Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of relay protection for power systems, and in particular to a method for configuring zero-sequence voltage protection on the low-voltage side of a photovoltaic project transformer. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid growth of installed capacity of photovoltaic power stations, the single-unit capacity of inverters has been increased to more than 300kW, and the rated voltage has reached 800V. However, limited by the current level of thyristor technology, the inverter has put forward higher requirements on the system, especially on the low-voltage side of the box-type transformer, which usually needs to operate in an ungrounded state. At the same time, in order to reduce costs, box-type transformer suppliers generally do not configure voltage transformers on the low-voltage side, and the relay protection function is limited to zero-sequence current protection.

[0003] However, since the low-voltage side of the box-type transformer is actually an ungrounded system, the zero-sequence current protection cannot effectively detect single-phase grounding faults, resulting in the low-voltage side of the box-type transformer being in a state without zero-sequence protection during operation. This defect has caused many equipment damage accidents in actual operation, posing a serious threat to the safety and stability of photovoltaic power stations. Therefore, a protection configuration scheme that can make up for this deficiency is urgently needed to improve the operational reliability of the system. Summary of the invention

[0012] The zero-sequence voltage is connected to a microcomputer relay protection device, and segmented protection of the zero-sequence voltage on the low-voltage side is achieved according to the zero-sequence voltage value.

[0013] Optionally, the step of implementing segmented protection of the zero-sequence voltage on the low-voltage side according to the zero-sequence voltage value includes:

[0014] When the zero-sequence voltage value exceeds the first stage trip setting value and the delay is greater than 5 seconds, the low-voltage side bus main circuit breaker of the photovoltaic project box transformer is triggered to trip;

[0015] When the zero-sequence voltage value exceeds the second-stage alarm setting value and the delay is greater than 7 seconds, an alarm signal is issued.

[0016] Optionally, the first stage tripping setting value of the tripping protection and the second stage alarm setting value of the alarm protection are both determined in combination with the measured zero-sequence voltage value.

[0017] Optionally, after the low-voltage side bus main circuit breaker of the photovoltaic project box transformer trips, the single-phase grounding fault branch is located by reclosing the low-voltage side molded case circuit breakers one by one, and the fault duration is limited to no more than 3 seconds.

[0025] Additional aspects and advantages of the present application will be given in part in the description below, and in part will become apparent from the description below, or will be learned through the practice of the present application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present application will become apparent and easily understood from the following description of the embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0027] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for configuring zero-sequence voltage protection on the low-voltage side of a photovoltaic project box transformer provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0029] In view of the technical problem that the low-voltage side of the box-type transformer is actually an ungrounded system, the zero-sequence current protection cannot effectively detect the single-phase grounding fault, resulting in the low-voltage side of the box-type transformer being in a state without zero-sequence protection during operation, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for configuring the zero-sequence voltage protection on the low-voltage side of the box-type transformer of a photovoltaic project. Figure 1 The present invention provides a flowchart of a method for configuring a low-voltage side zero-sequence voltage protection for a photovoltaic project transformer box. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step 101, add an 800V voltage transformer on the low-voltage side busbar of the photovoltaic project box transformer to detect the zero-sequence voltage on the low-voltage side.

[0031] First, an 800V voltage transformer is added to the low-voltage side bus of the photovoltaic project box transformer to detect the zero-sequence voltage on the low-voltage side.

[0032] It should be noted that the voltage transformer can sense the zero-sequence voltage changes of the low-voltage side bus in real time, providing the necessary electrical parameter input for the subsequent protection logic. The zero-sequence voltage is an important parameter for identifying single-phase grounding faults. The addition of voltage transformers makes up for the defect that the ungrounded system cannot monitor the zero-sequence voltage.

[0033] Through this step, the problem of lack of zero-sequence voltage monitoring means on the low-voltage side of the traditional box-type transformer is solved, laying the foundation for the realization of subsequent protection functions.

[0034] Step 102, configuring a detuning device with an impedance greater than 100 megohms at the neutral point of the 800V voltage transformer to achieve high-resistance grounding and limit the single-phase grounding fault current.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, a detuning device with an impedance greater than 100 megohms is configured at the neutral point of the 800V voltage transformer to achieve high-resistance grounding and limit the single-phase grounding fault current.

[0036] It should be noted that configuring a harmonic elimination device with an impedance greater than 100 megohms can effectively limit the single-phase grounding fault current through high-resistance grounding, avoiding equipment damage caused by the flow of large current. In addition, the high-resistance grounding method reduces the shunt effect of the grounding fault current, making the zero-sequence voltage signal more obvious, and enhancing the relay protection device's detection capability for single-phase grounding faults.

[0037] It can be understood that limiting the single-phase grounding fault current not only prevents the equipment from being damaged due to overcurrent, but also reduces the impact of the fault on other equipment in the system and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0038] Through this step, a stable high-resistance grounding system is established, which provides a good basic guarantee for the accurate acquisition of zero-sequence voltage signals and the implementation of subsequent protection logic.

[0039] Step 103, connecting the zero-sequence voltage to the microcomputer relay protection device, and implementing segmented protection of the zero-sequence voltage on the low-voltage side according to the zero-sequence voltage value.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, after completing the low-voltage side zero-sequence voltage protection configuration of the photovoltaic project box transformer according to the steps shown in step 101 and step 102, the zero-sequence voltage signal detected by the 800V voltage transformer is transmitted to the microcomputer relay protection device, and is set in combination with the measured zero-sequence voltage value. This can ensure that the action values ​​of the tripping protection and the alarm protection meet the on-site operating conditions, thereby avoiding false operation or refusal of protection due to setting value deviation.

[0041] Specifically, the zero-sequence voltage protection action on the low-voltage side is set in two stages, including:

[0042] (1) First stage tripping protection: When the zero-sequence voltage value exceeds the first stage tripping setting value and the delay of the microcomputer relay protection device is greater than 5 seconds, the main circuit breaker on the low-voltage side of the box-type transformer will be triggered to trip, quickly isolate the fault and protect the safety of the equipment.

[0043] (2) Second stage alarm function: When the zero-sequence voltage exceeds the second stage alarm setting value, the microcomputer relay protection device delays for more than 7 seconds and sends an alarm signal to the operation monitoring system. At the same time, the fault information is displayed locally on the protection device to remind the operating personnel to promptly check the fault.

[0044] It is understandable that the segmented protection design ensures the safety of the equipment while minimizing the impact on the system. For example, the alarm function can alert the operation and maintenance personnel at the early stage of the fault, while the tripping function can quickly isolate the fault branch when necessary to ensure system stability.

[0045] In addition, the first stage trip setting value of the trip protection and the second stage alarm setting value of the alarm protection are determined in combination with the measured zero-sequence voltage value. Since the zero-sequence voltage characteristics of each photovoltaic power station may vary due to different equipment and system configurations, by adjusting the setting value based on the measured data in this application, it can adapt to a variety of application scenarios and enhance the versatility of the protection scheme.

[0046] In addition, the low-voltage side zero-sequence voltage protection configuration method of the photovoltaic project box transformer proposed in the embodiment of the present application is applicable to the ungrounded or high-resistance grounded system on the low-voltage side of the box transformer, and can continue to operate for no more than 2 hours after a single-phase grounding fault occurs, meeting the requirements of industry operating regulations.

[0047] In addition, in order to handle faults accurately and quickly, after the busbar main circuit breaker on the low-voltage side of the photovoltaic project box transformer trips, the embodiment of the present application manually disconnects all branch circuit breakers on the low-voltage side of the box transformer to ensure that all branch circuit breakers are in the open state, and then manually recloses the low-voltage side branch circuit breakers one by one, and checks the faulty branch through the "fault reappearance" method. Once the faulty branch is found, the branch circuit breaker is immediately disconnected to ensure that the fault reappearance time does not exceed 3 seconds. Finally, after the investigation is completed, the normal operation of the non-faulty branch is restored. Through this method, the branch that tripped by mistake is prevented from being in a state of suspension for a long time, reducing the loss of power outage.

[0048] In order to implement the above embodiments, the present application also proposes an electronic device, comprising: a processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the processor; the memory stores computer-executable instructions; the processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory to implement the method provided by the above embodiments.
