Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method of inexpensively performing power factor control at a power receiving point of power generation equipment or load equipment using a self-commutated reactive power compensator.

Renewable energies such as solar and wind do not emit greenhouse gases and are expected to be used more in order to achieve the greenhouse gas reduction targets set based on the Paris Agreement. Since these renewable energies can be produced domestically, they are being promoted as important energy sources that contribute to energy security.

In the utilization of renewable energy, a power generation facility using an induction generator is connected to a power system and starts by receiving power therefrom. During power generation, the power flow is reversed from that during start-up, and power is supplied from the power generation facility to the power system.

Since the power generation equipment generates reactive power at startup, the voltage of the power system drops. In order to prevent this voltage drop, a reactive power compensator that cancels the reactive power generated by the power generation equipment at startup is connected in parallel with the power generation equipment. As an example, the power factor control technology described in Patent Document 1 below can be presented.

In the constant power factor control method described in Patent Document 1, a reactive power compensator connected in parallel to power generation equipment connected to an electric power system outputs reactive power of a magnitude that cancels the reactive power generated when the power generation equipment is started. As a result, the power factor at the power receiving point of the power generation equipment can be controlled to be constant, and the power factor at the power receiving point can be controlled to be constant even during reverse power flow during power generation by the power generation equipment.

In addition, generation of reactive power in such a power system is also caused by load equipment connected to the power system. Compensation of reactive power caused by power generation equipment and load equipment can be handled by the reactive power compensator connected in parallel to these equipment. Reactive power adjustment by turning on/off a phase-advancing capacitor is also possible.

On the other hand, the power factor control device described in Patent Literature 2 also uses transducers to measure active power and reactive power, which is also expensive. In addition, since the reactive power is adjusted by turning on/off the phase-advancing capacitor, the reactive power can only be adjusted stepwise, and the power factor control is also stepwise.

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a power factor control method utilizing a self-commutated static var compensator (STATCOM) 1 according to the present invention.

A self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 according to the present invention is connected in parallel with a power generation facility or a load facility 2 connected to an electric power system, and by supplying an output current of leading phase or lagging phase to the electric power system, It has a function of adjusting the power factor of the power generation equipment or the load equipment 2 viewed from the power system side to a set value.

A current transformer CT1 for current detection is attached to the rear stage (on the side of the power generation facility or the load facility) of the connection point (hereinafter referred to as the power receiving point) between the power generation facility or the load facility 2 and the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1. .

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 shown in FIG. The self-commutated reactive power compensator 1, as shown in FIG. It is composed of multiple switching elements such as a control device 3 that measures the reactive power generated and performs feedback control so that the output reactive power becomes the set value, and PWM controlled by the drive signal output by the control device 3. A three-phase inverter 4, a capacitor 5 connected to the DC side of the three-phase inverter 4, an LC filter 6 connected to the AC side of the three-phase inverter 4, and connected between the LC filter 6 and the current transformer CT. It is composed of a step-up transformer 7 .

In order for the self-excited reactive power compensator 1 to operate, it is necessary to charge the capacitor 5 in advance. The capacitor 5 is charged via the three-phase inverter 4 from the power system.

In the original operation, the DC voltage of the charged capacitor 5 is converted to AC voltage by PWM-controlling switching elements such as IGBTs, and after harmonics are reduced by the LC filter 6, the voltage is passed through the step-up transformer 7. , to supply a set value of reactive power to the grid.

The reactive power supplied to the power system compensates for the voltage drop in the power system due to the reactive power that occurs when the power generation equipment starts up or generates electricity. Similarly, it compensates for voltage drops in the power system by canceling reactive power generated by loads connected to the power system.

Next, the power factor control method of the power receiving point by the controller 3 (3a) of the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The controller 3a of the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 includes a received power voltage detector 8, a received current detector 9a, a received active/reactive power calculator 10, a reactive power target value calculator 11, and output reactive power feedback control. It is roughly configured from a part 12 .

The control device 3a shown in FIG. 3 uses the original voltage, but uses a combination of the original current and another current. As for the voltage, it is detected as the voltage at the power receiving point (power receiving voltage) by the power receiving voltage detector 8 from the potential transformer VT shown in FIG. As for the current, the output current (original) detected by the current transformer CT shown in FIG. 2 and the current of the power generation equipment or the load equipment 2 detected by the external current transformer CT1 shown in FIG. It is input to the detection unit 9a, calculated as a current at the power receiving point (receiving current), and used to calculate the receiving active/reactive power.

Received active/reactive power calculation unit 10 calculates active power pr and reactive power qr at the receiving point using the received voltage and received current detected by received voltage detection unit 8 and received current detection unit 9a. The active power pr at the receiving point is obtained from the inner product of the instantaneous value vector of the receiving voltage and the instantaneous value vector of the receiving current, and the reactive power qr at the receiving point is obtained from the outer product of the instantaneous value vector of the receiving voltage and the instantaneous value vector of the receiving current. Desired.

FIG. 4 shows a specific example of how to calculate the active power pr and the reactive power qr. Received active/reactive power calculator 10 includes active power calculator 10a and reactive power calculator 10b shown in FIG. An instantaneous value pf of the active power is calculated from an inner product of a given instantaneous value vector <vof>uvw and an instantaneous value vector <iof>uvw output from the receiving current detection unit 9a.

In addition, the reactive power calculator 10b calculates the reactive power from the outer product of the instantaneous value vector <vof>uvw, which is the output of the received voltage detector 8 shown in FIG. 3, and the instantaneous value vector <iof>uvw, which is the output of the received current detector 9a. Calculate the instantaneous power qf.

The active power pr calculated in this manner is output to the reactive power target value calculator 11, and used to calculate the reactive power target value qref together with pfset input as the power factor set value at the power receiving point shown in FIG. . The reactive power target value qref is calculated by the following formula (1).

The reactive power target value qref calculated in this manner is output to the output reactive power feedback control section 12, and the reactive power qr output from the received active/reactive power calculation section 10 is input to the addition point 12a. The addition point 12a calculates the difference between the reactive power target value qref and the reactive power qr, and outputs the deviation Δq.

The control device 3a includes a constant voltage control section for controlling the voltage of the capacitor 5 to be constant, an output current control section, and a PWM control section, in addition to those shown in FIG. It should be noted that these control units are well-known technologies, so description and illustration thereof will be omitted. The control device 3a PWM-controls the inverter 4 by inputting a drive signal output from a PWM control section (not shown) to the inverter 4 shown in FIG. The inverter 4 converts the DC voltage of the capacitor 5 into an AC voltage according to this PWM control, and then supplies it to the power system via the LC filter 6 and the step-up transformer 7 so that the power factor at the power receiving point becomes the set value pfset. , in other words, the reactive power is supplied so that the reactive power qr becomes the target value qref.

By performing the above control, the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 can control the power factor of the power receiving point shown in FIG. 1 to the set value pfset.

Here, in the power factor control method shown in Patent Document 1, current transformers are attached to both the substation side and the generator side when viewed from the connection point of the reactive power compensator, and the current detected by these current transformers is compared with the phase of the voltage detected by the instrument transformer to determine whether or not the power generation equipment is generating power. Then, according to this determination result, the sign of the reactive power to be output is determined so that the power factor at the connection point becomes the set value, thereby controlling the power factor on the power generation equipment side as seen from the power supply side to the set power factor. are doing.

On the other hand, according to the power factor control method of the present invention, the controller 3a of the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 uses |pr| Therefore, the power factor at the power receiving point can be controlled to the set value pfset regardless of whether or not the power generation equipment is generating power. As a result, in the power factor control method of the present invention, only one current transformer is required to be attached to the outside, and there is no need to provide two current transformers as in Patent Document 1, so that the device can be configured at a low cost. can be done.

In addition, unlike the case of Patent Document 2, no transducers are used for measuring active power and reactive power, which also contributes to cost reduction of equipment.

The self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 according to the present invention uses the method shown in FIG. It can also be realized by other methods.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the received active/reactive power calculator 13 shown in FIG. 3 is configured by αβ converters 13a and 13b, an active power calculator 13c, and a reactive power calculator 13d. Then, the receiving current detection unit 9a shown in FIG. 3 detects instantaneous values (iofu, iofv , iofw), constructs an instantaneous current value vector <iof>uvw having the instantaneous values (iofu, iofv, iofw) as components, and outputs the current instantaneous value vector <iof>uvw to the αβ conversion unit 13a.

3 detects the instantaneous values (vofu, vofv, vofw) of the voltage at the power receiving point shown in FIG. ) as components, and outputs it to the αβ conversion unit 13b.

In the αβ conversion unit 13a, the input received current instantaneous value vector <iof>uvw is coordinated to an instantaneous value vector <iof>ab whose components are equivalent two-phase currents (α-phase current iofa, β-phase current iofb). It is converted (however, the zero phase is 0) and is output to the active power calculator 13c and the reactive power calculator 13d.

In the αβ conversion unit 13b, the instantaneous value vector <vof>uvw of the input received voltage is coordinated to the instantaneous value vector <vof>ab whose components are equivalent two-phase voltages (α-phase voltage vofa, β-phase voltage vofb). It is converted (however, the zero phase is 0) and is output to the active power calculator 13c and the reactive power calculator 13d.

The active power calculation unit 13c can calculate the instantaneous value pf of the active power by the vector inner product of the output <iof>ab of the αβ conversion unit 13a and the output <vof>ab of the αβ conversion unit 13b.

The reactive power calculation unit 13d can calculate the instantaneous value qf of the reactive power by the vector product of the output <iof>ab of the αβ conversion unit 13a and the output <vof>ab of the αβ conversion unit 13b.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the received active/reactive power calculator 14 shown in FIG. Configured by

3, the instantaneous values (iofu, iofv , iofw), constructs an instantaneous current value vector <iof>uvw whose components are the instantaneous values (iofu, iofv, iofw), and outputs the current instantaneous value vector <iof>uvw to the αβ conversion unit 14a shown in FIG.

Further, the receiving voltage detection unit 8 shown in FIG. 3 detects the instantaneous values (vofu, vofv, vofw) of the voltage at the receiving point shown in FIG. ) as components, and outputs it to the αβ conversion unit 14b.

Then, the αβ conversion unit 14a converts the input instantaneous value vector <iof>uvw of the received current into an instantaneous value vector <iof>ab whose components are equivalent two-phase currents (α-phase current iofa, β-phase current iofb). , and outputs it to the γδ conversion unit 14c.

On the other hand, in the αβ conversion unit 14b, the instantaneous value vector <vof>uvw of the input received voltage is converted into an instantaneous value vector <vof>ab , and outputs it to the γδ conversion unit 14d.

The γδ converter 14c coordinate-transforms the output <iof>ab of the αβ converter 14a into an instantaneous value vector <iof>gd whose components are equivalent two-phase currents (γ-phase current iofg, δ-phase current iofd). , to the active power calculator 14e and the reactive power calculator 14f.

The γδ converter 14d coordinate-transforms the output <vof>ab of the αβ converter 14b into an instantaneous value vector <vof>gd whose components are equivalent two-phase voltages (γ-phase voltage vofg, δ-phase voltage vofd). , to the active power calculator 14e and the reactive power calculator 14f.

The active power calculator 14e calculates the instantaneous value pf of the active power by the vector inner product of the output <iof>gd of the γδ converter 14c and the output <vof>gd of the γδ converter 14d. The instantaneous value qf of the reactive power can be calculated by the vector product of the output <iof>gd of the γδ conversion unit 14c and the output <vof>gd of the γδ conversion unit 14d.

As described above, according to the received active/reactive power calculation units 10, 13, and 14 of the control device 3a according to the present invention, the calculated active power instantaneously The value pf becomes the same value. In addition, since the instantaneous value qf of the reactive power is the same regardless of which method is used, any method may be used.

FIG. 7 shows a power factor control method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. According to the power factor control method of the second embodiment, the phase-advancing capacitor equipment 15 is connected in parallel with the reactive power compensator 1 to the power system to which the generator equipment or the load equipment is connected. Furthermore, a second current transformer CT2 is installed in the external front stage of the phase-advancing capacitor equipment 15 .

The phase-advance capacitor equipment 15 has a plurality of phase-advance capacitors, and by adjusting the number of phase-advance capacitors to be switched on/off, it is possible to control the power factor of the power receiving point. Then, the second current transformer CT2 installed in the external front stage of the phase-advancing capacitor equipment 15 detects the current flowing into the phase-advancing capacitor equipment 15, and outputs the detected current value to the controller of the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1. 3 (3b).

Next, the power factor control method of the power receiving point by the controller 3b of the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 will be described with reference to FIG. However, since the description will be repeated, the description of the components with the same numbers as those shown in FIG. 3 will be omitted, and only the receiving current detection unit 9b different from that in FIG. 3 will be described. In this embodiment, the output current detected by the current transformer CT shown in FIG. 2, the current detected by the external first current transformer CT1 shown in FIG. 7, and the current detected by the second current transformer CT2 The current is input to the receiving current detection unit 9b, calculated as the current at the receiving point (receiving current), and used to calculate the receiving active/reactive power. The method of calculating the received active/reactive power after this is also the same as in FIGS. 4 to 6, so the description is omitted.

In this embodiment, the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 and the phase-advancing capacitor equipment 15 share the reactive power required for power factor control at the power receiving point. Although the sharing ratio is arbitrary, for example, if the reactive power required for power factor control at the power receiving point is from the minimum Qmin to the maximum Qmax, the sharing ratio of the phase advance capacitor equipment 15 can be set to Qave=(Qmax+Qmin)/2. In this case, the output reactive power of the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 becomes the maximum Qmax-Qave, and an increase in the capacity of the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1 can be avoided.

Further, by combining the power factor control by the phase-advancing capacitor equipment 15 and the power factor control by the self-commutated reactive power compensator 1, continuous power factor control is possible unlike the power factor control device described in Patent Document 2 above. becomes.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the power generation equipment or the load equipment is connected to the electric power system was illustrated, but the present invention can be applied to the case where both the power generation equipment and the load equipment are connected in the same manner as in the embodiment. power factor can be controlled.

Moreover, the power factor can be similarly controlled regardless of whether the power generation equipment is a synchronous generator or an induction generator.

As described above, according to the power factor control method using the self-commutated reactive power compensator of the present invention, only one current transformer for current detection is provided externally, and the connection point of the power generation equipment and the load equipment can control the power factor at low cost.

In addition, by using the reactive power control function of the self-commutated reactive power compensator, it becomes possible to easily control the power factor at the connection point of the power generation equipment and the load equipment.

Furthermore, since the target value qref of the reactive power at the connection point of the power generation equipment and the load equipment is calculated using │pr│, one external current transformer for current detection is required regardless of whether the power generation equipment is generating power can be used to control the power factor of the connection point.

In addition, by controlling the power factor by combining a phase-advancing capacitor and a self-excited reactive power compensator, it is possible to prevent the capacity of the self-excited reactive power compensator from becoming large, and also use the reactive power control function of the self-excited reactive power compensator. By doing so, continuous power factor control becomes possible. However, in this case, a second current transformer is required for detecting the current flowing through the phase-advancing capacitor.
