The invention belongs to an underground cable fault positioning method, and provides a traveling wave time
delay estimation method and a related device in order to solve the problem that a traveling wave
signal processing algorithm cannot completely meet high-precision and high-adaptability traveling wave time
delay detection requirements in a complex
electric power scene. Carrying out adaptive
frequency band wavelet deconstruction and detail extraction on the first sensing
signal and the second sensing
signal respectively, and then carrying out dynamic parameter
modal splitting based on variational
problem solution on each reconstructed signal in the obtained multi-layer first reconstructed signal group and the second reconstructed signal group corresponding to the scale; the method comprises the following steps: obtaining a plurality of intrinsic
frequency band modal components with specific sparsity, taking the first intrinsic
frequency band modal component as a main mode, comprehensively considering the energy ratio and cross-correlation sharpness of two main
modes in each layer, and determining a final traveling wave time
delay estimation result according to the
cross correlation coefficient of the two main
modes under the optimal common
decomposition layer. According to the method, the calculation redundancy is reduced while the precision is ensured, and the real-time performance is improved.
