Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of distribution network fault protection, and in particular to a multi-point fault detection method and protection system for regional protection of a distribution network. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion of distribution network coverage, the high penetration of new energy sources, and the large-scale integration of nonlinear loads, system power flows are exhibiting dynamic fluctuations, and fault characteristics have fundamentally changed compared to traditional power grids. As a result, the three-stage current protection mechanism based on fixed thresholds may not be able to adapt to new operational requirements, posing a potential risk to the stable operation and quality of the power supply system. Against this backdrop, regional protection technology has gradually matured. Leveraging modern communication architectures, this technology integrates data such as switchgear status and protection device responses to construct a global fault identification and isolation decision-making system. It is worth noting that sections of long-serving three-core armored cables may experience degradation of their main insulation, a potential that is often difficult to detect under normal operating conditions. When a single-phase ground fault occurs in the system, the potential of the non-fault phase rises sharply to the line voltage level. This sudden voltage surge can trigger a potential insulation breakdown at a potential weak point, leading to a unique situation where multiple cable sections fail in succession. Existing regional protection systems, due to the inherent limitations of their protection criteria, are prone to disrupting the protection logic when responding to such concurrent multi-point faults, causing regional protection devices to fail or malfunction. At the same time, this technology is highly dependent on the information collection system. In actual operation, channel interference and data collection equipment failures often lead to information transmission loss or signal distortion. These abnormal data can mislead the protection decision-making module and significantly reduce the reliability of the protection system's action. Therefore, how to reliably handle multiple simultaneous faults and effectively improve the fault tolerance of regional protection are difficult problems that need to be solved in distribution network relay protection.

[0093] Specifically, in this embodiment, if the fault characteristic parameter satisfies the zero-sequence current starting criterion or the phase current starting criterion, the regional protection process is started.

[0094] Among them, the zero-sequence current starting criterion is:

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] Where, is the zero-sequence current in the fault area, is the zero-sequence starting current, is the current of the first-end capacitor in the fault area, Real-time output of renewable energy when it fails, is the line load of the renewable energy access line, is the coefficient parameter;

[0101] Where, is the phase current of any line in the fault area, is the phase starting current, is the maximum load current corresponding to the phase current, is the coefficient parameter, is the output inflection point value of renewable energy, is the slope factor.

[0102] Step S3: If the regional protection process is started, the direction values of the neutral point zero-sequence current and the zero-sequence current at the head end of each line in the fault area are calculated.

[0103] First All lines in the fault area are taken as elements to construct a line set , with the first In the fault area The line and all the lines downstream of it are composed of the elements A line and its downstream line collection .

[0104] Specifically in this embodiment, calculating the direction values of the neutral point zero-sequence current and the zero-sequence current at the head end of each line in the fault area includes:

[0105] Determine the time between the onset of the fault and the first zero crossing of the zero-sequence current , calculate the direction value of the neutral point zero-sequence current and the zero-sequence current at the head end of each line in the fault area at each moment:

[0110] Step S4: construct observation values of the current value and the current direction according to the current threshold and the direction value.

[0119] Step S5: Based on mixed integer linear programming, a fault detection model is established with the minimum error between the observed value and its predicted value as the objective function and the zero-sequence current and three-phase current regional protection logic as the constraint conditions.

[0120] Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) refers to mathematical programming problems in which both the objective function and constraints are linear, and some decision variables are restricted to integers. Specifically, the constraints support equality and inequality constraints, and the variables can be 0-1, integer, or real. MILP is used to find the optimal solution and value of a linear objective function within a given feasible region under linear constraints.

[0121] The objective function is to minimize the error between the observed value and its predicted value:

[0126] The zero-sequence current and three-phase current zone protection logic are constrained:

[0133]

[0134] Where, is the logical OR.

[0135] Step S6: Solve the fault detection model and obtain the fault line in the fault area from the optimal solution.

[0136] In the objective function and As the intermediate variable, the fault detection model is solved based on the optimization solver to obtain:

[0137]

[0138]

[0139]

[0140]

[0141]

[0142] From The running status array corresponding to the lines in the fault area In this paper, the number and location of faulty lines can be obtained, thereby realizing regional protection.

[0143] In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed regional fault detection scheme, the following Figure 2 The low-resistance grounded distribution network with IIDGs is shown in the figure. The neutral point low-resistance of the distribution network is 10Ω. The ratios and capacities of the main transformer and IIDG grid-connected transformer are shown in the figure. All lines are equipped with distribution automation terminals. The lines are all YJV22-6 / 10kV-3*70mm2, with a unit zero-sequence ground capacitance parameter of C0 = 124.28×10-9F / km. The PQ-controlled photovoltaic model is packaged as an IIDG module T-connected to the line, and each outgoing line is connected to a constant impedance load model of 1MW+0.1MVar per phase. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, two single-phase ground faults were set in the simulation system as shown in the figure. It was assumed that the three-phase current data of FI21 uploaded to the regional decision center was excessive due to equipment failure, FI13 was lost due to equipment failure, and the zero-sequence current of FI11 was lost due to communication problems. The proposed regional protection method was used to calculate the regional protection for the above fault scenario, and the results are as follows:

[0144] The observed values are as follows:

[0145]

[0146] The results of model solution are as follows:

[0147]

[0148]

[0149]

[0150]

[0151]

[0152] According to the running status array Given the value of , the method successfully identifies the faulty sections L25 and L28. In addition, the method also detects the wrong three-phase current and the missing zero-sequence current at this time. , The assumed true state of the above abnormal data is given.

[0153] It can be seen that the proposed method can effectively solve the logical dilemma of traditional regional protection methods when facing multiple faults, and can reliably perform regional protection in the presence of data anomalies, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed protection scheme. In summary, the multi-point fault detection method for distribution network regional protection with high fault tolerance proposed in this invention solves the protection logic confusion problem that may be caused by traditional regional protection when facing multiple simultaneous faults, as well as the protection refusal and malfunction problem caused by erroneous data, and meets the requirements for the sensitivity and reliability of distribution network relay protection.
