TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The cable branch box is an intermediate connection device in a power distribution network system, and is mainly used for switching, branching and power distribution of cable lines. In the process of urban power distribution network construction, the cable branch box solves the problem of multi-branch connection in long-distance cable transmission. The intelligent cable branch box is based on a traditional metal box structure, and integrates electronic sensing technology, microcomputer processing technology and network communication technology. The intelligent cable branch box is internally configured with a high-voltage load switch, a current-voltage transformer and an intelligent monitoring terminal. The intelligent cable branch box establishes data connection with a power distribution automation master station through an optical fiber network and a wireless communication module, realizes remote monitoring of the operation state of a power distribution line, fault area positioning and load data uploading, improves the observability of the power distribution network, and is a basic support unit for building an intelligent power distribution network and realizing power distribution automation.
[0003] In order to solve the problems of insufficient load monitoring accuracy and limited power supply reliability of the power distribution line, the prior art usually adopts a method of setting a fixed current protection threshold for load control. However, zero drift generated by the sensor in a harsh environment will cause distortion of the collected data. The fixed threshold value logic cannot verify the authenticity of the data, thereby causing misoperation of the circuit breaker. In addition, the fixed threshold value ignores the influence of environmental temperature difference on cable heat dissipation and the thermal inertia physical characteristics of the cable body. In the working condition that the load is short-time over-limit but the temperature of the cable insulation layer does not reach the limit value, the power supply circuit is forcibly cut off, thereby causing power supply interruption of the cable line and waste of cable dynamic transportation potential.

[0119] like Figure 2 As shown, through simulation experiments, the ability of the method in this embodiment to perform adaptive graded response and tap the dynamic transmission potential of the cable under dynamic time-varying load and sudden overload conditions is verified.
[0120] With the resistance of the wires in the branch circuit Equivalent thermal resistance parameters and equivalent heat capacity parameters The physical model parameters are used, with current data containing sinusoidal fluctuations and step disturbances for 600 seconds as input test excitation. The simulation test diagram is shown below. Figure 2 As shown.
[0121] Figure 2 In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents the simulation time t (in seconds), and the vertical axis represents the load control adjustment coefficient. Figure 2 The lower dashed line is the first boundary line, and the upper dashed line is the second boundary line. The first boundary line corresponds to the yellow warning threshold (0.6), and the second boundary line corresponds to the red action threshold (0.85). Using these two boundary lines, the load status monitoring coordinate system is divided into the normal operation area at the bottom, the short-term overload warning area in the middle, and the dangerous action area at the top. The area below the first boundary line is the normal operation area, the area between the first and second boundary lines is the short-term overload warning area, and the area above the second boundary line is the dangerous action area.
[0122] Figure 2 The 0s-300s interval shows the adaptive monitoring phase of the method in this embodiment under dynamic load. During this period, the input current data exhibits periodic fluctuations, and the load control adjustment coefficient adaptively switches between approximately 0.4 (normal operation range) and approximately 0.7 (short-term overload warning range). When the load control adjustment coefficient jumps to 0.7 and enters the short-term overload warning range, although it exceeds the first boundary line, the remaining thermal withstand time calculated by combining the transient thermal circuit equivalent model indicates that the cable insulation temperature has not yet reached the limit withstand temperature. Therefore, only short-term overload monitoring and warning and countdown monitoring are executed, and the disconnection and current limiting command is not executed. This process fully verifies that the method in this embodiment can utilize the thermal inertia of the cable to tap its dynamic transmission potential and avoid the frequent malfunctions of traditional fixed threshold protection during load fluctuations.
[0123] Figure 2The active defense stage of the method of the embodiment in the 300s-600s interval is shown. At 300s, a sudden strong load disturbance causes the load control adjustment coefficient to quickly rise to about 0.9, break through the second boundary line and continuously be in the dangerous action region, it is determined that the cable insulation faces the risk of irreversible thermal damage, and the breaking current limiting instruction is triggered immediately. Subsequently, at about 450s, the current of the branch circuit is forced to be limited, the load control adjustment coefficient instantaneously drops and returns to the normal operation region of about 0.4, and this process verifies that the method of the embodiment can realize accurate state identification and decisive hierarchical response when facing real overload faults, and effectively guarantees the safety of equipment.
[0124] It can be seen through the verification process that the method of the embodiment effectively solves the problems of misoperation caused by distorted sensor data and insufficient flexibility of traditional fixed threshold protection by combining the electrical-thermal coupling credibility verification and the transient thermal circuit equivalent model. The adaptive load control decision model optimized by the particle swarm optimization algorithm ensures the maximum transmission efficiency of the distribution line within the safety boundary.
[0125] In summary, the method of the embodiment exhibits accurate state identification and reliable active defense capability in a complex distribution network load fluctuation environment. At the same time, through multi-dimensional feature fusion and hierarchical response mechanism, an intelligent management and control system for the end of distribution is constructed, which takes into account power supply reliability and equipment safety, has significant technical advantages and application value.

[0127] The perception verification module collects and pre-processes the current data of the branch circuit and the temperature data at the cable joint in real time, performs electrical-thermal coupling credibility verification on the pre-processed current data and temperature data, obtains data confidence factors, and extracts the current change rate and temperature rise rate.
[0128] The trend prediction module inputs the pre-processed current data into a load trend prediction model to obtain a load prediction value in a future set time period.
[0129] The thermal state deduction module combines the load prediction value, uses a transient thermal circuit equivalent model, and solves by a finite difference iteration algorithm according to the thermal characteristic parameters and the limit tolerance temperature of the cable insulation material to calculate the remaining thermal tolerance time to reach the limit tolerance temperature.
[0130] The intelligent control decision module inputs the data confidence factor, the current rate of change, the temperature rise rate, the load prediction value and the residual thermal tolerance time into an adaptive load control decision model adopting a radial basis function neural network architecture, and adopts a particle swarm optimization algorithm for training and optimization to calculate and output a load control adjustment coefficient.
