This invention provides a method and apparatus for adaptive adjustment of distribution network protection. The method includes: determining the
tower numbers according to the distance from the substation, based on the main line and
branch lines respectively; re-determining the
transformer capacity between any adjacent protection devices based on the determined
tower numbers and change information; determining the level corresponding to the target protection device based on the principle of capacity
equalization; determining the setting value of the target protection device based on the level corresponding to the target protection device and in combination with the setting rules of the main line or
branch line protection devices; and remotely adjusting the target protection device if the setting value of the target protection device changes. This invention achieves real-time protection of the distribution network and automatically completes adaptive setting by monitoring the distribution network equipment in real time, obtaining change information, classifying protection devices into levels, and automatically calculating the setting value of each protection device according to the setting rules of protection devices on different lines.
