Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power grid short-circuit fault direction determination, and in particular relates to a power grid short-circuit fault direction determination method based on current variation characteristics. Background Art
[0002] With the integration of new energy power sources into the grid through power electronic equipment and the influx of large amounts of DC power, the power grid is showing increasingly obvious power electronic characteristics. Its short-circuit current, affected by the control strategy, exhibits characteristics that are completely different from those of synchronous generators, such as limited amplitude, non-industrial frequency, and controlled phase angle. During faults, it has a discrete and nonlinear dynamic response process.
[0003] Among them, whether it is a DC feed-in system or a wind power new energy access system, the zero-sequence grid structure of the system is stable during the fault and is not affected by the DC system or the new energy system. Therefore, in the case of a grounding fault, the zero-sequence directional element can well determine the fault direction. In the case of an ungrounded fault, since there is no zero sequence, the positive-sequence fault component directional element must be used to determine the direction. Affected by the transient regulation of the DC and wind power systems, the positive and negative sequence system impedances and current amplitudes are both fluctuating, resulting in unreliable direction determination of the positive-sequence fault analysis element.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a method for determining the direction of power grid short-circuit fault based on current change characteristics. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a method for determining the direction of a short-circuit fault in a power grid based on current change characteristics. For the type of phase-to-phase ungrounded fault, the fault direction is determined by a new directional element judgment criterion, thereby improving the reliability of the directional element action and the line protection in the power grid.
[0006] The object of the present invention is achieved as follows: a method for determining the direction of a power grid short-circuit fault based on current variation characteristics, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1. Adaptively analyze the impact of the doubly-fed wind turbine / DC feed-in connection on the positive sequence component directional element to obtain the fault characteristics when a fault occurs in the wind farm transmission line or the DC feed-in grid line;
[0008] S2. Establish a new fault criterion that uses the fluctuation amplitude of the calculated results of the memory voltage and the fault current phase angle difference Δθ within a certain period of time after the fault as the main criterion, and the amplitude change rate d of the short-circuit current as the supplementary criterion;
[0009] S3, access the voltage and current sampling data of the protected equipment collected in real time by the protection device;
[0010] S4. Determine whether a fault has occurred based on the sampled data, and if a fault has occurred, further determine the fault type;
[0011] S41: If it is a ground fault, the fault direction is determined by the zero-sequence directional element and then the process ends;
[0012] S42. If it is a phase-to-phase ungrounded fault, the new criterion is used for determination;
[0013] S5. Determine the direction of the positive sequence component when a phase-to-phase short circuit occurs based on the new criterion; specifically,
[0014] S51, threshold setting; setting the threshold Δθ of the phase angle difference Δθ set , set the short-circuit current amplitude change rate d threshold d set ;
[0015] S52, when Δθ>Δθ set When the current at the protection installation is provided by the fan / DC side, the fan / DC side is a forward fault and the system side is a reverse fault;
[0016] S53, when Δθ<Δθ set When Δθ<Δθ, the supplementary criterion of current amplitude change rate and short-circuit current amplitude change rate d is introduced for further judgment. set and d>d set When the protection installation current is provided by the fan / DC side, the fan / DC side is a forward fault and the system side is a reverse fault, when Δθ<Δθ set and d <d set When the current at the protection installation is provided by the system side, the fan / DC side is a reverse fault and the system side is a forward fault.
[0017] Furthermore, the adaptive analysis of the impact of the connection of the doubly fed wind turbine / DC feed-in on the positive sequence component directional element in step S1 specifically includes: setting AG, BC, BCG and ABCG faults at the midpoint of the doubly fed wind power transmission line / the midpoint of the AC / DC hybrid system line, and simulating and verifying the performance of the positive sequence directional element in the doubly fed wind turbine wind power grid-connected system / DC feed-in system.
[0018] Furthermore, the fault characteristics include the characteristics of the positive-sequence impedance phase angle changing with time. For the AC system transmission line with doubly fed wind turbines / DC feed, the positive-sequence impedance phase angle on the system side is stable or fluctuates with time, and the positive-sequence impedance phase angle on the wind turbine side / DC side decreases with time.
[0019] Furthermore, the calculation process of the phase angle difference Δθ between the memory voltage and the fault current in step S2 is as follows: the phase angle difference θ between the memory voltage and the fault current is defined as follows:
[0020]
[0021] , where is the BC phase voltage phasor, is the BC phase current phasor; then the phase angle difference Δθ between the memory voltage and the fault current is:
[0022] Δθ=max(θ)-min(θ)
[0023] , where max(θ) and min(θ) are the minimum and maximum memory voltage and fault current phase angle difference calculated within the time period of 20ms to 30ms after the forward fault of the fan / DC side protection.
[0024] Furthermore, the amplitude change rate d of the short-circuit current in step S2 is represented by a current attenuation rate.
[0025] Furthermore, the amplitude change rate d, i.e., the current attenuation rate, is expressed as follows:
[0026]
[0027] , where I k (t0) is the initial current amplitude calculated using the full-cycle Fourier algorithm, I k (t T / 2 ) is the current amplitude calculated after half a sampling period.
[0028] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: adaptive analysis is performed on the influence of the access of the doubly-fed wind turbine / DC feed-in on the positive-sequence component directional element, and fault characteristics are obtained when a fault occurs in the wind farm transmission line or the DC feed-in grid line. Based on the fault characteristics, a new fault judgment criterion is adopted, which uses the fluctuation amplitude of the calculation result of the difference Δθ between the memory voltage and the fault current phase angle difference within a certain period of time after the fault as the main judgment criterion, and uses the amplitude change rate d of the short-circuit current as the supplementary judgment criterion, to judge the direction of the positive-sequence component directional element when a phase-to-phase short circuit occurs, thereby improving the reliability of the directional action of the positive-sequence component directional element and the line protection in the power grid.

[0045] , where max(θ) and min(θ) are the minimum and maximum memory voltage and fault current phase angle difference calculated within the time period of 20ms to 30ms after the forward fault of the fan / DC side protection.
[0046] Specifically, the amplitude change rate d of the short-circuit current in step S2 is represented by the current attenuation rate; the amplitude change rate d, i.e., the current attenuation rate, is expressed as follows:
[0047]
