[0052] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, a submodule is added from the basic model library of PSCAD / EMTDC software as a protection sub-circuit, thereby obtaining the first sub-protection circuit 1, the second sub-protection circuit 2, the third sub-protection circuit 3, the fourth sub-protection circuit 4, the fifth sub-protection circuit 5, and the sixth sub-protection circuit 6.
[0053] In one optional implementation, step S3 specifically includes:
[0054] S301: Obtain the selection switch, the selection switch including a first silicon carbide N-type insulated gate bipolar transistor, a first RC circuit, a second RC circuit and a second silicon carbide N-type insulated gate bipolar transistor;

[0057] S304: The first sub-protection circuit, the second sub-protection circuit, the third sub-protection circuit, the fourth sub-protection circuit, the fifth sub-protection circuit, and the sixth sub-protection circuit all include a selection switch. The first terminal of the selection switch of the first sub-protection circuit and the first terminal of the selection switch of the fourth sub-protection circuit are connected to the first tap. The first terminal of the selection switch of the second sub-protection circuit and the first terminal of the selection switch of the fifth sub-protection circuit are connected to the second tap. The first terminal of the selection switch of the third sub-protection circuit and the first terminal of the selection switch of the sixth sub-protection circuit are connected to the third tap.

[0061] Based on the advantages of silicon carbide (SiC) such as high voltage withstand capability, strong current carrying capacity, and considerable service life, a selection switch was designed to achieve arc-free switching. The SiC N-type insulated-gate bipolar transistor (SiC IGBT) also incorporates an anti-parallel diode to provide a current path when the IGBT is turned off. The first SiC N-type insulated-gate bipolar transistor 8 is connected in parallel with the first RC circuit 9, which prevents the first SiC N-type insulated-gate bipolar transistor 8 from burning out due to overvoltage during turn-off. Similarly, the second SiC N-type insulated-gate bipolar transistor 11 is connected in parallel with the second RC circuit 10, which prevents the second SiC N-type insulated-gate bipolar transistor 11 from burning out due to overvoltage during turn-off, thus preventing arcing when using this selection switch.
[0062] In one possible implementation, the first RC circuit 9 includes a first resistor 91 and a first capacitor 92. The first terminal of the first resistor 91 is the first terminal of the first RC circuit 9, and the second terminal of the first resistor 91 is connected to the first terminal of the first capacitor 92.

[0068] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, a single-phase four-winding transformer, three control switches, and a resistive load are selected from the basic model library of PSCAD / EMTDC software and connected together to form an automatic voltage regulator module with adjustable load voltage, used to simulate load voltage fluctuations. The three control switches are BRK1, BRK2, and BRK3. By adjusting the on / off state of the control switches, the voltage across the low-voltage side load is adjusted.
[0069] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following:
[0070] In this embodiment of the invention, by adjusting the time-controlled switch and the transformer containing the arc-free three-phase on-load tap changer, the distribution transformer can achieve multi-level adjustment, which improves the switching flexibility of the distribution transformer and reduces the problems of large arc and long switching time.

[0079] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following:
[0080] In this embodiment of the invention, six trigger pulse control signals G11, G12, G51, G52, G21, and G22 act sequentially to adjust the high-voltage side winding from the second to the first position. Specifically, the high-voltage side winding is adjusted from high to low as the first, second, and third positions, achieving the goal of increasing the voltage on the low-voltage side of the transformer.
[0081] In one possible implementation, step S7 specifically includes:
[0082] S701: Obtain the third data tag and the display output channel;
[0083] S702: The display output channel includes a first display output channel and a second display output channel. The first display output channel is connected in series between the first terminal of the voltage source and the first winding transformer, and the second display output channel is connected in series between the second terminal of the load and the third winding transformer. It is used to display at least one of the circuit parameters: the voltage of the voltage source, the current of the load, and the voltage of the load.
[0084] Specifically, the display output channel includes a multi-meter measurement module and a voltage and current signal measurement module. The multi-meter measurement module is configured to display active and reactive power; the voltage and current signal measurement module is used to measure circuit parameters, such as current or voltage values. When connecting the display output channel in the simulation model, taking the first display output channel located between the voltage source and the first winding transformer as an example, the connection sequence is as follows: the left voltage source is first connected to the multi-meter measurement module, then to the voltage and current signal measurement module, then to the selection switch in the protection circuit, then to the first winding transformer, then to the second winding transformer, then to the third winding transformer, and finally to the time control switch and the load.
[0085] As shown in Figure 8, after constructing the simulation model using the above-described method for constructing an on-load tap changer simulation model of a distribution transformer, a voltage regulation condition of the load can be established to test the effectiveness of the constructed model and the feasibility of the switching control strategy. The tap changer inter-stage switching control module is instructed to perform an upward voltage adjustment operation at 0.3s with an upward adjustment magnitude of 2%. Its dynamic response process is observed, and the response curves of variables such as voltage and current during the dynamic response process are shown in Figure 8. The power supply side voltage waveform can be displayed through the display module, as shown in Figure a. The power supply side voltage exhibits a sinusoidal waveform and is relatively stable, with an effective value of 10kV. The transformer secondary side voltage waveform is shown in Figure b. The secondary side voltage has stabilized before 0.3s, exhibiting a sinusoidal waveform with an effective value of 0.3kV. After a 0.06s transition period following the upward voltage adjustment operation at 0.3s, the secondary side voltage stabilizes again with an effective value of 0.32kV, representing a voltage adjustment magnitude of 2%. The load-side voltage waveform is shown in Figure c. Before 0.3 seconds, the load-side voltage tends to stabilize. Line losses cause the effective value of the load-side voltage to decrease, with a steady-state value of 0.3 kV. After a transition period of 0.06 seconds following 0.3 seconds, the effective value of the load-side voltage is 0.29 kV, with a voltage regulation amplitude of 1.9%. The load-side power diagram is shown in Figure d. The active power corresponding to the load-side power has a steady-state value of 4.6 kW within 0-0.3 seconds. Due to voltage regulation, there is a response fluctuation within 0.3 seconds, and the steady-state value is 4.8 kW within 0.3-1.5 seconds. The corresponding reactive power stabilizes at 0 within 0-1.5 seconds.
[0086] Therefore, it can be seen that the on-load tap changer topology is effective, proving that the model can avoid arcing and oil contamination during voltage regulation, has a low failure rate, high voltage regulation flexibility, and fast response speed.
