Two-Stage Grid-Connected Frequency Regulation Control Strategy Based on Photovoltaic Power Prediction

Abstract

The large number of photovoltaics connected to the distribution network via power electronic converters squeezes the functional space of traditional synchronous generators in the power system and reduces the inertia of the network itself. However, due to the random and fluctuating nature of PV power generation, different types of meteorological conditions can also affect the inertia support capability of PV output power. Therefore, this paper proposes a frequency regulation control strategy based on the dynamic characteristics of the grid-side DC capacitor. Firstly, the control strategy of the grid-side inverter is improved and the mechanism of the frequency dynamic response model under PV penetration is analysed. Secondly, data from different weather types are correlated and analysed to predict PV power, and wireless sensor technology is used to introduce the data signals into the control link. Finally, a simulation model of a two-stage PV power generation system is developed and the fast-response capability of the system under different control parameters when the load is increased or decreased is analysed. The results show that under the proposed frequency regulation strategy, the larger the regulation coefficient and virtual inertia time constant, the greater the virtual inertia provided by the PV power generation, which improves the stability of the distribution network.

A Novel Fractional-Order Active Disturbance Rejection Load Frequency Control Based on An Improved Marine Predator Algorithm

“…LFC is an essential mechanism used in power systems to maintain the balance between the power supply and demand, by adjusting the power output of generators in response to load changes [31]. The objective of LFC is to ensure that the frequency of the power system remains stable within a specified range, in the face of load disturbances.…”

PEMFC Current Control Using a Novel Compound Controller Enhanced by the Black Widow Algorithm: A Comprehensive Simulation Study

“…It also offers superior fuel (hydrogen) economy, durability, and reliability compared to other power sources such as internal combustion engines and batteries [10]. However, renewable and sustainable energy sources, such as photovoltaic systems and fuel cells, necessitate a power conditioning system [11]. This is because the voltage produced by PEMFC is inherently low and must be elevated to a higher voltage level for various applications [12].…”
