Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of distribution network fault location, and specifically to a method and system for accurate location of traveling waves in distribution networks. Background Technology
[0002] The power distribution network is a critical public infrastructure directly serving end users, and its power supply reliability is crucial to economic and social development. However, power distribution networks are characterized by large-scale equipment, complex network structures, and frequent susceptibility to severe weather, leading to frequent faults. Statistics show that over 85% of power outages originate from the distribution network, and fault location and repair are difficult due to limitations in current technology. Furthermore, my country's power distribution network widely employs low-current grounding methods, which, while beneficial for power supply continuity, may increase the risk of accidents if the network remains energized for extended periods after a fault. Therefore, achieving rapid and accurate fault location is a key step in shortening outage time and improving power supply reliability.
[0003] Currently, numerous studies have been conducted on fault location methods for distribution networks. Among them, traveling wave (TW) location technology, due to its theoretical accuracy of up to 100 meters, is considered an ideal solution for precise fault location in distribution networks. However, unlike transmission networks, which have relatively simple structures and uniform parameters, distribution networks are complex, with numerous line branches and the tendency for traveling waves to attenuate and reflect, posing significant challenges to the application of TW location technology. Existing TW location devices mainly rely on single electrical quantity measurements and employ fixed processing algorithms. They lack the ability to synchronously perceive and collaboratively process multidimensional uncertainties such as geographical factors, environmental factors, and the equipment's own state. They often output a single result as a black box, making it impossible to assess its confidence level. In complex distribution network environments, they are prone to providing incorrect locations, leading to low line inspection efficiency. Furthermore, traditional solutions upload massive amounts of TW data to a master station for centralized processing, resulting in high communication pressure and long location delays, making it difficult to meet the requirements for rapid fault isolation.
[0004] The existing invention patent application document CN120669049A, entitled "A Fault Location and Detection System for Distribution Network Lines," describes a method comprising: a hybrid information acquisition layer, a fault feature extraction layer, an intelligent diagnosis layer, and a fault location layer. The hybrid signal acquisition layer includes a high-frequency transient waveform recording unit, a power frequency measurement unit, a wireless pulse sensor, and a distributed fiber optic temperature measurement unit. The fault feature extraction layer includes a time-frequency analysis module, a preprocessing module, and a three-dimensional feature vector module. The intelligent diagnosis layer includes a convolutional attention network, a spatiotemporal graph neural network, and a transfer learning module. The fault location layer includes a particle swarm optimization module and a fuzzy inference module. While the aforementioned prior art constructs a multi-source information acquisition and deep neural network diagnostic architecture, its core flaw lies in its over-reliance on a black-box model. It fails to consider the inherent clock synchronization error, response error, and environmental disturbances of the sensors. Furthermore, the fixed traveling wave velocity model ignores the impact of frequency-varying characteristics on location accuracy, ultimately failing to quantify the uncertainty of the output results.
[0005] The existing invention patent application document CN120934186A, entitled "A Distributed FA Collaborative Control Method for Edge Computing Nodes in Distribution Network Terminals," describes a method that includes: synchronously acquiring high-frequency electrical and partial discharge signals through edge computing terminals and performing multi-dimensional processing to form a fault feature vector. Each edge node uses a lightweight algorithm to monitor the fault in real time, enhances the features using Hilbert-Huang transform, and broadcasts them to adjacent nodes. Multi-node cross-validation is used to achieve accurate location, and in complex topologies, it links the edge and cloud for collaborative operation. After fault location, dual verification is initiated, and a tripping command is sent through the encrypted GOOSE protocol. The optimal recovery path is searched based on a mixed-integer linear programming model, prioritizing the use of distributed power sources for reverse power supply. The control strategy is dynamically optimized through federated learning and the MADDPG algorithm, and a digital twin model is trained. The aforementioned existing technology focuses on collaborative control and path optimization of multiple edge nodes, but its underlying location relies on Hilbert-Huang transform for feature enhancement, which is susceptible to mode mixing, leading to inaccurate wavefront calibration. Furthermore, the line length model does not consider dynamic environmental factors such as sag and temperature, and it lacks a mechanism for propagating and fusing the measurement uncertainties of each node in multi-node cross-validation.
[0006] The centralized processing architecture used in existing technologies results in enormous pressure on the uploading of massive amounts of traveling wave data and high communication latency, making it difficult to meet the millisecond-level real-time positioning requirements for rapid fault isolation. At the same time, the fixed algorithms used in existing technologies lack the ability to perceive and dynamically compensate for the multi-dimensional real-time status of the line and the environment. The models are disconnected and the confidence level of the results cannot be quantified, making the positioning results unreliable in complex scenarios.
[0007] In summary, existing technologies suffer from poor real-time performance in fault location and isolation, and unreliable location results in complex scenarios. Summary of the Invention
