Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of relay protection technology, and in particular to a method for identifying inrush current in large-scale wind farm transmission transformers based on high-frequency components and its application. Background Technology

[0002] If an internal fault occurs in the power transmission transformer of a large-scale wind farm, the internal fault and inrush current can be identified quickly and accurately, which can prevent protection malfunctions caused by inrush current and thus improve the reliability of power system operation.

[0003] In traditional transformer protection, second harmonic suppression elements primarily rely on detecting the content of the second harmonic. When the second harmonic content exceeds a threshold, it is identified as an inrush current. However, in large-scale wind farm systems, the second harmonic content is significantly higher than in traditional power grids. Furthermore, in the event of a fault, the short-circuit current in the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) cannot be accurately identified by traditional second harmonic suppression elements for both internal transformer faults and inrush currents.

[0004] In view of this, this application proposes a new method for identifying inrush current of the sending transformer in a large-scale wind farm, aiming to achieve reliable identification of transformer inrush current. Summary of the Invention

While exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0037] First Embodiment

[0038] Reference Figure 1This embodiment provides a method for identifying inrush current in large-scale wind farm transmission transformers based on high-frequency components. The method includes the following steps:

[0039] S10, when a differential current amplitude greater than a preset threshold is detected, Parker transformation is performed on the transient current collected on both sides of the output transformer to obtain the d-axis component and the q-axis component.

[0040] In this embodiment, firstly, transient currents on both sides of the output transformer are collected, differential current is calculated, and then it is determined whether the amplitude of differential current exceeds the limit. If so, the criterion for inrush current identification is activated, that is, Park transformation is performed on the transient currents collected on both sides of the output transformer to obtain the d-axis component and q-axis component.

[0041] In some optional implementations, it is determined whether the differential current is greater than a threshold. If it is greater than the threshold, the criterion is activated; otherwise, the criterion is not activated. The criterion is:

[0042]

[0043] In the formula, For differential current, The threshold value is used.

[0044] Alternatively, the transformation matrix of the Park transform is:

[0045]

[0046] In the formula, a, b, c represent the stationary coordinate system of phases a, b, and c; d, q represent the rotating coordinate system. Indicates the rotation angle.

[0047] It should be noted that the transient current is converted into d-axis and q-axis components through the Parker transformation matrix, and its form is as follows:

[0048]

[0049] In the formula, i d i q i and i0 represent the d-axis component, q-axis component, and zero-sequence component after transformation by the Parker transformation matrix, respectively; i a i b i c These represent phases A, B, and C of the transient current, respectively.

[0050] S20, determine the high-frequency component based on the d-axis component and the q-axis component, and determine whether the maximum value of the high-frequency component is zero;

[0051] In this embodiment, the high-frequency component is calculated based on the obtained d-axis and q-axis components, and the high-frequency component is used as a criterion for inrush current identification.

[0052] It should be noted that the principle behind this distinction is as follows: When an internal fault occurs in a transformer, the differential current waveform contains high-frequency transients generated by the fault. Under inrush current conditions, the transformer differential current mainly contains second and third harmonics, but does not contain high-frequency transients. However, by using the Parker transform to transform the three-phase circuit into a rotating coordinate system, the power frequency component of the pre-fault steady-state waveform is filtered out after the Parker transform, making the transients more apparent.

[0053] Based on this principle, after an internal fault occurs in a transformer, the value of the high-frequency component generated by the fault in the differential current waveform should be significantly greater than 0. When an inrush current occurs, the differential current waveform only contains harmonics generated by the inrush current, and the high-frequency component generated by the fault tends to be 0. Therefore, the transformer fault and the inrush current can be distinguished based on the magnitude of the maximum value of the high-frequency component.

[0054] Optionally, d-axis components are set. q-axis components The high-frequency components are The steps for determining high-frequency components include:

[0055] S21, squaring the d-axis and q-axis components and then summing them, yields... ;

[0056] Specifically, .

[0057] S22, for The high-frequency components are obtained by performing wavelet transform.

[0058] Specifically, the expression for the high-frequency components is:

[0059]

[0060] In the formula, h[np] is the shift coefficient of the wavelet high-pass filter, p is the p-th sampling point, and N is the number of sampling points within the time window.

[0061] If S30 is true, then it is determined that an inrush current has occurred.

[0062] In this embodiment, if the high-frequency component is determined... If the maximum value is 0, it is determined that an inrush current has occurred in the sending transformer.

[0063] Optionally, when an inrush current is detected, a blocking protection is implemented.

[0064] Furthermore, and optionally, if the maximum value of the high-frequency component is not zero, then it is determined that the transmitting transformer has an internal fault.

[0065] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, when a differential current amplitude greater than a preset threshold is detected, the three-phase circuit is transformed to a rotating coordinate system using Parker transformation. This filters out the power frequency component in the steady-state waveform before the fault, ensuring that the differential current waveform only contains harmonics generated by inrush current. High-frequency components are used as the criterion; when the maximum value of the high-frequency component is zero, it is determined that an inrush current has occurred.

[0066] Furthermore, as an implementation scheme, this application also relates to an application of the above-described method for identifying inrush current in large-scale wind farm power transmission transformers based on high-frequency components in the identification of inrush current.

[0067] The following examples illustrate the application of the method involved in this embodiment in the identification of inrush current.

[0068] Example 1, see below Figure 2 The simulation model of the wind farm grid-connected system shown in this example has a total installed capacity of 200MW. The low voltage ride-through methods for the wind turbines are divided into two types: crowbar operation and continuous excitation by the frequency converter. The voltage level is 220kV. The simulation also includes scenarios of inrush current at the sending transformer and a phase-A ground fault on the high-voltage side of the transformer. The sampling rate is 10kHz.

[0069] Reference by Figure 3 and Figure 4 The graphs shown are the high-frequency component variation curves under inrush current and phase A ground fault on the high-voltage side of the transformer. It can be seen that the high-frequency component of the differential current is smaller under inrush current and larger under phase A ground fault, consistent with the principle described in this invention. Based on the calculated Dmax, it can be determined that Dmax equals 0.00007 under inrush current, approaching 0, with the integer part being 0, thus blocking protection. Under phase A ground fault, Dmax is 536, not equal to 0, thus triggering protection. Therefore, this method can accurately determine inrush current.

[0070] Example 2, also refer to... Figure 2 The simulation model of the wind farm grid-connected system shown in this example has a total installed capacity of 200MW. The low-voltage ride-through methods for the wind turbines are divided into two types: crowbar activation and continuous excitation by the frequency converter. The voltage level is 220kV. The fault is set to occur on the high-voltage side of the sending transformer, and the fault types are two-phase BC short-circuit fault and two-phase BC short-circuit fault with a transition resistance of 200Ω. The sampling rate is 10kHz.

[0071] Reference by Figure 5 The diagram shows the high-frequency component variation curves under a two-phase (BC) short-circuit fault on the high-voltage side of the transmitting transformer, and... Figure 6The diagram shows the high-frequency component variation curves under a two-phase (BC) short circuit fault with a transition resistance of 200Ω on the high-voltage side of the transmitting transformer. It can be seen that the high-frequency component of the differential current is larger under a two-phase (BC) short circuit fault, and also larger under a phase-A ground fault, which is consistent with the principle described in this invention. Based on the calculated Dmax, it can be determined that Dmax equals 4765 (not 0) under a two-phase (BC) short circuit fault, indicating protection activation; and Dmax equals 2126 (not 0) under a two-phase (BC) short circuit fault with a transition resistance of 200Ω, also indicating protection activation. Therefore, this method can accurately identify internal faults.
