An improved decision tree-based method for predicting overvoltage peak
values integrating a model-driven scheme
Abstract
The commutation failure is the most prevalent fault in line-commutated
converter based HVDC systems, which may result in transient overvoltage
on the sending-side system. Overvoltage level evaluation has become a
crucial task for power industries to assess the tripping risk of
large-scale wind turbines and implement effective stability control
measures. In this paper, decision tree (DT) model is adopted to extract
the mapping relationship between transient overvoltage and massive
electrical quantities of power grids. The common DT algorithm is
transformed by modifying the error weight assignment, which reflects the
error tolerances for different actual overvoltage regions. To compensate
for potential inaccuracies in the data-driven method, a derivation of
the mathematical relationship between the reactive power consumed by the
rectifier and AC voltage is presented, along with an analytical
expression for the peak value of transient overvoltage. On this basis,
an overvoltage analysis method integrating the model-driven and
data-driven techniques is proposed, and the improved DT algorithm is
ap-plied to fast error correction, enhancing the interpretability of
regression prediction results. Case studies were performed in the actual
Northwest China local region hybrid AC/DC power grid with transient
overvoltage problems, and the simulation results verified the
effectiveness of the proposed method.
