Abstract

The invention relates to a method for feeding electrical current into an electrical, three-phase power supply system having a first phase, a second phase and a third phase with a first voltage, a second voltage and a third voltage at a power supply system frequency, comprising the steps of: measuring the first, second and third voltages, transforming the first, second and third voltages into a positive phase-sequence voltage system and a negative phase-sequence voltage system according to the method of symmetrical components, calculating a first desired current, a second desired current and a third desired current for feeding into the first, second and third phases of the power supply system, wherein the first, second and third desired currents are calculated on the basis of at least one value of the positive phase-sequence voltage system and/or the negative phase-sequence voltage system.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of feeding electric current into an electric three-phase network comprising first, second and third phases with first, second and third voltages at a network frequency, the method comprising:
measuring the first, second and third voltages,
transforming the first, second and third voltages into a voltage positive sequence and a voltage negative sequence using a method of symmetrical components,
calculating a first, second and third target currents for feeding into the first, second and third phases, respectively, of the electric three-phase network, wherein calculation of the first, second and third target currents is effected in dependence on at least one value of the voltage positive sequence and the voltage negative sequence.

2. The method according to claim 1 wherein electric energy is produced by a wind power installation and fed into the electric three-phase network.

3. The method according to claim 1 wherein electric currents corresponding to the first, second and third target currents for feeding into the electric three-phase network are produced by a frequency converter and fed into the electric three-phase network.

4. The method according to claim 1 wherein calculating the first, second and third target currents is based on a calculation phase angle that is determined in dependence on detection of a network fault using a determination filter or filter block, wherein
the calculation phase angle is determined from a detected phase angle of one of the network voltages when no network fault is detected; and
the calculation phase angle is determined from a phase angle of the voltage positive sequence using a predetermined network frequency when a network fault is detected.

5. The method according to claim 1 wherein calculating the target currents reference is made to the voltage positive sequence, including the phase angle of the voltage positive sequence.

6. The method according to claim 1 wherein transforming the first, second and third voltages into the voltage positive sequence and the voltage negative sequence includes transformation of the first, second and third voltages by a discrete Fourier transformation, wherein the discrete Fourier transformation is effected online and over half a period duration.

7. The method according to claim 1 wherein transforming the first, second and third voltages into the voltage positive sequence and the voltage negative sequence uses a predetermined frequency instead of using the currently prevailing network frequency.

8. The method according to claim 7 wherein the predetermined frequency is one of a value of the network frequency of an earlier measurement time, a nominal value of the network frequency, and an externally predetermined value.

9. The method according to claim 1 wherein the first, second and third target currents are predetermined using the method of symmetrical components by way of a current positive sequence and a current negative sequence, and wherein the positive sequence is taken into consideration by a complex positive sequence current component with respect to magnitude and phase and the negative sequence is taken into consideration by a complex negative sequence current component with respect to magnitude and phase.

10. The method according to claim 9 wherein the first, second and third target currents are calculated in dependence on the current positive sequence or the positive sequence current component and assumes a network fault.

11. The method according to claim 9 wherein the current positive sequence or the positive sequence current component and the current negative sequence or the negative sequence current component is determined in dependence on at least one of:
a presetting of an active power component of the positive sequence,
a presetting of a reactive power component of the positive sequence, and
a presetting of a quotient of the magnitude of the negative sequence current component in relation to the magnitude of the positive sequence current component.

12. The method according to claim 9 wherein the negative sequence current component is set or varied independently of the positive sequence current component.

13. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method is carried out online.

14. A wind power installation which uses a method according to claim 1 for feeding electric current into the electric three-phase network.

15. A wind park comprising a plurality of wind power installations with at least one wind power installation according to claim 14 .
