Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

GB/T38953-2020 is my country's first technical standard specifically for microgrid relay protection. It systematically stipulates the protection configuration requirements for microgrids with voltage levels of 35kV and below. The standard highlights the following technical features:

Protection type Key technical requirements Innovation points
Distributed power supply protection Directional overcurrent protection and overload protection must be configured For the first time, it is clarified that converter type power supplies must be configured with bidirectional protection
Electrochemical energy storage protection Need to be linked with the energy storage converter operation mode Emphasis on protection-control coordination mechanism
Grid connection point protection Mandatory configuration of differential protection + anti-islanding protection Establish a multi-level protection coordination system

Detailed explanation of key technical requirements

1. Distributed power protection

Chapter 5 of the standard specifically stipulates: Converter type distributed power must be equipped with positive and negative overcurrent protection, where positive protection is used to remove internal faults (action time ≤ 0.1s), and negative protection is used to isolate external faults. This is fundamentally different from traditional distribution network protection:

Typical case: Actual measurements of a photovoltaic microgrid show that when the bidirectional protection scheme recommended by the standard is adopted, the fault removal success rate is increased from 82% to 99.6%.


2. Innovation of grid connection point protection

Chapter 8 of the standard proposes a three-level defense system:

  1. Differential protection as the main protection (action time ≤30ms)
  2. Directional overcurrent protection as the backup protection
  3. Frequency and voltage decoupling device as the final guarantee
This configuration can effectively coordinate the protection coordination between microgrids and public grids.


Implementation suggestions

1. Protection setting principle

According to Article 4.2 of the standard, setting needs to consider:

  • Microgrid operating conditions (grid connection/island)
  • Distributed power penetration
  • Fault ride-through capability requirements
It is recommended to use adaptive protection algorithm to achieve dynamic setting.

2. Communication system construction

Article 4.5 of the standard clearly requires the use of DL/T667-103 protocol. In actual deployment, please note:

  • GOOSE message transmission delay ≤4ms
  • Time synchronization accuracy ≤1μs
