Description

  The present invention relates to a grid interconnection protection device applied to a regular power generation apparatus that performs reverse power flow linked to an AC power system of a commercial power source.

  A grid interconnection protection device has been used as a device that protects a common power generation apparatus (in-house power generation apparatus) such as a garbage power generation system and cogeneration system and an AC power system.

  FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram of a conventional grid connection protection device in a case where a customer performs operation by grid connection of this type of common power generator and an AC power system.

  As shown in the figure, in the upper substation 4 that is an AC power system, the voltage of the system power supply 1 is stepped down via the transformer 2 and the electric power from the upper substation 4 side is distributed to the customer through the circuit breaker 3. Electric power is supplied to the general consumer 7 by the distribution line 26. The general consumer 7 consumes electric power with the load 6B through the circuit breaker 5B.

  On the other hand, in the distributed power supply installation customer 9 in which the common power generator and the grid connection protection device 20 are installed, the output of the synchronous generator 10 driven by the prime mover 24 as the regular power generator is connected to the circuit breaker 28 and the circuit breaker 12. Via the upper substation 4

  Control of the output voltage of the synchronous generator 10 is performed by controlling the voltage of the field winding 23 of the synchronous generator 10 by an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) 22 which is voltage control means of the synchronous generator. The output frequency of the machine 10 is controlled by controlling the output of the prime mover 24 with a speed governor (not shown) of the prime mover 24 that drives the synchronous generator 10.

  Moreover, in the distributed power supply installation customer 9, the electric power from the upper substation 4 side is received through the circuit breaker 12 and the circuit breaker 5A, and the electric power from the synchronous generator 10 is transmitted through the circuit breaker 28 and the circuit breaker 5A. Receiving and loading (in-house load) 6A.

  On the other hand, the grid connection protection device 20 is provided with a current transformer 14 and an instrument transformer 38 as voltage detection means on the synchronous generator side of the circuit breaker 12, and an overcurrent is generated based on the output current of the current transformer 14. An overcurrent relay (OC) 15 for detecting the output power of the synchronous generator 10 and the load power of the load 6A when the system power supply 1 is abnormal, particularly when the system power supply 1 is shut off, for example, by opening the circuit breaker 3. A frequency lowering relay (UF) 16, a frequency increasing relay (OF) 17, an overvoltage relay (OV) 18, and an undervoltage relay (UV) 19 are provided to detect that the frequency and voltage become abnormal due to the unbalance of The fault trip circuit 13 is operated based on the detection signals of these protective relays, and a trip signal is output to open the circuit breaker 12 so that the circuit breaker 3 can be closed again.

  In addition to this, as a means for protecting the synchronous generator, a current transformer 11 for detecting the output current is provided on the output side of the synchronous generator 10, and the synchronous generator 10 is based on the output current of the current transformer 11. The overcurrent relay (OC) 51 for detecting the overcurrent of the current generator, the overvoltage relay (OV) 52 for detecting the output voltage abnormality of the synchronous generator 10, the reverse voltage relay (UV) 53 and the reverse power of the synchronous generator 10 A reverse power relay (RPR) 54 for detection is provided, and the fault trip circuit 27 is operated based on the detection signal of each of these protective relays to output a trip signal and open the circuit breaker 28.

  By the way, in such a grid connection protection device, for example, when an abnormality occurs in the system power supply 1 and the circuit breaker 3 is opened, the output power of the synchronous generator 10 and the required power of the loads 6A and 6B are: If both the effective part and the ineffective part are substantially equal, neither the frequency nor the voltage changes, so that none of the protective relays 15 to 19 operate and the operation is continued. This is a phenomenon called so-called islanding (islanding), which causes a problem of preventing reclosing of the circuit breaker 3.

Therefore, conventionally, for the purpose of preventing such an isolated operation, a method of providing a transfer interruption device 8 connected by a dedicated line from the substation 4 and carrying out transfer interruption for the circuit breaker 12 has been adopted. There is something. Such a transfer interrupting device 8 opens a circuit breaker 12 by sending a circuit breaker signal to the circuit breaker 12 when a signal indicating that the circuit breaker 3 of the upper substation 4 is opened is detected.
As an invention related to the transfer blocking device 8, there is, for example, Patent Document 1 shown below.
JP 7-59250 A

  However, this type of transfer interrupting device is very expensive for a small and medium capacity utility power generator with an output of several hundred kW, and it is necessary to install transmission means and a transmission path. The merit of energy cost reduction by installing the device cannot be obtained.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its problem is to reliably and easily detect a single operation of a common power generator in a grid connection on the common power generator side without providing an expensive transfer interruption device. Another object of the present invention is to provide a system interconnection protection device for a power generation device that can be protected in this manner.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1

When the frequency change rate is positive, the output voltage of the synchronous generator is decreased, and when the frequency change rate is negative, a voltage fluctuation signal for increasing the output voltage of the synchronous generator is sent to the synchronous generator. Automatic A voltage fluctuation signal calculator to be output to the pressure regulator, and the circuit breaker is opened when the frequency change rate detected by the frequency change rate calculator exceeds a predetermined value, and the synchronous power generation from the AC power system And a protective means for disconnecting the machine.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a voltage fluctuation amount second calculator for detecting an absolute value of an amount by which the negative half wave of the output voltage signal is changed in the grid interconnection protection device of the utility power generator according to the first aspect. A switch that is turned on when the output of the second calculator of voltage fluctuation amount is smaller than a predetermined value is provided, and the period correction amount according to claim 1 is added.

  According to the grid interconnection protection device of the present invention, the frequency is changed rapidly by promoting the change in the frequency during the single operation, and the single operation is determined when the frequency of the synchronous generator is greatly changed. Therefore, it is possible to reliably and easily detect and protect the independent operation of the common power generator in the grid connection on the common power generator side without providing an expensive transfer interruption device. An interconnection protection device can be obtained.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those of the conventional example of FIG. 9 already described are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted. Only different parts will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the distributed power installation consumer 55 of this embodiment includes a grid interconnection protection device 29. The system interconnection protection device 29 is different from the conventional system interconnection protection device 20 shown in FIG. 9 in that the above-described transfer cutoff device 8 is omitted and the period detection means for the output voltage signal of the synchronous generator 10 is used. A filter circuit 32, a comparator 35, a counting circuit 36, an adder 39, an inverse calculator 37, a voltage fluctuation amount first calculator 30 for calculating the fluctuation amount of the positive half wave of the output voltage signal, The frequency detection means 41 comprising the period correction amount calculator 31 for correcting the period detected by the counting circuit 36 detects the frequency of the output voltage signal of the synchronous generator 10 and the frequency output from the frequency detection means 41. A frequency change rate calculator 42 that calculates a change rate, an excessive change rate determiner 43 that determines whether the frequency change rate is excessive, and a voltage fluctuation signal calculator 44 that outputs a voltage fluctuation signal to the automatic voltage regulator 22. Preparation Is the point you are.

  The filter circuit 32 includes a resistor 33 and a capacitor 34, and removes harmonics contained in the output voltage signal of the synchronous generator 10. Further, the period of the output voltage signal can be detected by detecting the output voltage signal of the synchronous generator 10.

Next, the operation of the voltage fluctuation amount first computing unit 30 and the counting circuit 36 will be described with reference to the characteristic diagram of FIG.
The positive half-wave integrated value of the voltage input to the voltage variation first computing unit 30 the integrated value of the positive-side half wave of S _n, 1 cycle before voltage to the S _n-1 as shown in the waveform of FIG. 2 , the voltage variation first computing unit 30 outputs S _n -S _n-1. The effective value of the voltage is proportional to the integrated value, by calculating the S _n -S _n-1, a value proportional to the voltage variation amount per cycle is obtained. When the comparator circuit 35 and the counter circuit 36 derive a period for the output of the filter 32, the counter circuit 36 sets a period of one period as the rising zero cross section of the output of the filter 32.

The period correction amount computing unit 31, as shown in the characteristic diagram of FIG. 3, it outputs a frequency correction amount proportional to S _n -S _n-1. This correction amount is set to increase the period when the voltage increases, that is, to decrease the frequency value. On the other hand, when the voltage decreases, the cycle is decreased, that is, the frequency value is increased.

  The adder 39 adds the period correction amount to the period output from the counting circuit 36. As will be described later, the effect of this correction is to promote the function of detecting an isolated operation.

  FIG. 4 is a simplified diagram of FIG. 1 for explaining the operation of the grid interconnection protection apparatus according to the present embodiment, and the same parts as those in FIG. The load 6 is a load obtained by combining the load 6A and the load B, and represents the entire load existing in the distribution system.

Now, in FIG. 4, if the active power of the output from the synchronous generator 10 is P, the reactive power is Q, the active power required by the load 6 is P _L , and the reactive power is Q _L , the effective power flowing out to the system power source 1 The electric power ΔQ is expressed as the following equation (1).

ΔP = P−P _L
ΔQ = Q−Q _L (1)
Here, the voltage of the load 6 is V and the frequency is f.

  As a result, even when the circuit breaker 3 is opened in a state close to ΔP≈0 and ΔQ≈0 in the normal case, the voltage V and the frequency f of the load 6 hardly change, so that each of the protective relays 15 to 19 can be detected. Therefore, the single operation will be continued.

  However, because the phase difference between the system power supply 1 and the load 6 is slowly shifted due to a slight frequency difference, the reintroduction of the circuit breaker 3 leads to an accident expansion and a dangerous state, which decreases the stability of the distribution system. It will be.

The principle of detecting the independent operation of the synchronous generator 10 will be described below.
In FIG. 4, the active power P _L of the load 6 is P _L = V ² / R (2)
(V: Voltage, R: Resistance value)
It is represented by

The voltage fluctuation signal calculator 44 incorporates a function as shown in FIG. 5 as an example, and is based on the frequency change rate detected by the frequency change rate calculator 42. When the frequency change rate is positive, the output voltage of the synchronous generator is decreased, and when the frequency change rate is negative, a voltage fluctuation signal for increasing the output voltage of the synchronous generator is output to the automatic voltage regulator 22. . (AV ^* : voltage signal, df / dt: frequency change rate)
Here, a case where the frequency slightly decreases during the independent operation of the synchronous generator 10 is considered.

  The frequency change rate is a negative number and a very small value. At this time, the voltage fluctuation signal calculator 44 outputs a voltage fluctuation signal so that the voltage of the synchronous generator 10 is slightly increased. The voltage rises by the action of the automatic voltage regulator 22.

Then, since the active power P _{L of the} load expressed by the above equation (2) increases, the torque of the load increases and acts on the rotational speed of the synchronous generator 10, that is, the frequency decreases. A positive feedback action is formed, which reduces frequency fluctuations.

Further, the above-described period correction amount calculator 31 has an effect of lowering the frequency when the voltage rises, and therefore has an effect of further promoting the fluctuation of the frequency.
The frequency fluctuation due to the voltage fluctuation signal increases as the voltage fluctuation signal increases.

  If the system is connected to the grid, even if the voltage command to the automatic voltage regulator 22 is changed, the frequency is controlled by the system power supply 1 so that it does not change. Therefore, the frequency fluctuates greatly and the frequency change rate increases. When the frequency change rate exceeds a predetermined determination value, the change rate excessive determination unit 43 determines that the operation is independent. This makes it possible to determine the isolated operation.

If it is determined that the isolated operation, outputs an abnormality signal V _31.
In the fault trip circuit 13, the circuit breaker 12 is shut off by the abnormal signal V ₃₁ and the synchronous generator 10 is disconnected.

  This makes it possible to detect an isolated operation on the side of the regular power generation device without using the transfer interruption device 8 that has been conventionally used.

  As described above, in the system interconnection protection device of the power generator according to the first embodiment, the frequency is detected from the output voltage signal of the regular power generator, the frequency change rate (df / dt) is calculated, and the frequency change rate is calculated. Is positive, the voltage of the synchronous generator 10 is changed in the decreasing direction. The period correction amount calculator 31 shortens the period when the synchronous generator 10 is decreasing. In other words, the correction is made to increase the frequency, and the frequency change rate is encouraged to change in the positive direction. Therefore, the voltage of the synchronous generator 10 is further decreased during the single operation, and the frequency changes quickly. ing.

  On the contrary, when the frequency change rate is negative, the voltage of the synchronous generator 10 is changed in the increasing direction, contrary to the above. The period correction amount calculator 31 lengthens the period when the voltage of the synchronous generator 10 is increasing. In other words, correction is performed to lower the frequency, and the frequency change rate is encouraged to change in the negative direction. Therefore, the voltage of the synchronous generator 10 further increases during single operation, and the frequency changes quickly. ing.

  In the grid connection protection device of the present embodiment, since it is determined that the operation is independent when the frequency of the synchronous generator greatly changes, without providing an expensive transfer interruption device 8 as described above, It becomes possible to reliably and easily detect the independent operation of the common power generator in the grid connection on the side of the common power generator and to disconnect and protect the synchronous generator 10.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram of the grid interconnection protection device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those of the first embodiment of FIG. Only the part will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the system interconnection protection device according to this embodiment is different from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that a voltage fluctuation amount second calculator 46 and a switch 47 are provided.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the waveform diagram of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, when the integrated value of the voltage half load wave is S _n ′, and the integrated value of the negative half wave of the voltage one cycle before is S _n−1 ′, the voltage fluctuation amount second calculator 46 the S _n absolute value of the '-S _n-1' | outputs the _{| S n '-S n-1} '.

  When the filter circuit 32, the comparator 35, and the counting circuit 36 detect the period of the output voltage of the synchronous generator, if the output voltage of the synchronous generator fluctuates, a direct current component is temporarily included in the output signal of the filter circuit 32. As a result, an error occurs in the detection value of the cycle. The error differs depending on the phase in which the input voltage to the filter circuit 32 fluctuates, and is as shown in FIG. The phase on the horizontal axis in FIG. 8 is the timing at which the voltage fluctuates, and is based on the rising zero-cross timing of the input voltage of the filter circuit 32 as shown in FIG.

Here, since the DC component is attenuated after the voltage fluctuation occurs, the voltage fluctuation timing at which the error increases and the voltage fluctuation timing at which the difference between S _n ′ and S _n−1 ′ in FIG. I know you will.

Therefore, the error of the period is corrected when the absolute value | S _n ′ −S _n−1 ′ | is smaller than a predetermined value. When the absolute value | S _n ′ −S _n−1 ′ | is smaller than a predetermined value, the switch 47 is turned on and the output of the period correction amount calculator 31 is added by the adder 39. When the absolute value | S _n ′ −S _n−1 ′ | is smaller than a predetermined value, a cycle correction amount proportional to S _n −S _n−1 is added to correct a cycle error.

  According to the grid interconnection protection device of the present embodiment, as in the grid interconnection protection device according to the first embodiment, when the frequency of the synchronous generator greatly changes, it is determined that the single operation is performed. In this way, the synchronous generator 10 is disconnected and protected by reliably and easily detecting the independent operation of the utility generator in the grid connection without providing the expensive transfer interrupting device 8 as in FIG. Is possible.

  In the present embodiment, since the frequency detection means corrects the period detection error, the frequency can be detected more accurately than in the first embodiment. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably detect the single operation while preventing the erroneous operation that is erroneously determined as the single operation.
