The present application belongs to the technical field of electrified railway
traction power supply, and particularly relates to a traction network multi-terminal longitudinal
differential protection system and method under a double-sided through AT power supply mode. The
system sets multi-terminal longitudinal
differential protection elements according to uplink and downlink feeders, covers multi-terminal branches composed of traction substations, AT substations and partition substations, and each
branch is configured with a
current transformer. The protection element includes a
power frequency variation current differential element, a T-line / F-
line current differential element and a low-
voltage differential current starting element, which are respectively adapted to fault transient and
steady state characteristics, and realize rapid fault identification and accurate removal through cooperative action. The method combines
current threshold criterion,
voltage criterion and opposite side allowable
signal to ensure the
rapidity, selectivity, sensitivity and reliability of action, realize rapid removal of fault two-end power supply, reduce the fault isolation range, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the traction network.
