Description

[0001] DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT PROTECTIVE RELAY AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THEREOF [0002]

Current differential protection relays and their driving methods.

The current differential protection relay is installed at both ends of the transmission line, and it is a device which judges whether or not a fault occurs in the transmission line by using the current difference measured at both ends. The relays installed at both ends can be connected to each other by communication. If the current value measured by the other relay is received, the current value measured by the relay is compared with the current value measured by the other relay.

Today, the current differential protection relay operates digitally and does not process the whole signal, but it periodically adjusts to the reference clock inside the relay and reads the voltage and current signal values at that point to perform the measurement function . However, when the sampling points of different relays installed at both ends of the transmission line are different, the voltage value or current value of the signal measured at both ends will be different. In such a case, there is no difference in the actual signal, but there is a possibility that the relay at both ends of the transmission line may erroneously judge that there is a difference in the signal and malfunction.

In order to solve such a problem, there is a conventional sampling synchronization algorithm. However, since it operates under the assumption that the transmission and reception delay times between the relays of both stages are the same, when the transmission and reception delay times are different according to the actual communication environment, There is still a problem that there is no.

According to one aspect, a differential current protective relay is provided. Wherein the current differential protection relay includes a processor for calculating a first phase angle corresponding to a first sampling time of a reference signal transmitted along a transmission line and for measuring the reference signal at a second sampling time following the first sampling time, Transmitting a correction request message associated with synchronization to a master relay connected to the transmission line and receiving a correction response message corresponding to the first sampling time of the reference signal and including a second phase angle calculated at the master relay And a communication unit. In addition, the processor may perform the synchronization with the master relay at the second sampling time using the first phase angle and the second phase angle. Also, the processor may measure the reference signal on the transmission line, and calculate the first phase angle when the measured value of the reference signal is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value.

According to one embodiment, the processor may calculate the reference phase angle difference by removing the second phase angle at the first phase angle, and calculate the synchronization difference with the master relay using the reference phase angle difference . In addition, if the synchronization difference is positive, the processor increases the second sampling time by the synchronization difference, and if the synchronization difference is negative, slows down the second sampling time by the synchronization difference, Synchronization can be performed.

According to another aspect, a method of synchronizing with the master relay at the sampling time is provided. The method includes the steps of determining whether a reference signal is present on a transmission line, calculating a first phase angle corresponding to a first sampling time of the reference signal according to a result of the determination, Receiving a correction response message that includes a second phase angle corresponding to the first sampling time of the reference signal and computed at the master relay, And performing a synchronization of the second sampling point along the first sampling point with the master relay using the second phase angle and the second phase angle. In addition, the reference signal may be a voltage signal, and the step of determining whether the reference signal exists may determine that the reference signal exists when the reference signal exists at a predetermined ratio or more of the rated voltage.

According to one embodiment, performing synchronization at the sampling time with the master relay includes calculating the reference phase angle difference by removing the second phase angle at the first phase angle, And calculating the synchronization difference using the frequency. In addition, the step of performing synchronization with the master relay at the sampling time may perform synchronization by controlling the sampling time so that the synchronization difference becomes zero.

According to another aspect, a current differential protection relay is provided. Wherein the current differential protection relay includes a meter for measuring a reference signal transmitted along a transmission line based on a sampling period, a first phase angle corresponding to a first sampling time of the reference signal from a slave relay connected to the transmission line, A communication unit for receiving a correction request message and a second phase angle corresponding to the first sampling time of the reference signal in accordance with the correction request message and transmitting a correction response message including the second phase angle through the communication unit Lt; / RTI > In addition, the measuring device may determine whether the measured reference signal is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value and determine the validity of the measured reference signal.

According to an embodiment, the processor may divide the phase angle measured in the reference signal by the phase angle variation per predetermined sampling period, and calculate the remaining value as the second phase angle. Meanwhile, the processor may calculate a phase angle that is greater than zero and smallest among the phase angles measured in the reference signal, as the second phase angle.

Also, in certain cases, there may be a term chosen arbitrarily by the applicant, in which case the meaning of the detailed description in the corresponding description section. Therefore, the term used in the following description should be understood based on the meaning of the term, not the name of a simple term, and the contents throughout the specification.

1 is an exemplary diagram showing different sampling timings between a master relay and a slave relay. The relay described in the following description may be a device installed at both ends of an electric circuit to open or close an electric circuit according to an electric signal such as voltage, current, power and frequency. More specifically, it may be a current differential protection relay installed at both ends of a transmission line and judging whether or not a fault has occurred on the line by using a current difference measured at both ends. Today, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standardizes and establishes communication protocols such as IEC 61850 as communication protocols between substations. Accordingly, the current differential protection relay according to this embodiment may include an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) operable using a communication protocol such as IEC 61850. The current differential protection relay is a device that detects and controls the relevant part when a short circuit or ground fault occurs on the transmission line or when an abnormal operation occurs, and it is an essential function in safety of today's large capacity electric power facility .

According to one embodiment, the master relay 110 and the slave relay 120 can be installed at both ends of the same transmission line to detect a failure of the transmission line. The master relay 110 and the slave relay 120 can periodically measure the reference signal at regular time intervals. Hereinafter, the operation of measuring the value of the reference signal will be referred to as sampling, and the point of time at which sampling is performed will be referred to as a sampling time. However, if the sampling times of the master relay 110 and the slave relay 120 are different, sampling will be performed at different points of time with respect to the same reference signal. Therefore, although there is no difference in the actual reference signal, the relays 110 and 120 at both ends of the transmission line erroneously determine that there is a difference in the signals, so that the entire current differential protection relay may malfunction.

There is a need to match the sampling points between the master relay 110 and the slave relays 120 for the same reason as described above, and the operation of matching the two sampling points may be referred to as synchronization. The master relay 110 provides a reference sampling point in order to perform the synchronization as described above and the slave relay 120 adjusts its sampling point according to the sampling point of the master relay 110 so that the two relays 110, 120 can be coincided with each other.

The slave relays 120 may transmit a synchronization request message 140 to the master relay 110 at a first sampling time 131 of the slave relays 120 for synchronization at the sampling time. The transmitted synchronization request message (140) includes a first transmission delay time

May be determined according to the communication environment and the communication equipment that connect the master relay 110 and the slave relays 120.

Figure 112015053662844-pat00004
Can be increased or decreased. The master relay 110 may calculate the difference between the time at which the synchronization request message is received and the first sampling time 132 of the master relay 110. [ In accordance with the above calculation, the master relay 110 outputs the first synchronization information

There is a synchronous difference of.

The master relay 110 may send a synchronization response message 160 to the slave relays 120 in response to the received synchronization request message. More specifically, transmission 160 of the synchronization response message may be performed at a second sampling time 152 of the master relay 110. Further, the synchronization response message includes first synchronization information

May occur in accordance with differences in communication equipment or communication environment associated with master relay 110 and slave relay 120, respectively. In order to solve such a problem, one of the two relays 110 and 120 can input a reference signal on the transmission line. In addition, both relays 110 and 120 measure the reference signal and use the phase difference of the measured reference signal to calculate the transmission delay time

And

And the synchronization difference according to the first embodiment is eliminated. A more detailed description will be given below with reference to the drawings.

2 shows a block diagram of a slave relay according to one embodiment. The slave relay 200 can receive the phase angle of the reference signal from the master relay and calculate the reference phase angle difference with the phase angle measured by the master relay. In addition, the reference phase angle difference may be converted into a synchronous difference to perform sampling time synchronization with the master relay.

The slave relay 200 may include a processor 210 and a communication unit 220. The processor 210 can measure the reference signal on the transmission line on which the slave relays 200 are installed. Illustratively, the reference signal may be in the form of an analog sinusoidal wave having a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The reference signal may be either a voltage or a current signal flowing along the transmission line. Illustratively, the reference signal may be an A-phase voltage signal. In addition, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a conventional sampling synchronization algorithm can be implemented with the present embodiment using the processor 210.

In addition, the processor 210 may determine whether the measured reference signal is such a valid signal as to synchronize the sampling time. There is a possibility that the processor 210 may fail to perform accurate synchronization and may malfunction such that the difference at the sampling time is increased in the case where there is no reference signal or there is a weak reference signal enough to perform synchronization at the sampling time.

More specifically, the processor 210 may determine whether the measured value of the reference signal is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold. In addition, the processor 210 may calculate the phase angle only when the measured value is equal to or greater than the threshold value to perform synchronization at the sampling time. In one embodiment, when the reference signal is selected as the voltage signal, the threshold may be set to 80% of the rated voltage determined according to the specification of the current differential protection relay. In another embodiment, when the reference signal is selected as the current signal, the threshold may be set to a predetermined ratio of the rated current determined according to the specification of the current differential protection relay. The processor 210 may calculate a first phase angle corresponding to the first sampling time using the measured reference signal.

The communication unit 220 can transmit the correction request message to the master relay connected to the same transmission line. In addition, the communication unit 220 can receive the correction response message from the master relay. More specifically, the correction response message includes a second phase angle calculated at the first sampling time by the master relay. More specifically, the communication unit 220 may be a wireless LAN (WLAN), a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) Direct, a DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), a Wibro (Wireless broadband), a Wimax (World Interoperability for Microwave Access) (Bluetooth), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), ZigBee, Near Field Communication (NFC) And the like. In addition, the communication unit 220 may represent all interfaces (for example, a wired interface) capable of performing communication with the outside. In addition, as another embodiment, the communication unit 220 may be one of optical communication-based wired communication interfaces including widely used optical network units (ONUs) and optical line terminals (OLTs) Lt; / RTI >

In addition, the processor 210 may perform synchronization at a second sampling time using a first phase angle calculated by the processor 210 and a second phase angle received from the master relay. Illustratively, the second sampling time may be any one of following sampling times. More specifically, the processor 210 may calculate the reference phase angle difference using the following equation (2).

Figure 112015053662844-pat00021

As shown in Equation 2, the reference phase angle difference is equal to the second phase angle calculated by the master relay at the first phase angle calculated by the slave relay 200. More specifically, the processor 210 may detect the sampling point-in-time relationship of the slave relays 200 and master relays depending on whether the reference phase angle difference is greater than or less than zero. In addition, the processor 210 may determine the magnitude of the synchronization difference at the sampling time according to the magnitude of the absolute value of the reference phase angle difference. In addition, the processor 210 can determine the synchronization difference (ms) in the reference phase angle difference using the following equation (3).

Figure 112015053662844-pat00022

Illustratively, if 60 Hz of power is being transmitted through the transmission line provided with the slave relay 200 and the master relay when the reference phase angle difference is 3.6 degrees, the synchronization difference may be calculated as 0.1667 ms. As can be seen from Equation (3), if the reference phase angular difference is positive, the synchronization difference is positive, and if the reference phase angle difference is negative, the synchronization difference will also be negative.

In addition, the processor 220 can synchronize the second sampling time following the first sampling time with the master relay using the synchronization difference. The processor 220 increases the second sampling time by the synchronization difference when the synchronization difference is positive and makes the second sampling time by the synchronization difference when the synchronization difference is negative so as to synchronize the master relay and the sampling point Can be performed. The operation of the slave relay 200 described above prevents erroneous operation of the current differential protection relay for determining the failure of the transmission line, and more stable operation can be expected.

3 shows a waveform diagram of a reference signal flowing through a transmission line according to an embodiment. The first waveform diagram 310 shows the reference signal 311 measured at the master relay. In addition, the second waveform diagram 320 shows the reference signal 321 measured at the slave relays. The X-axis of the two waveform diagrams 310 and 320 represents time (second), and the Y-axis represents amplitude (unit of magnitude of reference signal). In one embodiment, when the reference signal is a voltage, the Y axis may be V (voltage). In another embodiment, when the reference signal is a current, the Y axis may be A (ampere). In addition, the master relay and the slave relays may be installed at different positions on the transmission line.

In general, it is possible to detect whether or not a fault occurs on a transmission line connecting the master relay and the slave relays by comparing the reference signals 311 and 321 measured in the master relay and the slave relay. When a ground fault occurs in a line of a direct grounding type and the line touches the ground, or when the line touches a high resistance object such as a tree, the resistance of the transmission line is changed when the distribution line is broken, Since the signals of the reference signals 311 and 321 measured at both ends of the reference signal 311 and 321 can be different. However, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the two reference signals 311 and 321 are identical assuming that such a failure does not occur.

Referring to FIG. 3, the reference signal 311 measured at the master relay is the same as the reference signal 321 measured at the slave relay, so that there is no failure in the transmission line. Therefore, if the master relay and the slave relay operate correctly, it is necessary to measure the value of the same reference signal and to detect the fact that there is no abnormality in the transmission line. However, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the first sampling point 331 of the master relay and the first sampling point 332 of the slave relay are different from each other,

Figure 112015053662844-pat00023
Are present, and different reference signal values are measured accordingly. More specifically, the master relay has a first sampling point 331 when the first phase angle of the reference signal is 0 degrees, but the slave relay does not have the second sampling point when the second phase angle of the reference signal is not 0 degrees. 332).

In addition, when there is a difference in the transmission and reception delay times of the master relay and the slave relays, it is as described above that complete synchronization can not be performed using only the conventional sampling synchronization algorithm. In such a case, there is a need to perform sampling time synchronization according to the present embodiment.

Illustratively, assume that the second phase angle of the slave relays in FIG. 3 is 30 degrees. The slave relays can be calculated to have a reference phase angle difference of 30 degrees. In addition, the slave relays use the reference phase angle difference of 30 degrees,

Figure 112015053662844-pat00024
Can be calculated to be + 1.389 ms. Thus, the slave relay can advance its second sampling time 342 by 1.389ms. thereafter
Figure 112015053662844-pat00025
Becomes zero, and the second sampling points 341 and 342 of the two relays can be synchronized. In another embodiment, the slave relays can calculate a negative value with a reference phase angle difference, and in such a case,
Figure 112015053662844-pat00026
It will also have negative values. In this case, the slave relay can perform synchronization by delaying its second sampling time 342 further.

4 shows a block diagram of a master relay according to one embodiment. The master relay 400 may include a processor 410 and a communication unit 420. The processor 410 may measure the reference signal flowing along the transmission line based on the sampling period. Illustratively, the reference signal may be a sinusoidal wave having a predetermined frequency. In one embodiment, the predetermined frequency may be either 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Processor 410 may determine the sampling period in accordance with the reference clock signal and measure the reference signal in accordance with the sampling period. In one embodiment, the processor 410 may determine whether the measured reference signal is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold and determine the validity of the measured reference signal.

In addition, the processor 410 may calculate a second phase angle of the reference signal above the threshold. In one embodiment, when the phase angle value of the phasor of the reference signal is constant, the processor 410 may calculate the second phase angle. In this case, the phase angle value will have a constant value between 0 and 360 degrees irrespective of the number of phasor calculations per cycle. Thus, the processor 410 may divide the phase angle measured in the reference signal by the phase angle variation per predetermined sampling period, and calculate the remaining value as the second phase angle. For example, assuming that 16 phasors per sampling period are calculated, the phase angle variation corresponding to one phasor is 22.5 degrees, and the processor 410 calculates the phase angle value as a result of calculation of the phasor The remaining value divided by 22.5 can be calculated by the second phase angle. When the phasor phase angle value is 37 degrees, the remaining value obtained by dividing the value by 22.5 degrees can be calculated as the second phase angle of 14.5 degrees.

In another embodiment, when the phasor phase angle value of the reference signal varies with a constant difference in the range between 0 and 360 degrees, the processor 410 determines whether the phase angle of the reference signal is greater than zero The smallest phase angle can be calculated as the second phase angle. Illustratively, assuming that 16 phasors per sampling period are calculated, the phase angle variation per phasor is 22.5 degrees. Therefore, the phase angle values measured are a, a + 22.5 degrees, a + 45 degrees, ... , and a + 337.5 degrees. In this case, the processor 410 may calculate the smallest phase angle with a second phase angle greater than zero based on zero degrees. If a is 10 in the embodiment described above, the processor 410 may calculate a second phase angle of 10 degrees.

5 illustrates a flow diagram of a method for performing sampling point-in-time synchronization of relays on both ends of a transmission line according to one embodiment. A method 500 for performing sampling point-in-time synchronization of relays on both ends of a transmission line includes determining (510) whether a reference signal is present on a transmission line, determining whether the reference signal exists at a first sampling point of the reference signal (530) a correction request message associated with the synchronization to the master relay coupled to the transmission line, calculating a corresponding first phase angle (530) from the master relay, Receiving (540) a message and performing (550) synchronization using the first phase angle and the second phase angle.

Step 510 is a step of determining whether a reference signal exists on the transmission line. It is judged whether there is a valid reference signal enough to perform the sampling point-in-time synchronization of the present invention. Master and slave relays installed at both ends of the transmission line may be physically separated from several kilometers to several tens of kilometers. Therefore, a signal of a type that can be stably transmitted without being deformed or distorted while flowing along the distance of the two relays can be selected. Illustratively, the reference signal can be a voltage signal. The voltage signal can be transmitted to both relays even when there is a disconnection in a part of the transmission line, so that the voltage signal can be detected more stably than when the current signal is used. A detailed description of step 510 will be described with reference to FIG. 6, which will be described below.

Step 520 is a step of calculating a first phase angle corresponding to a first sampling time of the reference signal according to a result of the determination performed in step 510. [ In step 520, the slave relay may phasor convert the measured value of the reference signal measured in step 510 and obtain the phase angle at that time. It will be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art that the description of the operation of the processor 410 described in FIG. 4 to calculate the second phase angle can also be applied to step 520.

Step 530 is the step of sending a correction request message associated with synchronization to the master relay connected to the transmission line. Each of the master relay and the slave relay can measure the reference signal with its own sampling period according to the internal clock signal. In step 530, the slave relays may send a correction request message to the master relay that includes information about the first sampling time to be used for synchronization. In addition, the master relay can receive the correction request message and send the information for performing the synchronization to the slave relay. In one embodiment, the information for performing the synchronization may include parallax information at the time of receiving the correction request message from the first sampling time of the master relay. In another embodiment, the information for performing the synchronization may include a second phase angle calculated by the master relay at the first sampling time.

Step 540 is a step in which the slave relay receives the correction response message from the master relay. The correction response message may include information for performing the synchronization. More specifically, the correction response message may include a second phase angle corresponding to the first sampling time of the reference signal and calculated at the master relay. In addition, the transmission and reception of the correction request message and the correction response message described in steps 530 and 540 can be performed in a wide variety of applications such as code division multiple access (CDMA) networks, time division multiple access (TDMA) networks, frequency division multiple access FDMA) network, an orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA) network, or single carrier FDMA networks, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.

Step 550 is a step of performing synchronization between the master relay and the second sampling point following the first sampling point using the first phase angle and the second phase angle. Illustratively, the second sampling time represents a time point corresponding to any one of the sampling performed by the slave relays after the first sampling time, and is not limited to a specific sequence or is not limited. In step 550, the slave relay can calculate the reference phase angle difference using equation (2) and calculate the synchronous difference using equation (3). More specifically, step 550 may be performed by the processor 210 described in FIG. In step 550, the slave relays may synchronize with the master relay by advancing or delaying the second sampling time by the synchronization difference according to the synchronization difference. By applying this additional synchronization method to the transmission line, the current differential protection relay can be expected to improve the accuracy and reliability of the original protection operation.

In addition, the method of performing sampling point-in-time synchronization of the relay may further include a plurality of additional steps. The method may further include transmitting an initialization message for confirming the presence of the master relay. Illustratively, the step of transmitting the initialization message may be performed by the communication unit 220 of the slave relay 200 shown in FIG. In addition, the method may further comprise receiving a response message corresponding to the initialization message. Upon receipt of the response message, the slave relay 200 can recognize that a master relay exists within a communicable distance range.

In addition, the method may further include transmitting a synchronization request message at a sampling time. In addition, the method may further comprise receiving a synchronization response message corresponding to the synchronization request message from the master relay. More specifically, the synchronization response message is generated from the first sampling time of the master relay to the first synchronization information

In addition, the method may further comprise calculating a synchronization difference between the master relay and a sampling point. In this step, the slave relays use the difference between the second sampling time performed after the first sampling time and the reception timing of the synchronization response message,

Can be obtained. In addition, the slave relay outputs the first synchronization information

And the second synchronization information

The sampling time can be adjusted so as to be equal to each other. The above described steps may be performed additionally with the steps described in FIG. However, the description of the above steps has been described as one embodiment, and is not limited or limited in the order of description.

As another embodiment, a method of performing sampling point-in-time synchronization of relays at both ends to a transmission line performed by a master relay can be provided. The method may include receiving an initialization message from the slave relays. When the initialization message is received, the master relay can recognize that a slave relay is present within a communicable distance range. In addition, the method may further include transmitting the response message corresponding to the initialization message to the slave relay. In the step of transmitting the response message, the master relay can inform the slave relays to perform synchronization. In addition, the method may further include receiving a synchronization request message at the sampling time. The method may further include, when the synchronization request message is received, transmitting a synchronization response message at a sampling time corresponding to the synchronization request message to the slave relays. The synchronization response message is generated from the first sampling time of the master relay to the first synchronization information

. ≪ / RTI > The master relay is the reference relay for synchronization at the sampling time. Accordingly, the presence of the slave relays to be synchronized is confirmed, and when the existence of the slave relays is confirmed, the slave relays provide information for performing synchronization. Unlike the slave relays, there is no need to perform separate sampling point adjustments for synchronization. However, in current differential protection relays, each relay is not permanently limited or limited to a master relay and a slave relay. And may operate as a master relay or a slave relay according to the setting of a sampling timing algorithm based on the same hardware configuration.

6 shows a flow diagram of a method for calculating a phase angle in a reference signal according to an embodiment. A method 600 for calculating a phase angle in a reference signal includes comparing 610 a measured reference signal to a predetermined threshold and calculating 620 a phase angle corresponding to a first sampling time.

Step 610 is a step of measuring the reference signal and comparing the measured reference signal with a predetermined threshold value. As described above, the reference signal can be input to the transmission line in the form of various signals. In one embodiment, when the reference signal is current, the measurement of the reference signal in step 610 may be performed using a current transformer (CT) for current measurement commonly used today. In another embodiment, in the case where the reference signal is a voltage, the measurement of the reference signal in step 620 may be performed using a voltage transformer (PT) for voltage measurement commonly used today.

In addition, step 610 may include setting a threshold for determining the validity of the reference signal. In one embodiment, when the reference signal is current, the threshold may be determined at a predetermined ratio of the rated current of the relay connected to both ends of the transmission line. In another embodiment, when the reference signal is a voltage, the threshold may be determined at a predetermined ratio of the rated voltage of the relay connected to both ends of the transmission line.

Step 610 may determine whether the size of the reference signal measured is greater than or equal to the previously set threshold. The determination may be performed by the processor 210 of FIG. 2 or the processor 410 of FIG.

Step 620 is performed when it is determined that the reference signal measured in step 610 is equal to or greater than the threshold value. Conversely, if it is determined that the reference signal measured at step 610 is below the threshold, step 620 is not performed and step 610 may be performed again at a constant time interval. Step 620 is a step of calculating a phase angle corresponding to the first sampling time. Steps 610 and 620 may be performed in each of the master relay and the slave relays. If step 620 is performed in the slave relays, a first phase angle can be calculated. If step 620 is performed in the master relay, a second phase angle can be calculated.
