Harmonic Power-Flow Study of Polyphase Grids with Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources, Part II: Model Library and Validation


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In Part I, a method for the Harmonic Power-Flow (HPF) study of three-phase power grids with Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources (CIDERs) is proposed. The method is based on generic and modular representations of the grid and the CIDERs, and explicitly accounts for coupling between harmonics. In Part II, the HPF method is validated. First, the applicability of the modeling framework is demonstrated on typical grid-forming and grid-following CIDERs. Then, the HPF method is implemented in Matlab and compared against time-domain simulations with Simulink. The accuracy of the models and the performance of the solution algorithm are assessed for individual resources and a modified version of the CIGRE low-voltage benchmark microgrid (i.e., with additional unbalanced components). The observed maximum errors are 6.3E-5 p.u. w.r.t. voltage magnitude, 1.3E-3 p.u. w.r.t. current magnitude, and 0.9 deg w.r.t. phase. Moreover, the scalability of the method is assessed w.r.t. the number of CIDERs and the maximum harmonic order ($leqslant$25). For the maximum problem size, the execution time of the HPF method is 6.52 sec, which is 5 times faster than the time-domain simulation. The convergence of the method is robust w.r.t. the choice of the initial point, and multiplicity of solutions has not been observed.
