文摘The emergence of distributed generators has changed the operational mode and fault characteristics of the distribu-tion network,in a way which can severely influence protection.This paper proposes a d-axis-based current differential protection scheme.The d-axis current characteristics of inverter-interfaced distributed generators and synchronous generators are analyzed.The differential protection criterion using sampling values of the d-axis current component is then constructed.Compared to conventional phase-based current differential protection,the proposed protection reduces the number of required communication channels,and is suitable for distribution networks with inverter-interfaced distributed generators with complex fault characteristics.Finally,a 10 kV active distribution network model is built in the PSCAD platform and protection prototypes are developed in RTDS.Superior sensitivity and fast speed are verified by simulation and RTDS-based tests.
