[0108] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a fault location method using AT traction network reclosing current according to some embodiments of this disclosure.

[0109] exist Figure 1 In the application scenario, firstly, when the reclosing operation 102 is detected, the computing device 101 can obtain the circuit parameters 103 of the target rail, target contact wire and target negative feeder after the composite gate, and determine whether the target AT traction network has a permanent short circuit fault 104.

[0110] Secondly, the computing device 101 can determine the fault type 105 of the permanent short circuit fault based on the circuit parameters 103 if a permanent short circuit fault is determined to have occurred.

[0111] Finally, the computing device 101 can calculate the short-circuit fault distance 107 corresponding to the fault type according to the preset calculation strategy 106, the fault type 105 and the target parameter 103.

[0112] It should be noted that the aforementioned computing device 101 can be either hardware or software. When the computing device is hardware, it can be implemented as a distributed cluster consisting of multiple servers or terminal devices, or as a single server or a single terminal device. When the computing device is software, it can be installed within the hardware devices listed above. It can be implemented as, for example, multiple software programs or software modules used to provide distributed services, or as a single software program or software module. No specific limitations are made here.

[0113] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of computing devices shown is merely illustrative. Any number of computing devices can be used depending on implementation needs.

[0114] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The flowchart 200 illustrates some embodiments of a fault location method utilizing AT traction network reclosing current according to this disclosure. The method can be... Figure 1 The method for fault location using the reclosing current of the AT traction network is executed by the computing device 101. The method includes the following steps:

[0115] Step 201: When a reclosing operation is detected, obtain the circuit parameters of the target rail, target contact wire and target negative feeder after the composite gate, and determine whether a permanent short circuit fault has occurred in the target AT traction network.

[0116] In some embodiments, the execution subject of the fault location method utilizing the AT traction network reclosing current (e.g., Figure 1 The computing device 101 shown can be connected to the target device via a wired or wireless connection. Then, when a reclosing operation is detected, it acquires the circuit parameters of the target rail, target contact wire, and target negative feeder after the reclosing gate to determine whether a permanent short circuit fault has occurred in the target AT traction network.

[0117] Please refer to Figure 3a Reclosing operation can refer to the process where, when a fault is detected by a relay protection device or other detection device in the command center or processing center, all circuit breakers are first closed, followed by the closure of the first and second circuit breakers. During the closure, a short-time current is generated in the target contact line and the target negative feeder. The relevant parameters of this short-time current are obtained, which are the circuit parameters.

[0118] The target rail can refer to a section of rail used for testing. The target contact wire can refer to a section of contact wire corresponding to the target rail. The target negative feeder can refer to a section of negative feeder corresponding to the aforementioned rail / contact wire. The AT traction network can refer to the AT traction network of the target network segment under testing. It should be noted that the first end of the target rail can be the rail between two stations, the rail between two measuring points, or the rail between a certain station and a certain measuring point. The contact wire and negative feeder are similar and will not be described in detail here. Please refer to... Figure 3a The target contact line, target rail, and target negative feeder are parallel and correspond to each other. That is, the first end of the target rail corresponds to the first end of the target contact line and the first end of the target negative feeder, the second end of the target rail corresponds to the second end of the target contact line and the target negative feeder, and the middle part of the target rail also corresponds to the middle part of the target contact line and the target negative feeder.

[0119] Therefore, in some optional implementations, the first end and the second end of the target rail refer to the beginning and end of the target rail, respectively, and the first end and the second end of the target contact line refer to the beginning and end of the target contact line, respectively. The beginning end can refer to the starting point of the rail / contact line located at a certain station, and the end end can refer to the ending point of the rail / contact line located at another station, that is, the target rail / contact line is located between two stations.

[0120] When a fault occurs in the AT traction network and a reclosing operation is performed, the cause of the fault can be either a permanent fault (or transient fault) or a non-permanent fault. Non-permanent faults usually restore normal power supply and return to normal operation after the reclosing operation. Permanent faults require manual intervention. Since non-permanent faults typically account for a large proportion (e.g., over 70%, depending on the specific area), they do not require manual maintenance. Therefore, determining whether a fault is permanent greatly increases the practicality of this disclosure.

[0121] In some optional implementations, the circuit parameters include the contact wire current at the first end of the target contact wire, the negative feeder current at the first end of the target negative feeder, a first voltage representing the potential difference between the first end of the target contact wire and the first end of the target rail, a second voltage representing the potential difference between the second end of the target contact wire and the second end of the target rail, a third voltage representing the potential difference between the first end of the target negative feeder and the first end of the target rail, a fourth voltage representing the potential difference between the second end of the target negative feeder and the second end of the target rail, the contact wire impedance representing the impedance per kilometer of the target contact wire, the rail impedance representing the impedance per kilometer of the target rail, the negative feeder impedance representing the impedance per kilometer of the target negative feeder, a first mutual impedance representing the mutual impedance per kilometer of the target contact wire and the target rail, a second mutual impedance representing the mutual impedance per kilometer of the target negative feeder and the target rail, and a third mutual impedance representing the mutual impedance per kilometer of the target negative feeder and the target contact wire.

[0122] The aforementioned executing entity can determine whether a permanent short-circuit fault has occurred in the target AT traction network through the following steps: First, obtain the first standard voltage and the third standard voltage corresponding to the first voltage and the third voltage respectively during normal operation; Second, within a first time period after the reclosing operation, if the first voltage difference between the first voltage and the first standard voltage is not greater than a preset first threshold, and the second voltage difference between the third voltage and the third standard voltage is not greater than a preset second threshold, it indicates that no permanent fault has occurred; otherwise, it indicates that a permanent fault has occurred.

[0123] The first duration can refer to the time it takes to acquire current parameters after the composite circuit breaker operation is executed. This duration is generally short, such as 1000 milliseconds, and the specific value is set according to the actual situation; this is just an example. The first threshold can refer to the limit value of the difference between the floating value and the average value of the first voltage during normal operation. When the difference of the first voltage is greater than the first threshold, it indicates that the line has a fault. Similarly, the second threshold can refer to the limit value of the difference between the floating value and the average value of the second voltage during normal operation. It should be noted that the first threshold and the second threshold can be fixed values ​​or percentage values. For example, as an example, if the average voltage of the first voltage during normal operation is 1000V and the allowable fluctuation range is ±50V, then the first threshold is 50V; or, the first threshold can be 110% of the average voltage value during normal operation, that is, when it exceeds 110% of the current, a short circuit fault is judged to have occurred. The above 50V or 110% are just examples; the specific values ​​need to be calculated or confirmed according to the actual situation, and no specific restrictions are imposed. In addition, the short circuit fault can refer to common short circuit faults such as metallic short circuits or high-resistance short circuits (non-metallic short circuits).

[0124] It should be noted that the aforementioned wireless connection methods may include, but are not limited to, 3G / 4G / 5G connections, WiFi connections, Bluetooth connections, WiMAX connections, Zigbee connections, UWB (ultra wideband) connections, and other currently known or future wireless connection methods.

[0125] Step 202: If a permanent short circuit fault is determined to have occurred, the fault type of the permanent short circuit fault is determined based on the circuit parameters.

[0188] The first end of the contact wire current transformer is connected to the first end of the target contact wire, and is used to measure the contact wire current at the first end of the target contact wire and transmit the contact wire current to the ranging device.

[0189] The first end of the negative feeder current transformer is connected to the first end of the target negative feeder, and is used to measure the negative feeder current at the first end of the target negative feeder and transmit the negative feeder current to the ranging device.

[0190] The first end of the first voltage transformer is connected to the first end of the target contact wire, and is used to measure the first voltage between the first end of the target contact wire and the first end of the target rail, and transmit the first voltage to the ranging device.

[0193] The first end of the fourth voltage transformer is connected to the second end of the target negative feeder, and is used to measure the fourth voltage between the second end of the target negative feeder and the second end of the target rail, and transmit the fourth voltage to the acquisition device.

The ranging device operates as follows: Figure 2 The corresponding steps.

[0200] Additionally, it should be noted that within each AT railway section, a single-track railway requires at least two autotransformers (ATs) per power supply arm. The AT at the substation outlet can be omitted, and the ATs of any two adjacent AT railway sections can be shared. Therefore, the number of ATs in each AT railway section can be at least two. For example, it could be... Figure 3bThe three ATs can also be four ATs (as is commonly used in Japan), depending on the actual situation. No specific restrictions are set here.

[0201] In some embodiments, the data transmission path is a fiber optic channel. The data transmission path can be a wired or wireless connection. When using a wired connection, optical fiber can be used as the material for the data exchange path. When using a wireless connection, the connection method can include, but is not limited to, 3G / 4G / 5G connections, WiFi connections, Bluetooth connections, WiMAX connections, Zigbee connections, UWB (ultra-wideband) connections, and other currently known or future wireless connection methods. Due to the massive amount of data generated during operation, wired connections using optical fiber are often employed.

[0202] In addition, during actual operation, the following three methods can be used to calculate the short-circuit fault distance:

[0203] a. The data acquisition device sends the acquired data to the ranging device, which then calculates the short-circuit fault distance;

[0204] b. The ranging device sends the collected data to the acquisition device, which then calculates the short-circuit fault distance;

[0205] c. The ranging device sends the collected data to the acquisition device. At the same time, the ranging device sends the collected data to the acquisition device. The two devices work together to calculate the data and send the result of the calculation to the preset central computing device.

[0206] Since ranging devices are often located at stations and have strong computing power, while detection devices may be located at small data collection points in the middle of the route and have weaker computing power, either calculation method a or c is often used in actual operation.

[0207] In some embodiments, the system further includes a central computing device, which is connected to a second end of the acquisition device and a fourth end of the ranging device.

[0208] The ranging device is also used to transmit the contact wire current and the first voltage to the acquisition device, and the acquisition device is also used to implement the steps of the method as described in any one of claims 1 to 4 when it is in operation.

[0209] The central computing device simultaneously receives the first short-circuit fault distance calculated by the ranging device and the second short-circuit fault distance calculated by the acquisition device. An alarm is issued when the difference between the first and second short-circuit fault distances exceeds a preset first threshold. The first short-circuit fault distance can refer to the short-circuit fault distance calculated by the ranging device. The second short-circuit fault distance can refer to the short-circuit fault distance calculated by the acquisition device. Under normal operating conditions, the two calculation results should be equal. When they are not equal, an alarm message needs to be issued for subsequent processing, such as manual intervention.

In the event of a confirmed permanent short-circuit fault, determining the fault type based on the circuit parameters includes: if the first voltage difference is greater than or equal to a preset voltage threshold, and the second voltage difference is not greater than a preset second threshold, the fault type is a first fault type, indicating a short-circuit fault between the target contact wire and the target rail; if the first voltage difference is not greater than the first threshold, and the second voltage difference is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the fault type is a second fault type, indicating a short-circuit fault between the target negative feeder and the target rail; if the first voltage difference is not greater than the first threshold, and the second voltage difference is not greater than the second threshold, the fault type is a third fault type, indicating a short-circuit fault between the target contact wire and the target negative feeder. The calculation module is used to calculate the short-circuit fault distance corresponding to the fault type based on a preset calculation strategy, the fault type, and the circuit parameters.
