Identification Method For High-Resistance Ground Faults In Distribution Networks Based On Traveling Wave Fault Feature Difference And Rmt Model, Junjie Shi, Daoyi Gu, Feng Deng, Pengyu Qi, Junwen Luo, Ruijun Li, Chang Tang

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

When a high-resistance grounding fault occurs in a distribution network, the fault signal is weak, and traditional methods based on single-feature extraction are prone to causing protection maloperation. In response, this paper introduces an effective identification method for high-resistance ground faults in distribution networks based on differential features of traveling wave voltage signals and a "retentive network meets vision transformer" (RMT) model. Initially, the traveling wave voltage signal is extracted to implement wavelet packet time-frequency features, and the differences in the time-frequency domain responses between high-resistance ground faults and normal disturbance conditions are visualized. Then, a composite RMT model integrating …

Stochastic Load Disturbance Estimation And Compensation Control Method For Grid-Forming Energy Storage Systems, Xinchi Wei, Chenwei Deng, Chen Fang, Weiyu Wang, Jinsong Liu

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

The grid-forming energy storage system is an effective means to support the independent operation of islanded microgrids. Due to the small overall inertia of the microgrid, its frequency is easily affected by distributed generation and load fluctuations, resulting in a weak disturbance rejection capability of the system. To improve the frequency stability of the microgrid during islanded operation, a stochastic load disturbance estimation and compensation control method for grid-forming converters is proposed. First, an equivalent nonlinear model of the islanded microgrid containing grid-forming energy storage systems is constructed. Then, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is used to describe the stochastic load disturbances …

Fast Identification Algorithm For Wide-Band Oscillation Parameters Based On Sfft, Yongyan Chen, Liang Luo, I Yue Me, Ying Xia, Ying Lu, Zhonghao Pan, Shuang Feng

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

As the "dual-carbon" strategy goals are implemented, the oscillations induced by high-penetration power electronic devices are increasingly characterised by the wide frequency domain, strong time-varying and multimodality. The sampling frequency of modern wide-band measurement devices has been substantially increased accordingly to monitor such oscillations. Traditional fast Fourier transform (FFT) parameter identification methods face a contradiction between identification accuracy and identification speed. To this end, a fast identification algorithm for oscillation parameters of multi-modal wide-band signals based on the sparse Fourier transform (SFT) is proposed. Firstly, by utilizing the frequency-domain sparsity of wide-band signals of power systems, multiple non-zero frequency-domain coefficients …
