Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for protecting an electrical installation against a short circuit.
  • the method should allow an improved design of safety fuses within the system, which takes into account the individual conditions of the system and their influence on any short-circuit current that may occur to a greater extent than was previously the case.
  • the invention also relates to a measuring system for carrying out the method.
  • EVN energy supply network
  • the batteries can take excess active power from the EVN, store it, and return it to the EVN in a low frequency state.
  • the storage power plants typically have an energy content of between a few MWh and 100 MWh and include a large number of battery modules as DC sources. These are electrically connected to each other using a combination of series and parallel circuits. Usually, several battery modules are electrically connected to one another in the form of a series circuit to form a so-called battery string. Several battery strings are in turn connected parallel to one another with a first busbar, a so-called string busbar, and thus form a group. Several groups of this type are in turn connected parallel to one another with their string busbars to a second busbar, a so-called group busbar, which in turn is electrically connected to an input of the inverter.
  • the immense energy content of such storage power plants can, in the event of a fault, for example in the event of a short-circuit fault in a component in the connected Inverters, quickly lead to a fault current of 500 kA to 1000 kA, which, if not interrupted in time, can cause serious damage to the inverter or other components of the storage power plant, and possibly also to people in the vicinity.
  • each battery string is usually connected to its associated string busbar via a fuse—a so-called string fuse.
  • Each string busbar is connected to the group busbar assigned to it via another fuse - a so-called group fuse.
  • electromechanical switches can also be provided.
  • the triggering behavior of a fuse is mainly characterized by its triggering current and its so-called limit load integral, also known as melting integral or Ft value. If the tripping current is exceeded, the safety fuse is heated by the current flow passing through it in such a way that it can no longer, at least not completely, dissipate the power loss transmitted by the current to the safety fuse to the environment in the form of waste heat. As a result, the fuse will heat up, melt and break the circuit.
  • the tripping current of the safety fuse acts as a kind of trigger parameter for the tripping process, with the tripping process only starting/being triggered at a current above the tripping current. If the current is below the tripping current, the fuse will not trip.
  • the fuse load limit integral is a measure of the energy required to blow the fuse. It therefore describes the dynamics of the triggering of the fuse.
  • a fast-acting fuse has a comparatively small load limit integral relative to a slow-acting fuse.
  • connection-immanent in the following, is relevant here.
  • long supply lines and their connection-immanent inductance can lead to a throttling of the rise in the short-circuit current.
  • connection-immanent in the connection has a relatively small inductance inherent in the connection, the rise in current is significantly steeper.
  • a fuse that reacts too sluggishly the current, depending on the rate of increase, may already have risen to values that damage components of the inverter and/or other components of the storage power plant before the fuse melts.
  • a fuse that reacts too quickly can lead to an undesired triggering of the fuse that is not associated with a real fault.
  • quick-reacting fuses usually also have a higher power loss during normal operation of the storage power plant, which is also undesirable.
  • the switching device comprises at least one semiconductor switch arranged in a current path, electrical measuring devices and a control device, which is designed to evaluate the measured values determined and to control the semiconductor switches. When specific measured values are recorded, the control device automatically triggers specific activations of the semiconductor switches.
  • the conditions for driving the semiconductor switches can be transmitted to the control device by means of an initiation process via a data interface.
  • fuses that are structurally identical per se can be programmed with a different tripping behavior.
  • electronic fuses of this type are usually associated with higher costs, which are disadvantageous in particular when there are a large number of fuses to be used.
  • rapid and reliable triggering of the electronic fuse depends on proper and error-free operation of the semiconductor switch. It has been shown that safety fuses, if they are selected correctly, generally operate more error-free and more reliably.
  • the publication DE 3446958 A1 discloses an arrangement for monitoring short circuits or overloads in electronic proximity switches.
  • a current detection is provided in the output circuit, which influences the current flow by switching off or limiting.
  • a query cycle for current detection has a delay time for the influence and a waiting time between two queries, the waiting time being significantly longer than the delay time, and only the length of the first delay time is selected with regard to a time constant of the line to be connected.
  • the publication DE 199 46 826 A1 describes a safety device for an electric circuit in vehicles with a safety fuse which permanently interrupts the electric circuit when the current load is above the rated current.
  • the safety device has at least one thermal heating element, which is in thermal connection with the safety fuse and additionally supplies a limited amount of heat to the safety fuse. The limited amount of heat supplied by the heating element is less than the energy required to trigger the safety fuse.
  • Document DE 19741828 A1 discloses an electrical safety switch for motor vehicles, in which a positive pole of a vehicle battery is connected to the vehicle electrical system via a fuse link. A negative pole of the vehicle battery is connected via a short-circuit actuation device to a connection of the fuse link that is on a supply line to the vehicle electrical system. If the vehicle is involved in an accident, the short-circuit actuation device uses an information transmitter to short-circuit the battery connections.

  • the evaluation unit and the control unit can each be present as separate and/or separate units. As an alternative to this, however, it is also possible for the control unit and the evaluation unit to be combined in the form of a common control and evaluation unit.
  • the evaluation unit can also be set up to signal a correct or incorrect design of a fuse present in the electrical system, particularly in the DC circuit of the electrical system, depending on the analysis of the detected short-circuit current Isc, in particular its time profile. To this end, it can have appropriate signaling means.
  • the evaluation unit can have a communication unit or be connected to one.
  • a short circuit is brought about in a targeted manner via the switching unit on the actual electrical installation, in particular at a suitable point between the DC source and the DC load.
  • the switching unit can be installed where, for example after a risk analysis, a possible short-circuit fault can be assumed to be probable. This can also involve a number of points at which a short circuit is generated one after the other by means of the switching unit.
  • the DC source or at least a part of the DC source, drives an increasing short-circuit current Isc through the switching unit and that part of the connection-immanent impedance between the DC source and the DC load through which the switching unit with the short-circuit current Isc driving DC source is electrically connected. This results in an increase in the short-circuit current Isc over time, which is recorded by one or more current sensors.
  • the increase in the short-circuit current over time depends on the proportion of the impedance inherent in the connection between the DC source and the DC load that caused the short-circuit in the DC source. In concrete terms, this is that part of the connection-immanent impedance that is located between the DC source driving the short circuit and the switching unit.
  • the connection-immanent impedance of the connection between DC source and DC load summarizes the impedances of all components that are inherent in the connection between DC source and DC load of the actual system.

  • the parameters Isc.o and T are characteristic of the DC circuit, in particular of the current short-circuit path of the DC circuit.
  • the parameter Isc.o is a theoretical maximum current that would flow in the short-circuit path in the extreme case of long times (t -> °°) if the components arranged in the short-circuit path would withstand this current load without being damaged or destroyed beforehand.
  • the value of the parameter Isc.o mainly depends on the internal resistance Ri of the DC source and the resistive impedance component R a of the connection-immanent impedance - also slightly on the ohmic resistance of the switching unit RSE causing the short-circuit. In many cases, however, the internal resistance Ri is high compared to the remaining resistive components Ra and RSE and is therefore the limiting factor in relation to the maximum short-circuit current Isc.o of the DC source.
  • the DC time constant T describes the dynamics of the increase and depends according to on the inductive impedance component L.
  • the inductive impedance component is influenced on the one hand by the length of the supply lines between the DC source and the DC load, or more precisely in the short-circuit path.
  • the inductive impedance component L is also influenced, for example, by the laying of positive and negative supply lines relative to one another. In concrete terms, for example, positive and negative supply lines that are close together have a lower inductive impedance component L than the supply lines that are otherwise of the same length but are laid further apart from one another.
  • the short-circuit current Isc is interrupted when the termination criterion is met by opening the switching unit.
  • the short-circuit current Isc is usually interrupted well before the theoretical maximum current Isc.o characterizing the equilibrium case is reached, ie at significantly lower values of the short-circuit current Isc.
  • the repeated checking of the termination criterion ensures that no component of the electrical system is damaged when the short circuit is caused.
  • the value pairs of short-circuit current Isc(t) and the corresponding time t detected during the short-circuit that was caused are analyzed.
  • the time constant T which characterizes the increase dynamics of the short-circuit current
  • T can be determined via the time profile of the short-circuit current. According to the present invention, it is not necessary to detect the lapse of time in the entire current range. Rather, it is sufficient to detect only a relatively short period of time after the short circuit was brought about.
  • the remaining time profile can be extrapolated with knowledge of the initial time profile and in particular with knowledge of the basic exponential time behavior according to Equation 1.
  • a design parameter for a fuse that is to be installed in the DC circuit, in particular in the short-circuit path can be determined from the time profile of the short-circuit current Isc. If the check reveals that a fuse installed in the electrical system is not designed correctly, the fuse installed in the system can be exchanged for a fuse with a different tripping behavior.
  • the connection of the DC source to the DC load can also be changed, and via this the inductive impedance component L of the impedance inherent in the connection can be changed.
  • the routing of the supply lines relative to one another and/or their length can be changed, which causes the inductive impedance component L to change.
  • a similar procedure can be followed if the determined design parameters of the fuse still to be installed indicate a fuse that is not available in this form.
  • the inductive impedance component L of the real electrical equipment can be modified as follows that an available backup can be used.
  • the fuse to be checked and/or the fuse still to be installed can be designed in particular as a fuse.
  • the switching unit Before the short circuit is brought about via the switching unit, individual components of the electrical system can be separated from the DC circuit.

This is possible in particular when the corresponding components do not affect the short-circuit current Isc in the DC circuit at all or only to an insignificant extent. Specifically, for example, before and during the short circuit that is brought about, the DC load can be separated from the DC circuit if the switching unit—as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5—is arranged in parallel with the DC load.

  • a possibly deviating replica of an electrical system and subsequent tests under laboratory conditions are deliberately avoided.
  • This takes account of the rise behavior of the short-circuit current Isc, which varies greatly in some cases, in different electrical systems despite at least largely the same DC sources and/or DC loads.

  • the compromise between the two fundamentally opposing parameters "low on-state resistance” and “highly dynamic triggering behavior" of a fuse is much better possible by taking into account the actual connection-immanent impedances of the electrical system in question than using conventional laboratory tests or simulation calculations.
  • the measuring system can be produced comparatively inexpensively. It can be designed to be mobile, with a specific measurement system divided into a variety of electrical Systems installed, and can be removed again after the process has been carried out.
  • the method can be automated and carried out in a simple manner. Damage to components of the electrical system is largely ruled out, since the short-circuit caused is only brief, includes constant monitoring of the short-circuit current Isc during the short-circuit caused, and is limited in its maximum occurring short-circuit current by a timely current interruption.
