The invention discloses a substation area
backup protection method based on combination of direction comparison and current differential. In the method,
zoning processing is performed on a
backup protection range so that an application status that
backup protection relies on fault electric quantity and time-limit ladder cooperation to realize selectivity is changed and the movement speed of the backup protection is improved; a current differential principle and a direction comparison principle are used comprehensively for fault positioning so that not only is absolute selectivity of the differential principle is used, but advantages that direction elements have lower demands on sampling value
data synchronization are used, and at the same time, performance demands on inter-
station data channels are reduced; after
system faults are detected, time
delay for Nms is performed to wait for a main protection motion, wherein N belongs to a range of [250, 350]; if the main protection refuses to move, a backup
tripping command is sent out; and if a
circuit breaker is out of order, an out-of-order
tripping command is sent to an expansion
tripping area. Compared with ladder time
delay of at least 500ms for one differential adopted by traditional backup protection, the method is faster in motion rapid.
