Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of traction power supply lightning protection and reliability analysis, in particular to a heavy haul railway catenary reliability prediction method and system under lightning weather. BACKGROUND

[0002] The catenary is the only power source of electric locomotives. If the catenary trips or breaks, it will cause traction power supply failure or even paralysis of the entire line. Lightning is a serious natural disaster. When lightning strikes, lightning overvoltage is generated on the contact line, which will cause the catenary to trip and even break in severe cases. According to statistics, the number of failures caused by lightning each year accounts for more than 50% of the total number of catenary failures. Therefore, lightning has become a major factor affecting the safety and reliability of catenary. Heavy haul railway equipment is mostly located in mountainous and hilly areas, and there are many iron ore mountains along the line, which further reduces the reliability of heavy haul railway catenary in rainy weather. Therefore, it is urgent to study the heavy haul railway catenary trip probability and reliability prediction technology under lightning weather, solve the problem of catenary reliability prediction under lightning conditions, and lay a theoretical foundation for heavy haul railway lightning weather early warning and maintenance strategy.

[0003] Existing overhead line lightning trip research can be divided into three categories: statistical, analytical and simulation. Statistical research: Doostan M., Alvehag K., Kankanala P. and other scholars have used binomial distribution model, time-varying failure rate model and exponential model to study the probability of failure of overhead transmission lines caused by lightning weather. Analytical research: The electrical geometry model (EGM) is a research and analysis method that is often widely used and is widely used to evaluate the lightning protection performance and reliability of transmission lines, distribution lines and catenary lines and other facilities. However, this model is mostly used for analysis of lightning trip probability in the case of annual average lightning, and lacks consideration of the randomness of the catenary lightning process, and cannot analyze the time-varying characteristics of the catenary lightning trip. Simulation research: Lucca G. used the Monte Carlo method to calculate the failure rate of overhead lines, Balijepalli N. used the Bootstrap method to model the lightning parameters, and then used the Monte Carlo method to evaluate the reliability indicators of the distribution network under lightning weather, and Chen J. also considered the randomness of the lightning process, combined with electromagnetic transient simulation and Monte Carlo method to calculate the lightning flashover probability of distribution lines. However, the simulation method has large amount of calculation and cannot achieve complete random sampling effect.

[0004] Therefore, the existing catenary lightning trip and reliability prediction method has the problems of low prediction accuracy and low feasibility. SUMMARY

[0060] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application clearer, the application is further described in detail below in combination with examples and drawings, and the schematic embodiment of the application and the description thereof are only used to explain the application, and do not limit the application.

[0061] Based on the existing catenary lightning fault tripping and reliability prediction method, there are problems of low prediction accuracy and low feasibility. The application designs a heavy load railway catenary reliability prediction method and system under thunder weather,

[0062] On the basis of modeling the lightning occurrence probability, the lightning position information and lightning parameters are analyzed by the DBSCAN algorithm, so as to predict the lightning occurrence times and lightning range in the next time period by using a plurality of (such as two) continuous time lightning clusters; finally, the lightning tripping probability of a single group of catenary pillars is calculated by combining the electrical geometric model of the catenary, so as to obtain the lightning tripping probability of the catenary powered by the heavy load railway substation, and evaluate the reliability. The method has high availability and accuracy, and the actual data verification analysis shows that the method can be used for actual catenary lightning early warning, and improve the lightning fault defense level of heavy load railway.

[0063] The application mainly includes the following parts:

[0064] First, lightning occurrence model

[0065] Considering that the existing lightning tripping calculation model only uses historical thunderstorm data to calculate the annual lightning tripping rate in combination with the electrical geometric model, however, the influence of real-time changing lightning data on the lightning tripping probability and reliability of the heavy load railway catenary is ignored. The application firstly fits the distribution function of lightning parameters (ground flash density, lightning current and lightning current steepness, etc.) by using historical lightning data, and establishes a lightning occurrence model by using a non-homogeneous Poisson process, so as to facilitate subsequent analysis of the lightning tripping probability and reliability of the catenary system.

[0066] Second, lightning range prediction based on clustering algorithm

[0067] Since lightning weather has seasonality, basically lightning weather occurs more frequently in summer every year, therefore the present application selects time period in which lightning weather occurs frequently to research the catenary. When lightning weather occurs continuously, the time period is divided and sorted in equal interval, in each time interval, the longitude and latitude information of lightning can be clustered in space by using density-based clustering algorithm, in combination with lightning parameters such as lightning occurrence time, occurrence frequency and lightning current amplitude, the area in which lightning occurs more densely is identified, and then the lightning range is predicted.

[0068] Third, heavy haul railway catenary lightning fault probability calculation and reliability prediction

[0069] The electrical geometric model is a kind of electrical geometric analysis model which combines lightning discharge characteristics and other lightning index parameters with the structure and size of the actual researched railway catenary. Therefore, the lightning fault probability of heavy haul railway catenary can be calculated by establishing the electrical geometric model of heavy haul railway catenary in combination with the predicted lightning range, so as to calculate the reliability of catenary and realize the reliability prediction of heavy haul railway catenary under lightning weather.

[0070] Embodiment 1

[0071] As shown in Figure 1 , the present application is a kind of reliability prediction method of heavy haul railway catenary under lightning weather, which comprises:

[0072] Step 1, obtaining the historical lightning data of heavy haul railway catenary, including lightning weather occurrence data and catenary trip-out fault history record data under the influence of lightning weather.

[0073] Step 2, establishing a lightning occurrence model according to the historical lightning data of heavy haul railway catenary, including:

[0074] The present application uses a non-homogeneous Poisson process to replace the lightning occurrence event in natural environment, so that the time interval between the number of lightning in each time and the number of lightning obeys non-homogeneous Poisson distribution, and establishes a lightning occurrence model.

[0075] Specifically, the expression of the lightning occurrence model is:

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] In the formula, P{N(t)=n} is the probability of n lightning in time (0,t]; N(t) is the number of lightning in time interval (0,t]; V(t) is the cumulative lightning rate; n is the number of lightning; f(t) is the lightning occurrence probability at time t.

[0079] Therefore, the expectation of the number of lightning occurrences in the time interval from t to t+Δt is:

[0080] E[N(t+Δt)-N(t)]=V(t+Δt)-V(t) (3)

[0081] Step 3, divide the continuous lightning weather period into equal intervals and sort them, in each time interval, use the density-based clustering algorithm to cluster the lightning location information in space, and get the lightning clustering cluster of each time interval;

[0082] (1) DBSCAN algorithm

[0083] The DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithm is considered as a high-density object space obtained by dividing a low-density space, a set of similar points is assigned to a cluster, and data points in a high-density area are grouped and called clusters, and data points not belonging to any cluster are designated as noise.

[0084] The basic principle of the DBSCAN algorithm is as follows: as shown in Figure 2 , p and q represent spatial entities in the object set Γ, ε represents the maximum Euclidean distance for two points to be in the same neighborhood, and N ε (p) represents the set of spatial entities within a distance of ε from entity p, and Entity min (p) represents the minimum number of spatial entities in the neighborhood circle centered on entity p; |N ε (p) | is the number of spatial entities in the neighborhood of p, if |N ε (p) |≥Entity min (p), then the spatial entity p is a center point. If q∈N ε (p) and spatial entity p is a center point, then p is directly density reachable for q, and this property is transitive.

[0085] Based on the above DBSCAN algorithm principle, the specific steps of the density-based noise application spatial clustering algorithm can be obtained as shown in the flowchart Figure 3 .

[0086] (2) Lightning clustering based on DBSCAN algorithm

[0087] The thunder weather often lasts for half an hour to several hours, and the thunder lasts for about 5 minutes, so the present application takes the lightning in 5 minutes as the thunder in the same time period. After dividing the thunder occurrence data according to the time period, the thunder monitoring information in the same time period is selected for cluster analysis. According to the above principle, for any lightning position p, the following formula is known:

[0088] N ε ={dist(q,p)≤ε} (4)

[0089] Wherein, epsilon represents the neighborhood radius of the thunder cluster C, which and Entity min (p) are set according to actual conditions in application, and dist(q,p) represents the distance between the lightning q and the point p.

[0090] The continuous thunder weather period is divided and sorted at equal intervals, in each time period, the lightning position information is spatially clustered by using the density-based clustering algorithm, and the thunder cluster C tk of each time period is obtained. tk (X t ,Y t ,epsilon t ,N t ,P t ), wherein t is the time period to which the thunder cluster C tk belongs; X t and Y t are the longitude coordinate and latitude coordinate of the center point of the thunder cluster C tk , respectively; epsilon t is the neighborhood radius of the thunder cluster; N t is the number of lightning in the thunder cluster; and P t is the probability of lightning falling in the thunder cluster C tk in the time period t.

[0091] The longitude coordinate and latitude coordinate of the center point of the thunder cluster C tk in the time period t are calculated by the following formula:

[0092]

[0093] In the formula, x i and y i are the longitude coordinate and latitude coordinate of the lightning point i in the thunder cluster, respectively.

[0094] The neighborhood radius epsilon t of the thunder cluster is calculated by the following formula:

[0095]

[0096] The density P of lightning falling in the cluster cluster in the time period t t The calculation formula is:

[0097]

[0098] Wherein, S represents the area of lightning cluster C tk .

[0099] Step 4, combined with lightning parameters, the area where lightning occurs more densely in each cluster cluster is identified, and then the lightning cluster in the previous several continuous time periods is used to predict the lightning range in the next time period;

[0100] On the basis of the lightning cluster obtained in step 3, the lightning cluster in several continuous time periods is used to predict the lightning range in the next time period.

[0101] Specifically, the method calculates the moving trend and speed of the center point coordinates of the lightning cluster in the previous two continuous time periods t-2 and t-1, obtains the corresponding first moving vector V Ct-2 , second moving speed vector V Ct-1 ; here, the vector result is represented as:

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] In the formula, (X (t-2) , Y (t-2) ), (X (t-1) , Y (t-1) ) and (X t , Y t ) are the center point coordinates of the lightning cluster in time period t-2, time period t-1 and time period t respectively.

[0105] Calculate the first change amount λ t-2 of lightning stroke range from time period t-2 to time period t-1, and calculate the second change amount λ t-1 of lightning stroke range from time period t-1 to time period t;

[0106]

[0107] According to the first moving vector V Ct-2 and the second moving speed vector V Ct-1 , the third moving speed vector V Ct of the center point of the lightning cluster from time period t to time period t+1 is calculated;

[0108]

[0109] According to the first change amount λ t-2 and the second change amount λ t-1 , a third change amount λ t of the lightning strike range from the time period t to the time period t+1 is calculated;

[0110]

[0111] According to the third moving speed vector V Ct and the center coordinates (X t , Y t ) of the lightning cluster at the time period t, the center coordinates (X t+1 , Y t+1 ) of the lightning cluster at the time period t+1 are predicted, i.e. the longitude and latitude of the lightning strike range at the time period t+1;

[0112] (X t+1 , Y t+1 ) = (X t , Y t ) + V Ct · Δt (12)

[0113] wherein Δt is a time interval divided according to the lightning duration.

[0114] According to the third change amount λ t and the neighborhood radius ε t of the lightning cluster at the time period t, the neighborhood radius ε t+1 of the lightning cluster at the time period t+1 is predicted;

[0115] ε t+1 = ε t (1 + λ t ) (13)

[0116] In combination with formula (2), the lightning strike number N t+1 of the lightning cluster at the time period t+1 is predicted according to the lightning cumulative occurrence rate;

[0117]

[0118] According to the neighborhood radius ε t+1 of the lightning cluster at the time period t+1, the lightning strike number N t+1 of the lightning cluster at the time period t+1 and the ground flash density GFD, the lightning strike density P t+1 in the lightning cluster is calculated, and the calculation formula is:

[0119]

[0120] In the formula, P t+1is the lightning ground flash density in the kth lightning cluster, k = 1, 2,..., m; m is the total number of lightning clusters at time period t + 1; N k is the lightning ground flash density in the kth lightning cluster, k = 1, 2,..., m; m is the total number of lightning clusters at time period t + 1; N t+1 represents the number of lightning in the cluster at time t + 1.

[0121] Formula (15) calculates the lightning weight of each lightning cluster by calculating the hourly ground flash density data obtained from the China Meteorological Administration, so as to obtain the lightning density in a cluster.

[0122] The lightning current size of each lightning in the lightning cluster is determined by the lightning current probability distribution f I (I) is sampled.

[0123] Step 5, by establishing an electrical geometric model of the heavy haul railway overhead contact system, combining the predicted lightning range and the lightning occurrence model, the lightning fault probability of the heavy haul railway overhead contact system is calculated; according to the lightning fault probability, the reliability of the heavy haul railway overhead contact system is calculated.

[0124] (1) Contact net lightning trip-out probability

[0125] The contact net lightning trip-out often needs to consider two cases: the support, feeder, and return line are hit or the dropper, messenger wire, and contact line are hit. If the contact net is hit by lightning, whether the contact net trips depends on whether the lightning current exceeds the lightning withstand level of the contact net.

[0126] When the support, feeder, and return line are hit, the lightning withstand level is:

[0127]

[0128]

[0129] Where, R is the grounding resistance of the support, L is the equivalent inductance of the support, U F50% is the flashover voltage of the feeder, h T is the average height of the messenger wire, h F is the average height of the feeder, τ is the time before the lightning wave, generally, the value is 2.65us. k0 is the geometric coupling coefficient between the feeder and the messenger wire, k1 is the corona correction coefficient, if it is single lightning conductor, it is 1.1-1.2, if it is double lightning conductor, it is 1.15-1.25, L g is the parallel inductance of the protection ground wire on both sides of the support.

[0130] In this case, the trip-out probability is:

[0131]

[0132] In the formula, fI (I) is a lightning current probability density distribution function.

[0133] When the dropper, contact wire, and messenger wire are hit, the lightning withstand level is as follows:

[0134]

[0135] wherein U 50% is the contact wire flashover voltage, k0 is the geometric coupling coefficient between the feeder and the messenger wire, and k1 is the corona correction coefficient, which is taken as 1.1-1.2 if it is a single lightning conductor and 1.15-1.25 if it is a double lightning conductor.

[0136] In this case, the trip-out probability is:

[0137]

[0138] As described above, for the ith group of pillars (i = 1, 2,..., n k , n k is the number of contact net pillars in the kth predicted lightning cluster (i.e., lightning range), if the predicted lightning range and the lightning range of the ith group of pillars overlap, the probability of contact net lightning trip-out is as follows:

[0139] P i = ξ(P a P1+P b P2) (21)

[0140] wherein ξ represents the arc establishment rate, P a represents the probability of lightning strike on the pillars, feeder, and return wire, and P b represents the probability of lightning strike on the dropper, contact wire, and messenger wire.

[0141] Therefore, the contact net lightning trip-out probability in the m lightning clusters at time period t+1, i.e., the calculation formula of the heavy-haul railway contact net lightning failure probability, can be obtained as follows:

[0142]

[0143] wherein P is the contact net lightning trip-out probability in the m lightning clusters at time period t+1, which is the heavy-haul railway contact net lightning failure probability; m is the total number of lightning clusters at time period t+1; n k is the number of contact net pillars in the kth predicted lightning cluster (i.e., lightning range); P l is the lightning occurrence probability obtained from formula (2); P iP represents the lightning probability of the ith group of pillars, S′ i,k is the area of the overlapping part of the predicted lightning range and the lightning range of the ith group of pillars, and S kP is the area of the kth lightning spatial cluster in the predicted time period t+1; P i N represents the lightning trip-out probability of the ith group of pillars; N k Nk represents the number of lightning strikes in the kth lightning cluster.

[0144] Formula (22) is the lightning trip-out probability prediction model of the present application.

[0145] (2) Reliability prediction of heavy haul railway under lightning weather

[0146] If the reliability of the heavy haul railway is to be calculated, first, the reference reliability of the heavy haul railway is calculated according to the lightning failure probability; the reference reliability function is as follows:

[0147]

[0148] Secondly, the reliability of the overhead contact system of the heavy haul railway is calculated according to the reference reliability of the heavy haul railway and the operation and maintenance reliability of the overhead contact system. The present application analyzes the reliability of the overhead contact system of the railway under lightning weather, and the railway reliability function can be obtained as follows:

[0149] R(t) = R m (t)R base (t) (24)

[0150] Wherein, R m (t) represents the reliability of the heavy haul railway overhead contact system under the condition of routine maintenance and replacement of parts.

[0151] The present application analyzes the occurrence data of lightning weather and the historical record data of the trip-out failure of the overhead contact system under the influence of lightning weather, and innovatively proposes the lightning trip-out probability prediction and reliability model of the overhead contact system. The present application selects a power supply arm of a certain substation along the heavy haul railway in China for example research, discusses and quantifies the real-time trip-out probability and reliability of the overhead contact system under the influence of lightning weather. It is verified that the model has high feasibility in the actual overhead contact system, whether in the real-time calculation of the lightning range or the lightning trip-out probability of the overhead contact system.

[0152] In specific implementation, the overhead contact system along the Shuozhou-Huanghuagang heavy haul railway is implemented, as follows:

[0153] First, the lightning data along the heavy haul railway is collected. The lightning occurrence positions around the power supply arm of a certain substation along the railway are counted, and the results are shown in Table 1. Figure 4

[0154] ​According to the statistical analysis of the obtained historical lightning data, the lightning activity is fitted using the non-homogeneous Poisson model proposed in step 2, and a lightning occurrence model is established for each hour of the year. It can be seen that the lightning occurrence density function subject to the non-homogeneous Poisson distribution is as shown in formula (21). Figure 5

[0155] Secondly, according to the lightning trip-out prediction model proposed above, based on the lightning occurrence in the last three time periods, the prediction of the lightning range in the next five minutes can be obtained, and the lightning trip-out probability and reliability of the heavy-load railway overhead contact system can be obtained by combining the lightning trip-out probability of the overhead contact system given by formula (22). Next, the present application is demonstrated from the micro and macro aspects:

[0156] Example 1: The lightning parameters in a certain area of the railway from 9:00 to 10:00 on July 14, 2022 are shown in Table 1. Table 2 lists the prediction results of the lightning trip-out probability of the overhead contact system in the time period with high trip-out probability.

[0157] Table 1 Lightning data in the area near a certain substation of the railway from 9:00 to 10:00 on July 14, 2022 (part)

[0158]

[0159]

[0160] Table 2 Prediction results of high risk of lightning trip-out of overhead contact system from 9:00 to 10:00 on July 14, 2022

[0161] Forecast time Site Lightning trip rate Number of tower groups within the forecast lightning range 2022-07-14 09:10 Site 1 - Site 2 7.34% 1044 2022-07-14 09:32 Site 1 - Site 2 3.46% 503 2022-07-14 09:40 Site 1 - Site 2 6.39% 779

[0162] According to the historical trip-out report records, the lightning trip-out accident occurred at 9:11 on July 14, 2022, which is consistent with the prediction results.

[0163] Example 2: For the lightning trip-out faults of the heavy-load railway overhead contact system from 2020 to 2022, a total of 15 lightning trip-out times of the overhead contact system occurred. The lightning trip-out probability prediction model (formula (22)) proposed in the present application is applied to analyze the results, and Table 3 is the prediction calculation results of the lightning trip-out probability obtained by using the model.

[0165]

[0166]

[0167] ​Finally, the reliability prediction analysis of the catenary of the heavy haul railway under the influence of thunder and lightning weather on July 14, 2022 from 9:00 to 10:00 can be obtained according to the catenary reliability model proposed in the foregoing, as shown in Table 4.

[0168] Table 4 Reliability prediction of catenary of heavy haul railway line from 9:00 to 10:00 on July 14, 2022

[0169]

[0170] As can be seen from Table 4, the catenary reliability is the lowest between 9:10 and 9:15 in this time period, and the trip-out accident caused by lightning strike occurred at 9:11 on July 14, 2022 according to the fault history record data, which is consistent with the analysis result, so it can be obtained that the catenary reliability model of the heavy haul railway under the influence of thunder and lightning weather proposed in this paper has high availability and accuracy.
