Research on a Faulty Line Selection Method Based on the Zero-Sequence Disturbance Power of Resonant Grounded Distribution Networks

摘要

For fast and accurate faulty line selection (FLS) in single phase-to-ground (SPG) faults for resonant grounded distribution networks (RGDNs), this paper proposes a FLS method based on zero-sequence power characteristics. Through analysis of the zero-sequence current of SPG faults, it is found that the transient zero-sequence current in the faulty line contains abundant attenuated DC components, while that in the sound line is weak, which could be utilized as a technically practical way of judging faulty lines. Thus a FLS scheme using a transient zero-sequence DC component energy integral is put forward, which highlights the difference of the DC components in the faulty line and the sound line. A series of simulation test results indicate that the proposed scheme shows favorable performance under various SPG fault conditions, and should be helpful to improve the success rate of FLS significantly for RGDN in the future.
