[0019] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent and readily understood from the following description of the embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0022] Figure 3 A block diagram of an exemplary computer device suitable for implementing embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0024] The following describes a method, apparatus, computer device, and storage medium for processing a metallic ground fault according to embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] It should be noted that the execution body of the method for handling metallic ground faults in the embodiment of the present disclosure is a processing device for metallic ground faults, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware and can be configured in any electronic device.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for processing a metallic ground fault provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for handling the metallic ground fault may include the following steps:

[0028] Step 101: Determine the type of ground fault currently occurring on the grid side of the offshore transformer based on the grid side voltage and the grid connection point voltage amplitude.

[0029] Among them, the system initially operates stably at the rated power level.

[0030] Specifically, if any phase voltage of the offshore transformer grid-side voltage drops to zero and the grid connection point voltage amplitude value drops to a first threshold, it is determined that the current grounding fault type occurring on the transformer grid-side is a single-phase grounding fault.

[0031] For example, if the phase a voltage of the offshore transformer grid-side voltage Vac1_grid drops rapidly to 0 and the grid connection point voltage amplitude Vrms1_grid drops to 80%, that is, when the first threshold is 80%, it is determined that the current ground fault type occurring on the transformer grid-side is a single-phase ground fault.

[0032] A single-phase ground fault is a metallic ground fault occurring on the grid side of an offshore transformer, where only one phase (A, B, or C) is connected to ground, while the other two phases are not. This creates unbalanced current and voltage. In this fault condition, the voltage on the unfaulted phase typically rises rapidly, while the voltage on the faulted phase quickly drops to zero.

[0033] If any two phase voltages of the offshore transformer grid-side voltage drop to zero, and the grid connection point voltage amplitude value drops to a second threshold, the ground fault type is determined to be a double-phase ground fault.

[0034] For example, if the a and b phase voltages of the offshore transformer grid-side voltage Vac1_grid drop rapidly to 0, and the grid connection point voltage amplitude Vrms1_grid drops to between 20% and 30%, the ground fault type is determined to be a double-phase ground fault.

[0035] A double-phase grounding fault occurs when two phases (usually Phase A and Phase B, or Phase B and Phase C) in a power system are simultaneously short-circuited to ground. A three-phase grounding fault occurs when at least one of the three phases (i.e., Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C) in a power system is short-circuited to ground.

[0036] If the grid-side voltage of the offshore transformer drops to zero and the voltage amplitude value of the grid connection point drops to a third threshold, the ground fault type is determined to be a three-phase ground fault, wherein the third threshold is less than the second threshold, and the second threshold is less than the third threshold.

[0037] For example, if the grid-side voltage Vac1_grid of the offshore transformer drops rapidly to 0 and the grid connection point voltage amplitude Vrms1_grid drops to 0, the ground fault type is determined to be a three-phase ground fault.

[0038] During a single-phase fault, the wind turbine generates a certain amount of reactive power. Due to the voltage drop on the grid side of the wind turbine converter, the wind turbine still maintains a certain amount of active power and outputs reactive power during this period.

[0039] During the recovery period after the fault is cleared, the reactive power of the wind turbine changes from providing reactive power to absorbing reactive power to not providing reactive power, and the active power output also returns to the pre-fault level.

[0040] During a two-phase fault, the wind turbine generates a certain amount of reactive power, Q_GS, to counteract the drop in grid-side voltage, V_GS, of the wind turbine converter. During this period, the wind turbine power drops to near zero. After the fault is cleared and the wind turbine recovers, its reactive power output changes from providing reactive power to absorbing reactive power to not providing reactive power, and its active power output also returns to pre-fault levels.

[0041] During a three-phase fault, the wind turbine generates a certain amount of reactive power Q_GS during the fault period. Due to the voltage drop of the grid-side voltage V_GS of the wind turbine converter, the wind turbine power drops to near zero during this period.

[0042] During the recovery period after the fault is cleared, the reactive power of the wind turbine changes from providing reactive power to absorbing reactive power to not providing reactive power, and the active power output also returns to the pre-fault level.

[0043] Step 102: Control the DC voltage based on the onshore converter station to maintain the DC voltage within a first range.

[0044] It should be noted that the DC voltage Edc1 is controlled by the onshore converter station during the fault period and is basically controlled around 1 pu, where 1 pu can be a unit of rated voltage. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first range can be the voltage range corresponding to 1 pu, such as [0.95 pu, 1.05 pu].

[0045] Specifically, the onshore converter station controls the DC voltage by adjusting the converter's control parameters. During a fault, the onshore converter station monitors the DC voltage and takes appropriate adjustments to maintain the DC voltage within the first range. The specific operation includes the following steps:

[0046] Monitoring DC voltage: The onshore converter station will monitor the DC voltage value in real time.

[0047] Control parameter adjustment: Based on the deviation of the DC voltage value from the target range, the onshore converter station will adjust the converter control parameters accordingly, such as changing the converter modulation instructions, so that the DC voltage gradually approaches the target value.

[0048] Stability control: The onshore converter station will continuously monitor and adjust the DC voltage until the DC voltage stabilizes within the first range.

[0049] Optionally, you can also consider adding safety protection functions, such as overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, etc., as well as interlocking mechanisms with other systems to ensure that the system can operate safely under abnormal circumstances.

[0050] Optionally, you can also consider adding backup equipment or redundant control strategies to improve the reliability and robustness of the system.

[0051] Optionally, a remote monitoring and control system can be introduced, allowing operators to monitor the DC voltage status at any time and perform remote control. In short, the DC voltage control solution based on the onshore converter station maintains the DC voltage within a specified range by real-time monitoring and adjusting the converter's control parameters. Furthermore, extended functions such as safety protection, reliability optimization, and remote monitoring may be added as needed.

[0052] Step 103: Control the transmission power to a corresponding power value according to the type of the ground fault.

[0053] Transmission power refers to the power consumed or transferred during signal or energy transmission.

[0054] When the ground fault type is a single-phase ground fault, controlling the transmission power to be in the first interval;

[0055] When the ground fault type is a double-phase ground fault, controlling the transmission power to be in the second interval;

[0056] In the case where the ground fault type is a three-phase ground fault, the transmission power is controlled to be zero, wherein the value of the first interval is greater than that of the second interval.

[0057] The first range may be about 0.6 pu, such as (0.58 pu, 0.63 pu), and the second range may be 0 to 0.1 pu.

[0058] Step 104: Restore the operation of the offshore converter station based on the processing method corresponding to the ground fault type.

[0059] Optionally, when the ground fault type is a single-phase ground fault,

[0060] Providing reactive power support within a preset range to the offshore converter station based on the offshore converter during a fault;

[0061] The AC side voltage is controlled to be raised, and the grid side voltage of the offshore transformer is controlled to be lower than the first voltage.

[0062] For example, under the control of the converter voltage outer loop, the AC side voltage can rise rapidly and recover to above 0.9 pu within 50 ms. During the entire recovery process, Vac1_grid does not exhibit significant overvoltage and is controlled within 1.05 pu. The DC voltage is then restored to 1 pu under the control of the onshore converter station. The first voltage is 1.05 pu. The 1 pu in the disclosed embodiments can be determined based on practical experience.

[0063] Optionally, when the ground fault type is a double-phase ground fault or a three-phase ground fault,

[0064] The converter voltage outer loop is controlled to raise the AC side voltage, and the offshore transformer grid side voltage is controlled to be less than the first voltage. In response to the controller triggering the DC voltage dynamic response, the DC energy consumption device is started.

[0065] It should be noted that the AC side voltage can be increased through the converter voltage outer loop control. At the same time, to ensure that the offshore transformer grid-side voltage is less than the first voltage, the controller may cause a dynamic response in the DC voltage. During this process, a DC energy dissipation device is triggered to dissipate excess DC voltage.

[0066] In the disclosed embodiment, the type of ground fault currently occurring on the offshore transformer grid side is first determined based on the grid-side voltage and the grid connection point voltage amplitude. Then, the DC voltage is controlled at the onshore converter station to maintain the DC voltage within a first range. The transmission power is then controlled to a corresponding power value based on the ground fault type. Finally, operation of the offshore converter station is restored based on the corresponding handling method for the ground fault type. This allows for timely and reliable fault recovery for different types of ground faults, such as single-phase, double-phase, and three-phase ground faults, restoring stable system operation while avoiding overvoltage and overcurrent conditions and improving the fault handling process. This solution proposes a DC voltage control method based on the onshore converter station to maintain the DC voltage within a safe range. Based on the different ground fault types, the transmission power is controlled to operate at the corresponding power value. Furthermore, relevant measures are implemented based on the ground fault handling method to restore normal operation of the offshore converter station. This method effectively addresses the issue of handling metallic ground faults on the AC grid side of offshore wind farms, improving system stability and reliability.

[0076] If any two phase voltages of the offshore transformer grid-side voltage drop to zero, and the grid connection point voltage amplitude value drops to a second threshold, it is determined that the ground fault type is a double-phase ground fault;

[0077] If the grid-side voltage of the offshore transformer drops to zero and the grid-connection point voltage amplitude value drops to a third threshold, it is determined that the ground fault type is a three-phase ground fault.

[0078] The third threshold is smaller than the second threshold, and the second threshold is smaller than the third threshold.

[0079] Optionally, the second control module is specifically configured to:

[0080] When the ground fault type is a single-phase ground fault, controlling the transmission power to be within a first interval;

[0081] When the ground fault type is a double-phase ground fault, controlling the transmission power to be within a second interval;

[0082] When the ground fault type is a three-phase ground fault, the transmission power is controlled to be zero, wherein the value of the first interval is greater than that of the second interval.

[0083] Optionally, the recovery module is specifically configured to:

[0084] When the ground fault type is a single-phase ground fault,

[0085] Providing reactive power support within a preset range to the offshore converter station based on the offshore converter during a fault;

[0086] The AC side voltage is controlled to be raised, and the grid side voltage of the offshore transformer is controlled to be lower than the first voltage.

[0087] Optionally, the recovery module is specifically configured to:

[0088] When the ground fault type is a double-phase ground fault or a three-phase ground fault,

[0089] By controlling the converter voltage outer loop, the AC side voltage is raised, and the grid side voltage of the offshore transformer is controlled to be less than the first voltage;

[0090] In response to the controller triggering the DC voltage dynamic response, the DC energy consumption device is started.

[0091] In the disclosed embodiment, the type of ground fault currently occurring on the offshore transformer grid side is first determined based on the grid-side voltage and the grid connection point voltage amplitude. The DC voltage is then controlled based on the onshore converter station to maintain the DC voltage within a first range. The transmission power is then controlled to a corresponding power value based on the ground fault type. Finally, operation of the offshore converter station is restored based on the corresponding handling method for the ground fault type. This allows for timely and reliable targeted fault recovery for different types of ground faults, such as single-phase, double-phase, and three-phase ground faults, restoring stable system operation while avoiding overvoltage and overcurrent conditions and improving the fault handling process.
