Abstract:

With the increasing proportion of new energy in the power grid, photovoltaic microgrids equipped with large-capacity distributed energy storage have the potential to support the black start of thermal power plants. To address this issue of frequent fluctuation in the active power of the microgrid during the black-start period, and the risk of exceeding the state of charge (SOC) limits of the distributed energy storage, which could lead to the failure of the black-start, a coordinated control strategy for the optical storage microgrid black-start is proposed considering the SOC balance of the distributed energy storage. Based on the SOC of the distributed energy storage unit, the proposed strategy combines the load tracking control of the photovoltaic system and the maximum power tracking (MPPT) control, which ensures that the photovoltaic output effectively tracks the microgrid load to prevent the SOC from exceeding its limit. When the photovoltaic output becomes unbalanced with the black-start load, the distributed energy storage system is used to smooth the active power difference of the system. Furtherfore, the droop control for the traditional energy storage units is improved to ensure the active power distribution based on the energy storage SOC, enabling the SOC balance among energy storage units. Through secondary control of the energy storage units based on distributed consensus protocol, the strategy ensures frequency stability in the active power fluctuation during the black start process. The simulation results verify the feasibility of black start and the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
