Description

[0002] With the advancement of economic globalization and the gradual maturation of offshore wind power technology, the mileage of submarine cable lines is increasing, and the operational performance of submarine cables is becoming a research hotspot. Long-distance terrestrial cables typically employ cross-interconnection to reduce the induced voltage and circulating current in the metallic sheath. However, submarine cables, limited by their laying environment, cannot utilize cross-interconnection or similar measures. When mechanical damage occurs to the submarine cable, it can lead to a failure in the cable grounding system. Because the metallic sheath is grounded at both ends, a significant circulating current will be generated within the sheath, resulting in a substantial decrease in its transmission capacity, which may, in severe cases, impact national economic production.

[0080] The fault-occurring phase can be any one of the three phases A, B, and C. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the fault-occurring phase is phase A during calculation. The steps of writing the voltage loop equation in complex matrix form on the power supply side and obtaining the recursive law of the k-th segment of the matrix on the power supply side are as follows:

[0081] First, the submarine cable is divided into left and right sides based on the fault point. The mesh on the left side of the fault point is analyzed, and the equation for the A-phase loop, based on Kirchhoff's theorem, is as follows:

[0082] ;

[0084] Among them, since there is a capacitor C between the three-phase conductors of ABC and the sheath and armor, and the armor and capacitor are short-circuited and grounded, the grounding electrode voltage of the k and k-1 segments to the left of the short circuit point can be obtained. and :

[0086] ;

[0087] in, , , They are respectively j Current in the loop segments k, k-1, and k+1; j'=CA, SA, AA, CB, SB, AB, CC, SC or AC;

[0088] In the power supply section k = n +1, then:

[0104] ;

[0105] in,H A matrix composed of faulty resistors. I 0 represents the fault current;

[0106] Secondly, based on the principle of two-sided elimination, the above equation is transformed to obtain the recursive relationship of the short-circuit current as follows:

[0121] Step S4: Based on Kirchhoff's current theorem, and using the fault point current equation as the boundary condition, solve the fault circulation current distribution on the left side of the sheath at the short-circuit point by simultaneously solving the expression in Step S3.

[0122] In this step, the process of solving the circulating current distribution of the fault in the sheath to the left of the short-circuit point is as follows:

[0123] Based on Kirchhoff's current law at the short-circuit point:

[0124] ;

[0125] The expression for calculating the fault circulating current I0 is as follows:

[0126] .

[0127] This allows for the calculation of the fault circulation current distribution in the sheath of the single-phase submarine cable grounding system to the left of the fault point.

[0128] Step S5: For the right side of the short circuit point n After performing the above analysis on the section of submarine cable (i.e., repeating the calculation process of steps S2-S4), the fault circulation current distribution of the sheath on the right side of the short-circuit point is obtained, thereby obtaining the fault circulation current distribution of the sheath of the faulty phase along the entire line; the aforementioned analysis of the fault circulation current distribution on the right side of the short-circuit point... n The above analysis of the submarine cable line refers to the analysis of the section to the right of the fault point. n The loop equations are written at the power supply side and short circuit point of the submarine cable line. Based on the double-sided elimination method, the analytical relationship expression between the main section of the submarine cable on the power supply side and the short circuit side and the fault circulating current is obtained. The current at the fault point is used as the boundary condition to obtain the fault circulating current distribution of the sheath on the right side of the short circuit point. Thus, the fault circulating current distribution of the sheath of the fault phase is obtained.

[0129] Appendix Figure 5 - Appendix Figure 6 The figure shows the distribution of fault circulation in the submarine cable sheath obtained using this invention. As can be seen from the figure, this invention can obtain the fault circulation distribution curve of the submarine cable sheath. Figure 5 It can be seen that when a fault occurs in the submarine cable, the circulating current in the metallic sheath first increases and then decreases, reaching its maximum at the fault point. The circulating current in the metallic sheath closer to the power source is greater than that on the other side. As the fault point moves further away, the circulating current shows a decreasing trend, and the amplitude of the circulating current in the metallic sheath gradually decreases as the fault point moves further away from the power source. Figure 6 The relative error between the present invention and the simulation data is denoted by [the following]. Figure 6It can be seen that the maximum fault circulation result of the metal sheath calculated by the present invention and the simulation software is in good agreement. When the fault point is set at 0km, the maximum relative error of the metal sheath circulation is less than 0.5%, which further verifies the accuracy and effectiveness of the method of the present invention.
