Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pumped storage control, and particularly relates to a grounding protection detection device applied to a static frequency converter and a detection method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Generally, pumped storage units are provided with injection type stator grounding protection. In a static frequency converter (SFC) provided with an output transformer, the pumped storage unit needs to be dragged in two stages, i.e., a low-speed running stage and a high-speed running stage. Whether running in which stage, the body grounding fault may occur. At present, the grounding fault is detected in the following several ways.

[0003] 1) The SFC is not provided with a grounding protection device (as shown in FIG. 1): Figure 1 ):

[0004] If the SFC is not configured with an output transformer, the SFC device can not be provided with grounding protection, and the whole dragging process is detected by the 100% stator grounding protection of the unit. If the SFC is configured with an output transformer, the grounding fault can only be detected by the 100% stator grounding protection device of the unit in the low-speed stage. In the high-speed stage, the grounding fault occurs, the inverter output is isolated from the unit through the transformer, the 100% stator grounding protection of the unit cannot detect the grounding fault, and the grounding fault can only be found when the unit is dragged next time. Thus, the grounding fault cannot be found in time, which may cause the failure of the SFC dragging.

[0005] 2) The SFC body three-phase PT primary neutral point is short-circuited and grounded through a resistance, and the grounding fault is detected by detecting the grounding resistance voltage (as shown in FIG. 2): Figure 2 ):

[0006] Under normal circumstances, the voltage at the neutral point of the PT should be 0. If the grounding fault occurs, the voltage at the neutral point will change, so it can be judged whether there is grounding. In the low-speed running stage, the output side of the SFC is connected with the unit end. At this time, the 100% stator grounding protection of the unit and the SFC body grounding protection are put into operation at the same time, and there are two grounding points in the dragging loop at the same time, which is easy to cause the grounding protection to malfunction.

[0007] 3) A knife switch is installed between the SFC body PT neutral point and the grounding protection resistance (as shown in FIG. 3): Figure 3 ):

[0008] When the SFC drag unit operates in the low-speed stage, the knife gap is disconnected, and the ground fault is detected by the unit 100% stator ground protection; when operating in the high-speed stage, the knife gap is closed, and the SFC body ground protection device is put into operation, at this time, the SFC inverter output is isolated from the unit stator through the output transformer, and the situation that two-point grounding leads to protection misoperation does not occur; However, this method needs to add a ground protection knife gap, which increases the cost of equipment and needs to increase the switching logic lock of the ground protection knife gap, and there is a risk of switching failure of the ground protection knife gap.

[0016] A grounding protection detection method applied to a static frequency converter, comprising a static frequency converter (SFC) and a pumped storage unit electrically connected thereto; the static frequency converter (SFC) comprises an output transformer, a grounding resistor R and a ground detection device;

[0017] When the output transformer is in use, the grounding resistor R is automatically put into operation and the ground fault is detected by the ground detection device.

[0018] Optionally, the static frequency converter (SFC) further comprises switches S1 and S2, and the detection method is as follows:

[0019] (1) The static frequency converter (SFC) sends a switch S2 closing order to enter the rotor position measurement mode;

[0020] (2) The static frequency converter (SFC) sends a low-speed operation signal;

[0021] (3) The pumped storage unit feedbacks a high-speed operation signal, and the static frequency converter (SFC) sends a switch S1 closing order and a switch S2 opening order.

[0022] Optionally, in the step (2), when the static frequency converter (SFC) operates in the low-speed stage, the ground fault is detected through the unit stator ground protection.

[0023] Optionally, in the step (3), when the static frequency converter (SFC) operates in the high-speed stage, the output transformer is put into operation, and the ground fault is detected through the ground resistance R ground protection.

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings Figure 4 The application is further explained.

[0038] The embodiment of the application discloses a ground protection detection device applied to a static frequency converter and a detection method thereof, the detection device comprises an inverter cabinet and an alternating current reactor, the inverter cabinet and the alternating current reactor are connected in parallel with a switch S1 and a switch S2, the switch S1 is connected with an output transformer, the switch S1 is used as an output transformer switching switch, an input end of the switch S2 is connected with an input end of the switch S1, and an output end of the switch S2 is connected with an output end of the output transformer to form a bypass, and the switch S2 is used as a bypass switch.

[0039] The pumped storage unit is provided with 100% stator ground protection (injection type stator ground protection) as the main protection of stator winding and its lead wire ground fault, which detects the change of resistance between stator winding and ground by adding 20Hz external power supply between the stator loop of the unit and the ground to determine the stator ground fault, and realizes 100% full area ground protection of the stator winding of the unit in any state.

[0040] As shown in Figure 4 When the output transformer is configured in the static frequency converter (SFC), the static frequency converter (SFC) is provided with a body ground protection detection device, the static frequency converter (SFC) body ground protection detection device adopts the neutral point short circuit of the output transformer and is grounded through a grounding resistor R, the short circuit is located at the low voltage side of the output transformer, that is, the neutral point of the low voltage side of the output transformer is short-circuited and grounded through the resistor, and the neutral point of the output transformer is also connected to a ground detection device for detecting the voltage across the grounding resistor R, and the ground detection device determines whether a ground fault occurs by detecting the voltage change of the neutral point of the output transformer.

[0041] The detection method is as follows:

[0042] (1) When the static frequency converter (SFC) is running, the static frequency converter (SFC) sends a closing order of switch S2, closes the bypass switch S2, and enters the rotor position measurement mode;

[0043] (2) The static frequency converter (SFC) sends a low-speed running signal, and the SFC drags the unit to run in the low-speed stage, at this time the output transformer input switch S1 is in the open state, at this time the output transformer and the SFC body ground protection connected are not put into use, and the whole dragging process is detected by the 100% stator ground protection of the unit.
