Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of transformer protection technology, specifically to a transformer protection method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium based on zero-sequence compensation. Background Technology
[0002] Transformers are one of the core pieces of equipment in a power system, and their safe and stable operation directly affects the reliability of the power grid. Traditional transformer differential protection is usually based on differential calculations of the current on each side. However, when the high-voltage side of the transformer uses a star connection and the low-voltage side uses a delta connection, zero filtering on the high-voltage side can lead to increased errors in the differential current calculation, which in turn can cause the protection to malfunction or fail to operate.
[0003] 500kV transformers are typically equipped with longitudinal differential protection, phase-specific differential protection, and low-voltage side differential protection as main protection. The longitudinal differential protection is composed of the differential currents from the high-voltage, medium-voltage, and low-voltage sides of the transformer. For transformers with star connections on the high and medium voltage sides and delta connections on the low-voltage side, zero-sequence current will appear on the star side during a ground fault, while the zero-sequence current in the delta-connected windings only flows internally as a circulating current, and the zero-sequence current on the switch side is zero. To prevent the longitudinal differential protection from operating due to an imbalance of zero-sequence current on the star and delta sides during external ground faults, existing protection schemes all perform zero-sequence filtering on the star side during differential current calculations. One zero-sequence filtering method is to filter the zero-sequence current during the phase transition calculation from star to delta, and another method is to subtract the zero-sequence current separately from the star side during the phase transition from delta to star. Regardless of the zero-sequence filtering method, the inrush current characteristics of the differential current will be distorted due to zero-sequence filtering, and zero-sequence filtering will also reduce the sensitivity to high-resistance ground faults, affecting its operating behavior. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This disclosure provides a transformer protection method, device, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium based on zero-sequence compensation, which solves the problem that current longitudinal differential protection performs zero-filtering to ensure the balance of differential current on the star-delta side, resulting in differential current inrush distortion and reduced protection action sensitivity.

[0015] The embodiments described in the following examples of this disclosure are not representative of all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.
[0016] It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the priority of the embodiments.
[0017] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a transformer protection method based on zero-sequence compensation provided according to an embodiment of this disclosure.
[0018] It should be noted that the implementing entity of the transformer protection method based on zero-sequence compensation in this embodiment can be a transformer protection device based on zero-sequence compensation, hereinafter referred to as "device". This device can be configured in any type of electronic device, and this application embodiment does not limit it.
[0019] See Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the transformer protection method based on zero-sequence compensation provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 101: Collect the three-phase current of the high-voltage side switch, the three-phase current of the medium-voltage side switch, the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch, and the three-phase current of the low-voltage side bushing.
[0020] Zero-sequence compensation refers to the correction of relevant currents in power system protection using specific calculation methods to address the impact of zero-sequence current on protection operation characteristics, thereby eliminating or reducing the adverse effects of zero-sequence current and improving the accuracy and reliability of protection device operation.
[0021] Transformer protection methods refer to methods that, in order to ensure the safe operation of transformers, can quickly and accurately detect and isolate faults when transformers malfunction or experience abnormal operating conditions, thereby preventing the faults from escalating and reducing equipment damage and the scope of power outages.
[0022] Among them, the three-phase currents of the high-voltage side switch, the medium-voltage side switch, and the low-voltage side switch refer to the three-phase (A, B, and C phases) currents flowing through the switches on the high-voltage side, medium-voltage side, and low-voltage side of the transformer, respectively. These currents reflect the load conditions and operating status of each side of the transformer and are important raw data in transformer protection calculations.
[0023] The three-phase current of the low-voltage side bushing refers to the three-phase current flowing through the low-voltage side bushing of the transformer. The bushing is an insulating device between the transformer leads and the tank, and its current status reflects the operating condition of the low-voltage side leads and related equipment.
[0024] Specifically, current transformers (CTs) need to be installed on the high-voltage side, medium-voltage side, low-voltage side switches, and low-voltage side bushings of the transformer. The current transformers proportionally transform the large primary current into a smaller secondary current, facilitating measurement and data acquisition by the protection device. Optionally, AC sampling technology can be used, converting the analog current signal output from the secondary side of the current transformer into a digital signal via an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The sampling frequency needs to meet the requirements of the protection algorithm and is generally high to ensure that the acquired current waveform accurately reflects the actual current changes. The acquired digital current signal is transmitted to the microprocessor of the protection device for processing via a communication interface.
[0025] Step 102: Calculate the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing based on the three-phase current of the low-voltage side bushing.
[0026] Specifically, after collecting the three-phase current of the low-voltage side bushing, the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing can be calculated using the following formula:
[0027] in, The zero-sequence current is three times that of the low-voltage side bushing. , , These are the three-phase currents of the low-voltage side bushing. It is the single zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing.
[0028] The zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing refers to the zero-sequence component current that appears in a three-phase system when the three-phase currents are unbalanced. The magnitude and phase of the zero-sequence current are related to the degree of imbalance of the three-phase currents. In this method, the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing is calculated based on the three-phase current of the low-voltage side bushing and used for subsequent zero-sequence compensation calculations.
[0029] Step 103: Based on the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch and the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing, compensate the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch and calculate the compensated three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch.
[0030] The compensated three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch refers to the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch obtained after zero-sequence compensation calculation. After zero-sequence compensation, this current can more accurately reflect the actual current situation of the transformer's low-voltage side switch after considering the influence of zero-sequence current, providing more accurate data for subsequent differential current calculation and improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis.
[0031] Optionally, a zero-sequence compensation formula can be derived based on the phase relationship between the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch and the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing. Based on this formula, zero-sequence compensation can be performed on the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch, and the compensated three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch can be calculated. The zero-sequence compensation formula is as follows:
[0032]
[0033]
[0034] in, , , For the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch, This refers to the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing. , , The three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch after compensation.
[0035] Specifically, after collecting the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch, when the transformer is operating normally, the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch and the three-phase current of the low-voltage side bushing have the following current relationship:
[0036]
[0037]
[0038] in, , , These are the three-phase currents of the low-voltage side switch. , , These are the three-phase currents of the low-voltage side bushing.
[0039] Furthermore, the following formula can be derived:
[0040]
[0041]
[0042] in, , , These are the three-phase currents of the low-voltage side switch. , , These are the three-phase currents of the low-voltage side bushing. The zero-sequence current is three times that of the low-voltage side bushing.
[0043] Furthermore, the zero-sequence compensation formula for the low-pressure side is derived as follows:
[0044]
[0045]
[0046] It should be noted that for transformers with low-voltage side delta connection, the low-voltage side switch cannot collect zero-sequence current. However, since the low-voltage side bushing collects the current before the delta connection, which includes a zero-sequence current component, the zero-sequence current characteristics of the low-voltage side bushing can be used, combined with the relationship between the current of the low-voltage side bushing and the low-voltage side switch, to achieve compensation for the low-voltage side zero-sequence current.
[0047] The novel transformer protection method based on zero-sequence compensation of the present invention allows the low-voltage side switching current to reflect the zero-sequence component through the low-voltage side bushing zero-sequence current after zero-sequence compensation. This not only balances the zero-sequence current of the high-voltage side star connection, but also effectively avoids the distortion of differential current calculation caused by high-voltage side zero filtering.
[0048] Step 104: Calculate the differential current based on the three-phase current of the high-voltage side switch, the three-phase current of the medium-voltage side switch, and the compensated three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch.
[0049] Optionally, the differential current is calculated using a preset differential current calculation formula, the three-phase current of the high-voltage side switch, the three-phase current of the medium-voltage side switch, the compensated three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch, the medium-voltage side current conversion factor, and the low-voltage side current conversion factor. The preset differential current calculation formula is as follows:
[0050]
[0051]
[0052] Among them, K M and K L These are the current reduction factors for the medium-voltage side and the low-voltage side, respectively. , , For the three-phase current of the high-voltage side switch, , , For the three-phase current of the medium-voltage side switch, , , This is the differential current.
[0053] It should be noted that the current on the medium-voltage side and low-voltage side is converted to the high-voltage side using a current conversion factor, eliminating the current amplitude mismatch problem caused by voltage level differences. By incorporating the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing, the zero-sequence current of the star connection on the high-voltage side is balanced, avoiding the differential distortion caused by the traditional high-voltage side zero-filter.
[0054] In this embodiment, the differential current calculation integrates the acquired data from four types of current transformers (CTs), specifically including: Current signal acquired by the high-voltage side current transformer (high-voltage side CT); Current signal acquired by the medium-voltage side current transformer (medium-voltage side CT); Current signal acquired by the low-voltage side winding current transformer (low-voltage winding CT); Current signal acquired by the low-voltage side switch current transformer (low-voltage switch CT).
[0055] The differential protection range of this calculation method is consistent with that of conventional longitudinal differential protection, and compared with phase-by-phase differential protection and local differential protection, it has a wider coverage, enabling comprehensive protection of the entire transformer winding and related circuits. Through the zero-sequence compensation design of the low-voltage side switch, the interference of zero-sequence current on the differential current calculation is offset, eliminating the need for additional zero-sequence filtering circuits or algorithms on the high-voltage and medium-voltage sides. Zero-sequence compensation accurately eliminates the influence of unbalanced zero-sequence components, allowing the differential current calculation to more accurately reflect the current changes during ground faults on the high- and medium-voltage sides, significantly improving the sensitivity of ground fault detection and avoiding missed fault detection. It avoids signal distortion caused by zero-sequence filtering algorithms, ensuring that the differential current data truly restores the actual state of the current on each side of the transformer, providing a more reliable basis for fault judgment and reducing the risk of protection maloperation.
[0056] Optionally, when the low-voltage side of the transformer is delta-connected and the fault occurs on the low-voltage switch side, the preset differential current calculation formula is as follows:
[0057]
[0058]
[0059] It is understandable that the differential current calculation formula is the same as the differential current calculation formula for phase correction of angular-to-star conversion, which is equivalent to the longitudinal differential protection of angular-to-star conversion.
[0060] In transformer protection, differential current refers to the vector sum of the currents flowing into the transformer protection device (after appropriate conversion). Under normal circumstances, the vector sum of the currents on all sides of the transformer is theoretically zero (ignoring unbalanced current). When a fault occurs inside the transformer, the vector sum of the currents on all sides will no longer be zero; this non-zero current is the differential current. By calculating the differential current and comparing it with the set operating value, it can be determined whether a transformer fault has occurred.
[0061] It should be noted that because the voltage levels on each side of the transformer are different, the magnitudes of the currents on each side also differ. In order to accurately compare the currents on each side in differential current calculations, it is necessary to convert the currents on each side to the same voltage level (usually the high-voltage side). The medium-voltage side current conversion factor and the low-voltage side current conversion factor are coefficients used to convert the currents on the medium-voltage side and the low-voltage side to the high-voltage side.
[0062] Optionally, the method of this application embodiment is applicable to transformers with voltage levels of 500kV and above, as well as transformers configured with low-winding current transformers; the method can be switched to any of the following protection modes according to the actual configuration of the transformer's current transformer: Longitudinal differential protection mode with zero-sequence compensation; Phase-separated differential protection mode; Conventional longitudinal differential protection mode.
[0063] Transformers with voltage levels of 500kV and above refer to power transformers with a rated voltage of 500 kV and above. These transformers are typically used in high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage transmission systems, undertaking important tasks of power transmission and transformation. Due to their high voltage level and large capacity, a fault in these transformers can have a wide impact and cause significant losses, thus requiring higher reliability and accuracy from protection devices. This method is applicable to these transformers and helps improve their protection performance.
[0064] Among them, the transformer derived from the low-voltage winding current transformer refers to the transformer that extracts the current signal through the low-voltage winding current transformer. The function of the current transformer is to transform the large current on the primary side into a small current on the secondary side according to a certain ratio, for use by protection devices, measuring instruments, etc.
[0065] Among them, the longitudinal differential protection mode with zero-sequence compensation refers to introducing zero-sequence compensation on the basis of longitudinal differential protection. Longitudinal differential protection is a protection method that compares the vector sum of the currents on each side of the transformer to determine the fault. The longitudinal differential protection mode with zero-sequence compensation, by considering the influence of zero-sequence current on differential current, performs compensation calculations on the relevant currents before performing differential comparison, which can more accurately detect internal faults in the transformer.
[0066] Among them, the phase-differential protection mode refers to a protection mode that provides differential protection for each of the three phases of the transformer. This involves calculating the differential current for each of phases A, B, and C separately, and setting separate operating criteria for each. When a phase meets the fault characteristics, the phase-differential protection mode can more accurately locate the faulty phase, exhibiting high sensitivity for detecting single-phase faults within the transformer, and preventing false tripping of other phase protections due to a fault in one phase.
[0067] Among them, the conventional longitudinal differential protection mode refers to the traditional transformer longitudinal differential protection method, which does not consider zero-sequence compensation factors. It performs zero filtering through the high-voltage side (star side), and then calculates the differential current after phase conversion and amplitude conversion. When the fault characteristics are met, the protection device operates to disconnect the transformer.
[0068] Step 105: Determine whether the transformer is faulty based on the calculated differential current.
[0069] It should be noted that when a transformer experiences an internal fault, the three-phase differential current can effectively reflect the fault situation and trip to cut off the fault current.
[0070] Specifically, differential protection operating conditions can be preset in the protection device. When the differential current meets the operating conditions, the protection device determines that a transformer fault has occurred. The microprocessor of the protection device compares the calculated differential current with the preset operating conditions. If the operating conditions are met, the protection is triggered, such as issuing a trip signal to disconnect the transformer; if the differential current does not meet the operating conditions, the device continues to monitor changes in the current on each side of the transformer. Simultaneously, the protection device can also be configured with auxiliary criteria, such as the restraining characteristics of the differential current, to improve the reliability and selectivity of the protection.
[0071] In this embodiment, the three-phase currents of the high-voltage side switch, medium-voltage side switch, low-voltage side switch, and low-voltage side bushing are first collected. Then, based on the low-voltage side bushing three-phase current, the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing is calculated. Next, based on the low-voltage side switch three-phase current and the low-voltage side bushing zero-sequence current, the low-voltage side switch three-phase current is compensated, and the compensated low-voltage side switch three-phase current is calculated. Then, based on the high-voltage side switch three-phase current, medium-voltage side switch three-phase current, and the compensated low-voltage side switch three-phase current, the differential current is calculated. Finally, the transformer fault is determined based on the calculated differential current. This allows for reliable identification of various types of transformer faults, solving the problems of differential distortion caused by zero-filtering in conventional differential protection and insufficient sensitivity to high-resistance grounding faults on the star side, greatly improving the safety and stability of transformer operation.
[0072] Figure 2 This is a flowchart describing the process of a transformer protection method based on zero-sequence compensation. The specific content is as follows: First, the switching current on all three sides of the transformer and the bushing current on the low-voltage side are simultaneously collected. Then, a low-voltage side switch check is performed to determine if a low-voltage side switch exists. If no low-voltage side switch exists, the system switches to phase-differential mode.
[0073] If a low-voltage side switch is present, proceed to the next step. Next, check if a low-voltage side bushing exists. If no low-voltage side bushing exists, switch to longitudinal differential mode. If a low-voltage side bushing exists, continue with the subsequent process. Then, calculate the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing. Based on the calculated low-voltage side bushing zero-sequence current, perform low-voltage side zero-sequence compensation calculation. Using the collected high-voltage side, medium-voltage side, and compensated low-voltage side bushing currents, calculate the transformer differential current. Based on the calculated differential current, execute the transformer differential protection logic. If the protection logic determines a fault exists, trip to disconnect the fault current. The entire flowchart describes the complete protection process from data acquisition to fault handling, switching different protection modes according to different equipment configurations to ensure effective protection of the transformer under various conditions.
[0074] In this embodiment, the differential current calculation method with zero-sequence compensation is applicable to most transformers of 500kV and above. However, for transformers without low-voltage side switch CTs, phase-by-phase differential protection is implemented using low-voltage side bushing CTs; for transformers without low-voltage side bushing CTs, longitudinal differential protection is implemented using low-voltage side switch CTs, and the new differential protection with zero-sequence compensation is no longer used. Therefore, automatic switching between compensated differential mode, phase-by-phase differential mode, and longitudinal differential mode can be achieved according to the transformer CT parameter settings.
[0075] In this embodiment, the novel transformer protection based on zero-sequence compensation is simulated and verified by establishing an RTDS (Real-Time Digital Simulator) simulation model of a 500kV three-phase split autotransformer.
[0076] In this embodiment, an RTDS simulation model is used to simulate a single-phase ground fault on the high-voltage side (star connection). The grounding resistance value is adjusted, and the sensitivity of the differential protection with zero-sequence compensation is tested and compared with that of conventional longitudinal differential protection and phase-by-phase differential protection. The verification data is shown in Table 1. When the grounding resistance is large, the fault current is small, and the longitudinal differential protection after zero-filtering cannot reflect the fault, so the protection does not operate. At this time, the differential protection with zero-sequence compensation has obvious advantages, and its sensitivity is significantly higher than that of conventional differential protection. Its operating behavior is basically the same as that of phase-by-phase differential protection, but its protection range is larger.
[0077]
[0078] Table 1 In this embodiment, an RTDS simulation model is used to simulate a phase-to-phase grounding fault on the low-voltage switch side (delta connection). The grounding resistance value is adjusted, and the sensitivity of the differential protection using zero-sequence compensation is tested and compared with that of conventional longitudinal differential protection. The verification data is shown in Table 2. When the grounding resistance value is small, the sensitivity of the differential protection using zero-sequence compensation is basically the same as that of conventional differential protection. When a phase-to-phase grounding fault occurs on the delta side, since there is no zero-sequence current in the delta side fault, the differential current calculation of the differential protection using zero-sequence compensation is equivalent to the longitudinal differential protection under the delta-to-star configuration, so its sensitivity is basically the same.
[0079]
[0080] Table 2 This invention proposes a novel differential protection method that replaces zero-sequence elimination with zero-sequence compensation. Employing longitudinal differential protection with zero-sequence compensation, it offers significant advantages over conventional longitudinal differential protection and phase-by-phase differential protection, including a larger protection range, higher sensitivity, and immunity to zero-sequence filtering. It reliably identifies various types of transformer faults and solves the problems of differential distortion caused by zero-sequence filtering in conventional differential protection and insufficient sensitivity to high-resistance grounding faults on the star side, greatly improving the safety and stability of transformer operation. Compared to conventional differential protection, this method has the following advantages: a larger protection range than phase-by-phase and small-area differential protection, and the same range as conventional longitudinal differential protection. It exhibits higher sensitivity to high and medium voltage side grounding faults, and the calculated differential current is more accurate and reliable. When a fault occurs on the delta side, the differential current calculation formula is the same as the differential current calculation formula for phase correction during delta-to-star conversion. It is equivalent to longitudinal differential protection for delta-to-star conversion.
[0081] To facilitate better implementation of the zero-sequence compensation-based transformer protection method of this disclosure, this disclosure also provides a zero-sequence compensation-based transformer protection device based on the above-described zero-sequence compensation-based transformer protection method. The meanings of the terms used are the same as in the above-described zero-sequence compensation-based transformer protection method, and specific implementation details can be found in the description of the method embodiments.
[0082] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a transformer protection device based on zero-sequence compensation provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. The transformer protection device 200 based on zero-sequence compensation includes: The acquisition module 210 is used to acquire the three-phase current of the high-voltage side switch, the three-phase current of the medium-voltage side switch, the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch, and the three-phase current of the low-voltage side bushing of the transformer. The first calculation module 220 is used to calculate the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing based on the three-phase current of the low-voltage side bushing. The second calculation module 230 is used to calculate the compensated three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch based on the three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch and the zero-sequence current of the low-voltage side bushing. The third calculation module 240 is used to calculate the differential current based on the three-phase current of the high-voltage side switch, the three-phase current of the medium-voltage side switch, and the compensated three-phase current of the low-voltage side switch.
