Abstract:Flexible DC distribution system is becoming one of the research hotspots of distribution network because it can connect new energy sources and DC load efficiently and flexibly. However, due to the influence of power electronic device control, the short-circuit current provided by the converter is highly nonlinear when DC faults occur, and its fault equivalent impedance is time-varying, which is difficult to identify the fault area based on the varying impedance. Aiming at this problem, the equivalent model of high frequency constant impedance of converter that is not affected by control strategy is established by analyzing the circuit of fault high frequency signal in the switching process of converter. Then a distance protection based on high-frequency fault component is proposed using the electrical information of milliseconds before and after the system fault, maps the fault section by extracting the high-frequency voltage component, and realizes fault area identification by combining protection setting and coordination. A detailed model of six-terminal flexible DC distribution system is built on the PSCAD/EMTDC electromagnetic transient simulation platform. The simulation results show that the proposed method has good speed and selectivity, can reliably identify fault areas, and has good resistance to transition resistance and noise.
