Abstract:

The reduction in the proportion of synchronous machines in the new power system brings challenges to maintaining the stable operation of the system. Consequently, the constructed-grid energy storage system has received immense attention due to its voltage source external characteristics and good weak-grid stability. Nevertheless, the nature of grid-constructed energy storage is still a power electronic device with multiple control loops and control parameters; thus, the stability of grid-constructed energy storage needs to be considered. Numerous studies have focused on the stability of multi-loop controlled energy storage, while there are fewer studies on the stability of structural network type. This paper examines the main circuit and power ring of grid-constructed energy storage using a virtual synchronous generator (VSG). We analyzed the voltage, current, and virtual impedance loops from the perspective of actual control demand, selected the dq coordinate system, and established the multi-loop small-signal and the equivalent output impedance models. Subsequently, the influence of the control loop parameters on the impedance characteristics of different frequency bands is analyzed, followed by a grid-connected small-signal stability analysis using the impedance method. Finally, these results were confirmed by simulation. The findings indicated that the VSG-type grid-connected energy storage exhibits negative damping characteristics in the low-frequency band (1—10 Hz), with the power loop inducing an elevation in the low-frequency negatively damped resonance frequency. Furthermore, the voltage loop induces negative damping characteristics in the middle-frequency band of the system (10—100 Hz), whereas the current loop induces negative damping characteristics in the high-frequency band of the system (100—10000 Hz). Under a weak grid condition, the reduction in power ring damping and the increase of virtual inertia, along with a decrease in voltage ring proportionality coefficient and an increase in integral coefficient, can induce low-frequency oscillations that may lead to destabilizing the system, while the current ring has a small effect on system stability. With a short circuit ratio (SCR) of 2, introducing the virtual impedance loop enlarges the area of the stabilization region of the power loop control parameter by about 1.67 times and the area of the stabilization region of the voltage loop control parameter by about 4.5 times.
