In this paper, an improved fault location method with exact distributed parameter line model and sparse esti-mation is proposed for power networks. Compared to existing sparse estimation based fault location methods that typically use linear impedance linemodels, the proposed method fully models the distributedparameter characteristics of the line, resulting in a nonlinear formulation of the problem. The paper proves that the idea of sparse equivalent bus current injection still holds even for the proposed nonlinear formulation of the problem and derives the expression of faulted line section and fault location. The proposed method works for faults within two-or three-terminal lines of a power network, and only requires limited PMU placement. Extensive numerical experiments with different fault types, impedances, and locations prove that the proposed method demonstrates higher fault location accuracy than the existing sparse estimation based fault location method.

A new fault location algorithm for two-end series-compensated double-circuit transmission lines utilizing unsynchronized two-terminal current phasors and local voltage phasors is presented in this paper. The distributed parameter line model is adopted to take into account the shunt capacitance of the lines. The mutual coupling between the parallel lines in the zero-sequence network is also considered. The boundary conditions under different fault types are used to derive the fault location formulation. The developed algorithm directly uses the local voltage phasors on the line side of series compensation (SC) and metal oxide varistor (MOV). However, when potential transformers are not installed on the line side of SC and MOVs for the local terminal, these measurements can be calculated from the local terminal bus voltage and currents by estimating the voltages across the SC and MOVs. MATLAB SimPowerSystems is used to generate cases under diverse fault conditions to evaluating accuracy. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is qualified for practical implementation.

Transmission lineparameters are critical inputs to a variety of power system analysis algorithms. To ensure the precision of lineparameters, this paper proposes a novel linear method to estimate transmission lineparameters, including series resistance, series reactance, and shunt susceptance, for non-compensated and series-compensated lines. Voltage and current phasors obtained by phasor measurement units (PMUs) from both ends are utilized in the algorithm. linear least squares method is applied when multiple sets of measurements are available for improved accuracy. distributed parameter line model is employed in developing the algorithm. An optimal estimator is also proposed, which can detect and identify possible measurement errors, although this type of method is no longer linear. The estimated lineparameters can be used to determine line temperature and conductor sag. Evaluations studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Traveling wave differential protection (TWDP) is based on the traveling wave (TW) propagation characteristics of the physical transmission line and therefore holds unique advantages in the protection of long-distance transmission lines. This paper proposes a practical time-domain TWDP scheme specifically designed for high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) lines and provides both theoretical analysis and field validation. A TWDP device, named TP-03, was developed and underwent laboratory testing. The developed protection device 1) can stay valid under a maximum fault impedance of up to 1000 Omega under the rated +/- 1100 kV voltage level;2) has an operation time of less than 30 ms even with a communication delay of 20 ms. In October 2020, TP-03 devices were first deployed on the Changji-Guquan UHVDC transmission project, which is the highest voltage (+/- 1100 kV), longest distance (3284 km), and largest capacity (rated 12100 MW) transmission project in the world. During its operation, the devices functioned correctly in several internal faults and external disturbance events. This work represents the first field validation of HVDC TWDP and bridges the gap between theoretical research and real-world applications. It confirms that TWDP can serve as the main protection for ultra-long-distance HVDC lines, setting a benchmark for future projects.

Renewable sources such as solar and wind is the ideal solution for sustainable development. However, protection methods for renewable energy penetrated power systems still faces a lot of challenges. We claim that the performance of the differential protection is highly related to the model accuracy. Using a detailed distributed parameter line model, this paper developed a novel differential protection method for renewable energy penetrated power systems based on traveling waves with high rapidity and reliability. The optimal differential point is also discussed to enhance protection rapidity. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed protection could soon detect internal faults with high fault resistance while maintaining reliability when external faults occur.

High voltage direct current (HVDC) technology is the ideal solution for long distance bulk power transmission. However, different from AC systems, differential protection of HVDC lines still faces a lot of challenges. We claim that from the perspective of state estimation, the essence of differential protection is to estimate state variables using measured data, of which the validity indicates whether there is a fault. Therefore, the performance of the differential protection is highly related to the model accuracy. Using a detailed distributed parameter line model, this paper developed a novel differential protection method for HVDC lines based on traveling waves with high reliability. The optimal differential point is also discussed to enhance protection rapidity. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed protection could soon detect internal faults with high fault resistance while maintaining reliability when external faults occur. (C) 2021 The Authors.

详细信息
A new two-terminal fault-location algorithm for series-compensated double-circuit transmission lines based on the distributed parameter line model is proposed. The system is considered as fully transposed, and a six-sequence component network is introduced to decouple the mutual electromagnetic effects between circuits. Two subroutines designated for the fault that occurs on the left or right side of the series compensator are developed. In each subroutine, the voltage of the series-compensated device is eliminated based on the fact that the sequence voltages calculated from two sides are equal at the fault point. The fault-location function is constructed by utilizing the feature in which the transition resistance is purely resistant at the fault point. The proposed algorithm does not rely on the equivalent model of a series-compensated device. Moreover, it does not require the fault type to be known, and there are no fault-location identification and pseudoroot elimination problems. PSCAD is employed to generate numerous fault cases in diverse conditions and the high accuracy of the proposed fault-location algorithm is validated in MATLAB.

Half-wavelength transmission technology is getting more and more attention due to its excellent characteristics such as large transmission capacity and long transmission distance. Traditional differential protection is not applicable to half-wavelength transmission line because of the impact caused by large distributed capacitance current. Travelling wave (TW) differential protection is not affected by distributed capacitance current, so it can be applied to long EHV/UHV transmission line. However, when directly applied to half-wavelength transmission line, large unbalanced differential current will appear during external faults, since the resistance of the line and the frequency-dependent feature of the lineparameters which are neglected by TW differential protection have such great impact that they cannot be neglected anymore. In order to improve the performance of TW differential protection, this paper proposes a scheme which has taken the resistance into account and uses power frequency component of the differential current to identify fault for the purpose of avoiding the influence of the frequency-dependent feature of the lineparameters. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme is effective in reducing the unbalanced differential current, and as a result, ensures the selectivity of the protection. The scheme also has high sensitivity during internal faults with large fault resistance.

In this study, a novel accurate fault location algorithm is presented for two-terminal transmission lines. In contrast to conventional methods, the proposed algorithm not only utilises asynchronous samples recorded during the fault but also needs no lineparameters and identification of fault type. In the presented fault-locating method, distributed parameter line model in the time domain and asynchronous data of the terminals collected during fault are applied. Fault locating as an optimisation problem has been solved by the heuristic algorithm of teaching-learning-based optimisation, and the decision variables of fault location, synchronisation time and lineparameters are estimated simultaneously. The performance of the presented method was tested with different fault incidence angles, a variety of fault types, and under several system and fault conditions using the MATLAB/Simulink. These tests demonstrate the high accuracy of the presented method. Also, the proposed method did not show any dependence on the impedance of the Thevenin sources of the two sides of the line, the fault impedance and the fault incidence angle. Furthermore, it was not affected by the high resistance of the fault and the network structure.
