Abstract

With the increasing proportion of grid-connected capacity of new energy units, such as wind power and photovoltaics, accurately constructing simulation models of these units is of great significance to the study of new power systems. However, the actual control strategies and parameters of many new energy units are often unavailable due to factors like outdated equipment or commercial confidentiality. This unavailability creates modeling challenges that compromise accuracy, ultimately affecting grid-connected power generation performance. Aiming at the problem of accurate modeling of fault ride-through control of new energy turbine “black box” controllers, this paper proposes an accurate identification method of fault ride-through control characteristics of doubly fed wind turbines based on hardware-in-the-loop testing. Firstly, according to the domestic and international new energy turbine fault ride-through standards, the fault ride-through segmentation control characteristics are summarized, and a general structured model for fault ride-through segmentation control of doubly fed wind turbines is constructed; Secondly, based on the measured hardware-in-the-loop data of the doubly fed wind turbine black box controller, the method of data segmentation preprocessing and structured model identification of the doubly fed wind turbine is proposed by utilizing statistical modal features and genetic Newton’s algorithm, and a set of generalized software simulation platforms for parameter identification is developed by combining Matlab and BPA; lastly, using the measured data of the doubly fed wind turbine in the black box and the software platform, the validity and accuracy of the proposed parameter identification method and software are tested in the simulation. Finally, the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed parameter identification method and software are simulated and tested by using the measured data of black box doubly fed wind turbine and the software platform. The results show that the method proposed in this paper has higher recognition accuracy and stronger robustness, and the recognition error is reduced by 2.89% compared with the traditional method, which is of high value for engineering applications.
