Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of power system analysis and relay protection, and in particular to a method for accurately calculating short-circuit current of a complex distribution network. Background Art

[0002] The current calculation method of short-circuit current of distribution network lines and its shortcomings are as follows: First, the short-circuit current is calculated using the equivalent system impedance calculated by the upper-level power grid, which simplifies the upper-level power grid into an equivalent impedance and ignores its internal structure and characteristics. When certain assumptions such as power grid operation mode and generator status change, the accuracy of the equivalent impedance will be affected, thereby affecting the short-circuit calculation; second, due to the long lines, many branches, many components and complex network structure, the electrical parameters of the distribution network lines are often not fully collected and updated in a timely manner, which will lead to inaccurate calculation of short-circuit current; third, the existing short-circuit calculation method only considers metallic faults, but according to actual operating experience, it is found that distribution network line faults are not only simple metallic short circuits, but are often accompanied by arc short circuits. The arc resistance generated by arc short circuits will also have a certain impact on the short-circuit current. Summary of the invention

At this time, only the metallic short-circuit fault is considered in the effective calculation.
