Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrified railway traction power supply technology, specifically relating to an intelligent traction network differential protection device applicable to multiple communication interfaces. Background Technology

[0002] my country's electrified railway traction power supply system includes various power supply methods, such as direct power supply, direct power supply with overhead return lines, BT power supply, single-track AT power supply, and fully parallel AT power supply. In some areas with complex terrain or long gradients, a double-sided power supply method has been adopted to increase traction power supply capacity and eliminate phase separation. The original single-sided power supply system has been changed to a double-sided power supply, and the traction network equipment also uses traction network differential protection as the main protection. Differential protection requires the laying or configuration of communication channels between the stations where the protection devices are installed. Differential protection channels have two modes: independent fiber optic channels and data networks. When traditional traction network differential protection devices use the data network mode for differential data transmission, a multiplexing interface device needs to be added between the protection device and the data network channel for interface conversion between the optical interface and the data network. This method increases the number of supporting equipment for traction network differential protection and reduces the operational reliability of traction network differential protection. Utility Model Content

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure.

[0023] Specifically, the switching switch uses a 2-bit DIP switch to switch the channel for receiving differential data according to the state of the 2-bit DIP switch.

[0024] In some specific implementations, the main control module includes a status judgment module, a first switching switch, and a second switching switch.

When port 1 is in the on state and port 2 is in the on state, the third logic module outputs a high level to trigger both the first and second switches to operate.

[0027] In some specific implementations, when the main control module receives a DIP switch state of 01, it triggers the differential data receiving channel to switch to the independent fiber optic channel; when it receives a DIP switch state of 10, it triggers the differential data receiving channel to switch to the data network channel; and when it receives a DIP switch state of 11, it triggers the differential data receiving channel to switch to simultaneously receiving differential data from both the independent fiber optic channel and the data network channel.

[0028] In some specific implementations, the CPU plug-in includes a fiber optic interface access device and a photoelectric conversion device. The fiber optic interface access device is used to receive differential protection optical signals from the intelligent unit, and the photoelectric conversion device is used to convert the differential protection optical signals into differential protection data. The differential protection data is uploaded to the main control device through the differential data bus.

[0029] In some specific implementations, the 2M communication interface plug-in includes a 2M coaxial cable interface access device and a digital signal processor. The 2M coaxial cable interface access device is used to receive data network signals from the intelligent unit, and the digital signal processor is used to decode the data network signals into differential protection data. The differential protection data is uploaded to the main control device through the differential data bus.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the differential protection device consists of a CPU module, a 2M communication interface module, an NPI module, an input module, an output module, a power supply module, and a human-machine interface unit, arranged in a modular fashion.

[0031] (1) Main hardware interfaces of the device plug-in

[0032] The CPU module provides two fiber optic interfaces, supporting data exchange between up to three traction network differential protection devices. The three differential protection devices are connected via fiber optic cables. Figure 3 As shown. The fiber optic interface is single-mode fiber, and the fiber optic connection interface type is FC; it provides 2 Ethernet ports (RJ45 interfaces) for the device to access the station control layer monitoring system; it provides 2 process layer optical Ethernet ports (LC interfaces) for receiving AC digital information and external GOOSE inputs; and it provides 1 optical B code time synchronization port for receiving external time synchronization information.

[0033] The 2M communication interface plug-in provides two 2M interfaces, which are coaxial cables. It supports data exchange between up to three traction network differential protection devices. The three differential protection devices are connected via coaxial cables. Figure 3 As shown.

[0034] The input module provides 31 high-voltage inputs, with input power adaptive to DC220 / 110V; the output module provides 20 outputs; the device power module is adaptive to DC220 / 110V, provides a set of power failure alarm contacts, and provides 15 inputs, with input power adaptive to DC220 / 110V.

[0035] (2) Main working principle of the device

[0036] The hardware architecture of the traction network differential protection device is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the device receives digital and analog signals transmitted from the intelligent unit and inputs them into the FPGA chip in SV format. External conventional switching information is input into the FPGA chip through an input module, digital switching signals are input into the FPGA chip in GOOSE format, and differential protection data is input into the FPGA chip through the differential data bus. The FPGA chip performs high-performance logic operations and data interaction based on the input information, outputs signals through the output array, and sends the processed data to the CPU through the data interaction channel. The CPU performs calculations related to protection and measurement and control, and interacts with external devices through a human-machine interface (keyboard, LCD, debugging network port, etc.). Important alarm tripping information is provided to the process layer devices by driving the corresponding relays in hardware contact mode or in GOOSE format through the process layer optical port.

[0037] This embodiment of the device supports simultaneous access to both the independent fiber optic channel and the data network channel for differential protection. When the differential protection channel is an independent fiber optic channel, it is connected to the device through the fiber optic interface of the CPU plug-in. The device converts the optical signal into an electrical signal through a photoelectric converter, and the differential protection data enters the differential data bus. When the differential protection channel is a 2M data network channel, it is connected to the device through the 2M coaxial cable interface of the 2M communication interface plug-in. The device's digital signal processor (DSP) decodes the data network signal and then converts it into Ethernet format data packets, which are then connected to the differential data bus. The conversion methods are all existing and commonly used methods that can be implemented based on the functionality of the device itself, and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0038] The FPGA chip can autonomously switch between independent fiber optic channels and data network channels by using DIP switches, or it can choose to operate both independent fiber optic channels and data network channels simultaneously.

[0039] The differential protection device is equipped with a 2-position DIP switch. When the DIP switch is set to 01, the device receives differential data from the independent fiber optic channel; when the DIP switch is set to 10, the device receives differential data from the data network channel; when the DIP switch is set to 11, the device receives differential data from both the independent fiber optic channel and the data network channel simultaneously, and prioritizes the differential data from the independent fiber optic channel.

[0040] This embodiment also provides a differential protection logic: if the device detects an interruption of the independent fiber optic channel or a differential protection data error rate > 0.01%, it issues a differential channel abnormality alarm and blocks the differential protection; if the device detects an interruption of the data network channel or a differential protection data error rate > 0.01%, it issues a differential channel abnormality alarm and blocks the differential protection; when the independent fiber optic channel is interrupted or the differential protection data error rate > 0.01%, the device switches to using data network channel data; when the independent data network channel is interrupted or the differential protection data error rate > 0.01% and the independent fiber optic channel is normal, the device switches to using independent fiber optic channel data; differential protection is blocked only when both the independent fiber optic channel and the data network channel are interrupted or the differential protection data error rate > 0.01%. The methods for calculating the bit error rate and detecting channel interruption described above are existing technologies and are not the focus of this application. The focus of this application is that it can simultaneously support two differential channel access modes. In the data network channel mode, the multiplexing interface device is eliminated, reducing the number of supporting devices for traction network differential protection. It supports redundant operation of independent optical fiber and data network dual channels for differential protection, improving the reliability of differential protection data transmission.
