Abstract:
Provided are a micro-grid dynamic stability control system and a micro-grid dynamic stability control method. The system includes: a micro-grid dynamic stability control device (127), configured to acquire a real-time voltage and a real-time current of a bus and calculate a power factor based on the real-time voltage and the real-time current; a central control device (101), configured to receive the power factor and transmit a reactive power control instruction in a case that the power factor is lower than a predefined threshold; and at least one local control device, configured to receive the reactive power control instruction and transmit a control signal to the micro-grid dynamic stability control device and at least one distributed power supply controlled by the at least one local control device. The micro-grid dynamic stability control device, in response to the control signal, compensates the voltage of the bus by means of droop control, and the at least one distributed power supply, in response to the control signal, outputs a reactive power to the bus to increase the power factor of the bus.

Abstract:
A series injection device includes a power splitter coupled to two or more lines of an AC power system. The power splitter includes a coupling transformer for each phase of a single phase or polyphase AC circuit that includes the two or more lines. Each of the coupling transformers couples one of the phases of the two or more lines. The power splitter is configured to inject a first voltage of a first polarity into one or more of the two or more lines and inject a second voltage of a second polarity opposite the first polarity into at least one of the two or more lines via the same coupling transformers used to inject the first voltage. The first and the second voltages are controllable, and may or may not be independently variable.
Abstract:
Verfahren sowie Windpark zum Regeln einer Blindleistungsabgabe des Windparks. Die Blindleistungsabgabe des Windparks wird vom Parkmaster (5) anhand eines Vorgaberegimes (56) geregelt. Erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen ist bei einem Betrieb des Windparks unter Normal-Netzbedingungen: Ermitteln eines tatsächlichen Blindleistungsstellvermögens, Prüfen ob dieses über einem einstellbaren Schwellwert liegt, wenn dies der Fall ist, dann Abgeben von Blindleistung entsprechend dem Vorgaberegime (56), wenn dies nicht der Fall ist, dann Umschalten in ein Ersatzregime (57), wobei das Ersatzregime (57) sich hinsichtlich der Blindleistungsabgabe von dem Vorgaberegime (56) unterscheidet. Damit kann auf Parkebene in Abhängigkeit von dem verfügbaren Blindleistungsstellvermögen auf ein alternatives (schonenderes) Regime umgeschaltet werden. Damit kann eine Überlastung der verbliebenen (aktiven) Windenergieanlagen (1) wirksam vermieden werden. Das macht den Windpark robuster. Es kann sogar eine Regelreserve erhalten bleiben, sodass bei weiteren Spannungsabweichungen noch zusätzliche Blindleistung abgegeben werden kann. Die Netzstabilität verbessert sich damit.

The AFLC impedance is connected in series with the PFC capacitors, and is sufficiently large to offer significant impedance in series with the PFC capacitors that allows the AFLC signal to bypass the PFC unit.
