Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy storage power station construction, and in particular to a construction method for a grounding down conductor system of a new energy energy storage power station. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing number of new energy photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation and other forms of power stations, the electricity generated by them is connected to the power grid, but sometimes it cannot be consumed in time, wasting wind power and photovoltaic resources; in particular, electricity consumption is regional and periodic; the rise of new energy storage power stations perfectly solves the storage and supply of electricity, shaving peaks and filling valleys, and balancing the power grid.
[0003] In energy storage power stations, the main grounding grid is the core infrastructure for ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system. Its importance is mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the main grounding grid quickly conducts fault current, lightning current, and electrostatic charge into the earth through a low-impedance path, effectively avoiding equipment insulation breakdown and the risk of electric shock to personnel, ensuring the safety of both personnel and equipment. Second, a complete grounding system can balance the potential distribution across the entire station, preventing potential differences between equipment caused by local potential rises, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference on the signals of precision control equipment such as the battery management system (BMS) and energy management system (EMS), ensuring the reliability of the system's monitoring and control functions. In addition, in response to the high DC side voltage characteristics unique to energy storage power stations, the main grounding grid can suppress the generation of DC arcs and reduce the risk of fire. Under abnormal grid operating conditions, the main grounding grid also provides an accurate fault current path for protection devices, ensuring that relay protection operates quickly and accurately to prevent accidents from escalating.
[0004] The degree to which the main grounding grid functions is realized depends on the reasonable distribution and connection between the electrical equipment of the energy storage power station and the main grounding grid. Currently, there is no specific grounding down conductor system to ensure that the main grounding grid can serve as the cornerstone for the safe operation of electrical equipment in the energy storage power station. Therefore, a new energy storage power station grounding down conductor system is proposed to ensure the safe and stable operation of electrical equipment in the energy storage power station site. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a construction method for a grounding down conductor system of a new energy storage power station, so as to solve the problem that the prior art energy storage power station has no systematic grounding method to ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for constructing a grounding down conductor system for a new energy storage power station. Based on the construction of a main grounding grid, the method is used to rationally connect the lightning rod, frame, arrester bracket, main transformer, pipe busbar, GIS, and cap eaves grading strip in the energy storage power station to the main grounding grid to maximize the function of protecting related electrical equipment in the energy storage power station. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1. Connect the lightning rod, frame, arrester bracket, main transformer, pipe mother, GIS and cap grading belt to the main grounding grid;
[0008] S2. Provide centralized grounding devices, which should be installed near the lightning rod, main transformer and pipe mother.
[0009] S3. Then connect the lightning rod, main transformer and pipe mother to the adjacent centralized grounding device respectively.
[0010] By adopting this technical solution, on the basis of connecting the main electrical equipment of the energy storage power station to the main grounding grid, centralized grounding devices are installed for lightning rods, main transformers and pipe mothers where more current is generated. This increases the dispersion area, thereby increasing the grounding efficiency of the energy storage power station grounding down conductor system, and reducing the potential difference between multiple devices in the energy storage power station, ensuring the balance of the entire site, preventing equipment damage and malfunction due to potential differences, and thus ensuring the safe operation of electrical equipment.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, the connection between the lightning rod, frame, lightning arrester bracket, main transformer, pipe mother, GIS and brim equalizing belt and the main grounding grid is completed through the cooperation of flat iron and vertical grounding body, wherein the vertical grounding body is angle steel, and the single-sided width is the same as the flat iron width. The connection parts formed are overlapped and fully welded using connectors formed by bending flat iron.
[0012] By adopting this technical solution, it is possible to avoid the potential difference between two adjacent flat irons, which would cause circulating current and affect the grounding effect.
[0013] Furthermore, the overlap lengths between the connector and the flat iron, the vertical grounding body, and the main grounding grid are all twice the width of the flat iron.
[0014] By adopting this technical solution, it is ensured that no loop current or concentrated load is generated during the arrival process. Fault current, lightning current and electrostatic charge can be quickly conducted into the ground, effectively avoiding equipment insulation breakdown and the risk of electric shock to personnel, and ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.
[0015] Furthermore, the centralized grounding device in step S2 is composed of three angle steels arranged in a triangle and connected by a horizontal grounding body;
[0016] When setting up a centralized grounding device, the horizontal grounding electrode should be buried underground.
[0017] By adopting this technical solution, a centralized grounding device consisting of three angle steels and a horizontal grounding body forms a grounding structure outside the main grounding grid to increase the dispersion area and achieve the purpose of increasing grounding efficiency.
[0018] Furthermore, in step S1 , multiple connection points between the frame and the main grounding grid are provided along the plane coverage of the frame itself to ensure reliable connection between the frame and the main grounding grid.
[0019] By adopting this technical solution, the grounding stability of the structure is guaranteed.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S1, the arrester bracket should be connected to two different vertical grounding electrodes, and connected to different positions of the main grounding grid through the two different vertical grounding electrodes.
[0021] By adopting this technical solution, the grounding efficiency of the lightning arrester bracket is increased.
[0022] Furthermore, the main transformer connected to the main grounding grid in step S1 includes the foundation embedded parts, the main transformer core, the clamps, the main transformer body, the neutral point complete device and the main transformer terminal box being connected to the main grounding grid respectively;
[0023] Connecting the main transformer to the adjacent centralized grounding device in step S3 means connecting the neutral point complete set to the adjacent centralized grounding device and performing grounding through the centralized grounding device.
[0024] By adopting this technical solution, different grounding methods are selected according to the different structural compositions of the main transformer to ensure the grounding effect and efficiency of the entire main transformer.
[0025] Furthermore, the connection of the busbar to the main grounding grid in step S1 includes connecting the busbar bridge support to the main grounding grid and grounding through the main grounding grid;
[0026] Connecting the busbar to the adjacent centralized grounding device in step S3 refers to connecting the busbar bridge support to the adjacent centralized grounding device and grounding the busbar through the centralized grounding device.
[0027] By adopting this technical solution, the pipe mother is connected to the main grounding grid and the centralized grounding device respectively to increase the grounding diffusion area, thereby increasing the grounding efficiency of the pipe mother.
[0028] Furthermore, the GIS in step S1 is connected to the main grounding grid in the form of dual grounding on both sides of the main grounding grid, and the dual grounding on both sides is connected to different sides of the main grounding grid.
[0029] By adopting this technical solution, the GIS is included in different main grounding grids to increase the grounding diffusion area of the GIS, thereby increasing the grounding efficiency of the GIS.
[0030] Furthermore, the hat brim pressure equalizing belt in step S1 is composed of two flat irons horizontally connected to the main grounding grid.
[0031] By adopting this technical solution, the point distribution is optimized, the risks of step voltage and contact voltage are reduced, and the risk of electric shock to personnel is minimized through local point balancing and gradient control.
[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0033] 1. On the basis of connecting the main electrical equipment of the energy storage power station to the main grounding grid, centralized grounding devices are installed for lightning rods, main transformers and pipe mothers where more current is generated to increase the dispersion area, thereby increasing the grounding efficiency of the energy storage power station grounding down conductor system and reducing the potential difference between multiple devices in the energy storage power station to ensure the balance of the entire site and prevent equipment damage and malfunction due to potential difference.
[0034] 2. The flat iron bending method is adopted to ensure that the overlapping area of the flat iron at the connection parts is twice the width of the flat iron for various forms of horizontal and vertical connection parts. The overlapping parts are fully welded to ensure that no loop current and no concentrated load are generated during the connection process. The fault current, lightning current and electrostatic charge can be quickly conducted into the ground, effectively avoiding the risk of equipment insulation breakdown and electric shock to personnel, and ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.
