CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to and benefits of Chinese Patent Application No. 201410436862.9, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of P. R. China on Aug. 29, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a field of a simulation for a wind farm common coupling region in a power system, and more particularly relates to a simulation method for a wind farm common coupling region and a simulation apparatus for a wind farm common coupling region.

BACKGROUND

In recent years, there are many accidents of multiple wind farms cascading trip-off due to the voltage induction happened in the wind farm common coupling region, thus, the temporal quasi-steady simulation of the power grid in the wind farm common coupling region is considered to be an effective method of analyzing the safety state of the voltage in the power system and preventing the accident from diffusing.

Unlike the conventional fire and water farm common coupling region, the wind farm common coupling region may include sub-networks of various wind farms, such that besides a flow calculation of the main network, flow calculations of the sub-networks and calculations of changes on related physical quantities of devices in the various wind farms are required to be performed. And the calculation results of the main network, the sub-networks of the various wind farms and devices in the various wind farms are matched with each other.

However, in the conventional temporal simulation system, a centralized model of whole network is often established, in which various kinds of devices have transient models. Since the model of the main network and the models of the sub-networks in the wind farm common coupling region are separated and heavy burdens may be brought to a computer due to the transient simulation calculations for a large number of wind turbines in the various wind farms, the conventional temporal simulation methods are not suitable for performing a simulation calculations on the wind farm common coupling regions for a long time.
