Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system relay protection technology, and in particular to a comprehensive measurement and control protection method for prefabricated substations that integrates the monitoring of electrical and non-electrical quantities. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of distributed energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation, prefabricated substations, as key hubs connecting new energy power generation units and the power grid, are crucial for safe and stable operation. To meet the high demands of modern power grids for automation and reliability, the measurement and protection technology for prefabricated substations has gradually evolved from traditional single relay protection to integrated, intelligent microprocessor-based protection devices. These devices generally employ embedded microprocessor technology, enabling real-time monitoring of electrical quantities (such as current and voltage) within the substation and performing conventional electrical quantity protection such as overcurrent and overvoltage. Simultaneously, they achieve remote data transmission and control through communication interfaces, adapting to the "less-manned" operation mode of the substation.
[0003] However, existing technologies still have shortcomings in achieving comprehensive protection for prefabricated substations. First, the monitoring and protection logic for electrical and non-electrical quantities (such as transformer oil temperature, oil level, and gas pressure) is often fragmented. Non-electrical quantity protection typically functions as independent alarm or trip inputs, lacking deep integration and collaborative decision-making mechanisms with electrical quantity protection logic. This results in limited comprehensive fault judgment capabilities of the protection system, and the information dimension is singular, making it difficult to accurately and quickly diagnose the intrinsic correlation between electrical anomalies and changes in the physical state of equipment. Second, some existing protection schemes are not precise or robust enough in identifying abnormal operating conditions. For example, when a voltage transformer (TV) secondary circuit breaks, if the detection logic is incomplete, it can easily cause voltage-dependent protection functions (such as undervoltage and overvoltage protection) to malfunction or fail to operate, posing a threat to system safety.
[0004] CN104836340A discloses an intelligent monitoring system and method for monitoring the operation of prefabricated substations. This solution combines smart grid technology and internet technology in the prefabricated substation, achieving self-identification, self-diagnosis, self-monitoring, and self-action of the prefabricated substation through the introduction of compatible intelligent monitoring devices, reliable communication methods, and comprehensive communication protocols. However, this solution primarily relies on communication networking to monitor the operation of the prefabricated substation and does not mention the decision-making mechanism for electrical quantity protection and non-electrical quantity protection.
[0005] CN112993936B discloses an integrated protection method, system, terminal, and storage medium for prefabricated substations. This scheme calculates the sudden changes in starting current of the low-voltage outgoing lines and the sudden changes in current on the high-voltage side of the transformer to provide disconnection protection for the low-voltage outgoing lines, the transformer, and the low-voltage busbar. Furthermore, based on the amplitude of the transformer's low-voltage side current and the total amplitude of the currents from all low-voltage outgoing lines, it determines whether to implement delayed disconnection protection for the transformer and the low-voltage busbar. While the scheme mentions protection measures for electrical quantities, it primarily extends multi-level protection to the very end of the power system to improve power supply reliability, but it lacks consideration for the protection of non-electrical quantities.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive protection method that can integrate electrical and non-electrical quantity information, possess a unified collaborative decision-making logic, and have a high reliability in identifying key abnormal operating conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the integrated electrical and non-electrical quantity monitoring method for transformer substations described in this invention, the overcurrent protection judgment includes: The calculated value of any phase current among the collected three-phase currents is compared with at least one preset overcurrent setting. If the calculated phase current value continues to be greater than the overcurrent setting value, then the delay timer is started; When the delay time reaches the preset time value corresponding to the overcurrent set value, it is determined that the overcurrent protection condition is met.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the integrated electrical and non-electrical quantity monitoring method for transformer substations described in this invention, the non-electrical quantity status signal includes at least one switching signal selected from transformer heavy gas, pressure release, low oil level, and high oil temperature.

When the sum of the three-phase voltages is detected to be greater than the first voltage threshold and the minimum line voltage is less than the preset second voltage threshold, it is determined to be a single-phase or two-phase TV disconnection. When the sum of the three-phase voltages is detected to be greater than the first voltage threshold, and the difference between the maximum line voltage and the minimum line voltage is greater than the second voltage threshold, it is determined to be a single-phase or two-phase TV disconnection. Upon determining that a three-phase TV circuit is open, a single-phase TV circuit is open, or a two-phase TV circuit is open, all electrical quantity protection functions that rely on voltage measurement are automatically locked.

[0027] Example 1 Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a comprehensive measurement, control, and protection method for prefabricated substations that integrates electrical and non-electrical quantity monitoring, including: S1. Collect multiple electrical analog and non-electrical status signals in the box-type substation, compare the collected electrical analog quantities with the preset electrical quantity protection settings, and generate electrical quantity protection judgment results according to the electrical quantity protection logic. Specifically, through the AC plug-in inside the NSC411U box-type substation monitoring and protection device, electrical analog quantities (signals) from the secondary side of the current transformer (CT) and voltage transformer (PT) on the high-voltage and low-voltage sides of the box-type substation are connected. For further reference, Figure 2These analog signals (such as three-phase currents Ia, Ib, Ic and three-phase voltages Ua, Ub, Uc) are passed through an AC converter module (this circuit includes an anti-interference filter to filter out high-frequency interference and signal glitches introduced by the field environment) and sent to a low-pass filter. The cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter is set according to the sampling frequency (for example, set to half of the Nyquist frequency). The core function of this low-pass filter is to prevent signal aliasing. Then, the analog signal modulated by the low-pass filter is forwarded to a high-speed, high-precision synchronous analog-to-digital converter (MUX) through a multiplexer. In the A / D converter, a digital signal stream is obtained. At this time, the analog-to-digital converter in synchronous state ensures that the current and voltage signals of all phases are sampled at exactly the same time, thus accurately preserving the phase relationship between various electrical quantities. Finally, through this A / D converter, and by sampling at a frequency much higher than the power frequency (such as 64 points or higher per cycle), the continuous analog waveform is converted into a discrete, high-fidelity digital sequence (composed of the original digital signal stream) for real-time calculation and analysis by the 32-bit high-performance microprocessor embedded in the NSC411U transformer substation measurement and control protection device. It should be explained that the original current and voltage waveforms are preserved in the converted digital sequence; Furthermore, the microprocessor will collect and calculate the specific values of electrical quantities in real time and continuously compare them with the electrical quantity protection settings (such as overcurrent settings, overvoltage settings, undervoltage settings, etc.) that the user or remote communication has stored in the NSC411U transformer substation measurement and control protection device in advance. It should be noted that the microprocessor does not directly use the original digital sequence for protection comparison, but instead performs real-time digital signal processing algorithms on the digital sequence to process the latest waveform data acquired in each sampling period. Preferably, the microprocessor of the present invention uses Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to execute digital signal processing algorithms; Specifically, through this algorithm, the microprocessor can accurately calculate the core characteristics of each electrical quantity from the sampled values. These core characteristics include the following: Effective values (RMS): Effective values of current in each phase and effective values of voltage in each line (phase); Phase angle: The angle of each electrical quantity relative to a reference phase; Symmetrical components: positive-sequence, negative-sequence, and zero-sequence currents and voltages; Frequency: The real-time operating frequency of the power grid; It should be noted that in practical applications, the calculation of these features is usually refreshed at an extremely high frequency (e.g., every few milliseconds), thus providing continuous and dynamic electrical characteristic quantities for protection logic judgment. Furthermore, it should be noted that the protection of the two power points on the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side in this invention is carried out completely independently. For the electrical analog quantities collected from the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side respectively, the NSC411U transformer substation monitoring and protection device will execute the entire process from signal frequency modulation, A / D conversion, digital signal processing to protection logic judgment in parallel and independently. Furthermore, the present invention integrates multiple electrical quantity protection judgment methods, and the microprocessor can execute at least one of the following protection judgments according to the configuration: For overcurrent protection judgment, taking a single-stage time-limit overcurrent protection as an example, the detailed judgment process is as follows: The microprocessor calculates the effective value of any phase current using the Fourier algorithm and compares this effective value with the user-preset value point by point (assuming the effective value "current segment I on side 1" is compared with the preset value "current segment II on side 1"). Once the effective value of the phase current is detected to be greater than the preset value, the microprocessor immediately starts an internal software delay timer associated with the preset value and driven by the microprocessor clock. The delay timer starts accumulating time from 0. If the count value of the timer reaches the preset value before the effective value of the phase current recovers below the preset value, the protection condition is confirmed to be met. At this time, it is determined that the overcurrent protection condition is met, and a protection judgment result flag is generated and set to "1" or "true". If the current recovers during the timing of the delay timer, the timer is reset to zero, and no judgment result is generated indicating that the condition is met. For undervoltage protection judgment, the aim is to prevent damage to equipment due to excessively low system voltage or premature load energization during fault recovery. The microprocessor compares the real-time calculated effective values of line voltage or phase voltage with user-preset values. A judgment result is generated only when the following combined conditions are met: Voltage over-limit condition: The effective value of at least one phase voltage is continuously lower than the preset value; TV disconnection interlocking condition: Prior to this, the TV disconnection detection logic has not determined that a TV disconnection has occurred; Load current blocking condition (optional): To distinguish between normal low voltage of unloaded lines and abnormal low voltage under load, a preset value can be configured. The low voltage protection will only be blocked when the line current is less than the blocking current setting value. Dynamic rate of change blocking condition: To prevent protection maloperation caused by normal system fluctuations, the microprocessor will also calculate the voltage rate of change in real time; only when the absolute value of the voltage rate of change is less than the preset voltage rate of change threshold is the voltage drop considered to be a stable state, and the low voltage protection logic is allowed to continue to execute. Unbalance blocking condition: In order to ensure the response to systemic low voltage under the condition of three-phase basic balance, the microprocessor calculates the negative sequence component of the voltage and only activates the low voltage protection when the negative sequence line voltage is less than a very small threshold (5V), thereby blocking the non-systemic voltage drop caused by unbalance faults such as single-phase grounding. Delay conditions: After all the above conditions (i.e., voltage over-limit condition, TV disconnection lockout condition, load current lockout condition (optional), dynamic change rate lockout condition, and unbalance lockout condition) are met, the delay timer associated with the preset value is started. When the timer reaches the preset duration, it is finally determined that the undervoltage protection condition is met. In addition, the present invention will also perform judgments on zero-sequence overcurrent, overvoltage and overload protection. The implementation method is similar to the above-mentioned overcurrent protection, that is, by comparing the real-time calculated value with the corresponding set value and combining the delay time to generate the judgment result, which will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, to prevent voltage circuit abnormalities from causing false tripping or failure to trip of voltage protection, the present invention performs a TV disconnection detection step before performing voltage-related protection judgments: When it is detected that the phase voltage of all three phases is lower than a preset first voltage threshold (8V), and at this time the load current of at least one phase is greater than a preset current threshold (0.25A), it is determined that the three-phase TV is disconnected. If the sum of the calculated three-phase voltages is greater than the first voltage threshold (excluding three-phase open circuits), but one of the following two conditions is met, it is determined to be a single-phase or two-phase TV open circuit: When the minimum line voltage is detected to be less than a preset second voltage threshold (16V), it is determined to be a single-phase or two-phase TV disconnection. When the difference between the maximum line voltage and the minimum line voltage is detected to be greater than the second voltage threshold, it is also determined to be a single-phase or two-phase TV disconnection. Once any TV disconnection is detected, all electrical quantity protection functions that heavily rely on voltage measurement (such as overvoltage protection and undervoltage protection) will be automatically locked immediately, and a "TV disconnection" judgment result will be generated. Specifically, after performing the above operations, one or more clear electrical quantity protection judgment results are output, such as "Overcurrent I-stage condition on side 1 is met", "TV disconnection has occurred", or "Electrical quantity is normal", etc. S2. Monitor non-electrical quantity status signals and generate non-electrical quantity protection judgment results based on non-electrical quantity protection logic; Furthermore, the NSC411U prefabricated substation monitoring and protection device receives non-electrical status (contact) signals from outside the prefabricated substation through its dedicated digital input terminals; Specifically, the non-electrical status signals include switching signals for transformer heavy gas activation, pressure relief valve activation, low oil level, and excessively high oil temperature. In addition to the aforementioned switching signals, this non-electrical status signal can also be an analog signal reflecting the transformer's status, such as the main transformer oil temperature signal acquired through a 4-20mA current loop or a PT100 platinum resistance thermometer. The processing procedure for this type of analog signal is as follows: For 4-20mA or PT100 analog signals, a dedicated conditioning circuit (such as precision resistor sampling and signal amplification) is first used to convert them into voltage signals that match the input range of the A / D converter. Then, the A / D converter digitizes these signals to obtain a digital value representing the real-time temperature. Next, a microprocessor compares this real-time temperature value with a preset temperature setpoint (e.g., 100℃) corresponding to an "over-temperature delay time." If the real-time temperature value continuously exceeds this setpoint and reaches the preset "over-temperature delay time," the protection logic queries the status of the soft switch corresponding to the "main transformer over-temperature" protection. If the switch is engaged, a "main transformer over-temperature trip" judgment result is generated; if the switch is disengaged, a "main transformer over-temperature alarm" judgment result is generated. This judgment result is stored for subsequent comprehensive decision-making. It should be explained that since the external non-electrical quantity status (contact) signal is usually an active contact (such as AC220V), when the signal enters the NSC411U transformer substation monitoring and protection device, it will first pass through the opto-isolation circuit to achieve safe isolation between the external high-voltage signal and the internal CPU low-voltage system, while effectively suppressing interference. Furthermore, by continuously scanning the status of all digital input terminals with high-frequency polling by the microprocessor in the NSC411U transformer substation monitoring and protection device, when the level of a terminal changes (for example, from low level to high level), the microprocessor can immediately identify the change and map it to a specific non-electrical event according to the preset terminal definition (for example, the change of the DI-05 port corresponds to "main transformer heavy gas operation"). Furthermore, upon receiving a specific non-electrical event, similar to the aforementioned microprocessing steps, a protection action result is not immediately generated; instead, the non-electrical protection logic is executed first. To prevent false alarms caused by momentary sensor jitter or interference, upon receiving any switching signal among the non-electrical quantity status signals, an independent delay timer corresponding to that signal type is activated. The delay duration of this timer is determined by a preset value set by the user in the NSC411U transformer substation monitoring and protection device, such as "heavy gas delay time" or "main transformer pressure release delay." During or after the delay timer's timing, the microprocessor accesses the protection parameter configuration area stored in non-volatile memory to query the status of the protection enable / disable soft switch corresponding to the current non-electrical quantity event, in order to determine whether the final output behavior of the protection is tripping or only alarming. For example, for "main transformer heavy gas" protection, it will query whether its corresponding "main transformer heavy gas" switch is in an "enabled" or "disabled" state. Only after the non-electrical quantity status signal continues for the preset delay time will the final non-electrical quantity protection judgment result be generated based on the queried soft pressure plate status. If the soft pressure plate is in the "engaged" state, it is determined that the non-electrical protection action conditions are met. At this time, a protection action judgment result will be generated (for example, an event code for "heavy gas protection trip" will be generated). This judgment result will serve as an important basis for comprehensive decision-making and will directly lead to the output of the trip command. If the soft pressure plate is in the "exit" state, only one alarm message will be generated. At this time, although the non-electrical event is confirmed, the protection logic determines that it should not trigger a trip, but instead generates a lower-level "alarm" judgment result (for example, generating an event code for "heavy gas operation alarm"). As mentioned above, this judgment result will be used as an important basis for comprehensive decision-making. Furthermore, because what is triggered is the output of an alarm signal (such as lighting up the panel alarm light or uploading remote alarm information), it will not cause the circuit breaker to operate. It should be noted that the soft pressure plate is a software control word or flag bit, which can be adjusted by the user through the human-machine interface or remote communication; S3. Based on the judgment results of electrical quantity protection and non-electrical quantity protection, make a comprehensive protection decision to determine whether the preset protection action conditions are met; Furthermore, an event arbitration logic is built inside the microprocessor of the NSC411U transformer substation measurement and control protection device. This event arbitration logic continuously and in real time receives and evaluates the electrical quantity protection judgment result generated in step S1 and the non-electrical quantity protection judgment result generated in step S2. It should be noted that the core decision-making mechanism of this event arbitration logic is a decision matrix based on event priority. This matrix predefines the response level (e.g., "tripping level", "alarm level", or "normal level") of all possible protection judgment results generated by steps S1 and S2. Its decision-making process follows the following principles: Highest priority processing (tripping-level events): First, the event arbitration logic checks the judgment results of all inputs. If the electrical quantity protection judgment result contains any event pointing to tripping, for example, if step S1 determines that the protection conditions of "current stage I on side 1" or "current stage II on side 1" are met (i.e., the current exceeds the limit and arrives after a delay), then the result is considered a valid "tripping" request, i.e., an electrical quantity tripping event. Alternatively, if the non-electrical quantity protection judgment result contains any tripping event confirmed by a soft pressure plate in the "on" state, for example, if step S2 determines that "main transformer heavy gas operation" and its corresponding soft pressure plate is in the "on" state, thus generating a judgment result of "heavy gas protection tripping", then the result is also considered a valid "tripping" request, i.e., a non-electrical quantity tripping event. Once at least one tripping event is detected, the event arbitration logic no longer evaluates other low-priority alarm information, directly determines the comprehensive decision result as "meets the preset protection operation conditions", and generates a final action instruction code carrying the highest priority tripping reason (such as "overcurrent stage I on side 1" or "main transformer heavy gas"). Secondary priority processing (alarm-level events): If no trip-level event is detected in the current processing cycle, the event arbitration logic will continue to scan for events defined as alarm-level events. For example, if step S1 determines that a "TV disconnection" has occurred, a "TV disconnection alarm" judgment result is generated, which is an electrical quantity alarm event. Alternatively, if step S2 determines that a "main transformer oil level is low" has occurred, but its corresponding soft pressure plate is in an "exit" state, a "main transformer oil level low alarm" judgment result is generated, which is a non-electrical quantity alarm event. If the above alarm events are detected, the result of the comprehensive decision is "protection action conditions are not met" (i.e., no tripping), but one or more corresponding alarm command codes will be generated to drive panel lights, buzzers, or upload remote alarm information. Default state (normal level): If no "trip level" or "alarm level" event is found after scanning all inputs, the overall decision result is "protection action conditions are not met", and the device maintains normal monitoring state; It should be noted that by constructing a comprehensive protection decision, it is ensured that any serious fault that reaches the tripping level (whether electrical or physical) can be responded to without discrimination and with the highest priority. S4. When the integrated protection decision meets the preset protection action conditions, output control commands to drive the associated circuit breaker to operate. Furthermore, once the microprocessor in the NSC411U transformer substation monitoring and protection device receives the final action instruction code carrying the tripping reason issued by the event arbitration logic in step S3, it immediately starts the output processing program. The core task of this program is to map the logic instruction to the physical output. Furthermore, the microprocessor queries the internal preset output matrix configuration table based on the received action command code (e.g., "overcurrent stage I trip" or "main transformer heavy gas trip"). This configuration table defines the mapping relationship between each protection event and one or more physical output relays (DO), allowing users to flexibly configure which fault triggers which circuit breaker to trip. When the target output relay is located, the microprocessor sends a high-level signal to the relay's drive circuit through its I / O port. The drive circuit uses a 24V DC power supply provided by the device's internal power supply plug, isolated from the microprocessor, to excite the coil of the target output relay. After the coil is energized, its armature actuates, causing the normally open contact (NO) of the relay to close instantaneously. The closing action of this contact is the physical entity of the output control command in this invention. Specifically, for the closed output relay contacts, both ends are connected externally to the trip coil circuit of the associated circuit breaker inside the prefabricated substation. When the contacts are closed, the circuit is activated, allowing a strong operating current (in the range of 0.5A to 4A) to flow through the circuit breaker's trip coil. After being excited by the strong current, the trip coil generates sufficient electromagnetic force to drive the circuit breaker's tripping mechanism and release its mechanical latch. At this time, the circuit breaker can quickly trip under the action of the energy storage spring, thereby cutting off the fault current within milliseconds (the inherent action time of the fast-acting section is less than 40ms), isolating the fault point, and protecting the safety of the transformer and related power equipment. Furthermore, after outputting control commands to drive the circuit breaker, the microprocessor triggers the following tasks in parallel to ensure the integrity and traceability of fault information: The first task is for the microprocessor to immediately generate a structured event record from the fault event information that triggered this control command (including fault type, action time accurate to milliseconds, electrical quantity values at the time of the fault, and protective elements that were activated), and store it in non-volatile memory for future reference. At the same time, the NSC411U transformer substation monitoring and protection device will immediately lock the ring waveform recording buffer that is running in its internal RAM. This buffer stores high-speed sampled waveform data of all key electrical analog quantities (such as Ia, Ib, Ic, Ua, Ub, Uc) in real time. According to the preset waveform recording strategy (e.g., "4 cycles before the fault, 6 cycles after the fault"), the microprocessor extracts complete waveform data segments before and after the fault occurrence time from the buffer to form a fault waveform recording file, and also transfers the fault waveform recording file to non-volatile memory. The second task is to push the circuit breaker action to the communication processing module of the NSC411U transformer substation monitoring and protection device. This module encapsulates the protection action event into a remote signaling change (SOE) message through a preset communication protocol (such as IEC-103 / 104 or Modbus), and actively uploads it to the remote monitoring center or back-end master station through RS485 or Ethernet interface. This allows operators to know the fault trip information of the transformer substation as soon as possible, thus realizing the "remote signaling" function in the "four remote" functions and improving the flexibility and intelligence level of transformer substation operation and maintenance.
