TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of substation fault location, and particularly relates to a power grid secondary system fault location method based on signal path tracking. BACKGROUND
[0002] The intelligent substation specifies the data transmission standard requirements of the power equipment during the operation of the station control layer, the interval layer and the process layer in the secondary system with full-station information digitization, communication platform networking and information sharing standardization as basic requirements. However, with the transformation of the traditional 103 information model to the IEC61850 protocol, the network connection between various devices in the secondary system is increasingly complex, but the network connectivity fault is still mainly checked manually. The causes of the connectivity fault include device interface fault, disconnection fault, and poor contact between the terminal and the female plug port, etc. It is difficult to identify through naked eye, which leads to difficulty in troubleshooting during maintenance, delays the maintenance progress, and even causes equipment damage, bringing great hidden dangers to the safe operation of the power grid.
[0003] The intelligent substation technology has been widely promoted due to its information openness and information sharing advantages. Based on the state information coupling relationship and constraint model between secondary devices, it is possible to track the signal transmission path. By identifying the signal transmission path, the connectivity fault location can be effectively located, and the hidden fault can be eliminated.
[0004] The methods widely used in the current power secondary system fault location field are the image monitoring method based on computer vision technology and machine learning and the fault alarm method based on fault recording data information archiving. Among them, the computer vision positioning technology collects secondary system image data by deploying image sensing devices on site, analyzes and identifies the image morphological features, obtains the running state of the secondary system under different scenes and resolutions, and realizes online monitoring of the secondary devices. However, because deep learning itself has statistical characteristics, and the on-site environmental factors are complex, it is difficult to ensure 100% effectiveness of the fault identification result, and it cannot monitor the hidden faults such as connectivity damage.
[0005] With the improvement of the automation and intelligence level of the substation, more and more substations begin to be based on multi-source fusion of on-site information, analyze and archive fault information through information architecture enhancement and complementary redundant information between plants and substations, identify system fault modules, realize fault location, and the existing integrated platform and device intelligent alarm module can detect a wide range, but cannot realize accurate positioning of the secondary system fault point. There are many problems such as complex substation architecture, isolated main station information, and many false alarms of fault alarm, which seriously increase the difficulty of fault elimination, and even delay the progress of plant and substation maintenance, etc. It is difficult to ensure practicality and economy in field application. Therefore, improving the positioning accuracy and identification range of the power grid secondary system fault is an urgent problem for the present technical personnel. SUMMARY

[0055] S4: fault point positioning, based on the system device fault alarm information, the fault path and the non-fault path are determined, so as to realize the system fault point positioning.
[0056] As shown in Figure 2 The three-layer two-network basic architecture of the intelligent substation is shown in the figure, the station control layer contains system secondary side protection, measurement and control and metering device, and is connected to the secondary control center through the station control layer bus; the merging unit collects the voltage and current signals of the interval and the voltage and current signals transmitted by the merging unit of other intervals, and then converts them into SV message through merging synchronization + protocol conversion, and sends them to the interval layer devices such as protection device, measurement and control device, metering device and wave recording system for use; the intelligent terminal is responsible for collecting the primary side voltage and current signals and the switch position signal, and then connecting with the interval layer through optical fiber.
[0057] The fault positioning network of the application is built, and the specific steps include the following:
[0058] S11: Based on the object-oriented design idea, a smart substation secondary system information description model architecture and a protocol IEC61850 communication data structure are constructed by standardizing the secondary physical device, device logical function and secondary network key node, unifying the protocol and realizing the integration of all station information.
[0059] The smart substation secondary system information description model architecture is shown in Figure 3 The protocol IEC61850 communication data structure is shown in Figure 4 The protocol IEC61850 communication data structure includes physical device group, logical device group, logical node group, data object group and data attribute group from top to bottom, wherein the physical device group is used to describe the specific instance device characteristics; the logical device group is used to divide the physical device function; the logical node group is used to describe the specific function of the logical device; the data object group is used to describe the function of the logical node; and the data attribute group is used to describe the data object.
[0060] S12: Based on the three-layer two-network architecture of the smart substation and the protocol IEC61850 communication data structure in step S11, a secondary protection interval system network is constructed.
[0061] The secondary protection interval system network is shown in Figure 5 The external computer is used as the main control center of the system, is a system level device, has the highest priority, is responsible for system signal processing, and feeds back the data and operation results collected by the system in the verification process to the test personnel in real time; the protection, metering and measurement and control devices in the three-layer two-network architecture are used as the secondary devices of the system and contain their corresponding port marks; the network communication is summarized by the station control layer bus or industrial switch, and is transmitted and fed back by physical wiring or switch internal forwarding mechanism.
[0062] S13: A secondary minimum system port model capable of locating the fault port through signal path tracking algorithm is constructed.
[0063] The secondary minimum system port model is shown inFigure 6 The diagram shows all communication port constraints for the merging unit, intelligent terminals, relay protection devices, switch groups, and other secondary measurement and control instruments in the three-layer, two-network architecture. It also identifies the physical connection relationships between each port within the station and the communication signal forwarding paths within the switch. This model enables faulty port location using a signal path tracing algorithm.
[0064] Device ports are the basic units for information exchange between each component and other external devices. Based on network graph theory, a mathematical model of the system network is established with device ports as the minimum unit. The secondary minimum system port model is divided into a physical layer association model and an information exchange layer association model, depending on whether the information exchange between ports is a wired connection or an internal forwarding mechanism within the switch. Furthermore, the information transmission association relationship in step S2 establishes a signal and port description model based on the signal type and function sent by different devices in the secondary system. The signal and port description model includes:
[0065] Devices can be connected through physical wiring or through the internal forwarding mechanism of the switch to achieve information exchange, so the correlation matrix A is established. PP Describes the physical connection relationship between device ports in the secondary protection interval system. p represents the port number, which is the number of all device ports in the system.
[0066]
[0067]
[0068] Establish the association matrix Ipp to describe the information exchange association relationship between different device ports in the secondary protection interval system based on the internal forwarding mechanism of the switch. It should be noted that if the internal information of the switch is forwarded in one direction, the port number of the receiving information is s and the port number of the sending information is e, then i se =1,i es =0.
[0069]
[0070]
[0071] At the same time, in order to analyze the fault signal transmission path and eliminate connectivity faults according to the fault information reported by the components in the secondary protection interval system during the system connectivity analysis phase, a signal and port description model sig is established. pt It is used to represent the correspondence between different signal types and port numbers. The matrix element S pt =1 indicates that the signal type sent by the pth port is t.
[0072]
[0073] The signal path tracking and fault point positioning algorithm principle in step S4 is as follows:
[0074] The signal tracking algorithm flow is to obtain the transmission path of the signal between each port of the system according to the dependence relationship of different signal types in the checking network and the system element association based on the above three signal and port association models A pp 、 pp and sig pt . The calculation method of the signal transmission path in step S3 is shown in Figure 7 , and the specific steps include:
[0075] S31: System parameter initialization, input matrix A pp 、 pp is established according to the secondary minimum system port model diagram to determine the association relationship between network ports;
[0076] S32: Signal type initialization, determine the signal type existing in the system, and input matrix sig pt is used to determine the mapping relationship between each port in the signal transmission process according to the signal and port description model;
[0077] S33: Iteration process, determine matrix R 3(n-1) according to the signal source port number of each signal type, the calculation formula is R 3(n-1) =A pp sig pt , and start iteration; wherein R 3(n-1) is the message port binding relationship at the current time, and the element R 3(n-1) =1, that is, the signal is transmitted from the starting sending port to the target receiving port; the iteration criterion is whether the switch port number corresponding row vector in R 3n-1 matrix contains a non-zero element, if there is no non-zero element, it means that the signal is successfully transmitted from the source end to the target port, and the iteration is ended; if there is a non-zero element, return to R 3n-2 matrix.
[0078] S34: After the iteration is completed, the same signal type (the same column element) in sig pt , R 3(n-1) , R 3n-2 , R 3n-1 in the calculation process is extracted, and the corresponding port number (row number) output array P t is output, and the element represents the port number combination that the signal t transmits through, that is, the transmission path.
[0079] The fault point positioning depends on the alarm information received by the external computer sending SV messages to various devices of the secondary system. The alarm information is divided into two cases. The first case is the sub-device alarm response information caused by device configuration error. The second case is that when the sub-device does not respond within the theoretical feedback time after the external computer sends handshake information, the external computer as the main system defaults to the secondary system operation timeout. At this time, the handshake channel is judged as a fault path, that is, the message is disconnected.
[0080] According to the above alarm information and abnormal transmission path judgment, Ports i = P err_i ∪ P cor -P cor The fault port number set in all abnormal transmission paths is obtained, where the maximum value of i is the sum of the signal types contained in the system, P err_i is the abnormal signal transmission path, and P cor is the normal signal transmission path.
[0081] When the secondary system actually communicates, a single port failure may cause multiple channel abnormalities. After determining the abnormal channel port number set Ports i , the exact fault location can be obtained by finding the intersection of the ports contained in the abnormal channel, that is, res = Ports i 1∩Ports i 2···∩Ports i i, where the value of i is in the range of 【1, n】 and n is the sum of the signal types contained in the system, and res is the final fault port.
