Abstract

The traditional inverse-time overcurrent (ITOC) protection setting method relies on a fixed topology, and the setting workload in large-scale networks is very large and difficult to adapt to topology changes. An adaptive fault identification (AFI) scheme is proposed, which is applicable to ring or large networks, and does not require prior knowledge of the primary/backup coordination relationships between relays or the stepwise setting of inverse-time characteristic parameters. First, the positive sequence fault component voltages (PSFCVs) with natural distribution characteristics is analyzed. By utilizing the communication channels in existing wide-area protection systems (WAPS), only the protection action signal (PAS) of primary protection is transmitted, generating a fault tree that automatically reflects the relationship between each relay and the fault point. Secondly, a user-defined inverse-time characteristic equation (ITCE) and an online adaptive method for setting parameters are provided. The calculated tripping time depends solely on the parameters of the individual lines. Finally, an IEEE 30-bus test system is built in PSCAD/EMTDC to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme under different network topologies and when distributed generation (DG) is connected.

期刊介绍： Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components, orginal application of existing knowledge or new designapproaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal purview. • Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation. • Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV (ac and dc) to network operation and protection, line routing and design. • Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems. • Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids. • The utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques. • Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.
