Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power control and protection device technology, specifically, to a protection device suitable for power distribution lines with distributed power sources. Background Technology

[0002] Various small-scale clean energy sources, balancing cost and convenience, often choose to connect to the distribution network via 10kV lines, changing the original simple radial network operation mode into a multi-source network. Simultaneously, with the development of regional economies, the number of dedicated line users is constantly increasing, and the original power flow will also change. The power supply and consumption model has undergone tremendous changes, and traditional distribution line protection devices are generally only suitable for a certain type of distribution network, making it difficult to accommodate multiple distribution lines. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a protection device suitable for distributed power distribution lines, solving the problem that traditional power distribution line protection devices are difficult to adapt to the operation scenarios of distributed power distribution lines.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A protection device suitable for power distribution lines with distributed power sources includes a control module, a distributed power source grid-connected management module, and a power distribution line protection module. The control module is connected to the distributed power source grid-connected management module. The control module includes a power supply module, an input / output module, a communication module, and a CPU module. The CPU module is connected to the power supply module, the input / output module, and the communication module. The distributed power source grid-connected management module includes a power distribution line protection device basic module and a distributed power source grid-connected protection monitoring module. The protection common module includes a signal acquisition module, a data calculation module, and... The protection judgment basic module includes a distributed power grid-connected protection monitoring module comprising a power quality detection module, a loop-closing synchronization module, and a source-side voltage-controlled closing interlocking module. The distribution line protection module includes a single-phase grounding protection module and a line break protection module. The signal acquisition module is installed on the distribution line. The data calculation module is connected to the protection judgment basic module, the power quality detection module, the loop-closing synchronization module, the source-side voltage-controlled closing interlocking module, the single-phase grounding protection module, and the line break protection module. The CPU module is connected to the signal acquisition module and the data calculation module.

[0006] Traditional protection devices for power distribution lines are generally only suitable for single-radial distribution networks, making it difficult to meet the requirements of multi-source distribution networks. The protection device proposed in this solution is chip-controlled and integrates multiple power distribution line protection modules. It can be applied to sections, branches, and common connection points of distributed power sources on power distribution lines, as well as to sections and branches of conventional power distribution lines. The chip-controlled modules effectively enable linkage between modules and are scalable, facilitating device expansion and adaptability to more types of power distribution networks. This strategy of adapting one protection device to multiple power distribution networks eliminates the need for power distribution line managers to distinguish between different device types and models, making engineering installation, operation, and management easier.

[0007] Furthermore, the protection device is installed at the point of common coupling (PCC) between the distributed power source and the distribution network. In a power system, protection devices in different parts may have different protection settings and strategies. If these are not properly configured and verified, malfunctions or failures to operate may occur. Installing the protection device at the PCC enables management and grid connection protection of distributed power sources, ensuring the stable operation of the power system. Simultaneously, equipment in different locations may have different management methods and systems. If unified management is not implemented, it will lead to management chaos. If the models and types of protection devices in various locations of the power system can be standardized, unified management of equipment in different locations can be achieved, improving the management efficiency and level of the power system. The PCC installation also provides dual protection for both the distributed power source and the distribution network. If a fault occurs on one side, the protection device can quickly disconnect the fault path, preventing the fault from spreading to the other side.

[0008] Furthermore, the protection device also includes a setting preset device, which is used to preset the settings of the protection device. The setting preset device communicates wirelessly with the control module. For each functional module of the protection device to perform timely and correct operations, its relevant values ​​need to be preset. This solution achieves this effect by utilizing the setting preset device. The setting preset can set different protection actions for different operating modes, such as overcurrent protection, undervoltage protection, and overvoltage protection. When an abnormal situation occurs, the protection device will perform corresponding actions according to the preset settings, thereby protecting the stability and reliability of distributed power sources and the power system. In addition, the setting preset can be flexibly adjusted and modified according to actual needs to meet the protection requirements in different scenarios.

[0009] Furthermore, the protection device also includes a bidirectional current protection module, which comprises a current protection device and a directional element, and is connected to the data calculation module. Traditional current protection activates based on the current magnitude and operates after a protection time limit. Directional overcurrent protection with a directional element only protects the forward-direction line, ignoring the reverse line. The bidirectional current protection in this invention can provide forward-direction protection, reverse-direction protection, or simultaneous forward and reverse-direction protection according to user settings.

[0010] Furthermore, the protection device also includes a switching module, through which the control module is connected to the distributed power grid management module and the power distribution line protection module. When dealing with different types of power distribution networks, the protection device needs to switch to the corresponding mode. Through the switching module, based on the relevant parameter settings of the power distribution network and the coordinated control of the control module, mode switching can be achieved more quickly and conveniently.

[0011] Furthermore, the distributed power grid connection management module also includes an anti-islanding protection module and a reverse power protection module, and the data calculation module is connected to the anti-islanding protection module and the reverse power protection module. When an unplanned island forms in the power system, the load within the island and the capacity of the distributed power source are mismatched, which can lead to the burning of electrical appliances by users within the island, and even threaten grid maintenance personnel. When islanding occurs, the anti-islanding protection device can quickly disconnect the distributed power source, ensuring the power safety of users and the life safety of maintenance personnel. At the same time, the power supply between the distributed power source and the grid is generally unidirectional, and there are often power supply requirements; therefore, a reverse power protection function should be configured to control the direction and power threshold.

[0012] Furthermore, the anti-islanding protection module includes an anti-islanding protection device and an execution device. The execution device includes a fault handling unit and a signal processing unit, which are connected in series. Islanding detection methods are mainly divided into passive detection and active detection. This invention adopts a passive detection method, which has no impact on power quality, thereby reducing the impact on the power grid. At the same time, the anti-islanding protection module only needs to detect whether the voltage, frequency, and other parameters of the grid-connected distributed power source are disconnected from the power grid to make a judgment. Therefore, its structure is relatively simple and its cost is relatively low.

[0013] Furthermore, the communication module includes a serial communication protocol interface, a network communication protocol interface, and a mobile communication interface. The communication module contains multiple interfaces, making information transmission and interaction between the control module and other modules and external systems more flexible and selective.

[0014] Furthermore, the control module also includes a debugging and monitoring module, which includes a debugging and monitoring interface and a debugging and monitoring device, with the CPU module, the debugging and monitoring interface, and the debugging and monitoring device connected in series. During the operation of the protection device, its operating status needs to be monitored to understand its working status in a timely manner. The debugging and monitoring module can monitor the system's operating status in real time, record various system operating data, and provide rapid early warnings when system anomalies or faults occur.

[0015] Furthermore, the control module also includes an indicator module, which comprises an indicator interface and an indicator device, with the CPU module, the indicator interface, and the indicator device connected in series. When the protection device is in operation, the operating status of each module needs to be displayed intuitively. The indicator module can better display the operating status and function execution of each module.

[0016] One or more technical solutions provided by this utility model have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0017] This power distribution line protection device is based on chip control and integrates multiple power distribution line protection function modules. It can be applied to sections, branches, and common connection points of distributed power sources on power distribution lines with distributed power sources, as well as to sections and branches of traditional conventional single-radial power distribution lines. The chip-based control module can effectively realize the linkage between various modules and has scalability, which facilitates the expansion of the device and adapts to power distribution networks with more operating modes. The strategy of one protection device adapting to multiple power distribution networks eliminates the need for power distribution line managers to distinguish between different types and models of devices, making engineering installation, operation and maintenance easier.
