Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power grid fault detection and location technology, specifically relating to an offline overhead line single-phase grounding fault location method based on AC signal injection, applicable to the case of permanent single-phase grounding faults in overhead distribution lines. Background Technology

[0002] The power distribution network is a vital public infrastructure for national economic and social development, playing a crucial supporting and safeguarding role in promoting economic and social progress. Distribution lines have complex structures and are subject to diverse natural environments, making them prone to grounding faults, with single-phase grounding faults being the most frequent. When a single-phase grounding fault occurs, the resulting overvoltage on intact lines can easily cause weak points in the insulation to break down, potentially triggering short circuits, expanding the fault area, and even causing power outages. In recent years, with economic development and social progress, users have increasingly higher requirements for power supply quality and reliability, leading to greater economic losses and negative social impacts from power outages. Furthermore, single-phase grounding faults can also cause accidents that threaten personal safety, such as forest fires caused by electric arcing, and electric shocks from tree debris.

[0003] Determining the precise location of a fault is crucial for quickly, accurately, and effectively locating and eliminating the fault and restoring power supply. While fault location techniques are relatively mature, with methods such as zero-sequence current comparison, harmonic component analysis, medium resistance analysis, and matrix analysis widely used in urban power distribution networks, precise fault location still relies on manual line inspection. This requires inspectors to visually search for the fault along the faulty line. This method not only consumes significant manpower and resources but also makes it difficult to detect hidden faults such as insulator breakdown and internal surge arrester faults by visual inspection. Furthermore, if the fault occurs in severe weather or in areas with complex terrain, it undoubtedly poses significant challenges to manual line inspection, thus prolonging the fault location time. Therefore, a practical and effective method for locating single-phase grounding faults is urgently needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the offline single-phase grounding fault location method for overhead lines based on AC signal injection according to the present invention includes:

[0059] After a single-phase ground fault occurs on an overhead line in a power distribution network, the faulty line is isolated and a constant frequency and phase AC voltage signal is simultaneously injected into the three-phase line using a signal generating device. Zero-sequence current signals are collected along the line using satellite and non-contact signal measuring devices to calculate the zero-sequence admittance angle at the detection point. The faulty branch is determined based on the difference in zero-sequence admittance angles of different branches at the branch point. The fault direction is then determined by the difference in zero-sequence admittance angles of different detection points on the faulty branch. The fault direction can be used to gradually narrow down the fault section until the precise location of the fault point is determined.

[0060] The specific judgment steps are as follows:

[0061] Step 1: After a single-phase ground fault occurs on the overhead line of the distribution network, the faulty line is isolated and an AC voltage signal with constant frequency f and constant phase θ is simultaneously injected into the three-phase line of the overhead line using a signal generating device.

Where j = 1, 2…m, k = 1, 2…n, m is the number of branches, and n is the number of detection points on the j-th branch;

[0063] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, step 2 specifically includes:

[0064] Step 2.1: The controller selects a certain moment after the zero-sequence current signal is injected as the zero moment, denoted as t0. The phase of the zero-sequence current signal corresponding to the zero moment t0 is denoted as θ. t0 ;

[0065] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, (considering that the same phase within a single cycle may correspond to two moments, it is necessary to distinguish between different θ values ​​located in the rising interval from voltage trough to peak and the falling interval from voltage peak to trough) t0 And denoted as θ respectively t0-u and θ t0-d ).

[0072] In the formula: f is the frequency of the injected signal.

[0073] Step 3, let k=1, and compare the beginning Q of different branches at each branch point in turn. j1 zero-sequence admittance angle With the set threshold value If the condition is met, then it is determined that a permanent single-phase ground fault has occurred in the branch where the detection point is located, and step 4 is executed; otherwise, let j = j + 1, and step 3 is executed.

[0079] Step 4.2: Compare detection point Q jk-1 and Q jk Distance between With the set threshold value x set ,like Let k = k + 1, and continue comparing the detection points Q. jk zero-sequence admittance angle With the set threshold value like If the fault direction is determined to be positive, meaning the detection point is upstream of the fault point, then the fault point is considered to be located at detection point Q. jk-1 and Q jk If the fault direction is negative, then proceed to step 4.2; otherwise, the fault point is considered to be downstream of the fault point. jk-2 and Q jk In between, execute step 4.3, if At detection point Q jk-1 and Q jkFollow the line until the zero-sequence admittance angle is found. Depend on Change to The point, i.e., the precise location of the fault point;

Depend on Change to The point, that is, the precise location of the fault.

[0081] In particular, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fault location is determined using the bisection method, therefore Q j1 and Q j2 Q is set at the beginning and end of the branch road respectively. jk (k = 3, 4, 5…n) is set at the midpoint between two detection points with opposite fault directions, such as… Figure 3 As shown.

[0082] Step 5: If j≤m, then execute step 3; otherwise, it can be determined that no permanent single-phase grounding fault has occurred from the beginning of the line to the end of the line.

[0083] The method of the present invention will be illustrated below through specific embodiments:

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, the CD section and CH branch of the overhead line of the distribution network are selected for simulation to simulate a single-phase ground fault scenario with branch lines. Figure 5As shown. Both lines are overhead lines. The lengths of sections CD are set to 5km, 15km, 25km, and 40km, and the length of branch CH is 20km. The relevant positive-sequence parameters of the overhead lines are: R1 = 0.1210Ω / km, L1 = 1.019mH / km, C1 = 11.480pF / km; the zero-sequence parameters are: R0 = 0.3460Ω / km, L0 = 4.787mH / km, C0 = 4.035pF / km. A voltage of 500V is injected at point C at the beginning of the line, with a frequency of 120Hz. Figure 6 As shown. Taking a phase A ground fault occurring 10km from point C on line CD as an example, the grounding resistances are set to 10Ω, 100Ω, 1kΩ, and 5kΩ respectively; two terminal detection points Q are set. 31 and Q 41 These points are located on the faulty line CD and the non-faulty branch CH, respectively, both 0.5m from point C. Here, the admittance angle threshold for the faulty branch criterion is taken as 80°. The faulty branch outlet Q... 11 Q at the exit of the non-faulty branch 21 The zero-sequence current exhibits a significant phase difference, such as Figure 7 As shown in Table 1, there are significant differences in the zero-sequence admittance angle at the outlet of the faulty branch and the non-faulty branch under different transition resistances and fault line lengths. Therefore, the method provided in this embodiment can accurately determine the single-phase ground fault branch.

[0087]

[0088] Similarly, select Figure 4 The simulation of section CD shown illustrates a scenario where a single-phase ground fault occurs on a branchless line. The line is an overhead line, and section CD is 20km long. Six terminal detection points are set up, including Q... 11 Q 14 Q 15 Located upstream of the fault point, at distances of 0km, 5km, and 7.5km from point C respectively, Q 12 and Q 13 Located downstream of the fault point, 20km and 10km from point C respectively, the fault point is located at detection point Q. 15 and Q 13 Between. Here, the admittance angle threshold value for the fault direction criterion is also 80°. Other conditions are as above. Figure 8 As shown in Table 2, there is a significant difference in phase between the zero-sequence currents upstream and downstream of the fault point. Furthermore, under different transition resistances, there is a significant difference in the zero-sequence admittance angles upstream and downstream of the fault. Therefore, the method provided in this embodiment can locate the fault point.
