BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method and system for suppressing a voltage fluctuation in a power system.
The voltage maintenance of an electric power system is very important from the standpoint of the supply of an electric power. In order to suppress the voltage fluctuation, it is necessary to adjust a reactive power constituting the greatest factor of a voltage fluctuation. For such fluctuation, a state condenser, shunt reactor and/or static Var compensator (SVC) are applied to a power system.
FIG. 1
is a diagram showing a structure in which the SVC is applied to a conventional power system. In
FIG. 1
, a power system
1
includes a power source
11
, transmission lines
12
,
13
and substation bus
2
and the SVC is applied to the power system
1
.
This SVC comprises a voltage transformer
3
connected to the power system
1
, controller
4
for allowing the inputting of a bus voltage detected by the voltage transformer
3
, thyristor controlled reactor (TCR)
6
connected to the power system
1
through a down voltage transformer
5
and adapted to be controlled by a control value from the controller
4
, and state condenser
7
connected to the power system
1
through the down voltage transformer
7
.
The thyristor controlled reactor (TCR)
6
comprises a rector
61
and thyristors
62
and
63
connected cathode-to-anode and the state condenser
7
comprises a switch
71
and capacitor
72
. The controller
4
comprises a voltage detection circuit
41
, voltage reference circuit
42
, adder
43
, transfer function circuit
44
, Q-&agr; function generation circuit
45
and turn-on pulse generation circuit.
The operation summary of the SVC in
FIG. 1
is as follows: That is, the phase control of the thyristors
62
,
63
in the thyristor controlled reactor (TCR)
6
and ON-OFF control of the switch
71
in the state condenser
7
are so performed by the controller
4
as to supply a leading phase reactive power when, in the case where a voltage on the bus of the power system
1
is detected by the voltage transformer
3
in
FIG. 1
, the voltage on the bus is lowered and to supply a lagging phase reactive power when the voltage on the bus is raised.
Stated in more detail about the operation of the SVC, the output of the voltage transformer
3
is converted by the power detection circuit
41
to an effective value or root-mean-square value and the output of the power detection circuit is compared by the adder
43
with the output of the voltage reference circuit
42
and a deviation is input to the transfer function circuit
44
. The transfer function circuit
44
is comprised of, for example, a proportional plus integral circuit and determines a reactive power operation amount of the SVC so as to allow the deviation of the input to become zero or as small as possible, that is, to allow the voltage on the bus
2
to coincide with a set value of the voltage reference circuit
42
.
The output of the transfer function circuit
44
is supplied to the Q-&agr; function generation circuit
45
to allow a conversion to a phase control angle of the thyristors
62
,
63
in the thyristor controlled reactor (TCR)
6
and allows the turn-on pulse generation circuit
46
to supply a gate pulse. At the thyristor controlled reactor (TCR)
6
, the output reactive power can be continuously adjusted, by the phase of the gate pulse, in a range from zero to a capacity of the reactor
61
and, through the utilization of a voltage-reactive power characteristic on the power system
1
side, eventually the voltage on the bus
2
is adjusted.
Further, in the case where the value of the phase control angle suffers such a larger voltage fluctuation as to reach an upper limit value or lower limit value, the switch
71
of the state condenser
7
is turned ON or OFF to allow a reactive power supply amount to greatly vary. This, together with the thyristor controlled reactor (TCR), provides a broader controllable range.
The response characteristic of this SVC is determined by the transfer function circuit
44
and its control constant is determined by the structure and short-circuiting capacity of the power system
1
, capacity of the thyristor controlled reactor (TCR)
6
, and target response speed.
However, the structure of the power system
1
varies due to various factors, such as a power system fault, inspection servicing, and start and stop of a generator constituting a power source.
When the control constant of the transfer function circuit
44
is determined with due consideration paid to a high speed response, then there are sometimes the cases where the response becomes unstable if a short-circuiting capacity of the bus
2
becomes smaller, such as in the case where the transmission line
12
in
FIG. 1
, for example, is separated due to the power system fault.
When, on the other hand, the control constant of the transfer function circuit
44
is determined with due consideration paid to the stability, then there occurs an inconvenience that the response speed at a usual time is slowed.
Further, in the case where a short-circuiting capacity on the power system
1
side is greater, even if a generation amount of the reactive power is adjusted by a pulse control of the thyristor controlled reactor (TCR)
6
, then a reactive power operation amount is eventually greater because a fluctuation of the voltage on the bus
2
is smaller. And there is an inconvenience that the value of the phase control angle is liable to reach an upper limit value or a lower limit value.
