MV Grid Identification (Impedance and Voltage-sensitivity)

Chair of Power Electronics | Prof. Marco Liserre | ml@tf.uni-kiel.de slide 3

Background (Impedance)

Increase of nonlinear loads and power converters leads to the deterioration of the utility grid

Resonance problem arises due to the increased number of filters and length of cables

Grid impedance is the key factor for the grid stabilization.

Chair of Power Electronics | Prof. Marco Liserre | ml@tf.uni-kiel.de slide 4

Background (Voltage sensitivity)

The Voltage sensitivity describe how a network react to a change in the injected power and viceversa how a variation of voltage change the power absorbed/injected by a grid

The knowledge of voltage sensitivity can help in controlling the grid but also in assessing how much reactive power is needed in case of a grid fault

Sensitivities calculation methods require high computational effort and/or large field measurements/data history

Impedance-based stability analysis

The grid impedance measurement is important for stability

problem. The VSC-grid system is stable if the Nyquist plots of

the loop gain:

g oL(s) = Z (s)Y (s)

does not encircle the critical point (-1, j).

Re-shaping of the output virtual admittance

Yo on the bases of the estimated Zg in order

to guarantee the stability in case of grid

variations.

LV Grid Impedance Identification

• By using time-domain data, the transfer function of impedance can be obtained by vector fitting method;

• The main idea is to use a rational function to approximate poles {am};

N is the approximation order,

d and e are optional for the rational functionAn example of measured & estimated grid impedance

in LV German grid

Chair of Power Electronics | Prof. Marco Liserre | ml@tf.uni-kiel.de slide 10

Case of study: Public LV grid Northern Germany

Magnitude and Phase angle of grid impedance versus time and frequency measured in public LV grid northern Germany.

• Night: resonance at 1.8 kHz with a magnitude |Zg|= 1.3Ω

• Day: the magnitude at 1.8 kHz is |Zg|=0.5Ω due to the changing operation of loads and generators by the grid customers.

• The grid impedance angle ψg is about 20° at 50 Hz, grid is predominant resistive at 50 Hz

• The measurements show that the grid impedance phase angle is temporarily capacitive in afrequency range between 1.6kHz and 4.8kHz.

impedances," 2015 IEEE 6th International Symposium on PEDG, Aachen

Adaptive Active Damping

Current sensors on the grid side

• LCL-filter effectiveness changes with the grid stiffness

• If the grid impedance Zg is time variant, it influences the resonance frequency of the LCL filter

• The tuning of the active damping parameters can be online adapted as a tradeoff between robustness and resonance damping

• E.s. Notch filter is tuned at the resonance frequency.

The load can be represented with an exponential model for the voltage and with a linear dependency from the frequency

• Independent of initial voltage and does not require initialization

• Only one parameter is needed for active and one for reactive power.

• The exponent is equal to load sensitivity to voltage.

Voltage Sensitivity Identification

Chair of Power Electronics | Prof. Marco Liserre | ml@tf.uni-kiel.de slide 33

𝑃0 = 𝑃𝐿 − 𝑃𝐺 > 0 (7)

Let us suppose that the DG works at unity power factor and that the following assumption holds:

Where P0 is the net power, PL is the passive load power and PG is the DG power.The passive load has a normalized sensitivity equal to:

𝐾𝑝 =Τ∆𝑃𝐿 𝑃𝐿Τ∆𝑉 𝑉0

∆𝑃=∆𝑃𝐿 = 𝐾𝑝,𝐿 Τ∆𝑉 𝑉0 𝑃𝐿

Considering that the DG power output is invariant to the voltage, the previous equation becomes:

Voltage Sensitivity Identification: Influence of DG on the identification

Chair of Power Electronics | Prof. Marco Liserre | ml@tf.uni-kiel.de slide 34

Integrating eq. (9) in eq. (4) we obtain:

𝐾𝑝 =Τ∆𝑃 𝑃0Τ∆𝑉 𝑉0

= 𝐾𝑝,𝐿𝑃𝐿

𝑃𝐿 − 𝑃𝐺(10)

The net load reacts in different way depending on the presence of DG.

Example:

𝐾𝑝 = 11

1 − 0= 1

𝑃𝐿 = 1, 𝑃𝐺 = 0 → 𝑃0 = 1𝐾𝑝,𝐿 = 1

𝑃𝐿 = 1.5, 𝑃𝐺 = 0.5 → 𝑃0 = 1𝐾𝑝,𝐿 = 1

𝐾𝑝 = 11.5

Impedance Identification through mono-Frequency Current Injection in MV grid is analyzed:

- the effects of the discretization in the accuracy of current control

- the effects of computation/PWM delay compensation in the stability of current control.

Voltage sensitivity can be used by influencing load consumption and in defining the power to be injected into the grid for supporting the voltage and the primary frequency
