Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power distribution automation technology, and in particular to a terminal waveform alignment method based on zero-voltage abrupt change points. Background Technology

[0002] Single-phase grounding faults are one of the most common fault types in distribution networks, and also one of the most difficult to diagnose. Currently, distribution terminals collect electrical quantity information such as zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current on-site, and comprehensively use algorithms such as the first half-wave method, the group amplitude and phase comparison method, or the phase current mutation method to diagnose single-phase grounding faults. However, due to limitations such as insufficient information collected by a single terminal and weak characteristics of high-resistance grounding faults, the accuracy of the diagnosis is low, and false alarms and missed faults frequently occur.

[0003] To improve the accuracy of single-phase grounding fault detection, some existing methods utilize a data collection unit on the main station side or substation side to gather electrical quantity information from all in-station and out-of-station distribution terminals under the same busbar and substation. A centralized detection algorithm is then used to detect single-phase grounding faults, replacing the previous method of on-site detection at the distribution terminals. This has yielded initial success. However, the alignment accuracy of the waveforms collected by each distribution terminal significantly affects the accuracy of the centralized detection algorithm. Existing algorithms require high alignment accuracy for the waveforms from each terminal; poor alignment can negatively impact the algorithm's effectiveness. This results in distribution terminals with insufficient synchronous acquisition accuracy being unable to participate in centralized detection, especially the large number of existing distribution terminals in the field. If existing distribution terminals are to participate in centralized detection, additional hardware modules and software algorithm updates are required, incurring extremely high costs. This limits the centralized detection technology for single-phase grounding faults to pilot applications and prevents large-scale deployment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a terminal waveform alignment method based on zero-voltage abrupt change points. Addressing the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies, this method can be developed into a corresponding software algorithm module and deployed on the main station side or the substation side aggregation unit without modifying the distribution terminal. This enables synchronous alignment of electrical quantity waveforms collected by all in-station and out-of-station distribution terminals under the same substation and the same busbar, thereby indirectly achieving synchronous acquisition.

[0005] In the scenario addressed by the method described in this invention, after a single-phase ground fault occurs on the line, the collection unit on the main station side or the substation side begins to collect electrical quantity waveforms collected by the power distribution terminals inside and outside the substation. At this time, the waveforms are easily affected by the internal clock error of the terminals, and the sampling time of each terminal may deviate from the actual time. It is impossible to synchronously collect the waveforms of each terminal based on a unified sampling time, which affects the accuracy of the centralized judgment algorithm for single-phase ground faults. Therefore, it is necessary to align the electrical quantity waveforms collected by each terminal to indirectly achieve synchronous collection.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0007] A terminal waveform alignment method based on zero-voltage abrupt change points includes the following steps:

[0008] Step S1: Waveform denoising, removing high-frequency noise from the zero-sequence voltage waveform;

[0009] Step S2: Calculate the effective value of the zero-sequence voltage waveform within one cycle for two adjacent groups, and calculate the absolute value of the difference between them. If the absolute value is lower than the set threshold, the calculation window moves forward by one cycle and re-enters step S2. If the absolute value is higher than the set threshold, proceed to step S3.

[0010] Step S3: Selection of zero-voltage abrupt change point. Find the extreme point in the waveform range with large effective value. This point is the zero-voltage abrupt change point.

[0011] Step S4: Terminal waveform alignment. The waveforms collected by each terminal are aligned by waveform translation to make the abrupt change points of their respective zero-sequence voltage waveforms aligned, thereby achieving terminal waveform alignment.

[0012] In step S1, noise in the zero-sequence voltage waveform signal is filtered out using Fourier transform or wavelet transform methods to obtain the noise-removed signal, thus avoiding the noise signal from affecting subsequent processing.

[0013] When the wavelet transform method is used in step S1, the specific steps include:

[0014] Step S1-1: Parameter selection; Select an appropriate wavelet basis and number of decomposition layers.

[0015] Step S1-2: Waveform decomposition; Wavelet transform is used to process the original waveform and decompose it into multiple frequency band signals.

[0016] Step S1-3: Denoising; Denoising is performed on the wavelet coefficients of each frequency band signal to reduce the impact of noise on the signal.

[0017] Step S1-4: Waveform reconstruction; The waveform is reconstructed using a waveform reconstruction algorithm to obtain the waveform after noise removal.

[0018] In step S2, the effective value of the waveform for an adjacent cycle is calculated using the waveform effective value calculation formula, and the absolute value of the difference between the two is obtained.

[0019] In step S2, if the terminal waveform is affected by the operating conditions of the equipment, the on-site environment, and the aging of the equipment, making it a non-sinusoidal voltage waveform, then the effective value of the terminal waveform is set to the square root of the sum of the squares of its DC component, fundamental wave, and each higher harmonic.

[0020] In step S2, the formula for calculating the effective value of the sinusoidal voltage waveform is as follows:

[0021] Then we have:

[0022]

[0023] In the formula, T is the waveform period, u n u nm and U n These represent the instantaneous, peak, and effective values ​​of the voltage waveform, respectively; R is the resistance value; and w is the angular velocity.

[0024] In step S2, the formula for calculating the effective value of the non-sinusoidal voltage waveform is as follows:

[0025]

[0026] In the formula, U is the effective value of the non-sinusoidal voltage waveform, and U0, U1 and U2 are the values ​​of the voltage waveform. k These represent the effective values ​​of the DC component, the fundamental frequency, and each higher harmonic, respectively.

[0027] In step S3, the extreme point is found in the waveform range with a large effective value by using mathematical induction or search algorithm. The extreme point found is the zero-voltage change point.

[0028] When it is not permissible to modify the distribution terminal, the terminal waveform alignment method based on the zero-voltage abrupt change point is deployed as a software algorithm module on the main station side or the substation side aggregation unit. It is used to synchronously align the electrical quantity waveforms collected by all in-station and out-of-station distribution terminals under the same substation and the same busbar, so as to indirectly achieve synchronous acquisition.

[0029] When the terminal waveform alignment method based on zero-voltage mutation point verifies the waveform alignment accuracy of the electrical quantity waveform used for centralized judgment algorithm, a judgment warning is issued when the waveform alignment accuracy is poor.

[0030] When verifying the waveform alignment accuracy of electrical quantity waveforms used in centralized judgment algorithm using the terminal waveform alignment method based on zero-voltage abrupt change point, waveform alignment is performed when the waveform alignment accuracy is poor. The aligned terminal waveform data continues to participate in the centralized judgment of single-phase grounding faults to improve the reliability of the centralized judgment algorithm.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] (1) Terminal waveform alignment. The terminal waveform alignment method based on zero-voltage change point proposed in this invention can be programmed into a corresponding software algorithm module and deployed on the main station side or the substation side aggregation unit without modifying the distribution terminal. This enables synchronous alignment of electrical quantity waveforms collected by all in-station and out-of-station distribution terminals under the same substation and the same bus, thereby indirectly achieving synchronous acquisition. The modification cost is small and the method is highly scalable.

[0033] (2) Waveform alignment verification. For each distribution terminal device participating in centralized analysis, the terminal waveform alignment method based on zero-voltage sudden change point proposed in this invention can verify the waveform alignment accuracy of electrical quantity waveforms used in centralized analysis algorithm. When the waveform alignment accuracy is poor, an analysis warning is issued and waveform alignment is performed at the same time. The aligned terminal waveform data can still participate in the centralized analysis of single-phase grounding faults, thereby improving the reliability of centralized analysis algorithm.
