Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the large-scale integration of new energy sources and the rapid development of flexible DC transmission technology (VSC-HVDC), flexible DC transmission technology is increasingly being concentrated in multi-terminal grids. Compared with AC grids, DC grids have many advantages: 1) Most renewable energy sources such as wind and solar can be directly connected to the grid through DC boosting, improving the utilization rate of new energy generation; 2) DC grids do not have problems with frequency and power angle stability; 3) They can achieve fast and flexible power flow control, enabling wide-area power regulation and mutual assistance.

[0003] However, while the integration of new energy sources into the DC power grid and the interconnection of AC and DC power bring significant economic benefits, the operation of the interconnected power grid has undergone substantial changes, resulting in complex AC / DC hybrid structures and posing new challenges to fault detection in multi-terminal DC systems. For example, there is a lack of effective new methods for multi-terminal DC fault detection. Existing multi-terminal DC protection systems mostly employ high-speed traveling wave protection, achieving rapid fault isolation by detecting the rate of change of current and voltage in the faulty line. However, this method requires extremely high sampling frequencies, has poor fault tolerance, and limited resistance to excessive resistance. Therefore, it is essential to design new methods suitable for multi-terminal DC fault detection, taking into account the fault characteristics of multi-terminal DC systems. Summary of the Invention

[0109]

[0110] Specifically, equation (3) is obtained by simplifying the following equations simultaneously:

[0130]

[0131] Combining equations (4-2) and (4-3), k is reduced by neglecting the resistance and capacitance components in the high-frequency region. rt Further simplification yields the final time-domain expression:

[0132]

[0133] S3. Based on the simplified model of the hybrid multi-terminal DC system established in step S1 for DC fault analysis and the time-domain analytical expression of the initial DC fault current in step S2, and by calculating the average value of the DC reactor voltage over a specified time period T, the DC fault in the hybrid multi-terminal DC system is detected. Specifically,

[0134]

[0136] The following uses B 24 Taking the most severe fault scenario as an example, the upper and lower limits of the fault protection criteria can be described as follows:

[0137]

[0138] Its operating principles can be described as follows:

[0139]

[0140] in, and These are the lower and upper limits of the voltage threshold, respectively; K rel A reliability factor is included to account for model errors; L represents the average voltage across the smoothing reactor t24 and across the smoothing reactor t42 within time period T; t24 and L t42 L represents the inductance of smoothing reactor t24 and smoothing reactor t42, respectively; b24 and L b42 L represents the equivalent inductance of branch 24 and branch 42, respectively; b14 and L b34 L represents the equivalent inductance of branch 14 and branch 34, respectively; t43 This represents the inductance of the smoothing reactor t43.

[0141] Based on the simplified model of the hybrid multi-terminal DC system established for DC fault analysis and the derived time-domain expression of the short-circuit current, DC faults in the MTDC system can be detected quickly and accurately by using this judgment criterion and combining it with actual parameters.

[0142] Table 1 shows... Figure 5 The relevant parameters for the system simulation shown are as follows.

[0143] Table 1

[0144]

[0145]

[0146] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 The figure shows the simulation results of DC fault detection in the MTDC system. Figure 7Three models—the detailed model, the RL model, and the proposed model—are used to describe the dynamic changes of DC reactor voltage under various fault conditions. The detailed model, a frequency-varying parameter model, is the most accurate, considering the distributed parameters and frequency characteristics of the line. The RL model is a simplified model obtained by modeling the line using equivalent resistance and inductance. The proposed model is the model described in this invention. Of the three models, the detailed model is the most realistic, considering many complex factors, making it difficult to analyze and requiring numerical calculations. The proposed model, through appropriate simplification, reflects the basic characteristics of the detailed model while reducing complexity, enabling analytical theoretical analysis. The RL model is the simplest model, considering only equivalent R and L, ignoring many characteristics, and cannot derive analytical protection expressions.

[0147] Specifically, Figure 7 (a) Comparison of L t24 When a metallic fault occurs on line 24 (the furthest fault within the zone), L in the three models t24 The voltage. Due to the traveling wave process, L in the detailed model t24 The voltage oscillates around the RL model and the proposed model. For example... Figure 7 As shown in (b), the detailed model can effectively suppress reactor voltage fluctuations by calculating the transient voltage mean, compared to Figure 7 In (a), where the detailed model does not include transient voltage mean calculation, it is clear that calculating the transient voltage mean effectively suppresses reactor voltage fluctuations; Figure 7 In (b), the average transient voltage of the reactor in the detailed model exceeds the threshold at t = 3.0009s and remains above the threshold for several milliseconds, indicating that the average transient voltage is a more stable indicator for DC fault detection. Figure 7 (c) describes L t43 When the most severe external fault occurs between line 34 and line 34, L t24 The average transient voltage of the model is much smaller than the threshold, and the maximum average transient voltage of the detailed model (39.49kV) is much smaller than the threshold, so the protection will not malfunction. In addition, under this condition, the average transient voltage of all three models is much smaller than the threshold, so none of them will malfunction. Figure 7 (d) and Figure 7 (e) are respectively L d Between line 14 and L d Simulation verification results of protection performance under DC fault conditions on the left side, such as... Figure 7 As shown in (d), after a fault in the reverse region, the average transient voltage of the three models rapidly drops below the threshold, enabling them to operate correctly; while for Figure 7 (e) shows a fault outside the reverse zone. The average transient voltage of the three models is still higher than the threshold, and no false alarm will occur. The simulation results verify the selectivity and accuracy of the fault detection scheme.

[0148] In summary, this invention, based on a reasonably simplified DC fault analysis model for hybrid multi-terminal DC (MTDC) systems and a time-domain expression for short-circuit current, can quickly identify DC faults in MTDC systems with high accuracy, providing a reference for controller setup and design.

[0149] The above description only outlines the basic principles and preferred embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make many changes and modifications based on the above description, and these changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
