A Double-Ended Protection Principle for an LCC-VSC-MTDC System with Strong Anti-Interference Ability

The DC grid technology of multi-power supply and multi-drop-point power reception is an effective solution for large-scale renewable energy integration into the power grid.Line-commutated converter-Voltage source converter(LCC-VSC)power grids are one of the more important developmental directions of the future power grid that have occured in recent years.But the multi-terminal high voltage direct current system has the problems of inconsistent boundary characteristics,inconsistent control,and fault response characteristics,which puts higher requirements on the protection scheme.Thus,a completely new protection principle is proposed in this paper.Firstly,the fault characteristics of distributed capacitance current are analyzed.The reactive power calculated by the distribution parameters of different frequencies is different.Subsequently,the fault characteristics of DC reactive power are analyzed,and a DC reactive power extraction algorithm is proposed.The polarity of the multi-band DC reactive power is used to construct the protection scheme.Finally,the LCC-VSC power grid model verifies the correctness and superiority of the proposed protection scheme.The proposed scheme uses DC reactive power instead of fault current to solve the long delay problem caused by distributed capacitance.Compared with the prior art,the proposed solution is not affected by distributed capacitance and has a stronger anti-interference ability(600Ω+10 dB+1 ms).

A Single-Ended Protection Principle for LCC-VSC-MTDC System with High Resistance Fault Tolerance

Line-commutated converter-voltage source converter(LCC-VSC)power transmission technology does not have the problem of communication failure very usually.It therefore can support the long-distance,long-capacity transmission of electric energy.However,factors such as topology,control strategy,and short-circuit capacities make the traditional protection principles not fully applicable to LCC-VSC hybrid transmission systems.To enhance the reliability of hybrid DC systems,a single-ended principle based on transmission coefficients is proposed and produced.First,the equivalent circuit of the LCC-VSC hybrid DC system is analyzed and the expression of the first traveling wave is deduced accordingly.Then,the concept of multi-frequency transmission coefficients is proposed by analyzing the amplitude-frequency,and the characteristics of each element.Finally,the LCC-VSCDC system model is built to verify the reliability and superiority of the principle itself.Theoretical analysis and experimental verification show that the principle has strong interference resistance.

High Impedance Fault Detection Based on Attention Mechanism and Object Identification

Detection of high impedance faults(HIFs)has been traditionally a main challenge in the protection of distribution systems,since they do not generate enough current to be reliably detected by conventional over-current relays.Data-based methods are alternative HIF detection methods which avoid threshold settings by training a classification or regression model.However,most of them lack interpretability and are not compatible with various distribution networks.This paper proposes an object detection-based HIF detection method,which has higher visualization and can be easily applied to different scenarios.First,based on the analysis of HIFs,a Butterworth band-pass filter is designed for HIF harmonic feature extraction.Subsequently,based on the synchronized data provided by distribution-level phasor measurement units,global HIF feature gray-scale images are formed through combining the topology information of the distribution network.To further enhance the feature information,a locally excitatory globally inhibitory oscillator region attention mechanism(LEGIO-RAM)is proposed to highlight the critical feature regions and inhibit useless and fake information.Finally,an object detection network based You Only Look Once(YOLO)v2 is established to achieve fast HIF detection and section location.The obtained results from the simulation of the proposed approach on three different distribution networks and one realistic distribution network verify that the proposed method is highly effective in terms of reliability and generalization.

Clavukoelloids A—M,Thirteen Rare N-Containing Nardosinane Type Sesquiterpenoids from the Soft Coral Clavularia koellikeri

Thirteen new nitrogen-containing nardosinane-type sesquiterpenoids,clavukoelloids A-M(1-13)with unique acrylamide fragments vs.the reported general nardosinane-type sesquiterpenoids containing lactone,were isolated from the soft coral Clavularia koellikeri collected from the South China Sea.The structures and absolute configurations of new compounds were unambiguously determined by analysis of spectroscopic data,CP3,DP4+,ECD spectra,and X-ray diffraction.Compound 6 showed anti-inflammatory activities and hepatoprotective activities in transgenic fluorescent zebrafish.

A new coordinated backup protection scheme for distribution network containing distributed generation

This paper proposes a new backup protection scheme,named coordinated backup protection(CBP)scheme,for distribution networks containing distributed generation.The proposed protection scheme takes into account the issues faced by traditional backup protection,such as difficulty in setting parameters and complex cooperation,and considers the features of distribution networks,such as changeable power flow because of high penetration of distributed generation sources and insufficient measuring quantities.The CBP scheme includes two aspects:coordinated substation protection and regional master substation protection,who also work as nearby backup protection and remote backup protection respectively.The two protections support each other by local information coordination and regional information sharing,in order to improve the reliability of fault identification.The configuration principles and performances of the proposed backup protection scheme are addressed in the paper.Different fault conditions in the IEEE 14-node system have been used to illustrate and verify the feasibility of the CBP scheme.

Distributed Protection for Smart Substations Based on Multiple Overlapping Units

Taking advantage of the information sharing mechanism in smart substations,a distributed protection based on multiple overlapping units is introduced in this paper.The area division and the construction of protection units are studied based on the principle of differential protection.Mutual perception and information interaction among units,calculation with multisource information and coordinated protection schemes are proposed to improve the reliability and adaptability of the substation protection system.A multi agent system(MAS)approach is used to model the units’working process in various situations,such as communication failure and sampled data failure.Test results demonstrate that the method can accelerate the backup protection as well as reduce the power-off range.
