Abstract:With the rapid growth of power load and the centralized integration of large-scale new energy, high voltage, long-distance and high-capacity transmission will become the direction of the development of power grid in the future in China. In the background of the UHV power grid, combining with domestic and foreign advanced experiences of enhancing the transmission capacity of the power grid, especially the researches of new technologies, new materials and new methods applied in the power grid, this paper elaborates the main factors affecting the transmission capacity of the main grid comprehensively. On this basis, it gives some feasible methods to enhance the transmission capacity and their characteristics in this stage. According to their implementation methods, they can be divided into three categories, including changing the structure of the power grid, changing the electrical characteristics and installing grid security and stability control devices. Combining with the network characteristics of UHV power grid, this paper examines the applicability of various methods for UHV power grid, and proposes a suitable solution for UHV transmission network.

Abstract:Malfunction of the protection devices caused a serious impact on the power system, especially its safe and stable operation. Crosstalk of the AC and DC power is the main factor that caused the malfunction of the protection devices. An unit outage caused by a mistakenly jump of the excitation switch in a power plant is described, as a result of the AC into DC control loop. Also the preventive measures are proposed from the design, construction, testing and other aspects.

Abstract:During a failure of the 10 kV line in a 110 kV substation, the main transformer protection will take action if a coincidence happens during the failure. With the fault waveform and the analysis of the current circuit diagram, the whole process of the failure is shown and ultimately the point of the failure is determined. This can provide experience for reference for the malfunction of the main transformer protection, on the condition of little resistance grounding.

Abstract:Parameters of the power transmission line are the base of power system load flow calculation as well as protection value setting. Acquiring accurate values of the parameters are important for power system operation arrangement and relay protection's reliability and sensitivity improvement. A method is proposed to calculate the sequence parameters of transmission lines based on the decomposition of the induced voltage (current) into positive, negative and zero sequence. The proposed method and traditional method are applied to calculate the sequence impedance of 4 transmission lines on a same tower. The comparison of these two results shows that the two methods have almost same accuracy which means the proposed is qualified for measuring. The effect of voltage amplitude dispersion on the measuring results is discussed. It is shown that a larger amplitude dispersion of voltage indicates a smaller measuring error of the zero sequence impedance.

Abstract:A wind farm covers a vast area and the capacitive current of wind farms' assemble lines are relatively large. Therefore, the grounding modes of these assemble lines are critical to the safe operation of wind farms and the entire power grid. Three kinds of grounding modes, namely through harmonic elimination cabinet grounding, through extinction coil grounding and through resistance grounding, are analyzed. Based on the analysis a method for calculating the setting parameters of zero sequence protection system is presented which provides a valuable reference for future similar projects.

Abstract:Direct current capacitor, which would affect the voltage of DC side, is one of the key equipment of static var generator. The DC voltage's stability relates to the capacity of SVG to achieve ideal control target. When a SVG compensates a three-phase equilibrium load, DC capacitor only plays the role of supporting DC voltage. In this case, a small DC capacitor is proposer in theory. However when a SVG compensates a three-phase unbalanced load, the negative sequence current would be produced. In this case, the DC side voltage would fluctuate in a frequency which is two times of power gird's operational frequency. Apparently, the larger the negative sequence current is, the greater the fluctuation of DC side voltage would be. Therefore, if the DC capacitor is not large enough, the DC side voltage fluctuation will exceed the permissible range, which will lead to a poor control effect. This paper deduces theoretically the minimum DC capacitor for a negative sequence current compensation. A method to force the DC side voltage fluctuation in the permissible range to ensure the normal operation of SVG is proposed. Finally we verify the correctness of the DC capacitor selection method through the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.

Abstract:Parallel connected double-track-lines based auto-transformer(AT) is a common way to supply power to high-speed railway (HSR). The distribution of current and its relation with the current of fault site are formulized for different faults. A method to identify fault type and its direction base on the comparison of the virtual values at Traction Substation, AT Post and Subsection Post is proposed for various faults. The proposed method combines the principal of "AT neutral current ratios", which is effective to identify fault's type and direction accurately which is valuable for power supply restoration.

Abstract:The inlet feeder protection is widely used to block automatic switchover in case of its mis-operation in the 110 kV substations with sectionalized single-bus configurations. However, the protection would act improperly to fail to block automatic switchover when a phase-to-phase fault occurs. To improve the cooperation of the protection and switchover, the method of changing protection's direction from line to bus is proposed. Also, the way of adding a bus differential protection to improve the cooperation is proposed.

Abstract:With considering data exchange between feeders of a smart substation, a new fault line selection device is designed without assembling any other devices. The designed device collects fault information of feeders through GOOSE and synchronizes the fault information of various feeders by using residual voltage as the reference of time.

The RTDS testing results show that the proposed device is effective to locate the fault lines in various operational conditions of smart substation.
