摘要: 【目的】新能源出力大幅波动,易导致接入点无功双向反复波动,影响接入电网的电压稳定。电网调度为确保接入电网的电压稳定,常限制新能源出力(即压负荷),导致新能源厂站的经济效益受损。为此,提出了一种抽蓄调相对新能源接入电网电压稳定的方法。【方法】首先,对抽水蓄能机组调相运行的可行性进行阐述,得到了抽蓄调相工况可以用于动态无功调节的结论;其次,根据风电场送出线模型,得到线路首末端功率方程,从而推导出线路两端电压-功率关系,并根据两端两端电压恒定时并网点及接入点功率曲线,从理论上分析了新能源出力过大时,送出线无功倒送、接入点电压过低及网侧电压失稳的原因;最后,对电网无功补偿方向进行分析,结合抽水蓄能调相工况,提出了用抽水蓄能补偿送出线无功的方法。【结果】该方法在维持电网电压稳定的同时有效提升了新能源厂站的经济效益。【结论】算例验证了采取抽蓄调相补偿无功的方法相当于增加了网侧的无功容量,研究成果对提高新能源出力及电网电压安全运行具有理论和实际意义。

Abstract: [Objectives] Large fluctuations in renewable energy output can easily lead to bidirectional and repeated reactive power oscillations at the access points, affecting the voltage stability of the connected grid. To ensure voltage stability, grid scheduling often restricts the output of renewable energy sources (i.e., curtailment), resulting in reduced economic benefits for renewable power plants. For this reason, a method using phase regulation of pumped storage for the voltage stability of power grids with renewable energy integration is proposed. [Methods] First, the feasibility of pumped storage units operating in phase regulation mode is analyzed, and it is concluded that this condition can be utilized for dynamic reactive power regulation. Second, based on the sending line model of wind farms, the power equations at the sending and receiving ends of transmission lines are obtained, from which the voltage-power relationship at both ends is derived. By analyzing the power curves at the grid connection points and the access points under conditions of constant voltages at both ends, the causes of reverse reactive power flow on the sending line, low voltage at the access points, and grid-side voltage instability are theoretically analyzed when renewable energy output is excessive. Finally, the direction of reactive power compensation in the power grid is analyzed, and combined with the phase regulation condition of pumped storage, a method utilizing phase regulation of pumped storage to compensate for the reactive power on the sending line is proposed. [Results] This method effectively improves the economic benefits of renewable energy power plants while maintaining the voltage stability of the power grid. [Conclusions] Case studies validate that the method of using phase regulation of pumped storage to compensate reactive power is equivalent to increasing the reactive power capacity on the grid side. The research findings hold both theoretical and practical implications for enhancing renewable energy output and ensuring safe voltage operation of the power grid.
