Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention specifically relates to a method for locating an underground cable grounding fault, and belongs to the technical field of data processing methods for locating underground cable grounding faults using a matrix (G06F17 / 16). Background Art

[0002] Underground cables have an insulating outer layer, which can effectively prevent cable aging, insulation shedding, and corrosion by acidic and alkaline gases and water vapor in the atmosphere, thereby improving the safety of power transmission. The laying method of underground cables avoids the failure of overhead lines due to external factors such as wind, rain, and animal bites, and improves the reliability of the power grid. However, the insulation layer of the cable will corrode under harsh environmental conditions such as high temperature and humidity, the insulation layer will be exposed due to improper operation during construction, or the cable will be damaged by various external factors such as lightning strikes and animal bites, which will cause grounding faults in underground cables. When a grounding fault occurs in an underground cable, it will not only affect the normal operation of the power system, but may also pose a threat to personal safety. Therefore, after the cable is laid, detection measures need to be taken to detect the fault in time and deal with it in the early stage of the fault or before serious consequences occur, so as to ensure the safety and stability of the power system. The Chinese patent application number is CN202310455087.0, and the patent name is: Traveling wave positioning method and device for multi-branch faults in distribution network based on time difference matrix data fitting. This method constructs a reference time difference matrix under simulated fault conditions and compares it with the fault time difference matrix after the actual fault occurs to identify the main fault line. However, this strategy does not fully consider the differences in downlink propagation speeds in different fault scenarios. At the same time, the matrix fitting of each value leads to a sharp increase in calculations, huge storage requirements, and a prolonged fault judgment cycle. In addition, the fault location process also requires the use of a complex distance point calculation method, which makes the entire location method too cumbersome and has poor location accuracy.
