Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of power system fault location, and particularly relates to a power transmission line fault distance measurement method based on ICEEMDAN and improved YOLOv8. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rapid growth of distribution networks and the increase in load demand make the distribution network play a crucial role in urban development. However, the distribution network is prone to line faults due to various events such as adverse weather conditions, instantaneous contact with animals and plants, infrastructure aging, etc. These line faults not only result in high maintenance costs, but also cause productivity reduction and significant economic losses. Therefore, an accurate and rapid line fault location method is of great significance for the safe and stable operation of the distribution system.

[0003] In real life, many principles and algorithms for power grid line fault location have been proposed according to actual needs, among which the traveling wave method is widely used. However, the key to applying the traveling wave method is to accurately determine the traveling wave front, which will directly affect the accuracy of the traveling wave fault location. In addition, most improved traveling wave methods also require manual selection of the initial traveling wave front to ensure data reliability.

[0004] Currently, the traveling wave arrival time determination method uses wavelet modulus maximum value to detect the abrupt point of the traveling wave signal, determines the time when the fault traveling wave arrives at the monitoring point, and realizes line fault location, which has achieved good results. However, the wavelet transform method needs to select a suitable wavelet basis function and decomposition scale, and has poor adaptability.

[0005] The fault location method based on EMD decomposition has phenomena such as modal aliasing and end effect, which will have a certain impact on the determination of the traveling wave arrival time, and the transformation calculation amount is large, making it difficult to achieve satisfactory results. ICEEMDAN adds noise after decomposition and calculates the mean value based on EMD, which not only preserves the effective information of the original signal, but also greatly reduces the redundant components brought by the added white noise, further improving the decomposition effect.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application and not to limit the present application.

[0092] As shown in Figure 1 , the power line fault ranging method based on ICEEMDAN and improved YOLOv8 includes the following steps:

[0093] Step one: Collect a large number of three-phase voltage transient signals at the M and N ends of the line after the fault, collect the fault voltage waveform diagram, use the Kelvin-Bell transformation to perform phase-to-mode transformation on the three-phase voltage transient signals, obtain the line mode component and the ground mode component of the voltage, and select the line mode component as the fault traveling wave research object;

[0094] Use PSCAD to simulate five power lines, as shown in Figure 2 , including pure overhead lines, pure cable lines and hybrid lines. Set one of the lines to have a single-phase ground fault at a sampling rate of 10 MHz, and repeat the simulation many times under different fault occurrence times, different grounding resistances, and different fault occurrence positions, and obtain the voltage transient signal saving file at both ends of the line each time.

[0095] Step two: decompose the traveling wave voltage line mode component using the ICEEMDAN algorithm, strengthen the prominent features of the traveling wave signal using the NTEO algorithm, collect the fault traveling wave energy spectrum diagram and the amplified traveling wave energy spectrum diagram, and establish a traveling wave detection dataset;

[0096] Read each obtained simulation file, perform phase-to-mode transformation on the three-phase transient voltage signals, and decompose the traveling wave voltage line mode component using the ICEEMDAN algorithm. The specific method is as follows:

[0097] 1) Based on the original signal s, add auxiliary noise for EMD decomposition to generate a new signal sequence:

[0104] 3) Obtain the first order intrinsic modal function component of the signal by subtracting the original signal from the first order residual component , that is,

[0105] (4)

[0106] 4) Based on the first order residual component , add multiple sets of auxiliary noise to obtain a new second order residual component by taking the mean , and obtain the second order intrinsic modal function component of the signal by subtracting the first order residual component :

[0110] (7)

[0111] (8)

[0112] 6) Continue iteration until the residual signal obtained cannot be further decomposed, and the decomposition termination condition is met, to obtain all intrinsic modal function components and residual components.

[0113] The first order intrinsic modal function component obtained by decomposing the fault traveling wave is strengthened by using the NTEO algorithm to highlight the characteristics of the traveling wave signal. The specific method is:

[0121] Increasing the interval of sampling signal points and thus reducing the interference of continuous noise, the sensitivity to signal frequency is improved, thereby enhancing the anti-noise performance of the algorithm.

[0122] Step three: establishing a traveling wave detection data set;

[0123] Collecting the fault traveling wave energy spectrum obtained by the NTEO algorithm and the amplified traveling wave energy spectrum, as well as the fault voltage waveform obtained before, to form a traveling wave detection data set.

[0124] Step four: building an improved YOLOv8 network and training using the traveling wave detection data set;

[0125] The improved YOLOv8 model is shown in Figure 7 , and the construction process of the improved YOLOv8 network specifically includes:

The three-phase voltage transient signals at the M and N ends of the line after the fault are collected, the fault voltage waveform diagram is output, and the trained improved YOLOv8 model is called to determine the initial fault time range.

[0133] Five transmission lines are simulated using PSCAD, as shown in Figure 2 . The five transmission lines include pure overhead lines, pure cable lines, and hybrid lines. A single-phase ground fault occurs on one of the lines at a sampling rate of 10 MHz.

First, the phase-to-mode transformation is performed to obtain the traveling wave voltage line mode component. Then, the ICEEMDAN algorithm is used to decompose the traveling wave voltage line mode component to obtain the first-order intrinsic mode function component. Finally, the NTEO algorithm is used to strengthen the prominent features of the first-order intrinsic mode function component to make the fault traveling wave features more concrete.

[0138] Step seven: According to the reduced fault time range, read the traveling wave characteristic signal obtained by ICEEMDAN and NTEO decomposition at the corresponding stage, output the amplified traveling wave energy spectrum graph, and use the improved YOLOv8 model trained to obtain the accurate arrival time of the initial fault traveling wave head at both ends of the line.

[0139] According to the reduced fault time range obtained above, read the voltage transient signal file at both ends of the line, select the first-order intrinsic mode function component in the time range decomposed by ICEEMDAN, and then use NTEO algorithm to strengthen the characteristic of the traveling wave signal to obtain the amplified traveling wave energy spectrum graph.

[0140] Input the amplified traveling wave energy spectrum graph into the improved YOLOv8 model trained, and output the amplified traveling wave energy spectrum detection graph as shown. Figure 5 , and the probability of detecting the target and the detection frame position and size of the frame-selected detection target, the integrated information obtains the accurate arrival time of the initial fault traveling wave head at both ends of the line.

[0141] Step eight: According to the accurate arrival time of the initial fault traveling wave head at both ends of the line, accurately calculate the fault point position.

[0142] The principle of double-end traveling wave method is shown in Figure 6 After obtaining the accurate arrival time of the initial fault traveling wave head at both ends of the line, the fault point position is calculated according to the principle, and the calculation process is as follows:
