[0056] If so, it is determined that an arc fault occurs in the system to be tested.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first preset time period is 2 ms.

[0062] In this embodiment, the step S10 is to obtain the output voltage V of the solar cell array in the system to be tested. SA and the output voltage V SA The step of comparing with the preset comparator threshold Thsa includes:

[0063] The solar array output voltage V SA .

[0068] If the peak-to-peak value Vpp is not greater than half of the bus voltage Vbus of the system to be tested, and the solar array output voltage V SA If the average value Vavg of the measured value is greater than half of the bus voltage Vbus of the measured system, it is determined that the working mode of the shunt regulator of the measured system is the bus power supply mode.

[0069] If the peak-to-peak value Vpp is not greater than half of the bus voltage Vbus of the system to be tested, and the solar array output voltage V SA If the average value Vavg of the bus voltage Vbus of the system to be tested is not greater than half of the bus voltage Vbus of the system to be tested, it is determined that the operating mode of the shunt regulator of the system to be tested is the shunt mode.

[0070] In this embodiment, the step S10 is to obtain the output voltage V of the solar cell array in the system to be tested. SA and the output voltage V SA The step of comparing with the preset comparator threshold value Thsa also includes:

[0071] Read the current differential signal V on the cable during the normal working phase of the system under test within 2ms CT value.

[0072] The current differential signal V CT The value is band-pass filtered and the processed current differential signal V CT The time domain and frequency domain values ​​are calculated, and the arc judgment threshold corresponding to the working mode is preset (that is, the time-frequency domain characteristic threshold), wherein the time domain analysis characteristic parameters at least include variance and peak-to-peak value, and the frequency domain analysis characteristic parameters are the FFT spectrum integral values ​​W1 to Wn of n equally spaced frequency bands within the arc spectrum distribution range, and the arc judgment threshold includes the variance lower limit threshold Thal, the peak-to-peak value lower limit threshold Thpl, the upper limit threshold Thfh of the FFT spectrum integral value, and the lower limit threshold Thfl of the FFT spectrum integral value in the shunt mode and the bus power supply mode, and the variance upper limit threshold Thah, the peak-to-peak value upper limit threshold Thph, the upper limit threshold Thfh of the FFT spectrum integral value, and the lower limit threshold Thfl of the FFT spectrum integral value in the regulation mode.

[0073] In this embodiment, the step S40, according to the current working mode of the shunt regulator of the system to be tested, compares the time-frequency domain characteristic value with the preset time-frequency domain characteristic threshold value in the working mode corresponding to the normal working stage of the system to be tested, and determines whether an arc fault occurs in the system to be tested, further includes:

[0074] If an arc fault occurs in the system to be tested, arc extinguishing processing is performed on the system to be tested.

[0075] The following combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 The space arc fault detection method of the present invention is further elaborated in detail.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a hardware framework diagram for the space arc fault detection method of the present invention. The hardware framework for the space arc fault detection method of the present invention includes a system to be tested, a signal sampling link, a filtering link, a data processing link, a logic judgment link, and an arc extinguishing link. Among them, the system to be tested is a space power supply system, including a solar cell array, components that may generate space arc discharge, a shunt regulator, etc.; the data processing link includes two parts: pre-detection and arc characteristic analysis; the arc extinguishing link includes a power switch and an impedance.

[0077] The signal sampling link is used to detect the output voltage V of the solar cell array in the system to be tested. SA and the current differential signal V on the cable CT The data processing stage first passes through V SA The working modes of the shunt regulator are determined to be regulation mode, bus power supply mode and shunt mode. CT Perform time domain and frequency domain calculations and preset the arc judgment threshold for the corresponding working mode. The time domain analysis characteristic parameters mainly include variance, peak-to-peak value, etc.; while the frequency domain analysis characteristic parameters are the FFT spectrum integral of equally spaced frequency bands within the arc spectrum distribution range (generally 10kHz-100kHz). After the data processing link is completed, wait for the arc fault to cause V SA rises, thus triggering the arc characteristic analysis link through the comparator circuit, and judging the arc fault after the triggering V CT The data is analyzed in the time and frequency domains, and the corresponding eigenvalues ​​are calculated. In the logic judgment link, the eigenvalues ​​obtained in the arc characteristic analysis link are compared with the thresholds pre-set in the pre-detection link. The interference caused by the conversion of the working mode of the shunt regulator is first eliminated by the time domain eigenvalues, and then the frequency domain eigenvalues ​​are used to finally determine whether an arc occurs in the system to be tested. The device of the present invention sets the threshold of each detection parameter according to the configuration parameters of the electrical system and the safety level of the arc fault. If an arc is detected in the system to be tested, the arc extinguishing link is started to extinguish the arc in the system to be tested, so as to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the system and avoid damage to the system caused by the arc fault. The arc extinguishing method is to drive the power switch K from position 1 to position 2, connect the impedance Zcut to the line, and move the working point of the solar array to the open circuit voltage working point, so that the output current is reduced to 0 and the arc is extinguished.

[0078] The present invention takes into account the complexity of the working modes of the space power supply system, and the mutual conversion between the three working modes will cause greater interference to the judgment results of a single time domain or frequency domain, resulting in a higher probability of misjudgment. Therefore, the present invention combines the two, pre-determines the working mode during the normal working stage of the system to be tested, and sets the dynamic thresholds in the time and frequency domains according to the characteristic parameters of the actual operation. In the arc characteristic analysis link, the interference caused by the conversion of the working mode is first eliminated through the time domain characteristic parameters, and then the frequency domain is used to further determine whether an arc fault has occurred. When processing the frequency domain signal, the present invention selects the spectrum energy of different frequency bands for integration, and comprehensively compares multiple integration results to reduce the influence of a fixed interference frequency in the system. The present invention combines multiple parameters of time domain and frequency domain signals at the same time, thereby improving the reliability of the arc fault detection device.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 3 , the implementation process of the space arc fault detection method of the present invention is as follows:

[0080] Step 1: The output voltage V of the solar array in the system under test SA and the cable current differential signal V CT Conduct real-time sampling;

[0081] Step 2: Detect the current differential signal V CT Perform bandpass filtering;

[0082] Step 3: Perform a pre-test on the system under test during its normal working phase;

[0083] Step 31: Use the voltage data V collected during normal operation SA Determine the current operating mode of the shunt regulator;

[0084] Step 32: Use the filtered current differential data V CT Calculate the time-frequency domain characteristic values ​​under the corresponding working mode, and set the arc determination dynamic threshold value of each characteristic parameter on this basis;

[0085] Step 4: If the real-time solar array output voltage V SA When it rises and reaches the comparator threshold Thsa, the arc characteristic analysis link is triggered.

[0086] Step 5: Calculate the time-frequency domain characteristic values ​​of the data after the trigger arc characteristic analysis link.

[0087] Step 6: Compare the characteristic value calculated in the previous step with the preset threshold to determine whether an arc fault occurs in the system.

[0088] Step 7: According to the judgment result of the arc fault, if an arc fault occurs in the detection system, the arc extinguishing link is started to extinguish the arc in the detection system to protect the system under test.

[0089] The beneficial effects of the space arc fault detection method of the present invention are:

[0090] 1: Perform pre-detection during the normal working stage of the system to be tested to obtain the system's real-time working state parameters and timely frequency domain characteristic values, so as to set the dynamic threshold, make the detection applicable to power supply systems with a wider range of power levels, and further improve the detection accuracy and anti-interference ability of the detection device;

[0091] 2: The spectrum energy of signals in different frequency bands in the selected arc characteristic frequency domain is integrated. The spectrum energy value obtained by integration is more reliable than that of a single frequency. By comparing the integrated value of signals in multiple frequency bands with the set threshold, the reliability of detection can be improved and the influence of a fixed interference frequency can be eliminated;

[0092] 3: Combining time domain signal parameters and frequency domain signal parameters, and comprehensively comparing multiple characteristic parameters can effectively eliminate the interference of working mode conversion on the detection results, effectively extract arc characteristics, and thus improve the arc fault detection rate, reduce the false detection rate, and improve the reliability of the arc fault detection device;

[0093] 4: The arc detection method combining time domain and frequency domain is also applicable to arc faults occurring in many other electrical systems, such as inverters, relays, sockets, power supplies, etc.;

[0094] 5: The spatial arc fault detection method proposed in this invention is also applicable to other photovoltaic systems.

[0095] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also proposes a space arc fault detection system, which includes a memory, a processor, and a space arc fault detection program stored on the processor. When the space arc fault detection program is run by the processor, the steps of the method described in the above embodiment are executed, which will not be repeated here.
