[0078] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 The present invention provides a method and system diagram for locating faults in a smart distribution network, which includes the following steps:

[0079] Step S1, by deploying distributed acquisition devices at each node, collecting voltage amplitude and frequency signals in real time, extracting instantaneous features and calculating spatial distribution laws, and generating a feature template library;

[0080] Wherein step S1 also includes the following sub-steps:

[0081] S1-1, by deploying distributed acquisition devices at each node, real-time voltage amplitude and frequency data are collected, equipped with anti-interference modules to reduce the impact of external noise, and equipped with data loss compensation mechanisms to ensure that effective features can still be obtained when the data is incomplete;

[0082] S1-2, using the improved signal decomposition algorithm ICEEMDAN, decompose the voltage signal and obtain the intrinsic mode functions IMFs. The decomposed voltage signal can be expressed as the superposition of each order IMFs and the residual term, as shown in formula (1):

[0083] Formula (1)

[0084] in, is the voltage signal, are the i-th order IMFs, is the residual term;

[0085] Since the order and frequency range of the decomposed IMFs are not fixed, IMFs cannot be directly used as fault features in the fault location model. The Pearson correlation coefficient is used to select IMFs with a strong correlation with the original signal, as shown in formula (2):

[0086] Formula (2)

[0087] in, is the Pearson correlation coefficient between the i-th order IMF and the original signal, is the covariance operator, is the covariance of IMF and original signal, and Respectively and The standard deviation of

[0088] The instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency characteristics of the fault voltage are extracted by Hilbert transform, as shown in formula (3):

[0089] Formula (3)

[0090] in, is the reconstructed voltage signal, and are the instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency respectively;

[0091] S1-3, using the amplitude and frequency fluctuation amplitude of the adjacent nodes, calculate the spatial distribution characteristics, analyze the characteristic spatial distribution patterns corresponding to different fault types and locations, generate a distribution feature template library, and define the amplitude-frequency feature change rate of each node, as shown in formula (4):

[0092] Formula (4)

[0093] in, For Node The amplitude-frequency characteristic change rate, For Node The amplitude and frequency of For Node The amplitude and frequency of For Node The geographical or topological distance.

[0094] It should be noted that different fault types have an impact on spatial distribution. For a single-phase ground short circuit fault, where only one phase is short-circuited to ground, the amplitude drop and frequency fluctuation of the voltage signal will be significant near the fault point, while the impact on nodes far away from the fault point will be small, and the spatial distribution will be localized.

[0095] In the case of two-phase short circuit or two-phase ground short circuit, the current between the two phases changes more dramatically and the impact range is wider than that of single-phase short circuit. The voltage signal will show obvious disturbances at multiple nodes, and the spatial distribution has a certain symmetry.

[0096] Three-phase short circuit or three-phase ground short circuit is a serious fault. The voltage of all nodes in the system will be significantly affected. The amplitude drop and frequency fluctuation are large, the spatial distribution is relatively uniform, and the coverage area is wide.

[0097] The impact of different fault locations on spatial distribution: Faults close to the main transformer have a larger impact range, because the main transformer is connected to multiple important branches, and the fault will cause drastic changes in voltage signals at more nodes; faults close to the end load have a smaller impact range, and the abnormalities of voltage signals are mainly concentrated at the fault point and its adjacent nodes, and nodes far away from the fault point are less affected.

[0098] Step S2, combining the topological structure and amplitude-frequency distribution characteristics of the distribution network, dynamically adjusting the adjacency matrix, constructing a graph network that can reflect the operating status in real time, and generating node status labels that match the fault mode;

[0099] Wherein step S2 also includes the following sub-steps:

[0100] S2-1, distribution pattern mapping, combines the spatial distribution characteristics with the distribution network topology to construct a feature map based on the amplitude-frequency distribution law. Each node contains the amplitude, frequency and fluctuation characteristics of its adjacent nodes, as shown in formula (5):

[0101] Formula (5)

[0102] in, is the instantaneous amplitude matrix, is the instantaneous frequency matrix, is the adjacency matrix, which describes the topological relationship between nodes in the graph;

[0103] S2-2, introduces a dynamic topology adjustment mechanism, which dynamically adjusts the nodes and edge relationships of the graph network to reflect the current operating status by monitoring the changes in the operating topology of the distribution network, such as the addition of nodes, load transfer, and branch disconnection; and changes in electrical parameters, such as voltage amplitude and frequency fluctuations;

[0104] S2-3, graph label generation, based on the feature template library of distribution rules, generate corresponding graph labels for each fault mode, and mark the fault status of the nodes in the graph according to the distribution feature template

[0105] , generate state labels, as shown in formula (6):

[0106] Formula (6)

[0107] in, For Node i Status label, 1 means normal and 0 means fault.

[0108] It should be noted that the instantaneous amplitude and frequency characteristics of the nodes are combined with the adjacency relationship to construct a feature graph, and the adjacency matrix is ​​updated in real time through a dynamic topology adjustment mechanism to adapt to dynamically changing scenarios such as load transfer and distributed power supply access. By monitoring electrical parameters including voltage fluctuations and structural changes including new nodes and branch disconnections, adaptive adjustment of the graph network is achieved. Each node also generates a status label based on the distribution feature template, further enhancing the graph model's ability to express complex operating states.

[0109] Step S3, designing a fault location model based on a graph convolutional network, introducing a spatiotemporal convolution and distribution law comparison module, using node features and spatial distribution laws to extract fault modes and achieve node fault state prediction;

[0110] Wherein step S3 also includes the following sub-steps:

[0111] S3-1, model structure definition, design a distribution law driven graph convolutional network (DG-GCN), combine node features and spatial distribution features to extract fault signal patterns, and introduce a distribution comparison module based on spatiotemporal convolution to enhance the recognition of specific distribution laws;

[0112] The temporal features are extracted through one-dimensional convolution, as shown in equations (7) and (8):

[0113] Formula (7)

[0114] Formula (8)

[0115] in, and Respectively The frequency and amplitude feature matrices of the layers, and Respectively The frequency and amplitude feature matrices of the layer; and These are two one-dimensional convolution kernel functions used to extract time domain features; is the activation function; Indicates the multiplication of corresponding elements;

[0116] The spatial features are extracted by spectral convolution, as shown in formula (9):

[0117] Formula (9)

[0118] in, For the The frequency feature matrix of the layer, W is the adjacency matrix, D is the degree matrix of W, is the convolution kernel;

[0119] The node failure index is calculated through the fully connected layer, as shown in formula (10):

[0120] Formula (10)

[0121] in, The predicted node i The failure index, is the activation function, and is the weight matrix in the fully connected layer, and are the instantaneous amplitude characteristics and instantaneous frequency characteristics of node i respectively;

[0122] S3-2, define the distribution law matching loss function, minimize the difference between the true distribution and the predicted distribution, and use the multi-label classification loss function to optimize the model, as shown in formula (11):

[0123] Formula (11)

[0124] in, The actual node state label vector, is the node state vector predicted by the model, is the loss function value, n is the total number of nodes, is the fault state of node i, is the failure index of node i;

[0125] S3-3, use the constructed distribution feature template library and historical fault data to train the model, use the cross-validation method to evaluate the model performance, divide the training set and the test set, optimize the model parameters with the multi-label classification loss function during the training process, and learn the relationship between the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the nodes and the spatial distribution law.

[0126] It should be noted that by comparing the feature distribution in the template library with the predicted distribution, it is ensured that the model can learn the spatial distribution law of the amplitude-frequency characteristics, thereby improving the accuracy of the prediction. The weight of the node state is introduced into the loss function, and the key nodes are given a larger optimization weight to improve the ability to capture the distribution law.

[0127] Since multiple nodes in the distribution network may fail at the same time, a multi-label classification loss function is designed so that the model can handle complex scenarios where multiple faults occur at the same time. The predicted value of each node is calculated independently, and the global loss is adjusted based on the overall distribution law. During the optimization process, the model gradually narrows the difference between the predicted results and the actual distribution, thereby improving the model's adaptability to complex fault distribution patterns.

[0128] Step S4, collect real-time data after the fault occurs, calculate the matching similarity between the distribution characteristics and the template library, and combine the model reasoning results to comprehensively judge the fault type and specific location;

[0129] Wherein step S4 also includes the following sub-steps:

[0130] S4-1, after a fault occurs, collect the real-time voltage signals of each node in the distribution network, and use the instantaneous amplitude and frequency characteristic data obtained by the deployed distributed acquisition devices. The real-time data is quickly processed by the signal processing module, including noise filtering and abnormal point correction;

[0131] S4-2, distribution pattern matching, calculate the spatial distribution characteristics of real-time data, match it with the distribution template library, determine the fault type and location, calculate the spatial distribution characteristics of real-time data, compare it with the samples in the distribution template library, and match the similarity, as shown in formula (12):

[0132] Formula (12)

[0133] in, is the matching similarity between real-time data and template, is the amplitude-frequency characteristic distribution of real-time data, is the amplitude-frequency characteristic template in the distribution template library;

[0134] S4-3, input the amplitude and frequency characteristic data collected in real time into the distribution law driven graph convolutional network (DG-GCN) model, and generate the fault index of each node through the joint analysis of node characteristics and spatial distribution laws by the model. Combined with the similarity matching results of the distribution feature template library, the specific node and branch location where the fault occurred is comprehensively judged.

[0135] It should be noted that after a fault occurs, the system first generates a fault index for each node through a distribution-driven graph convolutional network (DG-GCN) model to describe the possibility of a node failure. The model uses the real-time amplitude and frequency characteristics of the node, combined with the adjacency relationship in the graph network, and conducts a comprehensive analysis through spatiotemporal feature extraction and distribution comparison modules to output the fault index of each node. The closer the similarity value is to 1, the higher the degree of match between the real-time distribution feature and a certain fault mode in the template library. By combining the fault index and similarity matching results, the specific node where the fault occurs and the location of its branch are comprehensively judged.

[0136] Step S5, by testing the performance of the model in different scenarios, dynamically updating the distribution template library and optimizing the model algorithm structure, the accuracy of fault location is improved.

[0137] Wherein, in step S5, the following sub-steps are also included:

[0138] S5-1, as the distribution network operation data accumulates, the distribution law template library is dynamically updated using the newly collected fault data, and the incremental learning mechanism is used to adapt to the changes in the distribution network operation environment, focusing on generating new distribution templates for new scenarios such as distributed power access, load transfer, and topology adjustment;

[0139] S5-2, testing the positioning accuracy of the model under different fault scenarios and topology change conditions, and testing the real-time response capability of the model in simulation and actual scenarios;

[0140] S5-3, based on the performance evaluation results, the model is optimized and adjusted, including the introduction of a new distribution law mining algorithm to improve the feature extraction capability of complex faults, improving the structure of the graph convolutional network (DG-GCN) to enhance the expressiveness of the model, and adjusting the loss function to better adapt to multi-label classification tasks.

[0141] It should be noted that the access of distributed power sources will change the electrical parameter characteristics and power flow of the original distribution network, causing the fluctuation characteristics of voltage amplitude and frequency to present a new distribution pattern. Real-time data is used to extract the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the nodes after access, and combined with the power access location and its output characteristics, a new distribution template that adapts to the distributed power access scenario is generated.

[0142] During the load transfer process, the power demand and voltage distribution in the distribution network change significantly. By monitoring the dynamic changes of node characteristics during the load transfer process and recalculating the amplitude-frequency change rate between nodes, a distribution pattern template that can adapt to the load transfer scenario is constructed.

[0143] When the topology of the distribution network is adjusted, such as adding new branches or nodes or disconnecting certain lines, the topological relationship between the nodes and the electrical distribution rules will change accordingly. At this time, the adjacency matrix is ​​updated in real time, and the node characteristics under the new topology are remodeled to generate a distribution template suitable for the adjusted topology.

[0145] Data acquisition module, signal processing and feature extraction module, graph network construction module, fault location model module, distribution pattern template library and matching module, optimization module;

[0146] The data acquisition module collects voltage signals in real time at each node of the distribution network through a distributed acquisition device. The collected data includes instantaneous voltage amplitude and frequency characteristics, supports high sampling rate, and is equipped with anti-interference and data loss compensation mechanisms;
