Abstract:

Consisted of batteries, large storage has a vital role in clean energy high penetration power system, short circuit calculation, and protection configuration are very significant. This study begins by proposing a single battery short circuit model, which is then validated via a short circuit test. On the basis of the model, short circuit calculation formulas inside and between clusters are deducted, which can be implemented widely in a large storage system with arbitrary battery numbers and cover all kinds of short circuit conditions. In this case, the error between theoretical calculation and simulation is <4%, which meets the protection analysis criteria. Factors and change rules of the short circuit are analyzed, the more inter batteries the larger the other clusters and short circuit point current when the fault happens inside the cluster, and module difference affecting short circuit current is proposed. The benefits and drawbacks of different protection schemes are examined, a protective configuration scheme based on fuses is offered, and the ideal fuses installation site is investigated. This scheme summarizes the most important short circuit current estimation techniques for each fuse. The protection configuration scheme proposed by this research covers short circuit current calculation, device selection, and many other aspects, which can be applied widely in the early-stage scheme design of different large storage battery substations.
