Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the intersection of power grid disaster prevention and mitigation, electromagnetic compatibility, and autotransformer protection technologies, and particularly to a GIC blocking method under geomagnetic disturbances based on real-time reactive power monitoring of transformers. Background Technology

[0002] Intense geomagnetic disturbances induce quasi-DC GIC on the Earth's surface, which flows into the power grid through the neutral point of the autotransformer, causing half-wave saturation of the autotransformer core. This can lead to distortion of the autotransformer's excitation current, a surge in reactive power, and the generation of a large number of harmonics. It may also cause relay malfunctions, cascading failures, and ultimately result in widespread power outages.

[0003] Existing technologies for defending against geomagnetic induced currents mainly revolve around two aspects: "monitoring" and "blocking".

[0004] At the level of monitoring geomagnetic induced current, based on the structure and physical principles of autotransformers, and by analyzing the autotransformer saturation model, the equivalent excitation inductance and magnetic flux relationship of the autotransformer model under GIC intrusion are linearized. A fixed proportional coefficient is derived between the amplitude of geomagnetic induced current and the reactive power increment generated by the autotransformer. Then, by using synchronous phasor measurement units (PMUs) widely deployed in the power grid to measure reactive power in real time, the intensity of the GIC intrusion is deduced in reverse, providing a basis for subsequent defense decisions.

[0005] In terms of GIC blocking technology, the main approach is to connect a capacitor or resistor in series at the neutral point to increase the impedance of the geomagnetic induced current loop flowing into the autotransformer, thereby reducing the amplitude of GIC.

[0006] Although the aforementioned technologies have been applied in practice, this paper points out significant problems and risks: First, the monitoring and evaluation methods suffer from accuracy deficiencies. The traditional K-value method is based on a simplified linear magnetization model. However, the BH curve of the autotransformer core material is nonlinear, especially in the deep saturation region, where its equivalent inductance drops sharply. At this point, the ratio of GIC to reactive power increment changes significantly. This measurement result based on inaccurate estimation will lead to inaccurate GIC prediction, potentially resulting in insufficient or excessive protection, failing to effectively protect critical equipment, or adding extra burden to the system when unnecessary.

[0007] Secondly, there are negative impacts and secondary risks associated with traditional blocking techniques: While series fixed resistors can reduce GIC, they can affect the grounding configuration of the power system and the operating characteristics of relay protection, potentially leading to new safety hazards; series capacitor methods can alter the GIC distribution path of the entire power grid. Blockage at one node may cause GIC to flow to other nearby autotransformers or substations, resulting in a regional increase in GIC levels, or even more serious consequences. Summary of the Invention

Specifically: This embodiment considers the GIC amplitude under geomagnetic disturbances.

At this point, the total reactive power loss of the autotransformer will decrease. Q Meeting It increases rapidly. Assume the primary voltage of the autotransformer... U 1. Maintain peak performance during GIC intrusion U m Given the rated power frequency AC voltage, neglecting core hysteresis and eddy current losses, the formula for calculating the reactive power loss of an autotransformer under DC bias is: (1) In the formula: U 1 indicates the effective value of the rated fundamental frequency voltage; I 1 represents the effective value of the fundamental frequency current obtained by Fourier decomposition of the waveform; according to Figure 6 As shown, it can convert the excitation current of the autotransformer Decompose the excitation current Divided into DC component, i.e., GIC amplitude RMS value of fundamental frequency component I 1. Two parts, then (2) Substituting equation (2) into equation (1), we can obtain the relationship between the reactive power loss of the autotransformer and the duty cycle as follows: (3) This embodiment, as shown in equation (3), can achieve the following: Q Decompose into reactive power loss under normal conditions Q 0 plus the reactive power consumed by the magnetizing inductance Its corresponding I 1 has two parts; at the same time, it can be known from equation (3) that the intrusion into the autotransformer under geomagnetic disturbance is The reactive power loss of an autotransformer is only related to the flux angle. θ The remaining parameters are constants. Therefore, if the intermediate function of the reactive power loss of the autotransformer can be obtained... use intermediate functions This means that it is possible to establish the relationship between reactive power and direct current. The relationships between them. For example... Figure 15 The function shown is... and The graph shows that the two curves are... θ The values ​​below a certain value exhibit almost identical trends, therefore it is assumed that a constant exists.

Plot the relationship between each function and the magnetic flux angle, such as... Figure 15 As shown. Because it makes θ >48.5° The value is very large, and it rarely exists in reality, so I will not go into further detail here.

[0020] In this embodiment, the bias DC current component caused by DC magnetic flux is ignored. ,based on K The value method estimates the GIC amplitude of the intrusion into the autotransformer based on the reactive power disturbance by introducing a fixed proportional coefficient. Its expression is: (5) In the formula: This represents the total reactive power loss of the autotransformer. This represents the reactive power loss of an autotransformer under normal conditions. This represents the reactive power consumed by the magnetizing inductance of the autotransformer under geomagnetic disturbance. Indicates the primary voltage of the autotransformer U 1.

As the final GIC amplitude If not satisfied, obtain the equivalent inductance of the autotransformer within one cycle of the current geomagnetic disturbance. And based on the simulation technology established by three-dimensional electromagnetic field circuit coupling, L mef - I dc The nonlinear curve is used to inversely deduce and obtain the corresponding equivalent inductance at this point. The final GIC amplitude The specific steps include: Under geomagnetic disturbances, the induced current-induced current-carrying capacity (GIC) in the power grid flows into the autotransformer. Since the frequency of GIC (0.0001Hz-0.01Hz) is a low-frequency component compared to the power frequency, it can be assumed that GIC remains constant within each power frequency cycle, i.e., it is a direct current. . The generated DC magnetic flux AC magnetic flux superimposed on normal operating conditions Above, the total magnetic flux will exceed the knee point magnetic flux. The autotransformer operates in the saturation region of the nonlinear magnetization curve, leading to half-wave saturation of the core and distortion of the excitation current, resulting in a spiked wave. Simultaneously, the equivalent inductance dynamically changes with the instantaneous value of the magnetic flux within the period. When the transformer's operating point transitions to the saturation region, leakage flux closes through the oil tank and the air gap between the core and the oil tank, thus reducing the equivalent inductance. The equivalent inductance decreases significantly; when the operating point of the autotransformer returns to the core saturation region, the equivalent inductance recovers accordingly, such as... Figure 4 As shown.

[0022] In other words, the magnetizing inductance of a transformer under geomagnetic disturbance is not a constant value, but a time-varying value. L ( t The equivalent inductance of a transformer over one cycle for: (6) set up Equivalent inductance The corresponding transformer magnetizing susceptance is then represented by the transformer equivalent Γ-type model as follows: Figure 5 As shown, this allows for the further calculation of the reactive power increment of the transformer under geomagnetic disturbances. The equivalent inductance of the transformer is then established. With GIC amplitude The quantitative correspondence between them is the key to calculating the reactive power disturbance of autotransformers and monitoring and maintaining the stable operation of the power grid under geomagnetic disturbances.

[0023] This embodiment aims to facilitate a quick and easy calculation of the transformer's equivalent inductance. A relatively simple method is to [the transformer core]. The curves are linearized, and the magnetization curves before and after core saturation are represented by two straight lines, such as... Figure 6 As shown.

Ignoring leakage inductance, the slopes of the straight lines at both ends represent the inductance in the unsaturated region of the transformer. and saturation region inductance L s Under geomagnetic disturbances, the excitation inductance exhibits the following changes: In the absence of geomagnetic disturbances or when the GIC amplitude is very small, if the peak value of the superimposed magnetic flux... The magnetic flux does not exceed the knee point, the iron core is unsaturated, and the transformer inductance remains constant before this point. The critical DC for: (7) In the formula: This represents the inductance in the non-saturation region of an autotransformer; Indicates the magnetic flux at the knee point; This represents the AC magnetic flux of an autotransformer under normal operating conditions. This represents the critical current at which the autotransformer's operating point enters the saturation region. S31: Determine the estimated GIC amplitude Does it meet the first preset threshold condition? Specifically, safety assessment and status classification: based on the obtained... The operating state of the autotransformer is divided into three zones: the safe zone ( < ): The autotransformer is not saturated and no intervention is required; Warning / Action Zone ( ≤ ≤ 1.5 ): Entering the saturation zone, triggering an early warning and preparing for intervention; Danger / Execution Zone ( >1.5 ): Deep saturation, immediately execute autotransformer blocking operation; In this embodiment, the first preset threshold condition is defined as: ; If satisfied, execute S32; otherwise, execute S33. S32: Estimate the GIC amplitude As the final GIC amplitude ; S33: Obtain the equivalent inductance of the autotransformer within one cycle of the current geomagnetic disturbance. And based on the simulation technology established by three-dimensional electromagnetic field circuit coupling, L mef - I dc The nonlinear curve is used to inversely deduce and obtain the corresponding equivalent inductance at this point. The final GIC amplitude The specific steps include: S331: Obtain the equivalent inductance of the autotransformer within one cycle of the current geomagnetic disturbance. for: (8) In the formula: L ( t () represents the time-varying value of the magnetizing inductance of the transformer under geomagnetic disturbance; Indicates a time period; S332: Direct current, i.e., GIC amplitude. Exceed Afterwards, the autotransformer's operating point enters the saturation region. Let the saturation time duty cycle of the autotransformer within one power frequency cycle be... Then the saturation angle is At this point, the magnetic flux relationship satisfies: ,in This represents the estimated GIC amplitude. The generated DC magnetic flux can be derived from equation (8): (9) Therefore, the equivalent inductance of the transformer under geomagnetic disturbance can be calculated. That is, the analytical expression of the equivalent inductance of an autotransformer under the simplified analytical method; S333: According to Figure 6 When the operating point of the autotransformer is in the core saturation region, the excitation current can be controlled by combining the magnetic flux relationship in S332. Defined as: (10) (11) In the formula: i n This represents the peak value of the rated excitation current, i.e. ; This represents the bias DC current component caused by DC magnetic flux. The excitation current portion representing the magnetic flux contribution in the saturation region; In this embodiment, the autotransformer excitation branch under geomagnetic disturbance can be regarded as such as Figure 7 The circuit shown: When < The autotransformer operates in the unsaturated region. Φ < The switch is off. L m = That is, the magnetizing inductance of the transformer is equal to the core inductance; when ≥ The autotransformer operates in the saturation region. Φ ≥ When the switch is closed, it can... See as and L s The parallel value is ; S334: Substitute equation (11) into equation (10) and adjust the excitation current. Performing Fourier decomposition yields: (12) For precise calculations The quantitative relationship between them requires different methods. The DC bias simulation of the transformer is performed by substituting the current calculated from the circuit model into a preset magnetic field model as excitation. Based on the principle of energy perturbation, the instantaneous inductance value at that moment is calculated and then substituted back into the circuit model to solve for the current at the next moment. In this embodiment, the ultra-high voltage transformer, which is most susceptible to geomagnetic disturbances, is selected as the research object. The ultra-high voltage transformer is a single-phase four-column structure. Figures 8 to 9 These represent the transformer's no-load circuit model and magnetic field model, respectively, established based on its structure. The circuit model contains... It is a DC voltage source. To shorten the series resistance during the transition process, r 1. r 2 represents the resistance of the high- and medium-voltage windings. u m , u 1. u 2 represents the power frequency AC voltage source, the primary voltage of the transformer, and the secondary voltage, respectively. Since the low-voltage winding is unloaded and has no electrical connection with the high- and medium-voltage windings, the low-voltage winding is ignored in the circuit model. L 1. L 2. M 12 These represent the self-inductance of the high-voltage and medium-voltage windings, the mutual inductance of the high-voltage and medium-voltage windings, and the total inductance of the transformer. L T = L 1+ L 2+2M 12 The solution of the differential equations of the circuit model is implemented through self-programming. A magnetic field model is established based on commercial finite element software. Since the ultra-high voltage transformer has a symmetrical structure, it can be simplified by setting appropriate boundary conditions to improve calculation speed. The 1 / 4 finite element model established in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 10 As shown. The finite element model is meshed. It is worth noting that the transformer windings need to be modeled using the edge-finite element method, as shown below. Figure 11 As shown, the method reduces the error caused by severe leakage flux under the saturated state of the iron core, and its effectiveness and accuracy have been verified.

[0024] In this embodiment, the autotransformer core is made of Nippon Steel's 27ZH095 silicon steel sheet. Figure 12 The silicon steel sheet is given. B - H Curves and equivalent inductance curves, saturation magnetic flux density along the rolling direction of silicon steel sheets The value is 1.75T. Under geomagnetic disturbance, the core hysteresis of the autotransformer may cause asymmetry in the dynamic change waveform of the excitation inductance, but the effect is very small and can be ignored.

[0025] Based on the finite element model of the UHV transformer established in this embodiment, a time-domain simulation of the DC bias magnetic field circuit coupling is performed, and the following is selected: =5, 10, 50 A represent the GIC intrusion into the transformer under different geomagnetic disturbance intensities. The simulation results of the transformer's DC bias magnetization are shown below, illustrating the changes in excitation current and instantaneous inductance over one cycle. Figure 13 As shown. In the first half-cycle, the degree of distortion of the excitation current increases with... The amplitude increased, but even Even a small amplitude of the excitation current will cause the transformer core to enter the deep saturation region, resulting in a very small instantaneous inductance. In the second half-cycle, the excitation current reaches a negative peak, which will also cause a certain degree of decrease in the transformer's equivalent inductance.

[0026] S335: To determine and Based on the three-dimensional electromagnetic field circuit coupling simulation technology, the correspondence between them can be rewritten as follows: (8) In the formula: h This represents the simulation step size for the magnetic circuit coupling of the autotransformer, which is set to (0.02 / 2000) s here; Represents the first [number]th ... k The instantaneous inductance values ​​at each time step are used to calculate the DC current values ​​at 5, 10, and 50 A. The values ​​were 18.91, 11.49, and 5.68H, respectively. This embodiment obtains the equivalent inductance corresponding to different DC currents through simulation analysis under different DC currents using equation (8). This leads to the establishment of a system for characterizing equivalent inductance.

The second preset threshold condition is... ; If satisfied, proceed to step S5; otherwise, proceed to step S6. S5: Monitor and confirm in real time whether geomagnetic disturbances still exist; If so, then by continuously looping through steps S1 to S4, using reactive power disturbance feedback from the synchronous phasor measurement unit combined with the adjustment of the adjustable resistor, the final GIC amplitude is obtained. The second preset threshold condition is met to ensure that GIC is always suppressed, thereby achieving GIC blocking under geomagnetic disturbance based on real-time reactive power monitoring of autotransformer; otherwise, the loop ends. S6: Based on empirical values, adjust the adjustable resistor in the GIC blocking device and repeat S1 to S4.

[0027] During geomagnetic disturbances, transformers subjected to excessively high amplitude GIC (Geomagnetic Intrusion) may suffer equipment damage and trigger collective reactive power interference, thereby impairing grid voltage stability. To address this issue, this embodiment analyzes and simplifies the operating state of the transformer core under DC bias, establishes a method for calculating the equivalent inductance of the transformer during geomagnetic disturbance events, and further determines the correspondence between the equivalent inductance and reactive power increment of the transformer under DC bias and GIC. This is verified through three-dimensional finite element simulation and experimental methods. This series of works shows that: 1) the traditional K-value method has errors in calculating the reactive power increment of the transformer under GIC, especially when the GIC amplitude is large; 2) the correspondence between the GIC amplitude and the reactive power increment of the transformer can be obtained more accurately through transformer core parameters; 3) during geomagnetic disturbances, the GIC amplitude flowing into the transformer can be derived by reverse calculation of the transformer reactive power measured by the PMU (Power Management Unit). Based on this, this embodiment proposes a real-time GIC blocking method based on PMU measurement. This method can effectively avoid the secondary risks caused by traditional neutral point series capacitors or resistors, realize real-time and accurate adjustment of GIC flowing into the power grid, effectively reduce voltage fluctuations caused by reactive power increments derived from transformers, and ensure the safety of equipment and power grid under geomagnetic disturbances.

[0028] To verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the method described in this embodiment, the GIC amplitude after the new device is deployed is calculated using the GIC-Benchmark standard example. For example... Figure 16 As shown, the GIC-Benchmark power grid consists of 20 busbars, 15 lines, 7 substations, 1 switching station, and 15 transformers. The blue portion represents high-voltage (345kV) transmission lines, and the red portion represents ultra-high-voltage (500kV) transmission lines. It is evident that the GIC-Benchmark includes various scenarios such as different winding connection methods, different transformer combinations, and single (double) circuit transmission lines, making it suitable for verifying the effectiveness of this novel GIC suppression measure. For ease of comparison, except for T1, it is assumed that all remaining 14 transformers have this GIC blocking device installed at their neutral points. The GIC amplitude at each node in the east direction (1V / km) before and after applying the method described in this embodiment is compared with the GIC amplitude at each node in the north direction (1V / km) before and after applying the method described in this embodiment. Figures 17 to 18 As shown, it can be observed that after applying this GIC blocking device, the GIC amplitude flowing through each substation has decreased significantly, which will not have a serious impact on the safe operation of the transformer. Furthermore, the GIC distribution in each substation is relatively balanced, and it will not pose any additional risks to the system.
