Description

[0002] Lightning strikes have always been a significant threat to the safe and stable operation of power systems, with 60-70% of tripping incidents on overhead transmission lines caused by lightning. Compared to overhead transmission lines, multi-branch transmission lines are more likely to experience power outages due to lightning strikes because of factors such as lower insulation levels, wider distribution, and poor tower grounding conditions.

[0003] Currently, research on lightning fault location methods for overhead transmission lines is relatively mature both domestically and internationally. However, research on lightning fault location and identification technologies for multi-branch transmission lines is scarce. Lightning fault location for overhead transmission lines mostly employs traveling wave theory. However, multi-branch transmission lines typically consist of complex multi-branch lines. After a lightning strike, these multi-branch lines generate complex traveling wave reflections, resulting in waveforms and parameters that differ significantly from those of transmission lines. Simply applying traditional traveling wave theory cannot achieve rapid and accurate fault location.

Detailed Implementation

[0052] This invention provides a method, apparatus, and storage medium for locating lightning faults in multi-branch control lines, which addresses the technical problem of how to quickly and accurately locate and identify lightning faults in multi-branch control lines.

[0053] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0054] It should be noted that this invention is based on a distributed monitoring system. Specifically, when implementing the method and apparatus of this invention, multiple monitoring points are spaced out on the main line of the multi-branch power line requiring lightning fault location, and one monitoring point is arranged on each branch line. Each monitoring point is equipped with a distributed lightning current monitoring terminal, such as... Figure 1 As shown, M1, M2, ..., M are arranged on the main line of the multi-branch control line. w There are N1, N2, ..., N6 distributed lightning current monitoring terminals, with one distributed lightning current monitoring terminal deployed on each branch line. wThis invention uses data from distributed lightning current monitoring terminals to locate lightning strike faults in multi-line distribution systems. To ensure the effectiveness of data acquisition, the deployed distributed lightning current monitoring terminals must meet bandwidth requirements and ensure clock synchronization among all terminals.

[0055] This invention provides a method for locating lightning strike faults in multi-branch power lines.

[0056] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flowchart of a method for locating lightning strike faults in multi-branch power lines provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0057] This invention provides a method for locating lightning strike faults in multi-branch power lines, comprising:

[0058] Step S1: Obtain the lightning current waveform data collected by each distributed lightning current monitoring terminal; analyze the lightning current amplitude attenuation law of the multi-branch power line and the polarity relationship of the lightning current on the main line based on the lightning current waveform data; and determine the lightning strike interval based on the analysis results.

[0059] In one feasible approach, determining the lightning strike zone based on the obtained analysis results includes:

[0060] The interval between two adjacent monitoring points on the main line is taken as a monitoring interval. The interval type of each monitoring interval is determined according to the number of branch lines connected to the main line segment within the monitoring interval. The interval type includes intervals where the main line segment has no connected branch lines, intervals where the main line segment is connected to one branch line, and intervals where the main line segment is connected to multiple branch lines.

[0061] Calculate the average lightning current amplitude attenuation rate corresponding to each interval type according to the lightning current amplitude attenuation law, calculate the difference between the lightning current amplitude attenuation rate corresponding to each monitoring interval and the average lightning current amplitude attenuation rate corresponding to the interval type, and select the monitoring interval with the difference greater than the preset threshold as the candidate lightning strike interval.

[0062] The lightning strike interval is determined from each of the candidate lightning strike intervals based on the polarity relationship of the lightning current on the main line.

[0063] According to the attenuation law of lightning current amplitude on multi-branch 10kV distribution lines, the attenuation rate of the lightning current peak value varies depending on the number of branches in each section of the multi-branch line. Furthermore, when a lightning strike occurs in a monitoring section, the attenuation rate of the line lightning current peak value also differs between adjacent and more distant sections. For example, in each monitoring section of the main line, when the lightning current passes through a section of the main line without connecting branches, the peak attenuation is less than 20%. However, when a lightning strike occurs in a section adjacent to a section of the main line without connecting branches, the attenuation of the lightning current amplitude in that section is 27.7%. The average attenuation rate of the line lightning current amplitude in sections of the main line connected to one branch does not exceed 40%, while when a lightning strike occurs in a nearby section, the peak attenuation of the lightning current peak value in that section is 59.8%. For sections of the main line connected to multiple branches, the average attenuation rate of the current peak value does not exceed 80%, while when a lightning strike occurs in a nearby section, the attenuation rate of the lightning current peak value in that section reaches 90%.

[0064] Based on the above principles, in this embodiment, by calculating the difference between the lightning current amplitude attenuation rate corresponding to each monitoring interval and the average lightning current amplitude attenuation rate corresponding to the interval type, monitoring intervals with a difference greater than a preset threshold are selected as candidate lightning strike intervals, thus achieving preliminary determination of the lightning strike interval. Then, based on the lightning current polarity relationship on the main line, the lightning strike interval is determined from each candidate lightning strike interval, achieving final determination of the lightning strike interval. By combining the lightning current amplitude attenuation pattern of multi-branch power lines with the lightning current polarity relationship on the main line to determine the lightning strike interval, the accuracy of lightning strike interval identification can be effectively improved, laying a good foundation for accurate location of lightning faults in the future.

[0065] The lightning strike interval is determined from each of the candidate lightning strike intervals based on the polarity relationship of the lightning current on the main line. Specifically, it is determined by whether the polarities of the lightning currents at the two ends of the candidate lightning strike interval are opposite. When the polarities of the lightning currents are opposite, it indicates that the candidate lightning strike interval contains a lightning fault point, and in this case, the candidate lightning strike interval is determined to be a lightning strike interval. When the polarities of the lightning currents are the same, it indicates that the candidate lightning strike interval does not contain a lightning fault point, and in this case, the candidate lightning strike interval is determined not to be a lightning strike interval.

[0066] It should be noted that the polarity of the lightning current can be determined using any existing method, such as the polarity of the first wavefront of the transient current line mode component of the lightning strike. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this approach.

[0067] Step S2: Based on the peak value of the lightning current collected by the distributed lightning current monitoring terminal in the lightning strike interval, select the target monitoring point from each monitoring point in the lightning strike interval.

[0068] In one possible implementation, screening out target monitoring points from each monitoring point within the lightning strike interval according to the peak value of the lightning current collected by the distributed lightning current monitoring terminals within the lightning strike interval includes:

[0069] Sorting the corresponding monitoring points in descending order of the peak value of the lightning current collected by the distributed lightning current monitoring terminals within the lightning strike interval;

[0070] Selecting the first n monitoring points before sorting as target monitoring points, where n < N, and N is the number of monitoring points within the lightning strike interval.

[0071] Step S3: Performing wavelet transform on the lightning current waveform data corresponding to each target monitoring point, taking the time point when the maximum value of the wavelet transform appears as the arrival time of the lightning fault traveling wave, and calculating the distance from the lightning fault point to the corresponding target monitoring point.

[0072] As a specific implementation, the formula for performing wavelet transform on the lightning current waveform data corresponding to each target monitoring point is as follows:

[0073]

[0074] In the formula, Wf(a,b) refers to the transform value when the frequency is a and the time is b after performing wavelet transform on the signal f(t), ψ(t) is the mother wavelet function, a is the scale factor (corresponding to frequency information), b is the translation factor (corresponding to spatio-temporal information), and ψ * (t) is the complex conjugate of ψ(t).

[0075] As a specific implementation, the calculation formula for the distance from the lightning fault point to the corresponding target monitoring point is:

[0076] L c = vt δ

[0077] In the formula, L c is the distance from the lightning fault point to the corresponding target monitoring point, v is the propagation speed of the current wave along the line, and t δ is the arrival time of the lightning fault traveling wave.

[0078] In the simulation program, set the propagation speed v of the current wave along the line to the speed of light, and t δ is obtained according to the time point when the modulus maximum value in the wavelet transform appears.

[0079] Because there are many reflections and refractions of traveling waves in multi-channel transmission lines, direct time-domain readings will have a large number of errors. In this implementation, the time point of occurrence of the wavelet transform modulus maximum is used as the arrival time of the current traveling wave front. The arrival time of the current traveling wave front at the target monitoring point is extracted, and the distance between the lightning fault point and the selected target monitoring point is calculated, which can improve the accuracy of lightning fault point location.

[0080] Step S4: Based on the distance from the lightning fault point to the corresponding target monitoring point, determine the set of lightning fault points corresponding to each target monitoring point, find the intersection of all determined sets of lightning fault points, and use the obtained intersection result as the lightning fault point of the multi-branch power line.

[0081] For a specific target monitoring point in a multi-branch distribution network, there may be multiple points at the same distance where the lightning current traveling waves arrive at that point at the same time. This means that using traveling wave theory might identify multiple lightning strike fault points. For example, for target monitoring point M1, the calculation result is a set containing 3 lightning strike fault points. For target monitoring points N2 and N3, the calculation result is a set containing 2 lightning strike fault points each. The intersection of the lightning strike fault point sets calculated for these three target monitoring points is taken as the final lightning strike fault point, thus eliminating other false lightning strike fault points.

[0082] In one feasible way, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method further includes:

[0083] Step S5: Through simulation analysis, determine the characteristics and variation law of lightning current waveforms of multi-branch control lines under different types of lightning strikes, and extract typical features for identifying lightning strike types based on the characteristics and variation law of lightning current waveforms.

[0084] The types of lightning strikes include induced lightning, direct lightning, and backflash lightning. When executing step S5, a simulation analysis model of induced lightning, direct lightning, and backflash lightning overvoltages can be established based on the actual topology and parameters of the multi-branch control line. The simulation analyzes the characteristics and variation patterns of the lightning current waveform on the line under the three types of lightning strikes, such as the lightning current amplitude and attenuation pattern, wavefront time and variation pattern, polarity and variation pattern, and pulse width and variation pattern. Typical characteristics of the lightning current waveform at each monitoring point are extracted as the basis for judging the three types of lightning strikes.

[0085] Step S6: Extract the lightning current waveform features corresponding to the lightning strike interval, and compare the extracted lightning current waveform features with each of the typical features to determine the lightning strike type.

[0086] Typical features and waveform characteristics of lightning currents can be extracted based on the characteristics of different lightning strike types. For example, the characteristics of induced lightning, direct lightning, and backflashover lightning include: when induced lightning occurs, the three-phase polarity of the wavefront collected by adjacent distributed lightning current monitoring terminals is the same; when a direct lightning strike occurs, the polarity of the current in the struck phase is opposite to that in the non-struck phase; and when a backflashover occurs, the wavefront steepness of the line current is greater due to flashover. Therefore, the three-phase polarity and steepness of the wavefront can be extracted as characteristics to determine the three types of lightning strikes.

[0087] Step S7: If the determined lightning strike type is induced lightning or direct lightning strike, determine whether a flashover has occurred on the line in the lightning strike interval, and output the corresponding line flashover determination result.

[0088] When determining whether a flashover has occurred after a lightning strike on a line, if the integral of the square of the conductor current monitored by the distributed lightning current monitoring terminal exceeds the threshold, it is determined that the corresponding line has not flashed over; otherwise, it is determined that the corresponding line has flashed over. Furthermore, the type of lightning strike is determined to be induced lightning or direct lightning strike from the perspective of lightning current polarity and three-phase balance. When induced lightning occurs, the three-phase polarity of the wavefront collected by adjacent distributed lightning current monitoring terminals is the same; when direct lightning strike occurs, the current polarity of the struck phase and the non-struck phase is opposite.

[0089] It should be noted that line flashover detection can also be achieved based on existing line flashover detection methods. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this approach.

[0090] The present invention also provides a lightning strike fault location device for multi-channel power lines.

[0107] The line flashover judgment module 7 is used to determine whether a line in the lightning strike interval has flashed when the determined lightning strike type is induced lightning or direct lightning, and output the corresponding line flashover judgment result.

By screening target monitoring points from each monitoring point within the lightning strike interval, and locating the lightning fault point based on the lightning fault point set of the target monitoring points, the efficiency is improved compared to locating the lightning fault point based on the lightning fault point set of all monitoring points within the lightning strike interval. Finally, by finding the intersection of all determined lightning fault point sets, false lightning fault points are screened, further improving the accuracy of lightning fault point location. Thus, it is possible to achieve rapid and accurate location and identification of lightning faults in multi-branch distribution lines, providing a foundation for quickly troubleshooting faults in multi-branch 10kV distribution networks and rapidly restoring power supply.
