Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system fault protection technology, and in particular to a method for energy over-limit protection of a controllable self-recovering energy dissipation device. Background Technology
[0002] The rapid development of ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission has effectively filled the power gap in load centers and reduced coal consumption, playing a vital role in promoting economic development and environmental protection in these areas. However, due to the relatively weak sending-end power grid, limited conventional power generation capacity, and low voltage withstand capability of wind turbines, when a receiving-end commutation failure disturbance occurs in the UHVDC transmission system, the rectifier station firing angle increases, and the bus voltage of the sending-end converter station decreases, causing wind turbines near the sending-end to enter a low-voltage ride-through state. During the commutation failure recovery period, the rectifier station firing angle decreases, and the large amount of surplus reactive power at the converter station will cause wind turbines and other surrounding grid equipment to experience varying degrees of overvoltage, leading to wind turbine disconnection. When some wind turbines disconnect due to high voltage, the power flow on the line becomes lighter, and capacitive reactive power compensation becomes excessive, further increasing the surrounding voltage and subsequently triggering a chain reaction of wind turbine disconnections. These overvoltage problems severely restrict the stable operation of the UHVDC transmission system.
[0003] Taking the Zhalute-Qingzhou UHVDC transmission project as an example, its transmission capacity is 10,000 MW, and its rated DC current is 6,250 A. It was put into operation in bipolar mode in 2017 and is an important energy transmission channel for Northeast China. It can effectively solve the problem of power curtailment in Northeast China, promote wind power consumption, and reduce wind curtailment rates. If a commutation failure or DC fault blockage occurs at the receiving end of the DC system, it will cause transient overvoltage on the AC bus of the sending end, the Zhalute converter station. Due to the limitations of the near-area grid system of the Zhalute converter station, in order to ensure that the AC bus overvoltage of the converter station does not exceed 1.3 pu, the transmission power of the Zhalute-Qingzhou DC system needs to be limited to below 6,800 MW, which is not conducive to the full utilization of the large DC energy channel.
[0004] When a bipolar DC fault occurs under high power conditions (bipolar commutation failure, bipolar blocking, bipolar line restart), the AC system and AC filter generate a large amount of excess reactive power during the DC power interruption, causing transient overvoltages exceeding the system control level (1.3 pu) at the Zhalute converter station, which is the main problem constraining DC power. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the above-mentioned situation of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide an energy over-limit protection method for a controllable self-recovering energy dissipation device, which improves equipment utilization, effectively solves the system overvoltage problem, further improves the system's fault ride-through capability, and enhances the safety and stability of the power grid system.

[0017] Furthermore, the effective absorbed energy value L is calculated according to the following formula. n ':
[0018] L n '=L n-1 -K·Δt+L n
[0019] Where K is the energy absorption capacity of the surge arrester to recover per unit time, and Δt is the interval between two adjacent energy impacts.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S4, if no further activation is performed, the surge arrester is allowed to cool down naturally.
[0021] Furthermore, it also includes:
[0022] If Q1≤L1≤Q2, then T=T1;
[0023] If L1≥Q2, then T=T2;
[0024] Where Q2 is the second energy threshold, Q2>Q1, T2>T1.
[0025] Furthermore, it also includes:
[0026] If Q1≤L n If '≤Q2, then T=T1;
[0027] If L n If '≥Q2, then T=T2;
[0028] Where Q2 is the second energy threshold, Q2>Q1, T2>T1.
[0029] Furthermore, the first energy threshold and the second energy threshold satisfy:

Figure 1 As shown, the controllable self-recovering energy dissipation device includes N parallel-connected fixed surge arrester elements, N parallel-connected controlled surge arrester elements, a trigger switch, and a bypass switch, where N is a natural number. The trigger switch and bypass switch are both connected in parallel to the controlled surge arrester elements and are switched on or off according to an activation command to activate or deactivate the controlled surge arrester elements.

[0037] S1. After the first input is completed, obtain the energy value L1 and time t1 of this input. The first input is based on the following steps: check whether the input is valid; if valid, then perform the first input. After the controllable self-recovering energy dissipation device control system is powered on, it checks whether the input is valid by self-checking the initial state of the surge arrester. If invalid, no input logic is executed; if valid, then perform the first input.
[0038] S2. Determine whether the energy value L1 exceeds the first energy threshold Q1. If it does, proceed to step S3; if it does not, proceed to step S4.
[0039] S3. Lock the device. After the device is locked, allow it to cool for a first predetermined time T, then resume normal operation of the device and return to step S1.

Calculate the effective absorbed energy value L according to the following formula. n ':
[0041] L n '=L n-1 -K·Δt+L n
[0042] Where K is the energy absorption capacity of the surge arrester to recover per unit time, and Δt is the interval between two adjacent energy impacts.
[0043] If no further action is taken, wait for the surge arrester to cool down naturally. Then, return to this step and reassess.
[0044] S5. Determine the effective absorbed energy value L. n 'Whether the first energy threshold Q1 is exceeded. If it is exceeded, proceed to step S3; if it is not exceeded, proceed to step S4.'
[0045] The first specified time T can be set according to the following conditions: if Q1≤L1≤Q2, then T=T1; if L1≥Q2, then T=T2; where Q2 is the second energy threshold, Q2>Q1, and T2>T1.

The first and second energy thresholds, for example, satisfy: Q2 = Q1 * 120%. In this embodiment of the invention, in step S2, it is assumed that the absorbed energy is L1, and it is determined whether L1 is greater than or equal to 200 MJ (the rated absorbed energy of the device is 200 MJ). If it is greater than the rated absorbed energy, it is directly blocked. If the surge arrester absorbs energy greater than or equal to 200 MJ and less than 240 MJ (including 20% hot reserve energy), the device's unusable time is determined to be 7.5 hours based on the surge arrester's heat dissipation curve; if the surge arrester absorbs energy greater than or equal to 240 MJ, the device's unusable time is determined to be 10 hours based on the surge arrester's heat dissipation curve. Similarly, if 200 MJ ≤ L1, the device's unusable time is determined to be 10 hours based on the surge arrester's heat dissipation curve. n If L < 240MJ, then the device is unavailable for time T = T1, where T1 is determined to be 7.5h based on the surge arrester's heat dissipation curve; if L n If the surge arrester has a surge charge of ≥240MJ, then the device will be unavailable for a period of time T = T2, where T2 is determined to be 10 hours based on the surge arrester's heat dissipation curve.
