Scope

GB/T 47510-2026 is the English-translated version of 分布式新能源短路电流计算.

GB/T 47510-2026 is the Chinese national standard covering how much fault current an inverter-connected generator actually contributes - nothing like the several times rated current of a synchronous machine, which is why protection settings derived from classical short-circuit calculations do not work on a network full of them. This is the calculation method that has to replace the classical one. First edition, in force since 1 November 2026. It was issued on 30 April 2026 and takes effect on 1 November 2026, as a first edition. This page is published from the official record of the 2026 edition; the clause text of a standard this recent is not yet in circulation, and the figures, limits and tables it contains are those of the document itself, delivered in full with the English translation.

01 State Administration for Market Regulation The State Administration for Standardization issued a statement.

1.Scope This document specifies the general requirements and calculation models for short-circuit current of distributed renewable energy sources such as distributed photovoltaic power and distributed wind power, as well as distributed energy storage. The type describes the calculation method. This document applies to the calculation of short-circuit current of distributed new energy sources connected to AC power systems with voltage levels of 10(6)kV and below.

4 General Requirements

4.2 The short-circuit current at the fault point includes the short-circuit current of distributed renewable energy sources near the fault point and the short-circuit current of other power sources in the AC power system. The short-circuit current calculation model for distributed renewable energy sources should take into account the characteristics of controlled current sources, and the short-circuit current calculation model for other power sources in AC power systems should also be considered. The type should conform to the requirements of GB/T 15544.1.

4.3 When calculating the maximum short-circuit current at the fault point, the distributed power sources connected to the fault point in the vicinity should be calculated as if they were all connected to the grid.

Equivalent circuit; when zero-sequence control is not available, the equivalent circuit of the zero-sequence model adopts the equivalent circuit of Figure 4e).

5.3.3 For distributed energy storage connected to a 380V AC power system via a combiner box, the negative sequence calculation model for short-circuit current is divided into the following two cases.

a) When negative sequence control is available, the negative sequence model adopts the equivalent impedance model, and the equivalent impedance is calculated according to GB/T 44659.3;

b) Without negative order control, the negative order model is equivalent to an open circuit.

5.3.4 For distributed energy storage connected to a 380V AC power system via a combiner box, the zero-sequence short-circuit current calculation model is divided into the following two cases.

6.1 Balanced Short Circuit
