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.

Dynamic physical characteristics of DC arc on arcing horn for HVDC grounding electrode line

The dynamic physical characteristics of a DC arc on an arcing horn for a high voltage direct current(HVDC)grounding electrode line are significantly different from those of the switching device arc,secondary arc,AC fault arc and pantograph-catenary arc.In this work,an experimental platform for the DC arc on the arcing horn was built,and mechanisms of the arc column short circuit and arc root movement were studied.This work further analyzes the characteristics and mechanisms of the arc motion when wind speed and direction,magnetic field and the expansion angle of the electrode are varied.Arc root movement is more likely to occur at the upper electrode.There is a competitive relationship between arc expansion and the transferring effect.The effect of wind on the arc column is greater than the effect on the arc root.The magnetic field has a significant driving effect on both the arc column and the arc root.The research results provide a comprehensive experimental basis for forther probing the method of DC arc suppression,and the improvement of the arcing horn.

Single-phase earth fault current distribution between optical fiber composite overhead ground wire and ordinary ground wire in transmission system

It is important for the safety of transmission system to accurately calculate single-phase earth fault current distribution.Features of double sided elimination method were illustrated.Quantitative calculation of single-phase earth fault current distribution and case verification were accomplished by using the loop method.Influences of some factors,such as single-phase earth fault location and ground resistance of poles,on short-circuit current distribution were discussed.Results show that:1) results of the loop method conform to those of double sided elimination method;2) the fault location hardly influences macro-distribution of short-circuit current.However,current near fault location is evidently influenced;and 3) the short-circuit current distribution is not so sensitive to the ground resistance of poles.

Fault Line Selection Method Considering Grounding Fault Angle for Distribution Network

In the distribution network system with its neutral point grounding via arc suppression coil, when single-phase grounding fault occurred near zero-crossing point of the phase voltage, the inaccuracy of the line selection always existed in existing methods. According to the characteristics that transient current was different between the fault feeder and other faultless feeders, wavelet transformation was performed on data of the transient current within a power frequency cycle after the fault occurred. Based on different fault angles, wavelet energy in corresponding frequency band was chosen to compare. The result was that wavelet energy in fault feeder was the largest of all, and it was larger than sum of those in other faultless feeders, when the bus broke down, the disparity between each wavelet energy was not significant. Fault line could be selected out by the criterion above. The results of MATLAB/simulink simulation experiment indicated that this method had anti-interference capacity and was feasible.

Protection of Zero-Sequence Power Variation in Mountain Wind Farm Collector Lines Based on Multi-Mode Grounding

The arc-suppression coil(ASC)in parallel low resistance(LR)multi-mode grounding is adopted in the mountain wind farm to cope with the phenomenon that is misoperation or refusal of zero-sequence protection in LR grounding wind farm.If the fault disappears before LR is put into the system,it is judged as an instantaneous fault;while the fault does not disappear after LR is put into the system,it is judged as a permanent fault;the single-phase grounding fault(SLG)protection criterion based on zerosequence power variation is proposed to identify the instantaneous-permanent fault.Firstly,the distribution characteristic of zero-sequence voltage(ZSV)and zero-sequence current(ZSC)are analyzed after SLGfault occurs in multi-mode grounding.Then,according to the characteristics that zero-sequence power variation of non-fault collector line is small,while the zero-sequence power variation of fault collector line can reflect the active power component of fault resistance,the protection criterion based on zero-sequence power variation is constructed.The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the protection criterion can distinguish the property of fault only by using the single terminal information,which has high reliability.

Fault protection method of single-phase break for distribution network considering the influence of neutral grounding modes

With the rapid development of modern distribution network and the access of distributed generation,the network structure is becoming increasingly complex.Frequent single-phase break faults have seriously affected equipment and personal safety and stable operation of the power system.However,with the development and application of the composite neutral grounding modes,the protection of single-phase break fault is facing new challenges.This paper proposes a protection method of single-phase break fault for distribution network considering the influence of neutral grounding modes.The characteristics of neutral voltage and sequence current are analyzed under normal operation and single-phase break fault with different grounding modes.Following this,the protection criterion based on neutral voltage and sequence current variation is constructed.The protection method of singlephase break fault for distribution network is proposed,which is applicable for various neutral grounding modes.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the protection method is less affected by system asymmetry,fault location and load distribution.The method has higher sensitivity,reliability and adaptability.

Multiple Random Forests Based Intelligent Location of Single-phase Grounding Fault in Power Lines of DFIG-based Wind Farm

To address the problems of wind power abandonment and the stoppage of electricity transmission caused by a short circuit in a power line of a doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG) based wind farm, this paper proposes an intelligent location method for a single-phase grounding fault based on a multiple random forests(multi-RF) algorithm. First, the simulation model is built, and the fundamental amplitudes of the zerosequence currents are extracted by a fast Fourier transform(FFT) to construct the feature set. Then, the random forest classification algorithm is applied to establish the fault section locator. The model is resampled on the basis of the bootstrap method to generate multiple sample subsets, which are used to establish multiple classification and regression tree(CART) classifiers. The CART classifiers use the mean decrease in the node impurity as the feature importance,which is used to mine the relationship between features and fault sections. Subsequently, a fault section is identified by voting on the test results for each classifier. Finally, a multi-RF regression fault locator is built to output the predicted fault distance. Experimental results with PSCAD/EMTDC software show that the proposed method can overcome the shortcomings of a single RF and has the advantage of locating a short hybrid overhead/cable line with multiple branches. Compared with support vector machines(SVMs)and previously reported methods, the proposed method can meet the location accuracy and efficiency requirements of a DFIG-based wind farm better.

Comparison between open phase fault of arc suppression coil and single phase to earth fault in coal mine distribution network

When, in a coal mine distribution network whose neutral point is grounded by an arc suppression coil (ASC), a fault occurs in the ASC, compensation cannot be properly realized. Furthermore, it can damage the safe and reliable run of the network. We first introduce a three-phase five-column arc suppression coil (TPFCASC) and discuss its autotracking compensation theory. Then we compare the single phase to ground fault of the coal mine distribution network with an open phase fault at the TPFCASC using the Thévenin theory, the symmetrical-component method and the complex sequence network respectively. The results show that, in both types of faults, zero-sequence voltage of the network will appear and the maximum magnitude of this zero-sequence voltage is different in both faults. Based on this situation, a protection for the open phase fault at the TPFCASC should be estab-lished.

配电网间歇性重燃电弧模型的建立与断续弧光接地故障特征分析研究

电弧间歇性重燃是配电网单相接地故障最显著的特征。现有的电弧模型甚少考虑电弧间歇性重燃特性,导致无法精确描述断续弧光接地特征,进而影响继电保护动作。为此,论文提出一种间歇性重燃电弧模型的建立方法,并在此基础上对断续弧光接地故障特征进行了分析。弧道阻抗的随机变化是电弧间歇性重燃的重要标志,故论文重点围绕弧道阻抗变化的随机性和重燃时间间隔的随机性开展间歇性重燃电弧模型的研究。黑盒电弧模型中,Cassie-Mayr联合模型能完整的描述电弧电流从大电流到小电流的变化过程,但存在从大电流变化为小电流的判据模糊,转换过程突变的问题。为此,论文通过引入连续过渡函数解决上述问题。同时,为描述弧道电阻的变化特性,利用Fermi函数对联合模型中Mayr模型和Cassie模型进行权重分配。以改进的Cassie-Mayr单次燃弧模型为基础,根据工频熄弧理论,通过设置燃弧时间长短表征间歇性重燃的随机性,从而建立了间歇性重燃电弧模型。利用该模型,对典型10kV配电网单辐射型网架结构的接地故障进行模拟仿真,采用快速傅里叶变换(fast Fourier transform,FFT)和小波包分析提取了不同条件下故障电压、电流、高次谐波、零序分量以及频率分布等故障特征。研究结果表明:改进后Cassie-Mayr联合模型不但解决了电弧电流从大电流到小电流的转换突变问题,且不同模型权重占比的分配更能准确地表征实际燃弧弧道阻抗变化的随机性;通过设置电弧燃弧时间长短,准确地描述间歇性重燃的随机性;电弧断续时刻为非整数周期下的过电压、过电流幅值高于整数周期;电缆线路增大了故障线路电流,过电流可达3.81~7.20pu,不利于熄弧;大电流系统故障相零序电流主频在0~400Hz,小电流系统故障相零序电流主频在1200~1600Hz。
