The present invention relates to a device and a method for creating, from an analysis model of an electric power system including natural energy power generation, a model in which the system is contracted.
In many cases, an upper limit of electric energy of electric power transmitted by an electric power system depends on transient stability during a system fault derived from a thunderbolt or the like. In the circumstances, for determining to what degree the transmitted power can be increased, it is effective to grasp the transient stability by a transient stability simulation on the assumption of a system fault.
Recently, the wide dissemination of natural energy used in wind power generation, solar photovoltaic power generation, and the like has been ongoing. Natural energy power generation of these types is often interconnected to a system via electric power converters using power electronics; thus, a reaction during the system fault is determined, depending on a method of controlling the electric power converters. Non-Patent Document 1, for example, indicates a code for fault ride through (FRT) requirements (hereinafter, referred to as “FRT requirements”). In a case of operating natural energy power generation in accordance with this code, whether to continue operation of the natural energy power generation right after a system fault is determined, depending on a system state.
Whether to continue the operation of the natural energy power generation right after the system fault, in turn, has an influence on the transient stability of rotary type generators. Non-Patent Document 2, for example, indicates that a fault time limit varies and the transient stability differs, depending on whether to permit operation of solar photovoltaic power generation to continue right after a fault.
In this way, an electric power system transient stability simulation needs to accurately simulate operation characteristics (such as FRT characteristics) of distributed power supplies (for the natural energy power generation) using the power converters during a system fault. On the other hand, many small-scale natural energy power supplies at multiple points are often interconnected, and a problem occurs that simulation time increases if a simulation is performed to accurately simulate these power supplies. To address such a problem, a technique for achieving reduction in the simulation time by creating a “contraction model” obtained by contracting an analysis model of an electric power system and reducing the number of generators and the number of system nodes/branches has been studied.
Patent Document 1, for example, indicates a technique for determining a contraction model that can generate fluctuation waveforms at different faults with high accuracy.
Furthermore, Patent Document 2, for example, indicates a technique for dividing a contraction range of an original system model in accordance with types of designated nodes and generators, creating a partial contraction model by contracting an electric power system for each contraction range divided by system contraction means, and creating a contraction model of an entire system.

In a method described in Patent Document 1 mentioned above, a technique for contracting rotary type generators that may fluctuate during a system fault is indicated; however, a technique for contracting natural energy power generation is not indicated.
Furthermore, in a method described in Patent Document 2 mentioned above, a technique for creating the contraction model of the entire system is indicated; however, because of creation of a common model to system faults, there is a concern of developing calculation errors in the transient stability depending on system fault conditions.
Taking the above into consideration, an attempt to accurately analyze many interconnected small-scale natural energy power supplies at multiple points by a simulation takes a great amount of computing time. Owing to this, when a system analysis is performed by reducing computing time by contraction, it is not determined whether to permit contraction of each natural energy power supply in response to a system fault condition, resulting in low analysis accuracy of a system contraction model.
To solve the problem, the present invention provides an electric power system model analysis device for creating a contraction analysis model of an electric power system, including: a fault condition setting section that sets a fault condition including a location or an aspect of a fault in the electric power system; and a natural energy contracted spot determination section that determines whether to permit contraction of the electric power system including natural energy power supplies on the basis of the fault condition and a voltage state during a fault, wherein the natural energy contracted spot determination section determines that the contraction is prohibited if one of the natural energy power supplies prohibited from being contracted is present within a predetermined range of the electric power system, and determines that the contraction is permitted if the natural energy power supply prohibited from being contracted is not present within the predetermined range of the electric power system.
According to the present invention, it is possible to create a system contraction model in response to a system fault, and to reduce system computing time while avoiding reduction in analysis accuracy (development of stability limit errors) due to contraction.
An embodiment of the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to the drawings. It is noted that the following description is merely the embodiment and it is not intended to limit the invention itself to the following specific contents.
First, an outline of contracting an analysis model of an electric power system by contracting natural energy power supplies and reducing analysis time will be described with reference to
If a system fault 180 due to a thunderbolt or the like occurs in such a system analysis model, acceleration (increase in a revolution speed) and a fluctuation (vibration) of the thermal power generation 130 occur. If this acceleration of generators is equal to or higher than a certain amount or the fluctuation is dispersed, operation of the thermal power generation cannot continue, thus turning into a state in which transient stability and synchronization stability cannot be maintained. By creating the system analysis model and performing a time simulation as described herein, it is possible to determine whether the transient stability and the synchronization stability can be maintained.
It is noted herein that actions of the wind power generation 171, 172, 173, 176, 177, and 178 during a fault influence a result of a transient stability simulation of the electric power system. For example, it is important to accurately simulate performance characteristics (such as FRT characteristics) during a system fault. In the meantime, six pieces of wind power generation at six spots are interconnected, and simulation time increases as the number of the wind power generation increases. Therefore, reducing the simulation time is achieved by partially contracting the electric power system including the wind power generation.
The computer CPU 13 executes herein a calculation program to perform an instruction of image data to be displayed, a search of data in the various databases, and the like. The random access memory RAM 15 is a memory that temporarily stores calculation result data including fault condition-voltage distribution data, FRT characteristics of the natural energy, installation point information data, data that represents determination results of a contraction target group region and a contraction target out of the natural energy and the system, system configuration data about equipment, such as lines and generators, that configures the electric power system, system analysis model data that is a contraction result, and the like. The computer CPU 13 generates necessary image data on the basis of these pieces of data and displays the image data on the display device 11 (for example, a display screen).
Roughly six databases DB are mounted in the electric power system model creation device 10. The fault condition-voltage distribution database DB1 stores data on candidates of fault occurrence spots and fault conditions (for example, a fault aspect such as three-phase ground fault and two-phase short-circuit) assumed in a transient stability simulation. Furthermore, the fault condition-voltage distribution database DB1 stores calculation result data on amounts of change in a magnitude and a phase of a voltage of each node during each fault from those before the fault in a case of occurrence of the fault calculated by a fault calculation program. Actions (whether to permit continuation of operation) of the wind power generation 171 and the like during and after a system fault are determined from calculation result information about the voltages during the system fault.
The natural energy database DB2 stores, for example, data on installed nodes, control configurations, control parameters, and FRT characteristics (whether to permit continuation of operation, active power output patterns) of the wind power generation 171 and the like. The actions (whether to permit continuation of operation) of the wind power generation 171 and the like during and after the system fault are determined from these pieces of information as well as the calculation result information about the voltages described above.
The natural energy contraction database DB3 stores data that represents the determination results of the contraction target group region and the contraction target out of the natural energy and the system out of the natural energy and the system. For example, the natural energy contraction database DB3 stores data about the partial systems (nodes, lines, generators, and connection configurations thereof) falling within target ranges of the partial systems Gr. 1 and Gr. 2 depicted in
The system configuration database DB4 stores data about equipment, such as the lines (resistances, reactances, capacitances to ground) and the generators (capacities, transient reactances, and the like), that configures the electric power system. Using this data enables flow calculation and fault computing of the electric power system, so that it is possible to grasp amounts of voltage drop during the system fault.
The system analysis model database DB5 stores the system analysis model data that is a contraction result of the electric power system calculated in accordance with an algorithm of the present invention. This data makes it possible to prepare a system analysis model to be used in the transient stability simulation with respect to each fault condition.
The program database DB6 stores a natural energy contraction program PR1, a system analysis model creation program PR2, and a fault calculation program PR3 that are calculation programs. These programs are read to the computer CPU as needed to enable execution of calculation.
A processing function configuration of the electric power system model creation device 10 according to the present invention will be described with reference to
In
The fault condition setting section 31 is a section that sets a location and an aspect of the system fault condition 180. The fault condition setting section 31 may set the location and the aspect thereof by user's input or may select a system fault as appropriate from patterns prepared in advance.
The natural energy contracted spot determination section 32 creates a system analysis model from information in the natural energy database DB2 and the system configuration database DB4 and passes model data to the fault calculation section 35. The natural energy contracted spot determination section 32 also receives a fault calculation result from the fault calculation section 35, grasps voltage states (amounts of change in magnitude and phase) during the system fault, and stores the voltage states in the fault condition-voltage distribution database DB1. In addition, the natural energy contracted spot determination section 32 checks the voltage state (amounts of change in magnitude and phase) of each wind power generation connection node during the system fault with wind power generator information such as FRT characteristics stored in the natural energy database and corresponding to each wind power generation, and determines whether to permit continuation of operation and output power to be generated during and after the system fault. It is assumed that in a case in which whether to permit continuation of operation coincides within the contraction target partial system, the partial system Gr. is contracted. If the wind power generator different in whether to permit continuation of operation is present within the partial system, the partial system Gr. may be excluded from the contraction target.
The natural energy contraction data creation section 33 determines an analysis system configuration of the partial system Gr. obtained by contacting the partial system Gr. determined to be necessary to contract by the natural energy contracted spot determination section 32 and various parameters. The natural energy contraction data creation section 33 calculates the system configuration in which the partial system Gr. is contracted and the various parameters on the basis of criteria set by a user in advance. For example, the natural energy contraction data creation section 33 may calculate the system configuration on the basis of criteria, for example, that the capacity of each wind power generator is the same as the capacity thereof before contraction, a line impedance is a parallel impedance of each line before contraction, and an FRT characteristics pattern is an average value of those of the wind power generators. Moreover, the natural energy contraction data creation section 33 stores data that represents determination results of the contraction target group region and the contraction target out of the natural energy and the system in the natural energy contraction database DB3.
The system analysis model creation section 34 is a processing function that executes the system analysis model creation program PR2 among the calculation programs stored in the program database DB6. The system analysis model creation section 34 creates the system analysis model data that is the contraction result of the electric power system from the determination results of the contraction target group region and the contraction target out of the natural energy and the system calculated by the natural energy contraction data creation section 33 and the data about the equipment, such as the lines and the generators, that configures the electric power system stored in the system configuration database DB4. Furthermore, the system analysis model creation section 34 stores the system analysis model data in the system analysis model database DB5.
The fault calculation section 35 is a processing function that executes the fault calculation program PR3 among the calculation programs stored in the program database DB6. An electric power system fault calculation is an established calculation technique and can be performed using an ordinary algorithm.
A process flow that illustrates an example of an electric power system contraction system model creation process algorithm with reference to
In process step S2, a natural energy condition is set from the information in the natural energy database DB2 and the system configuration database DB4 to create the system analysis model.
In process step S3, a fault calculation is performed by the fault calculation program PR3.
In process step S4, amounts of change in magnitude and phase of the voltage of each node during the system fault from those before the fault is grasped by a fault calculation result, and the result is stored in the fault condition-voltage distribution database DB1.
In process steps S5 to S9, the voltage state (for example, magnitude) of each wind power generation connection node during the system fault is checked with the wind power generator information such as the FRT characteristics corresponding to each wind power generation and stored in the natural energy database, and it is determined whether to permit continuation of operation during and after the system fault. Specifically, as illustrated in process step S6, if the installed node of the natural energy such as the kth wind power generator falls within a certain voltage range, then a contraction flag Kfk is set to 1 (Kfk=1) and the natural energy is determined as a contraction target.
In process steps S11 to S16, the partial system Gr. that serves as the contraction target is selected from among the partial systems Gr. determined as the contraction targets. Specifically, as illustrated in process step 12, if a generator with Kfi=0 (generator other than the contraction targets) is present in the partial system group, then a flag Nfn of the partial system Gr is set to 1 (Nfn=1), and the partial system group is excluded from the contraction target.
In process step S17, a system analysis model in which the target contraction group is contracted is created.
In this way, the case in which the voltage drop continues 0.3 second or less or the output power recovery pattern after voltage recovery vary depending on the state of the system or that of the generators. Owing to this, in a case of the natural energy power generation connected to the node having a large voltage drop, it is considered that the result closer to actual actions can be obtained by not contracting a plurality of generators but performing a calculation such that whether to permit continuation of operation of each generator can be dynamically determined in the stability simulation.
As described so far, determining the natural energy power generation to be contracted on the basis of the magnitude of each node voltage during a system fault at a certain point makes it possible to produce effects that it is possible to simulate the operation characteristics closer to the operation of the actual natural energy power generation and that the transient stability of the system can be carried out more accurately.
Effectiveness of the proposed technique will next be described with reference to schematic examples in
The present invention can be utilized as a simulation analysis device for analyzing transient stability and synchronization stability of an electric power system in which distributed power supplies, such as natural energy power generation, including power converts are interconnected. The present invention is also utilized as a stabilization measure determination device used online (online system stabilization device). Furthermore, the present invention can be utilized as a system equipment design support system for considering buildup of system equipment to correspond to expansion of the natural energy power generation or the like.
