Review of High Voltage Ride-Through Control Method of Large-Scale Wind Farm

As the major demand for the development and utilization of new energy, the large-scale development of wind power is a key support in achieving the strategic goal of “cabron peaking and carbon neutrality” for China. The problem of safe and stable operation of wind farms caused by external grid faults has become one of the key bottlenecks restricting the large-scale, clustered, and intelligent development of wind power. This paper mainly focuses on the voltage surge condition of the power grid. First, it analyzes the transient characteristics of high voltage ride-through (HVRT) of the doubly-fed induction generator-wind turbine, permanent magnet synchronous generator-wind turbine, and wind farms. Then, it summarizes the corresponding HVRT and post-fault voltage recovery coordinated optimal control strategies based on the different control areas, and it classifies and compares the working principles and advantages and disadvantages of various control strategies. Afterwards, it recapitulates the principle, advantages and disadvantages, and effects of the existing HVRT control method for large-scale wind farms, and analyzes the differences between the single wind turbine and the large-scale wind farms from the perspective of control structure. Finally, it discusses the development trend and potential research hotspots of wind farm voltage intelligent safety control in the future, aiming to provide reference for improving the large-scale application of wind power and the safe operation of power grids in China.
