Abstract
AbstractAs the grid‐connected interface device of wind and photovoltaic power generation, the voltage source converter (VSC) must pass the low voltage ride‐through (LVRT) test. However, existing literature demonstrates that under weak grid conditions, there is a possibility of severe fluctuations in the terminal voltage of VSC during transiting from the pre‐sag normal operation mode to the LVRT mode. Unfortunately, it will make VSC frequently enter and exit LVRT mode. In order to address the tricky problem of transient instability of VSC riding‐through severe grid voltage sag under the weak grid, in this paper, the full‐order large‐signal model of VSC is established first. Then, based on the established model, the analysis indicates VSC will face the risk of losing stability under the weak grid during LVRT due to current transients. By studying the impacts of low short circuit ratio (SCR) on the basin of attraction of the post‐sag equilibrium point, the intrinsic mechanism of VSC losing stability under weak grid conditions is revealed. Moreover, considering that the transient stability is related to the current control, the stability‐enhanced LVRT control ensuring both small‐signal stability and transient stability of VSC during LVRT is proposed. Finally, the correctness of the above theoretical analysis is verified by real‐time simulation
