Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power distribution network, and particularly relates to a fault section positioning method for a resonance grounding system based on neutral point injection. BACKGROUND

[0002] Most of the existing urban distribution network lines use cables, which have the problem of excessive capacitive current. In order to avoid the phenomenon of arc grounding, resonance grounding is generally used at the neutral point of the Y-type winding of the transformer. When a single-phase grounding fault occurs in the line, due to the compensation effect of the arc suppression coil, the fault characteristics of the zero sequence current of the fault line are not obvious, which leads to inaccurate measurement or even failure to measure data by the zero sequence current transformer. Therefore, fault positioning becomes very difficult in the above-mentioned scenario. In the field of power system relay protection, different frequency harmonic currents are often injected into the system through the neutral point or Z-type grounding transformer. However, for the neutral point ungrounded system, the injection through the neutral point will cause secondary grounding of the neutral point, leading to protection misoperation or equipment damage. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the problem of how to select the topology structure without affecting the power frequency component during injection. The traditional injection method often uses 220Hz frequency, which is a non-three times and integer multiple harmonic. When the transformer winding is Dyn11 connection, the injected current will be induced to the high-voltage side through the low-voltage winding, affecting the power quality of the grid side. In addition, in the tree-shaped distribution network of multi-branch lines, the injected current will be shunted by the line distribution capacitance, and the current at the fault point may be small. Therefore, when the neutral point injection method is used in the resonance grounding system, the selection of the frequency of the injected current and how to reduce the shunt of the injected current at the non-fault point need to be studied.

[0003] The existing injection method selects a frequency of 60Hz (Chengxiao, Jiaoyanjun, Wang Lizong. Fault location of distribution network based on characteristic frequency signal injection method [J]. Shaanxi Electric Power, 2012, 40(01): 33-36.) characteristic current, but this frequency is close to the power frequency, and the extraction effect is limited. When extracting and processing the injected characteristic current, some studies extract and reconstruct specific components after decomposition (Single-phase grounding fault joint line selection considering distributed power injection harmonics [J]. Power Engineering and Technology, 2023, 42(04): 113-121.), and calculate the energy value to realize fault section positioning, but the results of this method are greatly affected by the human selection strategy. In the field of fault location of resonance grounding system, it can be considered to further optimize the frequency of the injected current based on the injection method, and use the power frequency wave trap to realize more accurate fault section positioning. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to improve the correctness of fault positioning when single-phase grounding fault occurs in a neutral point resonant grounding system and reduce the loss caused by line tripping, the application provides a neutral point injection-based fault section positioning method and device for a resonant grounding system, which mainly aims at the problem that the zero sequence current characteristics are not obvious when single-phase grounding fault occurs due to the resonant grounding compensation capacitor current, and proposes a new fault section positioning technology based on neutral point injection current frequency selection and power frequency wave trap design.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the application is:

[0012] Further, the determination process of the injection frequency f in step 1 is:

[0030] (3) The current deviation rate at the first end of the last fault line is more than 3 times that of the non-fault line.

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in a clear and complete manner with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a neutral point injection-based resonant grounding system fault section positioning method, which comprises the following steps:

[0063] Step 1: Since the distribution network voltage reduction is Dyn11 connection, its closed loop can provide circulation path for 3rd harmonic and its integer multiple harmonic currents. When the injected current is 3rd harmonic, the phase relationship of three-phase currents is:

[0064] (1);

[0065] Since the three-phase currents are in phase, the 3rd harmonic current is zero sequence current, which satisfies the relationship as formula (2).

[0066] (2);

[0067] The 3rd harmonic magnetic motive force in the delta loop is superimposed:

[0068] (3);

[0069] The circulating current generated by the magnetic motive force in the winding is:

[0070] (4);

[0071] In the formula, The 3rd harmonic impedance is very small, so a large 3rd harmonic circulating current will be generated in the delta winding. The magnetic motive force generated by the circulating current is:

[0072] (5);

[0073] In the formula, k is the winding coefficient, and N is the number of turns. The 3rd harmonic magnetic motive force balance equation in the delta winding is:

[0074] (6);

[0075] In the formula, is the original 3rd harmonic magnetic motive force in the transformer, is the compensation magnetic motive force. The compensation magnetic motive force generates a 3rd harmonic voltage on the grid side , so the current flowing into the grid side through the transformer delta winding is:

[0076] (7);

[0077] In the formula, is the equivalent impedance on the grid side under the 3rd harmonic, which is large, so the 3rd harmonic current flowing into the grid side through the transformer delta winding is almost 0, which can be treated as open circuit. Although the 6th harmonic and the 9th harmonic are both 3n harmonics, the 6th harmonic is a negative sequence component, and its three-phase phase relationship is:

[0078] (8);

[0079] As can be seen from formula (8), the 6th harmonic current is three-phase symmetrical, and thus the three-phase winding cancels each other out, so that the 6th harmonic magnetic potential and voltage cannot be generated on the winding and the grid side. However, the 6th harmonic is greatly affected by the system unbalance degree, when a single-phase grounding fault occurs in the system, the injected 6th harmonic is affected by the system asymmetry at the time of fault, and the three-phase current is no longer strictly symmetrical, and the negative sequence current component that cannot be symmetrically canceled out is generated in the transformer winding. Moreover, due to the negative sequence characteristic of the 6th harmonic, it cannot generate circulating current in the delta winding to suppress the circulating current, so that the injected 6th harmonic current will flow into the grid side when the system is unbalanced, thereby expanding the influence range.

[0080] The 9th harmonic three-phase phase relationship is shown in formula (9):

[0081] (9);

[0082] As can be seen from formula (9), the 9th harmonic and the 3rd harmonic are both zero sequence components, so the suppression effect of the Dyn11 transformer on the 9th harmonic is the same as that on the 3rd harmonic, which is better than that on the 6th harmonic, so when selecting the injected current frequency, the 3rd harmonic and the 9th harmonic current are preferentially selected. Considering the accuracy of the characteristic current extraction after injection, the 9th harmonic is injected at the neutral point.

[0083] Step 2: Since there are a large number of capacitive and inductive elements in the zero sequence network, the impedance size is affected by the frequency of the zero sequence current flowing through. As can be seen from the inductive reactance calculation formula , the higher the current frequency, the greater the inductive reactance. As can be seen from the capacitive reactance calculation formula , the size decreases with the increase of the frequency. The capacitive current of the 10kV distribution network is generally tens to hundreds of amperes, and according to the 5% over-compensation, the size of the neutral point arc suppression coil is generally 0.1-2H. When the inductance is the minimum value 0.1H, the equivalent impedance of the arc suppression coil to the injected 9th harmonic current is still as high as 282.6Ω, and the larger the arc suppression coil, the equivalent impedance increases by several times, so before the size of the transition resistance exceeds the equivalent impedance of the arc suppression coil, the current flowing into the ground through the arc suppression coil is very small. When the injected current is the 9th harmonic, the line inductance increases to 9 times the power frequency, and the capacitive reactance decreases to 1 / 9 of the power frequency, at this time the line inductance cannot be ignored and it should be equivalent to a capacitive branch.

[0084] According to the GB / T50064-2014 "Design Specification for Overvoltage Protection and Insulation Coordination of AC Electrical Devices", when an automatic tracking compensation arc suppression device is used, the system grounding fault residual current Should not be greater than 10A. To reduce the impact of injection current on the equipment and protection in the system, the size of the traditional low-frequency (f<50Hz) injection current is generally limited to below 10A, and the injection duration is generally less than 0.5s. Considering that it is difficult for CT to measure when the current is less than 0.5A, the injection current flowing into the farthest line head should be ensured to be not less than 0.5A, that is , at this time the injection current corresponding to the low-voltage side of the transformer is , wherein is a proportional coefficient representing the amplitude multiple relationship of the injection current at two positions, and at this time the injection current corresponding to the neutral point is According to the above analysis, the constraint condition of the injection current amplitude can be obtained as formula (10):

[0085] (10);

[0086] Considering that the present application adopts 9th harmonic current, the above analysis shows that its ground capacitance reactance is very small, so the ground capacitance current diversion is greater than the power frequency, and therefore the present application takes the maximum value within the range specified in the specification as the injection current size. The injection current amplitude is determined as , to further reduce its impact on the equipment, the injection duration is shortened on the basis of the traditional low-frequency injection method, and the injection duration is required to be not more than 0.2s.

[0087] Step 3: design a power frequency wave trap, which is a parallel structure composed of inductance L and capacitance C, which utilizes the parallel resonance of the power frequency current flowing through the wave trap to realize the conduction of high-frequency injection current and hinder the power frequency current. When the inductance and the capacitance are connected in parallel, the equivalent impedance is:

[0088] (11);

[0089] When the frequency meets , the parallel impedance is infinite, so it plays a role in cutting off the power frequency and the frequency current near it. For the 9th harmonic, the equivalent impedance is:

[0090] (12);

[0091] When formula (12) meets the constraint condition , there is Z9=4.95<5Ω, at this time the corresponding inductance L=0.14H and the capacitance C=72.6uf. After the power frequency wave trap is connected in series with the injection power supply, it is connected in parallel with the neutral point grounding circuit to form an injection line, so that the injection line shows a broken circuit to the power frequency current flowing from the fault point to the ground through the neutral point, and shows a low resistance characteristic to the injection current emitted by the injection power supply.

[0092] Step 4: for example Figure 1The typical neutral point resonance grounding distribution network is shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 The neutral point resonance grounding distribution network fault zero sequence network is shown in Figure 2. Since the transformers all adopt Dyn11 connection mode, the zero sequence network does not contain loads and distributed photovoltaic power sources. Since the distribution network is a multi-branch structure, it is processed in sections, and the line with complete nodes without branches is equivalent to a section, Figure 1 The distribution network is divided into 8 sections of lines, and transformers are installed at the beginning and end of each section of line to collect voltage and current information at the point. As shown in Figure 3, Figure 2 As shown in Figure 4, the injected current flows through the wave trap and generates a partial 9th harmonic voltage drop at the neutral point. A small part of the current flows into the ground through the arc suppression coil, and the remaining current flows into the bus and flows to the lower level line from the bus. Since the line has a large inductive reactance and the end of the line in the zero sequence network is equivalent to an open circuit, the zero sequence voltage generated by the 9th harmonic of the line is mainly affected by the capacitive voltage rise effect, and the zero sequence voltage gradually increases with the direction of the current.

[0093] The line before the fault point is defined as the upstream line of the fault point, and the line after the fault point is defined as the downstream line. Since a ground short circuit occurs at the fault point, the current measured at the beginning of the fault section is the remaining part of the injected current after being shunted by the ground capacitance of the upstream branch line. Therefore, the size of the injected current decreases with the flow direction upstream of the fault point. Since the fault resistance at the fault point is smaller than the equivalent impedance of the ground capacitance, the current mainly flows into the ground through the point, so only a small part of the injected current remains downstream of the fault point. As the fault resistance increases, the current shunted at the fault point becomes smaller, but in general scenarios (0~300Ω), the shunt at the fault point is the main part, and the injected current measured at the end of the fault section is significantly lower than the current measured at the beginning. For the non-fault section upstream of the fault, since the length of each section of the line does not exceed 10 km, the difference between the currents measured at both ends of the section is only the capacitance current of the line to the ground, which does not change significantly.

[0094] Step 5: Based on the analysis of the change of the injected current of the fault feeder in step 4, the difference in the amplitude of the injected current of the fault line and the healthy feeder is further quantified, and the current change percentage of the non-end section line at both ends is defined:

[0095] (13);

[0096] wherein, is the current change percentage of the line i, is the 9th harmonic zero sequence current amplitude at the beginning of the line i, is the 9th harmonic zero sequence current amplitude at the end of the line i. Through simulation verification, the difference between the injected current amplitudes at both ends of the non-fault section is generally not more than 25%, so the threshold value b is taken as 25% in the embodiment of the present application.

[0097] When the fault section is the end section, i.e. directly connected with the load or photovoltaic power supply, the line end and the load cannot form a zero sequence passage, and the injected 9th harmonic current cannot flow through, so no matter whether the section line is faulty, the injected current measured by the end transformer is 0, and the fault section cannot be identified. When the fault occurs in the end section, the 9th harmonic currents measured at the beginning and end of the non-end section line have little difference, and since there are many line branches and multiple end sections, it is still necessary to identify the fault section in all end sections.

[0098] In the present application, the size of the injected current, the system topology and the line parameters are constant, so when no ground fault occurs, the 9th harmonic current flowing into the beginning of each end section is a constant value. As shown in Figure 1 , the section numbers n are 1-8 in turn, and the inherent amplitude of the injected current measured at the beginning of the line n when no fault occurs is . When the line i is faulty, the amplitude of the 9th harmonic current measured at the beginning of the line i is , where the line i is any end section. At this time, the amplitude of the 9th harmonic current measured at the beginning of other end sections is . Since the fault line i provides a ground passage, it provides more injected current, and the amplitude is obviously larger than the inherent current amplitude . The non-fault end section line has no structural change in the section line, so the current change is smaller than that of the fault end section line. Based on the above analysis, the injected current offset rate of the beginning of the end section line is proposed:

[0099] (14);

[0100] The injected current offset rate of the beginning of the end section line is the largest line, which is the fault line. Therefore, no matter where the fault point is located, the fault section can be accurately identified.

[0101] Based on the above analysis: the difference between the current change rate at the beginning and end of the non-end section line when the non-end section line is faulty and normal, and the difference between the injected current offset rate at the beginning of the end section line when the end section line is faulty and normal, the fault section positioning criterion is set: for the non-end section line, if the amplitude of the 9th harmonic current at the beginning is reduced by more than b compared with the 9th harmonic current at the end, it is the fault section. If all non-end section lines do not meet the condition, it is determined that the end section line is faulty, and the injected current offset rate of the beginning of the end section line is the largest line, which is the fault line.

[0102] The fault section positioning process of the present application is shown in Figure 3 .

[0104] b. Injecting a 9th harmonic current with an amplitude of from the neutral point into the system for 0.2 s.

[0105] c. Extracting the steady-state amplitude of the 9th harmonic current at the two ends of each section of the line and recording.

[0106] d. Calculating the percentage of current change at the two ends of the non-fault section If it exists , it indicates that the fault section is the line n, and if it does not exist, it indicates that the fault point is located in the end section of the line.

[0107] e. Comparing the amplitude of the 9th harmonic current at the end of each section of the line with the inherent 9th harmonic current amplitude of the line when no fault occurs, and calculating the current deviation rate of each section of the line, and the largest deviation rate is the fault line.

[0117] The current variation percentage calculation formula is , and the current offset rate calculation formula is , wherein represents the head injection current of the non-terminal feeder i, represents the end injection current of the non-terminal feeder i, is the inherent injection current of the terminal feeder n, and the size is the injection current amplitude of the neutral point injection current at the head of the line during normal operation of the system, is the injection current extracted at the head of the terminal feeder n during the fault.

[0118] Example model: based on the PSCAD / EMTDC platform, a neutral point resonance grounding 10kV distribution network model as shown in Figure 4 is established.

[0119] Example 1: simulation verification of different fault resistance sizes

[0120] In order to study the transition resistance tolerance of the invention after a single-phase grounding fault occurs in the resonance grounding system, a fault occurs at the head of line section 2 at 0.5km at 0.5s, a 9th harmonic current with an amplitude of is injected into the system at 0.8s, and lasts for 0.2s, as shown in Figure 5 . When no fault occurs, the 9th harmonic zero sequence voltage and current amplitudes measured at the head of each section line are as shown in Figure 6 (a) and (b). It can be seen that due to the influence of the line capacity effect, the farther the line is from the injection power source, the higher the 9th harmonic zero sequence voltage.

[0121] When a metallic grounding occurs, the 9th harmonic zero sequence current amplitudes measured at the head of each section line are as shown in Figure 7 . It can be seen that the 9th harmonic zero sequence current of the upstream line through the shortest path between the fault section and the injection power source is relatively large, while the 9th harmonic zero sequence current of the downstream line of the fault section and the branch of the non-shortest path of the upstream line is relatively small. As shown in Figure 8 (b), the current measured at the head of the fault section is 10.06A, the end current is 2.43A, and the current variation percentage is:

[0122] (15);

[0123] The value is much greater than the threshold of 25%, so it is determined as a fault section. And the non-end section line 1 and line 3 similar to line 2 are not directly connected to the load, Figure 8 The current amplitude graph of the first and last ends of the non-end section line when the line 2 is metallic single-phase grounding in the embodiment of the application; Figure 9 The 9th harmonic current amplitude graph of the first end of each section line when the line 3 is metallic single-phase grounding in the embodiment of the application; Figure 10 The current amplitude graph of the first and last ends of the non-end section line when the line 3 is metallic single-phase grounding in the embodiment of the application; the current amplitude and the current change percentage of the first and last ends of each section line are shown in Table 1:

[0124] Table 1: Current change percentage of each non-end section line under different fault resistances

[0125]

[0126] As shown in Table 1, under different transition resistances, the current change percentage of the first and last ends of the fault section is always the largest, and exceeds the threshold of 25%, so the fault section can be identified by this feature.

[0127] Example 2: Simulation verification of different fault positions

[0128] In order to study whether the application can identify different fault positions after single-phase grounding fault occurs in the resonant grounding system, metallic grounding faults are set at the first end of line section 3 at 1 km and the first end of line 7 at 5 km at 0.5 s, and a 9th harmonic current with an amplitude of 30 A is injected into the system at 0.8 s, lasting for 0.2 s.

[0129] When the fault occurs at the first end of section 3 at 1 km, the 9th harmonic current at the first and last ends of each non-end section line is as shown in Table 2. Figure 10

[0130] Table 2: Current change percentage of non-end section line when line 7 is faulty

[0131]

[0132] As shown in Table 2, the current change percentage of line 3 is greater than the threshold and significantly greater than that of the other two lines, so the fault line is determined as line 3.

[0133] When the fault occurs in line 7, the current at the first and last ends of each non-end section line, i.e. line 1, 2 and 3, is shown in Table 3:

[0134] Table 3: Current change percentage of non-end section line when line 7 is faulty

[0135]

[0136] It can be seen that when the end section line has a metallic fault, the main reason for the change of the non-end section line current is the coupling effect of the ground capacitance current and the injected current, resulting in the injected current and the capacitance current flowing to the fault point. But it can be seen that the change amplitude of the non-end section line current is still limited, which does not meet the threshold, so it can be judged that the fault is located in the end section line. The fault current amplitude of the end section line 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 head end is collected as shown in Figure 11 It can be seen that when the end section line has a metallic fault, the main reason for the change of the non-end section line current is the coupling effect of the ground capacitance current and the injected current, resulting in the injected current and the capacitance current flowing to the fault point. But it can be seen that the change amplitude of the non-end section line current is still limited, which does not meet the threshold, so it can be judged that the fault is located in the end section line. The fault current amplitude of the end section line 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 head end is collected as shown in The results are shown in Table 4:

[0137] Table 4: Current displacement rate of end section line when line 7 has a fault

[0138]

[0139] It can be seen from Table 4 that the fault section is line 7, and it can be seen from the above simulation verification that the present application is not affected by the fault location.

[0140] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can be easily thought by any person skilled in the art, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
