[0026] Step three, simulate the fault arc at different positions according to step two, analyze the voltage amplitude and fault voltage harmonic distortion rate and other characteristics after the fault to obtain the DC voltage characteristic matrix, and study the arc characteristics under different fault arc positions based on the DC voltage characteristic matrix;

[0027] Step four, determine whether the system has a fault arc according to the DC voltage characteristic matrix obtained in step three, and locate the fault according to the fault voltage harmonic distortion rate.

[0028] In step one, the arc mathematical model is:

[0056] (7)

[0057] In the formula, t0 represents the starting time of the arc occurrence, represents the energy accumulation of the DC transient component.

[0058] c. According to the fault arc recognition result, the voltage offset, the voltage change rate, the fault voltage harmonic distortion rate, and the oscillation frequency of the fault branch and the non-fault branch voltage after the fault are fused to locate the fault arc;

[0059] d. The fault arc locating result is used to verify the low-voltage DC arc fault recognition method based on information fusion. The verification process comprises the following steps: a DC microgrid multi-machine parallel system simulation model is built in matlab, different intensity fault arcs at different positions are simulated in the DC microgrid multi-machine parallel system simulation model, the output voltage waveforms of the fault branch and the non-fault branch are collected, the time-frequency analysis method is used for signal processing of the fault voltage, the output voltage feature parameters are extracted, and data analysis is performed.

[0060] Figure 2 The DC voltage simulation waveform under the condition of 30V series fault arc at S1 is given; from Figure 2 It can be seen that the system output DC voltage only fluctuates 6-7V when the fault arc occurs at S1, and it returns to steady state after about 0.1s, and the system has good stability.

[0061] Figure 3 The DC voltage simulation waveform under the condition of 30V series fault arc at S2 is given, wherein L line1 =1.5mH, L line2 =1mH, L line3 =1.5mH, and other parameters are the same; from Figure 3 It can be seen that the system output DC voltage occurs 134Hz super-synchronous oscillation when the fault arc occurs at S2, the oscillation frequencies of the branches are the same and there is a short time delay, V dc2 is delayed by about 2.4ms than V dc1 , V dc3 is delayed by about 4.1ms than V dc1 , and the fault branch port output voltage V dc1 is distorted, and its frequency spectrum is shown in Figure 4 It can be seen from Figure 4 that different L lineThe total harmonic distortion (THD) of the DC output voltage of the non-faulty branches is similar in magnitude, but V dc2 Compared to V dc3 The oscillation deviations are different, L line The larger the value, the greater the DC voltage deviation.

[0062] To investigate the effect of fault arc strength on DC voltage oscillation characteristics, Figure 5 The simulated DC voltage waveform under a 20V series fault arc at point S2 is given. It can be seen from the figure that the voltage oscillation deviation is relatively small. Figure 3 The frequency of the arc decreases but remains almost unchanged. The fault arc occurs at 0.5s and the oscillation occurs about 0.07s later, indicating a certain delay. Therefore, the strength of the arc can be judged by the delay time and voltage offset.

Additionally, V dc1 With V dc2 and V dc3 There is still a certain time lag, but V dc2 and V dc3 Under this operating condition, they oscillate at the same frequency.

[0064] Figure 7 The simulated DC voltage waveform under a 20V series fault arc at point S3 is given, where L line1 =L line2 =L line3 =1mH, where C1=C2=1mF, C3=2mF. and Figure 5 In comparison, the harmonic distortion rate of the output voltage at the faulty branch port is significantly reduced at this time, unlike V. dc1 and V dc2 Increasing capacitor C3 will increase voltage V dc3 The oscillation amplitude decreased significantly.

[0065] Figure 8The simulation waveforms of DC voltage under 30 V series arc fault at S4 are given. It can be seen from the figure that series arc only makes voltage offset about 2.2 V, and it returns to steady state value after about 0.04 s, the system has good dynamic characteristics. By comparing the DC voltage offset, voltage change rate, oscillation frequency and voltage lag characteristics of each branch when arc fault occurs at different positions, the system arc fault recognition and positioning can be realized.
