Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for realizing dead-zone-free configuration of differential protection of a pumped storage power station, belonging to the technical field of power system relay protection. Background Art

[0002] Currently, differential protection for pumped-storage power station units and main transformers is generally configured as follows: unit differential protection and small differential protection, and main transformer differential protection and small differential protection, based on their actual protection ranges. The generator motor and main transformer are each equipped with two sets of differential protection. The protection ranges of both the unit differential protection and the main transformer differential protection include the generator output circuit breaker (GCB), achieving cross-configuration. However, during unit startup conditions in the pumping direction, when both the commutation switch and the output circuit breaker are actually open, the GCB receives a low-frequency current on the unit side, which cannot form a differential circuit with the main transformer high-voltage branch current, the auxiliary power branch current, and the SFC branch current. This can directly lead to false activation of the main transformer differential protection. To eliminate the impact of the unit startup branch current circuit, this solution blocks the unit differential protection and the main transformer differential protection, retaining only the unit differential protection and the main transformer differential protection, which are unaffected by the unit's operating conditions. The disadvantage of this solution is that when the unit is started in the pumping direction, since the two sets of large differentials are locked, only two sets of small differentials are retained. As a result, if a fault occurs in the area from the phase change switch to the GCB, no differential protection can be activated, and there is a protection dead zone. At this time, the protection device can only rely on the backup protection to coordinate the action, sacrificing the sensitivity and speed of the protection, which is not good for the protected equipment.
