Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of DC transmission systems, specifically a fault identification method applicable to hybrid multi-infeed DC transmission systems. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible DC transmission technology, based on voltage source converters with insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) at its core, can independently control the active and reactive power transmitted by the system. High-voltage DC transmission technology based on grid-commutated converters is widely used in long-distance, high-capacity power transmission scenarios. With the widespread application of DC transmission technology in power grids, conventional DC transmission (LCC-HVDC) and flexible DC transmission (VSC-HVDC) are fed into the same AC bus, or the electrical distance between them is relatively short, forming a hybrid multi-infeed DC transmission system. In a hybrid multi-infeed DC transmission system, the interconnection of the LCC-HVDC rectifier station and the VSC-HVDC inverter station exhibits different operating characteristics compared to a single-infeed DC transmission system.

[0003] When a DC fault occurs in a flexible DC transmission system, the short-circuit current rises rapidly. Therefore, fault identification must be completed within a short time, which places extremely high demands on the fault identification of flexible DC grids. High-voltage AC transmission is a feasible technical route for large-scale, long-distance energy transmission; however, its large transmission capacity and long transmission lines mean that faults pose a high risk of system instability or even outages. In a high-voltage operating environment, once a fault occurs, the transmission system is likely to be subjected to overvoltage and overcurrent transmission impacts, damaging the entire transmission system and causing extremely serious harm and impact on the power system and people's lives. Therefore, rapid and accurate fault identification is of great significance for the protection actions and stable operation of hybrid multi-infeed DC transmission systems.

[0004] In hybrid multi-infeed DC transmission systems, coordination among the control system, AC protection, and DC protection minimizes the impact of faults on the system. Protection should first utilize the control capabilities of the DC system to suppress fault development. If the fault cannot be suppressed by the system's control system, AC and DC protection must quickly identify and locate the fault, and then use protection actions to clear it optimally. Since hybrid multi-infeed DC transmission systems involve two types of DC transmission, their protection configuration will also be related to the protection of these two types of DC transmission. In principle, AC protection covers the AC system, and DC protection covers the DC system. AC protection should not trigger DC protection operation signals, and vice versa. However, when a fault occurs in the system, it may not only affect the local area but also cause fluctuations in voltage, current, and other physical quantities in another transmission system, potentially leading to false triggering of protection configurations. This could result in unnecessary system outages and affect the stability of system operation.

[0005] Existing research has limited coverage of fault identification in hybrid multi-infeed DC transmission systems. Most studies on DC transmission system fault identification focus on a single protection configuration, while research on identifying multiple faults in systems with multiple protection configurations is scarce. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research in this area of ​​hybrid multi-infeed DC transmission systems. Summary of the Invention

[0027] S2.23: The VSC-HVDC DC undervoltage and overcurrent protection collects data on DC positive voltage, DC negative voltage, DC positive current, and DC negative current. The protection criteria are as follows.

[0028] |U dP -U dN |≤U d_set ,I dP ≥I d_set orI dN ≥I d_set (19)

[0029] In the formula, U dP U is the positive DC voltage. dN The negative DC voltage, U d_set I is the DC undervoltage and overcurrent protection voltage setting. dP For DC positive current, I dN For DC negative current, I d_set This is the current setting for DC undervoltage overcurrent protection;

[0036] Furthermore, step S3 specifically includes:

[0037] S3.1: Determine whether the fault is in the LCC-HVDC system or the VSC-HVDC system based on formula (7):

[0046] S3.4: Collect the current at both ends of the VSC-HVDC AC connection line, and determine the VSC-HVDC AC overcurrent protection signal according to equation (10):

Since the VSC-HVDC can rely on its own control capability to restore the system to a stable state in a short time when a single-pole grounding fault occurs in the DC transmission line of the VSC-HVDC system, there is no need for protection action.

[0055] S3.7: Determine whether the fault occurred in the VSC-HVDC AC line, based on equation (13).

[0096] When LCC-HVDC and VSC-HVDC are fed into the same AC bus, and a fault occurs in the mixed multi-feed DC transmission system, in addition to the protection systems configured within this protection zone operating, external protection systems may also operate. Therefore, the fault cannot be accurately and reliably identified based solely on the protection system's operation; specific protection signals are required for fault identification.

Since the VSC-HVDC can rely on its own control capability to restore the system to a stable state in a short time when a single-pole grounding fault occurs in the DC transmission line of the VSC-HVDC system, there is no need for protection action.

[0115] S3.7: Determine whether the fault occurred in the VSC-HVDC AC line, based on equation (13).

The protection action signal is output, and the trigger pulse of the VSC-HVDC system voltage source converter is blocked to avoid the impact of the fault on the system; otherwise, there is no need to output the protection action signal, and the system continues to be monitored.
