Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electric power operation and maintenance, and in particular to a quality analysis method for automatic evaluation of remote business functions of metering equipment. Background Art

[0002] The State Grid's electricity consumption information collection system has been promoted nationwide since 2010. It has played an important technical foundation support role in business applications such as power trading settlement, power calculation, demand side management, distribution network emergency repair, anti-electricity theft inspection, and line loss management. As an important part of the electricity consumption information collection system, the quality of the energy meter directly affects the data quality and application level of the user's electricity consumption information, the accuracy of the power user's electricity consumption metering, and the safe, stable and economic operation of the system, and even directly related to the reliability of power supply. The quality assessment of the energy meter is one of the important means to ensure and improve the quality of the energy meter, and it is a key link in the management of the entire life cycle of the energy meter. In addition to the collection of electricity and load, the energy meter also collects various types of event data. With the promotion of the State Grid's non-metering business of smart meters over the years, there are higher requirements for the collection of high-frequency loads and full data of the energy meter. The integrity of the remote business function of the energy meter greatly supports the application level of various non-metering business of the electricity consumption information collection system. Constructing various business evaluation quality assessment models for electricity meters to comprehensively evaluate the quality of electricity metering equipment can assist power grid companies in further managing suppliers and provide an objective and scientific basis for power grid companies to conduct electricity meter quality assessment and supervision. It has very important practical significance and engineering value for the construction of smart grids.

[0003] The centralized verification of traditional metering equipment after storage is mainly carried out for various standards and specifications of the meter, but there is no complete evaluation process after on-site installation and meter upgrade. After the installation and upgrade are completed, the operator cannot know whether the various business functions of the metering equipment can be carried out normally after the installation and upgrade. The meter has many business function categories, various data items, and different collection frequencies. Under this extensive management mode, it is impossible to effectively control the newly installed metering equipment and upgraded metering equipment in the province. On the other hand, the upgrade directly provided by the manufacturer cannot guarantee 100% reliability, and it is easy to cause metering equipment failure during the upgrade, which has a certain impact on the safety and stability of the power grid operation. Secondly, with the recent promotion of multi-core smart energy meters led by the State Grid to formulate standards, the legal part and the illegal part are separated. The upgrade of the illegal part will become the norm, so the remote evaluation of the business functions of metering equipment has also become a hot and common business. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved and the technical task proposed by the present invention are to improve and perfect the existing technical solutions and provide a quality analysis method for automatic evaluation of remote business functions of metering equipment, so as to achieve the purpose of comprehensive and accurate audit of newly installed and upgraded metering equipment. To this end, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0005] A quality analysis method for automated evaluation of remote business functions of a metering device comprises the following steps:

[0006] 1) Obtain information on installation and upgrade of metering equipment;

[0007] 2) Based on the acquired metering equipment information, remote evaluation of the electricity collection service, remote evaluation of the load collection service, and remote evaluation of the full event collection service are performed on the corresponding metering equipment;

[0008] 3) Determine whether the remote evaluation of the power collection service, the remote evaluation of the load collection service, and the remote evaluation of the full event collection service are all qualified. If so, it is considered qualified; if not, it is considered unqualified; the qualified refers to the qualified corresponding to the newly installed metering equipment or the qualified upgraded metering equipment;

[0009] 4) Record and handle unqualified measuring equipment; handling includes replacement and re-upgrade.

[0011] As a preferred technical means: in step 2), the remote evaluation of the power collection service includes the following steps:

[0012] 1A) Select data items for comprehensive collection and evaluation; the data items include daily frozen reverse active total electric energy, daily frozen reverse active electric energy rate 1, daily frozen reverse active electric energy rate 2, daily frozen reverse active electric energy rate 3, daily frozen reverse active electric energy rate 4, daily frozen one-quadrant total reactive electric energy indication, current one-quadrant total reactive electric energy, daily frozen four-quadrant total reactive electric energy indication, current four-quadrant total reactive electric energy, daily frozen forward active total electric energy, daily frozen forward active electric energy rate 1, daily frozen forward active electric energy rate 2, daily frozen forward active electric energy rate 3, daily frozen forward active electric energy rate;

[0013] 1B) Record the collection completeness rate m days after installation or upgrade;

[0015] F i Represents the overall collection completeness rate after installation and upgrade; F -i Represents the overall collection completeness rate before installation and upgrade; the calculation formula is: F -i The calculation method of F i is calculated in the same way;

[0016] When |F i -F -i |>u, u=1%, and all data items including daily frozen reverse active total electric energy have been successfully collected, then the remote evaluation of the electric energy collection service is judged to be qualified;

[0017] 1D) If there is no data from m days before installation, and the user is a new user, then a comparison is performed, the total number of days m since the first installation and upgrade, the current day i, and the cumulative collection completeness rate F of the above data items success rate i , the total number of electric energy meters in this batch is N, where N represents the sum of the batch equipment currently being evaluated.

[0029] I i It is the average load collection success rate of the whole province (averaged by each terminal with load collection tasks), calculated by the system. The system calculation logic is: the one-time collection success rate of 96 load points of all electricity meters per day (the number of load points divided by the total number of points).

[0030] As a preferred technical means: m = 7 days. 7 days is a week, including rest days and working days, which makes the data collection more accurate, improves the accuracy of calculation, and avoids excessive data that affects the calculation amount.
