  • Patent number: 11422204
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for detecting open phase of a startup/standby transformer based on optical CT. A startup/standby transformer in a power plant is in a no-load condition for a long time as a standby power supply. Once a single-phase open phase fault occurs, there is no significant change in the voltage phasor and voltage sequence component of each side. If not found in time, the defect may pose a great threat to the safe operation of the power plant. In the present invention, the optical CT is used to detect a three-phase current of the high-voltage side of the startup/standby transformer. If the current satisfies an open phase criterion, it is determined that an open phase fault occurs, and then, an alarm signal is given after a delay and an operator is informed to handle the fault in time. Therefore, the operation reliability of the startup/standby transformer system in the power plant is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 11374411
    Abstract: The invention relates to an island converter overload limit method and device for a bipolar flexible DC transmission system, and belongs to the field of DC transmission. During stable island operation, both bipolar converters adopt a voltage-frequency droop control strategy; and once it is detected that one converter is overloaded, the control mode of the overloaded converter is automatically switched to active-wattless power control from voltage-frequency droop control to fulfill an overload limit function. The method effectively avoids an overload of the bipolar flexible DC transmission system under island operation, effectively maintains the AC voltage and frequency stable, and has important guiding significance for applying island systems to DC power grids.
