Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible direct current distribution network, and in particular to a bipolar short-circuit fault protection and distance measurement device and method for an MMC type distribution network. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of new energy technologies, distributed power sources have emerged, and DC loads have been connected in large numbers. DC distribution systems have more advantages than AC distribution systems. They have the advantages of large power supply capacity, high power quality, flexible control, low power loss, and excellent economy. In addition, the widespread application of power electronics technology has also accelerated the development of DC distribution systems. Compared with VSC, modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are easy to expand and have low switching losses. Therefore, they are very popular in the field of DC distribution networks. However, during the operation of DC distribution network systems, line disconnection faults, single-pole grounding faults and bipolar short-circuit faults often occur, and bipolar short-circuit faults occur the most frequently among the above three faults and are the most harmful. Fault location is one of the key technologies for reliable and high-quality power supply in DC distribution networks.

[0003] Since the DC transmission and distribution system has "low impedance" and "weak inertia", when a bipolar short circuit fault occurs in the DC line, its fault current will rise rapidly, causing a huge impact on the modular multilevel converter (MMC). If no measures are taken, it will even endanger the safe and stable operation of the entire system. Therefore, after a bipolar short circuit fault occurs in the DC system, it is necessary to limit the short circuit current in time, release the energy stored in the capacitor, accurately locate the fault, take measures, and eliminate the fault. Ensure that the system resumes normal and stable operation in a short time and reduce the losses caused by the fault. However, the traditional distance measurement method is affected by the branch current of the distribution network, which will cause a large error in the measured fault distance. In addition, the transmission distance of the DC distribution system is short, generally not exceeding 10km, so the traveling wave method fault distance measurement requires a higher frequency requirement and also has certain defects.
