A Single-Ended Transient Based Voltage Protection Method of UHVDC Transmission Line which Distinguishes the Opposite Side’s Internal and External Fault with Protectors
The paper studied the frequency characteristics of UHVDC transmission line and UHVDC transmission line boundary and their attenuation to high frequency components of fault-generated transient signal. The paper points out that existing approaches which utilize protectors to distinguish local side’s internal or external fault can’t protect the whole line. UHVDC transmission line and UHVDC transmission line boundary’s attenuation to high frequency fault-generated transient signal is overall considered, and a single-ended transient based voltage protection method which distinguishes the opposite side’s internal and external fault is proposed. The Yunnan-Guangdong UHVDC model of actual parameters was built up by PSCAD, and simulation experiment was conducted.
