Abstract:

When a fault occurs in the outgoing line of a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS), the positive-sequence fault component impedance characteristics differ significantly from traditional power sources due to the influence of its low voltage ride-through (LVRT) control strategy. Based on BESS-related technical specifications, this paper categorizes the operational mode transition methods into three types according to BESS charging/discharging modes before and after faults. Furthermore, taking into account the LVRT control strategy of BESS, we derive expressions of the positive-sequence fault component impedance angle under different operational mode transitions, thereby analyzing the impacts of various influencing factors on the impedance angle. Accordingly, the adaptability of positive-sequence fault component directional elements in BESS-integrated scenarios is investigated. Finally, the correctness of theoretical analysis is verified using the Matlab/Simulink simulation platform.
