Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transmission line fault location, and in particular to a design method for an anti-saturation integrator, a distributed fault location device suitable for transmission lines, and an edge computing method. Background Art

[0002] Currently, transmission line traveling wave monitoring devices have become increasingly common in power system fault detection, but they still have limitations in signal processing and data management. In terms of signal processing, traveling wave location technology relies heavily on the precise detection of transient traveling wave signals generated by faults, particularly the accurate measurement of the arrival time of the traveling wave's head. Traditional integrators present significant design bottlenecks. Commonly used integrators employ a single active or passive design, resulting in performance shortcomings in wide dynamic range signal processing and failing to meet the full-band high-precision and robustness requirements of transmission line fault monitoring. Furthermore, integrators are prone to saturation when faced with strong signal inputs from close-range faults. This phenomenon causes the integrator output to reach its limit, rendering it unable to respond to subsequent critical reflected or transmitted wave signals. This not only results in the loss of traveling wave signal detail but also directly impacts the accurate measurement of the head's arrival time, significantly reducing location accuracy and making it difficult to meet the requirements for high-precision fault location on transmission lines. On the other hand, the traveling wave signal of the power system fault has a wide dynamic range characteristic. The short-distance fault signal is extremely strong while the long-distance fault signal is extremely weak. If the existing integrator lacks anti-saturation design, it will be in a saturated state for a long time when processing strong signals, and it will be difficult to effectively process the weak signals of medium and long-distance faults, which will seriously weaken the reliability of the monitoring device.

[0094] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0095] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in embodiment 1, a method for designing an anti-saturation integrator suitable for a distributed fault location device for a power transmission line comprises the following steps:

[0096] Step S01: Receive the voltage signal output by the flexible Rogowski coil As input signal;

[0097] The induced electromotive force of the flexible Rogowski coil is , where mutual inductance Approximately , is the measured current. Since there is no magnetic core, It does not change with the current, thus avoiding the saturation distortion of traditional magnetic core coils under high current. The overlapping winding of the coil further suppresses the external stray magnetic field and reduces the current nonlinear error.

[0098] Step S02: Detect the input signal using a peak detection circuit , and feedback the corresponding control signal ; When an input signal is detected Reaching the peak value of the input signal When the peak detection circuit output voltage is Through component selection and parameter design, the total peak detection delay is controlled within 5ns. This improves response speed and effectively solves the saturation or distortion problem caused by the detection delay of the first peak in the transient traveling wave signal, providing a more timely control signal for the subsequent AGC circuit.

[0099] Step S03: The gain pre-adjustment module receives the control signal through the voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA1) , when the output voltage of the peak detection circuit When the preset saturation threshold is exceeded, the For input signal Perform preliminary amplitude attenuation to ensure that the subsequent integration circuit operates in the linear region; if it does not exceed the limit, no adjustment is required;

[0100] Step S04: integrating the low-frequency signal through a passive integration circuit, setting the low-frequency cutoff frequency of the circuit to 1 Hz, and selecting components and designing parameters of the passive integration circuit;

[0101] Step S05: amplifying and integrating the high-frequency signal through an active integration circuit, setting the high-frequency cutoff frequency of the circuit to 5 MHz, and selecting components and designing parameters of the active integration circuit;

[0102] Step S06: Based on the component selection and parameter design in the above steps, an anti-saturation integrator that outputs a stable, low-distortion signal is obtained.

[0103] This invention proposes a solution that combines active and passive integrator circuits, effectively expanding the integrator's bandwidth. It also improves the response speed of the peak detection module, enabling rapid gain control. Furthermore, an AGC circuit is designed to automatically adjust the integrator's gain by detecting the amplitude of the input signal, preventing integrator saturation due to excessive input signals.

[0104] Example 2: This example is a further improvement on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0105] Step S02 specifically includes the following steps:

[0106] The present invention uses a super diode circuit and a capacitor C to form a simple peak detection circuit to detect the peak value of the input signal;

[0107] Step S21: Output voltage of peak detection circuit , , is the peak value of the input signal, is the forward voltage drop of the diode (super diode circuit, its forward conduction voltage );

[0108] The feedforward control loop is connected to the gain pre-adjustment module of the subsequent stage, which quickly transmits the detected peak information to the voltage-controlled amplifier VCA1 to achieve real-time gain pre-adjustment of the input signal;

[0109] This loop is designed to ensure a response time of no more than 5ns, enabling fast gain control. The following is a method to improve the peak detection circuit's response speed to ensure a response time of no more than 5ns.

[0110] Step S22: Use a high-speed operational amplifier to construct a super diode circuit, and the high-speed operational amplifier's in-phase terminal input signal , the reverse terminal is connected to the cathode of the diode, and the output terminal is connected through the resistor Connect capacitor C to form a negative feedback closed loop to obtain a peak detection circuit;

[0111] Step S23: Equivalent forward resistance of the super diode circuit Determined by the closed-loop gain of the op amp;

[0112] ;

[0113] Where, is the feedback coefficient; is the subsequent load resistance; is the forward resistance of the diode, ; In order to meet the design of anti-saturation integrator with low-frequency integration accuracy and high-frequency signal response, the op amp is set , and because the present invention selects the Schottky diode BAT54 ,so , ;

[0114] Step S24: Select COG ceramic capacitor, charging time constant , charging to 90% peak time is about ; Because the charging time is proportional to the capacitance C, reducing C can shorten the charging time, but it will reduce the voltage stability during the peak hold period.

[0115] The capacitor C of the present invention is a COG ceramic capacitor with a leakage current of less than 1nA. To ensure the reliability of the circuit, it is necessary to calculate according to the worst case to avoid the voltage drop rate exceeding the design expectation when the actual leakage current is close to 1nA. COG ceramic capacitors, voltage drop rate , meeting the peak hold requirement of transient traveling waves, is the discharge current, which is equal to the leakage current of the capacitor;

[0116] Step S25: Connect the voltage follower OPA690 after the peak detection circuit, and its input impedance , discharge time constant ; The discharge effect can be almost ignored, ensuring that the peak voltage is stable during the detection period.

[0117] Step S26: To avoid the slew limit and increase delay when driving the capacitor, the present invention uses THS3095 as the operational amplifier, which has a maximum rise rate SR = 4000V / µs and a gain bandwidth ;Meet the equivalent bandwidth of transient traveling wave 5-10ns rising edge signal , there will be no phenomenon of extended charging time due to insufficient unity gain bandwidth or low slew rate of the op amp;

[0118] Step S27: In addition, the threshold judgment time of the high-speed comparator needs to be included in the total delay time; the present invention selects LMH7301 as the high-speed comparator, and its delay time Only 3.5ns;

[0119] .

[0120] This delay ensures that peak detection is completed when the first peak of the transient traveling wave arrives.

[0121] Through the above-mentioned component selection and parameter design, the total delay of peak detection can be controlled within 5ns, meeting the real-time capture requirement of 5-10ns for the rising edge of transient traveling waves.

[0122] Example 3: This example is a further improvement on Example 1, and its details are as follows:

[0123] Step S03 specifically includes the following steps:

[0126] Where, is the maximum value of the control voltage of the voltage controlled amplifier, is the minimum value of the control voltage of the voltage controlled amplifier, is the maximum value of the expected peak value of the input signal, is the minimum value of the expected peak value of the input signal; is the output voltage of the peak detection circuit;

[0127] Step S32: Set the saturation threshold to (Set according to the withstand voltage value of the back-end circuit);

[0143] The circuit diagram of the active integrator circuit is shown in the attached Figure 4 .

[0144] Example 6, a distributed fault location device suitable for a power transmission line, comprising a current sensor electrically connected to a main board, a voltage plate, a flexible Rogowski coil, and an integrator designed using the design method of any one of Examples 1 to 5;

[0145] The winding carrier of the flexible Rogowski coil adopts a polyimide flexible circuit board;

[0146] The flexible Rogowski coil uses silicone rubber cable as the skeleton material and non-magnetic polyurethane enameled wire as the winding material.

[0147] In specific implementation, the specific structure of the flexible Rogowski coil includes:

[0148] 1) Winding carrier: polyimide flexible circuit board.

[0149] 2) Coil Material: Silicone rubber cable is used as the frame material, and non-magnetic polyurethane enameled wire is used as the coil winding material. Function: Silicone rubber maintains excellent flexibility in high and low temperature, corrosive environments; it is effectively waterproof, moisture-proof, and highly impact-resistant. Non-magnetic polyurethane enameled wire has extremely low magnetic content, which does not cause interference in the coil, maintaining measurement accuracy in actual measurement environments.

[0150] 3) Winding method: overlapping winding method. The inner winding is centered on the conductor and wound evenly and densely in a clockwise direction. Turns; the outer winding is wound in counterclockwise direction Turn ( ), forming a double-layer reverse winding structure, such as Figure 5 As shown in Figure 1. The opposite ends of the inner and outer windings are connected in series, resulting in a superposition of induced electromotive force (EMF) that cancels out the magnetic field coupling caused by the coil's own inductance. Benefit: Overlapping winding increases the coil's sensitivity to magnetic field changes. Under the same magnetic field, it generates a stronger induced electromotive force, enabling more sensitive monitoring of current changes. It also optimizes the uniformity of the magnetic field distribution, resulting in more accurate measurement results.

[0151] 4) Connection between the flexible Rogowski coil and the integrator: The white lead of the flexible Rogowski coil connects to the positive input of the integrator, and the brown lead connects to the negative input. The integrator should be installed close to the flexible Rogowski coil to reduce interference during signal transmission.

[0152] The coil wires are routed through the plug-in interface and connected to the sampling resistor module. The signal from the sampling resistor module is then connected to the subsequent integration circuit. Both ends of the sampling resistor are connected to the BNC sockets on the protective housing. These BNC sockets are connected to shielded twisted-pair cables, with the shield properly grounded to reduce interference from electrostatic and electromagnetic coupling.

[0153] Through the above solution, the anti-saturation capability of the flexible Rogowski coil forms a synergistic effect with the anti-saturation characteristics and wide-band response characteristics of the integrator, solving the distortion problem of traditional current sensors under large currents from the hardware level. It provides high-fidelity signal input for the subsequent high-precision fault feature identification of TinyML edge computing, significantly improving the core performance of the fault monitoring device.

[0154] Example 7, an edge computing method applied to a distributed fault location device for a power transmission line, using the mainboard of the fault location device of Example 6 for calculation, comprises the following steps:

[0155] Step T01: The initial traveling wave signals (including current and voltage signals) of the transmission line are collected in real time at a high frequency through current sensors and voltage plates. These signals are sampled at a high frequency to ensure that the initial traveling wave information of the fault can be captured;

[0156] Step T02: Perform wavelet transform decomposition on the collected initial traveling wave signal to extract signal features at different scales, and perform preprocessing operations on the features at different scales respectively; the preprocessing operations include filtering, denoising and normalization for subsequent processing;

[0157] Step T03: Extract time-frequency domain features from the preprocessed initial traveling wave signal through discrete wavelet transform (DWT);

[0158] Step T04: Use the extracted time-frequency domain features to train the TCN-LSTM model to improve the terminal fault feature recognition capability;

[0159] Step T05: Perform lightweight design on the trained TCN-LSTM model to make it more suitable for running on a microcontroller, thus obtaining a lightweight model.

[0160] Step T06: Based on TinyML, a specific converter is used to deploy the lightweight model to the microcontroller to perform edge computing, thereby reducing the amount of data uploaded by the terminal and preventing congestion in the communication channel. TinyML further improves the model's operating efficiency by implementing an efficient computing scheduling algorithm on the microcontroller, optimizing the model's calculation order and storage method.

[0161] The present invention combines TCN-LSTM model training and lightweight design, uses TinyML to deploy on a microcontroller to perform edge computing, reduces the amount of data uploaded by the terminal, and prevents communication congestion; its advantages lie in efficiently processing fault signals, improving feature recognition capabilities, optimizing edge computing efficiency, and reducing communication pressure.

[0162] Example 8: This example is a further improvement on Example 7, and its details are as follows:

[0163] Step T04 specifically includes the following steps:

[0164] Step T41: Divide the extracted time-frequency domain features into a training set, a validation set, and a test set at a ratio of 7:2:1. The training set includes multiple types of samples, including traveling wave amplitude, traveling wave polarity, waveform distortion rate, the fault starting point corresponding to the moment of voltage and current mutation, fault characteristic frequency, and transient energy integral. Each type of sample is aligned according to the time series label.
