Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of distribution network operation and maintenance, and particularly to a method for identifying distribution network topology changes for optimizing traveling wave positioning. Background Art

[0002] The operating environment of the distribution network is complex and often suffers from external forces such as lightning, wildfires, and trees, resulting in faults and power outages for users, affecting production and life. Therefore, we need a technology to quickly and accurately locate the fault points of the distribution network to ensure the normal operation of the distribution network.

[0003] For this reason, some people have proposed using the double - end traveling wave positioning technology to accurately locate the fault points, thereby reducing the fault troubleshooting time. For example, the invention application with the application number CN201910837470.6 proposed an improved double - end traveling wave fault ranging method to quickly locate the fault points.

[0004] However, the traveling wave positioning method is affected by the frequent changes in the distribution network topology. After the distribution network topology changes, the traveling wave positioning accuracy will be greatly reduced. At the same time, there are many users and complex wiring in the distribution network. Currently, most of the topology data is manually input into the computer system, with low accuracy and lack of effective verification means, which further reduces the traveling wave positioning accuracy.

[0005] Currently, there are mainly the following methods for identifying distribution network topology changes: (1) Manually opening and closing switches supplemented by on - site observation to identify the connection relationship of the power grid lines. This method is relatively clumsy, time - consuming and labor - intensive. (2) Power line carrier communication technology. A handheld terminal injects pulsed current into the line, and the phase sequence information sent after being detected and identified by the receiving display host is used to identify the distribution network topology changes. Although this method can identify the distribution network topology changes, it requires manual injection of pulsed current signals each time, and the injected pulsed current signals will also have a certain impact on the actual operation of the power grid.

[0006] From the above background, it is not difficult to see that before using the double - end traveling wave positioning technology to locate the fault points, it is necessary to first identify whether the distribution network topology has changed, so as to reduce the impact of distribution network topology changes on the traveling wave positioning results.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for identifying distribution network topology changes for optimizing traveling wave positioning to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Further, the verification of topological changes on the small-number side of the fault point is used to verify whether the line topology on the small-number side of the fault point has changed. Each detection node on the small-number side of the fault point collects the current traveling wave signal emitted by the fault point to obtain the wave head time of the fault traveling wave on the small-number side; compare the difference between the wave head time of the fault traveling wave on the small-number side and the wave head time of the corresponding detection node in the initial matrix of the wave head time difference at the end respectively; if the difference comparison exceeds the set threshold, it is considered that the line topology on the small-number side of the fault point has changed; if the difference comparison does not exceed the set threshold, it is considered that the line topology on the small-number side of the fault point has not changed.

[0054] Furthermore, when all power equipment in the distribution network is installed: an initial matrix of the time difference of traveling wave heads between devices is established; the initial matrix of the time difference of traveling wave heads between devices is used to record the propagation time characteristics of the distribution network line topology, including the initial matrix of the time difference of traveling wave heads at the head end and the initial matrix of the time difference of traveling wave heads at the end; a current traveling wave signal is injected into the head end of the line through the current traveling wave transmitting device, each detection node collects the traveling wave head time, and the difference between the traveling wave head times of adjacent detection nodes is calculated to form a matrix to obtain the initial matrix of the time difference of traveling wave heads at the head end; the initial matrix of the time difference of traveling wave heads at the end is obtained through the operation of the initial matrix of the time difference of traveling wave heads at the head end and the current traveling wave transmission characteristics.

[0055] Further, when a line fault occurs: initially locate the fault point and perform line topology change identification and verification; the line topology change identification and verification includes fault point large-side topology change identification and verification and fault point small-side topology change identification and verification.

[0056] Further, the fault point large-side topology change identification and verification is used to verify whether the line topology on the large side of the fault point has changed. The current traveling wave signals emitted by the fault point are collected by each detection node on the large side of the fault point to obtain the wavefront time of the large-side fault traveling wave; the wavefront time of the large-side fault traveling wave is respectively compared with the wavefront time of the corresponding detection node in the initial matrix of the wavefront time difference between the head end and the large side; if the difference comparison exceeds the set threshold, it is considered that the line topology on the large side of the fault point has changed; if the difference comparison does not exceed the set threshold, it is considered that the line topology on the large side of the fault point has not changed.

[0057] Further, the fault point small-side topology change identification and verification is used to verify whether the line topology on the small side of the fault point has changed. The current traveling wave signals emitted by the fault point are collected by each detection node on the small side of the fault point to obtain the wavefront time of the small-side fault traveling wave; the wavefront time of the small-side fault traveling wave is respectively compared with the wavefront time of the corresponding detection node in the initial matrix of the wavefront time difference between the end and the small side; if the difference comparison exceeds the set threshold, it is considered that the line topology on the small side of the fault point has changed; if the difference comparison does not exceed the set threshold, it is considered that the line topology on the small side of the fault point has not changed.

[0058] It should be noted that: a method for identifying changes in the distribution network topology for optimizing traveling wave positioning proposed in this embodiment is mainly to perform distribution network topology identification on the distribution network before accurately positioning the fault point using current traveling waves, so as to reduce the traveling wave positioning error. The current traveling wave waveform data is collected by a distribution network terminal measurement device in the distribution network power system. A traveling wave acquisition module is installed on the distribution network terminal measurement device. When a line fault occurs, a current traveling wave signal will be generated, and the signal will be transmitted from the fault point to both ends and spread throughout the entire line. This invention patent uses the distribution network terminal measurement device to collect traveling wave signals, extract the wavefront time, and identify whether the distribution line topology has changed by calculating the time difference of the traveling waves collected between devices.

[0059] As a more specific solution, the line topology change identification and verification is also started when a traveling wave is inserted into the line or a switch is switched on or off, and it is verified whether the line topology has changed.

[0060] It should be noted that: for the method proposed in this embodiment, only a current traveling wave signal needs to be injected manually at the head end of the line once after the equipment is installed to obtain the initial matrix of the head and tail traveling wave head time differences. There is no need for manual traveling wave injection in the future. At the same time, the proposed method will perform a line topology verification every time a line fault occurs, or when an external traveling wave enters the line, or when a switch is switched on or off. The verification does not require additional traveling wave injection and only needs to detect the traveling wave to verify whether the topology structure of the distribution network has changed.

[0061] As a more specific solution, the fault point is preliminarily located by the amplitude and phase comparison method or the traveling wave polarity method.

[0062] As a more specific solution, the detection nodes include the line end node and the line transmission node; the line end node is set on the end line, and the line transmission node is set on the transmission line.

[0063] As a more specific solution, the initial matrix of the head traveling wave head time difference is constructed through the following steps:

[0064] A1 The current traveling wave transmitting device emits a current traveling wave signal to the distribution network.

[0065] A2 Each detection node collects the current traveling wave signal through the distribution network terminal measurement device and records the traveling wave head time T of the detected current traveling wave signal i , where i is the detection node label;

[0066] A3 Calculate the traveling wave head time difference between two adjacent detection nodes in the direction from the head end to the tail end.

[0067] A4 Form the initial matrix of the head traveling wave head time difference: A = [T1 - T2, T2 - T3, T3 - T4, …, T n-1 -T n , where n is the total number of detection nodes, and A is the initial matrix of the head traveling wave head time difference.

[0068] It should be noted that: after the distribution network terminal measurement device is installed on the line, a current traveling wave signal is injected into the line at the head end of the line by using the current traveling wave transmitting device, and then the traveling wave head time Tn is extracted according to the traveling wave signals collected by each distribution network terminal measurement device on the line. n is the equipment number on this line, and the fault point is calculated to be located in the initial matrix A of the head traveling wave head time difference. According to the current traveling wave transmission characteristics, when the fault point is located at the end of the line, the initial matrix B of the end traveling wave head time difference can be derived through the calculation formula.

[0069] As a more specific solution, the initial matrix of the end traveling wave head time difference is constructed through the following steps:

[0070] B1 reads the initial matrix of the head-end traveling wave head time difference;

[0071] B2 substitutes the initial matrix of the head-end traveling wave head time difference into the calculation formula of the current traveling wave transmission characteristics to obtain the initial matrix of the tail-end traveling wave head time difference. The calculation formula of the current traveling wave transmission characteristics is:

[0072]

[0073] where n is the total number of detection nodes, A is the initial matrix of the head-end traveling wave head time difference, and B is the initial matrix of the tail-end traveling wave head time difference.

[0074] As a more specific solution, the identification and verification of the topological change on the large-number side of the fault point are carried out through the following steps:

[0075] C1 Each detection node continuously monitors the distribution network through the distribution network terminal measurement device;

[0079] C6 Form the large-number side fault traveling wave head time difference matrix:

[0080] D = [T k+1 -T k+2 , T[[ID=3�]] k+2 -T k+3 , T k+3 -T k+4 , …, T n-1 -T n ; where K represents the detection node number in the fault interval; D represents the large-number side fault traveling wave head time difference matrix;

[0081] C7 Compare the difference between the large-number side fault traveling wave head time difference matrix and the traveling wave head time of the corresponding detection node in the initial matrix of the head-end traveling wave head time difference; if the difference comparison exceeds the set threshold, it is considered that the line topology on the large-number side of the fault point has changed; if the difference comparison does not exceed the set threshold, it is considered that the line topology on the large-number side of the fault point has not changed.

[0082] As a more specific solution, the identification and verification of the topological change on the small side of the fault point are carried out through the following steps:

[0087] D6 Form a time difference matrix of the wavefront times of the fault traveling waves on the small side: C = [T k -T k-1 , T k-1 -T k-2 , T k-2 -T k-3 , …, T2 - T1]; where K represents the detection node number in the fault interval; C represents the time difference matrix of the wavefront times of the fault traveling waves on the small side;

[0088] D7 Compare the difference between the time difference matrix of the wavefront times of the fault traveling waves on the small side and the wavefront time of the corresponding detection node in the initial matrix of the time difference of the wavefront times at the end; if the difference comparison exceeds the set threshold, it is considered that the line topology on the small side of the fault point has changed; if the difference comparison does not exceed the set threshold, it is considered that the line topology on the small side of the fault point has not changed.

[0089] As a more specific solution, the time difference of the wavefront times between two detection nodes can also be calculated through the following steps:

[0090] E1 Obtain the line length L between the two detection nodes i,j , where i and j are the numbers of the two detection nodes respectively;

[0091] E2 Obtain the transmission rate v of the current traveling wave signal between the lines;

[0092] E3 Through the formula: Obtain the time difference of the wavefront times between the two detection nodes.

[0093] As a more specific solution, when a line fault occurs:

[0094] If it is determined that the line topology has not changed in both the verification of topology change identification on the larger-number side of the fault point and the verification of topology change identification on the smaller-number side of the fault point, it is determined that the overall line topology of the distribution network has not changed, and the fault point location is continued to be executed;

[0095] If it is determined that the line topology has changed in either the verification of topology change identification on the larger-number side of the fault point or the verification of topology change identification on the smaller-number side of the fault point, the topology of the changed larger-number side / smaller-number side is updated. After the update is completed, the fault point location is continued to be executed;

[0096] If it is determined that the line topology has changed in both the verification of topology change identification on the larger-number side of the fault point and the verification of topology change identification on the smaller-number side of the fault point, the overall line topology of the distribution network is updated. After the update is completed, the fault point location is continued to be executed.

[0097] It should be noted that: as Figure 2 shown, in a specific embodiment, the larger-number side refers to from Substation A to Substation B; the smaller-number side refers to from Substation B to Substation A; when a fault occurs, it is separated by a disconnector pair, and the normal operation of the power grid is maintained by using a tie switch; each labeled point in the figure is a detection node.
