TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of power system fault detection, and particularly relates to a centralized photovoltaic sending-out line single-phase ground fault ranging method and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] New energy power generation, especially photovoltaic power generation, has been increasing in penetration rate in the power grid. In 2024, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation increased by 277.17 GW, an increase of about 28% year-on-year, and the cumulative installed capacity reached 886.66 GW. With the continuous progress of photovoltaic technology, the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells is continuously improved, and the production cost is continuously reduced, making photovoltaic power generation more competitive in the energy market.
[0003] However, unlike the traditional synchronous generator-dominated power system, new power systems use a large number of power electronic devices for grid connection, and their fault characteristics are affected by the vulnerability of fully controlled power electronic switches, showing nonlinearity and weak feed, which is significantly different from the fault characteristics of traditional systems.
[0004] Single-phase ground fault is a common fault type in new energy sending-out lines, with a high probability of occurrence. After the connection of new energy systems containing inverters and other power electronic devices, the short-circuit current of single-phase ground fault is often only one to two times the rated short-circuit current; at the same time, the connection of power electronic devices destroys the assumption of the same phase of the fault branch current and the current at the installation site of the distance measuring device based on the traditional power frequency quantity single-end distance measurement method, making it difficult for traditional fault location methods based on power frequency current to accurately determine the fault location.

[0032] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a centralized photovoltaic sending-out line single-phase ground fault distance measurement system, comprising:
[0033] The switching module switches from a normal control strategy to a low voltage ride through control strategy according to a starting criterion after the fault occurs; the additional signal injection control strategy is put into operation at the same time of switching the low voltage ride through control strategy, and the positive sequence double-frequency characteristic signal is injected into the sending-out line through the inverter additional control on the basis of the power frequency control component;

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0039] A centralized photovoltaic sending-out line single-phase grounding fault location method, which injects positive sequence double-frequency characteristic signals by using the active control ability of photovoltaic inverters and solves the problem of inaccurate traditional fault location through frequency domain modeling. Specifically, the method switches to a low voltage ride through control strategy after the fault occurs and injects positive sequence double-frequency characteristic signals, realizes fault phase selection through component phase difference, establishes a composite sequence network equivalent circuit, and finally constructs a nonlinear equation set by using the positive sequence double-frequency characteristic signals and solves the fault location. The advantages of the method are reflected in three aspects: first, the high controllability of photovoltaic inverters is fully utilized, and no additional signal generating device is needed to inject characteristic signals into the line, which not only reduces the hardware cost, but also avoids the dependence of traditional traveling wave method on high-precision synchronous clock; second, by constructing a composite sequence network, the influence of weakly fed characteristics of new energy sending-out line on power frequency fault location is avoided, and the traditional power frequency fault location depends on the fault current amplitude, while the output current of the new energy power electronic interface is limited, resulting in weak fault characteristics, the positive sequence double-frequency characteristic signals injected by the method enhance the recognizability of fault characteristics; finally, the real and imaginary parts of the frequency domain parameter equation form a redundant equation set, solving the nonlinear problem caused by the transition resistance and improving the fault location accuracy. The method realizes the closed-loop innovation from signal injection, feature extraction to equation solving, solves the problems of weakly fed characteristics, transition resistance influence and parameter uncertainty at the receiving end in the new energy scene under the premise of ensuring the economy of single-ended fault location; compared with the traditional method, the method does not need additional signal generating device, directly uses the control ability of the inverter itself to realize signal injection, reduces the hardware cost and system complexity. Through the injection and detection of characteristic signals, combined with the improved fault location algorithm, the single-phase grounding fault location accuracy can be significantly improved.
[0040] Further, the criterion reliability and control response real-time are considered. The starting criterion adopts the double conditions of power frequency voltage drop exceeding 10% and lasting for 3 ms. The threshold of 10% is higher than the normal fluctuation range to prevent false start, and the duration of 3 ms ensures to avoid transient disturbance. This strict time window design is derived from the fast response characteristics of power electronic equipment, which improves the fault identification speed by nearly 7 times compared with the weekly criterion of traditional protection. In the control strategy, the power frequency component is controlled differently through the positive and negative sequence separation link: the reactive power priority strategy is adopted for the positive sequence component to dynamically increase the reactive current output during voltage drop and enhance the voltage support capability; the negative sequence suppression strategy is adopted for the negative sequence component to limit the negative sequence current to within 5% through closed-loop control to avoid the thermal shock of unbalanced current to the power device of the inverter. The outstanding advantage of this separation control strategy is that it not only meets the reactive power support requirement of the low voltage ride through control strategy of the grid connection guide, but also ensures the minimization of the background harmonic of the system during the signal injection stage, creating ideal conditions for subsequent feature signal detection. Experimental data shows that the strategy can restore the fault phase voltage to more than 0.85 p.u. within 20 ms, providing a stable electrical environment for the ranging process.
[0041] Further, the frequency range is 100-500 Hz, which achieves the best balance between signal detectability and system safety. The non-power frequency signal avoids confusion with the fundamental component, such as the combination of 200 Hz and 300 Hz, which can utilize the line bandwidth and avoid common harmonic frequency points. The advantage of high frequency band (>100 Hz) signal is that its impedance sensitivity is higher. The inductive reactance ωL in the line per unit length impedance increases linearly with frequency, making the fault distance parameter d more significant in the frequency domain equation. However, it needs to be limited within 500 Hz, because the switching frequency of photovoltaic inverters is usually 2-20 kHz, and 500 Hz signal can be accurately generated through PWM modulation, while too high frequency will cause switching loss and heat dissipation problems. The dual frequency design improves the anti-interference ability through signal redundancy: when one frequency point is affected by system resonance, the other frequency point can still provide effective equation. The test shows that the error of dual frequency ranging under 300Ω transition resistance is reduced by 60% compared with single frequency. In addition, the positive sequence injection mode avoids the impact on the transformer neutral point insulation, which meets the safety specifications of power equipment. The frequency optimization selection makes the signal amplitude only need to be 5%-10% of the power frequency current, which maximizes the occupation of the output capacity of the inverter.
[0042] Further, the low-voltage ride-through control strategy includes reactive power priority control strategy and negative sequence suppression strategy, which has the technical advantage of optimizing the power quality and the reliability of fault location. The reactive power priority control strategy is realized by modifying the d-axis current reference value: the d-axis corresponds to the active component in normal operation, and the d-axis corresponds to the reactive component during fault. This strategy makes the reactive current increase to 130% of the rated value within 100 ms, accelerating the voltage recovery process. The negative sequence suppression strategy uses double-loop control: the inner loop provides high gain at the negative sequence frequency through the controller to suppress the negative sequence current below 0.05 p.u., and the outer loop adjusts the negative sequence voltage to near zero. The core value of this design is to eliminate the interference of negative sequence component on the phase selection link: the traditional method is prone to misjudgment of fault phase in severe asymmetry, while this strategy reduces the negative sequence voltage distortion rate to below 3%, ensuring the reliable action of phase difference criterion. Through simulation comparison, the system using this control strategy shortens the time required for voltage recovery to 0.9 p.u. by 40% after fault, and the signal-to-noise ratio of characteristic signal is improved by more than 15 dB, greatly improving the subsequent distance measurement accuracy.
[0043] Further, when a phase occurs ground fault, the negative sequence current and zero sequence current of the fault branch are equal in size and opposite in direction, while the phase difference of the healthy phase is randomly distributed. Compared with the traditional phase vector method, this criterion has strong anti-transition resistance capability: even if the ground resistance is 300Ω, the amplitude of negative sequence / zero sequence current may decay, but the phase relationship remains stable; at the same time, it adapts to the inherent asymmetry of new energy scene, avoiding misjudgment caused by normal asymmetry. Test data shows that under the extreme condition of system imbalance degree of 20%, the selection phase method still maintains 99.2% accuracy, while the traditional method decreases to below 75%. This innovation lays the foundation for subsequent accurate acquisition of fault phase double-frequency signal: if the phase selection is wrong, the electrical quantity of non-fault phase cannot reflect the true fault state.
[0044] Further, the zero sequence compensation coefficient K is usually simplified as a real constant, but in long distance cable lines, it needs to be kept in complex form due to capacitive effect. This method can invert the frequency-dependent characteristics of K through double-frequency measurement. Field tests show that in cable-overhead hybrid lines with a capacitive current ratio of up to 70%, the distance measurement error of this model is still better than 2%, while the error of the traditional power frequency impedance method is more than 10%. In addition, the correlation between fault current and measurement point current in the equation is established through boundary conditions, effectively weakening the influence of uncertainty of equivalent impedance of the opposite side system, which is a common problem in weak grid scenarios at the end of photovoltaic transmission lines.
[0045] Further, the transmission relationship of positive sequence, negative sequence and zero sequence components is uniformly described in matrix form, providing a complete mathematical basis for the derivation of frequency domain parameter equations; considering the differences between positive sequence impedance, negative sequence impedance and zero sequence impedance, the electrical quantities at the measurement point and the fault point are linearly associated through the fault distance d, avoiding the nonlinear error caused by the distributed capacitance; combined with the boundary conditions at the fault point, the equation is closed for solution. Compared with the traditional single-phase modeling method, the propagation characteristics of the sequence components in the unbalanced system can be accurately described, and it is particularly suitable for lines with significant asymmetric parameters. In the disturbance test with a zero sequence impedance measurement error of ±20%, the model still maintains a ranging error of less than 5%, while the error of the simplified model is as high as 25%. In addition, the matrix form is convenient for extension to other fault types, enhancing the universality of the method.
[0046] Further, by splitting the real and imaginary parts and constructing a four-equation nonlinear equation set through double-frequency combination, the single-variable dependence on the transition resistance is broken through, and the joint accurate solution of the fault distance and the transition resistance is realized. The fault current in the equation set is obtained through sequence component transformation, avoiding the nonlinear distortion influence introduced by the fault resistance. Simulations show that the nonlinear equation set has a solution stability that is more than 3 times higher than that of the single-frequency method under strong interference with a signal noise of 10%.
[0047] Further, sliding window phasor extraction and interior point method are introduced, and through the collaborative design of signal processing and optimization algorithm, the equation ill-conditioning problem in the noise environment is solved. The sliding window processing adopts a moving data window, and the voltage / current phasor at the center time of each window is extracted. Dynamic noise suppression is realized: the random noise in the window is reduced through statistical averaging, and the jump between windows reflects the fault transient process, avoiding the pollution of non-periodic components to a single sampling. The interior point method is specially designed for the convex optimization solution of the nonlinear equation set: a central path is constructed inside the feasible region, and the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimal condition is approached in an iterative manner. Compared with the Newton-Raphson method, the interior point method has low sensitivity to initial values and super-linear convergence speed. In terms of computational efficiency, the time complexity of the interior point method is 0, and the solution of the double-frequency four-equation system can be completed within 10 ms, meeting the speed requirement of relay protection.
[0048] It can be understood that the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned second aspect can be referred to the related description in the above-mentioned first aspect, which will not be repeated here.
[0049] In summary, the present application uses the positive sequence double-frequency characteristic signal injected by the photovoltaic inverter to break through the power frequency ranging limitation, constructs a composite sequence network equivalent circuit, realizes the accurate positioning of single-phase ground faults in a weakly fed environment through double-frequency equation splitting and interior point method solving, and the error is still less than 5.23% when the transition resistance is 100 Ω, with no additional hardware cost.

[0062] The application provides a centralized photovoltaic outgoing line single-phase ground fault ranging method, only using the control characteristics of the inverter to inject positive sequence double-frequency characteristic signals to the outgoing line, constructing a fault circuit topology under non-power frequency characteristics after a single-phase ground fault occurs, further giving a single-ended ranging frequency domain equation and algorithm containing fault distance under non-power frequency electrical quantities, realizing fault ranging for centralized new energy outgoing lines, while considering the parameters of the opposite system, having certain transition resistance resistance, fully utilizing the high controllability of the centralized photovoltaic inverter, injecting characteristic signals of specific frequencies to the fault line through additional control strategies after the fault occurs, and enhancing the identifiable of fault characteristics.
[0063] Referring to Figure 2 The centralized photovoltaic outgoing line single-phase ground fault ranging method provided by the application comprises the following steps:

[0066] (1)
[0067] After the fault occurs, the power frequency electrical quantity of the grid-connected point is separated into power frequency voltage positive sequence component and power frequency voltage negative sequence component through the positive and negative sequence separation link. The power frequency voltage positive sequence component adopts the reactive power priority control strategy in the low voltage ride through control strategy, and the power frequency voltage negative sequence component adopts the negative sequence suppression strategy.
