Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0089] Example 1

[0090] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a fault detection method for a distribution network provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where the results of using voltage traveling wave to locate distribution network faults are used to verify the results of using multi-point monitoring to locate distribution network faults. This method can be executed by a fault detection device for the distribution network, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in electronic equipment. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0091] Step 101: Collect electrical information for the target area in the power distribution network.

[0092] Multiple PUMs (phasor measurement units) are installed at power outlets and other locations in the power distribution network. The PUMs can continuously collect electrical information in the power distribution network and upload it to the monitoring master station. The monitoring master station then uploads the electrical information to a cloud server for analysis.

[0093] Among them, PUM is a phasor measurement unit that uses the second pulse of the satellite positioning system as a synchronization clock. It can be used in the fields of dynamic monitoring, system protection, system analysis and prediction of power systems.

[0094] Clock-based PMUs can measure phasor data such as voltage phase and current phase at key points in the power system. The data is transmitted to the monitoring master station via the communication network. Based on the phase amplitude at different points, the monitoring master station determines how the system should disconnect, switch off generators, and disconnect loads when subjected to system disturbances, in order to prevent the further escalation of the accident or even grid collapse.

[0095] According to functional requirements, the PMU includes a synchronous sampling trigger pulse generation module, a synchronous phasor measurement and calculation module, and a communication module.

[0096] The main function of the synchronous sampling trigger pulse generation module is to provide a second pulse and the current standard time (accurate to the second). In order to reduce dependence on the satellite positioning system, a fairly accurate second pulse is provided by the machine's own crystal oscillator for a period of time after the satellite positioning system loses satellites.

[0097] The synchronous measurement and calculation module receives an analog AC signal as input. Its A / D (analog-to-digital converter) is triggered by an externally generated synchronous sampling pulse. After the digital-to-analog conversion is completed, it sends an interrupt signal to the signal processing module (Digital Signal Processing, DSP). The DSP performs a Digital Fourier Transform (DFF) operation on each data point it reads, comparing it with the previous sampled data to calculate the amplitude and phase of the fundamental wave of the AC signal. After calculating the phase, the DSP adds a corresponding time stamp and sends the phasor data from the communication interface to the monitoring master station or stores it on the local co-control unit.

[0098] In addition to the time stamp of the sampling point, synchronous serial communication data also includes the frequency of the current AC signal emitted by the CPU (Central Processing Unit).

[0099] If a fault occurs in a certain area of ​​the distribution network, it can be marked as a target area. That is, the target area contains the fault point. The electrical information collected in the target area is filtered from all electrical information, such as voltage, current, fault voltage, fault current, transition resistance, line length, etc., waiting to locate the fault point.

[0100] Step 102: Assuming the fault points are distributed on various branches of the target area, detect the first location of the fault points in the target area based on electrical information.

[0101] In this embodiment, based on the electrical information of the target area, a multi-point monitoring method can be used to locate the fault point in the target area and obtain the first location.

[0102] Generally, the first position can be represented by the distance of the fault point from the PUM.

[0103] Among them, the multi-point monitoring method can be assumed to be distributed in each feeder (also known as branch, line, etc.) in the target area. Under this condition, the possibility of the fault point being on a certain feeder in the target area is detected based on electrical information. The feeder with the highest probability is jointly analyzed, thereby locating the first position of the fault point on that feeder.

[0104] In one embodiment of the present invention, step 102 may include the following steps:

[0105] Step 1021: Query the branch types in the target area.

[0106] In this embodiment, to facilitate the location of fault points in the target area, a single feeder in the target area can be modeled to obtain a branch model representing the single feeder.

[0107] like Figure 2 As shown, the power source G on the left represents traditional power sources, especially fossil fuel power sources, such as coal power and natural gas power, while the power source DG on the left represents distributed power sources, especially new energy power sources, such as photovoltaic power and wind power.

[0108] PMUs are installed at all power outlets. Assume there is a fault point f on the line where a fault occurs, and the resistance of fault point f is R. f The current flowing through the fault point f is I. f Therefore, the impedance from sampling point 1 to fault point f is λZ, the impedance from sampling point 2 to fault point f is (1-λ)Z, and the voltage flowing through sampling point 1 is U. 1f The current is I 1f The voltage flowing through sampling point 2 is U 2f The current is I 2f .

[0109] Based on the branch model, the target area can be divided into different branch types, including single-branch model and multi-branch model. The single-branch model is a target area containing one feeder that conforms to the branch model, while the multi-branch model is a target area containing at least two feeders that conform to the branch model.

[0110] Step 1022: If the branch type is a single branch area, then determine that the fault point is located on a single feeder within the target area. Construct a double-ended fault network based on electrical information such as voltage and current, and then solve the double-ended fault network to detect the first position of the fault point on the single feeder.

[0111] If the target area is a single-branch area, that is, the target area has a single feeder, then the fault point can be determined to be located on the single feeder in the target area. Based on the electrical information detection, the voltage equation of the measurement point is constructed. The real and imaginary parts of the voltage equation of the measurement point are separated to obtain the ranging equation system. The ranging equation system is solved using methods such as the Newton-Raphson method to obtain the first position of the fault point on the single feeder.

[0112] Step 1023: If the branch type is a multi-branch area, then assume that the fault point is distributed on each feeder of the target area in turn, and detect the first position of the fault point on a certain feeder based on the electrical information on the port of each target area.

[0113] If the target area is a single-branch area, that is, the target area has a single feeder, then the fault point can be set to be distributed on each feeder of the target area in sequence. Under this condition, the first position of the fault point on a certain feeder can be detected based on the electrical information on the port of each target area.

[0114] In one embodiment of the present invention, step 1023 may further include the following steps:

[0115] Step 10231: Set the fault point on the target line in the target area.

[0116] In this embodiment, the first position of the fault point on a certain feeder is detected by multiple iterations. In each iteration, each feeder can be set as the target line in the target area in order of number, etc. The target line is initially the first feeder in the target area ordered in this order.

[0117] Step 10232: Use the electrical information on the ports of the target area to form a set of multi-terminal fault location equations.

[0118] Based on the established fault point, electrical information from each port in the target area can be used to form a set of voltage / impedance equations according to the electrical relationships of current, voltage, and impedance during a fault. By simplifying the voltage / impedance equations, a multi-terminal fault location equation set can be obtained.

[0119] For example, the electrical information includes the phase angle of the voltage and the phase angle of the current at the fault point. Then, the length of the target line is queried, and the fault measurement value, the phase angle of the voltage, the phase angle of the current and the length of the target line are substituted into a preset mapping function. The value output by the mapping function is set to 0, which serves as a set of multi-terminal fault location equations.

[0120] In this example, the multi-terminal fault location equations are expressed as follows:

[0121]

[0122] Where f is the first location of the fault point, λ is the fault measurement value, L is the length of the target line, α is the phase angle of the voltage, and β is the phase angle of the current.

[0123] Step 10233: Solve the multi-terminal fault location equation set to obtain the fault measurement value where the fault point is located on the target line.

[0124] In practical implementation, methods such as the Newton-Raphson method can be used to solve the multi-terminal fault location equations to obtain the fault measurement value where the fault point is located on the target line.

[0125] Step 10234: Determine whether the fault measurement value is within the preset fault range; if yes, proceed to step 10235; if no, proceed to step 10236.

[0126] Step 10235: Calculate the first position of the fault point on the target line based on the fault measurement value.

[0127] Step 10236: Set the next feeder located on the current target line as the new target line, and return to execute steps 10231-10234.

[0128] In this embodiment, it can be determined whether the fault measurement value is within a preset fault range (e.g., (0, 1)). If the fault measurement value is within the preset fault range, the probability that the fault point is located on the target line in the current iteration is high. At this time, the first position of the fault point on the target line can be finally confirmed based on the fault measurement value.

[0129] If the fault metric value is outside the preset fault range, the probability that the fault point is located on the target line in the current iteration is low. At this time, the next feeder line ordered on the current target line can be set as the new target line according to the number and other order, and the next iteration can be entered until the first position of the fault point on a certain feeder line is calculated.

[0130] Step 103: Detect the second location of the fault point in the target area based on the voltage traveling wave propagating from the fault point in the target area.

[0131] In practical applications, the primary voltage exhibits a distinct traveling wave characteristic, with voltage singularities appearing upon the arrival of the initial and reflected traveling waves. Due to the resonance of the inductance and capacitance within the CVT (capacitive voltage transformer), the CVT's frequency response has multiple resonant points, resulting in poor high-frequency response, especially with resonant damped CVTs. The energy stored within the CVT prevents the secondary voltage from rapidly following changes in the primary voltage.

[0132] Although the energy storage of a fast-saturating reactive damping CVT is much less than that of a resonant damping CVT, its high-frequency response and high-frequency signal tracking capability are still unsatisfactory due to the stray capacitance inside the CVT. When the traveling wave front of the primary voltage passes through the CVT, it causes low-frequency and high-frequency oscillations of the CVT. The traveling wave front is smoothed and stretched, and corresponding to the arrival of the initial traveling wave, the secondary voltage exhibits obvious high-frequency oscillations at the fault point.

[0133] The amplitude of the subsequent traveling wave is greatly reduced due to the attenuation of the line and the reflection at the fault point and the bus, but it can still be reflected in the secondary voltage of the CVT.

[0134] It is evident that although the traveling wave characteristics of the CVT secondary voltage are not as pronounced as those of the primary voltage, the arrival of the primary traveling wave can still be reflected in the secondary voltage. In other words, while the CVT secondary voltage cannot accurately transmit the primary traveling wave, it contains information about its arrival, with the initial traveling wave being the most obvious, and subsequent reflection and refraction wave detection also being relatively clear. Therefore, fault traveling wave location can still be achieved directly using the CVT secondary voltage.

[0135] Therefore, in this embodiment, sensors such as CVT can be used to detect the voltage traveling wave propagating in the target area, and the second location of the fault point in the target area can be detected based on the voltage traveling wave propagating in the target area.

[0136] In the specific implementation, the fault point is located on the line in the target area. Synchronization timing devices are installed at both ends of the line. The synchronization timing device can be an independent sensor or a module in a component such as a satellite positioning system. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0137] Using sensors such as CVTs to collect the voltage traveling wave propagating from the fault point to both ends of the line when a fault occurs, the traveling wave ranging method is implemented. Based on the time when the voltage traveling wave is received at both ends of the line, a propagation equation system is constructed. By solving the propagation equation system, the second location of the fault point on the line can be obtained.

[0138] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, suppose a fault occurs at point F on the line at time t, generating a voltage traveling wave. M and N are the two ends of the line, L is the length of the line, l1 is the distance between the fault point and end M, and l2 is the distance between the fault point and end N. M t is the time when the voltage traveling wave is received at terminal M. N This is the moment when the traveling voltage wave is received at terminal N.

[0139] Therefore, the propagation equations include:

[0140] l1=v(t M -t)]

[0141] l2=v(t N -t)]

[0142] Eliminating the time t when the fault occurs, and substituting l1 + l2 = L into the propagation equations, the propagation equations simplify to:

[0143]

[0144]

[0145] Where v is the frequency of the traveling wave, and l1 and l2 together characterize the second location of the fault point on the line.

[0146] Step 104: Verify the validity of the first position based on the second position.

[0147] In this embodiment, the first position calculated by the multi-point monitoring method is the primary position, and the second position calculated by the traveling wave ranging method is the secondary position. The validity of the first position is verified based on the second position, that is, whether the first position is valid.

[0148] In a practical implementation, the difference between the first position and the second position can be calculated as an error, and this error can be compared with a preset threshold.

[0149] If the error is less than the preset threshold, it means that the difference between the first position and the second position is small, and the validity of the first position can be determined as valid.

[0150] Step 105: If the first position is verified to be valid, then the fault point is determined to be in the first position in the target area.

[0151] If the validity of the first position is verified, the first position can be taken as the final result of fault detection, and the fault point can be determined to be in the first position in the target area.

[0152] In this embodiment, electrical information is collected from a target area in the distribution network, and the target area contains fault points where faults have occurred. Assuming the fault points are distributed across various branches within the target area, a first location of the fault point in the target area is detected based on the electrical information. A second location of the fault point in the target area is detected based on the voltage traveling wave propagating from the fault point. The validity of the first location is verified based on the second location. If the first location is verified as valid, the fault point is determined to be in the first location within the target area. This embodiment locates the fault point from multiple dimensions. Verifying the first location of the fault point based on the second location using the voltage traveling wave improves the accuracy of fault point location. Furthermore, both methods have broad applicability, satisfying various business scenarios for fault point location.
