Abstract
Description
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wind farm transmission line protection, and specifically relates to a method for longitudinal protection of wind farm transmission lines. Background Technology
[0002] Driven by energy transition and the increasing maturity of power electronics technology, large-scale wind power integration into the power system is an inevitable trend. The fault characteristics of wind power differ from those of conventional power grids, posing adaptation challenges for power frequency protection systems. Traditional longitudinal protection systems, despite their numerous advantages as the main protection for wind farm transmission lines, are inherently susceptible to failure to operate or maloperation due to the impact of large-scale wind power integration. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention addresses the unreliability of traditional longitudinal protection methods for wind farm transmission lines caused by frequency offset characteristics, data delay transmission, and abnormal sampling data. It effectively distinguishes between faults within and outside the designated protection zone of wind farm transmission lines, applies the BIRCH clustering method to eliminate abnormal sampling data, and combines the differences in the amplitude characteristics of the two-terminal positive sequence impedance to form a longitudinal protection criterion for the line. This impedance-based longitudinal protection method for wind farm transmission lines can reliably distinguish between faults within and outside the designated protection zone, is unaffected by wind farm operating conditions and transition resistance, and has strong resistance to data delay transmission and abnormal data. It is suitable for wind power grid integration systems and has promising application prospects.
[0004] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: A longitudinal protection method for wind farm transmission lines based on impedance characteristics is provided. When a fault occurs in the wind farm transmission line, firstly, the positive sequence voltage and current at both ends of the transmission line are sampled. Secondly, the sampled data is preprocessed, and the positive sequence short-circuit current is used to calculate the positive sequence impedance amplitude to determine whether the fault initiation conditions are met. Then, BIRCH clustering is used to remove abnormal data in the positive sequence impedance amplitude sequence at both ends and its clustering characteristics are calculated. Finally, the difference factor δ of the positive sequence impedance amplitude at both ends is calculated. p Finally, a setting value δ was determined that takes into account the effects of measurement errors and data delay transmission. pset , using δ p With the set value δ pset The comparison is used to determine whether the fault is inside or outside the zone.
[0005] A longitudinal protection method for wind farm transmission lines based on impedance characteristics, characterized by the following specific steps:
[0006] Step 1. Extract the positive sequence voltage and current signals at the installation point of the wind farm's transmission line protection. Preprocess the extracted positive sequence voltage and current signal data and use the preprocessed positive sequence voltage and current to calculate the positive sequence impedance amplitude.
[0007] Step 2. Determine whether the fault initiation conditions are met based on the positive sequence short-circuit current and the positive sequence impedance amplitude;
[0008] Step 3. Use BIRCH clustering to remove outlier sampled data from the two-terminal positive sequence impedance amplitude sequence, and calculate the clustering characteristics of the two-terminal positive sequence impedance amplitude sequence after removing the outlier sampled data;
[0009] Step 4. Calculate the difference factor δ of the positive sequence impedance amplitude at both ends. p Establish setting values that take into account the effects of measurement errors and data delay transmission;
[0010] Step 5. Adjust the difference factor δ of the positive sequence impedance amplitude at both ends. p With the set value δ pset In comparison, determine whether the fault is inside or outside the zone.
[0011] Further, in step 1, when a fault occurs in the wind farm's transmission line, the positive sequence voltage and current signals at the protection installation point of the wind farm's transmission line are collected, with a data window of 10ms. A bandpass filter is used to filter out data outside the 35Hz-65Hz range from the extracted signal, and the power frequency signal in the filtered data is extracted using the Prony algorithm. The positive sequence impedance is calculated by the ratio of the voltage fault component to the current fault component. The positive sequence impedance amplitude is calculated as follows:
[0012]
[0013] In the formula: U M1 I M1 These are the positive sequence voltage and current signals collected during the transient period of a fault in the wind power transmission line, U. M1|0| I M1|0| These represent the positive sequence voltage and current signals collected before the fault in the wind power transmission line, and the amplitude of the system-side back-side impedance |Z. N1 |Calculation method is the same as|Z M1 |
[0014] Furthermore, in step 2, it is determined whether the fault initiation conditions are met based on the positive sequence short-circuit current and the positive sequence impedance amplitude, specifically as follows:
[0015] By utilizing the difference in positive sequence impedance amplitude under forward and reverse faults on the wind power side transmission line, the fault initiation condition on the wind power side is set to the positive sequence impedance amplitude |Z. M1 |Greater than or equal to 1.24 times the positive sequence impedance amplitude of the wind farm's outgoing transmission line|Z L1 |Z Positive sequence impedance magnitude in minimum power grid operating mode| S1 |;The system side selects a positive-sequence abrupt change current starting element, when ΔI N1 ≥0.2I N1 If the conditions are met, proceed to the next step; otherwise, continue the test.
[0016] Furthermore, in step 3, BIRCH clustering is a comprehensive hierarchical clustering algorithm with advantages such as low memory consumption, fast clustering speed, and strong scalability, and it also has the function of detecting outlier data. Using BIRCH clustering, outlier sampled data of the two-terminal positive sequence impedance amplitude sequence are removed and clustering features are calculated, specifically as follows:
[0017] Cluster feature trees (CF Trees) can be built based on clustering characteristics. The maximum number of discrete points in a non-leaf node of a CF Tree is B, and the spatial threshold is T, which is usually the radius r.
[0018] By analyzing the fault time series globally and combining it with clustering features, the centroid x0 and radius r of the fault time series can be derived as follows:
[0019]
[0020]
[0021] Fault time series clustering steps based on the BIRCH algorithm:
[0022] (1) Scan all data of the fault time series, calculate the radius r of the fault time series, and build a CF Tree;
[0023] (2) Take the first discrete data input as the root node of the leaf node. After the subsequent fault time series data is input, determine whether the distance between it and the root node is less than T. If it is less than T and the total number of discrete points of the leaf node does not exceed B, then merge it into the leaf node. Otherwise, use it as the root node of the new leaf node for clustering.
[0024] (3) Scan the CF Tree after the clustering is completed, delete the abnormal leaf nodes that contain only a small number of discrete points, and complete the clustering of the fault time series.
[0025] After removing outlier sampled data, |Z M1 |and|Z N1 The formula for calculating cluster features SS is as follows:
[0026]
[0027] Further, in step 4, δ is calculated. p The setting value is determined considering the impact of measurement errors and data delay transmission, specifically as follows:
[0028] When a fault occurs in the transmission line of a wind farm within the area, |Z M1 |far greater than|Z N1 |;When an outbound fault occurs in the wind farm's transmission line,|Z M1 |and|Z N1|Approximately equal, utilizing this property, combined with |Z after removing outlier sampled data. M1 |and|Z N1 By calculating the clustering feature SS, the formula for the two-terminal positive sequence impedance magnitude difference ratio factor can be obtained:
[0029]
[0030] When a fault occurs in the transmission line of a wind farm within the affected area, the difference factor δ of the positive sequence impedance amplitude at both ends... p Approaching 1, when an external fault occurs in the wind farm's transmission line, the difference factor δ of the positive sequence impedance amplitude at both ends is... p Approaching 0.
[0031] Under ideal conditions, the fault in the wind farm's transmission line area meets δ p =1. Considering the influence of factors such as CT and PT measurement errors and data transmission delays, a reliability coefficient is introduced to mitigate the impact of these factors. The setting value is determined as follows:
[0032] δ pset =K1K2δ pb (6)
[0033] In the formula: K1 is the reliability coefficient taking into account the measurement error factors of CT and PT, usually taken as 0.85. K2 is the reliability coefficient taking into account the abnormal data factor, usually taken as 0.95. Considering the faults inside and outside the wind farm transmission line area, δ p Feature differences, select δ pb =1. The setpoint δ can be calculated. pset =0.8.
[0034] Furthermore, in step 5, when the difference factor δ of the positive sequence impedance amplitude at both ends... p Greater than the set value δ pset If the fault occurs at a certain time, the wind farm's transmission line will experience a fault within the designated area; otherwise, the wind farm's transmission line will experience a fault outside the designated area.
