The invention provides a hierarchical protection 
control system facing a 
regional power grid. The hierarchical protection 
control system comprises an in-situ level protection device, a substation area protection 
control system and a 
wide area protection control 
system, wherein the in-situ level protection device is configured according to a traditional protection scheme and adopts a direct sampling direct trip mode or a direct sampling network trip mode; the substation area protection control 
system is configured according to substations or 
voltage classes, utilizes an 
information sharing advantage to improve the 
backup protection performance, realizes protection functions of 
backup protection, redundancy protection, failure protection, and the like, and control functions of spare power automatic switching, low-frequency and low-
voltage load shedding, and the like, and adopts a 
network sampling network trip mode; and the 
wide area protection control 
system is configured according to areas, realizes functions of 
wide area backup protection, self-adaptive adjustment of protection fixed values, low-frequency and low-
voltage load shedding, 
power grid state evaluation, safety pre-warning, and the like, and realizes the interaction and the sharing of information of intelligent 
transformer substations in the areas through a wide area communication net. The hierarchical protection control system has the advantages that the reliability and the selectivity of 
relay protection can be improved on the basis that protection configuration of the existing 
power grid is not changed, so high requirements of 
power grid interconnection, 
new energy access, and the like on 
relay protection are satisfied.
