At high altitudes, the unique geographical and meteorological conditions, such as low relative humidity, low air pressure, low oxygen partial pressure, and frequent meteorological disasters, lead to significant differences in the long-gap discharge process compared to plains. Long-gap discharge phenomena are particularly common in environments with high electric field strength, such as those associated with high-voltage transmission lines. In-depth research into the characteristics of long-gap discharges at high altitudes is crucial for ensuring the stable operation of power systems, improving the safety of space facilities, and refining relevant physical and chemical theories.
[0003] However, current observation techniques for typical long air-gap discharges at high altitudes suffer from numerous shortcomings. Existing technologies lack efficient integrated optoelectronic observation modes, making it difficult to accurately and synchronously collect electrical data such as voltage and current with microscopic discharge image data. Furthermore, the lack of effective automated methods for image recognition and extraction of discharge channels results in low observation efficiency and an inability to quickly filter out valid data. This not only consumes significant manpower and time, but also makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy and integrity of research data, severely hindering our in-depth understanding of high-altitude long-gap discharge phenomena and the further development of related technologies.

[0060] In order to make the purposes, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0061] An embodiment of the present invention provides a photoelectric synchronous data acquisition system for typical long air gap discharge at high altitude, comprising: an image acquisition module, a voltage and current sensor module, and a control module.
[0062] The image acquisition module includes a camera device and a light reduction device; the camera device is arranged around the sample and is used to capture images of the discharge channel of the sample at different angles; the light reduction device is set on the camera device and is used to adjust the shooting parameters of the camera device according to the ambient light intensity to ensure that the images captured by the camera device meet the clarity requirements.
[0063] It should be noted that the cameras are positioned around the specimen to capture images of the discharge channel from different angles. Since the discharge process can occur in different directions, multi-angle capture comprehensively records optical information such as the discharge channel's morphology and development process, avoiding blind spots and providing complete image data for subsequent analysis of the discharge mechanism.
[0064] A dimming device is installed on the camera, primarily used to adjust the camera's shooting parameters based on ambient light intensity. At high altitudes, strong light may be present, such as intense sunlight or the strong light generated by the discharge itself. By adjusting shooting parameters such as aperture size, shutter speed, and sensitivity, the dimming device ensures that images captured by the camera meet clear requirements, preventing overexposure and loss of detail, and ensuring high-quality images of the discharge channel.
[0065] The voltage and current sensor module is used to obtain the voltage information of the voltage source and the voltage and current information of the test product.
[0066] It should be noted that the voltage and current sensor modules are used to obtain voltage information from the voltage source and the voltage and current information of the test specimen. During the discharge process, accurately understanding the voltage generation and the voltage and current changes across the test specimen is crucial for analyzing discharge characteristics. By placing voltage sensors at different locations (such as at the impulse voltage generator and the test specimen), a comprehensive understanding of voltage transmission and distribution can be achieved. Current sensors measure the current waveform at the test specimen, reflecting parameters such as current magnitude and rate of change during the discharge process. Combining this electrical data with image data allows for in-depth analysis of the electrical characteristics of the discharge process.
[0067] The control module is used to trigger the shooting instructions of the image acquisition module according to the voltage information of the voltage generation source; it is also used to collect the voltage and current information of the test sample and the discharge channel image, and judge and calculate the leader development speed when the gap is broken down based on the collected information and the discharge channel image.
[0068] It should be noted that, on the one hand, the control module is used to trigger the image acquisition module's capture instructions based on the voltage information from the voltage source. This ensures that during the discharge process, when the voltage reaches a certain condition (the voltage threshold associated with the onset of discharge), the camera device can promptly begin recording, achieving synchronization between the recording of electrical and optical phenomena. This ensures that the corresponding discharge channel image can be captured simultaneously with the voltage change initiating the discharge. On the other hand, the control module is also used to collect the test sample's voltage and current information and discharge channel image, and based on this collected information and discharge channel image, determine and calculate the leader growth speed during gap breakdown. By comprehensively analyzing the various collected data, key parameters such as whether the gap has broken down, the current at breakdown, the voltage peak, and the leader growth speed can be extracted, providing an important basis for a deeper understanding of the discharge process and evaluating the performance of related equipment.
[0069] This embodiment provides a photoelectric synchronous data acquisition system for typical high-altitude long air-gap discharges. By triggering the image acquisition module's capture instructions based on voltage information, a control module synchronizes electrical data acquisition with optical image acquisition during discharge, ensuring efficient and accurate photoelectric synchronous data acquisition. Furthermore, after acquiring images of the discharge channel, the control module in this embodiment automatically performs judgments and calculations based on the acquired information. For example, valid images are selected through image processing (e.g., capturing images for specific time periods, noise reduction, and grayscale value extraction). Key parameters such as leader growth rate are further calculated, improving observation efficiency and enabling rapid screening of valid data and automatic extraction of key parameters.
[0070] In one embodiment, the camera device includes: a plurality of cameras; the cameras are evenly distributed around the sample, and the viewing angles of adjacent cameras have overlapping parts; the cameras are connected through a synchronization controller, and each camera is provided with a light reduction device.
[0071] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The following figure shows a design for a typical high-altitude, long-air-gap discharge optoelectronic synchronous data acquisition system. High-speed camera array A consists of three high-speed cameras (the number of high-speed cameras can be determined based on the layout plan; the figure only shows three).
[0072] It should be noted that due to the characteristics of high-altitude environments, high-speed cameras with high frame rates (e.g., 10,000 to 500,000 fps), high sensitivity, and low noise are recommended. These cameras should be equipped with a global shutter to reduce motion blur and include built-in ND filter adjustment capabilities. Each camera should have a unique IP address for easy network connection management. A SyncBee synchronization controller, receiving an external 10MHz reference frequency and 1PPS pulse signals via an optical fiber interface, ensures that the slightest timing difference between all cameras does not exceed ±1ns.
[0073] Choose an adjustable neutral density filter or electronic shutter for the light reduction device, ensuring that the amount of light entering can be quickly adjusted according to light intensity, while also taking into account the UV resistance of the filter. The light reduction device is equipped with a sensor that monitors the current light intake and ambient light conditions in real time. It automatically adjusts the light intake based on external light conditions to maintain a constant light level, reducing the impact of external light changes on observation results.
[0074] The intelligent tunable optical filter primarily consists of a filter body, a photosensor, a micromotor, a control circuit, and an algorithm. The integrated photosensor senses ambient light intensity, combined with the discharge event intensity acquired by a discharge event detection module (such as a high-speed camera or dedicated sensor) and the observation requirements set by the user via remote control. The control circuit and algorithm control the rotation of the micromotor, thereby changing the filter's light-transmitting area and achieving precise adjustment of the amount of light entering.
[0075] First, a high-transmittance, high-stability material is selected as the filter substrate. Transparent and light-blocking areas are designed on the filter, and patterns of varying transmittance are formed on the filter surface through mechanical or chemical methods (such as photolithography and etching). Micromotors and transmission mechanisms are installed on one or both sides of the filter to adjust the position and size of the filter's transparent areas.
[0076] Select photosensors with high sensitivity and a wide spectral response range, such as photoresistors and photodiodes, to sense ambient light intensity in real time. Integrate a discharge event detection module, such as a high-speed camera or specialized sensor, to measure parameters such as the intensity and location of the discharge event. The output signals from the photosensor and discharge event detection module are connected to the control circuit to serve as the basis for adjusting the filter transmittance.
[0077] Design a control circuit, including signal amplification, filtering, and analog-to-digital conversion, to convert the output signals from the photosensor and discharge event detection module into digital signals for subsequent algorithm processing. Develop an intelligent algorithm to calculate and output control signals based on ambient light intensity, discharge event intensity, and user-defined observation requirements to control the rotation of the micromotor. The algorithm should be able to adjust the control signal in real time to adapt to changes in ambient light and discharge event intensity while meeting user-defined observation requirements.
[0078] In further embodiments, the light reduction measure of the light reduction device comprises adjusting the exposure time.
[0079] When adjusting the exposure time, the ideal exposure time is calculated using the following formula:
[0080]
[0081] wherein, is the ideal exposure time to ensure that the image is not overexposed; is the maximum intensity of light that the image sensor can handle (to avoid overexposure); is the intensity of the current ambient light (the intensity of the light); is the exposure time (shutter speed).
[0082] If I current > I max , the exposure time will be shortened to avoid overexposure.
[0083] In further embodiments, the light reduction measure of the light reduction device further comprises adjustment of the aperture and ISO.
[0084] When considering the adjustment of the aperture and ISO, the overall exposure can be represented as:
[0085]
[0086] wherein, is the aperture size, is the ISO, is the intensity of the light currently processed by the image sensor
[0087] To avoid overexposure, it is required that under the current light intensity: According to the above formula, by dynamically adjusting t, f and ISO, it can be ensured that the captured image will not be overexposed.
[0088] The intelligent adjustment process is to obtain the current light intensity, calculate the ideal exposure time according to the formula, adjust the aperture and ISO, ensure that the total exposure value is within a reasonable range, dynamically adjust t, f and ISO according to the shooting requirements, and always ensure that I sensor ≤ I max .
[0089] A high-precision, low-noise micro motor, such as a stepper motor or a DC motor, is selected to drive the light transmission area on the filter to move. A transmission mechanism, such as a gear or a slide rail, is designed to convert the rotary motion of the micro motor into linear motion or rotary motion of the light transmission area of the filter. The transmission mechanism is designed to have sufficient precision and stability to ensure that the position and size of the light transmission area of the filter can be accurately adjusted.
[0090] The filter body, photosensor, discharge event detection module, control circuit, and micro-motor are integrated together to form a complete intelligent tunable optical filter system. The system is fully tested, including functional testing, performance testing, and stability testing, to ensure that the system can work properly and meet design requirements.
[0091] A remote control module is designed to allow users to adjust the filter transmittance in real time via a remote terminal (such as a mobile phone or computer). A user-friendly interface is provided to facilitate users to set observation requirements, view system status, and receive alarm information.
[0092] By combining multiple high-speed cameras at different angles, full coverage of the microscopic discharge process can be achieved. The traditional single-machine arrangement is to use one high-speed camera to shoot the microscopic discharge process. If the corona initiation point is on the back of the specimen, effective shooting cannot be performed. By adding a high-speed camera on the other side and shooting the corona initiation point of the specimen orthogonally, it is possible to shoot the corona initiation point in the top gap of the electrode, such as the rod plate or ball plate. In order to address the problem that the side of the specimen cannot be covered in the previous two designs, in one embodiment, the number of cameras is at least 3.
[0093] When the number of cameras is 3, the three high-speed cameras are installed with the test piece as the center and at the same distance from the test piece. At the same time, the optimal focal length of the high-speed camera is set according to the target observation area. The angle between each high-speed camera and the test piece is 120° to ensure that the discharge process is captured in all directions.
[0094] When the number of cameras is 4 or more, high-speed cameras need to be installed in four horizontal directions to shoot the ring plate, ring combination gap, double ring combination gap, etc. Their vignetting points may be anywhere between the horizontal tangent point and the vertical tangent point below the ring.
[0095] First, a terrain model is created and four unevenly distributed points are designed as camera positions to ensure full coverage of the discharge area. The camera angles are adjusted according to the actual terrain to ensure that adjacent camera angles have at least 20% overlap. This allows the full picture of the discharge phenomenon to be captured in high-altitude areas with complex terrain, facilitating later image fusion. Based on the above design concepts, four layout strategies for the high-speed camera array are proposed in this embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown in the figure. Layout Strategy 1 is a classic four-corner layout, the most common camera network layout currently used for motion capture and collision event recording. Layout Strategy 2 adds two cameras to the four-corner layout. This enhanced layout aims to improve monitoring redundancy and accuracy. Four of the cameras in this layout are arranged in a four-corner layout, with the other two cameras positioned at the center of the four-corner layout with perpendicular viewing angles. Alternatively, four of the cameras are arranged in a four-corner layout with an angled arrangement, with the other two cameras positioned at the center of the four-corner layout with perpendicular viewing angles. Layout Strategy 3 optimizes Strategy 2 by tilting the four peripheral cameras at a certain angle. This innovative design fully utilizes the camera's viewing angle characteristics, providing wider coverage of the entire monitoring area and reducing blind spots. This arrangement increases the overlap of the camera network's viewing angles, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of event reconstruction. Deployment Strategy 4, a further improvement on Strategy 3, aims to maximize the camera network's coverage. This strategy employs seven cameras, six of which are positioned around the specimen. Two of these cameras are symmetrically arranged along one diagonal line at each corner, and four are symmetrically arranged along the other diagonal line. The remaining camera is located at the center of the remaining six cameras' field of view. This strategy not only ensures that all four corners of the aluminum alloy plate (or monitoring area) are within the field of view of at least two cameras, but also significantly increases the monitoring density in these critical areas. This improvement effectively addresses the four-corner monitoring blind spots common in the other three deployment methods, particularly the limited field of view that hinders monitoring accuracy in the traditional four-corner deployment. Strategy 4 achieves more comprehensive and accurate coverage of the monitoring area, providing strong support for capturing and analyzing dynamic events. To account for the effects of high-altitude winds, the camera bracket is constructed of high-strength aluminum alloy, with a heavy-duty base at the bottom and a streamlined wind shield at the top to reduce drag. The bracket is reinforced with ground anchors.
[0096] The camera array is installed in the designated location and initially debugged, including adjusting camera parameters such as white balance, exposure time, and shutter speed. Connect the synchronization control module and calibrate the timing of each camera using GPS or fiber optic synchronization technology to ensure that the timing error between cameras during shooting is within nanoseconds. Due to the high intensity of solar radiation and more intense lighting conditions at high altitudes, a 48-hour continuous stable operation test is required under actual shooting conditions to check image quality, synchronization, and light reduction. Based on the test results, further adjustments are made to the camera parameters and layout until they meet the requirements.
[0097] In one embodiment, the control module includes: a data acquisition module, a data storage module, a data analysis module and a remote transmission module;
[0098] The data acquisition module includes an optical acquisition channel, a voltage acquisition channel and a current acquisition channel; the optical acquisition channel is connected to the image acquisition module for acquiring images of the discharge channel; the voltage acquisition channel and the current acquisition channel are respectively connected to the voltage sensor and the current sensor in the voltage and current sensor module for acquiring voltage information and current information respectively; the data storage module is used to store various types of information collected; the data analysis module is used to determine whether a pressure test occurs based on the voltage information of the source of the collected voltage generation, and if so, trigger the shooting instruction of the image acquisition module; it is also used to determine whether the gap is broken down based on the current information; it is also used to calculate the leader development speed when the gap breaks down using the collected discharge channel image; the remote transmission module is used to realize data transmission between the control module and the remote server.
[0099] Please refer again Figure 1 , the control module can adopt an industrial control computer D, and the data acquisition module E, data storage module I, data analysis module J and remote transmission module K are integrated in the industrial control computer. The data acquisition module E has three acquisition channels, which are based on the trigger voltage of the voltage acquisition channel for acquisition. The data storage module I adopts a high-speed acquisition card for storage, and the maximum acquisition speed should be able to reach 100MB / s. The data analysis module J is equipped with voltage, current and high-speed camera data processing software, which can process the photoelectric data, that is, first determine whether the test piece is broken down based on the voltage and current data, analyze the peak rise time and other parameters of the voltage and current waveforms and issue image processing instructions. In view of the high regional coverage of the 4G network, stable signal, and portable module installation, the remote transmission module K of the present invention preferably uses 4G communication to improve the adaptability of the observation system to the installation environment.
[0100] In a further embodiment, there are two sets of voltage sensors, one set installed at the impulse voltage generator and the other set installed at the test piece, respectively detecting the voltage waveform generated by the impulse voltage generator and the voltage waveform actually applied to the test piece; the current sensor is installed at the test piece to reduce measurement errors.
[0101] In a further embodiment, the image acquisition module also includes an optoelectronic isolation transmission module. This module ensures that measurement signals, such as current and electric field, are not interfered with during transmission, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of data acquisition. Compared to conventional optoelectronic isolators, this optoelectronic isolation transmission module is designed based on high-altitude enhanced optoelectronic isolation transmission technology. It utilizes higher-performance isolation components and a more optimized circuit design to ensure effective electrical isolation even in harsh high-altitude environments. This isolation capability effectively prevents interference and crosstalk between electrical signals, improving data transmission reliability. High-altitude enhanced optoelectronic isolation transmission technology utilizes UV-resistant optoelectronic components, such as UV-resistant lenses and sensors, to ensure continued operation under prolonged, high-intensity UV exposure. High-altitude enhanced optoelectronic isolation transmission technology optimizes the circuit transmission signal path, such as through improved power management and signal conditioning circuits, to reduce transmission losses and enhance signal integrity. The circuit design incorporates redundancy and fault-tolerance mechanisms to ensure continued operation even in the event of component failure, thereby improving overall system stability and reliability. High-altitude enhanced optoelectronic isolation transmission technology improves the electromagnetic compatibility of the system and reduces the impact of external electromagnetic interference on data transmission by optimizing circuit design and adopting advanced electromagnetic shielding technology.
[0102] The optoelectronic isolation transmission module includes an optoelectronic isolation module. A high-performance optocoupler or optoelectronic converter, such as the Texas Instruments ISO7840A, can be used. This optocoupler maintains stability over an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, ensuring complete isolation of electrical signals. The module's high and low temperature resistance is also considered to accommodate the wide temperature ranges found in high-altitude environments. The data transmission line utilizes shielded twisted-pair cable with a Teflon outer sheath and an embedded metal mesh shield to minimize signal attenuation and electromagnetic interference. A custom UDP protocol stack is designed with CRC checksum and retransmission mechanisms to enhance data transmission reliability and stability.
[0103] Manufacture the optoelectronic isolation module and data transmission lines according to the design drawings, rigorously screening and testing raw materials to ensure quality. Carefully control the temperature, humidity, and cleanliness of the production environment to prevent contamination and electrostatic interference. Install the optoelectronic isolation module between the camera array and the data transmission terminal, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. When laying data transmission lines, avoid running them parallel to high-voltage power lines or sources of electromagnetic interference. Choose a perpendicular or staggered arrangement to minimize electromagnetic coupling. Also, use shielded cables (such as shielded twisted pair or coaxial cables) to minimize interference.
[0104] The embodiment of the present application also provides a high-altitude typical long air gap discharge photoelectric synchronous data acquisition method, which is realized based on the high-altitude typical long air gap discharge photoelectric synchronous data acquisition system as in the foregoing embodiment. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps:
[0105] Step one: continuously acquire voltage information of a voltage source and voltage and current information of a test sample through a control module.
[0106] Before acquiring the voltage and current information, a light-reducing high-speed camera array and an enhanced photoelectric isolation system need to be arranged. Then, a voltage sensor and a current sensor respectively monitor voltage and current waveforms in the background.
[0107] Step two: if the voltage information of the voltage source exceeds a set voltage threshold, record and store the voltage and current information of the test sample, and issue a shooting instruction to an image acquisition module.
[0108] Determine whether the voltage of the voltage source is greater than a trigger threshold. If yes, trigger a high-speed camera recording instruction.
