Abstract
Fast and reliable dc line protection is one of the key techniques for flexible dc grid with the development of flexible dc transmission technology. However, the serious overcurrent caused by dc faults has a prominent contradiction with the weak overcurrent capability of power electronics. In this article, the high-fidelity dynamic model of the transmission line is first established based on the frequency-dependent characteristic of line parameters. Then, a new dynamic state estimation based protection (DSEBP) scheme is proposed, which uses the redundancy feature of state estimation to improve the dependability of protection. Finally, the actual measurements and the estimated states are compared with the similarity to identify the fault by the chi-square distribution. The proposed method's effectiveness is verified through simulations power systems computer aided design (PSCAD)/electromagnetic transients including DC (EMTDC) and experiments, and the factors affecting the performance of DSEBP are analyzed. Compared with the existing protection methods, the proposed method is more dependable, more sensitive, and available for actual projects.
