不同行波方向元件原理与判据的比较

为了研究新型行波方向元件以满足高压输电线路的需要,有必要对现有行波方向元件的本质和相互之间的联系进行深入分析。该文讨论了现有的各种行波方向元件的内在联系,利用方向行波统一了各种行波方向元件的原理以及判据,并给出了各种方向元件在原理和性能上的区别。分析和计算结果表明:各种行波方向元件所依赖的基本物理现象是一样的,它们在本质上是统一的。但是由于各种行波方向元件的判据表达式并不相同,所以它们在性能上仍然存在差异,其中波阻抗方向元件、比率式行波方向元件和幅值比较式行波方向元件具有相对优越的保护性能。     

Identification of Transient and Permanent Faults

A new algorithm was developed for arcing fault detection based on high-frequency current transients analyzed with wavelet transforms to avoid automatic reclosing on permanent faults. The characteristics of arc currents during transient faults were investigated. The current curves of transient and permanent faults are quite similar since current variation from the fault arc is much less than the voltage variation. However, the fault current details are quite different because of the arc extinguishing and reigniting. Dyadic wavelet transforms were used to identify the current variation since wavelet transform has time-frequency localization ability. Many electric magnetic transient program (EMTP) simulations have verified the feasibility of the algorithm.
