[0018] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a temperature prediction method according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the temperature prediction method 100 includes:

[0020] Step 101: Obtain the current of each line in the first group of lines at the first moment in an electrical topology diagram.

[0021] An electrical topology diagram is a further abstraction of an actual circuit diagram, consisting only of branches and nodes. It discusses the connection relationships and properties of the circuits, specifically the connection relationships between branches and nodes. Optionally, the first set of lines may include multiple lines of arbitrary selection, multiple lines specified by the user, or all lines in the electrical topology diagram.

[0022] In one embodiment, an electrical topology diagram may be as follows: Figure 2 The diagram shows an electrical topology of a switchgear, where dots represent meters and triangles represent loads. Optionally, according to... Figure 2 A digital model is built based on the topology diagram shown.

[0023] Step 102: Determine the temperature of the first set of points at a first moment in the electrical topology diagram. The first set of points includes: at least one point on the first set of lines, or at least one point in a relevant line from which the current can be calculated based on the first set of lines and the electrical topology diagram.

[0024] To further explain the statement that "the first set of lines and the related lines whose currents can be calculated from the electrical topology diagram," suppose an electrical topology diagram has only one node connecting N lines, and the current flowing through N-1 of these lines at a certain moment is known. Then, according to Kirchhoff's Current Law, the current flowing through the last line connected to this node at that moment can be calculated. More generally, if a line in the electrical topology diagram with an unknown current satisfies the solution conditions of Kirchhoff's Current Law, then the unknown current can be calculated based on the known line currents.

[0025] Step 103: Bind the temperature of the first set of points at the first moment to the corresponding line to obtain the second set of lines.

[0026] When the first set of points is at least one point on the first set of lines, the temperature of the first set of points at the first moment is bound to the corresponding line in the first set of lines. In other words, if the first set of points is a point on the first set of lines, then the temperature of the corresponding point at the first moment is bound to the line containing that temperature. Optionally, the binding can be performed by the line number.

[0027] When the first set of points is at least one point among the relevant lines whose current can be calculated based on the first set of lines and the electrical topology diagram, the temperature of the first set of points at the first moment is bound to the first line in the first set of lines in the electrical topology diagram that is closest to that temperature. Specifically, the closest first line is the line that is closest to the line with that temperature. Optionally, the temperature of the first set of points at the first moment is bound to the line with the longest average daily operating time among the K first lines in the first set of lines in the electrical topology diagram that are closest to that temperature. The specified day can be any day within the past week, a regular day, or a date specified by the user.

[0028] Step 104: When the first group of lines does not include all the lines in the electrical topology diagram, calculate the current value of the lines in the electrical topology diagram other than the first group of lines based on the current of each line in the first group at the first moment.

[0029] If the first group of lines already contains all the lines in the electrical topology diagram, then step 105 can be executed directly.

[0030] Step 105: Based on the current values ​​of all lines in the electrical topology diagram and the temperature on the second line, calculate the temperature of at least one of the other lines besides the second group of lines.

[0031] Optionally, based on the current values ​​of all lines in the electrical topology diagram and the temperature on the second line, calculate the temperature of all lines except the second group of lines. Optionally, based on the data groups (→,i1,T1), (→,i2,T2), ... (→,i...) formed by the current values ​​of all lines in the electrical topology diagram and the temperatures on the second line... k ,T k Calculate the temperature of all lines except the second group of lines. Output the data sets (→, i) corresponding to each line. n ,T n ), where →,i n T represents the current in the nth line. nThis represents the temperature of the nth line. The output format using data sets not only makes the results clearer but also facilitates data verification for users.

[0032] Figure 3 This is a thermal model of a bus according to an embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, when at least one of the other lines is a busbar or a part of the busbar, the surface temperature T of the corresponding line can be calculated using the following formula.

[0035] Where I is the current in the relevant busbar or a portion of the busbar, and R is the resistance; W B For line loss; Q B For the equivalent conductor heat capacity, T em For ambient temperature, TR A For air thermal resistance.

[0036] Figure 4 This is a thermal model of a cable according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 4 As shown, when at least one of the other lines is a branch line, the surface temperature T of the corresponding line can be calculated using the following formula. S :

[0037]

[0038] W C =I 2 R (4)

[0039] Where I is the current in the relevant branch circuit, and R is the resistance; W c For line loss; Q A Q is the equivalent heat capacity within this branch circuit. B Q is the equivalent heat capacity outside this branch line. W For adiabatic heat capacity, TR i TR is the equivalent thermal resistance within this branch line. o TR is the external equivalent thermal resistance of this branch line. A For air thermal resistance, T c For the conductor temperature, T i T is the temperature of the insulation layer. em The ambient temperature.

[0040] Alternatively, the temperature of at least one of the other lines besides the second group of lines can be calculated using the finite element analysis method of multiphysics.

[0041] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the busbar is a busbar or a busbar, while the branch line is an insulated cable.

[0042] In this embodiment, by combining the temperature of at least one point in the electrical topology diagram with the current values ​​of all lines in the diagram, the temperature of all lines in the electrical topology diagram can be obtained. This embodiment not only eliminates the need for additional costs to expand the coverage of temperature monitoring, but also improves the reliability of the monitoring system by fusing temperature and current data. Furthermore, the computational components involved in this embodiment are efficient and accurate, do not require significant IT resources, are easily applied to edge computing, and are particularly suitable for comprehensive temperature prediction of low-voltage distribution cabinets.
