High-speed Protection of AC Collection Lines Connecting Wind Power to Offshore Converter Stations
Both ends of the AC collection line connecting the wind power to the offshore converter station are power electronic power sources.The characteristic of the short-circuit current,characterized by limited amplitude and controlled phase angle,can deteriorate the performance of differential protection and increase the risk of refusal to operate.To address these issues,this paper analyzes the fault characteristics of the flexible DC converter station and the wind turbine converter in the fault transient state,uncovering significant differences in the short-circuit current spectrum when an internal fault occurs.Based on this,the time-frequency energy coefficient is used to measure the difference in time-frequency characteristics of short-circuit current on both sides of the line,and a high-speed protection principle for AC collection lines suitable for wind power connected to offshore converter stations is proposed.The time-frequency energy coefficient incorporates the difference of amplitude,frequency and phase angle,which has a strong ability to withstand transition resistance and system noise.The proposed protection measures the difference in fault characteristics of fault transients,and theoretically,it can quickly and reliably identify internal faults and external faults within 5 ms.The hardware-in-the-loop experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed protection.
