Abstract:

 The traditional backup protection has some drawbacks, including difficult protection setting, long time delay and complicated coordination. Given this background, this paper proposes a fault identification and wide-area backup protection strategy based on limited phasor measurement units (PMUs). Firstly, the whole power network is divided into several backup protection zones (BPZs) based on the placement of PMUs. Once a fault occurs, the electrical quantities are utilized to identify the faulted BPZ, so as to quickly narrow down the scope of suspected fault sections. Then, we present fault identification method and wide-area backup protection strategy based on the analytical model. When the main protection fails to clear the fault, this analytical model can comprehensively use the alarm information of main protection, circuit breaker action alarm, backup protection startup information and power direction relays to point to the information, adopt tabu search (TS) algorithm to seek the optimal fault hypothesis, and determine the malfunction devices through analyzing the action logics of protection and circuit breaker. Based on the identified malfunctions, the corresponding backup protection strategy is initiated to prevent the fault from spreading. The simulation results show that the proposed method is feasible and has strong fault tolerance ability.
