Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of power automation, and particularly relates to an automatic isolation and grounding system and method for operation and maintenance of a large number of distributed photovoltaic access substations. Background Art

[0002] With the proposal of the "dual carbon" goal, the operation and maintenance work mode of the original distribution substation has been changed after a large number of distributed photovoltaics are connected to the substation. The problem of reverse power transmission caused by the connection of a large number of distributed photovoltaics makes a large amount of preparatory work required for routine inspection or replacement of equipment. To ensure reliable isolation and grounding of the components to be repaired, while spending a large amount of manpower and working time, it also brings greater potential safety hazards to maintenance personnel.

[0003] Since the voltage level of the distribution substation is low (less than 10 kV), the equipment in the substation belongs to normal electrical equipment, with relatively low cost and no particularity. Therefore, the overall automation level of the current substation is low, and there is no large-scale configuration of automated monitoring equipment, resulting in the operation and maintenance efficiency of the current distribution substation completely relying on on-site operation and mainly relying on manpower. Traditional operation and maintenance mainly include sectional search and elimination, single-phase switching off for power outage isolation, manual grounding operation, etc. It not only consumes a lot of manpower and has low efficiency, but on the other hand, the low-voltage substation lines have the characteristics of strong user dispersion. The overall maintenance work of a large number of substations is more onerous. Manual operation and maintenance lead to a sharp increase in labor costs. At the same time, the frequent power outages for maintenance of each substation are relatively long, which is likely to affect the normal electricity use of residents, is not conducive to people's lives and social and economic activities, and also affects the normal operation of the power grid. When maintenance personnel lack professional knowledge, it is also easy to cause safety accidents. The low maintenance efficiency may further lead to an increasing number of faults year by year, further threatening the production and life of residents. With the improvement of the country's requirements for power supply reliability, especially the need for the construction of smart grids, it is urgent to solve this problem. How to improve the operation and maintenance efficiency and ensure the safety of personnel during the maintenance process is a difficult problem in the operation and maintenance of distribution substations for many years. Improving the automation level of operation and maintenance is an effective way to solve this difficult problem. Incorporating the necessary steps of daily operation and maintenance into automated management can better solve the common problems faced by a large number of transformer operation and maintenance tasks, improve the professional level of operation and maintenance, and at the same time greatly ensure the safety of personnel and enhance the reliability of power grid operation.

Description of the Drawings

[0035] Figure 1 It is a diagram of an automatic isolation grounding system for operation and maintenance of a large number of distributed photovoltaic access substations. Specific implementation manner

[0036] 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 cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] A diagram of an automatic isolation grounding system for operation and maintenance of a large number of distributed photovoltaic access substations, as Figure 1 shown, where K1 is a grounding switch, K2 is a disconnector, I g1 , I g2 are the currents on both sides of the grounding switch, and I r1 , I r2 are the currents on both sides of the disconnector; the technical solutions adopted by the present invention include:

[0038] 1) The automatic isolation grounding system for operation and maintenance of a large number of distributed photovoltaic access substations mainly includes a device control cabinet, a signal source, a disconnector, and a grounding switch; among them, the disconnector is used to isolate the maintenance point and the load, and the grounding switch is used to ensure that the maintenance point is grounded, so as to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment;

[0039] 2) The device control cabinet mainly includes functions of a human-machine interface, control decision-making, electrical detection, and on-off determination; the human-machine interface is used to receive the start and end of maintenance, give a determination of reliable on-off, etc. for human-machine interaction; the control decision-making, according to the current working state, disconnects the disconnector and the signal source power switch when starting maintenance, and closes the grounding switch and the signal source injection switch; the electrical detection collects the current signal on both sides of the disconnector and the grounding switch; the on-off determination analyzes the collected signal to determine the reliable disconnection and closing of the switch;

[0040] 3) In the normal state without maintenance, the signal source takes power from the adjacent power grid, and through the rectification part, converts the three-phase power into direct current to charge the capacitor. After the capacitor reaches the preset voltage value, the charging stops. The preset voltage value generally does not exceed 100 volts; at the start moment of maintenance, the switch connecting the signal source to the power grid is disconnected, and the switch connecting to the branch where the grounding switch is located is closed, and the branch where the grounding switch is located starts to discharge. When the capacitor voltage is 0, a cut-off signal is sent to the device control cabinet, and the current signal sequence collected during the capacitor discharge time is used as the judgment basis for the reliable grounding of the grounding switch; the signal source is well-known in the art, and its internal circuit structure will not be described in detail here;

[0041] 4) Reliable disconnection judgment of the disconnector: After the disconnection command of the disconnector is issued, a current signal sequence of a fixed duration is used as the judgment basis to form the current sequences on both sides S1 = {I r11 , Ir12 ,…,I r1n}, and S2 = {I r21 , I r22 ,…,I r2n}, where n is the number of collected current signals. Perform root-mean-square processing on sequences S1 and S2 as shown in Equation (1) to form sequence judgment values S 1r and S 2r . Set the threshold S r . Since the currents on both sides of the disconnector should be close to 0 after reliable isolation, S r should be set to a value close to 0 according to the accuracy of the measuring component;

[0042]

[0043] Perform an AND operation on the comparison result of the sequence judgment value and the threshold with the disconnection switch signal sent by the auxiliary contact of the disconnector as the judgment result for reliable disconnection of the disconnector, as shown in Equation (2).

[0044] S 1r < S r ∩ S 2r < S r ∩ G(2)

[0045] where G is the disconnection switch signal of the auxiliary contact of the disconnector, 1 represents disconnection, and 0 represents connection;

[0046] The value of Equation (2) being 1 represents disconnection, and 0 represents connection.

[0047] 5) Reliable closing judgment of the earthing switch: Use the current sequences S3 = {I g11 , I g12 ,…,I g1m} and S4 = {I g21 , I g22 ,…,I g2m} on both sides of the earthing switch during the capacitor discharge stage as the analysis basis, where m is the number of collected current signals. Perform differential smoothing processing on S3 and S4 as shown in Equation (3) to form new sequences S5 = {I g11p , I g12p ,…,I g1mp} and S6 = {I g21p , I g22p ,…,I g2mp}.

[0048]

[0049] Subtract the corresponding elements with the same time in sequences S5 and S6 to form a new sequence S7, and calculate the root-mean-square value S of S7 through Equation (4) 7r, set the threshold value S rg , since the difference between the currents on both sides of the earthing switch should be close to 0 after reliable earthing, S rg should be set to a value close to 0 according to the accuracy of the measuring component.

[0050]

[0051] Among them, ΔI rm is an element of the sequence S7 formed by subtracting S6 from S5.

[0052] Perform an AND operation on the comparison result between the sequence judgment value and the threshold value and the closing switch signal sent by the auxiliary contact of the earthing switch as the judgment result for reliable closing of the earthing switch, as shown in formula (5).

[0053] S 7r <S rg ∩W(5)

[0054] Among them, W is the closing switch signal of the auxiliary contact of the earthing switch;

[0055] The value of formula (5) being 1 indicates disconnection, and 0 indicates connection.

[0056] An automatic isolation earthing method based on the automatic isolation earthing system includes the steps of:

[0057] The electrical detection module collects the current signals on both sides of the disconnector and the earthing switch and sends them to the control module;

[0058] The control module judges the opening or closing state of the disconnector and the signal source power switch according to the collected signals and outputs control signals; under normal conditions, it issues control signals to close the disconnector and the signal source power switch and open the earthing switch and the signal source injection switch; in the case of starting maintenance, it issues control signals to open the disconnector and the signal source power switch and close the earthing switch and the signal source injection switch;

[0059] The switches in the disconnector, the earthing switch and the signal source are automatically opened or closed according to the control signals.

[0060] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and deformations can still be made, and these improvements and deformations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
