Description

Photovoltaic system direct current parallel arc protection and positioning system with reverse perfusion function
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic equipment protection, in particular to a photovoltaic system direct current parallel arc protection and positioning system with a reverse perfusion function.
Background
The system voltage of the photovoltaic power generation system powered by direct current is usually up to 1000V or even 1500V, if phenomena such as contact drop, device aging, insulation breakage, poor grounding and the like occur, direct current arc faults (including series arcs and parallel arcs) are easy to occur, and the direct current arc faults can cause fire accidents, so that the photovoltaic power generation system can be damaged, and meanwhile, the safety of residential buildings, industrial and commercial facilities, public facilities and the like is threatened. In view of the hazard of dc arc faults in photovoltaic power generation systems, safety regulations generally require that rooftop photovoltaic power generation systems having dc voltages above 80V must be equipped with series dc arc fault breakers to break the circuit upon occurrence of a dc arc to reduce the fire hazard due to the arc fault. However, when a series arc or a parallel arc is generated, the current of the photovoltaic power generation system generally cannot reach the tripping current of an arc protection device such as a direct current arc fault circuit breaker, so that the arc cannot be extinguished in time.
Series arcs, also known as arcing, are often caused by poor contact of the inter-component cable plugs, poor connection of the series cables to the combiner box or inverter, and the like. The parallel arc is mainly caused by the short circuit of positive and negative polarity conductors caused by line breakage or the short circuit between photovoltaic string cables. When the string cable is mechanically squeezed or worn out, arcing can occur between the positive and negative electrodes, or between different strings, which is a parallel arc fault. There is also a situation that can lead to parallel arcs, and when the system has a series arc that is not handled in time, the heat of the series arc burns out the cable insulation, and the parallel arc is also generated. The series fault arc can be extinguished by cutting off the direct current bus or the corresponding photovoltaic group string of the photovoltaic power generation system, but the parallel fault arc cannot be extinguished, and even larger current can be caused to pass through an arc passage, so that the arc burns more severely.
At present, a plurality of groups of serial photovoltaic inverter suppliers in the market all push out photovoltaic inverter products with built-in AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit-Interrupter) functions, and a photovoltaic inverter with built-in AFCI Arc detection identifies direct current Arc faults by detecting Arc noise, breaks a direct current Circuit and eliminates arcs. An AFCI, i.e., an arc fault circuit interrupter, is a protection device that, by identifying an arc fault signature in a circuit, opens a power circuit before the arc fault develops into a fire or the circuit becomes shorted. It is noted that the AFCI of current photovoltaic inverters can typically detect and extinguish only series arcs, while parallel arcs cannot be detected and eliminated by current AFCI functions. Although the module-level quick turn-off technology can disconnect each module in the photovoltaic power generation system, thereby eliminating direct-current high-voltage and series-parallel arc faults existing in the photovoltaic power generation system array, the current module-level quick turn-off technology cannot quickly realize the elimination of parallel arcs because the AFCI function of the current photovoltaic inverter cannot detect the parallel arcs, the destructive power of the parallel arcs is often 10 times or more than that of the series arcs, and the potential safety hazard is larger.
In order to solve the problem that AFCI cannot detect parallel arcs, in the scheme provided by the patent with publication number CN102472789B entitled "method for detecting arcs in photovoltaic system and photovoltaic system thereof", an arc detection signal is detected from a direct current path by digital low-pass filtering, and a series arc and a parallel arc are distinguished according to the detection signal. If a series arc is detected, the working state of the photovoltaic inverter is changed to a safe state, the photovoltaic inverter basically generates no alternating current, and the current flowing in the direct current path is blocked, so that the series arc is extinguished. On the other hand, if a parallel arc is detected, the dc path is shorted by one switch, and thus the parallel arc voltage becomes substantially zero, thereby extinguishing the arc. However, the method needs to distinguish and detect parallel arcs from serial arcs, and additional hardware components are required, which can cause additional cost, meanwhile, various noises and interferences in the normal running state of the photovoltaic power generation system can also bring influence to detection, and experiments show that various noises and interferences in a direct current loop are enough to cause misjudgment and misoperation of fault arc detection equipment when the photovoltaic power generation system is in normal running, so that the fault detection equipment is difficult to perform normal functions, if the fault arc detection equipment cannot guarantee the accuracy of arc fault judgment, particularly for parallel arc faults with larger harm, unnecessary power generation loss can be caused, the benefits of the photovoltaic power station are influenced, and serious consequences such as fire disaster can be caused.
And when a parallel arc or short circuit fault occurs in one of the parallel multi-path photovoltaic module strings, current of other groups of strings in the parallel multi-path photovoltaic module strings can flow back, and then the parallel arc or short circuit fault also occurs, so that the fault range is enlarged, and the whole power generation amount of the photovoltaic power station is reduced. At present, a method for avoiding current backflow of multiple parallel photovoltaic module strings generally adopts anti-reflection diodes, namely anti-reflection diodes are added in each photovoltaic module string branch, however, the anti-reflection diodes can increase certain electric loss, and the failed photovoltaic module string cannot be accurately positioned.
CN 211127119U provides a current anti-backflow protection circuit and a photovoltaic grid-connected device, which accurately detect each path of series current signal through a high-precision direct current sensor, when a fault is detected, the direct current breaking switch can be actively controlled, trip protection and active alarm are carried out in a short time, and series anti-backflow protection is realized.
Therefore, in summary, there is an urgent need for a dc parallel arc protection and positioning system with a reverse current function for a photovoltaic system, which does not need to add a reverse current protection detection and switch protection circuit with a reverse current protection and high accuracy in a string branch of the photovoltaic system, and can realize quick turn-off of the parallel arc and accurate positioning of the parallel arc or a short circuit fault occurrence position, and start the anti-current protection, so that the operation of the photovoltaic power generation system can be quickly recovered after the parallel arc and the short circuit fault occur under the premise of ensuring the safety of photovoltaic power generation.
