Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automatic tracking devices for resonant grounding systems in power distribution networks, and in particular to a system capacitance current measuring device. Background Technology

[0002] In power distribution networks, a common grounding method is to ground the neutral point through an arc suppression coil. By adjusting the tap position of the arc suppression coil, the system capacitive current is calculated using the tuning curve method and the incremental method before and after the tap change. Then, the inductive reactance of the arc suppression coil is adjusted to approximately equal the system capacitive reactance. When a ground fault occurs, the grounding point current is compensated, achieving the purpose of extinguishing the arc. Therefore, accurate calculation of the capacitive current is crucial. The tap adjustment method for calculating the system capacitive current is a passive measurement method. When the system imbalance is very small, this method has a very large calculation error, making it difficult to accurately track and compensate.

[0003] As the capacity of power distribution networks increases, the amount of cables used also increases, leading to a larger system capacitive current while the system imbalance decreases. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of calculating the capacitive current using the tap-adjustment method. In mountainous and long-distance transmission systems, overhead lines are still used, resulting in significant system imbalance. To suppress series resonance, arc suppression coils require high-resistance damping resistors with very high damping ratios. The tuning curve of the arc suppression coils is very smooth, leading to large errors in calculating the system capacitive current using the tap-adjustment method, and making it impossible for arc suppression devices to accurately track the current.

[0004] Another method for measuring system capacitive current is to calculate the capacitive current by injecting a signal through an open delta PT. However, this method is limited by the small secondary capacitance of the PT, resulting in a very small injected signal and poor measurement accuracy. Furthermore, the PT harmonic suppressor and arc suppression coil need to be disconnected during measurement, limiting its application scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a device for measuring system capacitance current using the injection method, thereby improving the accuracy of system capacitance current calculation.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows.

[0007] An apparatus for measuring system capacitive current using an injection method includes a measuring and signal generator and an integrated injection transformer. The measuring and signal generator internally includes an H-bridge inverter unit, an LCL filter circuit, a power supply, and a controller. The integrated injection transformer includes a step-up transformer, a voltage transformer, and a current transformer. The input terminal of the controller is connected to the signal terminals of the voltage transformer and the current transformer, respectively, and the output terminal of the controller is connected to the controlled terminal of the H-bridge inverter unit. The power supply, the H-bridge inverter unit, and the LCL filter circuit are connected in series. The output terminal of the H-bridge inverter unit is connected to the primary side of the step-up transformer via the LCL filter circuit. One end of the secondary side of the step-up transformer is grounded via the current transformer, and the other end of the secondary side of the step-up transformer is the signal output terminal X.

[0008] Preferably, the LCL filter circuit includes a first inductor, a capacitor, and a second inductor. The first inductor and the second inductor are connected in series between one input terminal of the step-up transformer and one output terminal of the H-bridge inverter unit. One end of the capacitor is connected to the junction of the first inductor and the second inductor, and the other end is connected to the other input terminal of the step-up transformer and the other output terminal of the H-bridge inverter unit, respectively.

[0009] The technological advancements achieved by this utility model are as follows, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions.

[0010] This invention injects signals of different frequencies into the system using a measuring and signal generator. Utilizing the different zero-sequence loop impedances at different frequencies, the system's capacitive current is calculated by establishing loop equations. Because of the injected signal, the calculation of the system capacitive current is unaffected by system unbalanced voltage; even if the unbalanced voltage is zero, the system capacitive current can still be calculated. Furthermore, the measuring and signal generator and the step-up transformer have large capacities, meeting the requirement for accurate backtesting after signal injection, thus resulting in high measurement accuracy.

One end of the capacitor C is connected to the junction of the first inductor L1 and the second inductor L2, and the other end is connected to the other input terminal of the step-up transformer B and the other output terminal of the H-bridge inverter unit HQ.

[0025] When this invention is applied to a neutral-point ungrounded system, the system is equipped with a compensation capacitor. The signal output terminal X of the device can be connected to the neutral point of the compensation capacitor for measurement. Figure 2 As shown, its zero-sequence equivalent diagram is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, where: U s X is the voltage of the variable signal source. CB To compensate for the capacitor reactance, X LB X is the reactance of the series reactor, Is is the output current of the signal source, and X is the reactance of the series reactor. c For the system's ground capacitance that needs to be solved, R sys Let U0 be the system resistance to ground that needs to be solved, U0 be the voltage injected into the system side by the signal source, and I0 be the current injected into the system side by the signal source. The system parallel impedance parameters include the system capacitive reactance X. c and system-to-ground resistance R sys .

[0026] During normal system operation, the measuring device injects a fixed frequency f1 (corresponding to angular frequency ω1) and an amplitude of U into the system. s The voltage signal is used to acquire the injected current I in the system through a current transformer. s ; By principle Figure 3 The zero-sequence loop current I0 on the system side can be calculated, which is also the current injected into the system side by the variable signal source.

Figure 4 As shown, its zero-sequence equivalent diagram is as follows: Figure 5 As shown; alternatively, the signal output terminal X of the device can be connected to the neutral point of the configured compensation capacitor for measurement, such as... Figure 6 As shown. The system ground capacitive reactance can be calculated using the prior invention patent application "202510473787.1 A method for calculating zero-sequence loop impedance using frequency conversion signal", and then the system capacitive current can be calculated by dividing the system bus phase voltage by the system ground capacitive reactance.

[0042] This invention injects signals of different frequencies into the system using a measurement and signal generator. By utilizing the different zero-sequence loop impedances of the system at different frequencies, the system capacitance current is calculated by establishing loop equations. This overcomes the limitations of calculating capacitance current using the PT open-delta injection method. The measurement is not affected by the system PT characteristics, and the injection power can be greatly increased, improving the energy of the injected signal, making the backtest signal more accurate, and thus improving the accuracy of the system capacitance current.

[0043] This invention can measure not only neutral-point ungrounded systems, but also systems grounded by a single arc suppression coil and systems with multiple arc suppression coils connected in parallel, thus expanding its application range. The measurement results can be transmitted to the arc suppression coil as a basis for adjusting its settings, and can also be used as an instrument to measure the system's capacitive current, assisting operators in understanding changes in the system's capacitive current.
