Description

  The present invention relates to a ground fault protection system for a power distribution system and a method thereof in a case where a loop system is configured for the purpose of facilitating voltage stability and response to demand fluctuation in the power distribution system.

  Currently, the form of supplying power to consumers by looping the distribution system has not been practically used. Recently, however, the need for supply to large customers exceeding the transmission capacity limit of distribution lines has increased, and the need to ensure the stability of voltage against fluctuations in demand by installing distributed power sources. There has been a demand for loops in the distribution system.

  When the distribution system is a loop system, it is important to select an accident line at the loop point when a loop system fault occurs. If the line selection cannot be performed accurately before the protection relay on the substation side operates, all loop lines are cut off at the power substation side, and the customer receiving power in the loop system loses power. There is a problem.

  Furthermore, when a loop system is configured using a plurality of distribution lines, a zero-phase return current caused by the load current flows to the loop system due to an imbalance in the impedance of each phase of the distribution lines, and this zero-phase return current is If it is large, there is a problem in that it causes an illegal operation of the ground fault direction relay.

  As a technique for protecting such a loop system, there is one proposed in Patent Document 1. However, this technology is short-circuit accident detection, which changes the fault detection and shut-off method at the substation according to the system configuration between the dendritic distribution line and the distribution system configured in the loop system. Since it cannot be shut off, the entire loop system will be cut off.

  In the case of a loop system, it is not necessary to change the protection method of the substation if the accident detection interruption at the loop point is appropriately performed in cooperation with the protection device of the substation. Further, in the case of parallel multi-line protection in an extra high voltage power transmission line, there is a method described in Non-Patent Document 1. As shown in FIG. 14, the difference current between the two lines is almost zero at the time of the external fault F1 of the parallel two lines, and the current that flows through the fault line rather than the current IB that flows through the healthy line at the time of the internal fault F2. This is based on the fact that IA is larger.

JP 2004-254369 A "Electrical Engineering Handbook 6th Edition" The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, February 20, 2001, 19 editions "Protection relay and monitoring control device 1.2.3 circuit selection protection relay"

  However, the parallel multi-line protection method described above is based on the premise that the impedances of the two-line transmission lines are almost the same. When the line types are different as in the case of distribution lines, the lengths are different. It cannot be adopted when a general distribution line is configured with a loop of 3 lines and 4 lines.

  Eventually, when the distribution line is configured as a loop system, a zero-phase circulating current due to an unbalanced impedance of each phase of the distribution line flows in the loop system, obstructing the operation of the ground fault direction relay, and erroneously selecting the accident line .

  The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and the object thereof is not affected by the zero-phase circulating current caused by the loop system, and constitutes a loop. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ground fault protection system for a distribution system and a method thereof capable of accurately detecting and selectively shutting down a distribution line accident and reducing the minimum power failure range.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a distribution system in which a plurality of distribution lines connected to a power supply substation are supplied in a loop configuration via a loop point (connection line) circuit breaker. In the ground fault protection system, the extraction means for extracting the zero-phase current and zero-phase voltage of the power supply substation terminal, the zero-phase current of the loop point (connection line), and the amount of electricity obtained from the extraction means, A collective accident judging means for introducing a zero phase current and a zero phase voltage of a power supply substation terminal of a distribution line constituting the loop and collectively judging whether or not there is an accident in a plurality of distribution lines constituting the loop; Of the quantity of electricity obtained from the extracting means, the zero-phase current at the power substation terminal and the zero-phase current at the loop point are introduced for each individual line of the distribution lines constituting the loop, and the fault line is identified. Individual line judging means and the collective accident judging means And the introducing operation signals from both of the line individually determining means, characterized in that and a fault line detecting means for outputting a cutoff command to the loop point breaker.

  In the present invention as described above, using the zero-phase current and zero-phase voltage of the power supply substation terminal and the loop point in the distribution line constituting the loop, the accident that occurred in the loop system is detected in the distribution line collectively, By detecting the distribution line where the accident occurred individually, the sensitivity of accident detection can be increased without being affected by the zero-phase circulating current caused by the loop system. Therefore, the accident line can be selected accurately and blocked.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is not affected by the zero-phase circulating current caused by the loop system, and it accurately detects and selectively shuts down the distribution line accident that constitutes the loop, thereby minimizing power outage. It is possible to provide a ground fault protection system and a method for a distribution line that can be in a range.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as an embodiment) will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[Configuration example of loop system]
First, an example of a loop system to which each embodiment described below is applied will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 2, 10 is a ground fault protection device, 101 is an input circuit (input) for inputting the outputs of the current transformers 6A and 6B and the voltage transformers 7A and 7B of the lines and connection lines constituting the loop to the ground fault protection device 10.

In FIG. 2, the method of introducing the output of 7B is shown, but a method of using the output of 7A without using the output of 7B or a method of using no output of voltage for 104 is possible. In the following explanation diagrams, explanation will be given with reference to the case of introducing the output of 7B.

  105, an accident line selection circuit (accident line detection) that selects (detects) an accident line and outputs a cut-off command based on the fault detection condition of the loop system by the collective accident determination circuit 103 and the determination result of the individual line determination circuit 104; Means). 106 is a signal which gives the interruption | blocking command to the circuit breaker concerning an accident distribution line.

  In FIG. 2, the input to the input circuit 101 is such that the outputs of the transformers 6A, 6B, 7A, and 7B are obtained via the transmission device. With respect to the transmission medium used in the above transmission apparatus, any wired or wireless medium can be applied, and it does not matter what LAN or WAN is used. Any communication protocol that can be used at present or in the future can be applied.

  For convenience of explanation, reference numerals 102 to 105 are “circuits”. However, when processing is performed by a digital relay, these functions can be realized by software processing of a computer. Therefore, “... Circuit” may be expressed as “... Unit” or “.

The medium alone is one embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, for example, the present invention can be configured by installing an application program in a personal computer.

[Action]
The operation of the present embodiment as described above is as follows.
[Zero-phase reflux current]
First, before describing the operation of the present embodiment, the current flowing through the loop line in the event of a ground fault will be described with reference to FIG. In order to simplify the explanation, for example, the accident is assumed to be a 100% ground fault. It is assumed that the currents Ias, Ica, Icb, and Icc due to the respective ground capacitances shown in FIG. 3 indicate the zero-phase current 3I ₀ value at the time of 100% ground fault.

Here, Ias is a zero-phase current based on the ground charging current as seen from the power supply bus excluding the loop system. The current symbol shown in FIG. 3 indicates the value of the zero-phase current 3I ₀ at each terminal, and the current direction is based on the direction shown in the figure.

  The impedance of each distribution line is given by the symbols shown in the figure. The zero-phase return current in the normal state due to the load current circulates in the loop system depending on the magnitude of the load current (IL = ILa + ILb + ILc) flowing through the loop distribution line due to the unbalanced impedance of each phase of the distribution line. This magnitude is approximately 1 to 2% of the load current when the load current is in a three-phase balanced state and the impedance imbalance is approximately 5%.

  This magnitude is several times the magnitude of the grid-to-ground charging current, leading to incorrect operation of the ground fault direction relay. In addition, there is a method that adopts the ratio differential protection method for each line of the distribution lines that make up the loop, but in this case as well, in the event of an external accident, this zero-phase circulating current becomes the inflow / outflow current, resulting in an error in the current transformer. If this is taken into account, high sensitivity cannot be achieved, and the internal accident sensitivity is greatly reduced.

  Here, the zero-phase circulating currents flowing in the A line, the B line, and the C line are Iath, Ibth, and Icth, and Iath = Ibth + Icth, and the current of each terminal and each connecting line at the time of 100% ground fault is roughly calculated. Examples are shown in Table 1. The loop collective current I is a power supply substation terminal and means Iaa + Iab + Iac. The connection line current for individual determination uses Iba for the A line, -Iba + Ibb for the B line, and -Ibb for the C line.

  As can be seen from Table 1, the difference current Id of the external accident is only outflow of the total charging current in the loop system in the collective judgment, and out of the charging current of the line in the individual judgment for each line. . In the case of an internal accident, the difference current Id is the charge current behind the substation by collective judgment regardless of the fault point, and in the individual judgment, the fault line is a current excluding the internal charge current of the fault line. A healthy line in the loop system causes the internal charging current of the line to flow out.

[Ground fault protection treatment]
Next, the effect | action of this embodiment is demonstrated with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. The output of each line current conversion device 102 obtained by converting the secondary currents of the current transformers 6Aa, 6Ab, 6Ac, 6Ba, 6Bb is defined as currents Iaa, Iab, Iac, Iba, Ibb. The voltage transformer 7A, 7Ba, the output of the converter 102 of the zero-phase voltage obtained from 7Bb to _{V 0.} The same applies to the description of other embodiments below.

  In this embodiment, the above-described current and voltage obtained via the converter 102 are used to detect the loop system fault by the collective fault determination circuit 103 without being affected by the zero-phase circulating current. Further, the current / voltage for each individual line of the distribution lines constituting the loop system is also determined by the line individual determination circuit 104 by using the current / voltage obtained through the converter 102. When both the output of the collective accident determination circuit 103 and the output of the individual line determination circuit 104 are established, the accident line selection circuit 105 sends the interruption command 106 to the circuit breaker associated with the distribution line, and the loop point Shut off.

  Thereafter, an accident detection relay (not shown) of the substation terminal that cooperates with the consumer protection device cuts off the circuit breaker of the substation terminal to remove the accident. Even if the device of the present invention is used for the device that performs the substation-side interruption or the interruption by the ground fault direction relay as in the past, it can be realized because it can coordinate with the protection equipment of the customer in time. In the following embodiments, description of the method for shutting off the substation terminal is omitted.

[effect]
According to the present embodiment as described above, the collective fault judgment circuit 103 performs the collective fault judgment not affected by the zero-phase circulating current, and the line individual judgment circuit 104 performs the fault of the distribution line in the loop system. By determining the line individually, it is possible to determine the accident line with high sensitivity even in the loop system. Therefore, it is possible to accurately detect an accident in the distribution lines constituting the loop, selectively cut off, and minimize the power failure range.

[Second Embodiment]
[Constitution]
The ground fault protection apparatus of the 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated with reference to FIG.4, FIG.5 and FIG.6. Since this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment described above, description of the same components will be omitted.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the collective accident determination circuit 103 of this embodiment includes a current determination circuit 103a, a voltage determination circuit 103b, and an AND circuit 103d. The current determination circuit 103a is a circuit that generates an output when this value Its = Iaa + Iab + Iac is larger than a predetermined value k0 by adding the line currents Iaa, Iab, Iac of the distribution lines constituting the loop of the power supply substation terminal. is there. Voltage determination circuit 103b may or zero-phase voltage V ₀ is above a predetermined value, a circuit for producing an output.

  The AND circuit 103d is an AND circuit of the current determination circuit 103a and the voltage determination circuit 103b. Therefore, the collective accident determination circuit 103 is configured to generate an output when the conditions of the current determination circuit 103a and the voltage determination circuit 103b are both satisfied. 5 and 6 show examples of determination characteristics of the current determination circuit 103a and the voltage determination circuit 103b.

[Action]
The operation of the present embodiment as described above will be described. Only the operation of the collective accident determination circuit 103 different from the first embodiment will be described. That is, the vector addition of the power source substation terminal currents of the distribution lines constituting the loop system becomes the accident current and the charge current as the zero-phase return current is canceled as described above.

  This vector-added value Its is the total charging current in the loop system in the case of an external accident, and in the case of an internal accident, the value obtained by subtracting the charging current in the loop system from the charging current of the entire system. Become. Therefore, if this added value Its is larger than the charging current (for example, the predetermined value k0) in the loop system, it can be determined that the loop system has an accident.

In addition, in the event of a ground fault, the zero-phase voltage V ₀ is always generated, and in order to reliably detect the accident, the fact that V ₀ has occurred over a predetermined value (for example, kv) is taken into account. Accidents can be determined. The condition regarding the zero-phase voltage V ₀ is not necessarily essential for the collective accident determination circuit 103.

[effect]
According to the present embodiment as described above, the collective accident determination circuit 103 performs AND of the output of the current determination circuit 103a and the output of the voltage determination circuit 103b to perform collective accident determination that is not affected by the zero-phase circulating current. By doing so, it is possible to determine the accident line with high sensitivity even in the loop system. Therefore, it is possible to accurately detect an accident in the distribution line, selectively cut off, and minimize the power outage range.

[Third Embodiment]
[Constitution]
The ground fault protection apparatus of the 3rd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. Since this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment described above, description of the same components will be omitted.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the collective accident determination circuit 103 of this embodiment includes a current determination circuit 103a, a phase determination circuit 103c, and an AND circuit 103d. The current determination circuit 103a is a circuit that adds a vector to each line current of the distribution lines constituting the loop of the power supply substation terminal and generates an output when the added value Its is larger than a predetermined value k0. The phase determination circuit 103c is a circuit that generates an output if the phase difference λ between the added current value Its and V ₀ is within a predetermined value (θ1 <λ <θ2).

  The AND circuit 103d is an AND circuit of the current determination circuit 103a and the phase determination circuit 103c. Therefore, the collective accident determination circuit 103 is configured to generate an output when the conditions of the current determination circuit 103a and the phase determination circuit 103c are both satisfied. FIG. 8 shows an example of determination characteristics of such a phase determination circuit 103c. In the figure, α represents the maximum sensitivity angle.

[Action]
The operation of the present embodiment as described above will be described. Only the operation of the collective accident determination circuit 103 different from the first embodiment will be described. That is, the vector addition of the power source substation terminal currents of the distribution lines constituting the loop system becomes the accident current and the charge current as the zero-phase return current is canceled as described above.

If the addition value Its obtained by vector addition is larger than the charging current in the loop system, it can be determined that the loop system has an accident. However, since the entire charging current in the loop system becomes the added value Its at the time of an external accident, high sensitivity cannot be expected when the charging current in the loop system is large. Here, the accident in the loop system when an accident outside the loop, V ₀ and Its phase is reversed phases. Therefore, in the present embodiment, accident determination is also performed by determining the phase using the phase determination circuit 103c.

[effect]
According to the present embodiment as described above, the collective accident determination circuit 103 performs AND of the output of the current determination circuit 103a and the output of the phase determination circuit 103c to perform collective accident determination that is not affected by the zero-phase circulating current. By doing so, even if the charging current in the loop system is large and high-sensitivity accident determination based on the current value cannot be expected, reliable accident line determination can be performed with high sensitivity depending on the phase. Therefore, it is possible to accurately detect an accident in the distribution line, selectively cut off, and minimize the power outage range.

[Fourth Embodiment]
[Constitution]
The ground fault protection apparatus of the 4th Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated with reference to FIG. Since this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment described above, description of the same components will be omitted.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the line individual determination circuit 104 of this embodiment includes a differential component calculation circuit 104a and a comparison determination circuit 104b. The differential component calculation circuit 104a is a circuit for obtaining the differential component of the vector sum of the power supply substation terminal current and the connection line current for each line of the distribution lines constituting the loop.

  In this embodiment, when it applies to the system | strain structure shown in FIG. 3, the connection line side electric current uses the electric current of the connection line concerning the said distribution line. For example, the A line is Iba, the B line is -Iba + Ibb, and the C line is -Ibb. The comparison determination circuit 104b is a circuit that compares the magnitudes of the current values Ida, Idb, and Idc added for each line and selects the maximum line. Therefore, a cut-off command is given to the individually selected lines on condition of the output of the collective accident determination circuit 103.

[Action]
The operation of the present embodiment as described above will be described. The description will be made mainly using the description of the line individual determination circuit 104 different from the first embodiment, using the example of the system in FIG. 3 and the current relationship of the loop system described above.

In other words, the out-of-loop accident does not generate the output of the collective accident determination circuit 103 and does not operate. The fault in the loop has an output from the collective fault judgment circuit 103, and the fault line selection is given by the output from the individual line judgment circuit 104. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, at the time of the A line accident, the individual line differential currents Ida, Idb, Idc are as described above.
Ida = Ias + Icb + Ica
Idb = −Icb
Idc = −Icc
Given in.

  That is, the difference currents Ida, Idb, Idc are maximized on the fault line, and if this value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value k0, the fault determination line 104b selects and outputs the fault line. Based on this output and the output of the collective accident determination circuit 103, the accident line selection circuit 105 gives a cutoff command to the accident line.

[effect]
According to the present embodiment as described above, the collective fault judgment circuit 103 performs the collective fault judgment not affected by the zero-phase circulating current, and the line individual judgment circuit 104 performs the fault of the distribution line in the loop system. By determining the line individually based on the comparison determination of the magnitude of the difference current, it is possible to determine the accident line with high sensitivity even in the loop system. Therefore, it is possible to accurately detect an accident in the distribution lines constituting the loop, selectively cut off, and minimize the power failure range.

[Fifth Embodiment]
[Constitution]
A short-circuit protection device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Note that this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment described above, and thus the description of the same components will be omitted.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the line individual determination circuit 104 of this embodiment includes a differential phase determination circuit 104c and a comparison determination circuit 104d. The differential phase determination circuit 104c obtains the differential component of the vector sum of the power supply substation terminal current and the connection line current for each distribution line constituting the loop, and the phase of the differential component and the zero-phase voltage is predetermined. This circuit selects the line when it is within the range. In FIG. 10, the zero-phase voltage introduced into 104 uses the loop point zero-phase voltage 7B, but 7A can also be used.

  When the current on the connection line side is applied to the system configuration shown in FIG. 3, the current of the connection line related to the distribution line is used. For example, the A line is Iba, the B line is -Iba + Ibb, and the C line is -Ibb.

  The comparison determination circuit 104d is a circuit that compares the magnitudes of the difference currents among the lines established in the differential phase determination circuit 104c and selects the line with the maximum difference current. Therefore, a cut-off command is given to the individually selected lines on condition that the collective accident determination circuit 103 outputs. The determination characteristics of the differential phase determination circuit 104c are the same as those of the current determination circuit 103a and the phase determination circuit 103c of the second embodiment, and it is sufficient to replace Its of the current determination circuit 103a with Id.

[Action]
The operation of the present embodiment as described above will be described. The description will be made mainly using the description of the line individual determination circuit 104 different from the first embodiment, using the system configuration example of FIG. 3 and the current relationship of the loop system described above.

  In other words, the out-of-loop accident does not generate the output of the collective accident determination circuit 103 and does not operate. An in-loop accident has an output from the collective accident determination circuit 103, and an accident line selection is given by an output from the individual line determination circuit 104. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the individual line differential currents Ida, Idb, Idc at the time of the A line accident are as shown in the fourth embodiment.

The phase relationship between these Id and V ₀ are generally ignoring errors, as described above, in the case of an accident the line satisfies a within a predetermined value theta, in the case of healthy line becomes the outflow of the charging current of the self-line The phase relationship is opposite to that of the accident line. Therefore, the accident line selection circuit 105 selects the accident line by the determination of the difference current and phase by the differential phase determination circuit 104c and the comparison determination by the comparison determination circuit 104d, and a cutoff command is output.

[effect]
According to the present embodiment as described above, the collective fault judgment circuit 103 performs the collective fault judgment not affected by the zero-phase circulating current, and the line individual judgment circuit 104 performs the fault of the distribution line in the loop system. By determining the line not only by comparing and determining the magnitude of the difference current but also individually based on the phase relationship, it is possible to determine the accident line with high sensitivity even in the loop system. Therefore, even if there is an error due to the zero-phase circulating current, a sound line is not erroneously selected, and an accident in the distribution line can be accurately detected and selectively cut off, so that the power failure range can be minimized.

[Sixth Embodiment]
[Constitution]
A ground fault protection device according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Note that this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment described above, and thus the description of the same components will be omitted.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the differential phase determination circuit 104e in the line individual determination circuit 104 of the present embodiment is a vector sum of the power substation terminal current and the connection line current for each line of the distribution lines constituting the loop. The differential portion (Ida, Idb, Idc) is set as the operation amount, and the ratio sum is configured by using the scalar sum of the power source substation terminal current and the connection line current as the suppression amount (Ira, Irb, Irc). This is a circuit that selects the line when the phase and phase of the zero-phase voltage (λa, λb, λc) are within a predetermined range (θ1 <λa <θ2, θ1 <λb <θ2, θ1 <λc <θ2). . This method is used for protecting transmission lines over general extra high voltage. In FIG. 11, the zero-phase voltage introduced into 104 uses 7B, but 7A can also be used.

  When the current on the connection line side of this system is applied to the system configuration shown in FIG. 3, the current of the connection line related to the distribution line is used. For example, the A line is Iba, the B line is -Iba + Ibb, and the C line is -Ibb.

  The comparison determination circuit 104d is a circuit that compares the magnitude of the difference current among the lines selected by the differential phase determination circuit 104e, and further selects a line having the maximum difference current. Therefore, a cut-off command is given to the selected line on condition of the output of the collective accident determination circuit 103. FIG. 12 shows an example of determination characteristics of the comparison determination circuit 104d.

[Action]
The operation of the present embodiment as described above will be described. The description will be made mainly using the description of the line individual determination circuit 104 different from the first embodiment, using the system configuration example of FIG. 3 and the current relationship of the loop system described above.

  In other words, the out-of-loop accident does not generate the output of the collective accident determination circuit 103 and does not operate. The fault in the loop has an output from the collective fault judgment circuit 103, and the fault line selection is given by the output from the individual line judgment circuit 104.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, in the case of the near-end accident (F2) of the A line, the differential currents Ida, Idb, Idc, which are the operation amounts of the individual lines, are as described in the fourth embodiment. The suppression amount Ir is Ira = | Ias + Icb + Icc + Iath | + | Iath |
Irb = | −Icb−Ibth | + | Iath−Icth |
Irc = | −Icc−Icth | + | Icth |
Given in. In this case, the operation amount of the B line and the C line is small and does not operate. The A line has a large amount of operation and is in the operation range due to the ratio characteristic.

That is, the difference current of the fault line becomes the maximum, and the phase relationship between these Id and V ₀ is generally within the predetermined value θ in the case of the fault line as described above if the error is ignored. Is a value other than the predetermined value θ. Therefore, the fault line selection circuit 105 selects the reverse fault line based on the judgment of the difference current and phase by the differential phase judgment circuit 104e and the comparison judgment by the comparison judgment circuit 104d, and outputs a cutoff command.

[effect]
According to the present embodiment as described above, the collective fault judgment circuit 103 performs the collective fault judgment not affected by the zero-phase circulating current, and the line individual judgment circuit 104 performs the fault of the distribution line in the loop system. By determining the line not only by comparing and determining the magnitude of the difference current but also individually based on the phase relationship, it is possible to determine the accident line with high sensitivity even in the loop system. Therefore, even if there is an error due to the zero-phase circulating current, a sound line is not erroneously selected, and an accident in the distribution line can be accurately detected and selectively cut off, so that the power failure range can be minimized.

[Other Embodiments]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the configuration of the loop system has been described with connection lines between distribution lines. However, as shown in FIG. 13, the loop system has the same loop point. The same effect can be expected.

  In this case, the terminal current on the power substation side is the same as in FIG. 3, but the current on the connection line side is the current on the A line, Iba in FIG. 3 is Iba in FIG. 13, and the current on the B line is In FIG. 13, -Iba + Ibb is Ibb in FIG.
