Abstract

The application provides a power distribution area intelligent distributed protection and fault self-healing method, which comprises the following steps: (1) establishing a distributed protection topology structure, dividing the power distribution area into four levels of a total opening of the area, a feeder switch of the area, a T-connection / branch switch and a household switch, and installing distributed protection devices at the corresponding levels; (2) when the communication of the distributed protection topology structure is reliable, adopting a blocking protection logic; (3) when the communication of the distributed protection topology structure is unreliable or the next level switch fails, realizing protection tripping through a preset intelligent setting value cooperation logic; and (4) after executing the protection action, automatically isolating the fault area through intelligent hierarchical reclosing to reduce the power outage range. The application forms a perfect power distribution area protection and fault self-healing scheme by establishing a distributed protection topology structure, a blocking protection logic, intelligent setting value cooperation and intelligent hierarchical reclosing, and takes into account the reliability and economy.
