Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sectionalizing switch, in particular to a multifunctional electric sectionalizing switch for transformer substation and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the sectionalizing switch used in the power system of transformer substation is a traditional molded case circuit breaker. The molded case circuit breaker can only realize simple manual opening and closing function, and cannot realize automatic phase checking and automatic switching of standby power. When the operation mode of the power system of transformer substation needs to be adjusted from the split mode to the parallel mode, according to the "Operation Management Regulations of Transformer Substation", the operating personnel need to first disconnect the incoming line power switch of the parallel AC bus, and then close the sectionalizing switch after confirming that the bus has no voltage. The purpose of this operation is to prevent the voltage difference and phase difference between the two sections of AC bus, so as to avoid the phenomenon of non-synchronous closing. However, this operation will cause the short-time voltage loss of the parallel AC bus, thereby causing the power failure of the AC power equipment in the transformer substation and the inability to work. At the same time, the sectionalizing switch used in the transformer substation does not have the fault detection automatic switching function, and cannot realize the automatic detection and switching function of the sectionalizing switch due to the fault voltage loss of the bus, thereby causing the power failure of the power equipment in the transformer substation.
[0003] The disadvantages of the prior art are as follows:

The molded case circuit breaker can only realize simple manual opening and closing function, and cannot realize automatic phase checking and automatic switching of standby power.
[0005] Limited operation mode. When the operation mode of the power system of transformer substation needs to be adjusted from the split mode to the parallel mode, according to the "Operation Management Regulations of Transformer Substation", the operating personnel need to first disconnect the incoming line power switch of the parallel AC bus, and then close the sectionalizing switch after confirming that the bus has no voltage. This operation will cause the short-time voltage loss of the parallel AC bus, thereby causing the power failure of the AC power equipment in the transformer substation and the inability to work.

[0046] Operating mode and working principle
[0047] 1. When busbars I and II are in separate operation, T ak T bk T ck Controllable high-frequency switches V1, V2, and V3 are in the off state, where k = 1, 2, 3, and 4. The entire segmented switch is in a non-operating state.
[0048] 2. When DC bus sections I and II need to operate in parallel, the controller compares the voltage U of bus section II. IIA U IIB U IIC and the output voltage U of the three-phase full-bridge AC / AC converter OA U OB U OC The phase and amplitude of the two values are only considered when the difference between their phase and amplitude is less than the controller setpoint δ. set and U set Only when the time is right will the parallel switch be allowed to conduct, ultimately achieving parallel operation of DC buses I and II, where δ set and U set These are the maximum phase difference and amplitude difference allowed for the two bus segments to operate in parallel, as set by the controller.
[0049] The specific steps are as follows:
[0050] When parallel operation is required, the controller acquires the voltage U of the second-section bus. IIA U IIB U IIC and the output voltage U of the three-phase full-bridge AC / AC converter OA U OB U OC Given the phase and amplitude, calculate the difference between them.

[0056] In the formula U IIN and U ON These are the amplitudes of the three-phase voltage of section II bus and the three-phase voltage output of the converter, respectively, where N = A, B, and C.
[0057] When Δδ>δ set And ΔU>U set At this time, the controller continues to send disconnect commands to the parallel switches V1, V2, and V3, and the DC buses of sections I and II operate separately. The controller then needs to continue adjusting to reduce Δδ and ΔU.
[0058] When Δδ>δ set And ΔU < U set At this time, the controller continues to send disconnect commands to the parallel switches V1, V2, and V3, and the DC buses of sections I and II operate separately. The controller then needs to continue adjusting to reduce Δδ.
[0059] When Δδ < δ set And ΔU>U set At this time, the controller continues to send disconnect commands to the parallel switches V1, V2, and V3, and the DC buses of sections I and II operate separately. The controller needs to continue adjusting to reduce ΔU.
[0060] When Δδ < δ set And ΔU < U set At this time, the controller sends a command to turn on the parallel switches V1, V2, and V3, and the DC buses of sections I and II operate in parallel.
[0061] The working principle of automatic transfer switch for fault diagnosis, and its control principle diagram, are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0062] Figure 2 Middle U IA U IB U IC U IIA U IIB U IIC These are the three-phase bus voltages of sections I and II of the power system, respectively; I 5A I 5B I 5C A small 5th harmonic current is injected into the controller.
[0063] 1. When the molded case switch of bus section I trips due to a short circuit fault, the controller detects the voltage U of bus section I. IA U IB U IC The value. When all bus voltages are less than the unloaded set value:
[0064]
[0065] In the formula U WY The no-pressure setpoint for the controller.
[0066] At this time, the controller determines that the I-section busbar is undervoltage and injects a small 5th harmonic current I into the three phases (A, B, and C) of the I-section busbar. 5A I 5B I 5C Simultaneously, the 5th harmonic voltage value U generated on bus section I was collected. 5A U 5B U 5C .
[0067]

[0069] When Z A Z B Z C All are greater than the impedance setpoint Z of the controller. set If the fault occurs, the controller considers bus section I to be experiencing a transient short-circuit fault. Otherwise, it considers bus section I to be experiencing a permanent short-circuit fault.
[0070] Transient fault criteria
[0071]
[0072] Permanent Fault Criteria
[0073] Z A ≤Z set or Z B ≤Z set or Z C ≤Z set (6)
[0074] When the controller determines that the fault on bus section I is a transient fault, the controller will close the sectionalizing switch after a 5-second delay to ensure normal power supply to the equipment on bus section I of the substation. When the controller determines that the fault on bus section I is a permanent fault, the controller will not take any action.
[0075] 2. When the I-section busbar needs to be de-energized for maintenance, the maintenance personnel should manually disconnect the molded case switch 1. At this time, the maintenance personnel need to disable the automatic transfer function of the fault assessment in the controller in advance, so that the sectionalizing switch does not have the automatic closing function.
[0076] Similarly, the same applies to busbar section II, which will not be elaborated upon here.
[0077] This sectionalizing switch adopts a back-to-back three-phase full-bridge AC / AC topology and utilizes voltage tracking to achieve asynchronous parallel operation of two AC bus sections. By injecting high-frequency small signals, the fault type of the bus is determined. When a transient fault is identified, the controller activates the automatic transfer switch (ATS) function to close the sectionalizing switch, ensuring normal power supply to the AC loads within the substation. When a permanent fault is identified, the controller disables the ATS function. This effectively solves the problem of prolonged power outages of substation equipment caused by transient faults.
