[0022] When a short circuit occurs at a section of the closed-loop busbar, conventional selective protection cannot accurately identify the source of the inrush current on the left or right side of the fault point.

[0025] In some embodiments, the busbar protection and control device includes a busbar control unit, a busbar detection unit, and a busbar switch.

[0034] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the connection of the ship's electrical protection system provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 3As shown, the generator protection and control device includes a generator control module and a generator feeder switch, which can operate independently.

[0035] In some embodiments, the bus protection monitoring and control device, the load protection monitoring and control device, and the generator protection monitoring and control device all include a display screen, which can display various monitoring data.

[0036] This application also provides a method for electrical protection in a ship, employing the aforementioned ship electrical protection system, such as... Figure 4 As shown, including, First-stage protection: In the event of a fault in the generator, load, busbar, or inter-busbar cable, determine the location of the fault and disconnect the switch at the location of the fault. Second-stage protection: If the switch at the fault location fails to operate, determine the location of the fault on the bus and disconnect the switches at both ends of the bus where the fault is located.

[0037] In some embodiments, the faults include short-circuit faults, ground faults, and phase imbalance faults.

[0038] In some embodiments, in the event of a short-circuit fault or a ground fault, a third stage of protection is also included: if the switches at both ends of the busbar where the fault occurs fail to operate, the busbar switches in all the busbar protection and control devices within the ring network are disconnected.

[0039] The faults include at least one of the following: short circuit faults, grounding faults, and phase imbalance faults at the generator side, bus section, inter-bus section connecting cable, and load feeder; as well as hidden faults, including protection device faults, input signal faults, protection device output faults, switch mechanical faults, and communication faults.

[0040] Specifically, the generator short-circuit fault protection function is divided into differential protection, directional protection and non-directional protection; the generator ground fault protection function is divided into directional protection, non-directional protection and residual voltage protection; the generator phase imbalance fault protection is negative sequence inverse time protection.

[0041] Busbar short-circuit fault protection functions are divided into differential protection, directional protection and non-directional protection; busbar grounding fault protection functions are divided into directional protection, non-directional protection and residual voltage protection; busbar phase imbalance fault protection includes negative sequence inverse time protection.

[0042] The inter-busbar cable short-circuit fault protection function is divided into differential protection, directional protection and non-directional protection; the inter-busbar cable grounding fault protection function is divided into directional protection, non-directional protection and residual voltage protection; the inter-busbar cable phase imbalance fault protection includes negative sequence inverse time protection.

[0043] The load short-circuit fault protection function is divided into directional protection and non-directional protection; the load ground fault protection function is divided into directional protection and non-directional protection; the load phase imbalance fault protection includes negative sequence inverse time protection.

[0044] In some embodiments, the method for determining the location of a fault includes: If the current signal detected by the generator protection and control device is abnormal, including if the current collected by the generator protection and control device exceeds the set value, and according to the phase judgment, the current collected by the current transformer on the generator side is opposite to the current detected by the current transformer in the generator detection unit, or the fault current direction is pointing towards the generator set, then the fault location is at the generator. If the load protection and control device detects an abnormal current signal, including if the current detected by the load protection and control device exceeds the set value, and the fault current direction is pointed towards the load according to the phase judgment, then the fault location is at the load feeder. When the current signal detected by the bus protection and control devices at both ends of the bus section is abnormal, including when the current detected by the bus protection and control devices exceeds the set value, and the fault current detected at both ends of the bus section points to the bus section according to the phase judgment, the fault location is the bus section between the two bus protection and control devices. When the bus protection and control devices at both ends of the cable detect abnormal current signals, including when the collected current exceeds the set value and, based on phase judgment, the current directions of the current transformers configured on both sides of the cable are opposite, or when the fault current detected on both sides of the cable points to the cable, the fault location is the cable.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, when a short circuit fault occurs at the generator feeder, the first stage of protection is differential protection. Each generator signal acquisition unit acquires the current signal detected by the current transformer on the corresponding generator side and the current signal detected by the corresponding generator detection unit. The generator control unit processes the two sets of current signals received. If the vector sum of the two sets of current signals is not zero, the generator control unit controls the generator feeder switch to open. If the corresponding generator feeder switch fails to operate at this time, meaning it remains closed, it indicates the fault still exists, suggesting a hidden fault. This triggers the second stage of protection, which is bus directional protection. The current transformers at both ends of the current distribution board detect the current value and phase of this node. The bus detection unit inputs the detected current value and phase to the bus control unit for processing. If the current collected by the current transformers at both ends of the current distribution board exceeds the set value, and the current direction, based on the phase, points towards the faulty generator set, the bus switches on both sides of the distribution board open at time T1, and the generator feeder switches of all generator sets on the current distribution board open at time T3. Here, the set value is the first set value, which is 1.5 to 1.8 times the rated current value of the bus switch. If the bus switch fails to operate at this time, it indicates a hidden fault, triggering the third level of protection. The third layer of protection is non-directional. If the current value collected by the bus detection units on both sides of the distribution board exceeds the set value, all bus switches in the ring network will non-directionally disconnect at T2 seconds. The generator feeder switches of the faulty generator sets will disconnect, while the generator feeder switches of the remaining generator sets will close and operate normally. The set value here is the second set value, which is 1.2 to 1.5 times the rated current value of the bus switch. The set value can also be precisely checked and corrected based on the selective analysis simulation calculation results of the actual system.

[0046] When a short-circuit fault occurs on the busbar, the first stage of protection is initiated. This first stage is differential protection. The busbar protection and control device on each distribution board detects the current in the current transformers at the busbar inlet and feeder on that distribution board. If the vector sum of these currents exceeds a limit, the busbar switches at both ends of the current distribution board busbar immediately disconnect. All generator feeder switches on the current distribution board busbar disconnect non-directionally at T3 seconds. This limit is determined through short-circuit current calculation. The current transformer current at the busbar inlet and feeder represents the current value flowing into the busbar detected by the generator protection and control device of each generator set on the busbar section, and the current value flowing into the load detected by the load protection and control device. Specifically, the generator protection and control device and the load protection and control device transmit the detected currents together to the busbar protection and control device for vector calculation and comparison. If, at this time, the corresponding busbar switch and generator feeder switch fail to operate, and the fault still exists (e.g., the short-circuit current in the busbar still exists), then a hidden fault is identified, and the second stage of protection is initiated. The second stage is for directional bus protection. The bus protection monitoring and control device on the distribution board connected to the current distribution board collects the current and phase of the current transformer at the connection point with the current distribution board. If the collected current exceeds the set value and the current direction points towards the current distribution board, the two bus switches connected to the bus switches on the current distribution board will disconnect at time T1. The generator feeder switches of all generator sets on the current distribution board will disconnect non-directionally at time T3. Here, the set value is the first set value, which is 1.5 to 1.8 times the rated current value of the bus switch. If any of the switches to be disconnected in the second stage fails to operate and the fault still exists, it is determined that there is a hidden fault, and the third layer of protection is entered. The third layer of protection is non-directional. The bus protection monitoring and control device on the current distribution board connected to the current distribution board collects the current from the current transformer at the connection point. If the collected current exceeds the set value (here, the set value is the second set value, which is 1.2 to 1.5 times the rated current of the bus switch), then all bus switches in the ring network will non-directionally disconnect at time T2, and all generator feeder switches on the faulty bus section will non-directionally disconnect at time T3. To prevent short circuits in the faulty bus section from causing malfunctions in other bus switches, a circuit breaker interlocking function must be implemented.

[0047] When a short-circuit fault occurs in the cable between distribution boards, the first stage of protection is differential protection. It detects the current in the current transformers within the bus protection control devices on both sides of the cable. If the differential current vector sum of the two detected currents is not zero, the bus switches on both sides of the cable immediately disconnect. If the switches fail to operate and the fault persists, a hidden fault is identified, and the second layer of protection is initiated. The second layer of protection is cable directional protection. The current transformers within the bus protection control devices on both sides of the cable collect the current and phase data. If the collected current exceeds the set value and the current direction points towards the cable connecting the distribution boards, the bus switches at both ends of the cable between the distribution boards disconnect at time T1. Here, the set value is the first set value, which is 1.5 to 1.8 times the rated current of the bus switch. If the bus switch fails to operate at this time, a hidden fault is identified, and the third layer of protection is initiated. The third layer of protection is non-directional protection. The current transformers in the bus protection monitoring and control devices at the distribution boards on both sides of the cable collect the current transformer current. If the collected current exceeds the setting value, all bus switches in the ring network will be non-directionally disconnected at T2 seconds. The setting value here is the second setting value, which is 1.2 to 1.5 times the rated current value of the bus switch.

[0048] When a short-circuit fault occurs at the load feeder connected to the busbar, the first stage of protection is directional protection. The load protection monitoring and control device collects the feeder current. If the collected current exceeds the set value, the load feeder switch opens at T4 seconds and the busbar switch on the distribution board where the load is located is locked. This keeps the busbar switch closed and prevents erroneous opening. The set value here is the third set value, which is more than 1.8 times the rated current value of the load feeder switch. If the load feeder switch fails to operate and the fault still exists, it is determined that there is a hidden fault, and the second stage of protection is initiated. The second stage of protection is busbar directional protection. After T4 seconds, the busbar switch lockout is canceled via pulse. The bus protection and control devices on both sides of the busbar section where the load is located detect the current and phase of the current transformers on both sides of the busbar section. If the current value at the busbar switches on both sides of the busbar section exceeds the set value, the directional protection of the busbar switches at both ends of the busbar section where the load is located will immediately disconnect, and all generator feeder switches on that busbar section will disconnect non-directionally at T3 seconds. Here, the set value is the first set value, which is 1.5 to 1.8 times the rated current value of the busbar switch. If a hidden fault is detected, the third stage of protection will be entered. The third stage of protection is non-directional protection. The bus protection and control devices on both sides of the busbar section where the load is located detect the current of the current transformers at the busbar switches on both sides of the busbar section. If the current transformer current exceeds the set value, all busbar switches in the ring network will disconnect non-directionally at T2 seconds, and all generator feeder switches on that busbar section will disconnect non-directionally at T3 seconds. Here, the set value is the second set value, which is 1.2 to 1.5 times the rated current value of the busbar switch.

[0049] The generator, busbar section, inter-busbar cable, load-side short-circuit fault protection, and hidden fault protection are configured with multi-layered main and backup protection, enabling fault clearing within 1 second at the latest. T1 <T4<T2<T3≤1s。

[0050] like Figure 6As shown, when a ground fault occurs at the generator feeder, the first stage of protection is generator directional protection. Each generator signal acquisition unit collects the generator leakage current transformer signal and detects the zero-sequence current. If the collected current value exceeds the set current value, the corresponding generator feeder switch is directionally disconnected within T5 seconds, and the generator is de-energized. The set value here is the fourth set value, which is 1.3-1.5 times the rated current value of the generator feeder switch. If the switch fails to operate and the fault still exists, it is determined that there is a hidden fault, and the second stage of protection is initiated. The second stage of protection is bus directional protection. The current transformers at both ends of the current distribution board collect the leakage current transformer signal and detect the zero-sequence current. If the collected current exceeds the set value, the bus switches on both sides of the distribution board are directionally disconnected within T6 seconds. The set value here is the fifth set value, which is 1.2-1.3 times the rated current value of the bus switch. The voltage transformer signal acquired by the generator signal acquisition unit is detected at this time. If the acquired voltage value exceeds the set value, the generator feeder switch connected to the faulty generator will trip the ROV residual voltage protection at T8 seconds. The set value here is the sixth set value, which is below 90% of the generator's rated voltage. In this embodiment, it is preferably 50%-90% of the generator's rated voltage. If the bus switches on both sides of the distribution board fail to operate and the fault still exists, it is determined that there is a hidden fault, and the third stage of non-directional protection is entered. The current transformers at both ends of the current distribution board acquire the leakage current transformer signal. If the acquired current exceeds the set value, all bus switches in the ring network will be non-directionally disconnected at T7 seconds. The set value here is the seventh set value, which is 1.1-1.2 times the rated current value of the bus switch. The voltage inductance signal collected by the generator protection and control device corresponding to the faulty generator is detected.

The second stage of protection is non-directional. The bus protection and control devices on both sides of the bus section collect signals from the current transformers and detect the zero-sequence current. If the collected current exceeds the set value, all bus switches in the ring network will non-directionally disconnect at T7 seconds. The set value here is the seventh set value, which is 1.1-1.2 times the rated current value of the bus switch. All generator signal acquisition units on the currently faulty bus section collect signals from the voltage transformers.

If the busbar switches on both sides of the connecting cable fail to operate and the fault still exists, it is determined that there is a hidden fault, and the second stage of protection is initiated. The second stage of protection is non-directional protection. The busbar detection units on both sides of the connecting cable collect current transformer signals. If the collected current exceeds the set value, all busbar switches in the ring network will non-directionally disconnect at T7 seconds.

[0053] When a ground fault occurs on the load feeder, the first stage of protection is activated. This first stage is load directional protection. The load protection monitoring and control device corresponding to the faulty load collects the leakage current transformer signal. If the collected current exceeds the set value, the load feeder switch corresponding to the faulty load will directionally disconnect at T5 seconds. This set value is the fourth set value, which is 1.3-1.5 times the rated current value of the generator feeder switch. If the load feeder switch fails to operate and the fault still exists, it is determined that there is a hidden fault, and the second stage of protection is activated. The second stage of protection is bus directional protection. After the load-side directional protection disconnection time has expired, the bus switch lockout is canceled via pulse. The bus detection units on both sides of the bus section where the faulty load is located collect the current transformer signal. If the collected current exceeds the set value, the bus switches at both ends of that bus section will directionally disconnect at T6 seconds. This set value is the fifth set value, which is 1.2-1.3 times the rated current value of the bus switch.

[0054] The generator, busbar section, cable between busbar sections, load-side grounding fault protection, and hidden fault protection are configured with multi-layer protection of main and backup protection, which can clear faults within 2 seconds at the latest. T5 <T6<T7<T8≤2s。

[0055] like Figure 7As shown, when a phase imbalance fault occurs on the generator side, the first stage of protection is initiated. This first stage is generator negative sequence inverse time protection. The generator protection and control device detects a negative sequence overcurrent and triggers the negative sequence inverse time protection, causing the generator feeder switch to open. Based on the time and current values, if the generator feeder switch has not opened by the required time, the second stage of protection is initiated. In this stage, the corresponding table of negative sequence current and opening time is used to determine whether the generator feeder switch has reached the required opening time but has not opened. The second stage of protection is negative sequence inverse time protection at the bus section. The bus protection and control device at both ends of the bus section detects a negative sequence overcurrent and triggers the negative sequence inverse time protection, causing the bus switches at both ends of the bus section to open.

[0056] When a phase imbalance fault occurs in a bus section, the first stage of protection is activated. The first stage of protection is negative sequence inverse time protection at the bus section. The bus protection and control devices at both ends of the bus section detect negative sequence overcurrent and trigger negative sequence inverse time protection, controlling the disconnection of the bus switch at one end of the bus section. When the bus protection and control device on the bus section detects negative sequence overcurrent, the second stage of protection is activated, controlling the disconnection of the bus switch at the other end of the current bus section.

[0057] When a phase imbalance fault occurs in the cable between busbar sections, the first stage of protection is activated. The first layer of protection is negative sequence inverse time protection at the busbar section. When the busbar protection and control device at both ends of the cable between the busbar sections detects negative sequence overcurrent, it triggers negative sequence inverse time protection and controls the disconnection of the busbar switch at one end of the cable. When the busbar protection and control device at both ends of the cable detects negative sequence overcurrent, the second stage of protection is activated, and the busbar switch at the other end of the current cable is disconnected.

[0058] When a phase imbalance fault occurs at the load end, the first stage of protection is initiated. The first layer of protection is the load negative sequence inverse time protection. The load detection unit detects the negative sequence overcurrent and triggers the negative sequence inverse time protection, which controls the disconnection of the load feeder switch. The second stage of protection is the bus section negative sequence inverse time protection. The bus protection and control devices at both ends of the bus section where the load is located detect the negative sequence overcurrent and trigger the negative sequence inverse time protection, which disconnects the bus switches at both ends of the bus section.
