Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of low-current grounding fault location technology, and particularly relates to a distributed grounding fault location method and system based on phase current mutation. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial link in power supply, the stable operation of the distribution network plays a key role in ensuring power quality and improving power supply reliability for users. With the continuous advancement of power grid technology, the need for rapid identification and isolation of faulty sections in the distribution network is becoming increasingly urgent. In my country, the neutral point of the distribution network is generally grounded via an arc suppression coil or ungrounded. When a single-phase ground fault occurs, the current flowing through the fault point is very small, hence it is also called a low-current grounding network. In distribution networks where the neutral point is not directly grounded, although short-term operation with the fault is permissible after a single-phase ground fault, the fault location must be determined as quickly as possible to prevent the fault area from expanding further. However, traditional methods of manually searching for faults using guy wires are insufficient to meet the time requirements. For systems where the neutral point is not directly grounded, the fault current is relatively small, posing a significant challenge to the rapid location of the fault section.

[0003] Besides the pull-wire method, current fault location methods include injecting external signals and selecting faults based on the electrical steady-state and transient characteristics generated during a single-phase ground fault. The external signal injection method is limited by the capacity of the voltage transformer, making it unsuitable for scenarios with a large number of power electronic devices. The accuracy of fault location methods based on steady-state characteristics is affected by the compensation effect of the arc suppression coil. Among fault location methods based on transient characteristics, the transient signal components of methods such as the first half-wave method and the zero-sequence energy method are very small, making them susceptible to interference and limiting their effectiveness.

[0004] With the maturation of the low-current grounding line selection principle and the improvement of the device's data processing capabilities, the current grounding line selection device is mainly a centralized grounding line selection device based on the transient quantity line selection principle. However, this type of device has shortcomings such as long secondary cables, complex circuits and maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0009] If the preset phase current surge triggering condition is met, then determine whether the phase current surge line selection action meets the preset phase current surge line selection action condition within the second consecutive time period.

[0010] If the preset phase current change amount line selection action condition is met, it is determined that there is a single-phase ground fault in the line, and the faulty phase in the line is the phase with the largest current change amount among the three phases.

[0018] This application presents a distributed grounding fault location method and system based on phase current mutation.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of a distributed grounding line selection method based on phase current mutation.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the distributed grounding line selection method based on phase current abrupt changes specifically includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S101: Obtain the three-phase current of the line, and calculate the real-time value of the phase current mutation, the derivative of the phase current mutation, and the effective value of the phase current mutation in the three-phase current respectively.

[0027] In this step, the expression for calculating the real-time value of the phase current abrupt change is:

[0028]

[0029] In the formula, At time t Real-time value of phase current sudden change. for Real-time value of phase current For time tT Real-time value of phase current sudden change, where T is the power frequency period;

[0030] The expression for calculating the derivative of the phase current abrupt change is:

[0031]

[0032] In the formula, At time t Derivative of phase current mutation For time tT Real-time value of phase current sudden change;

[0033] The expression for calculating the effective value of the phase current mutation is:

[0034]

[0035] In the formula, for The effective value of the phase current surge, where N is the number of sampling points within the power frequency cycle. The nth sampling point within the power frequency cycle Instantaneous value of phase current change.

[0036] Step S102: Determine whether the derivative of the phase current mutation and the effective value of the phase current mutation meet the preset phase current mutation start-up conditions within the continuous first time period.

[0037] In this step, the expression for the initiation condition of the phase current mutation is:

[0038]

[0039] In the formula, This is the maximum value among the three-phase current abrupt changes. I is the maximum value among the derivatives of the three-phase current surges. QSET The setpoint for the start-up current of the sudden change, I DSET The derivative of the mutation is used to set the starting current.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, after determining whether the derivative of the phase current mutation and the effective value of the phase current mutation meet the preset phase current mutation start-up condition within a continuous first time period, if the preset phase current mutation start-up condition is not met, the three-phase current of other lines is then acquired.

[0041] Step S103: If the preset phase current mutation start condition is met, then determine whether the phase current mutation line selection action meets the preset phase current mutation line selection action condition during the second consecutive time period.

[0042] In this step, the expression for the line selection condition based on the phase current surge is:

[0043]

[0044] In the formula, ΔI max ΔI med ΔI min These represent the maximum, median, and minimum values ​​of the effective values ​​of the three-phase current surges, respectively. DSET The derivative of the sudden change is the starting current setpoint, Δi max , Δi min K1, K2, and K3 are the maximum and minimum values ​​of the derivatives of the three-phase current mutation, respectively, and are all asymmetry coefficients.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, after determining whether the phase current change amount line selection action meets the preset phase current change amount line selection action condition within a continuous second time period, if the preset phase current change amount line selection action condition is not met, the line is determined to be a normal line.

[0046] Step S104: If the preset phase current change amount line selection action condition is met, it is determined that there is a single-phase ground fault in the line, and the faulty phase in the line is the phase with the largest current change amount among the three phases.

[0047] In summary, the method of this application adaptively filters the collected current to obtain a current of a suitable frequency, thereby increasing the detection capability of high-resistance grounding faults. It uses the phase current mutation and its derivative to determine the fault start-up, allowing the protection device to start quickly during a fault. To prevent the protection device from malfunctioning, a start-up judgment and return logic is set up, and the action judgment is only activated within the time window after the start-up. Based on the asymmetry of the three-phase current mutation during a single-phase grounding fault, the faulty line and the faulty phase are determined.
