Research demonstrates improved fault identification in hybrid DC multi-infeed systems, highlighting AC line protection and robust sensitivity.
In order to meet the needs of grid integration of various renewable energy sources and promote long-distance power transmission, a hybrid multi-infeed DC system architecture consisting of a line-commutated converter (LCC) and a modular multilevel converter (MMC) is constructed. Focusing on the issue of traditional differential protection refusing to operate under high-resistance grounding faults and failing under symmetrical faults, a dual-criteria protection mechanism is proposed in this paper. By integrating current differential and voltage criterion, the accurate identification of various types of AC line faults can be realized. A hybrid DC system simulation model was built on MATLAB, the sampled data was decoupled, and the differential quantity was calculated to test the dual-criteria protection mechanism. The simulation results show that the proposed protection mechanism can effectively identify various faults within the hybrid DC multi-feed system area and faults outside the area and has robustness to complex working conditions such as high-resistance grounding and three-phase short circuits, which improves the sensitivity, selectivity, and adaptability of the protection. This method is designed for AC line protection under the disturbance of multi-infeed DC systems. It is not directly applicable to pure DC microgrids. The concept can be extended to AC/DC hybrid microgrids by adding DC-side protection criteria and re-calibrating thresholds.
