Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of relay protection for electric power systems, and in particular to a virtual voltage differential protection method for a new energy power grid transmission line. Background Art

[0002] With the growth of energy demand and the emphasis on environmental protection, the proportion of renewable energy in the power grid continues to rise. Compared with traditional power grids, renewable energy power grids have many unique properties. Renewable energy power generation comes from a variety of sources, including solar energy, wind energy, hydropower (small hydropower, etc. belong to the category of renewable energy), bioenergy, etc., and the power generation characteristics of these energy sources are different. For example, solar photovoltaic power generation is greatly affected by light intensity and temperature, while wind power generation depends on the randomness of wind speed and wind direction. This makes the output power of the renewable energy power grid highly intermittent and volatile.

[0003] In terms of new energy grid transmission lines, this volatility brings many challenges to the stable operation of transmission lines. Most of the transmission line protection methods of traditional power grids are designed based on stable power supply and relatively regular load conditions. However, in new energy grids, due to the access of a large number of distributed power sources, the power flow distribution of transmission lines has become complex and difficult to predict. The traditional protection method based on power frequency electrical quantities may no longer be applicable.

[0004] From the perspective of power system stability, the uncertainty of renewable energy generation may lead to an increase in the voltage fluctuation range of transmission lines. When the voltage fluctuation exceeds a certain range, it may affect the normal operation of power equipment and even cause chain failures. For example, low voltage may cause some voltage-sensitive equipment to stop working, while high voltage may damage the insulation of equipment.

[0005] In addition, new energy power generation equipment usually needs to be connected to the power grid through power electronic converters, and these power electronic devices will generate a large amount of harmonics. Harmonics will interfere with the voltage and current signals on the transmission line, making it easy for protection devices based on traditional signal analysis to misjudge. Moreover, as the scale of new energy power grids expands, the types of faults in transmission lines are more complex, including intermittent faults, high-resistance faults, etc. Traditional protection methods have limitations in detecting and distinguishing these types of faults.

[0006] Furthermore, the topology of new energy grids is becoming increasingly complex, with a large number of distributed power sources and microgrids connected. This makes the magnitude and direction of fault current no longer follow the rules of traditional grids, and traditional protection methods based on the current differential principle may fail because they cannot accurately determine the direction and magnitude of fault current.

[0007] To sum up, in order to ensure the safe, stable and efficient operation of the new energy power grid transmission lines, there is an urgent need for a transmission line protection method specifically tailored to the characteristics of the new energy power grid. The new energy power grid transmission line virtual voltage differential protection method of the present invention is proposed based on this demand. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a virtual voltage differential protection method for a new energy power grid transmission line, so as to solve the problems in the prior art that the traditional protection method has low accuracy in fault detection and effective signals are difficult to accurately extract.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a virtual voltage differential protection method for a new energy power grid transmission line, comprising the following steps:

[0011] Step 2: Use high-precision voltage sensors and current sensors to collect the three-phase voltage and current at the left and right ends of the new energy power grid transmission line, and calculate the positive sequence voltage and positive sequence current at the left and right ends of the transmission line through Clarke transformation;

[0012] Step 3: Calculate the voltage at the concentrated parameter points on the left and right ends according to Kirchhoff's voltage law;

[0013] Step 4: Use the weighted average method to calculate the virtual voltage at the midpoint of the transmission line; this method can comprehensively consider the voltage conditions at both ends and more reasonably reflect the voltage state at the midpoint.

[0014] Step 5: Difference the two calculated virtual voltages to determine whether a transmission line fault occurs. This fault determination method is based on the accurate calculation of the virtual voltage of the transmission line. By comparing the difference between the two virtual voltages and the set threshold value, it can quickly and accurately detect whether a transmission line fault occurs.

[0015] Preferably, the two-end concentrated inductor-capacitor-resistor hybrid segmented lossless line parameter model established in step 1 is specifically as follows:

[0016] For the lumped parameter on the left, the calculation expression is as follows:

[0023] S22. Based on the vector synthesis relationship of the three-phase system in the plane rectangular coordinate system, the Clarke transformation matrix T is constructed. Clark , specifically:

[0024]

[0025] S23. According to the Clarke transformation formula, the positive sequence voltage U″ at the left end is obtained. 11 and positive sequence current I″ 11 , the calculation expression is as follows:

[0027] S24. According to the Clarke transformation formula, the positive sequence voltage U″ at the right end is obtained. 21 and positive sequence current I″ 21 , the calculation expression is as follows:

[0028]

[0029] Preferably, in step 3, according to Kirchhoff's voltage law, the calculation expression for calculating the voltage at the concentrated parameter points at the left and right ends is as follows:

[0030] Voltage U″ at the left concentrated parameter point L The calculation expression is as follows:

[0031]

[0032] Voltage U″ at the right concentrated parameter point R The calculation expression is as follows:

[0033]

[0034] Preferably, the expression for calculating the virtual voltage at the midpoint of the transmission line using the weighted average method in step 4 is as follows:

[0035] The relationship between the midpoint virtual voltage and the left end is:

[0036]

[0037] The relationship between the midpoint virtual voltage and the right end is:

[0038]

[0039] In the formula, U″ mid1 Indicates the relationship between the midpoint virtual voltage and the left end, U″ mid2 Represents the relationship between the midpoint virtual voltage and the right end.

[0040] Preferably, the specific content of step 5 is as follows:

[0041] S51, taking the difference of the two calculated virtual voltages, the calculation expression is as follows:

[0042] ΔU″=U″ mid1 -U″ mid2 ;

[0043] S52: Determine whether the difference ΔU″ is greater than a preset differential voltage threshold value U″ set , if ΔU″>U″ set , it is determined that the transmission line is faulty, otherwise it is determined that the transmission line is in normal working condition.

[0044] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned virtual voltage differential protection method for a new energy power grid transmission line, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0045] (1) Improved model accuracy: The hybrid segmented lossless line parameter model with two-terminal concentrated inductance-capacitance-resistance (LCR) is adopted. Compared with the single resistance model, it more comprehensively considers the actual characteristics of the transmission line, including the combined effects of inductance, capacitance and resistance, and improves the modeling accuracy of the new energy power grid transmission line;

[0046] (2) Enhanced anti-interference capability: Clarke transform is used to calculate positive sequence voltage and current. Compared with the positive and negative zero sequence transformation matrix, it can better extract effective signals and reduce the interference of harmonics on protection judgment in the presence of a large amount of harmonic interference (generated by power electronic equipment in new energy grids);

[0047] (3) Improved fault detection accuracy: When calculating the voltage at the concentrated parameter points on the left and right ends, the effects of resistance, inductance and capacitance are comprehensively considered, making the voltage calculation more in line with the actual situation. The weighted average method is used to calculate the virtual voltage, which can more reasonably reflect the voltage state at the midpoint of the transmission line, thereby improving the accuracy of fault detection and reducing misjudgment.
