Abstract
A DC collection system for a PV power plant contains a large number of feeders. When a fault occurs, the fault current rapidly increases, causing electronic devices to block to protect themselves. This blockage presents a challenge to the protection of the DC collection system because of extremely short data windows. To address this challenge, a protection method based on active control of DC/DC converters is disclosed. The fault current control principle is analyzed and derived so that DC/DC converters can provide an injected low-amplitude and controllable post-fault stable current signal. The disclosed protection method is designed based on identifying the direction of the injected signal. Simulation results indicate that the fault section can be accurately identified and that the disclosed protection method performs efficiently against transition resistance and noise.
