Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of relay protection technology, and in particular to a distance protection method, device and medium based on the difference between positive and negative sequence impedances of a converter. Background Technology

[0002] The high penetration rate of power electronic devices into the power grid has led to increasingly complex system fault characteristics and a deterioration in the adaptability of traditional protection systems. In particular, for distance protection, the weak feedback characteristics exhibited by power electronic devices during faults exacerbate the auxiliary effect on the system at the other end, making the problem of traditional distance protection failing to operate more prominent when non-metallic faults occur on the line.

[0003] Existing research on distance protection improvement methods mainly falls into three categories: impedance complex plane methods, parameter identification methods, and control-protection coordination methods. Among them, impedance complex plane-based methods are mostly based on the assumption that the impedance phases on both sides of the fault point are the same. When a high-resistance ground fault occurs, distance protection algorithms based on impedance complex plane are prone to large errors. Distance protection algorithms based on parameter identification rely on the line RL model and do not fully consider the frequency variation effect of line parameters. They also assume that the transition resistance is constant during the fault transient, which has certain deviations in actual engineering. Distance protection algorithms based on converter control-protection coordination rely on converter control strategies, which are difficult to implement in current engineering.

[0004] In conclusion, it is necessary to further study the distance protection principle and related devices applicable to converter access systems to ensure the safe operation of the power system. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A distance protection method based on the difference between positive and negative sequence impedances of a converter includes the following steps: After detecting an asymmetrical fault, based on the measured electrical quantities and line parameters of the station side, fault loop equations are constructed for single-phase grounding faults and phase-to-phase faults respectively. By taking advantage of the characteristics that the equivalent positive and negative sequence impedances of the converter are not equal, the positive and negative sequence impedances of the non-rotating components of the line and transformer are equal, and the equivalent positive and negative sequence impedances of the synchronous machine at the opposite end are approximately equal, and combined with the boundary conditions corresponding to the fault type, the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the system at the opposite end can be solved from the electrical quantities measured at the protection installation point. Substitute the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the peer system into the fault loop equation, and transform the fault loop equation to eliminate the unknown transition resistance parameter, to obtain a quadratic equation with only the fault distance proportionality coefficient d as an unknown.

This is the line wave impedance.

[0009] Furthermore, for the AG fault in a single-phase ground fault, the fault loop equation is expressed as shown in equation (3): (3) in, and These are the voltage and current of phase A, respectively. This is the zero-sequence current compensation coefficient. This is the positive sequence impedance of the line. and These represent the abrupt changes in positive-sequence voltage and positive-sequence current before and after the fault on the station side, respectively; d is the ratio of the calculated fault distance to the actual fault distance; R f For transition resistance; For the BC fault in the phase-to-phase fault, the fault loop equation is expressed as shown in equation (4): (4) in, and These are the voltage and current of phase B, respectively. and These are the C-phase voltage and current, respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, for AG faults within single-phase ground faults, the default transition resistance R... f With the phase at 0, a tan transform is taken on both sides of equation (3) to eliminate R. f It is represented as shown in equation (5): (5) Expanding equation (5) constructs a quadratic equation with the unknown d, and the solution for d is shown in equation (6): (6) in, This represents the apparent impedance measured at the protection installation location. This represents an intermediate complex number introduced during the transformation process. A1, B1, and C1 are real coefficients composed of the known impedance magnitude and phase angle. Indicates the positive sequence impedance of the line phase angle, Indicates the measurement of apparent impedance phase angle, Z represents the equivalent positive-sequence impedance of the opposite system. n1 The phase angle.

[0011] Furthermore, for the BC fault in phase-to-phase faults, the default transition resistance R is... fWith the phase at 0, a tan transform is taken on both sides of equation (4) to eliminate R. f The transformed expression is expanded to construct a quadratic equation with only the fault distance d as the unknown, as shown in equation (7): (7) Among them, A2, B2, and C2 are real coefficients composed of the known impedance magnitude and phase angle. This indicates the phase angle of the apparent impedance measured between phases BC.

[0012] Furthermore, based on the constraints of fault distance and transition resistance, the true solution is selected according to the discrimination logic shown in equation (8): (8) Where d is the fault distance, R f This is the transition resistance.

[0013] Furthermore, the criteria for determining faults within and outside the distance protection zone I satisfy equation (9): (9) Where, d set The protection settings are for section I of the line.

[0014] A distance protection device based on the difference between positive and negative sequence impedances of a converter, comprising: The loop construction module is used to construct fault loop equations for single-phase grounding faults and phase-to-phase faults respectively, based on the three-phase voltage, current and line parameter information collected at the protection installation location after detecting an asymmetrical fault. The impedance calculation module is used to establish the calculation relationship of the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the counterpart system based on the sequence component equivalent modeling, and to calculate the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the counterpart system by combining the fault boundary conditions and the line equivalent model parameters, using the voltage and current sequence components or their abrupt changes before and after the fault at the protection installation location.

[0016] A computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method.

[0017] The technical solution of this invention can achieve the following technical effects: This invention utilizes the characteristic that the transition resistance phase is 0 to perform a tan transformation on both sides of the fault loop equation, thereby eliminating the influence related to the transition resistance in the equation. This allows the ranging equation to retain only the fault distance proportional coefficient d as an unknown quantity, thus weakening the under-distance or failure to operate effect of high-resistance grounding or non-metallic faults on distance protection from a mechanistic perspective.

[0018] First, the equivalent positive-sequence impedance of the peer system is calculated based on the characteristics of the positive and negative sequence impedance differences of the converter, the fault boundary conditions, and the Bergeron model of the line. Then, the impedance is substituted into the fault loop equation to complete the distance measurement, thereby reducing the disturbance of the apparent impedance and distance measurement results caused by the auxiliary and parameter changes of the peer system.

[0019] The transition resistance R is obtained by substituting the two candidate d values ​​obtained from the quadratic equation back into the equation. f Then, based on the reasonable range of d and R f Non-negative constraint screening can effectively eliminate mathematical pseudo-solutions and improve the stability and usability of ranging output.

[0030] This invention provides a distance protection method and device based on the difference between positive and negative sequence impedances of a converter. For single-phase grounding faults and phase-to-phase faults, a fault loop equation is first constructed. Then, combining the characteristics of large difference between the equivalent positive and negative sequence impedances of the converter and the fault boundary conditions, the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the opposite system is derived. Substituting this into the fault loop equation, the fault distance is solved. Combining the directional element, the phase selection element and the proposed fault distance algorithm, a distance protection device suitable for converter-connected systems is constructed.

[0031] This invention is applicable to converter grid-connected scenarios, with the distance protection device installed at the line end on the station side. The device can collect three-phase voltage, current, and zero-sequence current at the protection installation location, and perform distance measurement and in-zone / out-zone discrimination based on line parameters.

[0032] During asymmetrical faults, converter-connected systems exhibit characteristics such as weak feed and significant differences in equivalent sequence impedance. Traditional distance protection is susceptible to failure to operate or increased error due to the influence of transition resistance and equivalent parameters of the peer system.

[0033] During asymmetrical faults, converter-connected systems exhibit characteristics such as weak feed and significant differences in equivalent sequence impedance. Traditional distance protection is susceptible to failure to operate or increased error due to the influence of transition resistance and equivalent parameters of the peer system. This invention utilizes the characteristic of "large differences in equivalent positive and negative sequence impedances of the converter" to significantly improve the distance measurement adaptability and operational reliability under high-resistance faults and long-line conditions by calculating the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the peer system and introducing subsequent processing to eliminate transition resistance.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a distance protection method based on the difference between the positive and negative sequence impedances of a converter includes the following steps: After detecting an asymmetrical fault, based on the measured electrical quantities and line parameters of the station side, fault loop equations are constructed for single-phase grounding faults and phase-to-phase faults respectively. The detection of asymmetrical faults can be completed by starting elements. The electrical quantities of the station side are usually the fundamental phasors before and after the fault or their abrupt changes. The abrupt changes can be obtained by subtracting the steady-state phasor of one cycle before the fault from the phasor of several sampling points / half-cycles after the fault.

[0035] By taking advantage of the large difference in equivalent positive and negative sequence impedances of the converter, the equal positive and negative sequence impedances of non-rotating components such as lines and transformers, and the approximately equal equivalent positive and negative sequence impedances of the synchronous machine at the opposite end, and in combination with the corresponding fault boundary conditions and the Bergeron model of the line, the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the system at the opposite end is calculated.

[0036] The boundary conditions corresponding to the fault types include: for a single-phase ground fault, the positive-sequence current and the negative-sequence current at the fault point are equal; for a phase-to-phase fault, the positive-sequence current and the negative-sequence current at the fault point have equal amplitudes but opposite phases, as specifically stated below: ; in, and These are the positive-sequence current and negative-sequence current at the fault point, respectively.

[0037] Furthermore, the Bergeron model is used to consider the effects of line distributed parameters, which better reflects the characteristics of long lines and transient propagation compared to the simplified RL model. Based on the differentiated response with large differences in positive and negative sequence impedances of the converter, the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the opposite end system is calculated.

[0038] See Figure 1 As shown, for an AG fault in a single-phase ground fault, the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the system at the other end is as shown in equation (1): (1) And the mutation difference satisfies: ; in, The positive sequence impedance of the opposite system. , , and These represent the sudden changes in voltage and current in phases B and C before and after the fault. The propagation coefficient of the transmission line. For line length, Line impedance; For the BC fault in phase-to-phase faults, the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the opposite end system is shown in equation (2): (2) in, The positive sequence impedance of the opposite system. and The voltage and current changes in phase A before and after the fault are represented. This is the line wave impedance.

[0039] By first calculating the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the peer system, the uncertainty of the peer system parameters in traditional distance protection is explicitly absorbed into the equivalent parameters, so that subsequent ranging is mainly determined by the measured quantities and line parameters at this end, thereby reducing the impact of unknown and changing peer system parameters on ranging accuracy and operational reliability from the source.

[0040] Furthermore, the equivalent positive sequence impedance of the opposite system is substituted into the fault loop equation. Taking advantage of the characteristic that the phase of the transition resistance is 0, a tan transformation is performed on both sides of the fault loop equation to eliminate the transition resistance, forming a quadratic equation with only the fault distance proportionality coefficient d as the unique unknown. Specifically, for the AG fault in a single-phase ground fault, the fault loop equation is expressed as shown in equation (3): (3) in, and These are the voltage and current of phase A, respectively. This is the zero-sequence current compensation coefficient. This is the positive sequence impedance of the line. and These represent the abrupt changes in positive-sequence voltage and positive-sequence current before and after the fault on the station side, respectively; d is the ratio of the calculated fault distance to the actual fault distance; R f For transition resistance; For the BC fault in the phase-to-phase fault, the fault loop equation is expressed as shown in equation (4): (4) in, and These are the voltage and current of phase B, respectively. and These are the C-phase voltage and current, respectively. This represents the apparent impedance measured at the protection installation location for a phase-to-phase fault (BC). It represents the proportionality coefficient for complex numbers.

[0041] Furthermore, for AG faults within single-phase ground faults, the default transition resistance R... f With the phase at 0, a tan transform is taken on both sides of equation (3) to eliminate R. f It is represented as shown in equation (5): (5) Expanding equation (5) constructs a quadratic equation with the unknown d, and the solution for d is shown in equation (6): (6) in, This represents the apparent impedance measured at the protection installation location. This represents an intermediate complex number introduced during the transformation process. A1, B1, and C1 are real coefficients composed of the known impedance magnitude and phase angle. Indicates the positive sequence impedance of the line phase angle, Indicates the measurement of apparent impedance phase angle, Z represents the equivalent positive-sequence impedance of the opposite system. n1 The phase angle.

[0042] For the BC fault in phase-to-phase faults, the default transition resistance R is... f With the phase at 0, a tan transform is taken on both sides of equation (4) to eliminate R. f The transformed expression is expanded to construct a quadratic equation with only the fault distance d as the unknown, as shown in equation (7): (7) Among them, A2, B2, and C2 are real coefficients composed of the known impedance magnitude and phase angle. This indicates the phase angle of the apparent impedance measured between phases BC.

[0043] The above steps weaken or eliminate the influence of transition resistance during high-resistance faults from the key criteria, avoiding large errors caused by the phase assumption not being valid in the traditional impedance complex plane method when grounding at high resistance. At the same time, the solution is in the form of a quadratic equation, which facilitates engineering implementation and real-time calculation.

[0044] Solving the quadratic equation yields two candidate solutions for d. Substituting each candidate solution back into the fault loop equation, the corresponding transition resistance R is obtained. f The true solution is selected based on the constraints of fault distance and transition resistance.

[0045] Specifically, the true solution is selected based on the constraints of fault distance and transition resistance, according to the discrimination logic shown in equation (8): (8) Where d is the fault distance, R f This is the transition resistance.

[0046] Find R by back substitution f By combining reasonable interval screening, mathematical pseudo-solutions can be effectively eliminated, improving the usability and consistency of ranging results; especially in long lines, weak feeds, significant boosting, or large sampling disturbances, the risk of misjudgment can be reduced.

[0047] See Figure 3 As shown, the fault distance proportional coefficient d obtained by screening is compared with the setting values ​​d of the directional element, the phase selection element, and the distance protection I section. set Perform linkage judgment and execute distance protection logic: When a fault is determined to be within the positive direction zone, the protection device will activate.

[0048] Specifically, the criteria for determining faults within and outside the distance protection zone I satisfy equation (9): (9) Where, d set This is the protection setting for section I of the line. By connecting the ranging result with the direction, phase selection, and setting value in series, a complete and implementable protection link can be formed: ensuring both selectivity and speed of action, and utilizing the robustness of the ranging method of this invention under high-resistance faults to reduce failure to operate.
