Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power distribution network relay protection technology, specifically relating to a high-resistance grounding protection method for a low-resistance grounding system. Background Technology

[0002] Low-resistance grounding systems are increasingly widely used in distribution networks of large and medium-sized cities in my country due to their advantages such as effectively limiting arc grounding overvoltages, timely disconnection of faulty lines, and reduction of equipment insulation levels. Single-phase grounding faults account for over 80% of distribution network faults, making them one of the main fault types. However, due to the complex environment of distribution network feeders, single-phase high-resistance grounding faults are prone to occur. Although the fault current of high-resistance grounding faults is small, the high temperature generated by the fallen high-voltage line and the fault arc can cause significant harm to nearby people and the surrounding environment, even leading to personal injury accidents. Furthermore, if the fault current is allowed to persist, it will further damage the insulation, causing more serious faults and expanding the fault range. Therefore, grounding fault protection systems with high-resistance fault identification capabilities are of great significance for ensuring the safe and stable operation of low-resistance grounding systems.

[0003] Currently, the main ground fault protection scheme for low-resistance grounding systems is staged zero-sequence current protection. However, under high-resistance conditions, due to the very small fault current, the sensitivity of existing zero-sequence current protection is poor. Taking the zero-sequence stage II as an example, its withstand transition resistance value is approximately 100Ω, which obviously cannot meet the requirements for high-resistance ground fault detection. Some substations also use zero-sequence directional protection schemes, but the polarity verification of the instrument transformers is difficult, and the effect is not ideal. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for protecting high-resistance grounding in a low-resistance grounding system. This method is simple and easy to implement, and can improve the sensitivity of high-resistance grounding fault detection in a low-resistance grounding system.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a high-resistance grounding protection method for a low-resistance grounding system, comprising:

[0006] (1) Collect and calculate the zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current of the line;

[0007] (2) Shift the zero-sequence voltage to the left by one-quarter of the power frequency cycle, and then normalize the sampled values ​​of the zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current after the left shift; when the zero-sequence voltage of the line is greater than the zero-sequence voltage start-up setting, calculate the waveform comparison coefficient Kr of the processed zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current.

[0008] (3) Compare waveforms, comparison coefficient K r Comparison coefficient constant K set The size of Kr >K set When the fault occurs, the line is identified as having a grounding fault.

[0009] Furthermore, in step (1), the zero-sequence voltage of a single-phase grounding is:

[0010]

[0011] The zero-sequence current of a normal circuit is:

[0012]

[0013] The zero-sequence current of the faulty outgoing line is:

[0014]

[0015] in, R is the voltage of the faulty phase before the fault. f R is the short-circuit grounding resistance. g For grounding resistance, C 0∑ This is the sum of the zero-sequence capacitances of all lines to ground.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (1), a protection device is used to collect zero-sequence current and zero-sequence voltage, and the number of sampling points for each power frequency cycle is N.

[0017] Furthermore, in step (2), the formula for the zero-sequence voltage normalization process is:

[0018]

[0019] The formula for normalizing zero-sequence current is:

[0020]

[0021] The waveform comparison coefficient K is calculated by dividing the sum of the absolute values ​​of the differences between all zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current samples within a power frequency cycle by the sum of the absolute values ​​of all zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current samples within a power frequency cycle. r The calculation formula is as follows:

[0022]

[0023] Where k is the current sampling point, i is the time shift value, U0 is the zero-sequence voltage sampling value, and I0 is the zero-sequence current sampling value. It is the normalized zero-sequence voltage sample value. It is the normalized zero-sequence current sample value.

[0024] Furthermore, in step (2), the zero-sequence voltage start-up setting U setThe value range is 3 to 5V.

[0025] Furthermore, in step (3), when K r >K set When the line is identified as having a ground fault, and after a set delay value t... set The subsequent action is to trip or alarm.

[0026] Furthermore, the comparison coefficient constant K set The value range is 0.3 to 0.4.

[0027] Furthermore, the delay setpoint t set The value range is 0.3 to 1s.

[0028] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: By analyzing the waveform relationship between zero-sequence current and zero-sequence voltage in faulty and non-faulty lines, this invention enables the detection of high-resistance grounding faults in low-resistance grounding systems. This method is not only simple and easy to implement, but also significantly improves the sensitivity of high-resistance grounding fault detection in low-resistance grounding systems. Therefore, this invention has strong practicality and broad application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0048] The formula for normalizing the zero-sequence voltage is as follows:

[0049]

[0050] The formula for normalizing zero-sequence current is:

[0051]

[0052] The waveform comparison coefficient K is calculated by dividing the sum of the absolute values ​​of the differences between all zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current samples within a power frequency cycle by the sum of the absolute values ​​of all zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current samples within a power frequency cycle. r The calculation formula is as follows:
