Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of power grid line protection, in particular to a flexible DC power grid single-ended line protection method based on time-domain voltage traveling wave. BACKGROUND

[0002] The flexible DC power grid based on modular multilevel converter has become one of the development trends of future smart grid due to its low harmonic content, no commutation failure problem, independent control of reactive power and active power, and low operating loss. At present, overhead lines have become the main power transmission mode of flexible DC power grid, and the probability of DC line fault is high. Due to the small inertia and low damping of flexible DC power grid, the fault current has large amplitude and fast rising speed, which will endanger the entire power grid within a few milliseconds, which puts extremely strict requirements on the speed of line protection. The protection needs to complete the export within 3ms to ensure the safe and stable operation of the entire system. Therefore, it is an urgent need for the development of DC power grid to study line protection that can quickly and accurately identify faults.

[0003] According to whether a communication channel is needed, flexible DC power grid line protection can be divided into two categories. One is double-ended protection, which needs to exchange information at both ends of the line to realize fault identification. The prior art proposes a flexible DC power grid pilot protection based on linear regression, which uses the regression coefficient of the current at both ends of the line within a short time window to identify faults and select poles. The prior art proposes a DC transmission line pilot protection based on F-test of low-frequency fault component, which uses the difference in the change trend of fault currents at both ends of the line under internal and external faults to identify faults. The prior art proposes a high-voltage DC line pilot protection based on transient energy ratio of DC filter link, which uses the energy ratio value on both sides of the line boundary to distinguish internal and external faults. However, in long-distance power transmission, the large communication delay will significantly reduce the action speed of double-ended protection. At this time, only single-ended protection is expected to meet the requirements of flexible DC power grid on protection speed.

[0004] Another type is single-ended protection, which only needs line single-ended information to realize fault identification. The prior art uses the difference between the Hilbert energy amplitude and the waveform information under internal and external faults to construct a fault identification criterion, but this method is for ultra-high voltage direct current transmission systems and is difficult to apply in flexible direct current grids; the prior art designs a time-domain single-ended protection based on the concave-convex of the voltage integral of the current limiting reactor according to the significant difference in the integral of the line mode voltage under internal and external faults, but this protection is for bipolar flexible direct current transmission systems and its adaptability in flexible direct current grids remains to be verified; the prior art proposes a line single-ended protection based on the first traveling wave curvature according to the difference between the first traveling wave curvature under internal and external faults, which has improved the transition resistance resistance, but the protection may malfunction under reverse direction faults; the prior art uses the attenuation effect of the current limiting reactor on the high-frequency component of the transient voltage to construct an internal and external fault identification method based on high-frequency transient energy, which can tolerate a transition resistance of 200Ω, but does not consider the influence of lightning interference; the prior art proposes a new fault identification method based on the model identification idea according to the matching degree of the internal and external fault models and the measured electrical quantities, but this protection does not consider the influence of lightning interference. The above prior arts have studied and improved the single-ended protection of direct current lines, but have not well solved the problems of internal remote high-resistance fault rejection and lightning interference malfunction.

[0093] Based on the aforementioned flexible DC grid single-ended line protection method based on time-domain voltage traveling waves, a system is built in PSCAD as follows: Figure 2 The simulation model of the flexible DC power grid shown is based on P. 11 Taking the protection as an example, the performance of the proposed single-ended quantity protection is verified by adopting the following method: Figure 3 The circuit model shown is configured to have a short-circuit fault or lightning strike occurring at "time 0", with a sampling frequency of 50kHz.

[0094] Due to the nonlinearity of DC systems, it is generally difficult to set the DC protection settings through simple calculations. Digital simulation is typically used to determine the settings for various protections. Table 1 shows the setting values ​​for each protection criterion after traversing relevant short-circuit faults or lightning interference.

[0095] Table 1 Protection Criterion Setting Values

[0096]

[0097] 1. Short-circuit fault analysis outside the zone

[0098] for Figure 2 Installed in P 11 For protection purposes, non-zone short-circuit faults mainly include: reverse short-circuit faults (f5~f7) or lightning interference (f5~f7), forward-direction out-of-zone short-circuit faults (f2~f4), and forward-direction lightning interference (f1~f4). In these cases, the protection should reliably not operate. According to... Figure 1The protection process shown above examines the protection performance under the above-mentioned conditions.

[0099] Lightning interference is considered in the case of a common lightning strike to the positive line, and the widely accepted 1.2 / 50µs double-exponential lightning current is used for simulation.

[0100] 1.1 Reverse direction fault or lightning strike

[0101] When a metallic double-pole short-circuit fault occurs at point f5 (midpoint of line 4), the protection measuring point P... 11 Voltage at the location, such as Figure 4 As shown in (a), the traveling wave quantity is as follows: Figure 4 As shown in (b).

[0102] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that the fault component line-mode voltage is greater than the set value of 10kV at 0.16ms, triggering the protection. Using a data window of 0.5ms following the start time of 0.16ms, the calculated direction discrimination factor W is 15.60, which is greater than 1.2. Therefore, according to... Figure 1 If the protection system determines that the fault is in the opposite direction or that a lightning strike has occurred, no identification or polarity selection is required.

[0103] When a lightning strike occurs at point f5 (midpoint of line 4), the protection measuring point P... 11 Voltage at the location, such as Figure 5 As shown in (a), the traveling wave quantity is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in (b), the protection starts at 0.18ms, the direction discrimination factor W is 201.92, and the protection reliably does not operate.

[0104] When other types of short circuits or lightning strikes occur in the opposite direction, the direction discrimination factor W at the protection installation location is greater than the set value of 1.2, indicating that it is a short circuit or lightning strike interference in the opposite direction, and the protection reliably does not operate. The corresponding simulation results are shown in Table 2.

[0105] Table 2 Simulation results of reverse faults or lightning strikes

[0106]

[0107] 1.2. Fault outside the positive direction zone

[0108] When a metallic double-pole short-circuit fault occurs at point f4, the fault point is located at the beginning of line 2, and the protection measuring point P... 11 The fault component line-mode voltage of the protection is as follows Figure 6 As shown in (a), the protection measuring point P 11 The fault component of the protection line-mode voltage before and after the reverse traveling wave, such as Figure 6 As shown in (b), the protection measuring point P 11 The fault component line-mode voltage initial reverse traveling wave and curve fitting of the protection are as follows: Figure 6 As shown in (c).

[0109] from Figure 6 (a) It can be seen that the fault component line-mode voltage satisfies the start-up criterion at 0.64ms, and the protection starts; from Figure 6 (b) uses data from 0.5ms after startup to calculate the direction discrimination factor W as 0.46, which is determined to be a short circuit in the positive direction or a lightning strike; Figure 6 (c) Based on the data from 0.3ms before startup and 0.5ms after startup, the identification criterion data window is determined to be 0.5ms (starting from 0.62ms) using wavelet transform modulus maxima, and curve fitting is performed. The identification factor X is calculated to be 17.68, which is greater than the identification criterion tuning value X. set , to protect against action.

[0110] When a short-circuit fault occurs at other locations outside the positive direction zone, the simulation results are shown in Table 3. It is easy to see from this that the protection reliably does not operate for various faults outside the positive direction zone.

[0111] Table 3 Simulation results of faults outside the positive direction zone

[0112]

[0113]

[0114] 1.3. Forward lightning interference

[0115] When a lightning strike occurs at the midpoint (f1) of line 1, the protection measuring point P... 11 The fault component line-mode voltage is as follows Figure 7 As shown in (a), the protection measuring point P 11 Before the fault component line-mode voltage, the reverse traveling wave is as follows Figure 7 As shown in (b), the protection measuring point P 11 The initial reverse traveling wave and curve fitting of the fault component line-mode voltage are as follows: Figure 7 As shown in (c), the protection starts at 0.32ms. The direction discrimination factor W is calculated to be 0.47 based on the data within 0.5ms after startup. The identification criterion time window length is 0.5ms obtained by wavelet transform modulus maxima method. Curve fitting is performed using the data within this time period, and the identification factor X is 125.6. According to the action logic, the protection is reliable and does not operate.

[0116] When lightning strikes occur at other locations in the positive direction, the corresponding simulation results are shown in Table 4. Based on the protection's operating logic, the judgment results are all short-circuit faults outside the positive direction zone, meaning that the protection reliably does not operate under positive direction lightning strike interference.

[0117] Table 5 Simulation results of forward-direction lightning interference

[0118]

[0119] From the above analysis, the proposed protection will not misoperate under lightning disturbance, reverse direction short circuit and positive direction out-of-zone short circuit.

[0120] 2. In-zone short circuit fault analysis

[0121] When line 1 has a short circuit fault, the corresponding protection should act reliably. The following analyzes the protection action from two aspects of bipolar short circuit fault and single pole grounding fault.

[0122] 2.1. Bipolar short circuit fault

[0123] Assume that a metallic bipolar short circuit fault occurs in the zone, the distance from the fault point to P 11 is 25% of the full length of line 1, then the fault component line mode voltage measured at the protection is as shown in Figure 8 (a), the initial reverse traveling wave of the fault component line mode voltage measured at the protection is as shown in Figure 8 (b), the initial reverse traveling wave of the fault component line mode voltage measured at the protection and the curve fitting are as shown in Figure 8 (c), and the positive and negative pole voltages of the fault component measured at the protection are as shown in Figure 8 (d).

[0124] From Figure 8 (a), the absolute value of the fault component line mode voltage is greater than 10 kV 0.16 ms after the fault occurs, which meets the starting criterion, and the protection starts; the data window of 0.5 ms after starting (0.16-0.66 ms), the direction discrimination factor W is 0.58, which is judged as a positive direction fault or lightning, as shown in Figure 8 (b); Figure 8 (c), in which the data from 0.3 ms before starting to 0.5 ms after starting (-0.14-0.66 ms), the fault voltage reverse traveling wave arrival time t1=0.14 ms, t2=0.44 ms is obtained by the wavelet transform modulus maximum value method, the recognition criterion time window length T=0.3 ms (0.14-0.44 ms), and the recognition factor X=3.41 is calculated by curve fitting, and the protection judges that it is an in-zone short circuit fault; according to Figure 8 (d), the positive and negative pole voltages of the fault component in the data window of 0.5 ms after starting (0.16-0.66 ms) are used to obtain the pole selection factor Y=1.00, which is judged as a bipolar short circuit fault, and the protection sends a trip command to the circuit breaker. The above description is a complete protection process.

[0125] By changing the transition resistance and fault location, the transition resistance of bipolar short circuit fault will not be very large, here 0 Ω and 50 Ω are considered, the fault location is expressed in percentage, the protection performance under in-zone bipolar short circuit fault is verified, and the simulation results are shown in Table 5.

[0126] Table 5 Simulation results of bipolar faults within the region.

[0127]

[0128] As can be seen from Table 5, the protection system can make accurate judgments and operate reliably for all types of intra-zone bipolar short-circuit faults.

[0129] 2.2 Single-pole grounding fault

[0130] To verify the performance of the proposed protection against a high-resistance fault at the end of the line, a positive ground fault is simulated at the end of line 1. The transition resistance is set to 500Ω, and the fault component line-mode voltage at the protection measuring point is as follows: Figure 8 As shown in (a), the fault component line-mode voltage and the reverse traveling wave at the protection measuring point are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in (b), the initial reverse traveling wave and curve fitting of the fault component line-mode voltage at the protection measuring point are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in (c), the positive and negative voltages of the fault component at the protection measuring point are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in (d).

[0131] from Figure 4 It can be seen that P 11 The protection is activated at 0.62ms. The time window lengths for direction, recognition, and pole selection criteria are all 0.5ms. The direction discrimination factor W is 0.41, the recognition factor X is 4.80, and the pole selection factor Y is 5.50. ​ The protection logic determines that the fault is a positive short circuit fault within the zone, and the protection will not fail to operate under a high-resistance fault at the far end of the zone.

[0132] To verify the impact of transition resistance and fault location on protection performance, the transition resistance was set to 0Ω, 300Ω, and 500Ω, and the fault location was also expressed as a percentage. The simulation results are shown in Table 6.

[0133] Table 7 Simulation results of unipolar faults within the region

[0134]

[0135] It is easy to see from Table 6 that the protection can still accurately identify when the transition resistance reaches 500Ω.

[0136] It should be emphasized that the embodiments described in this invention are illustrative rather than limiting. Therefore, this invention includes, but is not limited to, the embodiments described in the specific implementation. Any other implementations derived by those skilled in the art based on the technical solutions of this invention are also within the scope of protection of this invention.
