[0002] With the rapid development of cities and the sharp increase of population in China, the pressure of urban traffic is also increasing day by day. The subway has a large passenger volume and high density, which can greatly relieve the traffic pressure. However, the subway has a high operating power and consumes a large amount of electric energy, so it is imperative to implement energy conservation and emission reduction. When the subway train is working normally, it will brake frequently, and the electric energy consumption generated by braking accounts for about 40% of the whole traction process. The use of energy storage devices to recover the braking energy of locomotives is applied in more and more urban rail transits due to its high recovery efficiency and environmental superiority. Therefore, the energy storage type subway traction system is selected as the research object of the utility model.

[0003] In the urban rail transit DC traction power supply system, the subway DC feeder protection mainly adopts overcurrent tripping protection, rate of change of current and current increment (DDL) protection, etc. The feeder current will rise rapidly both at the moment of locomotive starting and at the moment of short-circuit fault. There is a certain similarity between the starting current of the locomotive in amplitude and rate of change and the remote fault current, so there is a possibility of misoperation in DDL protection. The existing solution is to delay for a period of time, but this method has a slow action speed and is difficult to meet the protection requirements of the energy storage type subway traction system.

[0037] This embodiment provides an energy storage type urban rail DC traction system, which uses the active injection type feeder protection system described in Embodiment 1 to realize the protection of the DC bus. The system structure is as Figure 1As shown in the figure, it includes: the first traction substation 1, the second traction substation 2, the first incoming line current sensor 3, the second incoming line current sensor 4, the first wavelet energy calculation device 5, the second wavelet energy calculation device 6, the first feeder protection device 11, the second feeder protection device 12, the first incoming line switch 13, the second incoming line switch 14, the first subway energy storage and characteristic signal injection system 21, and the second subway energy storage and characteristic signal injection system 22.

[0043] The working principle of the present utility model:

[0044] Taking the first traction substation on the left as an example for illustration, the first incoming line current sensor 3 transmits the feeder current data to the first wavelet energy calculation device 5, and the first wavelet energy calculation device 5 sets different setting values. When the DC current change rate di / dt is greater than the set value, the first characteristic signal injection device 19 is activated, and a specific harmonic is injected into the DC bus through the coupling inductor. After filtering the fault current, the first wavelet energy calculation device 5 calculates the wavelet energy values E0 and E1 of the specific harmonic within 0.1 s before and after injection, takes D = E1 / E0, and compares the calculated wavelet energy value ratio D with the setting value (taking 11 - 13). For example, taking the setting value as 12, if it is determined that the locomotive starts (D ≤ 12), the first feeder protection device 11 does not operate; if it is judged as a short - circuit fault (D > 12), the first feeder protection device 11 operates.

[0045] The working flow chart of the whole system is as Figure 3 shown, and the specific process is as follows:

[0046] (1) Taking the DC current change rate di / dt being greater than the setting value as the starting criterion for the characteristic signal injection device;

[0047] (2) After the characteristic signal injection device is activated, calculate the n - th characteristic harmonic current energies E0 and E1 within 0.1 s before and after the injection of the specific harmonic respectively, and calculate their ratio D (E1 / E0);

[0048] (3) Judge the type of this abnormal operation (locomotive start, short - circuit fault) through the magnitude of D;

[0049] (4) If it is a locomotive start, the process ends; if it is a short - circuit fault, the feeder protection device operates.

[0050] Embodiment 3: Illustrate the effectiveness of the active injection type DC traction network feeder protection system of the present utility model by way of example.

[0052] The wavelet energy values within 0 - 0.1 s are 30.34, 30.42, and 31.75 respectively. The wavelet energy values within 0.1 - 0.2 s are 294.91, 294.07, and 293.87 respectively.

The wavelet energy value ratios within 0.1 s before and after the short - circuit fault are 36.8, 16.2, and 14.4 respectively. Based on the above ratios, the short - circuit fault and the locomotive start can be distinguished.

[0053] Embodiment 4: Illustrate the effectiveness of the active - injection type DC traction network feeder protection system for urban rail transit of the present utility model by way of example.

[0054] The locomotive start position is 1.5 km away from the first traction substation. The fault positions are 0.5 km, 1.5 km, and 2.5 km respectively. It is assumed that the locomotive starts at 0.1 s and a fault occurs at 1 s.

[0055] The wavelet energy values within 0 - 0.1 s are 15.12, 15.2, and 15.12 respectively. The wavelet energy values within 0.1 - 0.2 s are 28.54, 29, and 28.55 respectively. The wavelet energy values within 0.9 - 1.0 s are 0.2789, 0.2790, and 0.279 respectively. The wavelet energy values within 1.0 - 1.1 s are 266.52, 9.85, and 3.74 respectively. Then the wavelet energy ratios within 0.1 s before and after the locomotive starts are 1.89, 1.90, and 1.89 respectively. The wavelet energy value ratios within 0.1 s before and after the short - circuit fault are 955.63, 35.33, and 13.41 respectively. Based on the above ratios, the short - circuit fault and the locomotive start can be distinguished.
