Protection method and system for unified power flow controller

Abstract

The invention provides a protection method and system for a unified power flow controller. The partitioning and layering method is adopted and includes the steps that the unified power flow controller is firstly partitioned according to the number of current converters; partition protection is carried out on each current converter area according to an alternating current protection area, a converter valve protection area and a direct current pole protection area; meanwhile, layered protection is carried out on the converter valve areas according to a converter valve layer and a valve element layer. The protection system is characterized in that according to the characteristic that a series connection side transformer is connected into a line in series, a PT is additionally arranged on the line to enable a series connection transformer primary winding to be arranged between the PT and a CT of an original line, a series connection transformer line side winding is brought into a line protection range, and meanwhile the additionally-arranged line PT is adopted for line protection. The protection method and system are simple and reliable, all areas of a UPFC device are covered, UPFC protection is matched with original alternating current system protection, the protected ranges are intersected, it is guaranteed that protected dead zones do not exist, and the motion reliability of the integral system is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of flexible power transmission in power systems, and in particular relates to a protection method and system for a unified power flow controller. Background technique [0002] With the interconnection of large-scale power systems and the use of various new equipment, the scale and complexity of the power system have also increased while making power generation and transmission more economical and efficient; coupled with a large number of distributed power generation systems connected to the grid , so that the traditional fixed power flow transmitted from the transmission network to the distribution network is reversed; the continuous growth of user load requires power flow control means to improve the existing power transmission capacity; the complex power exchange between the booming smart grid and the power market requires Frequent flow optimization control. [0003] The unified power flow controller, also known as...

[0007] The analysis of the above literature only considered the impact of UPFC on line distance protection, and did not consider the impact on other such as line differential protection and directional elements, and did not involve the protection of UPFC's own equipment, the protection of the original AC system, and the protection of UPFC itself. When analyzing the impact of UPFC on distance protection, the above literature considers the parallel side of UPFC to be connected to the line in parallel, which will
