Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fast microgrid protection method and device based on inverter PWM signals, belonging to the field of microgrid protection technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of new energy technologies and the increasing emphasis placed on environmental protection by the state, microgrids that integrate power generation, storage, and load are being used more and more frequently in power systems to meet the comprehensive needs of efficiently coordinating local load power consumption and new energy power generation.

[0003] Microgrids have two operating modes, and the fault current differs significantly between grid-connected and islanded modes. With the rapid development of microgrids, microgrid protection faces the challenge of determining whether a fault occurs inside or outside the microgrid in both grid-connected and islanded modes, while ensuring the reliability, speed, sensitivity, and selectivity of the protection systems installed in the microgrid.

[0004] Most power sources in microgrids are distributed generation. Distributed generation differs from traditional generation methods, being significantly affected by environmental factors, resulting in fluctuating and difficult-to-control output. Furthermore, the frequent switching of these power sources easily causes current fluctuations within the microgrid. Traditional distribution network structures are radial networks with a single power source, where power flow is unidirectional. They employ ungrounded neutral points or grounded via arc suppression coils to ensure power supply reliability. Therefore, overcurrent protection is generally used. The widespread application of microgrids and distributed generation has altered the fault characteristics of traditional distribution networks, impacting traditional overcurrent protection. This includes reduced sensitivity of line protection; the possibility of protection malfunctions when adjacent lines experience faults; decreased reclosing success rate; and a narrowed protection range.

[0005] Because microgrids typically have lower voltage levels, smaller areas, and shorter lines, the current changes during faults are limited by the power electronic devices, resulting in less noticeable fluctuations. This leads to less sensitive protection devices and difficulties in protection setting. Therefore, current protection widely used in large power grids is no longer suitable for microgrids. However, voltage changes at various points in the system are relatively significant, making low-voltage protection beneficial for ensuring the reliability of relay protection.

[0006] Considering the significant differences between microgrids and large power grids in terms of network configuration, operating mode, and spatial characteristics, relay protection in microgrids should adopt different methods than that in large power grids. To balance the fault characteristics of microgrid relay protection, the stable and safe operation of internal distributed power sources, and the unique operating state of microgrids, and to quickly determine the location of faults, a rapid protection method for microgrid power sources needs to be designed. This method should ensure timely detection and isolation of faults when they occur in the microgrid, guaranteeing that renewable energy sources are not damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a fast microgrid protection method and device based on inverter PWM signals. By integrating the node voltage, the node voltage change is corrected, making the change more obvious and ensuring that faults in the microgrid can be detected in time, thus ensuring that the new energy power source is not damaged.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented using the following technical solution:

[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a fast microgrid protection method based on inverter PWM signals, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Obtain the internal PWM signal of the converter;

[0011] Based on the internal PWM signal of the converter, the equivalent electromotive force of the actual output of the converter is obtained by integration;

[0012] The voltage of each converter node in the microgrid is corrected based on the equivalent potential actually output by the converter to obtain the corrected node voltage.

[0013] Microgrid segmented current direction-low voltage protection is performed based on the corrected node voltage.

[0014] Furthermore, based on the internal PWM signal of the converter, the equivalent electromotive force of the actual output of the converter is obtained by integration, including:

[0015] Based on the half-wave integration method of the PWM signal inside the converter, the PWM signal is integrated by a sliding window with a width of π to obtain the internal potential of the converter.

[0016] The formula for calculating the half-wave integral of a PWM signal starting at any given time is:

[0017]

[0018] E=α1U dc

[0019] Where: α1 is the duty cycle of the PWM waveform obtained by half-wave integration; θ represents any time at the start of integration; f(wt) is the PWM waveform inside the converter; U dc E is the converter output voltage under normal operating conditions; E is the equivalent potential of the actual output of the converter.

[0020] Furthermore, based on the internal PWM signal of the converter, the equivalent electromotive force of the actual output of the converter is obtained by integration, including:

[0021] Based on the quarter-cycle integration method of the PWM signal within the converter's internal sliding window, the PWM signal starting at any time is integrated using a sliding window of width [value missing]. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0022]

[0023] E=α2U dc

[0024] Where: α2 is the duty cycle of the PWM waveform obtained by half-wave integration; A is the first PWM pulse width of the sliding-out window; B is the first PWM pulse width of the sliding-in window. θ represents any time at the start of integration; f(wt) is the PWM waveform inside the converter; U dc E is the converter output voltage under normal operating conditions; E is the equivalent potential of the actual output of the converter.

[0025] Furthermore, the voltage of each converter node in the microgrid is corrected based on the actual output equivalent potential of the converter, resulting in the corrected node voltage, including:

[0026] The voltages of each converter node in the microgrid are:

[0027] U k.i =E i -U dc.i

[0028] Among them: U k.i U is the corrected voltage at node i. dc.i E represents the output voltage with converter node i in normal system operation. i The equivalent electromotive force of the converter at node i is obtained by integration.

[0029] Furthermore, the method also includes:

[0030] Set the activation value U for the protection device Δ When the equivalent potential of the actual output of the converter obtained by integrating the PWM signal is lower than U... Δ If the fault is determined to be an external line fault, then the microgrid segmented current direction-low voltage protection will be activated; otherwise, the protection will not operate.

[0031] Startup quantity U Δ Set to 0.8 times the rated output voltage of the converter;

[0032] Furthermore, based on the corrected node voltage, segmented current direction-undervoltage protection for the microgrid is performed, including:

[0033] Step A: Obtain the adjusted three-stage undervoltage protection settings; the adjusted three-stage undervoltage protection settings include the settings for undervoltage protection stage I, undervoltage protection stage II, and undervoltage protection stage III.

[0034] Step B: When a fault occurs, if the corrected node voltage is less than the setting value of the low voltage protection section I of this line, it is determined that the fault occurred within the low voltage protection section I range of this line, and the protection will operate immediately; otherwise, the protection will not operate and will jump to step C.

[0035] Step C: If the node correction voltage is less than the setting value of the undervoltage protection stage II of this line, determine the current direction. If the current direction is determined to be positive, perform a short delay. If the voltage magnitude does not change when the delay ends, the undervoltage protection stage II of this line will operate to clear the fault. If the bus voltage rises to the voltage value under normal operating conditions when the delay ends, the corrected node voltage will be recalculated. If the current direction is reversed, the protection will not operate.

[0036] Step D: If the node correction voltage is less than the setting value of the undervoltage protection stage III for this line, and the current direction is positive, the protection will perform a short delay. If the node correction voltage is still lower than the setting value of the undervoltage protection stage III when the delay ends, the undervoltage protection stage III for this line will operate to clear the fault. If the bus voltage rises after the delay, it indicates that the fault or overload has ended, and the corrected node voltage will be recalculated. If the current direction is reversed, the protection will not operate.

[0037] Furthermore, the direction of the current is determined by the power direction element on the line.

[0038] Furthermore, the setting value of the undervoltage protection stage I is...

[0039]

[0040] In the formula, I k Z represents the fault current measured on the faulty line AB when a three-phase short-circuit fault occurs; AB The impedance is the total length of the line between the faulty busbars A and B. The reliability coordination factor for the low voltage stage I protection can be taken as 0.7-0.8;

[0041] The setting value of the low voltage protection stage II is

[0042]

[0043] In the formula, To ensure the reliability coordination factor of the low-voltage stage II protection, a range of 0.7-0.8 is generally selected; Z AC The line impedance between busbars A and C;

[0044] The setting value for stage III of the undervoltage protection is

[0045]

[0046] In the formula, The reliability coordination factor for the low-voltage stage III protection can be taken as 0.8-0.9; I L.max This is the maximum load current flowing through the line when the system is under maximum load.

[0047] Furthermore, Take 0.7-0.8; Choose 0.7-0.8; Take 0.8-0.9.

[0048] Secondly, the present invention provides a fast microgrid protection device based on inverter PWM signals, comprising:

[0049] Signal acquisition module: used to acquire the internal PWM signal of the converter;

[0050] Integration module: used to integrate the PWM signal inside the converter to obtain the equivalent electromotive force of the actual output of the converter;

[0051] Correction module: used to correct the voltage of each converter node in the microgrid based on the equivalent potential actually output by the converter, so as to obtain the corrected node voltage;

[0052] Protection module: used for segmented current direction-low voltage protection of the microgrid based on the corrected node voltage.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0054] 1. The present invention proposes a fast microgrid protection method and device based on inverter PWM signal. The effective value of the inverter output voltage is obtained by integration. The voltage change is relatively obvious, which ensures that the fault can be cut off in time when a fault occurs in the microgrid, and ensures that the new energy power supply will not be damaged.

[0055] 2. This invention utilizes a sliding module to perform half-wave or quarter-cycle integration on the PWM signal inside the inverter to obtain the effective value of the inverter output voltage. This method can obtain the voltage within half a cycle or a quarter cycle. When a fault occurs in the system, the voltage will be too low. Therefore, by equipping the output voltage obtained based on integration with appropriate protection measures, it is possible to effectively balance the operational safety of power electronic equipment inside the microgrid and the relay protection characteristic quantity requirements of the microgrid.

[0056] 3. This invention addresses microgrids containing a large amount of renewable energy power sources by proposing a fast microgrid protection method based on the inverter's internal PWM signal. By referencing the traditional three-stage overcurrent protection method, a three-stage undervoltage protection method is incorporated within the microgrid. This method effectively improves protection performance by utilizing a significantly varying voltage as a relay protection characteristic, addressing the challenges of short electrical distances between electrical devices within the microgrid and the relatively insignificant changes in fault current.

[0057] 4. The fast microgrid protection method based on the internal PWM signal of the inverter proposed in this invention is designed based on the inverter component contained in all new energy power sources. It can be widely used in microgrids containing different types of new energy sources and has high versatility.

[0058] The fast microgrid protection method based on the inverter's internal PWM signal proposed in this invention can be applied to microgrids containing a large amount of renewable energy generation, improving the reliability and security of power supply and renewable energy generation in both grid-connected and off-grid modes. Attached Figure Description

[0059] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of a fast microgrid protection method and device based on inverter PWM signals.

[0060] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the protection method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0061] 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.

[0062] Example 1:

[0063] This embodiment provides a fast microgrid protection method based on inverter signals for selectively disconnecting lines in a microgrid that have experienced short-circuit faults. It includes: (1) proposing a theoretical basis for using the half-wave integral or quarter-cycle integral of the internal PWM signal sliding window as a criterion; (2) proposing a node voltage correction algorithm using the internal PWM integral signal (involving multiple inverter power supplies within the microgrid); and (3) proposing a segmented current direction-low voltage protection method for correcting node voltages and its implementation method.

[0064] This method specifically includes:

[0065] The protection criterion is to use the half-wave or quarter-cycle integral of the PWM signal sliding window inside the converter as the protection criterion and to correct the node voltage. When a short-circuit fault occurs on the microgrid line, the fault is cleared by the segmented current direction-low voltage protection.

[0066] Specifically, due to the short distances between lines in a microgrid, the current changes in the lines are not significant enough when a fault occurs. Regardless of whether the microgrid is in grid-connected or off-grid mode, it is difficult to use traditional segmented current protection to determine which line is faulty. However, the voltage values ​​at each node in a microgrid change significantly during a fault. Using the characteristics of voltage values ​​as the protection criterion helps ensure the four characteristics of relay protection (reliability, sensitivity, selectivity, and speed).

[0067] Specifically, the PWM signal inside the inverter modulates the output current of the AC / DC converter by adjusting the pulse width. The PWM signal consists of high and low levels. This PWM signal is fed into an integrator, which integrates the PWM signal (the per-unit value of the converter output voltage) using a sliding window with a width of π to obtain the converter's internal potential. The formula for calculating the half-wave integral of the PWM signal starting at any given time is:

[0068]

[0069] E=α1U dc

[0070] Where: α1 is the duty cycle of the PWM waveform obtained by half-wave integration; θ represents any time at the start of integration; f(wt) is the PWM waveform inside the converter; U dc E is the converter output voltage under normal operating conditions; E is the equivalent potential of the actual output of the converter.

[0071] Specifically, the method based on the quarter-cycle integration of the PWM signal within the converter's internal sliding window shortens the signal processing time by integrating the PWM signal starting at any given time using a sliding window of a certain width. This method allows for unlimited sampling time of the PWM signal while ensuring the accuracy of the integration result. The integration calculation formula starting from any given time is as follows:

[0072]

[0073] E=α2U dc

[0074] Where: α2 is the duty cycle of the PWM waveform obtained by half-wave integration; A is the first PWM pulse width of the sliding-out window; B is the first PWM pulse width of the sliding-in window.

[0075] Specifically, the half-wave or quarter-cycle integral of the PWM signal sliding window is used as the equivalent electromotive force of the actual output of the converter with equivalent three-segment current direction-low voltage protection.

[0076] To ensure the reliability of the protection operation, a start-up value U is set for the protection device. Δ When the internal potential obtained by integrating the PWM signal is lower than U Δ The system is identified as having an external line fault and the protection system is activated.

[0077] The voltage change at the converter outlet after a short-circuit fault is used as the activation quantity for segmented undervoltage protection.

[0078] Specifically, for nodes connected to renewable energy sources, the connection of these sources affects the power flow of the system, causing abnormal voltage values, branch current values, and current directions at each node, leading to protection failures or maloperations. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the voltage of each converter node in the microgrid to eliminate the influence of the converter power supply on the node voltage and branch current during a microgrid fault, thus ensuring the reliability of the protection actions configured on the line. After a fault occurs, the corrected voltage of each converter node is as follows:

[0079] U k.i =E i -U dc.i

[0080] Among them: U k.i E is the corrected voltage at node i. i U is the actual output voltage of the converter at node i obtained by integration. dc.i This is the output voltage with converter node i in normal system operation.

[0081] Specifically, the setting method for segmented current direction-low voltage protection in microgrids is as follows:

[0082] When a three-phase short-circuit fault occurs in a microgrid, the voltage at the fault point is 0, and the voltage at the protection installation point closest to the short-circuit point is the lowest.

[0083] As attached Figure 1 As shown, taking protection 1 as an example, when a fault occurs in section AB, the voltage at bus A is the lowest point. When the power direction element installed on the line determines that the current direction is positive, the low-voltage protection stage I at protection 1 immediately operates, disconnecting the line without delay. Its operating setting value is...

[0084]

[0085] In the formula, I k Z represents the fault current measured on line AB when a three-phase short-circuit fault occurs; AB The impedance of the line between busbars A and B is the total length of the line. To ensure the reliability coordination factor of the low voltage stage I protection, a value of 0.7-0.8 can be used.

[0086] The undervoltage protection stage II of protection 1 should coordinate with the undervoltage protection stage I of line BC. That is, when a short-circuit fault occurs on line BC, the undervoltage protection stage I of protection 2 will operate to clear the fault. At this time, the power direction element determines that the current direction on line AC is from C to A. After a short delay, the undervoltage protection stage II of protection 1 will operate, and the operating setting value of the undervoltage protection stage II of protection 1 will be... for:

[0087]

[0088] In the formula, To ensure the reliability coordination factor of the low-voltage stage II protection, a range of 0.7-0.8 is generally selected; Z AC The line impedance between busbars A and C;

[0089] The undervoltage protection stage III of protection 1 is set for overload protection to ensure that the protection will not malfunction under maximum load. The setting value is... for:

[0090]

[0091] In the formula, To ensure the reliability coordination factor of the undervoltage stage III protection, a value of 0.8-0.9 can be adopted; L.max This is the maximum load current flowing through protection 1 in the line when the system load is at its maximum.

[0092] Specifically, the implementation steps for segmented current direction-undervoltage protection are as follows:

[0093] Step A: For nodes connected to converters, a quarter-cycle integration method based on the sliding window of the converter's internal PWM signal is used to quickly obtain the equivalent potential of the actual output of the converter at that node.

[0094] Step B: If the actual output equivalent potential of the converter at this node is lower than the starting value U Δ If the condition is met, the protection will be activated and the process will proceed to step C; otherwise, the process will proceed to step A. The voltage change at the converter outlet after a short-circuit fault is used as the activation parameter for the segmented undervoltage protection.

[0095] Step C: Correct the node voltage. Calculate the output voltage of the converter node, i.e., the corrected voltage, based on the equivalent potential of the actual output of the converter.

[0096] U k.i =E i -U dc.i

[0097] Reduce the impact of new energy power sources on protection actions;

[0098] Step D: If the node correction voltage is less than the setting value of the low voltage protection section I of this line, it is determined that the fault occurred within the low voltage protection section I range of this line, and the protection will operate immediately; otherwise, the protection will not operate and will jump to step E.

[0099] Step E: If the node correction voltage is less than the setting value of the undervoltage protection stage II of this line, the power direction element on the line determines the current direction. When the current direction is determined to be positive, a short delay is performed. When the voltage magnitude does not change at the end of the delay, the undervoltage protection stage II of this line will operate to clear the fault. If the bus voltage rises to the voltage value under normal operating conditions at the end of the delay, then step A is skipped.

[0100] Step F: If the node correction voltage is less than the setting value of the undervoltage protection stage III of this line, and the power direction element on the line determines that the current direction is positive, the protection will perform a short delay. If the voltage is still low when the delay ends, the undervoltage protection stage III of this line will operate to clear the fault. If the bus voltage rises when the delay ends, it indicates that the fault or overload has ended, and the process will jump to step A.

[0101] The segmented current direction-low voltage protection has three protection stages, I, II, and III, that work together in terms of timing. The operating time of stage II is longer than that of stage I, and the operating time of stage III is longer than that of stage II, thus ensuring the selectivity of the low voltage protection operation.

[0102] Note that in this invention, inverter and converter essentially mean the same thing, both being components that convert direct current to alternating current.
