Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of relay protection technology, specifically relating to a low-voltage protection method, system, and storage medium for low-frequency transformers. Background Technology
[0002] The construction of low-frequency power transmission systems can support island energy development and new energy transmission, contributing to the development of new power systems. Furthermore, it can continuously optimize and improve the power transmission and distribution network structure, enhance the grid's disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities, and effectively ensure a safer, more economical, and more reliable power supply. Low-frequency transformers are the core equipment of low-frequency power transmission systems. The low-voltage protection of low-frequency transformers, as the overall backup protection in the low-frequency power transmission system, is closely related to the safe operation of the system. Compared with power frequency power systems, the valve control devices present in low-frequency power transmission systems cause different changes in electrical quantities during system faults compared to normal power systems. This may affect the correct operation of low-voltage protection and thus impact the safe operation of the low-frequency power transmission system.
[0003] When a fault occurs in a normal power frequency system, the undervoltage protection can be activated by the current-starting element. However, for the protection device of the low-frequency transformer in the low-frequency transmission system, the valve control device will quickly suppress the fault current when the system is faulty, which may cause the current-starting element to fail to start. This may lead to a misjudgment of the PT being disconnected, thus blocking the undervoltage protection. Summary of the Invention

Attached Figure Description
[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the main process of a low-voltage protection method for a low-frequency transformer protection device in a low-frequency power transmission system, provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
[0041] Figure 2 This is an example diagram of a low-frequency power transmission system for which a low-voltage protection method for a low-frequency transformer protection device in a low-frequency power transmission system, as provided in an embodiment of the present invention, is applicable. Detailed Implementation
[0042] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] Example 1:
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, a low-voltage protection method for low-frequency transformers is applicable to low-frequency transformer protection devices in low-frequency transmission systems. The method includes: determining whether a current-initiating element has been activated; if the current-initiating element has not been activated, identifying whether the fault is a PT disconnection or a short-circuit fault based on the sudden changes in phase voltage on each side of the low-frequency transformer; and executing low-voltage protection actions after a short-circuit fault occurs.
[0045] This embodiment specifically includes the following steps.
[0046] Determine whether the current-starting element has started.
[0047] Step 1: Collect the phase current, phase voltage, and low voltage protection output delay setting value of each side of the transformer.
[0048] Step 2: Calculate the line current surge, negative sequence current and zero sequence current, phase voltage surge, and adaptive extension time of the current-starting element.
[0049] Step 3: If the current on either side satisfies any one of the following equations in any phase, then the current-starting element is determined to have started; otherwise, the current-starting element is determined to have not started.
[0050]
[0051] Where ΔI is the line current mutation, I2 is the negative sequence current, I0 is the zero sequence current, δ1 is the line current mutation threshold, δ2 is the negative sequence current threshold, and δ3 is the zero sequence current threshold.
[0052] Step 4: In response to the determination that the current-starting element has been started, adaptive expansion is performed, PT disconnection is blocked, and then it is determined whether the voltage of any phase is less than the low voltage setting value.
[0053] The widening time is adaptively adjusted based on the low-voltage protection output delay time, and the specific formula is as follows:
[0054] t I =t set +Δt (2)
[0055] Among them, t I For adaptive stretching time, t set The low voltage protection delay setting is Δt, which is taken as two electrical cycle times.
[0056] For normal power frequency power systems, current-initiating elements can generally be activated. Once the current is activated, the PT disconnection criterion is blocked, and the undervoltage protection is opened. However, for low-frequency transmission systems, when a fault occurs, the valve control device will quickly suppress the current to a steady-state value within one cycle, making it difficult to detect the sudden change in current. The current-initiating element may fail to activate, and it will be mistakenly judged as a PT disconnection, thus blocking the undervoltage protection. Therefore, this embodiment adds a voltage activation condition to distinguish between PT disconnection and various short-circuit faults to ensure accurate and error-free operation of the undervoltage protection.
[0057] If the current-starting element fails to start, the sudden changes in phase voltage on each side of the low-frequency transformer can be used to identify whether the PT is disconnected or a short-circuit fault has occurred.
[0058] Step 5: In response to the determination that the current-starting element has not started, determine the sudden change in voltage of each phase of the transformer; the process of determining the sudden change in voltage of each phase of the transformer is as follows:
[0059] Taking a two-winding transformer as an example, the phase voltages on both sides of the transformer are obtained. If the sudden changes in phase voltages on both sides of the low-frequency transformer are greater than the threshold value, a short-circuit fault is determined, and the undervoltage protection is activated.
[0060] Δu Mx >δ4&Δu Nx >δ4 (3)
[0061] Where, Δu Mx The voltage change on one phase of a low-frequency transformer, Δu Nx δ4 is the voltage change of one phase on the other side of the low-frequency transformer, where x = a, b, c represents any phase of the three-phase voltage, and δ4 is the threshold value for the voltage change of the phase.
[0062] If the voltage surge on only one phase of the low-frequency transformer exceeds the threshold value, it is determined that a PT disconnection has occurred, and the undervoltage protection is blocked. The specific formula is as follows:
[0063] Δu Mx >δ4&Δu Na,b,c <δ4 (4)
[0064] Where, Δu Na,b,c This refers to the voltage fluctuations of the three phases a, b, and c on the other side of a low-frequency transformer.
[0065] After a short circuit fault occurs, the undervoltage protection action is executed.
[0066] Step 6: Determine if the voltage of any phase of the low-frequency transformer is less than the low-voltage setting; if the voltage of any phase is less than the low-voltage setting:
[0067] u x set (5)
[0068] Among them, u x Let x = a, b, c represent any phase voltage of the three-phase transformer, and u represent any phase voltage of the three-phase transformer. set This is the low voltage setting value in low voltage protection;
[0069] The condition is determined to meet the undervoltage protection requirements, and a delay t is set. set The low voltage protection activated.
[0070] Step 7: In response to the fact that the voltage of each phase of the low-frequency transformer is greater than or equal to the low voltage setting value, it is determined that the low voltage operation condition is not met, and the protection does not operate.
[0071] This invention adds a voltage-based starting condition when the current-initiating element is not activated. It uses voltage fluctuation indicators on each side of the transformer to determine whether the fault is a PT disconnection or a general fault, thus accurately identifying the fault and significantly improving the reliability and applicability of low-voltage protection for low-frequency transformers in low-frequency transmission systems. Figure 2 The diagram shown is an example of a low-frequency transmission system for which a low-voltage protection method for a low-frequency transformer protection device in a low-frequency transmission system, as provided in an embodiment of the present invention, is applicable.
[0072] The theoretical basis of this invention is as follows: When a PT (potential transformer) disconnects, only the phase voltage on the disconnected side changes, abruptly changing from a steady-state value to 0, while the phase voltage on the other side remains unaffected. Conversely, when a short-circuit fault occurs, the voltage of the faulty phase on the faulty side will definitely change, as the voltage on the other side of the transformer will also change. Based on the difference in phase voltage changes on both sides of the transformer, rapid and accurate identification of short-circuit faults and PT disconnections is achieved, improving the reliability and speed of low-voltage protection in low-frequency transformer protection devices in low-frequency transmission systems, thereby enhancing the safe operation level of transformers and the power grid.
