Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electric variable monitoring, and in particular to an electric variable regulation monitoring method and system for a distribution box. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion of power systems and the continued growth of electricity demand, the operational stability and reliability of distribution networks, as the terminal link of power transmission, are crucial to the quality of power supply to users. Distribution boxes, as key nodes in distribution networks, undertake the core functions of power distribution and terminal power supply. Real-time monitoring and abnormal regulation of electrical variables (such as current, voltage, and power factor) have become a crucial component of intelligent distribution network management. Currently, the industry's monitoring of distribution boxes is gradually moving towards high-frequency and digitalization. Through the application of sensor acquisition and data transmission technologies, dynamic tracking of electrical variables is achieved. However, there is still room for improvement in the accuracy of abnormality diagnosis and the coordination of fault handling.

[0003] In existing technologies, electrical variable monitoring for distribution boxes typically uses fixed-point sampling, involving a data acquisition and control system. This involves industrial data collection, processing, and analysis, collecting basic parameters such as current and voltage, and triggering alarms when those parameters exceed preset thresholds. Some solutions incorporate auxiliary analysis using distribution network topology diagrams, determining the potential impact of faults based on node connection relationships, and making preliminary judgments about fault types based on the characteristics of a single electrical variable (such as a sudden change in current). Simple protection measures (such as tripping and current limiting) are also implemented to address these anomalies.

[0004] However, existing technologies still have a large number of problems: anomaly detection relies only on fixed thresholds, making it difficult to capture the dynamic change trends of electrical variables and prone to false alarms or missed reports; the analysis of abnormal nodes lacks the temporal and spatial correlation dimensions, and cannot effectively identify the clustering characteristics and propagation patterns of faults; the basis for determining fault types is single, making it difficult to distinguish between local problems and overall grid problems, resulting in insufficiently targeted treatment solutions; there is a lack of a closed-loop monitoring mechanism after fault handling, which cannot ensure that the system returns to a stable state, affecting power supply reliability.

[0048] As a further solution of the present invention, the solution for local problems and overall grid problems is set up respectively, specifically including:

[0049] If it is determined to be a local problem, a current limiting instruction is sent to the main control switch of the branch line to which the distribution box with the abnormal mark belongs, and non-essential circuits are cut off. A disposal sheet containing the location coordinates of the distribution box with the abnormal mark, recommended inspection points, and a temporary power supply plan is pushed to the operation and maintenance terminal, and local dynamic voltage compensation is initiated at the same time.

[0050] If it is determined to be an overall power grid problem, a coordination request and abnormal data within the associated circle will be sent to the regional distribution station, the regional voltage stabilization mode will be activated, a load limit warning will be pushed to industrial users within the coverage of the associated circle, and the backup power supply will be switched to important load nodes.

[0051] As a further solution of the present invention, the continuous monitoring of the fault problem handling results of the distribution box with abnormal markings specifically includes:

[0053] In response to overall power grid problems, the output voltage of the upper-level power node is coordinated and adjusted, and the core electrical variables are continuously monitored at the boundary monitoring points of the associated circle until steady-state operating conditions are reached. All temporary control instructions are then released and a closed-loop fault handling report is generated.

[0054] Another object of the present invention is to provide an electric variable regulation monitoring system for a distribution box, the system comprising:

It should be understood that a person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the present invention can be implemented without using these specific details. In other examples, well-known structures and processes will not be elaborated in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention with unnecessary details. Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0070] Figure 1 The flow chart of the electric variable adjustment monitoring method for the distribution box provided in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0071] S100 collects core electrical variables of each distribution box in the area in real time, including current, voltage, and power factor, and generates dynamic monitoring snapshots. When any of these core electrical variables exceeds a preset threshold, it automatically triggers an abnormality flag and simultaneously records the abnormality flagging time and the geographic coordinates of the corresponding distribution box.

[0072] Distributed sensors are used to synchronously collect the core electrical variables of each distribution box in the area. Distributed deployment is chosen because distribution boxes are usually scattered in different geographical areas. Centralized collection cannot take into account the real-time and synchronization of each point. Distributed sensors can be close to each monitoring node to ensure the consistency of data such as current, voltage and power factor in the time dimension, avoiding temporal and spatial deviations caused by transmission delays.

[0073] The high-frequency sampling method is used to capture instantaneous changes in electrical variables. For example, a sudden increase in current during a short circuit may only last for a few milliseconds. High-frequency sampling can fully record this process and prevent the omission of key abnormal information. At the same time, electrical variable data packets are generated at a fixed period, which not only ensures the regularity of the data and facilitates subsequent analysis according to time windows, but also avoids the impact of data floods on the system processing capabilities.

[0074] Calculate the real-time gradient of each core electrical variable. Quantify the rate of change of the electrical variable through formulas, focusing on the trend of change. For example, although the current value does not exceed the absolute threshold, a rapid increase in a short period of time (i.e., the gradient value is too large) may indicate that the line is about to overload. This dynamic analysis can detect potential risks earlier.

[0075] Comparing the gradient value with the historical benchmark range and requiring continuous exceeding of the range to trigger an abnormal flag is to filter out accidental measurement errors or transient interference, such as value jumps caused by short-term fluctuations in the sensor. The "continuous exceeding" condition can greatly reduce the false alarm rate.

[0076] When an anomaly marker is triggered, its timestamp and geographic coordinates are recorded synchronously. The timestamp ensures the precise moment of the anomaly's occurrence can be traced, while the geographic coordinates provide a spatial anchor for subsequent location of the fault area. The combination of the two ensures that the anomaly information has complete spatiotemporal attributes. Finally, the anomaly variable type, timestamp, and geographic coordinates are packaged into a structured snapshot data packet and stored in a real-time database. This structured format facilitates rapid data retrieval and analysis, while the real-time database ensures immediate data availability, providing low-latency data support for subsequent steps such as spatiotemporal correlation analysis.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the real-time collection of core electrical variables of each distribution box in the area specifically includes:

[0078] S110, using distributed sensors to synchronously collect current, voltage, and power factor data from each distribution box as core electrical variables in a high-frequency sampling manner, and generate electrical variable data packets at a fixed period;

[0079] S120, calculating the real-time change gradient of each core electrical variable. When the gradient value of any core electrical variable continuously exceeds the historical benchmark change range, triggering an abnormal flag, recording the abnormal flag timestamp and the geographical coordinates of the distribution box;

[0080] S130: Encapsulate the abnormal variable type, timestamp, and geographic coordinates of the distribution box into a structured snapshot data packet and store it in a real-time database.

[0081] In this step, the real-time change gradient of each core electrical variable is calculated:

[0082] ;

[0083] in, is the real-time gradient of the core electrical variable $x$; For a distribution box at time The collected core electrical variable values; For the same distribution box at time The core electrical variable values ​​collected, > ; is the time interval between two samples.

[0084] S200: Obtain a distribution network topology map, perform spatiotemporal correlation analysis on distribution boxes with abnormal markers, calculate the abnormal time concentration and spatial distribution density, determine whether a temporal cluster event or a spatial cluster event has formed, and generate a correlation circle;

[0085] A topological map containing the connection relationship and spatial location of distribution box nodes is retrieved from the distribution network management system, providing a dual reference system of "electrical context" and "geographic coordinates" for anomaly analysis. The electrical connection relationship determines the possible propagation path of the fault, while the spatial location reflects the geographical distribution characteristics of the anomaly. The combination of the two lays the foundation for correlation analysis.

[0086] On this basis, the electrical connection paths of the distribution boxes with abnormal marks are analyzed to clarify the neighbor relationships of abnormal nodes. Because the spread of electrical faults often follows the laws of physical connections, the abnormal status of adjacent nodes is more likely to be causally related to the abnormality of the target node. This provides a basis for node screening for subsequent concentration analysis in the time dimension.

[0087] Furthermore, the temporal concentration of anomaly markers for adjacent nodes in the topology is calculated, quantifying the temporal density of anomaly occurrences in adjacent nodes using a formula. The essence of this calculation is to determine whether anomalies are temporally contagious: when the temporal concentration exceeds a threshold, it indicates that anomalies on adjacent nodes cluster within a short period of time, likely originating from the same fault source. The resulting temporal cluster events can effectively identify the temporal diffusion characteristics of faults.

[0088] Calculating the geographic distribution density of abnormal distribution boxes is used to quantitatively analyze spatial dimensions and determine whether anomalies exhibit spatial clustering. When the spatial distribution density exceeds a threshold, it indicates a high degree of geographical concentration of anomalies, likely influenced by a common external factor. The resulting spatial cluster events can capture the regional spread of faults.

[0089] The resulting correlation circles, using a space-time matrix, fuse temporal and spatial clustering events, consolidating scattered abnormal nodes into analytical units with clear spatial boundaries and temporal attributes. This approach transcends the limitations of single-dimensional analysis: temporal clusters reflect the propagation speed and timeliness of faults, while spatial clusters reflect the scope and geographic characteristics of fault impact. Correlation circles combine these two, clarifying both the geographic area affected by the anomaly and the time interval over which the anomaly persisted. They also link the branch line path to the upstream substation, providing a clear analytical boundary for determining whether the fault is a local branch line issue or a grid-wide problem.

[0090] like Figure 3 As shown, the spatiotemporal correlation analysis of the distribution box with abnormal markers specifically includes:

[0091] S210, retrieving a distribution network topology map including the connection relationship and spatial location of distribution box nodes from the distribution network management system, and parsing the electrical connection path of the distribution box with the abnormal mark in the distribution network topology map;

[0092] S220, based on the electrical connection path, identifying a set of adjacent distribution box nodes that are directly electrically connected, calculating a time concentration of abnormality marks of topological adjacent nodes, and generating a time cluster event when the time concentration exceeds a preconfigured time cluster threshold;

[0093] S230, calculating the geographical location distribution density of all distribution boxes with abnormal markers, and generating a spatial cluster event when the distribution density exceeds a pre-configured spatial cluster threshold;

[0094] S240: All distribution box node sets covered by the temporal cluster events and the spatial cluster events are integrated to generate a correlation circle with spatial boundaries and temporal attributes, and the covered branch line paths and upper-level substations are marked.

[0095] In this step, the time concentration of abnormal marks of topological adjacent nodes is calculated:

[0096] ;

[0097] Temporal concentration of abnormal markings for topologically adjacent nodes; The number of nodes with abnormal marks in the time window among the adjacent nodes that are directly electrically connected to the target abnormal distribution box; The timestamp of the latest abnormal mark among adjacent abnormal nodes; The timestamp of the earliest abnormal mark among the adjacent abnormal nodes; is the minimum value;

[0098] Calculate the geographic distribution density of all distribution boxes with abnormal markers:

[0099] ;

[0100] in, is the geographical distribution density of abnormal distribution boxes; The total number of distribution boxes with abnormal marks; The area of ​​the minimum circumscribed polygon formed by the geographical locations of all abnormal distribution boxes;

[0101] Generate a correlation circle with spatial boundaries and temporal attributes:

[0102] ;

[0103] in, ;

[0104] is the space-time matrix of the correlation circle; is the total number of all distribution box nodes in the distribution network; The total number of time intervals covered by the association circle; is a matrix element, 1 represents the The distribution box node is in the The time interval belongs to the correlation circle, that is, it is covered by the time cluster event or space cluster event, and 0 means it does not belong to it.

[0105] S300, determining the fault type, including local problems and grid-wide problems, based on the spatial distribution range of the distribution boxes with abnormal markings within the association circle, the number of involved branches, the change characteristics of the core electrical variables, and the duration of the abnormality, and setting treatment plans for the local problems and the grid-wide problems respectively;

[0106] Analyze the electrical branch topology of the distribution boxes within the associated circle and count the number of independent branches spanned. The essence of this operation is to define the impact range of the fault from the electrical structure level. Abnormalities in a single branch are more likely to be caused by local equipment failures, while abnormalities in multiple branches suggest that the problem may occur in the upper-level power grid or public power supply link, providing a structural basis for the preliminary classification of fault types.

[0107] Dynamic characteristic analysis based on this analysis reveals the nature of the fault through quantified changes in electrical variables. Calculating the relative rate of change of the effective current value before and after the abnormality occurs accurately reflects the severity of the current fluctuation by comparing the magnitude of the current change to the initial value. Compared to simply measuring the current difference, the relative rate of change eliminates the influence of differences in the rated current of different distribution boxes, allowing for a more objective assessment of the presence of problems such as local overload or short circuit.

[0108] The maximum deviation of the effective voltage value during the abnormal period is recorded in order to evaluate the power supply stability of the power grid. Local problems usually only affect the voltage in a small area, and the deviation is limited, while overall problems may cause regional voltage drops and significant deviations.

[0109] When analyzing the power factor phase angle mutation mode, Reflects the change in phase angle, The rate of change is quantified by the time difference, and the combination of the two can distinguish the nature of the fault: for example, the sudden startup of a local device may cause a small and rapid mutation in the phase angle, while an overall reactive power imbalance in the power grid may cause a large and continuous shift in the phase angle, and even be accompanied by a reversal of the reactive power direction. This provides a key basis for distinguishing between local load disturbances and systemic problems in the power grid.

[0110] The rules for determining fault types embody the dual verification logic of structure + characteristics: when the correlation circle covers only a single branch, the relative rate of change of current exceeds the limit and the voltage offset is small, it is determined to be a local problem. This is because the scope of a single branch limits the spread of the fault. The sudden increase in current usually originates from a short circuit or overload within the branch, while the small voltage fluctuation indicates that the upper-level power grid is not significantly affected. When the correlation circle covers multiple branches, the voltage offset continuously exceeds the limit and the reactive power direction is abnormal, it is determined to be an overall power grid problem. This is because the simultaneous impact of multiple branches suggests that the fault is located in the public power supply link, and the voltage sag and reactive power reversal reflect the systemic disorder of the power grid energy transmission.

[0111] The processing plans set for different fault types follow the principle of precise policy implementation: for local problems, load pressure is reduced by limiting current and cutting off non-essential circuits, and local power supply stability is maintained through dynamic voltage compensation. At the same time, processing orders are pushed to guide operation and maintenance to focus on a single point; for overall problems, a regional coordination mechanism is activated, and through distribution station adjustment, load limit warning and backup power supply switching, the load and power supply capacity are balanced at the system level to ensure the continuous operation of important loads.

[0112] like Figure 4 As shown, the determination of the fault type specifically includes:

[0113] S310, analyzing the electrical branch topology of the distribution boxes in the association circle, counting the number of independent branches spanned by the association circle, and performing dynamic feature analysis;

[0114] The dynamic feature analysis includes:

[0115] Calculate the relative rate of change of the effective value of the current before and after the abnormal mark occurs;

[0116] Record the maximum deviation amplitude of the voltage effective value during the abnormal period;

[0117] Analyze the power factor phase angle mutation mode;

[0118] S320: If the following conditions are met simultaneously: the correlation circle covers only a single branch, the current relative change rate exceeds a preset sudden increase threshold, and the maximum voltage deviation amplitude is lower than a preset fluctuation upper limit, then it is determined to be a local problem;

[0119] S330: When the following conditions are met simultaneously: the correlation circle covers multiple branches, the voltage deviation amplitude continuously exceeds the preset sag threshold, and the reactive power direction detected is opposite to the normal power supply mode, it is determined that there is a problem with the entire power grid.

[0120] In this step, the relative change rate of the effective value of the current before and after the abnormal mark occurs is calculated:

[0121] ;

[0122] is the relative rate of change of the effective value of the current; It is the steady-state effective value of the current of the distribution box before the abnormal mark occurs; It is the effective value of the current of the distribution box after the abnormal mark occurs;

[0123] Analysis of power factor phase angle mutation mode:

[0124] ;

[0125] ;

[0126] is the sudden change amplitude of the power factor phase angle; It is the phase angle corresponding to the power factor before the abnormal mark occurs; It is the phase angle corresponding to the power factor after the abnormal mark occurs; is the mutation rate of the phase angle; The timestamp when the phase angle stabilized before the anomaly occurred; The timestamp when the phase angle mutation is completed after the abnormality occurs is and The mutation pattern can be determined.

[0127] In this step, solutions are set for local problems and overall grid problems, including:

[0128] If it is determined to be a local problem, a current limiting instruction is sent to the main control switch of the branch line to which the distribution box with the abnormal mark belongs, and non-essential circuits are cut off. A disposal sheet containing the location coordinates of the distribution box with the abnormal mark, recommended inspection points, and a temporary power supply plan is pushed to the operation and maintenance terminal, and local dynamic voltage compensation is initiated at the same time.

[0129] If it is determined to be an overall power grid problem, a coordination request and abnormal data within the associated circle will be sent to the regional distribution station, the regional voltage stabilization mode will be activated, a load limit warning will be pushed to industrial users within the coverage of the associated circle, and the backup power supply will be switched to important load nodes.

[0130] S400, continuously monitoring the fault problem handling result of the distribution box with abnormal mark, and continuously monitoring the core electrical variables until the stability judgment standard is reached after the fault is resolved, releasing the current limiting instruction and generating a repair report.

[0131] For local problems, the essence of generating repair verification instructions is to activate the effect verification mechanism. After receiving the repair completion signal, the system is not fully restored directly, but the non-essential circuits that were cut off are restored first. The purpose of this operation is to test whether the repaired line can withstand the normal operating pressure by gradually increasing the load, avoiding the load shock caused by a one-time restoration. At the same time, the transient electrical characteristics of the recovery process are monitored, including the impact peak of the current, the instantaneous fluctuation of the voltage, the instantaneous offset of the power factor, etc. These transient characteristics can reflect the stability of the line recovery. If the transient characteristics meet the predefined safety standards, it means that the repair is truly effective. Otherwise, the repair may be incomplete and need to be re-investigated.

[0132] To address overall grid issues, coordinated regulation of the output voltage of upstream power nodes is designed to balance power supply and load at the system level. These issues often involve widespread voltage or power imbalances, making it difficult to restore global stability through regulation of a single node. Therefore, upstream power sources are required to gradually bring the electrical variables within the associated loop back to normal by adjusting output voltage and performing reactive power compensation.

[0133] The core electrical variables are continuously monitored at the boundary monitoring points of the association circle because the boundary nodes are the interface between the overall power grid and the association circle. The state of their electrical variables can reflect the impact of global regulation on the association circle. When the current, voltage, and power factor of the boundary nodes remain stable in the normal range (that is, they reach steady-state operating conditions), it means that the entire association circle has been integrated into normal power grid operation. At this time, all temporary control instructions are released to avoid excessive intervention that affects the economic efficiency of the power grid.

[0134] like Figure 5 As shown, the results of the troubleshooting of the distribution box with abnormal markings under continuous monitoring specifically include:

[0135] S410, generating a repair verification instruction for the local problem, and after receiving a repair completion signal, restoring the cut-off non-essential circuits, monitoring transient electrical characteristics during the restoration process, and confirming that the repair is effective when the transient electrical characteristics meet predefined safety standards;

[0136] S420, in response to the overall problems of the power grid, coordinately adjust the output voltage of the upper power node, continuously monitor the core electrical variables at the boundary monitoring points of the associated circle until the steady-state operating conditions are reached, release all temporary control instructions and generate a fault handling closed-loop report.

[0138] The core electrical variable real-time acquisition module 100 is used to collect core electrical variables of each distribution box in the area in real time, including current, voltage, and power factor, and generate dynamic monitoring snapshots. When any of the core electrical variables is detected to exceed a preset threshold, an abnormality mark is automatically triggered, and the abnormality mark time and the geographical coordinates of the corresponding distribution box are simultaneously recorded;

[0139] The distribution network topology analysis module 200 is used to obtain the distribution network topology, perform spatiotemporal correlation analysis on the distribution boxes with abnormal markers, calculate the abnormal time concentration and spatial distribution density, determine whether a time cluster event or a spatial cluster event has formed, and generate a correlation circle;

[0140] The fault type determination module 300 is configured to determine the fault type, including local problems and grid-wide problems, based on the spatial distribution range of the distribution boxes with abnormal markings within the association circle, the number of branches involved, the change characteristics of the core electrical variables, and the duration of the abnormality, and to set treatment plans for the local problems and the grid-wide problems respectively;

[0141] The fault processing monitoring module 400 is used to continuously monitor the fault problem processing results of the distribution box with abnormal marks, and after the fault is resolved, continuously monitor the core electrical variables until the stability judgment standard is reached, release the current limiting instruction and generate a repair report.
