TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of electric power systems, and relates to the technical field of relay protection of offshore wind power DC collection lines, in particular to an offshore wind power DC collection line fault positioning method based on traveling wave multi-scale gradient analysis. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the face of increasingly severe energy crisis and climate change, all countries in the world have proposed development plans to change from fossil energy to renewable energy, and have clearly stated that renewable energy generation is the future development direction. Wind energy, as one of the most mature and widely used renewable energies, is expected to become a pillar energy industry in China. Offshore wind power has the advantages of high wind energy quality, large single machine capacity, and no occupation of land resources, and can be consumed nearby, so it has broad development prospects. Nowadays, due to the increasing tension of offshore wind farm sites, in order to adapt to the trend of deep-sea development, the full DC transmission system of offshore wind power based on DC collection and DC transmission technology has emerged as the times require, which reduces the number of system commutations and effectively reduces the system energy consumption, and is of great research significance.
[0003] The line fault of the full DC transmission system of offshore wind power is mostly permanent fault, and the fault needs to be promptly investigated and cleared to restore the normal operation and power transmission of the system. According to the fault positioning principle, the existing DC grid fault positioning methods can be divided into three categories: 1) transient characteristic method: the mathematical relationship between the fault location and the fault characteristics after the fault occurs is obtained by modeling the fault line, and the fault positioning is realized. Among them, the single-ended method has the advantages of good economy and fast distance measurement speed, but it is difficult to eliminate the influence of transition resistance on the fault distance measurement result; the double-ended method has the advantages of reliable principle and high distance measurement accuracy, but it is restricted by communication conditions and cost; 2) active injection method: an additional circuit or a power electronic converter is used to inject a detection signal into the fault circuit, and the fault distance is measured according to the characteristics of the collected signal. This method requires additional signal injection equipment, which increases the construction cost of the DC distribution network; 3) traveling wave method: when a fault occurs in the DC line, a fault traveling wave will be generated at the fault point and propagate to both sides of the line, and the fault location is realized by extracting the amplitude, polarity and frequency of the transient traveling wave. However, for short lines, the difference in wave head arrival time is small, making it more difficult to identify the wave head, and putting forward very high requirements for the wave head identification algorithm. In summary, the sending end of the full DC system of offshore wind power is a multi-terminal parallel network with distributed converters in series, the equivalent capacitance of the converter is in series with the line impedance, forming a complex and non-uniform line topology, which makes it difficult to locate the fault of the collection line. The existing positioning methods have poor adaptability, and it is urgent to propose a high-precision collection line fault positioning method to determine the specific fault location of the collection line, speed up fault clearance, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the offshore wind power system.
