Abstract:Taking override trip of protective device in DC power supply system of a 500 kV substation during hand-over test for example,the stage difference coordination is analyzed. Firstly, according to the constraints on parameters of DC power supply system, the problems existing in stage difference coordination is studied. And then, based on the detailed configuration and rectification difficulty, a solution is proposed to realized the stage difference coordination between upper-stage protection and lower-stage protection by reducing the DC cable section to control short-sircuit current level. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by experiments.
