Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of electric power systems and relates to a method for predicting loose cable joints, and in particular to an early warning method for loose cable joints in a power distribution cabinet based on real-time data collection. Background Art

[0002] During the production and maintenance process, the cable joints are often in a loose operating state due to incorrect joint manufacturing process, loose crimping, loose welding, mechanical vibration, electric repulsion, thermal expansion, corrosion and oxidation of the cable joints, etc., which will lead to high-resistance connection faults in the power supply line, reduce power supply reliability, voltage imbalance, reduce the working efficiency of electrical equipment, and affect power transmission. If the fault is not controlled in time, long-term overheating will produce gas discharge phenomena such as spark discharge, glow discharge, fault arc discharge, etc., and eventually cause cable fire accidents.

[0003] At present, the existing technical solutions for detecting and preventing loose cable joint failures have many shortcomings, such as inaccurate fault detection, poor real-time performance, complex operation, high cost, and high risk. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention establishes a comprehensive evaluation expression for cable joint loosening warning by comprehensively analyzing the accident data of cable joint loosening and the correspondence between the online monitoring data and the joint failure data in the high-voltage distribution cabinet, and proposes a cable joint loosening warning method. The method can accurately warn of loose cable joints in distribution cabinets under different conditions, detect faults in a timely and rapid manner, and cut off the faulty lines.

[0005] A method for early warning of loose cable joints in a power distribution cabinet based on real-time data collection, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Use a variety of sensors to collect electrical parameters and external environmental parameters that affect the loose state of the cable;

[0007] Step 2: After data screening and calculation of the collected electrical parameters and external environmental parameters, the correlation coefficients obtained form a complete cable joint loosening accident data feature model, which is used to determine the degree of cable joint loosening;

[0008] Step 3: According to the coefficients obtained in step 2, assign corresponding weights to each coefficient, calculate the root mean square, consider the correction coefficient of the service life of the cable joint, and obtain the comprehensive evaluation value A of the loose state of the cable joint.

[0009]

[0010] r is the service life of the cable joint; m is the estimated service life of the cable joint;

[0011] If the A value is less than 1, it means that the cable joint is in a tightened state. If the A value is between 1 and 10, it means that the cable joint is in a semi-loose state. If it is greater than 10, it means that the cable joint grid is in a completely loose state.

[0012] In step 1, the electrical parameter collection includes collecting the contact voltage U1 of the cable connector, the kth harmonic component U K , the maximum contact current I of the cable connector max , minimum contact current I of cable connector min , the voltage amplitude of the cable joint arc U m , short circuit current I S , line overload time t Ls , line light load time t Lq , load rated output power P'; external environmental parameters collected include cable connector skin temperature T F , the current ambient temperature near the cable connector T S , air humidity λ, cable external temperature T V ; Temperature T of the inner surface of the distribution cabinet.

[0013] The correlation coefficients in step 2 include the cable joint temperature change rate coefficient, the contact current distortion rate coefficient, the arc energy coefficient and the load risk coefficient.

[0014] The temperature change rate coefficient of the cable joint refers to the ability of the cable joint of the power distribution cabinet to withstand temperature. Harmonics can cause the cable joint to overheat, shorten its life, and even cause fire. Therefore, harmonic-related indicators are added to the temperature change rate coefficient of the cable joint.

[0016]

[0017] Get reference value Combined with the Fourier series decomposition of the contact voltage of the cable joint, the fundamental component with the same frequency as the power frequency and the kth harmonic component with an integer multiple of the power frequency are obtained. Perform weighted processing to derive the cable joint temperature change rate coefficient A T ,

[0018] The cable joint temperature change rate coefficient A that forms a complete cable joint loosening accident data characteristic model T calculate:

The maximum contact current I of the cable joint is summarized within the data collection time range. max and minimum contact current value I min , considering the difference between the maximum and minimum contact currents and the peak change rate Combined with the cosine ratio of the maximum and minimum contact currents, the integration is performed within the data collection time range to calculate the influence relationship between the contact current distortion rate and the looseness of the cable joint, and the contact current distortion rate coefficient A is derived.

[0025] The arc energy coefficient reflects the degree of energy change before and after the loosening of the cable joint. The loosening of the cable joint is predicted by analyzing the changes in arc light, arc sound amplitude and short-circuit current before and after the characteristic sub-band of the arc sound signal. Since the instantaneous energy changes of the arc and current are different at different temperatures, the corresponding functional relationship between the looseness of the cable and the arc energy coefficient is obtained based on this difference. The arc energy coefficient Ap is:

[0032] The advantages and effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0033] The present invention aims at the electrical parameters and external environmental parameters that affect the looseness of the cable joints in the distribution cabinet, constructs a functional relationship through the electrical parameters and the external environmental parameters, calculates the correlation coefficient, and finally obtains a comprehensive value for evaluating the looseness of the cable joints. The state of the joint is judged by the comprehensive evaluation value of the loose state of the cable joint, and corresponding maintenance arrangements are made when the loose state of the cable joints in the distribution cabinet is evaluated in a relatively timely manner, which is conducive to reducing economic costs and the probability of accidents. The looseness of the cable joints in the high-voltage cabinet is predicted, and timely judgment is made according to the corresponding relationship between the online monitoring data in the high-voltage distribution cabinet and the joint failure data, so as to obtain a more accurate early warning method for loose cable joints.

[0034] According to the analysis of the corresponding relationship between the comprehensive information sensor data in the high-voltage distribution cabinet and the weakening of the mechanical strength of the cable joints, an effective method for accurately detecting loose faults based on online monitoring data is proposed to realize fault identification.
