The application provides a
power grid fault traveling wave positioning method based on a fusion optimization
algorithm, comprising: establishing a dynamic virtual fault framework model of a
power grid, randomly generating a plurality of virtual fault particles containing position coordinates, and constructing an initial virtual fault particle cluster; using a shortest path
algorithm to calculate the topological
path length of each virtual fault particle in the virtual fault particle cluster to all measurement points in the
power grid, and then calculating a virtual fault space-time
feature vector; setting the traveling wave
arrival time when a real fault occurs as a target clustering
centroid in a feature space, and calculating a
feature matching fitness; constructing a non-convex
optimization problem with the optimal
feature matching fitness as a target, solving the problem using a fusion optimization
algorithm, and thus obtaining a fault positioning result and a traveling
wave velocity, so as to realize traveling wave positioning. The application can solve the problems of
local optimum,
slow convergence speed and high calculation cost in the prior art.
