Residual current compensation for single-phase grounding fault in coal mine power network

The way of neutral point to earth via full compensation arc suppression coil can solve the problem of residual current compensation in coal mine power network effectively. Based on the analysis on the grounding current detection results of Xieqiao coal mine, the conclusion that harmonic component of grounding current is dominated by higher harmonics with complex harmonic sources in coal mine power network system was obtained. The influences of harmonic source type and fault point position on harmonic voltage and harmonic current were analyzed theoretically. The influences of earthed fault feeder detection result and the estimation errors of parameters to earth on residual current compensation were analyzed. A new thought of residual current prediction and the selections of model method and control method were proposed on this basis. The simulation results prove that harmonic amplitudes of zero sequence voltage and zero sequence current are determined by harmonic source type as well as fault point position in coal mine power network, and also prove that zero sequence voltage detection can avoid the unstable problem of coal mine power network system caused by undercompensation of capacitive current. Finally, the experimental device of full compensation arc suppression coil is introduced.

Current source inverter(CSI)is a class of power electronic converters that,thanks to the inherent boost capability and ease of control,is investigated for grid-tied photovoltaic power conversion applications.Traditional CSI and CSI7 topologies are here analyzed and compared with two kind of space vector modulation strategies mainly in terms of ground leakage current both in simulations and experiments.Furthermore,THD of the injected grid current and the computation of conduction and switching semiconductor power losses are also carried out in numerical simulations.The topology comparison is carried out with the use of a different number of PV modules,to analyze the robustness of the topologies to different size of the PV strings.Simulation and experimental results show that the CSI7 topology,with respect to conventional CSI,allows to strongly reduce ground leakage current,phase current THD and semicondutor power losses,at the price of an additional power device.
