Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of relay protection of power systems, and in particular to a direct-drive wind farm differential protection identification method based on harmonic trend difference comparison. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of new energy, wind farms are welcoming opportunities for rapid development. By converting wind energy into electrical energy, wind farms can not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but also effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The step-up transformer raises the output voltage of the doubly-fed wind farm and then centrally integrates it into the high-voltage AC power grid. Therefore, in order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the direct-drive wind farm, the step-up transformer needs to quickly and reliably cut off the fault when a fault occurs. At present, longitudinal current differential protection is the main protection method for step-up transformers in direct-drive wind farms. In theory, current differential protection can provide absolute selectivity when a fault occurs inside the step-up transformer, ensuring rapid and reliable operation; in the event of an external fault, it can maintain the reliability of non-action. However, when a direct-drive wind farm is connected to an AC grid-connected system, a low-resistance fault may occur inside the step-up transformer. At this time, the short-circuit current amplitude provided by the direct-drive wind farm is limited and contains harmonic components, which will cause the transformer current transformer (TA) saturation discrimination element and the excitation inrush current discrimination element to malfunction and cause the transformer differential protection to be mistakenly locked, thereby causing the differential protection to have a delayed action, which is not conducive to the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0003] In view of this, a direct-drive wind farm differential protection identification method based on harmonic trend difference comparison is needed. Summary of the invention
