Optimized operational approach for multi-type reactive power compensation to enhance the grid integration strength of new energy clusters
Abstract
The insufficient system strength in the high-proportion new energy access area has gradually emerged as a crucial factor contributing to the transient overvoltage issue. Therefore, it is imperative to propose a reactive power optimization operation mode that takes into consideration both the power grid strength and system operating voltage of the new energy cluster system. Firstly, the relationship between the evaluation index of power grid strength and the performance of system voltage response is elucidated, while analyzing the influence mechanism of various reactive power compensation devices on the power grid strength of new energy cluster systems. Then, a reactive power operation optimization model is proposed to maximize the strength of the system grid and minimize the voltage deviation. To solve this problem, a hybrid approach combining genetic algorithm and CPLEX solver is employed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through a typical simulation example.
