Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system relay protection and fault analysis technology, and more specifically, to a method for optimizing the inverse-time overcurrent protection settings of a distribution network with inverter-type distributed energy resources based on an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm. Background Technology

[0002] Distributed power sources, such as wind power and photovoltaics, and energy storage systems can form inverter-type power sources. Due to the uncertainty of inverter-type power sources, the source-load duality, and the fact that their output characteristics are closely related to the converter control strategy, and the low-voltage ride-through capability requirement that inverter-type power sources disconnect from the grid after a certain period of time, the power flow direction and short-circuit current level will change fundamentally after a distribution network fault. This may lead to maloperation or failure to operate of conventional inverse-time overcurrent protection in distribution networks, posing challenges to the setting and coordination of protection in new distribution networks.

[0003] However, current optimization models do not address the source-load duality of inverter-based distributed energy resources (IDERs) and inverter control strategies, and protection schemes remain at the single-objective optimization stage, exhibiting weakened speed and sensitivity, as well as selectivity mismatch issues. Therefore, further research is needed on inverse-time overcurrent protection optimization models for distribution networks that consider the impact of inverter-based power sources and satisfy multiple objectives to address the weakened speed and sensitivity, and selectivity mismatch problems present in existing optimization models. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of weakened speed and sensitivity and selective mismatch in optimization models with action time as the single objective, and to provide an inverse time-limited overcurrent protection setpoint optimization method based on an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm with adaptive inertia weight, learning factor, adaptive grid density and Cauchy mutation operator.

[0103] In this embodiment, the protection device settings of the 6-node inverter-type distributed energy distribution network system are optimized and adjusted, as shown in the schematic diagram below. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the line length between each node is 2km, and the unit impedance is 0.06 + j0.089Ω / km; the power factor of each load is 0.92. The inverter-type distributed power sources IIDG1, IIDG2, and IIDG3 each have a capacity of 4.5MW, with active power of 1.5MW, 1.5MW, and 0.5MW respectively, and reactive power of 0MVAR. The energy storage systems ESS1 and ESS2 each have a capacity of 3.53MW, with active power of 1MW and reactive power of 1MVAR. The switching strategies α1 and α2 are set to 1 by default.

[0105] To highlight the superiority of the improved algorithm in this invention, NSGA-II, MOGADE, standard MOPSO, and improved MOPSO are used to solve multi-objective optimization models. A Spacing metric is introduced to measure Z. p The uniformity of S is shown in Table 1, and the results of different algorithms are also presented.min S is the minimum value of Spacing. std Spacing standard deviation; population size, maximum number of iterations G, and number of particles N in the external archive REP. R Maintain consistency.

[0106] Table 1 Comparison of the solution performance of different algorithms

[0107]

[0108] Comparing the objective values ​​obj1 and obj2 of each algorithm in Table 1, it can be seen that the improved MOPSO (Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization) can escape the search range and find a solution with a smaller objective value, namely [3.487, 2.083]. Compared with the standard MOPSO, the proposed scheme shortens the protection action time by 40ms and reduces the sensitivity by 1.501, effectively solving the problem that the standard MOPSO is prone to getting trapped in local optima. Compared with the solution performance of NSGA-II (Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm) and MOGADE, the optimization scheme of the improved MOPSO has significant improvements in both speed and sensitivity.

[0109] The index S of the proposed solution in this invention min and S std Smaller than standard MOPSO and MOGADE metrics, ensuring Z p The uniformity is good; although the index is larger than that of NSGA-II, NSGA-II suffers from local optima and cannot guarantee uniformity for Z. p The improved MOPSO proposed in this invention balances the convergence accuracy and search capability in solving the Pareto front in terms of evolutionary mechanism, REP maintenance strategy, and mutation operation strategy, demonstrating the advantages of the proposed inverse time-limit protection scheme in terms of protection speed and sensitivity.

[0110] To verify the good protective performance of the multi-objective optimization model proposed in this invention, the speed, sensitivity, and selectivity of the following three optimization models are compared based on the improved MOPSO: ① Optimization model, i.e. Figure 3 China BC i No motion curve and and respectively by and Decision. ② Considering the single optimization objective of sensitivity and speed, Obj = obj1 + obj2. ③ The multi-objective optimization model of this scheme.

[0111] Comparison of protection speed and sensitivity

[0112] When a two-phase short-circuit fault occurs at the protection outlet of the distribution network, the minimum operating time difference, maximum operating time difference, total operating time of the main protection, total operating time of the backup protection, and the sum of sensitivity based on the above three optimization models are shown in Table 2. The fault transition resistance is 1Ω.

[0113] Table 2 Comparison of protection speed and sensitivity under different optimization models

[0114]

[0115] As shown in Table 2, compared with model ③ proposed in this invention, the minimum action time difference of model ① is reduced to 39ms, the sum of sensitivity is increased by 0.11, and the action time difference is less than t. CTImin (200ms) or greater than t CTImax In the case of (400ms), the mismatch between upper and lower level protection is caused; in Model ②, the total action time of the main protection and the total action time of the backup protection are extended by 65.9ms and 73.1ms respectively, the maximum action time difference is shortened by 17.7ms, the sum of sensitivity increases by 2.79, which cannot guarantee the speed of protection and the sensitivity is severely restricted.

[0116] Comparison of protective selectivity

[0117] Under different fault locations (point F moves from 0.4km to 2km in the interval), the change curve of the action time difference ΔT of the protection coordination relationship CR1 in models ①-③ is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. The fault type is a two-phase short-circuit fault, and the transition resistance is 1Ω. (From...) Figure 5 It can be seen that when point F moves from the beginning to the end of the interval, the ΔT of models ①-③ shows a monotonically decreasing trend. Furthermore, the ΔT of models ② and ③ is greater than t. CTImax (400ms) its motion curve and The two models cannot effectively coordinate and cooperate; however, Model ① can meet the protection coordination requirements across the entire line. Therefore, the proposed optimization model can take into account the selectivity, speed, and sensitivity of the protection, and also reflects the rationality and correctness of considering a multi-objective model.

[0118] As shown in Table D3, inverter-type distributed energy scenarios with different access locations and capacities are set up. The sum of the optimized total operating time of the main protection, the total operating time of the backup protection, and the sensitivity for each scenario is as follows: Figure 6 As shown. By Figure 6 It can be seen that the maximum sum of the total operating time of the main protection, the total operating time of the backup protection, and the sensitivity does not exceed 1.8s, 2.2s, and 2.5s, respectively, which can maintain good speed and sensitivity. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed protection scheme is not affected by the type of inverter-type distributed energy, the access location, and the capacity, and it has good adaptability.

[0119] Figure 6 The inverter-type distributed energy source connected to node 3 is experiencing grid disconnection. Figure 6 Table 3 shows the changes in the operating time of the main protection (BC3) and backup protection (BC2) before and after grid disconnection in the five scenarios illustrated. As can be seen from Table 3, the operating times of both the main protection (BC3) and backup protection (BC2) change after the inverter-type distributed energy source is disconnected from the grid. The change in the operating time of BC2 is particularly significant, with a time difference of up to 0.1175 seconds before and after grid disconnection. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the multi-objective optimization model considering the grid disconnection process of the inverter-type distributed energy source, and that the proposed protection scheme still guarantees selectivity and speed.

[0120] Table 3 shows the changes in protection action time during the grid disconnection process of inverter-type distributed energy sources.

[0121]

[0122] The calculation results above show that the proposed method for optimizing the inverse-time overcurrent protection settings of distribution networks with inverter-type distributed energy sources, based on an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm, significantly improves the protection's effectiveness. The optimized settings accurately reflect the coordination relationship of the action curves, greatly enhancing protection sensitivity and speed performance. Furthermore, it exhibits strong adaptability to different inverter-type distributed energy source types, access locations, and capacities, thereby improving the absorption capacity of new energy sources. This invention has advantages such as low implementation cost, wide applicability, and strong practicality; it can be applied to distribution lines with communication automation functions.
