AI Technical Summary
The single-phase grounding fault determination method in low-current grounding systems has a high misjudgment rate and is difficult to quickly and accurately identify the faulty line. Especially in the neutral point grounded through the arc suppression coil, the close phase and amplitude of the zero-sequence current lead to a high line selection misjudgment rate.
A rapid start-up algorithm based on instantaneous floating threshold is adopted, which is combined with wavelet packet algorithm to decompose zero-sequence voltage and current data. The three characteristic frequency bands with the largest energy are selected for weighted reconstruction. The grounding interval is identified by phase comparison method, which improves the accuracy and speed of judgment.
By rapidly acquiring transient data at the moment of the fault and weighted reconstructing waveforms in characteristic frequency bands, the reliability and speed of single-phase grounding fault determination in low-current grounding systems are improved, and the false judgment rate is reduced.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of relay protection of power systems, and particularly relates to a single-phase grounding fault determination method for a small-current grounding system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In domestic 3-66kV power supply and distribution networks and nuclear power plant power systems, most of them adopt neutral point non-direct grounding mode, and are commonly called small-current grounding systems (NUGS) because the current flowing through the grounding point is small when a grounding fault occurs. The small-current grounding system includes a neutral point non-grounding system (NUS), a neutral point grounding system through an arc suppression coil (NES, also called a resonance grounding system) and a neutral point grounding system through a resistance (NRS).
[0003] The single-phase grounding fault occurs most frequently in the small-current grounding system. However, when the single-phase grounding fault occurs in the system, the grounding fault current is much smaller than the load current because it does not form a short-circuit loop, and the three-phase line voltage still maintains a symmetrical relationship, which does not affect the continuous power supply to the load, so it is not necessary to trip immediately. The regulation stipulates that it can continue to operate for 1-2 hours. However, due to the presence of the grounding point, the voltage to ground of the non-fault phase in the system rises to 1.732 times the original voltage, which threatens the insulation of the power grid and easily induces another grounding at the weak point of the power grid, thereby forming an inter-phase short circuit. With the increase of the system capacity and the total length of the line, the capacitive current becomes larger and larger, and the overvoltage multiple caused by arc grounding is very high.
[0004] Therefore, domestic and foreign scientific and technological workers have successively conducted researches in the aspects of wiring mode, overvoltage limiting measures and grounding protection, and hope to minimize the probability of single-phase grounding fault and quickly select the fault line to remove the fault as soon as possible. However, when the single-phase grounding fault occurs in the neutral point grounding system through an arc suppression coil, the phase and amplitude of the zero sequence current of the fault line and the non-fault line are relatively close, which leads to a high misjudgment rate of line selection. Most of the commonly used grounding fault determination methods utilize the zero sequence steady-state electrical quantity after the fault. Because the amplitude of the zero sequence steady-state electrical quantity is small when the single-phase grounding occurs, it is difficult to accurately measure, and therefore it is difficult to be practically applied. The injection method is limited by the capacity of the voltage transformer, and the injected signal is small. When there is a grounding with a transition resistance, the fault determination is prone to error. The transient method is currently applied more, but because the characteristic frequency band is not reasonably selected, it is difficult to obtain the waveform at the starting moment, which affects the line selection accuracy. SUMMARY
[0005] The application aims to provide a small current grounding system single-phase grounding fault determination method, which adopts a sudden variable quick start algorithm based on an instantaneous value floating threshold, performs weighted reconstruction on the waveforms of the three characteristic frequency bands with the maximum energy of each interval through a wavelet packet algorithm, and finally uses a phase comparison method to identify the grounding interval, thereby improving the reliability and rapidity of device action in the small current grounding system when a single-phase grounding fault occurs, and solving the problem of high misjudgment rate in the small current grounding system when a single-phase grounding fault occurs.

[0022] The step 4 comprises that the weighted coefficients of the three characteristic frequency bands with the largest energy are determined according to the proportion of the energy of each characteristic frequency band in the sum of the energy of the three characteristic frequency bands.
[0023] The step 5 comprises comparing the directions of the zero sequence currents of each interval after the wavelet packet weighted reconstruction, when the direction of an interval is opposite to the phase of other intervals, the interval is determined as the grounding interval, and when the directions of the zero sequence currents of each interval are consistent, the bus fault is determined.
[0024] The beneficial effects of the present application are that: the sudden variable quick start algorithm based on the instantaneous value floating threshold can quickly and accurately obtain the transient data at the fault time, then the transient data is decomposed through the wavelet packet algorithm, then the three characteristic frequency band waveforms with the largest energy of each interval are weighted and reconstructed, and finally the grounding interval is identified by using the phase comparison method.
