AI Technical Summary
The existing technology has the problem of insufficient sensitivity of differential protection in double-terminal power electronic power transmission lines. In particular, when there is an internal fault, the differential protection is difficult to operate quickly.
By collecting currents from both sides of the line, the amplitude-phase relationship between the current vectors is constructed, and a braking region is defined on the amplitude-phase plane. When the amplitude-phase relationship between the currents on both sides falls within the braking region, differential protection is blocked. When both currents on both sides are below a set threshold and the amplitude-phase relationship is outside the braking region, differential protection is enabled. When the differential current exceeds the threshold, differential protection is activated.
The sensitivity of the differential protection is improved, ensuring rapid operation in the event of an internal fault, while avoiding false operation in the event of an external fault, thereby improving the reliability of the protection system.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of relay protection, and more particularly to a high-sensitivity differential protection method and system suitable for a double-terminal power electronic power transmission line. Background Art
[0002] Differential protection, a fast-acting protection system that protects the entire length of a line, operates on reliable and advanced principles and is widely used in power grids of 110 kV and above. Due to the advantages of flexible DC transmission, such as independent control of active and reactive power, no commutation failures, and the ability to provide dynamic reactive power support, the direct integration of renewable energy into the grid through flexible DC transmission can effectively improve the operating conditions of the power system.
[0003] There are power electronic equipment on both sides of the new energy to flexible straight line. When a line fault occurs, the current amplitude and phase angle on both sides are affected by the control strategy of the power electronic equipment. When a phase-to-phase fault occurs in the area, the phase angle difference of the fault phase current on both sides may reach 120°~150°. Compared with the characteristic that the current on both sides of the traditional synchronous machine power supply system is basically in the same direction, it shows a more obvious through-characteristic. The differential protection faces the risk of reduced sensitivity or even refusal to operate.
[0004] To address the above issues, existing technologies generally use methods such as reducing the differential protection ratio braking coefficient or lowering the action threshold to improve sensitivity. However, such methods have the problem of reduced reliability of differential protection for out-of-zone faults.
[0005] Prior art CN202011579727.1 discloses an adaptive amplitude ratio active distribution network differential protection method, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Analyze the fault characteristics of the inverter-type distributed power source under constant power control mode to determine the phase relationship between the DG output short-circuit current and the system output short-circuit current under fault conditions; Step 2: Analyze the fault characteristics of the active distribution network containing distributed power sources from the perspective of the relative position relationship between the fault point and the fault section; Analyze the amplitude-phase relationship of the short-circuit current at both ends of the protected area based on different position relationships; Step 3: Utilize the amplitude and phase information of the current at the end of the protected section to propose a protection scheme that uses phase information to adjust the amplitude ratio constraint, set basic protection criteria and improved protection criteria, and adjust the criteria parameters. However, this patented technology does not take into account the problem that the amplitude and phase of the fault current on both sides of the currently widely used two-terminal power electronic power transmission line are controlled when a fault occurs, presenting a through-characteristic, resulting in insufficient sensitivity.
[0006] The prior art CN202211208269.X discloses a current differential protection method and system for an active distribution network, comprising: obtaining the current of the protected section of the active distribution network; judging whether the current differential protection of the protected section of the active distribution network is activated based on the error of the obtained current and the preset current phase margin; when the current differential protection is activated, selecting the differential protection criterion based on whether the current transformer is saturated to realize the differential protection of the active distribution network. The present disclosure combines the fault current characteristics and measurement errors of the active distribution network to give the braking area of the current differential protection on the amplitude-phase plane, and constructs an auxiliary criterion using the harmonic content ratio and amplitude ratio of the secondary current when the CT is saturated. However, this patented technology also has the problem of reduced sensitivity due to the preset action threshold when applied to a two-terminal power electronic power transmission line.
[0007] Other new technologies, including the principle based on the similarity of current waveforms on both sides of the line and the differential protection principle based on model identification, are still in the simulation verification stage and do not meet the conditions for engineering practical application.
[0008] Therefore, it is urgent to study a high-sensitivity line differential protection method suitable for renewable energy transmission lines via flexible direct current (FDC). Summary of the Invention

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described in this application are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the spirit of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a logic diagram of a specific implementation of the present invention, comprising the following steps:
[0048] (1) Collect the current on both sides of the transmission line and obtain the current vectors on both sides, which are recorded as , . For the high-voltage transmission system used in this patent, it also specifically refers to the corresponding A, B, and C three-phase currents.
[0049] (2) If Figure 2 , construct the amplitude-phase relationship of the current phasors on both sides, based on the current vector on one side of the line , and the current vector on the other side Obtain the amplitude and phase relationship of the current on both sides: ,in and They are and The smaller and larger values in .
[0050] (3) Combination Figure 2 , determine the amplitude-phase relationship Whether the braking area phase interval is met: Specifically, the CT phase difference is generally positive. When there is an out-of-zone fault, the currents on both sides are in reverse relationship. Therefore, the phase difference of the CT phase difference relative to 180° is -10°~20°, that is, The value is 170°. The value is 200°.
[0051] (4) Combination Figure 2 , determine the amplitude-phase relationship Whether the braking area amplitude range is met: Specifically, in the amplitude discrimination formula The value of is 0.8, The reason for taking the value of 1.0 is that the fault current outside the line area has a through-characteristic, and the error that may be caused by CT transmission is taken into account.
[0052] (5) When the amplitude-phase relationship When the phase interval and amplitude interval range of the braking area are met, the differential protection is locked.
[0053] (6) When the amplitude-phase relationship When it is not in the braking area and the current on both sides of the line is less than 1.2In ( , ), combined with the differential current condition ( ) Protect protection action.
[0054] Combine Figure 2 To further illustrate, the traditional operating range in the figure represents the amplitude-phase plane representation of conventional ratio differential protection (with a ratio braking coefficient of 0.6). The enhanced sensitive differential protection operating range, introduced in this patent, expands the traditional differential protection operating range. For scenarios similar to two-terminal power electronic power supply systems, such as those from renewable energy to flexible lines, the highly sensitive differential protection maintains correct operation for out-of-range faults and significantly improves differential protection sensitivity for in-range faults.
[0055] The present application also discloses a differential protection system for a two-terminal power electronic power supply line based on the aforementioned differential protection method, comprising a sampling module, a calculation module, and a signal output control module;
[0056] The sampling module is used to collect the instantaneous current values of the local differential protection and the opposite differential protection of the double-terminal power electronic power supply line;
[0057] The calculation module is used to calculate the amplitude-phase relationship of the current of the double-terminal power electronic power supply circuit and determine the amplitude-phase relationship. ,in, and The current vectors at both ends of the line are and The smaller and larger values in .
[0058] In the calculation module, the differential protection braking zone is determined by:
[0059] The current phase on both sides of the line meets , and the current amplitude relationship on both sides satisfies ;
[0060] in, The value is 170°. The value is 200°. The value is 0.8, The value is 1.
[0061] The signal output control module is used to determine the amplitude-phase relationship and to control the output of the differential protection action signal in combination with the differential protection action characteristics.
[0062] Simulation verification:
[0063] Combine Figure 3The 220kV offshore wind power to flexible DC transmission line model shown is used to simulate and verify the improved sensitive differential protection.
[0064] Figure 4 This is the running trajectory of the current on both sides on the amplitude-phase plane after an out-of-zone fault. When the line is operating normally, through-load current flows on both sides of the line with opposite directions and equal magnitudes. In the amplitude-phase plane, the landing point is located in the braking zone. When a fault occurs at point AN of the busbar F1 outside the zone on the M side, through-current flows on both sides of the line. Due to the influence of the line capacitance current, the magnitudes of the currents on both sides of the line are slightly inconsistent. The amplitude-phase relationship jitters in the braking zone, but does not exceed the range of the braking zone, so the differential protection will not malfunction.
[0065] Figure 5 This is the trajectory of the amplitude and phase relationship of the current on both sides after the metallic fault on phase A at point F2 in the area. It quickly crosses the braking area before the fault to the action area, and the differential protection operates quickly.
[0066] Figure 6 For the fault of phase A at point F2 in the area through a 100-ohm transition resistor, the running trajectory of the current on both sides of the line on the amplitude-phase plane is similar to that of the metallic fault in the area. The differential protection can also operate quickly, ensuring the sensitivity of the differential protection.
