Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cable local defect positioning, and relates to a cable defect positioning method based on frequency domain reflection-constant false alarm rate and a related device. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, power cables are gradually replacing overhead lines and becoming the backbone of urban power grids due to their advantages such as small footprint and high power supply reliability. In actual operation, cables may suffer from insulation defects due to moisture, aging, or external mechanical stress, leading to equipment damage, power outages and other safety accidents. Therefore, it is of great significance to quickly and accurately detect and locate cable defects.

[0003] At present, the most commonly used methods for cable status detection are partial discharge (PD) detection method, time domain reflectometry (TDR) detection method and frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) detection method. The PD method is the most common oscillation wave detection method, which has a good detection effect, but the detection objects are mainly cable accessories and cable installation defects, and it is difficult to detect latent defects in the cable body. The TDR method injects a pulse signal at the head end of the cable, and then directly identifies the reflected waveform in the time domain. This method can intuitively obtain the propagation distance and polarity of the reflected wave, but the incident signal has few high-frequency components, and its attenuation and dispersion phenomena are serious during the propagation process. The positioning accuracy is low, and it is difficult to identify weak defects. The FDR method uses a sweep frequency signal, which is mainly divided into the head end impedance spectrum (Broadband Impedance Spectrum, BIS) method and the reflection coefficient spectrum (Reflection Coefficient Spectrum, RCS) method. The characteristic parameters of the cable are obtained through Fourier transform, and the local defects of the cable are located with high sensitivity.

[0004] However, in the process of locating defects using the FDR method, when Fourier transforming the impedance spectrum, due to spectrum leakage and other reasons, "pseudo peaks" will be generated on the final positioning spectrum, thus affecting the positioning of the actual defect peak. At the same time, in actual testing, the signal attenuation of long cables is quite serious, and the influence of on-site noise is likely to further increase the difficulty of subjective judgment of defect peaks. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cable defect location method and related devices based on frequency domain reflection-constant false alarm rate, so as to solve the technical problem that when locating defects in the prior art, "pseudo peaks" are easily generated on the positioning spectrum, resulting in misjudgment of defect points.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] Calculating the impedance spectrum of the first end of the defective cable according to the distribution parameters of the defective cable, and performing discrete Fourier transform on the impedance spectrum of the first end to extract characteristic information of the impedance spectrum, so as to obtain a cable defect location spectrum;

[0009] The data in the cable defect location spectrum are calculated in one dimension using the mean-type CFAR algorithm. If the amplitude of a data point is greater than the threshold, it is judged as a defect point and retained; if the amplitude of a data point is less than or equal to the threshold, it is judged as a non-defective point and the data is set to zero, thereby completing the extraction and location of the defect point.

[0010] Further, the step of calculating the impedance spectrum of the head end of the defective cable according to the distribution parameters of the defective cable, and performing fast Fourier transform on the impedance spectrum of the head end to extract characteristic information of the impedance spectrum to obtain the cable defect location spectrum specifically includes:

[0026] Furthermore, the distributed parameters of the defective cable include distributed resistance R0 per unit length of the transmission line, distributed inductance L0 per unit length of the transmission line, distributed conductance G0 per unit length of the transmission line, and distributed capacitance C0 per unit length of the transmission line.

[0027] Furthermore, the calculation formula of the distributed resistance R0 per unit length of the transmission line is:

[0028]

[0029] Where μ0 is the vacuum magnetic permeability; r c is the cable core radius; r s is the inner radius of the metal shielding layer; ρ c is the cable core resistivity; ρ s is the resistivity of the metal shielding layer;

[0030] The calculation formula of the distributed inductance L0 per unit length of the transmission line is:

[0031]

[0032] The calculation formula of the distributed conductance G0 per unit length of the transmission line is:

[0033]

[0034] Where σ is the conductivity of the dielectric;

[0035] The calculation formula of the distributed capacitance C0 per unit length of the transmission line is:

[0036]

[0037] Where ε is the dielectric constant of the dielectric.

[0038] Furthermore, the mean-type CFAR algorithm includes a detection unit and 2n reference units; n reference units are arranged on both sides of the detection unit, and a protection unit is arranged between the detection unit and the reference unit; the CFAR algorithm calculates the mean Z through the data in the 2n reference units, thereby calculating the detection threshold T=αZ, where α is the threshold multiplication factor; if the amplitude of the detection unit is greater than the threshold T, it is determined that the target exists; otherwise, the target does not exist.

[0039] Furthermore, the step of performing one-dimensional calculation on the data in the cable defect location spectrum through the mean-type CFAR algorithm specifically includes: after determining the threshold coefficient α and the number of reference units n of the mean-type CFAR algorithm, keeping the false alarm probability unchanged, and then substituting the data in the cable defect location spectrum into the mean-type CFAR algorithm for one-dimensional calculation.

[0042] The defect location module is used to perform one-dimensional calculation on the data in the cable defect location spectrum through the mean-type CFAR algorithm. If the amplitude of the data point is greater than the threshold, it is judged as a defect point and retained; if the amplitude of the data point is less than or equal to the threshold, it is judged as a non-defective point and the data is set to zero, thereby completing the extraction and location of the defect point.

First, the impedance spectrum of the head end of the defective cable is calculated according to the distribution parameters of the defective cable, and then the impedance spectrum characteristic information is extracted by discrete Fourier transform to obtain the cable defect location spectrum. Finally, the adaptive threshold of CFAR is used to substitute the existing location spectrum data into the algorithm for one-dimensional calculation. If the amplitude of the data point is greater than the threshold, it is judged as a defect point and retained; otherwise, it is judged as a non-defective point and the data is set to zero, so as to extract the position of the actual defect point.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0063] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0064] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention discloses a cable defect location method based on frequency domain reflection-constant false alarm rate, comprising the following steps:

[0065] S1, calculating the impedance spectrum of the head end of the defective cable according to the distribution parameters of the defective cable, and performing discrete Fourier transform on the impedance spectrum of the head end to extract characteristic information of the impedance spectrum, so as to obtain a cable defect location spectrum;

[0066] Principle of cable head-end impedance spectrum positioning:

[0067] According to transmission line theory, when the cable is very long or the signal frequency is high, the cable's signal propagation characteristics need to be described by a distributed parameter model. In this case, the cable can be regarded as a cascade of infinitely many infinitely small distributed parameter element circuits, such as Figure 3 , R0, L0, G0, and C0 represent the distributed resistance, distributed inductance, distributed capacitance, and distributed conductance per unit length of the transmission line, respectively.

[0068] For the distributed parameters of the cable, R0, L0, G0, and C0 can be expressed as:

[0069]

[0070] Where, angular frequency ω = 2πf; r c and r s is the cable core radius and the inner radius of the metal shielding layer; ρ c and ρ s are the resistivity of the cable core and the metal shielding layer respectively; μ0 is the magnetic permeability of vacuum; ε and σ are the dielectric constant and conductivity of the dielectric respectively.

[0071] According to the transmission line theory, the impedance spectrum of the first end of a cable with a length of l can be calculated as:

[0072]

[0073] Where Z0 is the characteristic impedance; Γ Lis the reflection coefficient at the end of the cable; γ is the propagation coefficient of the cable; they are respectively expressed as:

[0074]

[0075] In the formula, Z L is the load impedance at the end of the cable; α is the attenuation coefficient, which characterizes the attenuation characteristics of the signal; β is the phase coefficient, which satisfies β=2πf / v, and characterizes the phase lag characteristics of the signal; v is the propagation speed of the electromagnetic wave in the cable.

[0076] When the cable end is open, Γ L =1, expand formula (5) using Euler's formula, and only take its imaginary part for analysis, and we get:

[0077]

[0078] In the formula, Im(Z l ) is the impedance spectrum of the first end Z l Part of the imaginary part, without considering the attenuation factor e -2αl From formula (6), we can see that the frequency component f l =2l / v, which is equivalent to the round-trip propagation time of the signal from the cable head end to the point l away from the head end, so it can be processed to obtain the defect position of the cable. This paper uses Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to obtain the positioning spectrum Loc:

[0079] Loc=abs(DFT(Im(Z l ))) (10)

[0080] Where DFT(·) is discrete Fourier transform and abs(·) is the modulus value.

[0081] For a 1000m simulated cable, a 50Ω ground fault is set at 500m, and the positioning spectrum is obtained as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, there are two obvious peaks, which represent the impedance discontinuity points of the cable, namely the defect at 500m and the end of the cable at 1000m. It can be seen that under ideal conditions, this method has a good effect on identifying centralized defects such as low-resistance grounding faults.

[0082] S2, the data in the cable defect location spectrum is calculated in one dimension through the mean-type CFAR algorithm. If the amplitude of the data point is greater than the threshold, it is judged as a defect point and retained; if the amplitude of the data point is less than or equal to the threshold, it is judged as a non-defective point and the data is set to zero, thereby completing the extraction and location of the defect point.

[0083] In the above detection of cable defects using FDR, the defect is mainly reflected in the positioning spectrum by the size of its peak. Most of the current defect identification methods rely on manual identification. In actual tests, due to the spectrum leakage problem caused by Fourier transform and the influence of noise on the test site, "pseudo-peaks" will appear in the positioning spectrum. Considering that the tester's judgment on the defect location is relatively subjective, misjudgment is easy to occur. CFAR is a common method used in the field of radar communication to determine whether the detected object is the target object, which is exactly the same as the purpose of cable defect identification. Therefore, CFAR can be introduced into FDR to locate cable defects to identify defects and reduce human misjudgment.

[0084] The principle of CFAR is to obtain the power level estimate of the background by processing the sampling values ​​of the reference units around the unit to be detected in real-time echo data, and then calculate the detection threshold of the unit to be detected based on the estimated background power level. The mean CFAR is the first to be proposed and the most widely used and important type of CFAR. Its core idea is to use the processing result of the reference window mean as the background power level estimate, multiply it with the threshold multiplication factor to obtain the detection threshold, and then make a comparison to determine whether there is a target or not;

[0085] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the reference unit is located on both sides of the unit to be detected, with n units in front and behind; there is one unit on each side of the protection unit, which mainly plays the role of preventing the target energy from leaking to the reference unit in the case of a single target. The detection threshold T = αZ, where α is the threshold multiplication factor. If the amplitude of the unit to be detected is greater than the threshold T, it is determined that the target exists; otherwise, the target does not exist.

[0086] The choice of mean Z determines different processing methods. In order to obtain a higher threshold level to eliminate the interference of "pseudo-peaks", the unit maximum selection constant false alarm rate (Greatest of CFAR, GO-CFAR) processing method is adopted. The core idea is to take the average of the front and back reference window sampling values ​​and then select the larger one as the background power level estimate. For the data in N (N = 2n) reference cells, there are:

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] Z=max(X,Y) (13)

[0090] Assume that in a uniform environment H0, due to x i Independent and identically distributed, so X and Y are also independent and identically distributed, and both obey Γ distribution, and their probability density function is:

[0091]

[0092] Where a and b are two parameters of Γ distribution; Γ(·) is the Γ function, and for integer a, Γ(a)=(a-1)!.

[0093] In the process of calculating the expected value of the false alarm probability, the relationship between the false alarm probability, the number of reference units and the threshold product factor can be calculated more simply according to the properties of the moment generating function. The moment generating function of Z can be obtained according to the probability theory formula, and then the false alarm probability of GO-CFAR in a uniform environment can be obtained as follows:

[0094]

[0095] Formula (15) shows that after determining the threshold coefficient α and the number of reference units n, the false alarm probability remains unchanged, that is, the constant false alarm rate. Next, we only need to substitute the data in the original positioning spectrum into the GO-CFAR algorithm for one-dimensional calculation to obtain a new positioning spectrum.

[0096] For a 1000m simulated cable, a 1500Ω high-resistance fault is set at 700m. The simulation results are as follows: Figure 6 It can be seen that the defect peak of high resistance fault is not obvious, such as Figure 6 (a). But using GO-CFAR

[0097] The algorithm can give an adaptive judgment threshold according to the signal background power level and successfully detect the high-resistance fault at 700m with obvious characteristics. Figure 6 (b) This shows that this method can be applied to cable defect identification.

[0098] See also Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention discloses a cable defect location system based on frequency domain reflection-constant false alarm rate, including a location spectrum module and a defect location module. The location spectrum module is used to calculate the impedance spectrum of the head end of the defective cable according to the distribution parameters of the defective cable, and to perform discrete Fourier transform on the impedance spectrum of the head end to extract the characteristic information of the impedance spectrum, so as to obtain a cable defect location spectrum; the defect location module is used to perform one-dimensional calculation on the data in the cable defect location spectrum through a mean-type CFAR algorithm, and if the amplitude of the data point is greater than a threshold, it is judged as a defect point and retained; if the amplitude of the data point is less than or equal to the threshold, it is judged as a non-defective point and the data is set to zero, thereby completing the extraction and location of the defect point.

[0099] See also Figure 7 The embodiment of the present invention discloses a platform for implementing a method for locating cable defects based on frequency domain reflection and constant false alarm rate. The working process of the platform is as follows:

[0100] (1) The computer assigns signal parameters and inputs them into the signal generator;

[0101] (2) The actual signal generated by the signal generator is used as the incident signal and enters the cable under test through the directional coupler;

[0102] (3) The reflected signal generated by the cable under test enters the oscilloscope through the directional coupler and is collected;

[0103] (4) The oscilloscope transmits the collected incident signal and reflected signal to the computer;

[0104] (5) The computer processes the incident signal and the reflected signal and calculates the impedance spectrum of the first end according to the formula;

[0105] (6) The computer processes the impedance spectrum data of the first end using the CFAR algorithm and draws a diagnostic spectrum;

[0106] (7) Locate local defects by detecting the mutation position of the diagnostic function value in the diagnostic map.

[0107] Example:

[0108] The signal transmission characteristics of coaxial cables are similar to those of power cables. To verify the effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper, SYV50-3-4 RF cables with a total length of 800m and 870m were tested in the laboratory. During the experiment, the sheath and insulation layer of the RF cable were stripped, and the transition resistor was connected between the core and the shielding layer to simulate a high-resistance fault. The sweep frequency range was set to 300kHz~50MHz, and the number of sweep points was 50001. Cable No. 1 is a sound cable; cables No. 2 to No. 9 are single-point defect cables; and No. 10 is a multi-point defect cable.

[0109] The coaxial cable samples were tested using the FDR-CFAR joint positioning method. The results are as follows: Figure 8 shown. Figure 8 (a) shows that the defect peaks corresponding to different transition resistance values ​​at the same position are not the same. The weaker the defect, the smaller the corresponding positioning peak, that is, the lower the positioning sensitivity. Figure 8 (b) shows that when defects with the same transition resistance value exist at different locations, the positioning sensitivity becomes lower as it approaches the end of the cable. Figure 8 (c) shows that this method can identify multiple defects occurring on the same cable.

[0110] In summary, the method proposed in the present invention can effectively locate centralized defects such as single-point and multi-point high-resistance faults in cables. Figure 8 (d) shows the positioning effect of the traditional FDR using the BIS method on the No. 10 multi-point defect cable. It can be seen that the defect at 570m can be barely identified, but the defect peak at 500m has been obscured, indicating that the defect at this point is quite weak. In actual testing, the defect at this point will be ignored, which will bring certain hidden dangers to the power system. Figure 8 (c) The defects at 500 m were intuitively identified. This comparison also confirms that the method proposed in this paper can significantly improve the recognition of subtle defects in the cable.

[0111] The present invention aims at the problem of misjudgment in the detection of cable defects by traditional FDR, introduces CFAR algorithm to improve the positioning spectrum, and verifies it through numerical simulation and experimental tests. Due to the subjective and objective factors in actual testing, in order to improve the recognition of defects, this patent proposes a FDR-CFAR cable defect joint positioning method, extracts the impedance discontinuity points of actual cables under complex conditions, verifies the detection effect of this method on weak defects through simulation and experiments, and solves the problem of misjudgment of defect points to a certain extent.
