Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the installed capacity of inverter-interfaced renewable energy sources (IIRESs), represented by direct-drive wind farms and photovoltaic power plants, has grown rapidly. After IIRESs are connected to the grid via converters, their fault current characteristics differ significantly from those of traditional synchronous generators: the fault current amplitude is limited and the phase is controlled, leading to performance degradation and even maloperation of traditional protection schemes (such as distance protection and differential current protection). Existing frequency domain methods (such as transient analysis based on Fourier transform) have strong noise immunity but are easily affected by attenuated DC components; time domain methods (such as protection based on waveform similarity or geometric distance) have low computational burden but are easily affected by non-ideal conditions such as CT saturation and synchronization errors. Therefore, a new protection principle that can adapt to the fault characteristics of IIRESs and has good robustness to non-ideal conditions is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0046] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a method for protecting transmission lines of new energy power plants based on cumulative difference coefficients, comprising the following steps:
[0047] Step 1: As Figure 2 Discrete current sample values at both ends of the line (new energy power plant side and grid side) are obtained through current transformers to construct a time-domain current sequence i. c and i g The window length is set to 10 ms (corresponding to half a power frequency cycle); the current sampling sequence i c and i g The formula is as follows:
[0048] (1)
[0049] In the formula, n represents the number of sampling points within a 10ms data window.
[0050] Step Two: As Figure 1 The maximum amplitude of the current on the renewable energy power plant side and the grid side within one cycle is detected based on discrete current sampling values, and denoted as i respectively. cm i gm Let i be the smaller of the two values. min The larger amplitude is denoted as i. max The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0051] (2)
[0052] (3)
[0053] In the formula, i cmax i cmin i gmax i gmin These are the positive and negative extreme points of the current on the new energy power station side and the positive and negative extreme points of the current on the grid side.
[0054] Step 3: As Figure 1 Calculate the instantaneous differential current i op (k) and braking current i res (k), the specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0055] (4)
[0056] (5)
[0057] Step Four: As Figure 1 Based on instantaneous differential current i op (k) and braking current i res σ(k) is the discriminant factor. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0058] (6)
[0059] Let the window average of σ(k) be denoted as The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0060] (7)
[0061] Step 5: As Figure 1 Statistics within a period The proportion of values exceeding the threshold of 0.25 is denoted as σ. p ;
[0062] Step Six: As Figure 1 For instantaneous braking current i res (k) is updated to obtain i res2 (k), the specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0063] (8)
[0064] Step Seven: As Figure 1 Based on the updated braking current i res2 (k) and differential current i op (k) Calculate the cumulative difference coefficient (IADI). If the IADI exceeds the action threshold of 0.5, it is determined to be an intra-zone fault, and a trip signal is sent; otherwise, no action is taken. The entire process requires no phasor calculations, only time-domain operations. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0065] (9)
[0066] (10)
[0067] (11)
[0068] In the formula: H(x) is a step function, when the differential current i op (k) is greater than i res2When (k), the IADI value increases. Taking a phase-A ground fault as an example, the operation of traditional current differential protection and the proposed solution are compared in terms of...
[0069] The simulation results were compared and verified using a PSCAD model integrated with IIRES, with all other parameters being exactly the same. Figure 3 As shown.
[0070] from Figure 3 As can be seen in (a), this describes the operation of a traditional current differential protection system:
[0071] Waveform characteristics: After a phase A ground fault occurs, the differential current and braking current waveforms of traditional current differential protection have significant overlap or fluctuations, the action quantity increases slowly, and it fails to stably exceed the action threshold value for a period of time.
[0072] Action delay: Because the fault current amplitude of inverter-type renewable energy sources (IIRESs) is limited and the phase is controlled, traditional protection methods have difficulty quickly identifying fault characteristics, resulting in a long action time and even the risk of failure to operate or misjudgment.
[0073] Poor robustness: In the early stages of a fault, the traditional method's action fluctuates greatly due to factors such as current transformer saturation and noise, resulting in poor stability.
[0074] from Figure 3 As can be seen in (b), the operation of the protection scheme proposed in this invention is as follows:
[0075] Waveform characteristics: Under the same fault conditions, the differential current waveform of the present invention and the updated braking current waveform are quickly separated, and the action quantity IADI rises rapidly and stabilizes above the action threshold value.
[0076] Rapid response: The IADI exceeds the preset threshold within 3-5ms after a fault occurs, indicating that the present invention can quickly and accurately identify faults within the area.
[0077] Strong robustness: Even in the early stage of the fault, the IADI waveform still rises smoothly and stably, indicating that the method of the present invention has good suppression ability for non-ideal conditions such as CT saturation and noise.

[0084] The braking current update module is used to update the braking current based on the statistical ratio σ. p For braking current i res (k) Perform dynamic updates to obtain the updated braking current i res2 (k);
[0085] The fault diagnosis module is used to determine the fault based on the differential current i. op (k) and the updated braking current i res2 (k) The magnitude of the action quantity IADI is calculated. If the action quantity IADI is greater than the preset action threshold value, it is determined to be an internal fault and a trip signal is sent. Otherwise, it is determined to be an external fault and no trip signal is sent.

[0087] (1) Adapting to the fault characteristics of new energy power plants: This invention directly obtains the discrete current value in the time domain through the current sampling module, avoiding the phasor calculation in the traditional frequency domain method. It can effectively cope with the characteristics of limited current amplitude and phase control of inverter-type new energy power supply faults, and solves the problem of failure to operate that may occur due to the weakening of fault characteristics in traditional longitudinal protection.
[0088] (2) Strong anti-interference capability: Through the collaborative work of the extreme value detection module, the discriminant factor calculation module and the proportional statistics module, the present invention dynamically adjusts the protection strategy based on the proportion of the discriminant factor window average value exceeding the threshold. It can effectively overcome the negative impact of non-ideal conditions such as current transformer saturation, synchronization error, measurement error, abnormal data and noise, and has good robustness.
[0089] (3) Adaptive braking characteristics: The present invention uses a braking current update module to dynamically update the instantaneous braking current based on the proportional statistics results, so that the braking current can adaptively track the changes in the system operating status, ensuring the sensitivity of faults within the zone while effectively preventing false tripping due to faults outside the zone.
[0090] (4) Fast and accurate fault identification: The present invention calculates the action quantity IADI based on the relationship between the differential current and the updated braking current through the fault identification module. The action time is only 3-5ms, which can quickly and accurately identify faults inside and outside the zone under various fault types, high transition resistance and different system configurations.
[0091] (5) Strong engineering applicability: The present invention has low requirements for sampling frequency, low computational burden, and is easy to implement in existing protection devices. It can significantly improve the reliability of line protection after the access of new energy power stations and has broad engineering application prospects.
