Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system distribution network fault location technology, and relates to a three-phase fault location method, especially a three-phase fault location method based on a chain-type series power supply line. Background Technology
[0002] Economic development begins with electricity. With the continuous improvement of the national economy and people's living standards, the demand for electricity for residential and industrial use is increasing year by year, and the power industry has gradually become a pillar industry of the national economy. Electricity, as a crucial component of energy, is an important material foundation for the survival and development of human society today, and a vital technical indicator reflecting national material production and people's living standards. It holds extremely important strategic significance in national economic and social production. While long-distance chain-type transmission lines bring economic and social benefits, they also place higher demands on fault location methods.
[0003] The accuracy of fault location algorithms depends on whether the line model used matches the actual line. Currently, commonly used fault location algorithms based on single-ended power frequency quantities include: the linear equation method, the quadratic equation method, and the iterative method. Generally, when the transmission line length is less than 100km, fault location algorithms using an RL-type equivalent line model can obtain relatively accurate results. However, for chain-type transmission lines with lengths ranging from 100km to 300km, the distributed capacitance on the transmission line cannot be ignored, and its presence significantly impacts the accuracy of fault location.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this invention proposes a three-phase fault location method based on a chain-type series power supply line.
[0005] A search revealed no publicly available literature of the same or similar prior art as this invention. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a three-phase fault location method based on a chain-type series power transmission line, which is unaffected by the distributed capacitance of the line.
[0007] The present invention solves its practical problem by adopting the following technical solution:
[0008] A three-phase fault location method based on a chain-type series power supply line includes the following specific steps:
[0009] Step 1: When a three-phase fault occurs in a chain-type transmission line, the fault point voltage is obtained based on the boundary conditions at the time of the three-phase fault. With fault point current Relationship;
[0010] Step 2: Based on the fault point voltage obtained in Step 1 With fault point current The relational expression will be something that cannot be directly measured. Through quantities that can be directly measured, such as positive sequence voltage Positive sequence current Positive sequence fault component current We express this in terms of resistance, and then use the property that the transition resistance is a pure resistance to obtain the fault location formula at this time.
[0011] Step 3: Based on the fault location formula obtained in Step 2, the fault location function f(d) is obtained. Using a global one-dimensional search method, the voltage and current distribution of the entire line is estimated. The search distance d that minimizes the location function f(d) is the required fault distance.
[0012] Furthermore, the specific method for step 1 is as follows:

[0016]
[0017] Transforming equation (2) into an equation with phase A as the reference phase, we get:
[0018]
[0019] Furthermore, the fault point voltage obtained in step 1 is used in step 2. With fault point current The relational expression will be something that cannot be directly measured. Through quantities that can be directly measured, such as positive sequence voltage Positive sequence current Positive sequence fault component current The specific method for representing this is as follows:
[0020] During a three-phase fault, the following relationship must be satisfied:
[0021]
[0022] in This is the positive sequence voltage measured at terminal M. This is the positive sequence current measured at terminal M. C1 is the positive sequence voltage at the fault point. C2 is the positive sequence capacitance per unit length of the line.

[0024]
[0025] Where C M1 This is the positive sequence current distribution coefficient.
[0026] Furthermore, the fault location formula in step 2 is:
[0027] By combining equations (3), (4), and (5), we can obtain the distance measurement formula for a three-phase fault:
[0028]
[0029] Furthermore, the specific method for obtaining the fault location function f(d) in step 3 based on the fault location formula obtained in step 2 is as follows:
[0030] A global one-dimensional search method is used to estimate the voltage and current distribution of the entire line;
[0031] Let: where d is the distance from any point on the line to end M; when satisfying When the search distance d is equal to the fault distance x, the search distance d is equal to the fault distance x.
[0032] Fault location is performed by utilizing the characteristic that the phase difference between voltage and current is minimal at the fault point. First, a function of the fault point voltage and fault current with respect to the search distance d is established:
[0033]
[0034] The ranging function for a three-phase fault is:
[0035]
[0036] The ranging function f(d) represents the voltage of the faulty branch corresponding to the search distance d. and current The absolute value of the phase difference;
[0037] Furthermore, the specific method for step 3, which employs a global one-dimensional search to estimate the voltage and current distribution of the entire line and minimizes the distance d of the ranging function f(d), is as follows:
[0038] The search distance d is searched in the interval [0,l] with a certain step size. The search distance d that makes the ranging function f(d) take the minimum value is the fault distance to be found.

[0047] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0048] A three-phase fault location method based on a chain-type series power supply line includes the following specific steps:
[0049] Step 1, chain-type series power supply transmission lines, such as Figure 1 As shown, taking a three-phase fault as an example, through... Figure 2 The boundary conditions for a three-phase fault can be determined, and the voltage at the fault point can be obtained. With fault point current The relational expression.
[0050] In this embodiment, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a single-source chain-type series power transmission line. In the diagram, A, M, N, and D represent busbars;
[0051] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a three-phase fault. R G This is the transition resistance when a three-phase fault occurs in phase A of the line.
[0052] Step 2, according to Figure 3 The positive-sequence equivalent system diagram of a three-phase fault in a transmission line with a single power source considering distributed capacitance, based on a lumped-parameter model, can represent the values that cannot be directly measured. Through directly measurable quantities such as positive sequence voltage Positive sequence current Positive sequence fault component current This can be expressed as follows. Then, utilizing the property that the transition resistance is purely resistive, the fault location formula can be obtained at this point.
[0053] In this embodiment, Figure 3 This is a positive-sequence equivalent system diagram of a three-phase fault in a transmission line with a single power source and considering distributed capacitance, using a lumped-parameter model. The example shown is a three-phase fault occurring in phase A. In the diagram, These are the positive sequence voltage and current phasors measured at the M-terminal protection point. Z represents the system power supply potential. M1 Z is the positive-sequence equivalent impedance on the system side of the M-end of the transmission line. N1 Z is the positive-sequence equivalent impedance on the N-terminal load side. LM1 and Z LN1 Z represents the positive sequence equivalent impedance of the line from the fault point to terminals M and N, respectively. LM1 =xz1,Z LN1 = z1(lx). The distance from the fault point to terminal M is x, and the total length of the line is l. Y LM1 and Y LN1 Y represents the positive sequence equivalent admittance of the line from the fault point to terminals M and N, respectively. LM1 =jωC1x,Y LN1 =jωC1(lx), z1 is the positive sequence impedance per unit length of the line, and C1 is the positive sequence capacitance per unit length of the line. This represents the positive-sequence fault voltage at fault point k. For the flow through the transition resistor R G The positive sequence current.
[0054] Step 3: Since the transition resistance at the fault point is purely resistive, the characteristic that the phase difference between the voltage and current at the fault point is zero can be used to determine the fault location, thereby obtaining the fault location function f(d). A global one-dimensional search method is used to estimate the voltage and current distribution of the entire line. When applying the global one-dimensional search method in the calculation, the phase difference between the voltage and current at the fault point is not strictly zero. Therefore, the search distance d that minimizes the location function f(d) is the fault distance.
[0055] In step 1, when a three-phase fault occurs on the line, the fault diagram is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, we can obtain:
[0056]
[0057] Where R G For grounding transition resistance, R is usually considered to be present in actual line faults. G It exhibits pure resistivity, therefore Compared to The phase is 0°. Therefore, we can obtain:
[0058]
[0059] Transforming equation (2) into an equation with phase A as the reference phase, we get:
[0060]
[0061] In step 2, by Figure 3 It can be seen that, under a three-phase fault, the following relationship is satisfied:
[0062]
[0063] in This is the positive sequence voltage measured at terminal M. This is the positive sequence current measured at terminal M. C1 is the positive sequence voltage at the fault point. C2 is the positive sequence capacitance per unit length of the line.
[0064] According to the basic theory of fault components, the positive sequence current of the faulty branch... The positive sequence fault component current can be measured at the terminal. Let's represent this. We can then obtain:
[0065]
[0066] Where C M1 This is the positive sequence current distribution coefficient.
[0067] By combining equations (3), (4), and (5), we can obtain the distance measurement formula for a three-phase fault:
[0068]
[0069] In step 3, a global one-dimensional search method can be used to estimate the voltage and current distribution of the entire line, let: where d is the distance from any point on the line to terminal M. Since the transition resistance at the fault point is purely resistive, when the following conditions are met... When the fault location is determined, the corresponding search distance d is the fault distance x. However, when applying the global one-dimensional search method in the calculation, the phase difference between the voltage and current at the fault point is not strictly zero. The characteristic that the phase difference between the voltage and current at the fault point is minimal can be used for fault location. First, a function of the fault point voltage and fault current with respect to the search distance d can be established:
[0070]
[0071] The ranging function for a three-phase fault is:
[0072]
[0073] The ranging function f(d) represents the voltage of the faulty branch corresponding to the search distance d. and current The absolute value of the phase difference. The search distance d is searched in the interval [0,l] with a certain step size. The search distance d that makes the ranging function f(d) take the minimum value is the fault distance to be found.
[0074] To verify the fault location algorithm proposed in this invention, a simulation system was built using PSCAD / EMTDC software. Figure 1 The single-power chain-type series power transmission system shown in Table 1 presents the ranging results and errors of the ranging algorithm based on the RL-type equivalent line and the ranging algorithm proposed in this invention when a three-phase fault occurs in the single-power chain-type series power transmission line, under different fault distances and transition resistances.

Therefore, this invention includes, but is not limited to, the embodiments described in the specific implementation. Any other implementations derived by those skilled in the art based on the technical solutions of this invention are also within the scope of protection of this invention.
