Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of capacitor tower protection technology, and in particular to a method for setting the trip delay of capacitor towers in response to bird damage. Background Technology

[0002] The capacitor towers in converter stations play a crucial role in filtering harmonics and providing reactive power support. However, in recent years, bird-related protection malfunctions have occurred frequently, seriously jeopardizing the safe and stable operation of the converter station. Due to the unique charging and discharging process of the capacitor towers, reclosing cannot be used to eliminate the impact of bird damage.

[0003] Existing capacitor tower protection methods mainly rely on unbalanced protection, which is designed primarily for short-circuit faults caused by the breakdown of internal components within capacitor cells. Since bird damage faults typically cause multiple capacitor cells to short-circuit simultaneously across floors, the resulting unbalanced current ratio (the ratio of unbalanced current to through current) is usually much greater than that of internal faults. Therefore, protection devices often misclassify transient bird damage faults as severe, permanent internal faults and trip within a very short delay, leading to false tripping accidents.

[0004] Currently, in order to reduce accidental activation, additional bird deterrent devices are usually installed on capacitor towers to physically drive away birds and prevent them from approaching, thereby reducing bird damage and accidental activation caused by birds. However, additional bird deterrent devices not only increase the cost of the devices, but also cannot completely drive away birds, and accidental activation caused by birds can still occur, affecting the normal operation of the capacitor tower, potentially causing voltage instability in the converter station, and increasing operation and maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] In order to avoid transient bird damage faults and reduce the possibility of protection malfunctions, it is necessary to allow the bird damage to be eliminated automatically through a long delay. However, in order to prevent damage to the capacitor unit during the fault, it is necessary to set and calculate the maximum delay that the capacitor can withstand. In this way, the long delay can reduce the false tripping caused by bird damage faults, thereby improving the safety and stability of the entire converter station.

[0028] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, after obtaining the capacitor tower trip delay range, the following steps are included: if the bird damage fault is resolved on its own within the capacitor tower trip delay range, the target capacitor tower will not trip; if the bird damage fault cannot be resolved on its own within the capacitor tower trip delay range and the fault persists, the tower will trip when the trip delay range is exceeded.

[0029] This invention theoretically calculates the actual voltage and current conditions on capacitor cells that may experience overload after a bird-damage fault, thereby calculating the voltage factor for each bridge arm and obtaining the withstand time delay for the capacitor cell. By accurately calculating the electrical parameters of bird-damage faults, this invention achieves dynamic time-delay protection based on overvoltage levels, solving the problem of false tripping, ensuring equipment safety, and complying with national standards, thus possessing significant engineering practical value. Furthermore, this invention, through a standardized calculation process, is applicable to various types of capacitor towers, requiring only basic electrical parameters for setting, making it universally applicable.

[0030] This invention proposes a method for calculating overvoltage levels when bird-damage faults occur in capacitor towers of different structures and voltage levels. It also provides, in conjunction with national standards, the maximum delay that a capacitor unit can withstand under different overvoltage levels, enabling the setting and calculation of the tripping delay time after a bird-damage fault. This extended delay reduces false tripping caused by bird-damage faults, thereby improving the safety and stability of the entire converter station. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the filter capacitor tower BP11. In this invention, the influence of the minute resistance inside the capacitor unit is ignored during the calculation process, and the capacitor unit is considered as a pure capacitor. Taking the filter capacitor tower BP11 in a circulating station as an example, assuming the bird damage fault occurs in its upper left bridge arm, a time delay setting is performed. The specific process includes: S201: Determine the series and parallel connection structure of the capacitor units in the capacitor tower and the capacitance value of the capacitor units; at the same time, obtain the effective value of the voltage across the capacitor tower.

In the most severe fault scenario, the number of short-circuit units is: Choose the minimum resistance value for the fault. ; S208: Calculate the impedance value of the upper left bridge arm under the most severe fault condition. The impedance value of the upper right bridge arm The impedance value of the lower left bridge arm impedance value of the lower right bridge arm , respectively represented as: ; ; ; S209: Calculate the voltage drop across the non-faulty cells in the faulty bridge arm under the most severe fault condition, including: Calculate the arm voltage of the faulty arm. ; Calculate the voltage drop across the non-faulty cells on the faulty bridge arm. ; S210: Calculate the overvoltage level on non-faulty units during the most severe fault based on the obtained fault current, expressed as: ; in, This indicates the voltage factor under the most severe fault condition.

[0033] The mapping relationship between voltage factor and maximum duration, as clearly specified in Chapter 19 of GB / T 11024 / 1-2019, is shown in Table 1: Table 1. Mapping relationship between voltage factor and maximum duration form voltage factor Maximum duration illustrate power frequency 1.00 continuous The highest average value of the capacitor during any time period. power frequency 1.10 12 hours out of every 24 hours System voltage regulation and fluctuation power frequency 1.15 30 minutes every 24 hours System voltage regulation and fluctuation power frequency 1.20 5min Voltage rise under light load power frequency 1.30 1min

[0034] Therefore, in this embodiment, the trip delay selection range is from 1 minute to continuous operation. The specific trip delay selection needs to be combined with the frequency and severity of bird damage in the actual converter station.

[0035] This invention can quickly determine the overload level of capacitor cells under different degrees of bird damage faults in different types of capacitor towers through theoretical calculations. Furthermore, by combining this with current national standards, the corresponding delay time that the capacitor cells can withstand can be easily obtained. The calculation method requires simple and clear information, the calculation process is straightforward, it does not consume significant computing resources, and it can quickly yield the final result, demonstrating good economic efficiency. Moreover, this calculation method is not specific to any particular capacitor tower type and has universal applicability.

The maximum and minimum values ​​are selected to obtain the corresponding maximum duration, thus determining the capacitor tower trip delay range. This range controls the target capacitor tower to not trip, allowing the bird damage fault to resolve itself, thereby avoiding false tripping and significantly improving the operational reliability of the converter station. This invention theoretically calculates the actual voltage and current conditions on capacitor units that may experience overload after a bird damage fault, calculating the voltage factor corresponding to each arm and obtaining the delay time that the capacitor unit can withstand.
