TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of power transmission line fault location, and particularly relates to a fault location method using a negative sequence suppression strategy of a grid-connected converter at the opposite end. BACKGROUND
[0002] New energy power generation technology is developing rapidly, and the installed capacity of new energy power sources represented by photovoltaic and wind power is rapidly increasing, which has become the main development direction of global energy transformation. New energy units represented by direct-drive wind turbines and photovoltaic devices are increasingly applied in power grids, and their impact on power grid protection is becoming more and more significant.
[0003] New energy units are connected to the grid through power electronic devices, and the power electronic devices have flexible regulation and control capabilities. The inherent characteristics of power electronic devices result in the short-circuit current during power system faults, which is significantly different from the characteristics of synchronous generators, such as limited amplitude, non-power frequency, and controlled phase. The characteristics of line faults change, and the traditional relay protection principle based on power frequency steady-state quantities faces severe challenges. The traditional fault location method is based on the assumption that the phase of the fault point current is consistent with that of the measuring point current, and is only applicable when the phase of the power source and the line impedance is similar. When one end of the line is connected to a power electronic device, due to the high controllability of the power electronic device, the fault current phase at the new energy side is controlled, and the amplitude is controlled. At this time, the assumption that the phase of the fault point current is consistent with that of the measuring point current no longer holds, and accurate fault location of the line cannot be achieved. Moreover, the traditional fault location method focuses on solving the problem of the opposite side system being a traditional synchronous generator system. When the opposite side system is a power electronic system, the parameters to be identified in the opposite side system are affected by the control strategy of the power electronic device before and after the fault, and have time-varying characteristics, which cannot be accurately identified. For the scenario where the opposite end of the line is connected to a new energy source through a power electronic device, when a single-phase ground fault occurs, the existing fault location method has poor transition resistance resistance, inaccurate identification of the opposite side system parameters, and inaccurate fault location.

[0040] This invention utilizes a fault location method based on the negative sequence suppression strategy of the grid-connected converter at the opposite end. After a fault occurs, the grid-connected converter of the photovoltaic system on the sending line is controlled. Three sets of symmetrical sequence components decouple the mutual inductance elements in the line parameters, providing a network topology that facilitates the analysis of fault distance. For asymmetrical faults such as single-phase grounding faults, the controller of the grid-side converter separates the positive and negative sequence components of the voltage and current collected at the grid connection point. This provides reliable mathematical constraints for time-varying power electronic equipment, assisting in the solution of fault distance. The voltage and current measured at the measurement point, along with the fault distance, enables single-end location of single-phase grounding faults.
[0041] Example 6 To verify the accuracy of the fault location method using the negative sequence suppression strategy of the grid-connected converter at the opposite end of the present invention, this embodiment takes the 110kV transmission line as an example and uses the Berylon model of the electromagnetic transient simulation software PSCAD to establish a simulated photovoltaic grid-connected system model. The parameters of the model are shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows the main parameters of the photovoltaic grid-connected system model.
[0042] Among them, the faulty line section L1 is a transmission line for fault location measurement. Single-end electrical quantities are collected through the measuring point at this end, and the length of the faulty line section L1 is determined. L For example, L1 = 100km; different fault distances and transition resistances were set in the middle section of line L1 to verify the accuracy of single-end fault location in this invention.
[0043] While the controller switches control, ranging is calculated under different fault distances and transition resistances, and the results are shown in Table 2. Table 2 shows the ranging results under different fault distances and transition resistances.
[0044] In the simulation test, the actual fault distances were set to 10, 30, 50, 70, and 90 km, and the actual transition resistances were set to 0, 10, 50, 100, and 300 Ω, respectively. The fault distance results are shown in the table. The data in the same row are the distance measurement results for different transition resistances at the same fault distance. As the transition resistance changes, the distance measurement result is always approximately equal to the actual simulated fault distance. Therefore, the fault location method of the present invention has good resistance to transition resistance.
[0045] The ranging errors are shown in Table 3; Table 3 shows the ranging error.
[0046] The ranging errors are shown in Table 3. Combined with the error curves, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, x The axis coordinates represent the distance to the fault. y The x-axis coordinates represent the transition resistance. z The axis coordinate variable represents the ranging error. The black plane represents the maximum allowable ranging error under different transition resistances and fault distances, while the gray-white gradient curved surface represents the actual ranging error under different transition resistances and fault distances. By observing and comparing the two curved surfaces, it can be seen that as the fault distance and transition resistance increase, the actual ranging error also increases. However, the ranging errors are all within the allowable error range. The ranging results of the fault location method of this invention are feasible, solving the problems of existing fault location methods, such as the inability to identify the parameters of the opposite system, poor resistance to transition resistance, and inaccurate line fault location.
