per day, preferably between 40 and 60 times per day.
- the procedure should be set in such a way that the AC target voltage is not changed more than a specified number of times, e.g. 50 times, on a daily average and triggers a switching process in the tap changer.
- An adaptive method can be selected for this that counts the switching operations per day. If it is foreseeable that more than the specified number, e.g. B. more than 50, changes in the AC target voltage necessary, z. B. the time constant of the moving average of the vector length can be increased. The time constant can be limited, e.g. B. to a maximum of 20 minutes. If fewer than the specifiable specific number of changes in the AC target voltage are counted on a day, the time constant of the sliding averaging can be reduced accordingly.
- Such an adaptive method can be used in particular with a time constant in the middle range, i.e. in the range of approximately half the limit, e.g. B. 10 min, start.
- Another way to reduce the number of cycles is, e.g. B. an increase in the hysteresis width.
- the hysteresis is 2%. However, it can also be increased, e.g. B. to 3% or more if more than the predetermined specific number of changes in the AC target voltage per day are registered.
- the rate of change of the AC command voltage can be limited to a rate dependent on the rated voltage of the power facility.
- the rate of change of the desired AC voltage can be limited to at most ln per unit time, where ln is the nominal voltage of the installation and a reasonable unit of time is, for example, 1 hour. Times between two switching operations on the tap changer of less than 1 minute should preferably be avoided.
- Another way to reduce the number of cycles, i.e. the changes in the AC setpoint voltage and thus the switching operations on the tap changer, is e.g. B. to limit the rate of change of the desired AC voltage more, for example by increasing the time constant in the example above to eg 2 hours.
- the specified AC target voltage is above a specified minimum value and/or below a specified maximum value, the minimum value and/or the maximum value depending on a nominal voltage for the AC system network.
- the desired AC voltage preferably does not fall below an adjustable minimum value.
- the AC setpoint voltage preferably does not exceed an adjustable maximum value.
- the minimum and maximum values are typically within a tolerance band for the plant-internal mains voltage.
- a further method according to the invention serves to operate a transformer in an energy supply system which is connected to an AC supply network via the transformer. Electrical power is exchanged between the energy supply system and the AC supply network via the transformer, the transformer being connected to the AC supply network on a first side and to an AC system network of the energy supply system on a second side.
- the power supply system has at least one inverter that exchanges electrical power between a DC unit on the DC side of the inverter and the AC system grid on the AC side of the inverter.
- the energy supply system also has a system controller and the transformer has a control unit. The procedure is characterized by the steps: • Receiving an AC set voltage for the AC system grid by the control unit of the transformer from the system controller of the energy supply system,
- the positions of the tap changer can, for example, follow a typical daily course of the MPP voltage of the PV generators.
- the PV system starts in the morning with a low DC voltage and a correspondingly low AC voltage, in order to enable the earliest possible start.
- the MPP voltage and thus the DC voltage across the inverter increases soon after sunrise, so the AC voltage can be increased to minimize losses.
- the MPP voltage can drop again, whereby the AC voltage can be lowered if necessary, only to later rise again and at sunset reach a low value analogous to sunrise.
- the positions of the tap changer can follow a state of charge of the batteries, for example. For example, when the state of charge is low and the DC voltage is correspondingly low, charging or discharging can be carried out with the lowest possible AC voltage in order to utilize the battery's voltage range as far as possible. As the state of charge increases, the DC voltage also increases, so the AC voltage can be increased to minimize losses. If the energy supply system is designed as a large consumer, for example, in that the DC units include electrolyzers, for example, the positions of the tap changer can follow a setpoint power of the electrolyzer, for example, which can be set using the DC voltage.
- the inverter can supply the electrolyser with a low target power and correspondingly low DC voltage from as small an AC voltage as possible in order to utilize the power range of the electrolyser as far as possible.
- a high setpoint power of the electrolyzer requires a correspondingly high DC voltage, which the inverter can also generate from a high AC voltage, so that the AC voltage can be increased, in particular to minimize losses.
- the operation of the inverter itself can affect the AC voltage in the power supply system.
- reactive power generated by the inverter can lead to a change in the AC voltage due to inductive properties of the installations of the power supply system.
- the method according to the invention can take these influences into account, in that the parameter of the power conversion depends on the AC voltage at the output of the inverter, and in this respect, for example, it enables operation with voltage-increasing reactive power in the overexcited range, in that the AC voltage is calculated based on the specification of a suitably reduced AC Target voltage is reduced.
- the transformer's tap changer sets the transformation ratio based on the AC setpoint voltage and the AC voltage in the AC supply network.
- the transformation ratio changes for a given AC target voltage if the voltage in the AC supply network changes. With a given voltage in the AC supply network, the transformation ratio changes when the AC setpoint voltage changes.
- the transmission of the AC target voltage to the transformer is suitable for changing the transformation ratio via the tap changer of the transformer and thus optimally adapting the AC voltage in the energy supply system.
- the transformer is, for example, a high-voltage transformer, z. B. a 120 MVA transformer.
- the tap changer which can change the transmission ratio of the transformer in 31 steps, for example, is installed in the transformer of the power supply system, which is arranged between an inverter of the power supply system and a higher-level AC supply network.
- This means that the plant-side voltage can be changed within a change range of, for example, +/-10% (0.65% per step) for a given AC voltage in the supply network. Larger ranges of change up to +/-20% can also occur.
- the middle of the change range can correspond to a nominal voltage, so that changes are possible symmetrically by the same amount, or deviate from a nominal voltage, so that the change range is asymmetrical around the nominal voltage (eg +15%, -5%).
- the transformer and/or its tap changer or its control unit can be controlled in a communicative manner, in particular via a fieldbus, and in this way can be supplied with the desired AC voltage.
- the regulation of the transformer for the tap changer can be used to prevent the use of central inverters with high power in the megawatt range at high AC voltages, which may be influenced by the feeding of reactive power by the inverter itself, and at the same time at least temporarily low DC To design tensions particularly efficiently.
- the at least one parameter includes a vector length, so that a change in the voltage on the DC side and/or a change in the apparent power fed in of the at least one inverter causes a change in the transformation ratio of the transformer.
- a change in the reactive power of the at least one inverter causes a change in the transformation ratio of the transformer. This is preferably achieved by changing the AC target voltage in response to a change in the reactive power of the inverter or the resulting change in the vector length.
- the vector length is exactly 100% if the phasor voltage of the inverter, i.e. the amount of the rotating phase vector of the AC voltage on the AC side of the inverter, corresponds exactly to the set DC voltage, especially if no reactive power is generated by the inverter.
- the vector length is a value that can be used particularly advantageously, since it is usually readily available and already inherently includes most, if not all, of the relevant influencing variables for the optimal control of the tap changer.
- the tap changer can also be accessed directly, so that instead of the AC target voltage, for example, the transformation ratio itself can be used as a manipulated variable.
- the system controller could also control the tap changer.
- the system controller can then also react to any changes in the mains voltage in the higher-level AC supply network, with the mains voltage in the AC supply network being able to be made available, for example, by an AC current measurement at the network connection point.
- the system controller can then also implement safety functions, specific switching sequences, delays, etc. as an alternative or in addition to controlling the transformer. In this way, the system controller can also at least partially take over the functions of a largely self-sufficient control unit of the transformer.
- An energy supply system is connected to an AC supply network via a transformer, the transformer being connected to the AC supply network on a first side and to an AC system network of the energy supply system on a second side.
- the energy supply system has at least one inverter which is connected to a DC unit on a DC side and to the AC system network on an AC side.
- a system controller for such an energy supply system is set up: • to receive at least one operating parameter of the at least one inverter,
- the AC setpoint voltage for the AC system network is preferably defined in such a way that the highest possible AC voltage can be achieved on the AC system network during operation of the system.
- An energy supply system has a transformer, an AC system network, at least one inverter and at least one DC unit, the energy supply system having a system controller that is set up to carry out the above method.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows an exemplary embodiment of a method for operating an energy supply system
- FIG. 3 shows examples of different variables over time in an energy supply system.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a method for operating an energy supply system (10, see FIG. 2).
- the energy supply system 10 has a transformer 14 with a tap changer 16, an AC System network 18 and two inverters 22, 24 on.
- the power supply system 10 further includes a system controller 20, the communicative z. B. via a field bus 30, with the inverters 22, 24 and with the transformer 14 or with the tap changer 16 of the transformer 14 (or its control of the tap changer 16, not shown).
- the energy supply system 10 is connected to an AC supply network 12 via the transformer 14 .
- a step S1 the system controller 20 of the energy supply system 10 receives a vector length V of the respective inverter 22, 24.
- the system controller 20 sets an AC target voltage for the AC system grid 18 as a function of one of the vector lengths V derived vector length.
- the system controller 20 transmits the AC target voltage to the transformer 14, with the tap changer 16 of the transformer 14 being set up to set a transformation ratio T such that the product of the voltage in the AC supply network 12 and the transformation ratio T is the AC - Target voltage results.
- the step switch 16 sets the transmission ratio T accordingly.
- the system controller 20 transmits an AC setpoint voltage to the tap changer 16 in step S3 16 drives.
- Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the power supply system 10 with the system controller 20, which communicates via a wired or wireless communication structure, z. B. via the fieldbus 30, with the inverters 22, 24 is connected.
- the energy supply system 10 exchanges electrical power with the AC supply network 12 via the transformer 14, with the transformer 14 being connected on a first side to the AC supply network 12 and on a second side to the AC system network 18 of the energy supply system 10 connected. Via the tap changer 16, the transformation ratio of the transformer 14 to be set.
- the transformer 14 also has a controller via which the tap changer 16 can be controlled.
- the energy supply system 10 has two inverters 22, 24, the electrical power between a respective PV string 26, 28 on the DC side of the inverter 22, 24 and the AC system grid 18 on the AC side of the inverter 22, 24 exchange.
- the illustrated PV strings 26, 28 are examples of DC units in a power supply system 10 and can easily be replaced by storage, e.g. As batteries, or by loads such. B. electrolysers are replaced. This does not require any significant changes, neither to the inverters 22, 24 nor to the method described above.
- the control of the transformer 14 is set up to receive the AC target voltage for the AC system network 18 from the system controller 20 of the energy supply system 10 .
- the controller of the transformer 14 is also set up to adapt the transformation ratio of the transformer 14 by means of the tap changer 16 in such a way that the product of the voltage in the AC supply network 12 and the transformation ratio results in the desired AC voltage.
- the tap changer 16 can be set in such a way that the product of the (measured) voltage in the AC supply network 12 and the transformation ratio T results in the AC setpoint voltage.
- the derived vector length is outside a desired range, in particular if it reaches an upper limit value, new setpoint values for tap changer 16 are generated in transformer 14 . If these setpoints cannot be implemented by the step switch 16 or only with a delay, e.g. due to overheating or a defect in the step switch 16, a corresponding feedback signal is generated by the step switch 16 and transmitted to the system controller 20.
- the system controller 20 can then, if necessary, adjust the active and reactive power setpoints for the inverter or inverters 22, 24 in order to change the vector length V in a different way, in particular to reduce it and limit it to a maximum vector length of 99%, for example.
- the inverter 22, 24 has a bridge circuit in which alternating current on the AC side or AC voltage on the AC side is converted into direct current on the DC side or DC voltage on the DC side or vice versa, in particular by clocked control of semiconductor switches.
- the inverter 22, 24 On the AC side of the bridge circuit, the inverter 22, 24 provides a "chopped" DC voltage which is present at an inductance, for example a choke of an output filter of the inverter 22, 24, while on the other side, i.e. "behind" the choke, the AC voltage of the AC system network is present.
- a standard-compliant sinusoidal AC current is produced that follows the AC voltage if the instantaneous mean value of the chopped DC voltage is higher than the instantaneous AC voltage downstream of the choke at all times.
- the inverter 22, 24 thus sets an AC voltage as a pulse width modulated DC voltage on the AC side of its bridge circuit.
- the DC-side DC voltage should be at least as high as the crest value be the AC grid voltage of the AC system grid 18 . This corresponds to a vector length V of 100%.
- To the Generation of reactive power requires the DC voltage to be even higher in relation to the crest value of the AC voltage on the AC plant network 18 due to the phase shift between current and voltage u.II.
- an inverter 22, 24 can also be operated in a regulated manner, particularly in three-phase networks, with vector lengths V greater than 100%.
- the working range with vector lengths V greater than 100% is used here as a so-called control reserve.
- the current vector length V during operation of an inverter 22, 24 is particularly influenced by:
- the resulting inductive decoupling impedance between the terminals of the bridge circuit of the inverter 22, 24 and the grid connection point includes an AC choke in the inverter 22, 24, the inductance of the transformer 14 with the tap changer 16, the inductance of the extended AC lines of the AC system grid 18, as well as e.g. B. other intermediate transformers.
- the reactive power causes a voltage increase and, in particular due to the inductance of the transformer 14, an increase in the plant-side AC voltage at the transformer 14.
- 3 shows time curves for a vector length V, a DC voltage U_DC on the DC side of an inverter 22, 24, a reactive power Q generated by the inverter and the transformation ratio T of the transformer 14.
- the vector length V can represent the vector length of one of the inverters 22, 24 or the vector length derived from the vector lengths of the inverters 22, 24, provided that the inverters 22, 24 are operated in a largely equivalent manner.
- the DC voltage U_DC can represent the DC voltage of one of the DC units 26, 28 or an average value of the DC voltages of the DC units 26, 28, provided that the DC units 26, 28 have a largely homogeneous structure.
- the reactive power Q can represent a default value that is set at the grid connection point of the power generation plant.
- the transformation ratio T is reciprocally proportional to the resulting desired AC voltage, in that a low desired AC voltage for a given and constant voltage in the AC supply network 12 requires a high transformation ratio T and vice versa.
- the voltage U_DC is too low, so that none of the inverters 22, 24 is in operation.
- the vector length V is therefore shown as a dashed line, since it can only be estimated from the DC and AC voltage, but is not actually available as a parameter due to the lack of ongoing control.
- the transmission ratio T is set to the maximum possible value n max .
- the AC voltage in the system network 18 is as low as possible in order to enable the inverters 22, 24 to be started up with the lowest possible DC voltage U_DC.
- the system controller 20 can then raise the AC target voltage, so that the tap changer 16 reduces the transformation ratio T of the transformer 14 . Due to the further increasing DC voltage U_DC, this process is repeated twice more up to time t3.
- a relatively low transmission ratio T is set between t3 and t4, ie the AC voltage in the system network 18 is relatively high.
- the DC voltage U_DC shows slight fluctuations, but these are so small that the vector length V ranges between the lower limit value of 97% and the upper limit value of 99%.
- the DC voltage U_DC has fallen so far that the vector length V exceeds the upper limit value at 99%.
- the system controller 20 then lowers the AC target voltage, so that the tap changer 16 increases the transformation ratio T of the transformer 14 . This is repeated again shortly after t4 due to the DC voltage U_DC falling somewhat further.
- the reactive power Q changes suddenly. This can be triggered, for example, due to the implementation of a binding request for reactive power by a grid operator or by a reaction of the power generation plant 10 to a grid fault in the AC supply grid 12 .
- the generation of the reactive power by the inverters 22, 24 leads to a reduction in the AC voltage in the system network 18, whereupon the vector length V also decreases and falls below the lower limit value of 97%.
- the AC setpoint voltage can be increased and the transformation ratio T reduced accordingly; this occurs in FIG. 3 with a certain time delay, which means that the number of switching operations can be limited, for example by waiting for the control to settle, in order to avoid unnecessary switching operations due to temporary effects.
- the delay before the transmission ratio T changes is not critical, since a short vector length only causes unnecessary losses. After changing the transmission ratio T, the vector length V is initially constant at almost 99%.
- the reactive power Q changes in the opposite direction, which in this example leads to an increase in the AC voltage in the system network 18.
- the vector length V also increases accordingly and initially reaches a value above the upper limit value of 99%. This is not critical to a certain extent and for a certain period of time, since the inverters 22, 24 are also fundamentally active can be operated within a certain control reserve with vector lengths of up to approx. 105%.
- the vector length V increases significantly again due to another change in the reactive power Q, so that the system controller 20 reacts immediately and the AC target voltage drops significantly, so that the transformation ratio T is correspondingly increased by the vector length V below the upper one limit of 99%.
- the reactive power is set to zero, so that the AC voltage in the system network drops again and the vector length falls below the lower limit of 97% accordingly. Then, if necessary with a certain time delay, the transformation ratio T is also reduced in order to increase the AC voltage within the permitted range and thereby reduce losses in particular.
- the DC voltage U_DC drops continuously and at time t10 it reaches such a low value that the inverters 22, 24 can no longer be operated and switch off (the opposite of being switched on at time t2). Due to the drop in the DC voltage between t9 and t10, the vector length V increases continuously and is repeatedly reset below the upper limit value of 99% by increasing the transformation ratio T until the maximum transformation ratio n max is reached and the further increase in the vector length does not more can be counteracted.
- Fig. 3 can illustrate a typical daily routine of a PV system, in which the MPP voltage - and thus the DC voltage - has a steep rise at sunrise and a - somewhat less - steep drop at sunset and is largely constant in between, however, may still vary due to varying temperatures, for example.
- the time sequences in the period t1 to t3 can, for example, the behavior of a PV system at sunrise or the charging and starting of a Illustrate electrolysers.
- the behavior in the time period t3 to t5 can occur in particular in a PV system that is exposed to fluctuating temperatures, for example.
- the behavior is mainly influenced by external influences, in particular by reactive power specifications, and can therefore occur in power supply systems with all types of DC units.
- the time profiles in the time period t9 to t10 are particularly typical for PV systems at sunset or also for energy storage systems with a high discharge power.
- the method ensures that the AC voltage is kept as high as possible and is only lowered when absolutely necessary, i.e. in particular when the inverter cannot generate a regulated AC voltage from a given DC voltage, the one feeding from the DC unit (PV, storage, etc.) into the AC grid, or vice versa, if no regulated DC voltage can be generated from a given AC voltage that would feed into the DC load ( Storage, electrolysis, etc.) causes.
