Abstract: | Overcurrent Protection, as backup protection of the metro medium voltage ring network, is hard to handle with time coordination, leads to no selectivity. To solve the problem, an improved scheme, Digital Communication Overcurrent Protection, is proposed. This scheme, which takes advantage of the communication and the logical processing function of the overcurrent protection device, can accurately judge the fault location and change the action time of protection device dynamically, it can solve the problem of time coordination, to ensure selectivity and speed of the overcurrent protection. Through the analysis of several ring network faults, the principle and method implemented are introduced. The communication mode and the protection setting under the condition of communication fault are also explained. |
