Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system technology, specifically relating to a long-distance control loop and control method for substations. Background Technology
[0002] The 750kV substation uses a line transformer connection. No circuit breaker is installed on the high-voltage side outgoing line of the 750kV transformer. The 750kV outgoing line connects to the 750kV distribution area of the power plant on the opposite side, approximately 1 kilometer away. The 750kV distribution area on the power plant side uses a one-and-a-half-circuit breaker connection. In this arrangement, due to space and other objective constraints, the main transformer protection of the 750kV substation is located in the relay compartment on the substation side, while the circuit breaker protection on the power plant side is located in the relay compartment on the power plant side. The main transformer protection output and circuits such as circuit breaker failure tripping are interconnected using long control cables. In this configuration, the cable core has a large distributed capacitance to ground, making it easier for interference signals to enter the protection device through the long cable. Furthermore, the fault caused by the distributed capacitance of the long cable is random, potentially interfering with the main transformer protection tripping of the 750kV substation and the 750kV circuit breaker failure tripping on the power plant side, causing abnormal equipment operation and even malfunctioning outputs of the circuits connected to the long cable.
[0003] See Figure 1 The diagram shows the relative layout of the substation and power plant. The 750kV substation uses a line transformer connection, and the high-voltage side outgoing line of the 750kV transformer does not have a circuit breaker. The 750kV outgoing line connects to the 750kV distribution area of the power plant on the opposite side, approximately 1 kilometer away. The 750kV distribution area on the power plant side uses a one-and-a-half-circuit breaker connection. Under this layout, according to the existing design, the large distributed capacitance to ground in the long cable control circuit may interfere with the high-voltage side tripping of the 750kV substation main transformer protection, the main transformer air-cooling control circuit, the main transformer fire control circuit, the power plant side 750kV circuit breaker failure interlocking circuit, and the electrical interlocking circuit between the substation and the power plant, potentially causing malfunctions in the devices or circuits. Therefore, alternative design schemes need to be considered to prevent interference signals from entering the protection devices through the long cable and causing incorrect operation, ensuring the safe and effective operation of the equipment.
[0004] The high-voltage outgoing lines of the 750kV substation's transformer units lack circuit breakers and connect to the 750kV distribution area of the opposite power plant, approximately 1 kilometer away. Under this arrangement, the existing design uses long-distance control cables to implement protection outputs, circuit breaker failure tripping, and air-cooled and fire-fighting control circuits. However, the large distributed capacitance to ground of these long control cables makes it easy for interference signals to enter the protection devices, potentially causing malfunctions. This technology results in low control circuit reliability and negatively impacts the stable operation of the power grid. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Furthermore, the position feedback contacts of the substation-side switchgear are transmitted via the first substation-side signaling device, the first dedicated optical fiber communication link, and the first power plant-side signaling device, and then connected to the input terminal of the power plant-side electrical interlocking circuit. The position feedback contacts of the power plant-side switchgear are transmitted through the first power plant-side signaling device, the first dedicated optical fiber communication link, and the first substation-side signaling device, and then connected to the input terminal of the substation-side electrical interlocking circuit. The second remote signal transmission unit is synchronously configured with the first remote signal transmission unit to form a bidirectional position signal transmission and interlocking circuit, thus forming a dualized cross-station electrical interlocking circuit.

[0015] Secondly, the present invention provides a long-distance control method for substations, comprising the following steps: Perform remote control operations from the substation side to the power plant side: The control signals output from the signal output terminal of the substation-side control unit are connected to the signal input terminals of the first substation-side signal device and the second substation-side signal device, respectively.

[0029] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further explains a long-distance control loop for a substation according to the present invention: This embodiment is divided into two main areas: the substation side and the power plant side. There is no direct cable connection between the two sides; bidirectional signal transmission is achieved only through dedicated optical fibers. A completely independent dual-system design is adopted (corresponding to the power system protection dual-system specification), with two sets of remote signal transmission devices. Each device is independently equipped with a dedicated 4-core single-mode armored optical cable. The two systems are physically isolated, so a failure in one system does not affect the operation of the other, significantly improving circuit reliability.
[0030] Substation side: Core primary equipment: 750kV main transformer, circuit breakers on each side of the main transformer, matching disconnect switches (DS3), and grounding switches (ES3, Q11, Q21); Core secondary equipment: dual-configuration transformer protection A / B cabinet, transformer non-electrical quantity protection, transformer air-cooled control box, transformer fire / fire alarm module, and two sets of remote signaling devices paired with the power plant side; Signal flow direction: Sending signals outward: The main transformer protection trip output, failure start signal, and local disconnector / grounding switch position signal are sent to a remote signaling device and transmitted to the power plant side via optical fiber; Internal reception: Receives circuit breaker position and disconnector / grounding switch position signals transmitted from the power plant side via optical fiber, which are used for the control logic of main transformer air cooling and fire protection, as well as the electrical interlocking of disconnectors and grounding switches on this side.
[0031] Power plant side: Core primary equipment: 750kV high-voltage circuit breaker (7541), matching disconnect switches (12G, 13G), grounding switches (12GD, 23GD, Q21, etc.); Core secondary equipment: 7541 circuit breaker protection device, circuit breaker control cabinet, 2 sets of remote signaling devices; Signal flow direction: Sending signals outward: Send signals such as circuit breaker position, disconnector / grounding switch position, circuit breaker failure start signal, and trip circuit status to a remote signaling device, which then transmits them to the substation side via optical fiber; Internal reception: Receives the main transformer protection trip command and the grounding switch position interlocking signal transmitted from the substation side via optical fiber, drives the circuit breaker to trip, and realizes the electrical interlocking of the local disconnecting switch.
[0032] Main transformer protection trip output circuit: When the main transformer fails, the trip command of the main transformer protection on the substation side is transmitted to the power plant side through optical fiber, tripping the high-voltage circuit breaker such as 7541 on the power plant side, and simultaneously activating the circuit breaker failure protection and blocking reclosing.
[0033] Main transformer air-cooled control circuit: The opening position signal of the circuit breaker on the power plant side is transmitted back to the substation side through optical fiber, and then connected in series to the automatic switching control circuit of the main transformer cooler.
[0034] Fire control circuit of main transformer: The trip position signal of the circuit breaker on the power plant side is transmitted back to the substation side through optical fiber, and then connected in series to the start control circuit of the main transformer fire protection system.
[0035] Circuit breaker failure tripping circuit: When the 7541 circuit breaker on the power plant side fails, the failure start signal is transmitted to the substation side through optical fiber, triggering the main transformer protection to trip the circuit breakers on all sides of the main transformer, completely isolating the fault.
[0036] Two-way five-prevention electrical interlocking circuit: The position signals of the disconnecting switches and grounding switches on both sides are transmitted to each other through optical fiber, and the normally closed contact of the grounding switch on the opposite side is connected in series with the interlocking circuit of the disconnecting switch on this side to prevent malicious electrical misoperation such as energizing the grounding switch with the grounding switch on or closing the grounding switch with the grounding switch on, thus meeting the five-prevention safety requirements of the power system.
[0037] 1. Main transformer protection trip output In the event of a fault within the transformer zone, both the dual-configuration 750kV main transformer power protection devices A and B must trip the 7541 and 7540 circuit breakers on the power plant side, triggering a circuit breaker failure and simultaneously blocking reclosing. This circuit transmits information from the substation side to the power plant side via dedicated fiber optic communication. See the detailed circuit logic below. Figure 2 .
[0038] When a transformer fails, the single-unit 750kV main transformer non-electrical quantity protection device must trip the 7541 and 7540 circuit breakers on the power plant side and block reclosing. This circuit transmits information from the substation side to the power plant side via dedicated fiber optic communication. See the detailed circuit logic below. Figure 2 .
[0039] 2. Main transformer air-cooling control circuit The normally closed contacts of the circuit breakers on each side of the main transformer need to be connected in series and then connected to the automatic start-up control circuit of the main transformer cooler via a reactivation relay. The position nodes of the 7541 and 7540 circuit breakers on the high-voltage side of the main transformer transmit information via a dedicated fiber optic communication device from the power plant side to the substation side. See the detailed circuit logic below. Figure 2 .
[0040] 3. Fire control circuit of main transformer The normally closed contacts of the circuit breakers on each side of the main transformer need to be connected in series and then connected to the main transformer fire-fighting start control circuit via a reactivation relay. The position nodes of the 7541 and 7540 circuit breakers on the high-voltage side of the main transformer transmit information via a dedicated fiber optic communication device from the power plant side to the substation side. See the detailed circuit logic below. Figure 2 .
[0041] 4. 750kV circuit breaker failure tripping circuit When the protection devices of circuit breakers 7541 and 7540 on the high-voltage side of the main transformer fail, the 750kV main transformer protection devices A and B must trip, opening the circuit breakers on each side of the main transformer. This circuit transmits information via dedicated fiber optic communication from the power plant side to the substation side via a remote signal transmission device. See the detailed circuit logic below. Figure 2 .
[0042] 5. Electrical interlocking circuit between substation and power plant 5.1 Power plant side 12G and 13G blocking logic According to the five-prevention requirements of the power system, the 12G and 13G interlocking logic circuits need to consider the interlocking relationship between the substation-side disconnectors ES3 and Q21. The circuit design requires that the normally closed contacts of disconnectors ES3 and Q21 be connected in series with the 12G and 13G interlocking circuits to prevent the risk of energizing with the grounding switch connected. This circuit transmits information from the substation-side remote signal transmission device to the power plant-side remote signal transmission device via dedicated fiber optic communication. See the specific circuit logic below. Figure 2 .
[0043] 5.2, Substation-side DS3 and Q11 blocking logic According to the five-prevention requirements of the power system, the DS3 and Q11 interlocking logic circuits need to consider the interlocking relationship of the power plant-side disconnector 23GD. The circuit design requires that the normally closed contact of disconnector 23GD be connected in series with the DS3 and Q11 interlocking circuits to prevent the risk of energizing with the grounding switch connected. This circuit transmits information from the power plant-side remote signal transmission device to the substation-side remote signal transmission device via dedicated fiber optic communication. See the specific circuit logic below. Figure 2 .
[0044] 5.3 Substation Side Q21 Blocking Logic According to the five-prevention requirements of the power system, the Q21 interlocking logic circuit needs to consider the interlocking relationship of disconnectors 12G and 13G on the power plant side.

This circuit transmits information from the power plant side's remote signal transmission device to the substation side's remote signal transmission device via dedicated fiber optic communication. See the specific circuit logic below. Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the circuit logic of the remote signaling device between the substation and the power plant.
