[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0019] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application.

It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0020] As Figures 1-4 shown, the tree-shaped DC grounding electrode for smart grid includes an electrode 1, the electrode 1 includes a straight electrode 1 trunk, a plurality of straight electrode 1 branches arranged close to the straight electrode 1 trunk, and a ring-shaped end electrode 1 arranged close to the other end of the straight electrode 1 branch; further includes a center device or grounding electrode line terminal tower 2, the electrode 1 is divided into a plurality of segments, each segment of the electrode 1 is connected with a feeder cable 3, and the feeder cable 3 is connected with the center device or grounding electrode line terminal tower 2 through a current guide wire 4.

[0021] The material of the electrode 1 comprises active filling material 11 and several feeding elements 12 embedded in the active filling material 11, and the feeding cable 3 is connected with the several feeding elements 12 in one segment of the electrode 1.

[0022] When the material of the feeding elements 12 is high-silicon chromium iron or high-silicon cast iron, the feeding cable 3 comprises a distribution cable 31 and several self-provided current-carrying cables 32 on the several feeding elements 12 in one segment of the electrode 1, the distribution cable 31 is laid along with the electrode 1, the distribution cable 31 is connected with the current-carrying wire 4, and the distribution cable 31 is provided with several welding heads 33, and the several current-carrying cables 32 are welded on one welding head 33 of the distribution cable 31.

[0023] When the material of the feeding elements 12 is steel rods, the distribution cable 31 is not needed, and the feeding cable 3 comprises the several self-provided current-carrying cables 32 on the several feeding elements 12 in one segment of the electrode 1, and the several self-provided current-carrying cables 32 on the several feeding elements 12 in one segment of the electrode 1 are connected with one current-carrying wire 4.

[0024] The current-carrying wire 4 is arranged in an overhead laying or underground laying mode, the central device or the grounding electrode line terminal tower 2 is connected with a bus bar 41, and the several current-carrying wires 4 are all connected with the bus bar 41.

[0025] In order to ensure that the grounding electrode is safe and reliable in operation under the corresponding system conditions and in the design service life, the design of the grounding electrode needs to meet the technical condition requirements of current-carrying, temperature rise, corrosion, grounding resistance, step potential difference, touch potential difference, transfer potential, surface current density and the like. The system conditions and technical conditions related to the design of the DC grounding electrode are discussed in detail in the specification and specification such as DL / T 5224-2014 “Technical Specification for Design of High-voltage Direct-current Transmission Ground Return System”. The present application only discusses the design method and process of the dendritic grounding electrode in detail.

[0026] As shown in Figure 5 The design method of the dendritic DC grounding electrode for the smart grid comprises the following steps: S1: Recommended pole site determination: according to the distribution of surrounding metal pipelines, railways, substations and other obstacle facilities, and combined with the conditions of the pole site itself, the recommended pole site is determined.

[0027] S2: Recommended pole site survey: topographic map measurement, topography, geological structure and seismic parameters, stratum lithology, underground water level, adverse geological action, mineral resources, shallow and deep soil resistivity, soil heat capacity and thermal conductivity, water conservancy projects, flood inundation, waterlogging, erosion, soil temperature and the like are surveyed and collected.

[0028] S3: electrode 1 arrangement scheme determination: S31: According to the terrain, topography, and distribution of facilities such as houses, etc. in the electrode area, screen out each relatively flat and thick soil layer belt for electrode 1 arrangement; S32: Estimate the required electrode 1 length according to the design system conditions, and combine the screened out each belt to develop all possible electrode 1 arrangement schemes; In the process of developing the electrode 1 arrangement scheme, in order to obtain a relatively optimal scheme, the following points need to be noted: a) The overall electrode 1 extension in each direction should be as short as possible, and the entire electrode 1 arrangement should be as "round" as possible to reduce the non-uniformity of the leakage current density; b) The electrode 1 should be arranged as symmetrically as possible to improve the operating performance while considering the arrangement scheme of the current diversion system to improve the balance and reliability of the current diversion system; c) In the process of selecting the burial path of the straight electrode 1, the number of angles should be reduced as much as possible to avoid "large angles" and reduce the leakage current density value at the angles; d) At the end with the largest overflow density, a suitable "flow equalization ring" such as a runway-shaped end electrode 1 can be arranged according to the size of the site to reduce the end effect; S33: Simulate and calculate each electrode 1 arrangement scheme to determine the related technical parameters such as electrode 1 burial depth, electrode 1 material and size, and perform step-over potential difference check to confirm whether each arrangement scheme meets the technical condition requirements; In particular, since the tree-shaped grounding electrode has a wider electrode 1 arrangement range than the ring-shaped grounding electrode, there may be a large difference in soil resistivity at different branch locations, so different soil models can be considered for simulation calculation at different locations to make the current distribution and other calculation values more accurate; S34: Combine the engineering quantity, overflow density deviation coefficient, etc. to comprehensively compare and select each arrangement scheme that meets the technical condition requirements to determine the recommended electrode 1 arrangement scheme.

[0029] S4: Current diversion system design: S41: Center device or grounding electrode line terminal tower 2 site selection: The center device should be arranged as close as possible to the geometric center of the overall electrode 1; When the current diversion system adopts overhead mode without setting up a bus 41, the grounding electrode line terminal tower should also be arranged as close as possible to the geometric center of the overall electrode 1, which is beneficial to the arrangement of the current diversion system; S42: Current diversion system scheme determination: Determine whether to adopt overhead line or buried cable mode according to the electrode 1 arrangement scheme, site terrain and objects, etc.; S43: Electrode 1 segmentation scheme development: Segment each branch electrode 1 according to its length and position to develop all possible segmentation schemes, and the segmentation scheme should aim to make the current of the current diversion line as uniform as possible, and the number of segments should not be too many to avoid making the current diversion system too complex; S44: For each electrode 1 segmentation scheme, determine the number, model, cross section, etc. of power distribution cable 31, flow line, and determine its laying path, laying method, burial depth, etc. S45: Comprehensive comparison of each electrode 1 segmentation scheme in combination with engineering quantity, current distribution uniformity coefficient of flow line, etc. to determine the recommended electrode 1 segmentation scheme and flow system design scheme.

[0030] S5: Auxiliary facility design: According to the requirements of regulations and specifications and combined with the actual situation of the project, determine the setting position, quantity and related requirements of auxiliary facilities such as infiltration well, detection well, drainage well, marker pile, etc.

[0031] S6: Influence of grounding electrode on surrounding facilities and protection design: Calculate and analyze the influence of the recommended site on surrounding substations, power plants, converter stations, metal pipelines, railways, etc. Related facilities that are affected are proposed for treatment.

[0032] In step S33, the step potential difference check is performed according to the following formula: ; In the formula: U pm is the maximum allowable step potential difference of the grounding electrode, U pm = 7.42 + 0.0318ρ s , ρ s is the equivalent resistivity of the surface soil in the electrode site area (Ω•m), U max is the maximum calculated value of the step potential difference under the designed electrode 1 arrangement scheme; Unlike circular, racetrack-shaped and other ring-shaped grounding electrodes, the tree-shaped grounding electrode is linearly arranged, and the overflow density distribution of its feeder element 12 will be more uneven, so the overflow density deviation coefficient can be used as one of the indicators to evaluate the pros and cons of each tree-shaped arrangement scheme. The overflow density deviation coefficient k er is defined as: ; In the formula: I d is the grounding electrode current; τ av is the average overflow density; τ(l) is the overflow density at any point; L is the total length of the electrode 1.

[0033] Because the length and distribution position of each segment electrode 1 of the tree-shaped grounding electrode can be different, the segment scheme of the tree-shaped grounding electrode 1 can be more, and the current size of each current guide line 4 is closely related to the segment scheme of the electrode 1 when the current guide system is designed. If the segment scheme is unreasonable, the current difference between each current guide line can be large, which reduces the utilization rate of the current guide line and threatens the safe and stable operation of the grounding electrode. For the uniformity of the current of each current guide line 4, there is no related evaluation index in the current regulation specification. The current guide line 4 current distribution uniformity coefficient is introduced to evaluate the uniformity of the current of each segment scheme of the tree-shaped grounding electrode. The smaller the value is, the better the uniformity is.

[0034] In step S45, the current guide line 4 current distribution uniformity coefficient σ is defined as: ; In the formula, I i is the total current of the current guide line 4 on each segment electrode 1 under a certain electrode 1 segment scheme; μ is the average value of the total current of the current guide line 4 of each segment electrode 1 under a certain electrode 1 segment scheme; and n is the number of segments of the electrode 1.

[0035] Embodiment 1: 1. Basic situation of the grounding electrode site of a certain converter station: The overall topography of the grounding electrode site is low-altitude hilly and inter-hill valley land. The site is relatively irregular, uneven and messy. The terraces are mainly mountainous and valley land, which is generally about 30-50 m wide, and locally up to 100 m. The terraces are mainly farmland, and there are also many scattered houses in the grounding electrode site.

[0036] 2. The electrode 1 arrangement scheme of the grounding electrode of the converter station: In view of the characteristics that the site is relatively irregular, uneven and messy, and many houses are scattered, nine electrode 1 arrangement schemes such as double-ring circular, double-ring runway, and tree-shaped are formulated in the engineering design, as shown in FIG. 1. Figures 6-14 In view of the large height difference of the terraces in the grounding electrode site, the thin soil cover layer and the high soil resistivity, the electrodes 1 in all the above arrangement schemes are arranged in the farmland valley land with thick soil cover layer and low soil resistivity as much as possible.

[0037] Because the length of the electrode 1 in each scheme is limited due to the limited range of the grounding electrode site, only the double-ring circular, double-ring runway and tree-shaped arrangement schemes can meet the technical condition requirements after step potential difference verification.

[0038] Under the double ring circular and double ring racetrack scheme, due to the limitation of the site topography, the two arrangement schemes need to produce house demolition, and need to surround a piece of dense houses. In order to avoid the risk of blocking work during subsequent construction and operation, the surrounded houses also need to be demolished. Therefore, under the above premise, the technical and economic comparison of the double ring circular, double ring racetrack and tree branch schemes is shown in Table 1.

[0039] Table 1 is a table for comparing the technical and economic comparison of the double ring circular, double ring racetrack and tree branch schemes.

[0040]

[0041] Note: 1. The investment estimation of each scheme is based on the tree branch scheme as the benchmark, considering the value-added; 2. The maximum allowable step potential difference is 7.98V / m, the maximum allowable grounding electrode temperature is 90℃, and the maximum surface current density of the coke and soil contact surface is 1A / m 2 .

[0042] As can be seen from Table 1, the tree branch grounding electrode has a more uneven discharge density, resulting in a slightly longer electrode 1 length compared to the other two schemes. However, it does not require house demolition, does not surround dense houses, has less construction coordination difficulty and is the most economical, so the tree branch scheme is recommended.

[0043] 3. Design of the grounding electrode current lead system of the converter station: After technical and economic comparison, the tree branch arrangement scheme is selected for the grounding electrode, electrode 1 includes 8 branches with a total length of 5172m and a burial depth of 4.5m. According to the site topography and facility distribution, the grounding electrode is set in the central equipment area near the geometric center of the overall electrode 1, and the current lead system uses buried cable.

[0044] According to the design principles of the tree branch grounding electrode current lead system and combined with the actual situation of the project, 5 major schemes including 8 segments and 12 segments are proposed for the segmentation of electrode 1, and a total of 28 detailed schemes are proposed.

[0045] The optimal scheme of the 5 major schemes is selected for comprehensive comparison, as shown in Figures 15-19 Table 2 shows the comparison of each scheme.

[0046] Table 2 is a comparison table of 5 electrode 1 segmentation schemes.

[0047]

[0048] Note: The total investment of each scheme is based on the 11th segment optimal scheme as the benchmark, considering the value-added.

[0049] From the aspect of current uniformity of the flow line, the cable current distribution uniformity coefficient of the 11-section scheme is the smallest, the cable current distribution uniformity is the best, and the cable utilization rate is the highest.

[0050] From the aspect of total investment, the 11-section scheme is the most economical. The 8-section, 9-section and 10-section schemes have less electrode 1 sections and cable sections, so that the total cable length is shorter but the required cable cross section is larger, resulting in poor economy. Compared with the 11-section scheme, the 12-section scheme uses the same cross-section cable but has a longer total cable length, resulting in poor economy.

[0051] Considering the current uniformity and total investment, the 11-section scheme of the electrode 1 is recommended. In summary, the design scheme of the flow guide system of the tree-shaped grounding electrode of the Chongqing converter station is as shown in Figure 20

[0052] At present, the grounding electrode of the converter station has been built and put into operation. According to the results of the large current test, the parameters such as the grounding resistance, the step potential difference and the contact potential difference of the grounding electrode meet the design requirements and have good compliance with the design values, proving the feasibility of the tree-shaped grounding electrode and the design method thereof.

[0053] The present application is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments, and anyone can derive other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present application, but regardless of any changes in shape or structure, any technical solutions falling within the scope defined by the claims of the present application fall within the protection scope of the present application.​
