A multifunctional electric section switch for a substation and a control method thereof
By adopting a voltage tracking method using back-to-back three-phase full-bridge AC/AC converters and parallel switches, as well as a high-frequency small-signal impedance method, the problem of prolonged power loss of substation equipment due to transient faults was solved. This enabled automatic phase verification and fault detection with automatic transfer switching, ensuring normal power supply to the equipment.

AI Technical Summary
The existing substation power sectionalizing switches have limited functionality and cannot achieve automatic phase matching and fault detection with automatic transfer switching, resulting in prolonged power outages for AC equipment within the substation due to momentary faults.
A back-to-back three-phase full-bridge AC/AC converter and parallel switch are used to achieve asynchronous paralleling of the AC bus through voltage tracking. The impedance method with injected high-frequency small signal is used to determine the fault type. When the controller determines that it is a transient fault, it will activate the automatic transfer function.
It enables asynchronous paralleling of AC busbars and accurate identification of fault types, avoiding prolonged power outages of substation equipment due to transient faults and ensuring normal power supply to the equipment.
