However, the integration of large-scale PV power plants into the distribution network can have certain impacts on the operation of the traditional power grid, especially under low-load or half-load conditions, potentially triggering a series of technical problems. During the grid connection process of PV power generation, due to the intermittent and fluctuating nature of PV power generation, its output power is significantly affected by weather changes. This fluctuation leads to significant changes in the grid current level, especially under low-load conditions, where the current level may drop significantly, making it impossible for relay protection devices to accurately detect fault currents, thereby affecting the safe operation of the power grid.
[0003] However, under low load or abnormal current fluctuation conditions, existing fault current compensation models struggle to respond in real time to photovoltaic power generation fluctuations and current level changes, failing to effectively compensate for errors occurring during fault current detection.

The specific process is as follows: the load deviation is calculated by comparing the current power grid load demand with the historical load average; the first derivative of the load change trend is performed to obtain the load change rate; and a load status threshold is set based on the load deviation and the load change rate to determine the load status.
[0078] In this embodiment, by combining load deviation with load change rate, the power grid load status can be accurately determined, avoiding misjudgments caused by a single real-time load value, while adapting to load characteristics under different operating scenarios. By setting a load status threshold, normal fluctuations and abnormal fluctuations can be effectively distinguished, providing a reliable basis for subsequent current fluctuation analysis and fault detection.
[0079] Preferably, if the load state is a low load and / or half load state, and the predicted photovoltaic power output is higher than the expected output power, the current fluctuation state is detected as an abnormal fluctuation state based on the current fluctuation trend; if the current fluctuation state is the abnormal fluctuation state, it is determined to be the fault current.
[0080] The specific process for detecting whether the current fluctuation is in an abnormal fluctuation state based on the current fluctuation trend is as follows: the average amplitude of the real-time current fluctuation is calculated from the real-time current in the real-time power generation data; the average amplitude of the historical current fluctuation is calculated from the historical current; by comparing the average amplitude of the real-time current fluctuation and the average amplitude of the historical current fluctuation, it is determined whether the current fluctuation exceeds the preset normal range; if the current fluctuation exceeds the preset normal range, it is determined to be an abnormal fluctuation state.

[0084] The fault current data input layer inputs the predicted photovoltaic power output, the current fluctuation trend, and the current deviation; wherein, the current deviation is obtained by calculating the difference between the real-time current and the predicted current;
[0085] The dynamic compensation layer calculates the fault current compensation amount based on the predicted photovoltaic power output, the current fluctuation trend, and the current deviation.
[0086] The relay protection strategy adjustment layer adjusts the sensitivity of the relay protection device and the fault current detection threshold according to the fault current compensation amount.

This dynamic compensation mechanism can adjust the relay protection strategy in real time, avoiding malfunctions or missed detections in the relay protection system caused by current fluctuations, improving the stability and security of the power grid, ensuring the normal operation of photovoltaic power plants, and protecting the power system from faults.
[0091] Preferably, the formula for calculating the fault current compensation is:
[0092] △I=k1·f(P)+k2·△I volatility +k3·△I offset ;
[0093]
[0094] Where △I is the fault current compensation amount; k1 is the equivalent current compensation coefficient for the output power difference; f(P) is the function that transforms the output power difference into an equivalent circuit; P is the output power difference; k2 is the current fluctuation amplitude compensation coefficient; △I volatility k3 is the current fluctuation amplitude; k3 is the current deviation compensation coefficient; ΔI offset For current deviation; P forecastTo predict the output power of photovoltaic power generation; P actual V represents the real-time output power of photovoltaic power generation. actual α is the real-time voltage; I is the real-time voltage adjustment coefficient; actual This represents the real-time current.

Combined with grid load demand, it comprehensively analyzes current fluctuation trends and load change trends, achieving accurate detection of abnormal currents under low-load or half-load conditions. Furthermore, by constructing a fault current compensation model, it dynamically compensates for current level changes caused by photovoltaic power generation fluctuations, adjusting the fault current detection strategy of the relay protection device, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and sensitivity of fault detection. This method can adapt to complex and changing operating environments, especially under low-load or half-load operating conditions, effectively avoiding missed or false detections of fault currents by the relay protection system due to current level fluctuations, thus improving the safety and stability of photovoltaic power station grid-connected operation. In addition, the method of this invention relies on intelligent data-driven analysis, reducing human intervention, optimizing system automation performance, and demonstrating highly intelligent grid-connected control capabilities. This ensures that the impact of photovoltaic power stations on grid operation is minimized when connected to the grid, achieving accurate and efficient detection of fault currents under low-load or abnormal current fluctuation conditions.
