    RELATED ORDER DATA
    [001] This claim claims priority benefit from Serial Order No. 61 / 422,451, filed on December 13, 2010, and entitled "Method And System For Controlling A Power Converter During Voltage Faults And Surges", and of US Interim Order No. 61 / 425,510, filed on December 21, 2010, and entitled "Inverter Control For Fast Voltage Mitigation And Zero Voltage Ride-Through", both of which are incorporated into this document as a reference in its entirety. APPLICATION FIELD
    [002] The present invention relates, in general, to the field of power electronics. In particular, the present invention is directed to methods, systems and software for controlling a power converter during low voltage (zero) sink conditions. TECHNICAL STATUS
    [003] Occasionally, a disturbance occurs in a utility system, or other power network, which results in a significant voltage drop over a short duration (typically less than 500 ms). Such a disturbance is usually caused by a failure somewhere in the transmission or distribution system. Faults can be caused, for example, by a single phase conductor that is inadvertently connected to the ground or an inadvertent connection or shorting of multiple phase conductors. These types of failures commonly occur due to equipment failure, bad weather, a vehicle accident, etc. A significant reduction in voltage, sometimes referred to as a drop, can also occur when a large electrical load is energized, such as a large motor, or when a large power plant is suddenly disconnected. Minor faults, sometimes referred to as "decreases", can also occur as a result of other events, such as switching capacitors. In any event, whether the fault is large or small, the fault precipitates low voltage or zero voltage conditions at various points in the power grid.
    [004] The management of how a power source that supplies power to the power grid reacts to low voltage or zero voltage events is an important consideration for power source operators. Figure 1 is an exemplary plot 10 of the voltage level over time through the AC terminals of a power source, such as a wind power unit, connected to a utility board for an exemplary voltage disturbance caused by a failure . In this example, the fault occurs in approximately time 14, here at t = 0.00 seconds, at some electrical distance from the power source, and with the voltage starting to recover at time 18, here at t ~ 0.30 seconds . In general, and as shown in Figure 1, failures generally cause a square-shaped decrease or drop 20 in the stress level between the pre-failure stress level 24 and the stress level during recovery 28. It is noted that seen than a utility switchboard and a complex impedance network of transmission lines and generators, the current voltage after failure tends to exceed and revolve around the switchboard operating voltage, as illustrated by recovery 28. Elements versed in technicians will appreciate that the depth of the voltage drop or drop 20 is generally related to the distance, electrically speaking, between the power source and the fault locations. Closer faults cause deeper decreases and falls.
    [005] For smaller power sources, such as individual wind power units and small wind farms, domestic solar systems, diesel generators, etc., it was acceptable and desirable (to the owners of the smallest power sources) that the power source be offline when a voltage reduction of a certain magnitude and a certain duration occurs. Generally, this operational construct was acceptable since the total amount of power supplied by the smallest power sources was relatively small compared to the total amount of power supplied by other power sources in the power network, such as power plants. burning coal, nuclear power plants, etc. Due to this relatively small power production capacity, the fact of being out of line had little, if any, impact on the ability to recover the power grid after the failure occurred.
    [006] As the amount of power coming from these smaller power sources in power grids has been increasing, the maintenance of its input during, and especially after, a failure or outbreak becomes increasingly important since the repercussions associated with a failure can be exacerbated by a significant amount of power generation capacity that works offline in response to failure. Problems such as frequency fluctuations or large instabilities in a large system of power generation systems can lead to power interruption in large regions, affecting large numbers of power consumers. Accordingly, utility operators (and regulators, see, for example, Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC) Order 661-A (issued December 12, 2005)) are beginning to demand that power sources in their networks of power keep the conditions of being in line and of "sinking" of low voltage and zero voltage - requirements traditionally applied to common utility power sources, such as fossil fuel power plants. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    [007] In a deployment, the present disclosure is directed to a method to control the AC output of a power converter connected to an AC power network subjected to a voltage failure that causes a grid voltage in the power network AC voltage to drop below a normal operating level during a failure period. The method includes estimating the phase angle of the anticipated voltage that must be present in the AC power grid when the grid voltage recovers from the voltage failure; and controlling an AC output current during the voltage failure as a function of the estimated phase angle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
    [0012] Referring now to Figure 2, that figure illustrates an exemplary alternating current (AC) 200 power system that includes a wind power unit (WPU) 204 that distributes electricity to a 208 power grid, which is also power supplied by one or more additional power sources, such as the coal-fired power plant 212. A power converter 216 is coupled between WPU 204 and power network 208 to control electrical characteristics of the power distributed by the WPU to the network and which and finally distributed to end users, for example, consumers of public services, collectively represented in Figure 2 by element 220. As described below in detail, power converter 216 provides sinking capabilities for WPU 204 during certain events that result in low voltage and / or zero voltage in the 208 power network. In other words, the 216 power converter is designed and configured to allow the WPU 204 to be maintained with connected, and continue to supply power, to the 208 power grid during such events. In this way, the 216 power converter can provide support and stability to the AC 200 power system by assisting in stabilizing the voltage in the power grid 208 during lower voltage drops and improving grid recovery after major failures.
    [0013] Although the present disclosure focuses on WPUS, it will be readily apparent to elements skilled in the art that certain embodiments of the present invention are applied to virtually any device using a four-quadrant power converter system. Thus, for example, aspects of the present invention can be applied to power generators such as, but not limited to, WPUs, solar power generators, fuel cells, microturbines, or flow batteries; energy storage systems such as, but not limited to, batteries, ultracapacitors, superconducting energy storage, or flywheels; and loads, such as, but not limited to, electronic ballast lighting systems, motor starters, etc. The AC 200 power system can be, for example, a conventional utility board or an isolated power grid. The 216 power converter works for both single- and multi-phase systems. In power networks that contain groups of WPUS or other power generators, the power output of a plurality of generators may have their power output controlled by a single inverter control system configured as described in this document.
    [0014] Before describing an exemplary modality of the 216 power converter, for contextual reasons, Figure 3 shows some of the mechanical and electrical components of a particular modality of WPU 204. In this modality, WPU 204 includes a 300 wind turbine that turns in response to the wind. The wind turbine 300 is coupled to a generator 304, which converts the rotational energy, the wind turbine into electrical energy in the form of AC. Rectifier 308 converts the AC power produced by generator 304 into direct current (DC), which is then further conditioned by the DC power converter 216 for AC power to a frequency and phase angle suitable for transmission on the grid. 208 power (Figure 2). The power converter 216 is coupled to a transformer 312, which modifies the converter output 316 (that is, voltage produced by WPU 204) to the utility voltage 208.
    [0015] The power converter 216 includes integrated circuits of converter 320 and a control system 324 and can regulate currents supplied to the power network 208 by following a set of reference currents generated by the control system. The 216 power converter is typically a current regulated power inverter. The converter integrated circuits 320 are electronically coupled and controlled by the control system 324 (an example of which is shown in detail in Figure 4) using a command signal 328, which is a control signal based on the phase of the power grid voltage 208 (Figure 2). The control system 324 is configured to essentially provide an estimate of the phase angle of the current at the time of recovery from a failure, for example, time 16 in Figure 1. As exemplified below, such an estimate can be achieved by providing a phase tracking system that responds so slowly to changes in voltage in the power grid 208 at all times of the operation that it continues at about the same speed (frequency) during the failure, is generally not affected by the voltage disturbance. Such an estimate can alternatively be provided essentially by freezing the command signal value 328 to the value that exists when a voltage drop indicative of a sinking event occurring in power grid 208 (Figure 2) is experienced. Each of these alternatives is described in more detail below, primarily in the context of the control system 324 which uses a closed loop circuit (PLL) in its control scheme. Elements skilled in the art, however, will appreciate that the functionality provided by a PLL (either on the basis of hardware or software) can be provided by other means, such as a delay synchronism circuit.
    [0016] Now back to Figure 4, this figure illustrates exemplary components of a control system deployment 324 of Figure 3. At a high level, the control system 324 includes a controller 400 and a phase tracker 404. The controller 400 receives various input signals which include, but are not limited to, a mains voltage signal 408 and a current signal 412 representative of the voltage and current at the output terminals of WPU 204 or converter 216, respectively. Controller 400 also receives a real current command 416 and a reactive control command 420 from system level controls (not shown), as elements skilled in the art will appreciate. Controller 400 additionally receives a controller phase reference signal 424 from phase tracker 404 which is used in an algorithm, together with the previously mentioned signals and commands, to instruct converter integrated circuits 320 for the appropriate phase and frequency of the output current sent to the public service board 208.
    [0017] Typically, controller 400 deploys control code to a digital processor or other digital device; however, elements skilled in the art will recognize that the controller can alternatively be deployed in order to use analog integrated circuits. In an alternative embodiment, controller 400 may be the controller described in U.S. Patent No. 6,693,409 by Lynch et al. entitled "Control System For a Power Converter and Method of Controlling Operation of a Power Converter" or the controller described in U.S. Patent No. 7,492,617 by Petter et al. entitled "Frequency Control and Power Balancing in Disturbed Power Inverter System and Method Thereof", which are incorporated into this document as a reference for your disclosure of inverter systems and methods that can be used with the features disclosed in this disclosure.
    [0018] In one embodiment, the control system 324 is designed to respond so slowly to changes in the frequency of the power grid voltage 208 at all times during the operation that it is not greatly affected by a voltage drop or decrease . In the context of Figure 4, the phase tracker 404 can be designed to be slow at all times of its operation, that is, not only during low voltage (zero) sink events, but also when tracking the voltage frequency when the mains voltage is at its normal level. In the following examples, "rated frequency tracking time constant" is defined as the time constant of the 404 tracker when the line voltage is rated. It is noted that this time constant falls proportionally with the frame voltage during a low voltage event.
    [0019] In one example, the present inventor has empirically revealed that an appropriate definition of "slow" in relation to tracing the frequency of the mains voltage is that the phase tracker response time, that is, the tracking time constant rated frequency, it should be about 1/4 to about 2 times the maximum sink failure period. In this example, the maximum sink failure period is defined as the maximum time that the voltage is below 1/3 of the nominal to which the system must be connected. As elements skilled in the art will appreciate, the sink failure time on the voltage curve is typically defined by one or more utilities or other entities responsible for adjusting the parameters and operating criteria for the power grid in question, here, the grid 208. For example, the maximum sink failure period for FERC Order 661-A is about 1 sequo and in some codes as short as 0.3 seconds. Typically, fault disturbances with large voltage phase changes are short in duration, typically less than 100 ms and virtually always less than 500 ms. The present inventor has also empirically revealed that viable values of the nominal frequency tracking time constant for the 404 phase tracker, in this example, are in the range of about 25 ms to about 2 s. in a deployment, the response time is about 300 ms.
    [0020] In another example, the present inventor has revealed that the nominal frequency tracking time constant should be about 1 to about 5 times the desired length of time that the system must sink a very low voltage event . For convenience, this time is referred to in this document as "very low voltage time" or "VLVT", for short. The VLVT is the time that the system needs to sink at a level of less than about 15% to 20% of rated voltage. To assist in this definition, Figure 7 shows a graph 700 that illustrates exemplary voltage sink requirements. Elements versed in the technique can recognize that the graphic 700 is taken from FERC 2009, draft standard PRC-024-1. Graph 700 and a voltage graph per unit (PU), with the voltage taken at the point of interconnection (POI), versus time, and shows both a low voltage event curve 704 and a high voltage event curve 708 The region between curves 704 and 708 and the zone without displacement, or sinking region 712. As seen from the low voltage event curve 704, the VLVT of this example is 0.15 s, so that the time constant Nominal frequency tracking according to the teaching of this example should be about 0.15 s to about 0.75 s, that is, about 1 to about 5 times the VLVT, here 0.15 s.
    [0021] Elements skilled in the art will understand how to adjust the value of the nominal frequency tracking time constant of the 404 phase tracker given the conditions and characteristics of the power network in question, as well as the phase tracker parameters. Generally, the choice of the time constant is a correlation between the quick response that is required for rapid power changes during normal operation and the slower response for good LVRT performance. Importantly, it is noted that this slow tracking time deployment scheme is contrary to typical conventional power converter control schemes that use fast tracking speeds and various state machines to deal with sinking requirements. It is noted that an increase to the revealed slow tracking scheme should provide the 404 tracker with the innate ability to slow its response time from an already slow value to a slower value in proportion to the voltage at the wind turbine terminals. A simple way to deploy this deceleration feature using a PLL is described below in connection with Figure 5.
    [0022] As mentioned above, an alternative to making the phase tracker 404 slow in tracing the line voltage is to set the phase tracker to freeze the phase reference signal frequency of controller 424 at the value it substantially has in the time that a sinking event is detected. For this feature, the phase tracker 404 can be provided with a tracking event detector 432 designed and configured, for example, to detect using the mains voltage signal 408 when the mains voltage has dropped below a preset level .
    [0023] The present inventor has determined empirically that values of the preset level useful in the context of this resource include values that fall within the range of about 25% to about 50% of the normal operating voltage level in the power network in question , here, the 208 power network. As such, others may reveal values of the preset level outside the range provided as being useful.
    [0024] In one example, the tracking event detector 432 is a voltage comparator that compares the mains voltage signal voltage 408 to a reference voltage adjusted to the preset level just described. When the mains voltage drops below the preset level, the tracking event detector 432 activates the phase tracker 404 to freeze the controller phase reference signal frequency 424 at its then current value. An example of how this freeze can be achieved in the context of a 404 phase tracker that includes a PLL and described below in connection with Figure 5. That said, elements skilled in the art should be able to devise alternative ways of achieving this signal frequency freeze controller phase reference 424. It is noted that this feature can be enhanced when the phase tracker response time is relatively slow, for example, slow enough to keep the 424 phase reference signal close to the value it when the power grid 208 is operating at normal voltage levels over time the tracking event detector 432 takes to detect a failure event and the phase tracker 404 takes to freeze the phase reference signal. Thus, the controller phase reference signal 424, when frozen during the fault event, will have substantially the same value as it has during periods of normal mains voltage. As elements skilled in the art will appreciate, the controller phase reference signal 424 can be defrosted when the voltage is recovered back above the pre-set level.
    [0025] In a control system modality 324, the phase tracker 404 includes a PLL. Figure 5 illustrates an exemplary PLL 500 suitable for use in the 404 tracker. Similar to controller 400, elements skilled in the art will realize that PLL 500 will typically be deployed in software, but can alternatively be deployed in hardware. As seen in Figure 5, PLL 500 includes three primary components: a controlled oscillator 504; a phase detector 508; and a circuit filter 512. As elements skilled in the art will understand, the controlled oscillator 504 generates an AC reference signal 516 as a function of a phase error signal 520. Phase detector 508 emits a detector signal 524 that It is a function of the phase difference between AC voltage signal 332 and AC 516 reference signal. In one example, phase detector 508 is a multiplier that multiplies AC reference signal 516 and AC voltage signal 332 a with the other. This simple type of phase error detector has the characteristic of phase error which is proportional to the amplitude of the voltage as well as the phase error. This is what gives PLL the innate characteristic of having its frequency and phase tracking response time as a function of the voltage level. The detector signal 524 and then operated by circuit filter 512 to remove unwanted detector signal resources 524. In the case of the multiplier example of phase detector 508, circuit filter 512 and a low-pass filter designed and configured to release detector signal 514 from the double frequency term that results from multiplication. The output of the circuit filter 512 and the phase error signal 520.
    [0026] In some modalities, as illustrated in Figure 5, PLL 500 can operate using the optional centering frequency signal 528 generated, for example, by hardware or software programmable by operator (not shown). In such embodiments, the centering frequency signal 528 transmits a reference point to the PLL 500 and keeps the circuit filter output 512 close to the null. When the optional centering frequency signal 528 is present, the frequency error signal 520 is combined with the central frequency signal in the sum circuit 532, and the resulting signal 536 is output to the controlled oscillator 504. The controlled oscillator 504 also emits a phase reference signal 540 which is the phase of the AC reference signal 516 used in the feedback circuit for phase detector 508. When PLL 500 is used in control system 324 (Figures 3 and 4), the signal phase reference signal 540 corresponds to controller phase reference signal 424, and controller 400 (Figure 4) uses the controller phase reference signal to generate current commands 428 (Figure 4), which include a waveform of actual current and a reactive current waveform, for integrated circuits of converter 320 (Figures 3 and 4).
    [0027] As described above, in one embodiment, the 404 phase tracking system (Figure 4) is designed and configured to track the phase of the power grid voltage 208 slowly in order to greatly maintain the reference phase signal. controller 424 unaffected by a rapid voltage drop or decrease due to a sink failure voltage disturbance. In the context of PLL 500, this slowness can be achieved by selecting the appropriate earnings constants and other PLL operating parameters. Elements versed in the art will readily understand how to adapt the PLL 500 response time according to the guidance provided above in 404 tracker response times (Figure 4) for a given PLL project. Elements skilled in the art will also know how to adapt the slow response time of PLL 500 to a given power system that the converter control system 216 (Figures 2 to 4) will be part of.
    [0028] As also discussed above, the 404 phase tracker in Figure 4 can be accentuated when designing and configuring to slow its response as a function of the mains voltage. In the context of PLL 500 of Figure 5, this can be achieved by making phase detector 508 an amplitude-sensitive phase detector so that its phase error output is a function of both the phase error and the voltage level . With an amplitude-sensitive phase detector, the PLL 500 speed decreases with the decreased mains voltage amplitude, represented by the AC 332 voltage, during the drop or decrease, thus slowing down the response time for phase changes and frequency. Amplitude-sensitive phase detectors are known in the art, and therefore, additional details are not required for elements skilled in the art to deploy PLL 500 with an amplitude-sensitive phase detector suitable for the 508 phase detector.
    [0029] In an alternative modality of the converter control system 324 (Figures 3 and 4) described above, the phase tracker 404 (Figure 4) is designed and configured so that, once it detects that the mains voltage in network 208 it falls below a certain level, it maintains the frequency of controller phase reference signal 424 (Figure 4) then, current substantially at the time of detection. In an exemplary embodiment, when the phase tracker 404 and deployed as a PLL, such as the PLL 500 in Figure 5, the phase reference signal freezing 540 (which again corresponds to the controller phase reference signal 424 of the Figure 4 in the context of phase tracker 404) can be achieved by adjusting the value or phase error signal 520 or detector signal 524 (Figure 5) to null under detection of AC voltage 332 falling below one preset value, which is described above in connection with Figure 4). Setting the phase error signal 520 or detector signal 524 to null effectively maintains the frequency of phase reference signal 540 at the frequency in the freezing time. If the response time of PLL 500 is suitably slow as described above, the frozen phase reference signal frequency 540 will be roughly the frequency that was present just before the failure that caused the drop or decrease occurred.
    [0030] As elements skilled in the art will readily appreciate, this switching of the phase error signal value 520 or detector signal 424 from the "live" value to null can be achieved in a variety of ways. For example, if the PLL 500 is run with hardware, a multiplexer (not shown) that selects between a live value of phase error signal 520 and a constant null signal as a function of a selection signal, for example, from the detector tracking event 432 (Figure 4) can be added between circuit filter 512 and controlled oscillator 504. Alternatively, if the PLL 500 is deployed in software, a register that maintains a phase error signal value may be temporarily loaded with the null value during the freezing period. Elements skilled in the art will readily understand how to deploy these and other schemes to temporarily adjust the value of the phase error signal 520 to null in response to a trigger event, so that further explanation is not necessary for elements skilled in the art to create and use that aspect of the present invention. Since the phase error signal 520 is set to null in response to a voltage sag event, similar techniques can be used to return the phase error signal to live values when appropriate. Similar schemes can also be applied to detector signal 424.
    [0031] As previously noted, after receiving the PLL 500 phase reference signal 540 of Figure 5 (which corresponds to the controller phase reference signal 424 of Figure 4), the control system 324 (Figure 3) generates the command signal 328 which instructs converter integrated circuits 320 to distribute a current waveform in a particular phase in relation to the voltage existing in the utility panel 208. Command signal 328 can be generated digitally using Lookup tables, which use analog integrated circuits, or it can be a software routine that performs, for example, a trigonometric function of sine and cosine. For the PLL deployment described in relation to Figure 5, the strategy is to let the AC current command phase be controlled by the phase 540 reference signal phase. Using one or more of the techniques described above, the phase 404 (Figure 4) effectively estimates the phase value of the mains voltage during a sink failure event. Thus, when the power grid 208 returns to normal operation after the event, the WPU 204 will already be distributing current to the power grid 208 in a phase and frequency that are very close to the recovery phase and frequency of the voltage in the grid.
    [0032] The control system 324 (Figures 3 and 4) can be relatively simple or very complex, incorporating many wind turbine control functions. The control system 324 can be an independent circuit simply for the functions related to the technique of the present invention or it can simply be a part of the converter or some other component of the wind turbine system or aspects of the converter control circuit spread between the components. The control system 324, as shown in Figure 4, can be incorporated as a physical hardware component or can be deployed in software using, for example, a microprocessor.
