DC boost-gathering technology for photovoltaic power plants is expected to be an effective solution to the current stability issues and overall inefficiency of photovoltaic power plants.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1, reference Figure 1-Figure 4 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a method and system for identifying and riding through a high-voltage side fault of a DC transformer, including: There are some problems in the existing related technologies, such as inaccurate fault detection on the high-voltage side of the DC boost converter and immature fault ride-through technology, which leads to poor system stability and affects the overall operating efficiency of the photovoltaic power station.

[0028] This application provides a method that can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems. Next, we will describe in detail how to implement the DC transformer high-voltage side fault identification and ride-through method in combination with multiple embodiments. Figure 1 A method flow chart of a method and system for identifying and riding through a high-voltage side fault of a DC transformer is shown, including: S101, obtaining a first parameter of a high-voltage side of a target DC step-up transformer; In an optional embodiment, the target DC step-up transformer is as follows: Figure 2 Figure 2 shows the low-voltage side (left half): The low-voltage side consists of a full-bridge module containing four switching devices (typically MOSFETs or IGBTs). These switches are configured so that the switches on the two diagonals operate in complementary fashion. That is, when one diagonal pair of switches is on, the other pair is off. The full-bridge module converts the DC input voltage to AC voltage by controlling the on and off states of the switching devices.

[0029] High-frequency transformer: Located between the full-bridge module and the rectifier bridge, the high-frequency transformer provides isolation and voltage conversion. It converts the AC voltage generated on the low-voltage side to the voltage level required on the high-voltage side. The transformer's design allows for voltage conversion while maintaining electrical isolation, which is crucial for certain applications, such as power adapters and electric vehicle chargers.

[0030] High-voltage side (right): The high-voltage side includes a single-phase, uncontrolled rectifier bridge composed of four diodes. This bridge rectifier converts the AC voltage output from the transformer back to DC. The capacitor after the rectifier bridge acts as a filter, smoothing the output voltage and reducing ripple.

[0031] Output: The output terminal has two current sensing points (IDP and IDN) and two voltage sensing points (UDP and UDN) for monitoring the circuit's operating status. IDP and IDN measure the positive and negative output currents, respectively, while UDP and UDN measure the positive and negative output voltages.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the first parameter on the high-voltage side of the target DC step-up transformer is used to obtain a first fault characteristic. Therefore, the selection of the first parameter on the high-voltage side of the target DC step-up transformer determines the subsequent method for obtaining the first fault characteristic and the accuracy of the fault ride-through strategy. To accurately obtain the first fault characteristic, it is necessary to ensure that the selected first parameter fully reflects the fault condition on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, when selecting the first parameter, in addition to considering the positive and negative voltages and currents on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer, other relevant parameters, such as temperature and frequency, may be added as needed to further improve the accuracy of fault identification. These parameters can be monitored and collected in real time by sensors installed on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, after obtaining the first parameters, fault signature extraction is performed based on these parameters. Fault signature extraction is a key step in the fault identification and ride-through method, and its accuracy directly impacts the subsequent formulation and implementation of the fault ride-through strategy. Therefore, when extracting fault signatures, it is necessary to establish scientific and reasonable fault signature judgment criteria to ensure accurate identification of the fault type on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer.

[0035] It should be noted that fault characteristic judgment criteria can include criteria for different fault types, such as DC bus disconnection, single-pole grounding faults, and bipolar short-circuit faults. These criteria can be developed based on factors such as the DC step-up transformer's structural characteristics, operating principles, and historical fault data. When developing these criteria, it is necessary to fully consider the parameter variation patterns under various fault conditions to ensure their accuracy and reliability.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, the first parameter includes at least one of the following: positive and negative voltages and currents on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer, so the subsequent extraction of the first fault feature will be mainly based on these parameters. By real-time monitoring and analysis of the changes in the positive and negative voltages and currents on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer, potential fault signs can be discovered in a timely manner. For example, when abnormal fluctuations or sudden changes in voltage or current are detected, it may mean that there is a risk of fault on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the system further analyzes the degree of match between these abnormal parameters and pre-defined fault signature criteria to determine the specific fault type. Once the fault type is determined, the system immediately initiates a pre-defined fault ride-through strategy to minimize the impact of the fault on system stability and the overall operational efficiency of the PV plant.

[0038] It should be noted that obtaining the first parameters of the high-voltage side of the target DC step-up transformer provides basic data support for subsequent fault feature extraction and fault type identification. As a direct reflection of the operating status of the DC step-up transformer's high-voltage side, the accuracy and completeness of these first parameters are crucial to the success of fault identification and ride-through methods. By accurately acquiring these parameters, the system can more accurately determine whether a fault exists on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer and the specific type of fault, allowing for the timely implementation of effective fault ride-through strategies to ensure system stability and the overall operational efficiency of the PV power plant. Furthermore, these first parameters can provide important reference for system fault warnings and preventive maintenance, further improving system reliability and safety.

[0039] S102, obtaining a first fault feature according to a first parameter; In the embodiment of the present application, the first fault feature is used to identify the fault type on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer. The fault type on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer includes at least one of the following: A DC bus disconnect fault occurs on the high-voltage side of the DC transformer, a single-pole grounding fault occurs on the high-voltage side of the DC transformer, and a bipolar short circuit fault occurs on the high-voltage side of the DC transformer.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the first fault characteristic may include, but is not limited to, abnormal voltage fluctuations, sudden current changes, and abnormal voltage-current phase relationships. These fault characteristics are typically associated with specific fault types on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer, such as a DC busbar disconnection fault, a single-pole grounding fault, or a double-pole short circuit fault. By real-time monitoring and analysis of the first parameter, the system can identify these fault characteristics and thereby determine whether a fault exists on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer and the specific type of fault.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, in order to accurately obtain the first fault feature, the system needs to establish fault feature judgment criteria based on the first parameter. These judgment criteria can be formulated based on factors such as the structural characteristics, working principle, and historical fault data of the DC step-up transformer.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, during the formulation process, the system needs to fully consider the parameter variation patterns under various fault conditions to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the judgment criteria. Once the fault feature judgment criteria are established, the system can analyze and compare the first parameters monitored in real time according to these criteria to extract the first fault features that meet the judgment criteria.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of fault identification, the system can also employ a variety of data processing and analysis technologies, such as signal processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning. These technologies can help the system identify fault characteristics more quickly and accurately, thereby promptly initiating a preset fault ride-through strategy and reducing the impact of the fault on system stability and the overall operating efficiency of the PV power plant.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, obtaining the first fault feature according to the first parameter includes: Establishing a fault characteristic judgment standard based on the first parameter; Extracting a first fault feature that meets a fault feature judgment criterion; The first fault feature includes at least one of the following: a voltage fault feature and a current fault feature when the corresponding fault occurs.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the fault characteristic judgment criteria include: The fault characteristic judgment criteria include at least one of the following: a first judgment criterion for a DC bus disconnection fault occurring on the high voltage side of the DC transformer; The second judgment criterion for a single-pole grounding fault on the high-voltage side of a DC transformer; and a third criterion for determining a bipolar short circuit fault on the high voltage side of a DC transformer.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the first judgment criterion, the second judgment criterion, and the third judgment criterion can be formulated based on factors such as the structural characteristics, working principle, and historical fault data of the DC step-up transformer, and can be verified and continuously optimized through experiments to ensure their accuracy and reliability. For example, for a DC bus disconnection fault, the first judgment criterion can be set to be determined as a DC bus disconnection fault when it is detected that the DC voltage on the high-voltage side drops sharply and the current is almost zero. For a single-pole grounding fault, the second judgment criterion can be set to be determined as a single-pole grounding fault when it is detected that the voltage of one pole on the high-voltage side drops significantly, while the voltage of the other pole remains unchanged or increases slightly, and the current is unbalanced. For a bipolar short circuit fault, the third judgment criterion can be set to be determined as a bipolar short circuit fault when it is detected that the voltages of the positive and negative poles on the high-voltage side drop sharply at the same time and the current increases significantly.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, when developing fault signature judgment criteria, it is also necessary to consider the mutual influence and interference between different fault types. For example, in some cases, one fault type may cause the characteristics of another fault type to appear, or multiple fault types may occur simultaneously, making the identification and judgment of fault characteristics more complex. Therefore, when developing fault signature judgment criteria, it is necessary to fully consider these special circumstances and take appropriate measures to distinguish and identify them.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of fault identification, the system can also utilize various data processing and analysis technologies, such as signal processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning. These technologies can help the system identify fault characteristics more quickly and accurately, thereby promptly initiating preset fault ride-through strategies and reducing the impact of faults on system stability and the overall operational efficiency of the PV power plant. For example, machine learning algorithms can be used to train and learn from historical fault data to establish a mapping model between fault characteristics and fault types. This allows the system to quickly and accurately identify fault types and implement corresponding fault ride-through strategies when new fault characteristics are detected in real time.

[0049] Specifically, the voltage and current signals at the high-voltage side of the DC transformer are collected in real time. 、 、 、 , identify the high-voltage side fault of the DC transformer based on the voltage and current fault characteristics: If criterion (1) is met, a DC busbar disconnection fault occurs on the high-voltage side of the DC transformer, which is the first judgment criterion in this application.

[0050] (1) in, It is the fixed value of the pole bus current, which is generally set to 0.05pu in engineering. It is the set value of the DC bus current change rate, which is generally set to 0.2pu / 0.1ms in engineering. is the time variable.

[0051] If criterion (2) is met, a single-pole grounding fault occurs on the high-voltage side of the DC transformer, which is the second criterion in this application.

[0052] (2) in, It is the unbalanced voltage setting value of the positive and negative DC bus, which is generally set to 0.5pu in engineering. It is the extremely low DC bus voltage setting value, which is generally set to 0.3pu in engineering.

[0053] If criterion (3) is met, a bipolar short circuit fault occurs on the high voltage side of the DC transformer, which is the third criterion in this application.

[0054] (3) in, It is the fixed value of the pole bus voltage, which is generally set to 0.3pu in engineering. It is the set value of the DC bus current change rate, which is generally set to 0.2pu / 0.1ms in engineering.

[0055] It should be noted that when the above formula is satisfied, the first fault feature of the corresponding fault is extracted, and the fault type is determined based on the extracted first fault feature. If the result is a DC bus disconnect fault, a ride-through strategy for the DC bus disconnect fault is initiated; if the result is a single-pole ground fault, a ride-through strategy for single-pole ground faults is initiated; if the result is a double-pole short circuit fault, a ride-through strategy for double-pole short circuit faults is initiated. These ride-through strategies may include, but are not limited to, adjusting system parameters, switching to backup power sources, and isolating the faulty area to minimize the impact of the fault on system stability and the overall operating efficiency of the PV power station.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the formulation of the fault ride-through strategy needs to take into account factors such as the structural characteristics, working principle, and fault type of the DC step-up transformer. For example, for a DC bus line break fault, the ride-through strategy may include measures such as quickly disconnecting the fault line and starting the backup DC bus to ensure continuous power supply to the system. For a single-pole grounding fault, the ride-through strategy may include adjusting system parameters, such as changing the grounding resistance value, to balance the voltage and current of the positive and negative poles to prevent further expansion of the fault. For a bipolar short circuit fault, the ride-through strategy may include immediately cutting off the power supply to the fault area and isolating the faulty equipment to protect other normally operating equipment from being affected.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, to improve the efficiency and accuracy of fault ride-through, the system can also employ advanced control algorithms and intelligent decision-making technologies. For example, intelligent control algorithms such as fuzzy control and neural networks can be used to optimize and control the fault ride-through process, achieving faster and more accurate fault ride-through. Furthermore, technologies such as big data analysis and cloud computing can be used to mine and analyze historical fault data to identify patterns and trends in fault occurrence, providing a scientific basis for formulating fault ride-through strategies.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, a series of preventative maintenance measures can be implemented to improve system reliability and safety. For example, regular inspections and maintenance of the DC step-up transformer can be performed to promptly identify and address potential faults. Furthermore, a fault early warning mechanism can be established to monitor and analyze the system's operating status in real time, promptly identifying abnormal parameters and signs of faults. This allows preventive measures to be taken before a fault occurs, preventing it from occurring and escalating.

[0059] It should be noted that obtaining the first fault signature based on the first parameter provides critical information for subsequent fault type identification and ride-through strategy development. By accurately extracting and analyzing the first fault signature, the system can more quickly identify the fault type on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer, enabling timely activation of the appropriate fault ride-through strategy and minimizing the fault's impact on the system. This rapid and accurate fault identification and ride-through capability is crucial for ensuring system stability and the overall operational efficiency of the PV power plant. Furthermore, obtaining the first fault signature facilitates fault early warning and preventive maintenance, further improving system reliability and safety.

[0060] S103: Preset a fault ride-through strategy. If a first fault feature of any fault type is obtained, start the fault ride-through strategy.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the preset fault ride-through strategy includes performing fault ride-through on the state judgment operation of the DC transformer by design.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the fault ride-through strategy may include, but is not limited to, adjusting system parameters, switching to backup power supplies, isolating the fault area, restarting the DC transformer, and other measures. The formulation of these strategies needs to be comprehensively considered based on factors such as the structural characteristics, working principle, and fault type of the DC step-up transformer. For example, for a DC bus line break fault, the ride-through strategy may include quickly disconnecting the fault line, starting the backup DC bus, and adjusting system parameters to ensure continuous power supply to the system. For a single-pole grounding fault, the ride-through strategy may include adjusting the grounding resistance value, balancing the voltage and current of the positive and negative poles, preventing the fault from further expanding, and monitoring the system status to determine whether further measures are needed.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, for a bipolar short-circuit fault, the ride-through strategy may include immediately shutting off power to the faulted area, isolating the faulty equipment, activating backup protection devices to protect other normally operating equipment, and quickly restoring system operation. When developing a fault ride-through strategy, it is necessary to fully consider the system's response and recovery capabilities under various fault scenarios to ensure its effectiveness and reliability.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, to improve the efficiency and accuracy of fault ride-through, advanced control algorithms and intelligent decision-making technologies, such as fuzzy control and neural networks, can be used to optimize and control the fault ride-through process. At the same time, big data analysis and cloud computing can be used to mine and analyze historical fault data to discover patterns and trends in fault occurrence, providing a scientific basis for the formulation of fault ride-through strategies and a direction for continuous optimization.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, starting the fault ride-through strategy includes: If the first fault feature of any fault type is obtained, the fault ride-through strategy is activated; Switch the MPPT to the output side DC voltage control mode, and switch the DC converter from the low-voltage side DC voltage control mode to the open-loop rated frequency control mode; Determine whether overcurrent lockout occurs in the DC / DC converter during this process.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, starting the fault ride-through strategy further includes: If overcurrent lockout occurs, wait until the DC voltage on the high-voltage side returns to the rated value before judging it as a transient fault; Switch the MPPT to the maximum power point tracking control mode and the DC step-up transformer to the fixed low-voltage side DC voltage control mode. If the DC voltage recovers, it is determined to be a temporary fault. The DC transformer is switched to the fixed low-voltage side DC voltage control mode, and the DC transformer is unlocked again. The system automatically resumes normal operation. If the DC voltage on the high-voltage side cannot be restored after the set time, it is judged as a permanent fault, the DC / DC converter is locked, and the switches on both sides are immediately tripped.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, starting the fault ride-through strategy further includes: If overcurrent blocking does not occur, wait until the DC voltage on the high-voltage side returns to the rated value, then it is judged as a transient fault; Switch the MPPT to the maximum power point tracking control mode, switch the DC step-up transformer to the low-voltage side DC voltage control mode, and the system resumes normal operation; If the DC voltage on the high-voltage side cannot be restored after the set time, it is judged as a permanent fault, the DC / DC converter is locked, and the switches on both sides are immediately tripped.

[0068] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, the photovoltaic array is the source of DC power in the system. It consists of multiple photovoltaic panels that convert sunlight into electricity. The MPPT controller ensures that the photovoltaic array always operates at its maximum power point under varying light and temperature conditions. This maximizes the energy output of the photovoltaic array. The MPPT controller typically adjusts the operating voltage and current of the photovoltaic array to achieve optimal power output. The DC boost converter boosts the lower voltage output of the photovoltaic array to a higher voltage level for subsequent inverter operation and grid connection. This converter increases the voltage while maintaining or increasing the current to meet grid connection requirements. The grid-connected inverter converts the boosted DC power into AC power and injects it into the grid. The inverter must meet grid standards such as frequency, voltage, and phase to ensure safe grid connection. The grid is the final destination for the power output of the grid-connected inverter. The grid is typically a three-phase AC system, and the AC power output of the inverter must be synchronized with the grid for stable grid connection.

[0069] like Figure 4 The figure shows a topology diagram of several parallel DC step-up transformers. This topology diagram shows the design of increasing the voltage level and transmission capacity of the DC system by connecting multiple DC step-up transformers in parallel. Each DC step-up transformer has independent input and output ports, and they are electrically isolated from each other to ensure stable operation. Figure 4 In the diagram, it can be clearly seen that the high-voltage and low-voltage sides of each DC step-up transformer are connected to the rest of the system via wires, forming an efficient energy transmission path. Furthermore, this topology diagram illustrates the layout considerations for practical applications of fault identification and ride-through methods, ensuring that when a fault occurs, the system can quickly identify and implement ride-through measures to maintain stable operation of the DC system.

[0070] In summary, the present invention proposes a method for identifying and crossing faults on the high-voltage side of a DC transformer, obtaining a first parameter on the high-voltage side of a target DC step-up transformer; the first parameter includes at least one of the following: positive and negative voltages and currents on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer; obtaining a first fault feature based on the first parameter; the first fault feature is used to identify the type of fault on the high-voltage side of the DC step-up transformer; a preset fault crossing strategy, if the first fault feature of any fault type is obtained, the fault crossing strategy is activated. By utilizing the local measurement information of the DC transformer, reliable identification and fault crossing of the DC fault of the aggregation system can be achieved, and it is not affected by the photovoltaic output, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of fault identification, and provides a new idea and method for fault diagnosis of the DC step-up transformer. By using the collaborative control and protection method, the accuracy and efficiency of fault identification are improved, and a new idea and method for fault diagnosis of the DC step-up transformer is provided.

[0071] Example 2, in a preferred embodiment, provides a detailed specific implementable operation steps, such as Figure 5 As shown, the voltage and current signals at the high-voltage side of the DC transformer are collected in real time. 、 、 、 , identify the high-voltage side fault of the DC transformer based on the voltage and current fault characteristics: If criterion (1) is met, a DC busbar disconnection fault occurs on the high-voltage side of the DC transformer, which is the first judgment criterion in this application.

[0072] (1) in, It is the fixed value of the pole bus current, which is generally set to 0.05pu in engineering. It is the set value of the DC bus current change rate, which is generally set to 0.2pu / 0.1ms in engineering.

[0073] If criterion (2) is met, a single-pole grounding fault occurs on the high-voltage side of the DC transformer, which is the second criterion in this application.

[0074] (2) in, It is the unbalanced voltage setting value of the positive and negative DC bus, which is generally set to 0.5pu in engineering. It is the extremely low DC bus voltage setting value, which is generally set to 0.3pu in engineering.

[0075] If criterion (3) is met, a bipolar short circuit fault occurs on the high voltage side of the DC transformer, which is the third criterion in this application.

[0076] (3) in, It is the fixed value of the pole bus voltage, which is generally set to 0.3pu in engineering. It is the set value of the DC bus current change rate, which is generally set to 0.2pu / 0.1ms in engineering.

[0077] Furthermore, after identifying a fault on the DC high-voltage side, the fault ride-through strategy is initiated; the MPPT is switched to the output-side DC voltage control mode, and the DC converter is switched from the low-voltage side DC voltage control mode to the open-loop rated frequency control mode; and it is determined whether the DC / DC converter has an overcurrent lockout during this process; If an overcurrent lockout occurs, wait until the high-voltage side DC voltage returns to rated value, then it is judged as a transient fault, the MPPT is switched to maximum power point tracking control mode, the DC step-up transformer is switched to low-voltage side DC voltage control mode, and the system is unlocked again to resume normal operation. If the high-voltage side DC voltage cannot be restored after the set time, it is judged as a permanent fault, the DC / DC converter is locked, and the switches on both sides are immediately tripped.

[0078] If overcurrent lockout does not occur, wait until the high-voltage side DC voltage returns to rated value, then it is judged as a transient fault, the MPPT is switched to maximum power point tracking control mode, the DC step-up transformer is switched to low-voltage side DC voltage control mode, and the system resumes normal operation; if the high-voltage side DC voltage cannot be restored after the set time, it is judged as a permanent fault, the DC / DC converter is locked, and the switches on both sides are immediately tripped.

[0079] It should be noted that by analyzing the fault characteristics of the high-voltage side of the DC transformer and reliably detecting the system fault condition based on the fault characteristics of the high-voltage side of the DC transformer, the fault ride-through strategy is then activated, switching the DC converter from the low-voltage side DC voltage control mode to the open-loop rated frequency control mode, waiting for the high-voltage side DC voltage to recover. After a set time, the DC voltage recovery is determined to determine whether it is a transient fault. The DC transformer is then switched to the low-voltage side DC voltage control mode, the DC transformer is unlocked again, and the system automatically resumes normal operation. This method is applicable to photovoltaic DC boost collection systems. Through the coordinated control and protection, it improves the accuracy and efficiency of fault identification and provides new ideas and methods for DC boost transformer fault diagnosis.
