Distributed Power Flow Method Based on Ward Equivalent

With interconnecting and developing of power system, the problem of power flow computation on dispersed data resource need to be solved. A new distributed computation method of power flow based on Ward equivalent is presented. According to master-slaver splitting principle, multi-area interconnected power system is divided into master-slaver areas. Boundary buses in different areas are defined as different bus-types. Neighborhood areas are equivalent by Ward equivalent principle, and the equivalent injection power and equivalent impedance are worked out. Power flows from master area to slaver areas are solved by Newton method, and the equivalent injection power and equivalent impedance on the boundary are modified by their solutions. The process above repeats until to convergence. The proposed distributed power flow method takes full advantage of the information of power, voltage, network configuration in neighborhood areas, so it is better on convergence and quality of solution. The proposed algorithm is testified by IEEE 14-bus system and a practical 181-bus system.

Analysis of Loosely Coupled Inductive Power Transfer System

In LCIPT system, the selection of system operation frequency has a relationshi Pwith the cost and power transfer capability of the power supply. Due to the development of Power device and system efficiency requirement , it is restricted to increase the system operation frequency . This paper presentes a topology which transfers power through LC oscillation. When the voltage of the capacitor is less than reference voltage, the switch is turned off and the capacitor is charged, which makes the switching frequency far less than the syntonic frequency. Thus the system efficiency is improved, and the system cost is reduced. This is verified by the time domain and frequency domain simulations of Saber. This topology not only can be used in LCIPT, but also in other convertors.

Modeling and control of An LCL bi-directional inductive power transfer system

Since there exist high-frequency switching networks and complicated operating modes in bi-directional inductive power transfer (IPT) system, it is easy to result in high harmonics and EMI interference. An LCL filter network is introduced to effectively filter out the unwanted harmonics in track current and reduce EMI interference. Based on a mathematical model of the power transmission established by complex analysis of the AC variables, under the condition of maximum transmission efficiency, the phase angle differences between the primary input voltage and secondary output voltage U·so are ±90° and the energy is respectively transferred in forward or backward direction. Moreover, the power magnitude can be controlled by adjusting the modulus of U·pi and U·so. In addition, to keep the track current constant, different phase-shifting control strategies are designed in the primary and secondary parts. Simulation and experimental results show that these strategies can not only adjust track current to keep constant but also dynamically change the direction and magnitude of power transmission according to the working conditions and actual needs of the system load to improve the system operating efficiency.

This paper proposes a control scheme for a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind farm with VSC-HVDC grid integration to ensure secure and reliable operation of power system with fluctuated wind power penetration. The whole system dynamic models are respectively described. Based on vector control system with a virtual voltage orientation, a steady-state voltage control block and a dynamic voltage control block with a cross-product term of d-q currents are separately designed for WFVSC to control the corresponding parts of the wind farm voltage.

The combination of the two schemes makes up the new control design of this study. Besides, to verify the performance of the proposed new control design, three different cases are suggested which contain the AC and DC side parameter variation and external disturbance such as local load cut off-in, grid voltage harmonics. Finally, numerical simulations using MATLAB/Simulink are presented for a 200MW DFIG wind farm with VSC-HVDC grid integration to validate the proposed control scheme and demonstrate the improved system operation performance.

Modelling and Analysis of Multi-terminal Unified Power Flow Controller

To control the complex powers emanating from a bus in power system, there are two solutions. The obvious solution is to equip each of the n lines radiating from the node with its own UPFC. The next evolution of the idea is to equip with a multi-terminal UPFC. First, the configuration and the principle of the Two-terminal UPFC (when n=2) are presented. In consideration of the existing shortages of output model-constructing method and topological model-constructing method for T-UPFC, a switching function mathematical model of this device is constructed by introducing the concept of switching function. It has more generality than the output and the topological model with the consideration of the internal switching character and the physical course of the T-UPFC.
