Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of power system protection, and in particular to a fault identification method, device, equipment and medium for a flexible DC AC incoming line. Background Technology
[0002] With the expansion of new energy grid integration, flexible DC transmission systems are increasingly widely used in power grids. Flexible DC systems are typically connected to the AC grid via AC incoming lines, and AC-side faults directly affect the converter's operating status and the stability of the DC system. Especially under asymmetrical fault conditions such as single-phase grounding, the system current and voltage exhibit significant transient changes. Failure to quickly and accurately identify AC incoming line faults in flexible DC systems may lead to converter shutdown, power fluctuations, or even system instability. Therefore, researching AC incoming line fault identification methods suitable for the characteristics of flexible DC systems is of significant engineering importance.
[0003] However, existing flexible DC AC incoming line protection methods have significant limitations in practical applications. On the one hand, current differential protection relies on communication channels, resulting in high construction costs and susceptibility to synchronization errors and delays, leading to poor accuracy in fault identification. On the other hand, the control strategy of flexible DC converters limits the amplitude of fault currents and alters negative-sequence impedance characteristics, causing the amplitude and phase relationship of the fault current to deviate from the fault distribution patterns of traditional power systems. This leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of differential protection, distance protection, and overcurrent protection based on measured characteristics, or even maloperation, thus affecting the accuracy of final fault identification. Furthermore, the zero-sequence component introduced by the modulation strategy also interferes with the accuracy of ground fault detection. Therefore, improving the accuracy of fault identification for flexible DC AC incoming lines has become a core technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides a fault identification method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for flexible DC AC incoming lines, which can solve the problem of low accuracy in fault identification of flexible DC AC incoming lines in the prior art.
[0005] Some embodiments of this application provide a fault identification method for flexible DC AC input lines, including: The equivalent circuits of the flexible DC system under different modes are topologically connected according to the boundary conditions of a single-phase ground fault to construct a multi-mode equivalent network model. By applying fault excitation to a preset fault point in the multi-mode equivalent network model, the theoretical current response of the preset protection installation location under the fault excitation is calculated based on the multi-mode equivalent network model, and theoretical transient characteristic values are extracted from the theoretical current response. The modes include a first line mode, a second line mode, and a zero mode. The electrical signals of the flexible DC system at the preset protection installation location are collected in real time. When the electrical signals are detected to meet the preset start-up conditions, the actual transient characteristic values are extracted from the actual current response in the electrical signals. The actual transient characteristic value is compared with the theoretical transient characteristic value to obtain the comparison result, and the fault of the flexible DC AC input line is identified based on the comparison result.
[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the above embodiments have the following beneficial effects: This application constructs a multi-mode equivalent network model by connecting the equivalent circuits of the flexible DC system under different modes such as the first-line mode, the second-line mode, and the zero-mode according to the single-phase grounding fault boundary conditions. This allows for a complete characterization of the modal coupling relationship of the system under fault conditions, accurately reflecting the transient response mechanism of the flexible DC system under a single-phase grounding fault from a theoretical perspective. Based on this, by applying fault excitation at a preset fault point to calculate the theoretical current response at the protection installation location and extracting theoretical transient characteristic values, a fault theoretical characteristic benchmark consistent with the system's physical characteristics is established. Furthermore, after a fault occurs, the transient characteristic values of the actual current response are extracted and compared with the theoretical transient characteristic values. Since the comparison objects are derived from theoretical calculations under the same system structure and the same fault boundary conditions, the impact of the converter control strategy on the fault current amplitude limitation and phase change can be effectively reduced, improving the accuracy of identifying asymmetrical faults such as single-phase grounding, thereby enhancing the reliability of flexible DC AC incoming line fault identification. This approach can effectively overcome the influence of the flexible DC converter control strategy on the amplitude and phase relationship of the fault current, reduce the risk of misjudgment caused by zero-sequence interference introduced by the modulation strategy, and thus significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of flexible DC AC incoming line fault identification.
[0007] Furthermore, the step of connecting the equivalent circuits of the flexible DC system in different modes according to the boundary conditions of a single-phase ground fault to construct a multi-mode equivalent network model includes: Using the trapezoidal integral method, each power element from the AC side to the DC side of the flexible DC system is discretized to obtain the equivalent circuit of Begeron circuit under different modes corresponding to each power element. Based on the physical topology of the flexible DC system, the various Begeron equivalent circuits under the same mode are interconnected to form a primary network model under each mode. The primary network models under each mode are connected in series at the preset fault point according to the boundary conditions to obtain the multimodal equivalent network model.
[0008] Compared to existing technologies, the above embodiments have the following advantages: By employing the trapezoidal integral method to discretize each power component from the AC side to the DC side and establishing a Bergeron equivalent model, the continuous system is transformed into a recursively computeable discrete network model, thereby ensuring the numerical stability and accuracy of transient process calculations. Furthermore, the equivalent model is projected onto the modal domain space using the Kelenberg transformation, and primary network models for each mode are constructed according to the physical topology, allowing the electrical characteristics of the system under different modes to be decomposed and expressed. Finally, the modal networks are connected in series according to the single-phase ground fault boundary conditions, accurately reflecting the coupling relationships between multiple modes under fault conditions. This improves the accuracy of fault modeling, provides a reliable foundation for subsequent theoretical current response calculations, and enhances fault identification accuracy from the source.
[0009] Further, the primary network model includes: a first primary network model corresponding to the first linear mode, a second primary network model corresponding to the second linear mode, and a third primary network model corresponding to the zero mode; the step of connecting the primary network models under each mode in series at the preset fault point according to the boundary conditions to obtain the multimodal equivalent network model includes: By using the Kelvin transform, the boundary conditions are transformed to the modal domain to obtain the modal domain boundary conditions of the fault point in different modes. Based on the modal boundary conditions where the fault point is located in different modes, the outflow end of the first primary network model is connected to the inflow end of the second primary network model, and the outflow end of the second primary network model is connected to the inflow end of the third primary network model to obtain the multimodal equivalent network model.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the above embodiments have the following advantages: By transforming the boundary conditions to the mode domain space and sequentially connecting the primary network models corresponding to the first line mode, the second line mode, and the zero mode in the mode domain, the constraint relationships of single-phase grounding faults in different modes are clearly expressed. This method avoids the complex coupling errors caused by direct coupling in the phase domain, makes the modal voltage and current relationships at the fault point clearer, and is conducive to accurately characterizing the modal component change features caused by the fault, thereby improving the expression accuracy of the multimodal equivalent network model under single-phase grounding fault conditions and enhancing the accuracy of subsequent theoretical response calculations.
[0011] Further, the step of applying a fault excitation at a preset fault point in the multimodal equivalent network model and calculating the theoretical current response at the preset protection installation location under the fault excitation based on the multimodal equivalent network model includes: In the multimodal equivalent network model, fault excitations corresponding to single-phase grounding faults are injected into each of the preset fault points to form fault excitation conditions. Under the fault excitation condition, the node voltage equations of each node in the first primary network model are established, and the node voltage equations are solved by recursive calculation to obtain the voltage values of each node at each time. Obtain the Beerleon equivalent parameters of each branch in the first primary network model, and calculate the theoretical current value of the branch where the protection installation is located at each time based on the voltage values of each node and the Beerleon equivalent parameters of the branch where the node is located, so as to obtain the theoretical current response.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the above embodiments have the following advantages: After applying fault excitation to the multimodal equivalent network model, the node voltage equations of the first primary network model are first established, and the node voltages are solved recursively based on the discretized Bergeron equivalence relation. Then, the theoretical current value at the protection installation location is calculated based on the branch parameters, so that the calculation of the theoretical current response follows a clear voltage-current physical derivation path. This method avoids the errors that may be caused by directly approximating the current calculation, can accurately reflect the voltage and current coupling relationship in the fault transient propagation process, improves the accuracy of the theoretical current response calculation, and thus provides a reliable basis for accurately extracting theoretical transient characteristics.
[0013] Further, the extraction of theoretical transient characteristic values from the theoretical current response includes: By sampling from the theoretical current response at a preset sampling frequency, the current component sequence of the first line mode is obtained; Perform continuous wavelet transform on the current component sequence to obtain the time-frequency diagram; The time-frequency graph is subjected to transient extraction transform to obtain the time-frequency spectrum; The theoretical wavefront count at several preset frequencies is extracted based on the time spectrum, and the average of the theoretical wavefront count is used as the theoretical transient characteristic value.
[0014] Compared to existing technologies, the above embodiments have the following advantages: By performing continuous wavelet transform on the theoretical current response, time-frequency distribution characteristics are obtained, and the number of wavefronts at a specific frequency is identified through transient extraction transform, enabling the theoretical transient characteristic values to reflect the high-frequency transient change patterns in the initial stage of a fault. Compared to relying solely on amplitude or phasor characteristics, this method can extract more sensitive transient information, improve the identification capability of asymmetrical faults such as single-phase grounding, and thus enhance the matching accuracy of theoretical characteristics with actual fault characteristics.
[0015] Further, the electrical signal includes: a first three-phase voltage signal; the detection that the electrical signal meets the preset start-up conditions includes: The first three-phase voltage signal is divided into two second three-phase voltage signals. The zero-mode voltage change signal is obtained based on the difference between the two second three-phase voltage signals. The zero-mode voltage abrupt change signal is processed by exponential weighted moving average to obtain the zero-mode voltage characteristic value at the current detection time; When the zero-mode voltage characteristic value is greater than or equal to the preset start-up threshold, the electrical signal is determined to meet the preset start-up conditions.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the above embodiments have the following advantages: By decomposing the three-phase voltage signal and constructing a zero-mode voltage mutation signal, and using exponential weighted moving average processing to obtain the zero-mode voltage characteristic value, the start-up criterion pays more attention to the mutation information in the initial stage of the fault, while suppressing random fluctuations and non-fault interference components introduced by the modulation strategy. This method can improve the stability of the start-up judgment while ensuring sensitivity, avoid false triggering or missed triggering, and provide a reliable premise for accurately obtaining the actual current response.
[0017] Further, the extraction of actual transient characteristic values from the actual current response includes: Using the Kelenberger transform, the actual current response is converted to the mode domain. The first line mode current signal corresponding to the first line mode and the second line mode is obtained from the converted actual current response. Based on the two first line mode current signals, the second line mode current signal is obtained. The envelope signal is obtained by combining the Hilbert transform with the second line-mode current signal; The envelope signal is subjected to nonlinear combination operations by a preset nonlinear instantaneous operator to obtain an energy feature sequence that characterizes the instantaneous energy change of the signal. Based on a preset energy threshold, the number of effective wavefront mutation points in the energy feature sequence within a preset time window is identified, and the number is used as the actual transient feature value.
[0018] Compared to existing technologies, the above embodiments have the following advantages: By converting the actual current response to the mode domain and weighting and fusing the first line mode current, the modal components related to fault propagation can be enhanced, while irrelevant mode interference can be weakened. Furthermore, by obtaining the envelope signal through Hilbert transform and extracting energy mutation features using nonlinear instantaneous operators, the actual transient characteristic values can highlight wavefront mutation information. This processing improves the sensitivity of fault transient wavefront identification, helps to accurately count the number of effective wavefronts, thereby improving the reliability of comparing actual and theoretical characteristics, and further enhancing the accuracy of AC incoming line fault identification.
[0019] Another embodiment of this application provides a fault identification device for a flexible DC AC input line, including: a theoretical feature extraction module, an actual feature extraction module, and a fault identification module; The theoretical feature extraction module is used to connect the equivalent circuits of the flexible DC system under different modes according to the boundary conditions of a single-phase ground fault, construct a multi-mode equivalent network model, apply fault excitation to a preset fault point in the multi-mode equivalent network model, calculate the theoretical current response of the preset protection installation location under the fault excitation based on the multi-mode equivalent network model, and extract theoretical transient feature values from the theoretical current response; the modes include a first line mode, a second line mode, and a zero mode; The actual feature extraction module is used to collect electrical signals of the flexible DC system at a preset protection installation location in real time, and extract actual transient feature values from the actual current response in the electrical signal when the electrical signal is detected to meet the preset start-up conditions. The fault identification module is used to compare the actual transient characteristic value with the theoretical transient characteristic value, obtain the comparison result, and identify the fault of the flexible DC AC input line based on the comparison result.

[0031] Existing flexible DC AC incoming line protection methods have significant limitations in practical applications. On the one hand, current differential protection relies on communication channels, resulting in high construction costs and susceptibility to synchronization errors and delays, leading to poor accuracy in fault identification. On the other hand, the control strategy of flexible DC converters limits the amplitude of fault currents and alters negative-sequence impedance characteristics, causing the amplitude and phase relationship of the fault current to deviate from the fault distribution patterns of traditional power systems. This leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of differential protection, distance protection, and overcurrent protection based on measured characteristics, or even maloperation, thus affecting the accuracy of final fault identification. Furthermore, the zero-sequence component introduced by the modulation strategy also interferes with the accuracy of ground fault detection.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 To address the issue of low accuracy in fault identification of flexible DC AC input lines in existing technologies, this application provides a fault identification method for flexible DC AC input lines, applicable to, for example... Figure 2 The true bipolar flexible straight-line converter transformer AC side line shown is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the voltage and current signal measurement points for line MN are located at point M. In this embodiment, it is set... Always on the line f A phase A short-circuit ground fault (i.e., single-phase ground fault) occurred at location 1, where T1 is the first transformer, T2 is the second transformer, M0 is the local protection device for the flexible DC AC incoming line, and Z... s1 and Z s2 Let L1 be the power supply equivalent impedance of a 1-mode network, L1 be an inductor, and S be the power supply.
[0033] Furthermore, the fault identification method for a flexible DC AC input line provided in this application embodiment includes the following steps S101 to S103: S101: Connect the equivalent circuits of the flexible DC system under different modes according to the boundary conditions of a single-phase ground fault to construct a multi-mode equivalent network model. Apply fault excitation to a preset fault point in the multi-mode equivalent network model, calculate the theoretical current response of the preset protection installation location under the fault excitation based on the multi-mode equivalent network model, and extract the theoretical transient characteristic value from the theoretical current response. The modes include a first line mode, a second line mode, and a zero mode.
[0034] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the first line mode is a 1-mode, the second line mode is a 2-mode, and the zero mode is a 0-mode. The 1-mode, 2-mode, and 0-mode networks are network models of the flexible DC system or power components in their respective modes. For example, the 1-mode network of the flexible DC system is the first primary network model, the 2-mode network of the flexible DC system is the second primary network model, and the 0-mode network of the flexible DC system is the third primary network model.
[0035] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the step of connecting the equivalent circuits of the flexible DC system in different modes according to the boundary conditions of a single-phase ground fault to construct a multimodal equivalent network model includes: Using the trapezoidal integral method, each power element from the AC side to the DC side of the flexible DC system is discretized to obtain the equivalent circuit of Begeron circuit under different modes corresponding to each power element. Based on the physical topology of the flexible DC system, the various Begeron equivalent circuits under the same mode are interconnected to form a primary network model under each mode. The primary network models under each mode are connected in series at the preset fault point according to the boundary conditions to obtain the multimodal equivalent network model.
[0036] Preferably, in some embodiments of this application, the power components include: transformers, inductors, capacitors, lines, and other power components in the flexible DC system from the AC power supply to the DC line side. By performing equivalent calculations on each power component, the Bergeron equivalent circuits for each power component in the system are obtained.
[0037] Preferably, in some embodiments of this application, when constructing the Bergeron equivalent circuit of the transformer, according to the transformer's wiring method and physical characteristics, it is equivalent to a Bergeron equivalent circuit consisting of an equivalent conductance matrix and a historical equivalent current source connected in parallel under 1-mode, 2-mode, and 0-mode networks, respectively. The construction steps include the following T111 to T112: T111: Based on the transformer winding connection method (YNd) and magnetic circuit characteristics, determine the physical equivalent path for each mode. For mode 1 and mode 2 networks, both the primary and secondary sides of the transformer have paths, and the magnetic circuit coupling is tight. In transient calculations, the model is represented as the series coupling of the primary leakage inductance and the secondary equivalent leakage inductance. For the network corresponding to mode 0, based on the YNd connection characteristics, the primary neutral point is grounded, and there is a zero-sequence current path to ground. The secondary side is delta connected, with circulating current flowing internally, but there is no zero-sequence path externally, and it is an open circuit (infinite impedance) to the external network, retaining only the primary leakage inductance.
[0038] T112: Based on the physical equivalent path described in T111, the following transformer port voltages are obtained. With current Differential relation: (1); (2); in, The current moment; , They are respectively Port current and voltage at any given time; , They are respectively The time transformer T (specifically refers to the transformer in the circuit) The primary and secondary port voltages of ( ); , They are respectively The current at the primary and secondary terminals of the transformer at any given moment; , They are respectively The self-inductance of the primary and secondary sides of the transformer at any given time; This refers to the mutual inductance between the primary and secondary edges.
[0039] For both sides of the above formula (1) By integrating using the trapezoidal rule, the differential equation is transformed into a difference equation, yielding: (3); in, For time step; It is the inverse matrix of the inductance matrix; , They are respectively The port current and voltage at any given time.
[0040] Among them, for primary and secondary edge coupling in 1-mode and 2-mode networks, Represented as: (4); For the network corresponding to 0 mode, it is in an open-circuit state with respect to the external network (impedance is infinite), and only the primary leakage inductance is retained. , Represented as: (5); Transforming the discretized equations into Norton equivalent circuit form, we obtain: (6); in, This is the equivalent conductance matrix of the transformer; For the primary side of the transformer The equivalent current source vector at time t; For the secondary side of the transformer The equivalent current source vector at time t.
[0041] Further obtain Current source at all times and Current source at all times Relationship: (7); This completes the task. Construction of the Bergeron equivalent circuit for time transformer T.
[0042] Preferably, in some embodiments of this application, when constructing the Bergeron equivalent circuit of the inductor element, the inductor element is... The equivalent value is a resistance calculated from the equivalent value. and equivalent current source Parallel-connected equivalent circuits of the Begeron circuit.
[0043] According to inductor The relationship between the voltage difference across the terminals and the rate of change of the current flowing through them can be summarized as follows: (8); in, , Inductor Left node 1 and right node 2 are Voltage at time, For a moment Current flowing through the inductor The current flows from node 1 to node 2 in the reference direction.
[0044] For both sides of equation (8) Integrating within the inner, we get: (9); in, For a moment Current flowing through the inductor The current flows from node 1 to node 2 in the reference direction.
[0045] According to the trapezoidal rule, we can obtain from equation (9): (10); Substituting equation (10) into equation (9), we obtain the Norton equivalent circuit expression for the circuit: (11); The equivalent system of Bergeron equations is obtained by rearranging the equations: (12); in, for The equivalent current source at a given time.
[0046] In equation (12) Substitution The definition is as follows: The recursive formula for the current source at any given time: (13); Organized Current source at any time and Relationship between current sources at different times: (14); Thus, we have obtained At any moment, inductor The equivalent circuit of the Begeron circuit.
[0047] Preferably, in some embodiments of this application, when constructing the Bergeron equivalent circuit of the capacitor element, the capacitor element is... The equivalent value is a resistance calculation. and equivalent current source Parallel equivalent calculation circuits.
[0048] According to capacitor elements The relationship between the current flowing through the device and the voltage difference across its terminals can be summarized as follows: (15); According to the trapezoidal rule, we can obtain Current source at any time and Relationship between current sources at different times: (16); in, Capacitor element The capacitance value.
[0049] The above is the result. At any given moment, the capacitor element The equivalent circuit of the Begeron circuit.
[0050] Preferably, in some embodiments of this application, after obtaining the equivalent Begeron circuits corresponding to each power component, a Begeron equivalent circuit (i.e., a multimode equivalent network model) of the flexible DC system from the AC power supply to the DC line side is constructed. Utilizing the principle of impedance matching, a large resistor is connected in parallel at the DC-side outlet of the VSC converter to ground, constructing a reflection-free boundary to ignore the traveling wave reflection effect of subsequent lines. A short-circuit ground fault is set on the AC side A-phase, and a multimode equivalent network model containing the corresponding networks of mode 1, mode 2, and mode 0 is constructed. Specific steps include the following T121 to T122: T121: Perform modal decoupling and independent network construction. Based on the Kelenberger transform, the three-phase coupled transmission system is decoupled into three independent single-phase modal networks: mode 1 network (i.e., the first primary network model), mode 2 network (i.e., the second primary network model), and mode 0 network (i.e., the third primary network model).
[0051] According to the superposition principle, the electrical quantity after a fault = the normal component before the fault + the superimposed component caused by the fault. In order to analyze the superimposed component network separately, the normal power supply on the system side is regarded as a short circuit, and only the line parameters are retained.
[0052] For each mode of network, as shown in step T111, a lossless Begeron transmission line model is used for equivalence, transforming the distributed parameter transmission line into a series structure of wave impedance and historical current source. Specifically, wave impedance for mode 1 and mode 2 is calculated using line mode parameters, while wave impedance for mode 0 is calculated using zero-mode parameters.
[0053] T122: For a short-circuit ground fault f1 in phase A, the wave equation of the circuit is decoupled into independent modal components according to the Kelvin transform. Based on the fault point boundary conditions, the topological connection relationship of the 1-mode network, 2-mode network and 0-mode network connected in series at the fault point is obtained.
[0054] During fault feature extraction, considering the severe dispersion and attenuation of the zero-mode component during transmission through the ground loop, resulting in significant wavefront distortion detected at the far end, the traveling wave transmission details of the zero-mode in the spatial dimension are ignored. Only its boundary constraint effect at the fault point is retained, and the equivalent impedance is used. This replaces the representation of the 0-mode network (i.e., the third primary network model). For the 2-mode network, since its wave process is highly symmetrical with the 1-mode network, a constant wave impedance load is used at the fault point. Instead, a 2-mode network (i.e., the second primary network model) is used. In this case, an additional excitation source is inserted at the fault point to simulate the transient process. This source uses a step voltage model, with the amplitude taken as the negative of the voltage instantaneously before the A-phase fault, and the negative terminal pointing towards the reference ground, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown. To simulate the instantaneous effect of a fault, an additional fault excitation source (i.e., fault excitation) is inserted into the series circuit. The excitation source is a step voltage source, the voltage amplitude of which is the opposite of the voltage of phase A instantaneously before the fault occurs, and the negative terminal of the voltage source faces the reference ground.

[0056] By employing the trapezoidal integral method to discretize each power component from the AC side to the DC side and establishing a Bergeron equivalent model, the continuous system is transformed into a recursively computeable discrete network model, thus ensuring the numerical stability and accuracy of transient process calculations. Furthermore, the equivalent model is projected onto the mode space using the Kelvin transform, and primary network models for each mode are constructed according to the physical topology, allowing for the decomposition and expression of the electrical characteristics of the system under different modes.

[0115] In summary, the fault identification device for flexible DC AC incoming lines provided in this application has the following advantages compared to the prior art: This application constructs a multi-mode equivalent network model by connecting the equivalent circuits of the flexible DC system under different modes such as the first line mode, the second line mode, and the zero mode according to the single-phase grounding fault boundary conditions. This allows for a complete characterization of the modal coupling relationship of the system under fault conditions, accurately reflecting the transient response mechanism of the flexible DC system under a single-phase grounding fault from a theoretical perspective. Based on this, by applying fault excitation at a preset fault point to calculate the theoretical current response at the protection installation location and extracting theoretical transient characteristic values, a fault theoretical characteristic benchmark consistent with the system's physical characteristics is established. Furthermore, after a fault occurs, the transient characteristic values of the actual current response are extracted and compared with the theoretical transient characteristic values. Since the comparison objects are derived from theoretical calculations under the same system structure and the same fault boundary conditions, the impact of the converter control strategy on the fault current amplitude limitation and phase change can be effectively reduced, improving the identification accuracy of asymmetrical faults such as single-phase grounding, thereby enhancing the reliability of fault identification for flexible DC AC incoming lines. This approach can effectively overcome the influence of the flexible DC converter control strategy on the amplitude and phase relationship of the fault current, reduce the risk of misjudgment caused by zero-sequence interference introduced by the modulation strategy, and thus significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of flexible DC AC incoming line fault identification.
