Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of distribution network relay protection technology, specifically to a microgrid protection method and device adapted to a high proportion of IIDER access. Background Technology
[0002] Renewable energy sources, represented by grid-connected inverter-type distributed power sources, are increasingly being integrated into microgrids that can operate independently and have diverse modes. This has led to traditional relay protection schemes being unable to meet the requirements for protection selectivity and speed in microgrids with high distributed power source penetration.
[0003] Microgrid protection systems must ensure safe operation in both grid-connected and off-grid modes and respond to faults on both the distribution network side and within the microgrid. However, the significant difference in fault current between grid-connected and off-grid modes presents a challenge for microgrid protection. In grid-connected mode, the fault current in the microgrid is relatively large due to the contribution of the main grid. In this case, traditional overcurrent protection can detect the fault and trip. However, in off-grid mode, the fault current is very small. The output current of inverter-interfaced distributed energy resources (IIDERs) is determined by the short-time current-carrying capacity of the semiconductor switches, typically limited to 1.2-2 times the rated current. In this situation, traditional overcurrent protection may fail to operate because it cannot reach the starting current value; furthermore, due to the bidirectional current direction in the microgrid, it may falsely trip, expanding the scope of the power outage.
[0004] Existing research on local microgrid protection is incomplete. For example, the literature [Zeng Dehui. Research on New Principles of Fault Analysis and Protection of Distribution Networks and Microgrids Including Distributed Power Sources [D]. South China University of Technology, 2016] proposes to realize the protection of microgrids in two operating modes through directional element relays of programmable microprocessors. The overall scheme depends on the improved relay settings for different scenarios and installation locations. This method is complex to configure and has a long protection action time, and can only be used as backup protection. The literature [Zhang Erjia. Research on the Principle and Scheme of Multi-layer Cooperative Adaptive Protection of Microgrids [D]. Shanghai Jiaotong University, 2020] proposes a protection scheme of directional overcurrent relays. However, it does not describe the mechanism of starting the overcurrent relay with a small fault current. The literature [Huang Wentao, Tai Nengling, Tang Yuezhong. Analysis of Grid-connected Protection of AC Microgrid Systems [J]. [Automation of Electric Power Systems, 2013, 37(6): 114-120] proposes a microgrid protection method that uses the phase difference between the pre-fault current and the fault current component to determine the fault direction and uses the change in electrical energy during the fault to determine the fault. However, it does not provide an overall effective configuration scheme and lacks a complete microgrid protection scheme. On the other hand, the protection scheme that relies on communication is proposed in the literature [ZAMANI MA, SIDHU TS, YAZDANI A. A Protection Strategy and Microprocessor-Based Relay for Low-Voltage Microgrids[J]. IEEE Transactions on PowerDelivery, 2011, 26(3): 1873-1883]. It proposes a fault direction discrimination method based on the positive sequence current phase comparison of three sets of adjacent protection devices. When judging the fault, it is necessary to compare the information obtained by the three adjacent unit protection modules and then use the voltage drop on the bus to judge the fault. It is difficult to follow the changes in the microgrid topology. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a microgrid protection method and device adapted to high-proportion IIDER access. This method identifies fault segments based on the phase angle difference between the pre-fault voltage and the fault current, and uses the time coordination of improved inverse-time overcurrent protection and undervoltage protection to clear faults, forming a complete microgrid protection method. This method can clear faults locally in both grid-connected and off-grid modes, does not rely on communication, and is economical.

Indicates the circuit breaker return coefficient. This represents the maximum load current of feeder ij during normal operation;
[0025] If it is for the protection of a distributed power source feeder, the inverse time overcurrent setting value should be selected as 0;
[0026] If it is for the protection of the connecting feeder, then,
[0027] The inverse time overcurrent setting values at each protection installation point near the main power grid are:
[0028] ;
[0029] The inverse time overcurrent setting values for each protection installation location far from the main power grid side are:
[0030] ,
[0031] in, This is the ratio of the installed capacity of distributed power sources connected to the end of the interconnecting feeder to the maximum load capacity. This is the maximum load current flowing through the protection of the circuit breaker at the feeder ij outlet during normal operation.
[0032] Preferably, the operating time of the inverse-time overcurrent protection under grid-connected conditions is calculated as follows:
[0033] ;
[0034] Where t is the operating time of the inverse-time overcurrent protection. The fault acceleration factor within the region is represented by the sum of the phase angle difference and the measured impedance. , This refers to the time tuning coefficient of feeder ij under grid-connected conditions. To protect against fault current at the installation location, To protect the measurement impedance at the installation location, To protect the line impedance from the installation point to the end of this feeder.
[0035] Preferably, the calculation of the inverse-time overcurrent setting value under off-grid conditions includes:

Indicates the circuit breaker return coefficient. This represents the maximum load current of feeder ij during normal operation;
[0039] If it is for the protection of a distributed power source feeder, the inverse time overcurrent setting value should be selected as 0;

[0053] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0054] This invention proposes a microgrid protection method with a high proportion of IIDER (In-Time Overcurrent Protection) connections. The fault direction is determined by the phase angle difference between the pre-fault voltage and the post-fault current. An in-zone fault acceleration factor, combining the phase angle difference and measured impedance, is used to improve the operating equation of the inverse-time overcurrent protection, thereby reducing the protection's operating time and improving its speed. To address the issue of protection failure due to small fault currents in off-grid conditions, a low-voltage protection criterion, using the phase angle difference criterion as an auxiliary, is established, resulting in a microgrid protection scheme that integrates improved inverse-time overcurrent protection and low-voltage protection. This method selectively isolates faults in both on-grid and off-grid modes based on local information, is communication-independent, adaptable to topology changes, and is economically efficient.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0060] It should be noted that, as used in this invention, "an embodiment" or "embodiment" refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation of this invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0061] It should be emphasized here that the step markers mentioned below are not a limitation on the order of the steps, but should be understood as meaning that the steps can be executed in the order mentioned in the embodiments, or in a different order than in the embodiments, or several steps can be executed simultaneously.
[0062] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0063] Example 1
[0064] This embodiment 1 provides a microgrid protection method adapted to a high proportion of IIDER access, see [link to documentation]. Figure 1 The specific implementation process of this method is as follows:
[0065] 1. When the program starts, the local protection device continuously collects and processes the voltage and current information at the protection installation location and memorizes the amplitude and phase angle of the voltage and current before the fault.
[0066] 2. When a fault occurs, calculate the phase angle difference between the positive sequence voltage at bus i before the fault and the positive sequence current at protection point ij after the fault: ,in, The voltage at bus i before the fault. To protect the fault current flowing through ij.
[0067] 3. Based on the calculated phase angle difference, determine whether it is a forward fault or a reverse fault. The determination method is as follows (1).
[0068] (1)
[0069] if ,Right now If the value is greater than 0, it is a positive fault; proceed to step 4. ,Right now If the value is less than 0, it indicates a reverse fault, and the process returns to step 1.
[0070] 4. Determine whether the voltage after the fault is lower than the operating voltage. If it is lower than this set value, activate the undervoltage protection and proceed to step 5. If not, return to step 1.
[0071] In power distribution networks, the operating voltage range for undervoltage protection is typically 0.6~0.85 pu. In this method, the operating voltage setting for undervoltage protection is taken as 0.85 pu.
[0072] At the same time, determine whether the microgrid is in grid-connected operation. If it is in grid-connected operation, calculate the inverse-time overcurrent setting value in grid-connected operation; otherwise, calculate the inverse-time overcurrent setting value in off-grid operation and proceed to step 6.
[0073] 5. Start timing according to the low voltage protection action time. When the action time is up, the protection will activate the output circuit breaker and proceed to step 8.
[0074] In this step, the undervoltage protection operating time is determined as follows:
[0075] The settings are performed in a stepped, hierarchical manner, starting with the operating time of the last protection. The operating time of the last undervoltage protection is set higher than that of the inverse-time overcurrent protection, and the operating time of each subsequent undervoltage protection is increased by one step. .in, As a set value, it is usually taken as... =0.2~0.5s.
[0076] 6. Measure whether the current value is higher than the inverse time overcurrent setting value. If yes, proceed to step 7; otherwise, return to step 1.
[0077] 7. Activate the microgrid inverse-time protection and calculate the inverse-time overcurrent setting time. Start timing; when the setting time is up, the protection will activate the output circuit breaker, and proceed to step 8.
[0078] 8. Wait for the circuit breaker's inherent operating time. Once the time is up, proceed to step 9.
[0079] 9. The protection action results in the circuit breaker tripping, and the process ends.
[0080] In step 5 of this embodiment, the inverse-time overcurrent setting value under grid-connected conditions is calculated as follows:
[0081] (2)
[0082] in: The fault acceleration factor within the region is represented by the sum of the phase angle difference and the measured impedance. .
[0083] In the formula: t is the inverse time overcurrent setting time. This refers to the time tuning coefficient of feeder ij under grid-connected conditions; This is the inverse-time overcurrent setting value for feeder ij under grid-connected conditions; To protect against fault current at the installation location; To protect the measurement impedance at the installation location; To protect the line impedance from the installation point to the end of this feeder. Among other things, and The values need to be selected according to the parameter settings of the inverse time overcurrent protection under grid-connected conditions.
[0084] by Figure 2 Taking the grid-connected microgrid model shown as an example, feeders that are connected to the bus at one end and directly connected to the load or IIDER at the other end are called branch feeders (including load feeders and distributed generation feeders), and feeders that are connected to the bus at both ends are called tie feeders.
[0085] The feeder numbering is defined as follows:
[0086] In feeder ij, i refers to the busbar number, and j refers to the line number on the busbar, for example... Figure 2 In the diagram, feeder A1 indicates the line numbered 1 connected to busbar A, and protection A1 indicates the protection at the circuit breaker at feeder A1's output. However, on tie feeders, to distinguish the protection at the output circuit breakers on both sides, the numbering differs, such as... Figure 2 A3 and B1 in the diagram.
[0087] The parameter settings for inverse time overcurrent protection under grid-connected conditions are as follows:
[0088] A. If it is protection for the load feeder
[0089] For load feeders, the direction of the normal current and fault current remains unchanged, but the magnitude of the current changes. The inverse time overcurrent setting parameter of feeder ij is set according to equation (3).
[0090] (3)
[0091] In the formula: This represents the reliability coefficient, with a value ranging from 1.25 to 1.5. This represents the self-starting coefficient, and its value should be greater than 1. This represents the circuit breaker return coefficient, and its value should be less than 1. This represents the maximum load current of feeder ij during normal operation.
[0092] When a load feeder fault occurs, the line output protection does not need to wait; the protection's operating time is the circuit breaker's factory-defined operating time. , This is the factory-defined operating time of the circuit breaker.
[0093] B. Protection for distributed power supply feeders
[0094] Under normal grid-connected operation, distributed generation (DG) feeders need to supply current. When a fault occurs on the DG feeder, the grid and other DG sources provide short-circuit current to the fault point, and the direction of the current detected at the protection installation point is opposite to that under normal conditions. To ensure that the circuit breaker at the DG feeder outlet can operate reliably and quickly during a DG feeder fault, the starting current of the DG feeder can be selected as 0.
[0095] When a fault occurs in the distributed power supply feeder, the line output protection does not need to wait and will operate at the fastest speed. The protection operation time is the circuit breaker's factory-defined operation time. , This is the factory-defined operating time of the circuit breaker.
[0096] C. If it is for the protection of the connecting feeder line
[0097] The setting current values of each protection installation point near the main power grid under grid-connected status, and the starting current of protections A4, A3 and B3 can be set according to formula (3).
[0098] The setting current values of each protection installation point far from the main power grid under grid-connected status, and the starting current of protections D1, B1, and C1 are set according to parameters such as source-load ratio, as shown in equation (4).
[0099] (4)
[0100] In the formula: The ratio of the installed capacity of distributed power sources at the end of the interconnection feeder to the maximum load capacity; This is the maximum load current flowing through the protection of the circuit breaker at the feeder ij outlet during normal operation.
[0101] Regarding the coordination of protection timing, the inverse time overcurrent setting value of B3 is used... According to the selective requirement, when a three-phase metallic short-circuit fault occurs at the outlet of line C2, the operating time of protection B3 is Δt longer than that of protection C2. Substituting into formula (2), the time constant of protection B3 can be obtained, as shown in formula (5):
[0102] (5)
[0103] In the formula, Let C2 be the fault current when a three-phase metallic short circuit occurs at the end of line B2. When a three-phase metallic short circuit fault occurs at the outlet of line B3, the operating time of protection A3 is Δt longer than that of protection B3, and so on. This can be used to calculate the operating time of all protections. After adjustment, the timing coordination on the feeder line is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0104] In step 5 of this embodiment, the inverse-time overcurrent setting value of the microgrid under off-grid conditions is calculated as follows:
[0105] (6)
[0106] in: The fault acceleration factor within the region is represented by the sum of the phase angle difference and the measured impedance. .
[0107] In the formula: t is the inverse time overcurrent setting time; This refers to the time tuning coefficient of feeder ij in off-grid mode; This is the inverse-time overcurrent setting value for feeder ij under off-grid conditions; To protect against fault current at the installation location; To protect the measurement impedance at the installation location; To protect the line impedance from the installation point to the end of this feeder. Among other things, and The values need to be set according to the parameters of the inverse time overcurrent protection in the off-grid state.
[0108] by Figure 4 Taking the off-grid microgrid model shown as an example, feeders that are connected to the bus at one end and directly connected to the load or IIDER at the other end are called branch feeders (including load feeders and distributed generation feeders), and feeders that are connected to the bus at both ends are called tie feeders.
[0109] The parameter settings for inverse time overcurrent protection in off-grid mode are as follows:
[0110] A. If it is protection for the load feeder
[0111] For load feeders, the direction of the normal current and fault current remains unchanged, but the magnitude of the current changes. The inverse-time overcurrent setting value is set according to formula (7).
[0112] (7)
[0113] In the formula: This represents the reliability coefficient, with a value ranging from 1.25 to 1.5. This represents the self-starting coefficient, and its value should be greater than 1. This represents the circuit breaker return coefficient, and its value should be less than 1. This represents the maximum load current of feeder ij during normal operation.
[0114] When a load feeder fault occurs, the line output protection does not need to wait; the protection operating time is the circuit breaker's factory-defined operating time. .
[0115] B. Protection for distributed power supply feeders
[0116] Under normal off-grid operation, distributed generation (DG) feeders need to supply current. When a fault occurs on the DG feeder, other DG sources provide short-circuit current to the fault point, and the current direction detected at the protection installation point is opposite to that under normal conditions. To ensure that the circuit breaker at the DG feeder outlet can operate reliably and quickly during a DG feeder fault, the starting current of the DG feeder can be selected as 0.
[0117] When a fault occurs in the distributed power supply feeder, the line output protection does not need to wait and will operate at the fastest speed. The protection operation time is the circuit breaker's factory-defined operation time. , This is the factory-defined operating time of the circuit breaker.
[0118] C. If it is for the protection of the connecting feeder line
[0119] The setting current values at each protection installation location in the off-grid state, and the starting currents of protections A4, A3, B3, D1, B1 and C1 are set according to parameters such as source-load ratio, as shown in equation (8).
[0120] (8)
[0121] In the formula: The ratio of the installed capacity of distributed power sources at the end of the interconnection feeder to the maximum load capacity; This is the maximum load current flowing through the protection of the circuit breaker at the feeder ij outlet during normal operation.
[0122] Regarding the coordination of protection time, the starting current of B3 is used This indicates that, according to the selective requirement, when the most severe fault occurs at the C2 line outlet, the operating time of protection B3 is Δt longer than that of protection C2. Substituting this into formula (2), the time constant of protection B3 can be obtained, as shown in formula (9).
[0123] (9)
[0124] When the most severe fault occurs at the B3 line outlet, the operating time of protection A3 is Δt longer than that of protection B3, and so on, the operating time of all protections can be calculated. After adjustment, the timing coordination on the feeder line is... Figure 3 similar.
[0125] Example 2
[0126] Based on the microgrid method of Embodiment 1 above, this Embodiment 2 uses... Figure 2 Taking the F5 fault as an example, the entire protection action process under grid-connected conditions is explained:
[0127] 1. Under normal operating conditions, protection devices A3 and B1 continuously collect and process voltage and current information at the protection installation location, and have the function of storing and memorizing voltage and current amplitude and phase angle.
[0128] 2. When a fault occurs, activate the amplitude and phase angle of the memory voltage and memory current, and calculate the phase angle difference between the positive sequence voltage at bus A and B before the fault and the positive sequence current at protection A3 and B1 after the fault. , .
[0129] 3. Calculation and ,get If the microgrid is determined to be in grid-connected operation, protection A3 will proceed to step 6. If the microgrid is determined to be in grid-connected operation, protection B1 will proceed to step 6.
[0130] 4. If the voltage at protection point A3 is lower than 0.85 pu, activate the low voltage protection and proceed to step 5; if the voltage at protection point B1 is lower than 0.85 pu, activate the low voltage protection and proceed to step 5.
[0131] 5. Start timing A3 and B1 protections at 0.4s (the set time for low voltage protection). When the set time is up, the protections will activate circuit breakers A3 and B1, and proceed to step 9.
[0132] 6. Select the setting value for inverse time overcurrent protection under grid-connected conditions. , , , Proceed to step 7;
[0133] 7. Judgment , Proceed to step 8;
[0134] 8. Start the microgrid inverse time protection and calculate the inverse time overcurrent setting time of protection A3 and B1 under the microgrid grid-connected state according to formulas (10) and (11). , Assuming , Start timing; when the set time is up, the protection will activate circuit breakers A3 and B1, then proceed to step 9.
[0135] (10)
[0136] (11)
[0137] 9. Protection B1 first receives the instruction to act in 0.2s, waits for the inherent operating time of the B1 circuit breaker, and when the time is up, proceeds to step 10; Protection A3 first receives the instruction to act in 0.3s, waits for the inherent operating time of the A3 circuit breaker, and when the time is up, proceeds to step 10.
[0138] 10. The protection action trips circuit breakers A3 and B1, and the process ends.
[0139] by Figure 2 Taking the F5 fault as an example, a simulation was performed, and the results are as follows:
[0140] Build such in PSCAD Figure 2The simulation model of the microgrid with IIDER shown is based on a 10kV, 50Hz microgrid connected to the main grid via a 10kV / 110kV step-up transformer. Distributed generation (DG) systems employ a PQ control strategy with low-voltage ride-through capability.
