A 3,000 MW DC Photovoltaic Power Transmission Project in Qinghai Province
Overview

Leveraging its advanced technology, high reliability, and wide market recognition, our SID-2AS synchronizing device fully meets the stringent requirements of the Qinghai Hainan Base Qinghai–Henan DC photovoltaic project, providing an all-scenario, intelligent synchronizing and grid-connection solution for the project.

To address the extreme environmental conditions of the Qinghai Hainan Base—high altitude (3,000 m) and low temperatures down to –30°C—the SID-2AS synchronizing device adopts dual-channel software and hardware interlocking and multi-level fault-tolerant technologies, ensuring fault-free operation under harsh conditions and meeting the project’s demanding reliability requirements.

Facing the project’s complex grid-connection scenarios—including three 330 kV collector substations (with breaker-and-a-half schemes and double-busbar configurations) and multiple photovoltaic array sections across different contract packages—the solution integrates the SID-2X-B synchronizing point selector with automatic multi-point selection. This enables the SID-2AS to automatically adapt to different substation synchronizing parameters. Through digital phase-angle calculation and voltage compensation, the system rapidly accommodates diverse wiring configurations, significantly simplifying commissioning.

By achieving full-process automation—from parameter matching to grid connection—the solution reduces manual intervention risks and enhances operational efficiency.

Through the combined advantages of high reliability, intelligent adaptation, and automated closed-loop control, the solution helps the project achieve a 30% improvement in grid-connection efficiency and a 20% reduction in operation and maintenance costs under the challenging “desert–Gobi–wasteland” environment, providing a replicable benchmark for similar large-scale renewable energy transmission projects.

Pain Points & Solutions
  • Pain Point 1: Synchronizing Control of Synchronous Condensers
    Excessive phase-angle deviation during grid connection of synchronous condensers may cause reactive power fluctuations, adversely affecting grid voltage stability.
  • Solution 1
    A high-precision automatic synchronizing device continuously monitors voltage, frequency, and phase-angle differences between the synchronous condenser and the grid, dynamically adjusting condenser speed to achieve a phase-angle deviation of ≤ 0.5°.
  • Pain Point 2: Multiple Synchronizing Points
    Under different operating modes of photovoltaic generation, grid connection may be required at different synchronizing points, requiring a single synchronizing device to support multiple synchronizing points.
  • Solution 2
    Supports cluster grid connection of multiple synchronous condensers, with scalability up to 16 synchronizing points.
  • Pain Point 3: Complex Operating Modes
    Some synchronizing points may operate under slip-frequency conditions, while others require equal-frequency synchronization. In addition, the system must support single-side and double-side no-voltage closing checks.
  • Solution 3
    The automatic synchronizing device supports self-identification of grid-connection conditions and automatic determination of multiple closing modes.
  • Pain Point 4: High Harmonic Interference from Inverter-Based Sources
    Photovoltaic inverters generate 5th and 7th harmonics, with total harmonic distortion (THD) reaching up to 5%, which interferes with voltage sampling and leads to phase-angle (Δθ) measurement errors.
  • Solution 4
    Both hardware and software of the synchronizing device are optimized to ensure accurate synchronization performance under high harmonic interference conditions.
  • Pain Point 5: Rapid Grid Frequency Fluctuations
    When photovoltaic output drops sharply, the grid rate of change of frequency (RoCoF) may exceed 0.5 Hz/s, making it difficult for conventional synchronizing devices to track.
  • Solution 5
    The synchronizing device supports dynamic slip-frequency adjustment, enabling real-time speed regulation of the synchronous condenser to track grid frequency variations.
