Traveling wave direction pilot protection method suitable for MMC-HVDC power transmission line

Abstract

The invention discloses a traveling wave direction pilot protection method suitable for a MMC-HVDC power transmission line. The method comprises: a rectification side protection unit and an inversionside protection unit respectively obtaining anode and cathode voltage traveling wave signals and anode and cathode current traveling wave signals on power transmission lines of ends where the rectification side protection unit and the inversion side protection unit are located, and determining anode and cathode instantaneous traveling wave power according to the voltage traveling wave signals andthe current traveling wave signals; identifying a rectification side fault pole and an inversion side fault pole according to the positive pole instantaneous traveling wave power and negative pole instantaneous traveling wave power of the end and known fault pole identification criterion; identifying a fault direction corresponding to the fault pole of a rectification side and a fault direction corresponding to the fault pole of an inversion side; if the fault directions of the two sides are both forward directions, determining that a fault type is an internal fault; otherwise, determining thefault type to be an external fault; and executing corresponding protection according to the determined fault type. By applying the method and the device, technical problems of poor fault identification reliability and easy misoperation of protection in the prior art can be solved.

Description
