Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure generally relates to the field of rail transit technology, specifically to the field of battery power supply technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for restoring train leakage current. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, trains (such as subways, trains, or high-speed trains) provide convenience for people's travel. The train operation principle is that the power system transmits and distributes electrical energy to the distribution boxes in each carriage through the power grid, and the train is driven by each distribution box.

[0003] In existing technologies, during electrical energy transmission, leakage may occur due to aging of the insulation layer on the surface of the transmission line or other reasons, which can damage electrical equipment inside the train carriage. To ensure equipment safety, leakage protection systems can be implemented in the event of a leakage, protecting other equipment from damage except for the affected component.

[0004] However, existing technology only provides timely protection for the equipment, but leakage protection can cause trains to stop, causing inconvenience to train operations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method, device, equipment, and medium for train leakage recovery to address the aforementioned technical problems. This method can detect leakage in the train, determine the specific location of the leakage (i.e., the leakage node), and promptly supply power to normal nodes other than the leakage node through a battery module, ensuring uninterrupted train operation and providing convenience for train operation.

[0006] Firstly, a method for restoring electrical leakage in a train is provided, the method comprising:

[0007] Conduct leakage detection on the train to identify the leakage point;

[0008] If the leakage node is a track-side node, then the track-side node is disconnected and the battery module is controlled to enter the power supply state.

[0009] If the leakage node is a train-side node, the collected voltage of the train is detected, and the battery module is controlled to enter the power supply state when the collected voltage is less than a preset threshold; the collected voltage is the track-side voltage collected by the train's traction inverter.

[0010] Secondly, a train leakage current restoration device is provided, the device comprising:

[0011] The detection unit performs leakage detection on the train to identify the leakage point.

[0012] If the leakage node is a track-side node, the processing unit will disconnect the track-side node and control the battery module to enter the power supply state.

[0013] If the leakage node is a train-side node, the control unit detects the collected voltage of the train and controls the battery module to enter the power supply state when the collected voltage is less than a preset threshold; the collected voltage is the track-side voltage collected by the train's traction inverter.

[0014] Thirdly, a train leakage current recovery system is provided, the system comprising:

[0015] The signal module, vehicle controller, battery module, and battery manager are used to acquire hard-wired signals from the train's battery module; these hard-wired signals are used to drive or shut down the train's battery module.

[0016] The battery manager is used to detect leakage current in the train and identify the leakage point.

[0017] The signal module or vehicle controller is also used to: if the leakage node is a track-side node, disconnect the track-side node and control the battery module to enter the power supply state; if the leakage node is a train-side node, detect the train's collected voltage and control the battery module to enter the power supply state when the collected voltage is less than a preset threshold; the collected voltage is the track-side voltage collected by the train's traction inverter.

[0018] Fourthly, a computer device is provided, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored not in the memory but executable on the processor, characterized in that, when the processor executes the program, it implements the steps of the method described in the first aspect and any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0019] Fifthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the method described in the first aspect and any possible implementation thereof.

[0020] Sixthly, a computer program product is provided, the computer program product including instructions, which, when executed, implement the steps of the method described in the first aspect and any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0021] The train leakage current recovery method of this application can determine the specific location of the leakage (i.e., the leakage node) and promptly supply power to normal nodes other than the leakage node through the battery module, ensuring uninterrupted train operation and facilitating train operation. Specifically, leakage detection is performed on the train to determine the leakage node; if the leakage node is a track-side node, the track-side node is disconnected, and the battery module is controlled to enter the power supply state; if the leakage node is a train-side node, the train's sampling voltage is detected, and the battery module is controlled to enter the power supply state when the sampling voltage is less than a preset threshold; the sampling voltage is the track-side voltage collected by the train's traction inverter. The above steps can prevent train shutdown and facilitate train operation. In contrast, in the prior art, when the leakage location is determined, simply using a leakage protection device to quickly disconnect the leakage location can protect equipment in other locations from damage, but the train will stop running due to insufficient power. In contrast, the method of this application allows for timely battery power supply to other locations besides the leakage point after the leakage point is cut off, ensuring uninterrupted train operation and facilitating train operation.

[0032] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] Currently, when electrical energy is transmitted through power transmission lines, leakage may occur due to aging of the lines or other reasons, which can damage electrical equipment during transmission. To ensure equipment safety, leakage protection devices can disconnect the leaking part, protecting other equipment from damage. However, disconnecting the leaking part will cause the train to stop, resulting in inconvenience to train operations.

[0035] Based on this, this application proposes a method, device, equipment, and storage medium for train leakage current recovery, which can identify the leakage node and supply power to nodes other than the leakage node in a timely manner through a battery module, ensuring uninterrupted train operation and providing convenience for train operation.

[0036] The train leakage current restoration method provided in this application can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The train leakage current recovery system shown is illustrated. (Reference) Figure 1 The train leakage current recovery system may include a signal module 10, a vehicle controller 20, a battery manager 30, and a battery module 40.

[0037] The signal module 10 can be installed in a carriage of the train and connected to the driver controllers of the first and last cars via hardwired connections. This allows the signal system 10 to collect hardwired signals emitted by the driver controllers, which can then drive the battery into power supply mode. Furthermore, the signal module 10 can send and receive network signals, enabling signal interaction with the vehicle controller 20 or other devices.

[0038] The vehicle controller 20 can be installed in one of the train's carriages and connected to the driver controllers of the first and last cars via hardwired connections. This allows the vehicle controller 20 to collect hardwired signals from the driver controllers, which can then drive the battery into power supply mode. Furthermore, the vehicle controller 20 can also send and receive network signals, enabling signal interaction with other devices.

[0039] The battery manager 30 can be installed inside the train car to detect leakage and determine the specific location of the leakage (i.e., the leakage point). For example, the battery manager 40 can be a BMS (Battery Management System).

[0040] The battery module 40 can be installed at the bottom of the train car to provide power for the train's operation, allowing the train to continue running without interruption even in the event of a power leakage. For example, the battery module 40 can be a storage battery. It should be noted that the battery module 40 can serve as either the primary power source or an auxiliary power source for driving the train.

[0041] It should be noted that the devices mentioned above can be connected via a wired connection, allowing them to communicate directly through wired signals. Alternatively, they can be connected wirelessly, enabling them to communicate via network signals. These network signals can be, but are not limited to, battery-driven network signals or battery discharge permission network signals.

[0042] refer to Figure 2 The system may also include a driver controller 50, a traction inverter 60, and other high-voltage electrical appliances 70. Figure 2 The system provided for the embodiments of this application (i.e. Figure 1 The diagram shows the interaction between various devices in the train leakage current recovery system.

[0043] The driver controller 50 can be installed on the control panel in the train driver's cab to control the train's forward, reverse, or turn movements. For example, the driver controller 50 can be a head car driver controller or a tail car driver controller. Specifically, the driver controller 50 can have a power supply mode knob and two control handles (e.g., a control handle and a reversing handle). The power supply mode knob can change the power supply method by rotating its position; for example, when the knob is rotated to the OFF position, it indicates that the train is currently powered by the mains grid; when the knob is rotated to the ON position, it indicates that the train is currently powered by the battery. The control handles can control the train by moving them to different digital positions. For example, the control handle controls the train's speed; for example, the digital positions for train speed can be 0 or 1. The reversing handle controls the train's direction; for example, the digital positions for train direction can be forward, 0, or reverse.

[0044] It should be noted that when the power supply mode knob of the driver controller 50 is in the OFF position, it indicates that the current power supply method is grid power; when the power supply mode knob is in the ON position, it indicates that the current power supply method is battery (i.e., battery module) power. When battery power is supplied, the driver controller generates and sends a hard-wired signal, which can be a level signal. For example, the level signal can be a low-level signal 0 or a high-level signal 1. 0 indicates that the signal is invalid, and 1 indicates that the signal is valid. If the level signal is valid, battery power supply can be triggered.

[0045] The traction inverter 60 can be installed at the bottom of the train to convert the DC power provided by the battery module into AC power to drive the train, so that the train can be driven forward, backward or electrically braked under the traction force of the train motor.

[0046] Previous text Figure 2 This application describes the specific interaction process between various devices in the train leakage current recovery system. Another embodiment of this application provides a train leakage current recovery method, which can be applied to… Figure 1 or Figure 2 The train leakage current recovery system shown is an example. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 301: Perform leakage current detection on the train to identify the leakage point;

[0048] This application provides a leakage current detection scheme, which can detect and determine the specific location of the leakage (i.e., the leakage node) to subsequently determine whether to use a battery module for power supply (i.e., leakage current recovery). Therefore, leakage current detection can be performed on the train when it is powered on (i.e., the train is in operation) to restore power to the train in a timely manner.

[0049] Specifically, when the power grid is used for power supply, leakage current detection can be performed to identify the leakage point.

[0050] The specific process of leakage current detection includes: when the high-voltage positive terminal of the power grid is connected to the transmission line, it indicates that leakage current has occurred. For example, the aforementioned transmission line can be the line from the power grid to the train distribution box (i.e., the track side), or it can be the line from the train distribution box to the loads of each carriage of the train. For example, the loads can be various electrical devices in the train carriages.

[0051] A leakage node is used to characterize the specific location of a leakage. For example, the specific location of a leakage can be a leakage on the track side or a leakage on the train side. Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating track-side leakage and train-side leakage as provided in an embodiment of this application. See also... Figure 4 The power grid transmits electrical energy to the train's distribution box via transmission lines, and the train's distribution box then distributes the electrical energy to the loads in each train car, such as the electrical equipment used by passengers in the train car. The side from the power grid to the train's distribution box via transmission lines is the track side, and the side from the train's distribution box to the loads in each car is the train side.

[0052] One possible implementation is to perform leakage detection on the train when it is powered on (i.e., when the train is in operation) to determine whether leakage has occurred and the specific location of the leakage (i.e., the leakage node).

[0053] It should be noted that leakage current can be understood not only as current leakage caused by the aging of the insulation layer of power transmission lines, but also, specifically, track-side leakage current can be understood as any point on the transmission line between the power grid (i.e., the high-voltage positive terminal of the power grid) falling on the power grid and the train's distribution box. Train-side leakage current can be understood as any point on the transmission line between the train's distribution box and the train's load falling on the power grid (the high-voltage positive terminal of the power grid).

[0054] Step 302: If the leakage node is a track-side node, then disconnect the track-side node and control the battery module to enter the power supply state.

[0055] This application provides a leakage current protection and recovery scheme. It can provide power-off protection for leakage nodes to prevent damage to the devices at those nodes, and can restore power to devices other than the leakage node (i.e., enable battery module power). For example, the leakage can occur on the track side. When a track-side leakage occurs, the track side can be disconnected first, ensuring that other devices besides the leakage node are not damaged. Secondly, battery modules can be used to power normal nodes other than the leakage node (i.e., leakage current recovery).

[0056] Specifically, circuit breaking can be used to protect the track-side leakage node. For example, a leakage current device can be used to measure the residual current value in the track-side transmission line. If the residual current value reaches a certain value, it indicates that a track-side leakage has occurred. At this time, the power to the track side can be cut off to complete the leakage protection.

[0057] One possible implementation is that when the residual current device (RCD) detects that the residual current in the track-side transmission line reaches a certain value, it indicates a leakage on the track side. The leakage point can then be disconnected to prevent damage to its equipment. Furthermore, leakage current can be restored to other normal points (i.e., powered by battery modules), allowing the train to run without interruption and facilitating train operation.

[0058] Step 303: If the leakage node is a train-side node, then detect the collected voltage of the train, and control the battery module to enter the power supply state when the collected voltage is less than a preset threshold; the collected voltage is the track-side voltage collected by the train's traction inverter.

[0059] This application provides a leakage current protection and leakage current recovery scheme, which can collect the voltage on the train side after a leakage current occurs, and determine whether to perform leakage current recovery on the train side (i.e., use a battery module for power supply) based on the collected voltage.

[0060] Specifically, the collected voltage is the track-side voltage collected by the train's traction inverter. For example, the collected voltage can be the voltage on the train side after a leakage occurs. When the voltage value reaches a certain fixed value, it indicates that the train lacks driving power. At this time, the battery module can be used to provide power to the train and enable the train to run without interruption.

[0061] It should be noted that the traction inverter can be installed at the bottom of the train to convert the DC power provided by the battery module into AC power to drive the train, so that the train can move forward, backward or turn under the traction force of the train motor.

[0062] One possible implementation is that when the track-side voltage collected by the train's traction inverter is less than a certain preset threshold, for example, aV, where a can be any positive number, it indicates that the train cannot continue to run due to a lack of power. In this case, a battery module can be used to supply power to the train vehicle side, so that the train can run without interruption.

[0063] The train leakage current recovery method of this application can perform leakage current detection on the train when it is powered on (i.e., the train is in operation) to determine the specific location of the leakage (i.e., the leakage node), and then promptly supply power to normal nodes other than the leakage node through the battery module, ensuring uninterrupted train operation and providing convenience for train operation. Specifically, by performing leakage current detection on the train, the leakage node is determined; if the leakage node is a track-side node, the track-side node is disconnected, and the battery module is controlled to enter the power supply state; if the leakage node is a train-side node, the train's sampled voltage is detected, and the battery module is controlled to enter the power supply state when the sampled voltage is less than a preset threshold; the sampled voltage is the track-side voltage collected by the train's traction inverter. The above steps allow for leakage current detection on the train when it is powered on (i.e., the train is in operation), and based on the leakage current detection results, determine whether to use the battery module for power supply, thereby avoiding train downtime and providing convenience for train operation. Compared to existing technologies where simply disconnecting the leakage point when it is identified can protect the equipment at the leakage point from damage, but the train stops due to the power supply being cut off, this application can promptly use a battery module to power the train after disconnecting the leakage point, allowing the train to run without interruption and providing convenience for train operation.

[0064] The embodiments described above introduced a technical solution for whether to use a battery module for power supply when a leakage point is detected. Another embodiment of this application describes a specific scheme for determining a leakage point. For example, the specific implementation of the steps described above, "performing leakage detection on the train and determining the leakage point," includes... Figure 5 Steps:

[0065] Step 501: Instruct the battery manager to perform leakage detection;

[0066] This application provides a leakage current detection scheme, in which the battery manager can perform leakage current detection to subsequently determine the specific leakage point.

[0067] Specifically, the battery manager is used to manage the battery. For example, battery management can include monitoring the battery's voltage, temperature, or charge level; calculating SOC (State of Charge) and SOH (State of Health). Understandably, the battery manager can also perform leakage current detection.

[0068] One possible implementation is to perform leakage current detection on the train when it is powered on (i.e., when the train is in operation).

[0069] Step 502: Receive an alarm signal sent by the battery manager; the alarm signal is used to indicate the leakage node detected by the battery manager;

[0070] This application provides an alarm signal receiving scheme. When the battery manager detects a specific leakage point, it can send an alarm signal with the leakage point to the signal module or the vehicle controller so that the subsequent signal system or the vehicle controller can receive the alarm signal and thus determine the specific leakage point.

[0071] Specifically, the alarm signal includes the leakage node detected by the battery manager, that is, the signal that can be used to indicate the specific leakage node. For example, it can be a voice signal or a text signal. The specific form of the above signal is not limited in this embodiment.

[0072] One possible implementation is that the signal module or vehicle controller can receive an alarm signal sent by the battery manager that contains information about a specific leakage point. For example, the alarm signal can be an audio signal or a text signal.

[0073] Step 503: Determine the leakage node based on the alarm signal.

[0074] This application provides a scheme for determining a specific leakage node. When the battery manager receives an alarm message containing a leakage node, it can determine the specific node where the leakage occurred (i.e., the leakage node) based on the alarm message, so that the battery module can subsequently use battery power (i.e., leakage recovery) for the specific leakage node, so that the train can run without interruption.

[0075] Specifically, the alarm signal can be parsed so that the battery manager can pinpoint the specific point where the leakage occurred, i.e., the specific leakage point. For example, the specific leakage point can be on the track side or on the train side.

[0076] One possible implementation is that the battery manager can parse the received alarm information, and the specific node where leakage occurred can be on the track side or the train side.

[0077] The embodiments described above introduced a technical solution for determining leakage points. Another embodiment of this application describes how to perform leakage recovery (i.e., battery power supply) using a battery module. For example, the specific implementation of "controlling the battery module to enter the power supply state" involved in the preceding steps includes:

[0078] The network signal of the battery module is generated and sent to the vehicle controller, which instructs the vehicle controller to drive the battery module through the battery manager and traction inverter.

[0079] This application provides a network signal generation scheme. After detecting a specific leakage node, leakage can be restored by using a battery module. That is, the battery module is used for power supply so that the train can run without interruption after a leakage occurs.

[0080] Specifically, the network signal of the battery module can be a signal that drives the battery module to provide power. For example, this signal could be a battery-driven network signal. The traction inverter can collect the voltage on the track side when track-side leakage occurs. Based on this voltage (i.e., the collected voltage), it can determine whether to use the battery module to provide power for train operation, allowing the train to run without interruption. Additionally, the traction inverter can be installed at the bottom of the train to convert the DC power provided by the battery module into AC power to drive the train, enabling the train to move forward, backward, or brake electrically under the traction force of the train's electric motor.

[0081] One possible implementation is that when the signal module or vehicle controller receives an alarm signal, the alarm signal can cause the signal module or vehicle controller to generate a network signal, such as a battery-driven network signal. The signal module can send the network signal to the battery manager through the vehicle controller. The battery manager contains a contactor, which can be understood as a control switch. When the battery manager receives the network signal, the network signal can trigger the contactor to close, i.e., the switch closes, causing the battery manager to send a network signal, such as a discharge-allowing network signal, thereby driving high-voltage electrical appliances such as the traction inverter to enter normal operating conditions. For example, after the traction inverter enters the high-voltage power-on state, it can enter the normal operating state.

[0082] The embodiments described above introduced a technical solution for leakage current recovery (i.e., battery power supply) of the train. Another embodiment of this application describes how to perform leakage current recovery (i.e., battery power supply) using a battery module. For example, the specific implementation of "controlling the battery module to enter the power supply state" mentioned above includes:

[0083] Generate network signals for the battery module, send the network signals to the battery manager and traction inverter, and instruct the battery manager and traction inverter to drive the battery module.

[0084] This application provides a network signal generation scheme. After detecting a specific leakage node, leakage can be restored by using a battery module. That is, the battery module is used for power supply so that the train can run without interruption after a leakage occurs.

[0085] Specifically, the network signal of the battery module can be a signal that drives the battery module to provide power. For example, this signal could be a battery-driven network signal. The traction inverter can collect the voltage on the track side when track-side leakage occurs. Based on this voltage (i.e., the collected voltage), it can determine whether to use the battery module to provide power for the train, allowing the train to run without interruption. Additionally, the traction inverter can be installed at the bottom of the train to convert the DC power provided by the battery module into AC power to drive the train, enabling the train to move forward, backward, or turn under the traction force of the train's electric motor.

[0086] One possible implementation is that the signal module or vehicle controller can generate network signals, such as battery-driven network signals. The signal module can send these network signals to the battery manager through the vehicle controller. The battery manager contains contactors, which can be understood as control switches. When the battery manager receives a network signal, the network signal can trigger the contactor to close, i.e., the switch closes, causing the battery manager to send network signals, such as a discharge-allowing network signal, thereby driving high-voltage electrical appliances such as traction inverters into normal operating conditions. For example, after the traction inverter enters the high-voltage power-on state, it can enter the normal operating state.

[0087] The embodiments described above introduced a technical solution for leakage current recovery (i.e., battery power supply) using a battery module. In another embodiment of this application, a method for determining whether to use a battery module for power supply is described when the leakage point is on the train side. For example, the specific implementation of the step described above, "detecting the train's acquisition voltage and controlling the battery module to enter the power supply state when the acquisition voltage is less than a preset threshold," includes... Figure 6 Steps:

[0088] Step 601: Obtain the collected voltage of N traction inverters; the ratio of N to the total number of traction inverters in the train is a preset ratio.

[0089] This application provides a voltage acquisition scheme. When the leakage node is on the train side, the traction inverter can collect a certain proportion (i.e., a preset threshold) of the track side voltage (i.e., the collected voltage) to determine whether the power grid can supply power to the train to run normally when leakage occurs, so as to determine whether to use battery modules for power supply.

[0090] Specifically, N represents the number of voltage samples collected by the traction inverters; for example, the number of voltage samples can be 4. The total number of traction inverters on the train can be M; for example, M can be 20. The preset ratio represents the ratio of the number of traction inverters collecting voltage samples to the total number of traction inverters; for example, the ratio can be 3 / 5 (i.e., 60%). It should be noted that by collecting the voltage of the traction inverters at the preset ratio, it can be determined whether the power grid supply is insufficient in the event of a leakage, i.e., whether the power grid supply can keep the train running without interruption.

[0091] One possible implementation is that, when the leakage point is on the train side, a certain proportion (i.e., a preset ratio) of the carriage traction inverters can be selected to collect the track-side voltage (i.e., the collected voltage). Based on the track-side voltage, it can be determined whether a battery module is needed for power supply. For example, the track-side voltage can be, but is not limited to, 100V to 499V.

[0092] Step 602: If the collected voltages of all N traction inverters are less than the preset threshold, then control the battery module to enter the power supply state.

[0093] This application provides a voltage comparison scheme. When the leakage node is on the train side, a certain proportion (i.e., a preset ratio) of traction inverters can collect the track side voltage (i.e., the collected voltage). Based on multiple track side voltage values, it is determined whether the power grid can supply electricity to the train to run normally when leakage occurs, so as to determine whether to use battery modules for power supply in the future.

[0094] Specifically, a preset threshold is used to characterize the minimum value of the track-side power supply voltage. For example, the minimum value of the track-side power supply voltage can be 500V, and the range of the track-side power supply voltage can be 500V to 900V. It should be noted that when the leakage point is on the train side, it can be determined whether multiple track-side voltage values ​​collected by the traction inverter are all less than the minimum value of the track-side grid power supply voltage. If so, it indicates that the grid power supply is insufficient, which may cause the train to stop running. To avoid train interruption, battery module power can be used to ensure that the train can run without interruption.

[0095] One possible implementation is that multiple collected voltage values ​​can be 100V, 200V, 300V, and 400V, so that the trackside power supply voltage (i.e., the preset threshold) for the train to operate normally is 500V. Since multiple collected voltage values ​​are all less than the preset threshold, it indicates that the power grid supply cannot enable the train to operate normally. At this time, a battery module can be used to supply power to ensure that the train does not run interrupted.

[0096] The embodiments described above introduce a technical solution for determining whether to use a battery module for power supply when the leakage point is on the train side. In another embodiment of this application, it is described how to determine whether to drive the battery module into a power supply state based on the state of a hard-wired signal. For example, after the step of "detecting leakage on the train and determining the leakage point" mentioned above, it further includes:

[0097] When the hard-wired signal indicates that the battery module is in a driving state, the battery module is controlled to enter the power supply state.

[0098] This application provides a scheme for driving a battery module into a power supply state. The state of a hard-wired signal can be used to determine whether to drive the battery module into a power supply state, so that power can be supplied subsequently through the battery module. For example, the battery module can be driven to supply power when the hard-wired signal is valid (i.e., power is supplied through the battery module, not through the mains).

[0099] Specifically, if the hard-wired signal acquired by the signal module or the vehicle controller is valid, for example, if the hard-wired signal is a high-level signal 1, it means that the battery module can be powered. In this case, the hard-wired signal indicates that the battery module is in a driving state, and the hard-wired signal can control the battery module to supply power.

[0100] One possible implementation is to obtain the hard-wire signal through the driver controller. If the hard-wire signal is a high-level signal 1, it indicates that the train can be powered by the battery module instead of the power grid. In this case, the hard-wire signal indicates that the battery module is in a driving state, and the hard-wire signal can control the battery module to supply power.

[0101] The embodiments described above illustrate a technical solution for determining whether to drive the battery module into a power supply state based on the state of a hard-wired signal. In another embodiment of this application, a complete flowchart of the train leakage current recovery method is presented.
