Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power systems, and particularly to an overhead transmission tower lightning current monitoring system and method. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous expansion of the power transmission network and the wide application of high-voltage power transmission technology, as an important part of the power transmission system, the operation safety of overhead transmission towers directly affects the stability and reliability of the power grid. Overhead transmission towers are vulnerable to lightning strikes under high-voltage operating conditions, which not only causes damage to power transmission equipment but also may trigger large-scale power outages. Although there has been some research on lightning current monitoring in the prior art, there are still many deficiencies.
[0003] Traditional lightning current monitoring technologies have great limitations in terms of real-time performance and accuracy. Existing methods mostly rely on a single type of sensor, such as electromagnetic induction sensors or current transformers. These sensors have limited capabilities in capturing the amplitude, waveform, and duration of complex lightning current signals. The prior art usually cannot accurately perceive the structural response characteristics of the tower during lightning strikes, which results in the inability of the lightning current monitoring system to provide comprehensive characteristic data in practical applications and seriously affects the accuracy of the monitoring results.
[0004] Existing lightning strike monitoring methods lack in-depth analysis of the propagation laws of lightning strike events. Current technologies mostly use static models or simple algorithms to evaluate the lightning strike influence range and cannot dynamically capture the propagation path and influence area of lightning strikes in the tower network. This static evaluation method is difficult to meet the real-time requirements in complex lightning strike events, resulting in large errors in lightning strike risk identification and diffusion path prediction and affecting the accuracy of fault rapid location and early warning.
[0005] Existing lightning strike monitoring technologies have deficiencies in data processing and analysis methods. Traditional methods mostly use basic signal processing and statistical analysis means, fail to fully utilize the potential of multi-modal data, lack effective means for joint modeling of lightning current signals and tower structure response data, the fusion processing and feature extraction of data are not deep enough, and it is difficult to build a complete dynamic risk assessment model. The prior art has not been fully optimized in terms of long-term data storage and environmental adaptability. Especially in high electromagnetic interference and bad weather conditions, the stability and accuracy of the monitoring system are difficult to guarantee.
[0006] The dynamic adaptation ability of existing wireless communication modules is weak and cannot effectively support the real-time transmission and remote monitoring of large-scale lightning strike data. Traditional communication path optimization strategies mainly rely on static allocation models and have insufficient adaptability to complex environmental variables, resulting in data transmission delays and unreasonable frequency allocation and affecting the overall efficiency of the monitoring system.
[0007] In the subsequent analysis and decision support of lightning strike events, the existing technologies lack a systematic risk assessment and protection strategy generation mechanism. Most traditional methods are based on fixed rules or preset models, making it difficult to dynamically adjust lightning protection schemes and reinforcement strategies, resulting in the inability to provide targeted decision support in different operating scenarios.
[0008] Therefore, how to provide a lightning current monitoring system and method for overhead transmission towers is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0174] Embodiment 1:
[0175] In a simulation environment, a simulation test of lightning strike events was carried out on a section of overhead transmission line. The transmission line consists of 30 towers, and the impacts of multiple-frequency and high-intensity lightning strike events under thunderstorm weather were simulated to verify the effectiveness of the lightning current monitoring method for overhead transmission towers proposed by the present invention. Traditional lightning current monitoring systems are difficult to capture lightning strike events in real time and accurately in complex environments, and lack dynamic evaluation of the lightning strike impact range, diffusion path and tower structure damage. This embodiment verifies the improvement of the present invention in terms of real-time performance, accuracy and adaptability through simulation tests.
[0176] Install a multimodal sensor module at the key stress positions of each tower, including a Rogowski coil current sensor and a vibration sensor, to collect the amplitude, waveform, duration of lightning current signals and the structural response data of the tower respectively. These sensors transmit the multimodal data to the edge computing unit in real time through a low-power wireless communication module.
[0177] In the simulation environment, lightning strike events with lightning current signal amplitude ranges from 10 kA to 200 kA are introduced to dynamically simulate the impacts of lightning strikes with different intensities on the tower. The edge computing unit uses the local sparse dynamic window optimization algorithm to segment the lightning current signal, extract feature data, and generate a multi-scale feature map of the lightning current. Subsequently, the spatio-temporal adversarial generation network is used to model the propagation law of lightning strikes, generate a spatio-temporal characteristic matrix, and combine with the hypergeometric spectral embedding algorithm to construct a spatial association map of lightning strike events, accurately identifying the lightning strike impact range and diffusion path.
[0178] The simulation further adopts the Bayesian game optimization model to dynamically adjust the wireless communication path and frequency allocation to ensure data transmission stability under high interference conditions. Combining with the multi-task self-supervised learning algorithm, analyze the potential damage degree of lightning strike events to the tower and predict the time evolution trend. Through the remote monitoring terminal, combined with historical simulation data, generate a risk prediction report and protection and reinforcement suggestions for lightning strike events.
