Adaptive Staged Overcurrent Protection Using Pre-Fault and Post-Fault Thevenin Parameters
摘要
Abstract
This paper presents an adaptive staged overcurrent protection system based on predicted post-fault Thevenin equivalent parameters. The presented protection scheme can be used in a distribution system with more than one Inverter Interfaced Distribution Generators (IIDGs). To implement the protection system
equations of pre-fault and post-fault Thevenin equivalent parameters are obtained and relationship between them is revealed. Then protection's stage I and stage II trip currents are calculated by an easy algorithm based on that relationship. What's more
a sensitivity verification is applied to the Stage II operating current
enabling both Stage I and Stage II to protect the entire line
similar to conventional overcurrent (OC) protection. To verify equations and ensure protection system working normally
a distribution system is built in PSCAD/EMTDC. Simulation and calculation results show that the sensitivity and the selectivity of the protection system satisfy the need of an OC protection.
