When the flexible direct current grid adopts a bipolar structure, the redundancy of the entire flexible direct current grid is higher and the operation mode is more complicated. In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the flexible direct current grid and minimize the transmission power loss when the system fails, high-voltage direct current circuit breakers can be fully utilized. Direct current circuit breakers can quickly cut off direct current and isolate faults, but different operation modes correspond to different connection relationships, so formulating different metal return line protection methods according to the connection relationship is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0060] The core of the present invention is to provide a metal loop protection method and device to avoid malfunction of the DC transmission system due to erroneous data. After a metal loop fails, the subsequent protection strategy is determined according to whether the operation mode is a single-stage end-to-end form, and the protection method is suitable for multiple operation modes.

[0061] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] Figure 1A flow chart of a metal loop protection method provided by the present invention, the metal loop protection method is applied to a metal loop protection device, the metal loop protection device is used to protect a DC power transmission system, each substation in the DC power transmission system is provided with a DC circuit breaker on the side of the positive DC line and the negative DC line close to itself, and a DC conversion switch is provided on the side of each metal loop close to itself, for any substation, itself is regarded as the local station, and the substation connected to itself is regarded as the opposite station, the local station outputs current to the opposite station through the positive DC line or the negative DC line, and returns current from the opposite station to the local station through the metal loop;

[0063] Metal return line protection method, including:

[0064] S11: obtaining the current of the metal loop connected to the local station, the current of the metal loop connected to the opposite station, and the state of the DC conversion switch on the metal loop connected to the local station, including the state of on and off;

[0065] S12: When the current collection of the metal loop connected to the local station is normal, the current collection of the metal loop connected to the opposite station is normal, and the state of the DC conversion switch is normal, it is determined whether a metal loop fault occurs;

[0066] When judging a metal return line fault, it is necessary to confirm whether a fault actually occurs based on the current. If the current acquisition is normal, it means that the acquired current value is correct. Based on this current value, it can be determined whether a metal return line fault actually occurs.

[0067] If the current collection is abnormal, it will not be accurate enough to determine whether the metal return line has a fault based on the collected current.

[0068] S13: When the operation mode is single-stage end-to-end operation and a metal return line fault occurs, the DC circuit breaker of the station is controlled to be disconnected. The single-stage end-to-end operation means that the station transmits electric energy only with one other station through the positive DC line and the metal return line or the negative DC line and the metal return line;

[0069] When operating in single-stage end-to-end mode, there may not be other metal return line connections that have not failed, and thus other metal return line connections cannot be used. Therefore, the DC circuit breaker of this station can only be controlled to disconnect.

[0070] S14: When the operation mode is non-single-stage end-to-end operation and a metal return line fault occurs, control the station to shut down or disconnect the DC conversion switch on the metal return line.

[0071] When the operation is not single-stage end-to-end, the metal loop connection relationship is more diverse. It may not be necessary to control the station to shut down, and the DC conversion switch can be controlled to disconnect. Of course, there are also situations where the station can be shut down.

[0072] Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of a direct current transmission system provided by the present invention;

[0073] Figure 2 Among them, S1 is the first substation, S2 is the second substation, S3 is the third substation, S4 is the fourth substation, P1 is the positive pole, P2 is the negative pole. M12, M23, M34 and M41 are all metal return lines.

[0074] Current transmission can be achieved between substations. For example, if the positive pole (S2.P1) of the second substation wants to transmit electric energy to the positive pole of the first substation (S1.P1), it will reach the first substation from the high-voltage circuit breaker, DC line, and high-voltage circuit breaker on the side of the second substation, and then return to the second substation from the metal return line M12. The transmission between negative poles is the same as above, and this application will not be repeated here.

[0075] The present invention discloses a metal loop protection method, which relates to the field of flexible direct current transmission system, including judging whether a metal loop fault occurs when the current collection of the metal loop connected to the station is normal, the current collection of the metal loop connected to the other station is normal, and the state of the direct current conversion switch is normal; when the operation mode is single-stage end-to-end operation and a metal loop fault occurs, controlling the direct current circuit breaker of the station to be disconnected; when the operation mode is non-single-stage end-to-end operation and a metal loop fault occurs, controlling the station to be closed or controlling the direct current conversion switch on the metal loop to be disconnected. When it is determined that the state of each metal loop collection is normal, it is judged whether a metal loop fault occurs to avoid malfunction of the direct current transmission system due to erroneous data. After the metal loop fails, the subsequent protection strategy is determined according to whether the operation mode is single-stage end-to-end, and the protection method is suitable for multiple operation modes.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments:

[0077] In some embodiments, the DC power transmission system further includes a mutual inductor, which is arranged on the metal loop line, and the metal loop line protection device further includes three measurement modules, which are all connected to the mutual inductor;

[0078] Get the current of the metal return line connected to this station, including:

[0079] The current at the same measuring point on the metal loop collected by the three measurement modules is obtained, which are I M1 ,I M2 and I M3 ;

[0080] The current collection of the metal return line connected to this station is normal, including:

[0081] The current I at the same measuring point on the metal loop collected by three measurement modulesM1 ,I M2 and I M3 The absolute value of the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​is greater than I M1 ,I M2 and I M3 When the current collection of the metal return line connected to this station is normal, it is determined that the current collection of the metal return line connected to this station is normal.

[0082] The three analog quantity acquisition modules collect the metal loop current at the same measuring point, and the sampling values ​​are I M1 ,I M2 ,I M3 , the collected current is sent to the central processing module, the central processing module determines whether the collected current is normal, if it is normal, it is sent to the data processing module, if it is abnormal, it exits the corresponding protection, and sends the current abnormality signal to the inter-station communication module. The specific judgment logic is: I M1 ,I M2 ,I M3 The absolute value of the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​is greater than 0.2 times the average value.

[0083] In some embodiments, the metal return line protection device further includes a collection module, and the collection module is connected to the DC conversion switch on the metal return line;

[0084] Get the status of the DC switch on the metal return line connected to this station, including:

[0085] Acquire the feedback signal of the DC conversion switch collected by the collection module;

[0086] The state of the DC conversion switch corresponding to the feedback signal is determined according to the feedback signal.

[0087] The DC metal loop protection device includes three analog quantity acquisition modules to collect the metal loop current; and three switch quantity acquisition modules to collect the opening and closing status of the isolating switch and DC conversion switch in the metal loop. The DC metal loop protection device includes six inter-station communication modules to communicate with the DC metal loop protection of the opposite station, collect the metal loop current of the opposite station, whether the metal loop current measurement of the opposite station is normal, and the connection status of the metal loop, and send the above information of this station to the inter-station communication module of the corresponding protection device of the opposite station.

[0088] In some embodiments, after obtaining the current of the metal loop connected to the local station, the current of the metal loop connected to the opposite station, and the state of the DC conversion switch on the metal loop connected to the local station, the method further includes:

[0089] When there is an abnormal current in the metal loop connected to the local station, an abnormal current in the metal loop connected to the opposite station, an abnormal state of the DC conversion switch, or communication between the local station and the opposite station is interrupted, a fault signal is generated.

[0090] When it is confirmed that the communication is interrupted or the current value is abnormal, it is inaccurate to control the on and off of the DC transmission system according to the abnormal value, which is easy to cause malfunction, so a fault signal is generated for the user to handle.

[0091] In some embodiments, the metallic loop protection device further includes an inter-station communication module, the inter-station communication module is connected to the substation in a one-to-one correspondence, and the inter-station communication module of the station is communicatively connected with the inter-station communication module of the opposite station;

[0092] Also includes:

[0093] Send a heartbeat signal to the inter-station communication module of the opposite station through the inter-station communication module of the local station;

[0094] If the inter-station communication module of the opposite station cannot receive the heartbeat signal sent by the inter-station communication module of the local station, or the heartbeat signal does not change according to the preset period, it is determined that the communication between the local station and the opposite station is interrupted;

[0095] Obtain the current of the metal return line connected to the station, including:

[0096] The current of the metal return line connected to the opposite station is obtained, which is forwarded by the inter-station communication module of the opposite station and the communication module of the local station.

[0097] Metal return line current I OM1 ,I OM2 ,I OM3 The signal of whether the current measurement is normal and the signal of the metal loop connection status are sent to the inter-station communication module of the DC metal loop protection device of the station through the inter-station communication module in the DC metal loop protection device of the station, and the inter-station communication module of the station sends the above signals to the central processing module. If the inter-station communication module of the station does not receive the data of the station or the inter-station communication fails or the current measurement of the station is abnormal, the station will exit the corresponding protection.

[0098] The inter-station communication module in the protection device of this station sends a "heartbeat" signal to the inter-station communication module in the protection device of the other station. The heartbeat signal periodically changes from 1, 2, 3... to 100. If the inter-station communication module of the other station does not receive the "heartbeat" signal, or the signal does not change periodically, the inter-station communication module of the other station sends a "communication failure" signal to the inter-station communication module of this station.

[0099] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a structure in which a fault occurs at a negative terminal end provided by the present invention;

[0100] In some embodiments, when the operation mode is single-stage end-to-end operation, controlling the DC circuit breaker of the station to disconnect includes:

[0101] When the operation mode is single-stage end-to-end operation, the DC circuit breaker of the control station and the DC short circuit breaker of the opposite station are disconnected;

[0102] After the preset time, the DC circuit breaker of this station and the DC short circuit breaker of the opposite station are controlled to close;

[0103] Determine whether the current collection of the metal loop connected to the local station is normal, the current collection of the metal loop connected to the opposite station is normal, and the state of the DC conversion switch is normal;

[0104] If not, the DC circuit breaker of this station and the DC short circuit breaker of the opposite station will be disconnected, and this station will be closed.

[0105] When the system is running in single-end peer mode, Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when a fault occurs in the metal return line, the DC metal return line protection is activated, and the high-voltage DC circuit breakers of the local station and the opposite station (each end corresponds to a converter station, the local station is the converter station at the local end, and the opposite station is the converter station at the opposite end) are tripped. After the fault is freed for a certain time (after the fault is sent, the fault recovery takes a certain amount of time, and it must be delayed until the fault disappears before closing, otherwise the fault still exists after closing and the circuit breaker must be tripped again), the DC circuit breaker is reclosed. If the fault still exists, the high-voltage DC circuit breaker is tripped again and the converter valve is locked.

[0107] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a DC conversion switch provided by the present invention that cannot reach the grounding resistor without passing through a faulty metal return line;

[0108] In some embodiments, when the operation mode is non-single-stage end-to-end operation, controlling the station to shut down or controlling the DC conversion switch on the metal return line to disconnect includes:

[0109] Determine whether the DC conversion switch near the station can connect the metal return line through the metal return line that has not failed to connect to the grounding resistance of the metal return line;

[0110] If it is possible to connect to the grounding resistance of the metal return line through a metal return line that has not failed, disconnect the DC conversion switch close to this station;

[0111] If it is not possible to connect to the grounding resistance of the metal return line through a metal return line that has not failed, the station will be controlled to be closed.

[0112] The operation mode of the DC power grid, the present application is a four-terminal, bipolar DC power grid, and the operation mode has two dimensions: unipolar / bipolar, four-terminal / bipolar (end-to-end), then the corresponding combinations are called unipolar end-to-end operation, bipolar end-to-end operation, bipolar four-terminal operation, unipolar four-terminal operation. When the system operation mode is not unipolar end-to-end operation, the metal loop fails, and the DC metal loop protection is activated, and the DC conversion switches on both sides of the metal loop are tripped. When executing the tripping DC conversion switch, it is necessary to determine the connection status of the metal loop. When the DC conversion switch is connected to the grounding resistor without passing through the faulty metal loop, the jump conversion switch instruction is executed, such as Figure 4 When the DC conversion switch cannot be connected to the grounding resistor without the faulty metal return line, the jump switch command is not executed and the converter valve is locked, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0113] In some embodiments, determining whether a metal return line fault occurs includes:

[0114] Determine the number of operations of the current action protection condition, where the action protection condition includes a first action protection condition, a second action protection condition, and a third action protection condition;

[0115] Among them, the expression of the first action protection condition is | I M1 +I OM1 |>Max(| I M1 -I OM1 |×k, Iset), the expression of the second action protection condition is | I M2 +I OM2 |>Max(| I M2 -I OM2 |×k, Iset), the expression of the third action protection condition is | I M3 +I OM3 |>Max(| I M3 -I OM3 |×k,Iset),I M1 ,I M2 and I M3 The current of the metal loop connected to this station, k is the proportional coefficient, and Iset is the protection start setting;

[0116] When the number of operations is three, the first action protection condition, the second action protection condition and the third action protection condition are operated simultaneously, and when at least two action protection conditions are met, it is determined that a metal return line fault occurs;

[0117] When the number of operations is two, any two of the first action protection condition, the second action protection condition and the third action protection condition are operated, and when at least one action protection condition is met, it is determined that a metal return line fault occurs;

[0118] When the number of operations is one, one of the first action protection condition, the second action protection condition and the third action protection condition is operated, and when one action protection condition is satisfied, it is determined that a metal return line fault occurs.

[0119] 1. The specific calculation logic is:
