A Comprehensive Stability Assessment System for EV DC Charging Station Based on Multitimescale Impedance Model

Abstract

The existing all-in-one impedance-based stability analysis only qualitatively reveal the instability factors by the graphic Nyquist criterion while the stability margin is not considered. In this article, a design-oriented multiattribute and multidimensional based comprehensive assessment system (MAMD-CAS) is proposed to evaluate the stability quantitatively and guide the parameter design as well as ensure the desired dynamic response and stability margin. This MAMD-CAS mainly includes the loop-gain-based multi-timescale impedance estimation to analyze the low-frequency oscillation (LFO), phase margin (PM) calculation of different timescales and dynamic performance indicators as the time-domain quantitative expression of impedance estimation. In detail, the multi-timescale impedance model is established and its loop-gain representation is deduced to implement the impedance estimation. Combined with the known PM, the influence of the parameters on dynamic performance and stability margin can be comprehensively evaluated, then the conflict between dynamic performance and stability margin is explored. It is found that the voltage-loop parameters do not have the coupling problem between dynamic performance and stability margin while <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">J</i> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">vir</sub> and <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">k</i> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">svr</sub> present a conflicting effect between the inertia-loop LFO dynamic performance and stability margin and their interaction affects the severity of inertia-loop LFO. The appropriate control parameters can be thus selected for a good stability margin while suppressing the impedance peak. This MAMD-CAS analysis result is verified by simulation and experiment and this assessment system provides theoretical fundamental for the online stability monitor of multi-timescale power electronics system.
