description The flexible DC transmission project of renewable energy has become an inevitable development trend for large-scale renewable energy grid connection. Its two-terminal weak feed AC system is often composed of 100 % power electronic power equipment. The fault control strategy is used at both ends of the line to change the fault current characteristics, leading to a decrease in the performance of traditional differential protection. Based on analyzing the adaptability of current differential protection in the two-terminal weak feed AC system under traditional control strategy (TCS), this paper proposed an improved differential protection for two-terminal weak feed AC system considering negative sequence control coordination strategy. Firstly, the fault characteristics of the two terminal weak feed AC systems are analyzed. On this basis, the adaptability of differential protection under TCS is analyzed, and the quantization function that can quantify the operation performance of differential protection is given. Secondly, based on the problem of the traditional negative sequence control strategy, an improved control strategy is introduced and the operation performance of differential protection under the improved control strategy is studied. Finally, an improved differential protection scheme based on the change of current amplitude is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed protection scheme can resist higher fault impedance(300 Ω) and noise interference(25 dB). In addition, the proposed differential protection scheme is suitable for the protection requirements of the two terminal weak feed AC systems in different scenarios and has higher sensitivity.
