[0022] Example

[0023] This embodiment provides a method for quickly locating a power line fault, comprising the following steps:

[0024] Data collection and preprocessing: Install smart sensors on power lines to collect real-time operating data such as current, voltage, and temperature. Preprocess the collected data, including denoising and normalization, to improve data quality and provide a reliable data foundation for subsequent feature image construction and model training.

[0025] Feature image construction: The preprocessed data is converted into a two-dimensional feature image so that feature extraction can be performed using a convolutional neural network. Feature images can include heat maps and spectrum maps of time series data, which can intuitively display the operating status of the power line and provide key information for subsequent fault identification.

[0026] Convolutional neural network model construction and training:

[0027] Design a convolutional neural network model that includes multiple convolutional layers, pooling layers, fully connected layers, and activation functions. The convolutional layer is used to extract local features from the input image; the pooling layer is used to reduce the dimension of the feature map and reduce the amount of calculation; the fully connected layer is used to map the extracted features to the fault type space; the activation function is used to introduce nonlinearity and improve the expressiveness of the model.

[0028] Data enhancement: In order to increase the generalization ability of the model, the training data is enhanced, such as rotation, scaling, flipping, etc., to generate more training samples.

[0029] Loss function selection: According to the requirements of the fault location task, select an appropriate loss function, such as the cross entropy loss function for classification tasks and the mean square error loss function for regression tasks.

[0030] Optimization algorithm: Use optimization algorithms such as stochastic gradient descent and Adam to train the model. By continuously iteratively updating the model parameters, the loss of the model on the training set is gradually reduced.

[0031] Early stopping method: To avoid overfitting of the model, use the early stopping method to monitor the performance of the model on the validation set and stop training when the loss on the validation set no longer decreases.

[0032] Model evaluation: After training, use the test set to evaluate the model and calculate indicators such as accuracy, recall, and F1 score to measure the performance of the model.

[0033] Fault identification and location: The feature image to be detected is input into the trained convolutional neural network model. The model automatically determines the fault type based on the features of the input image and outputs the fault location information. By analyzing the model output, the rapid identification and accurate location of power line faults can be achieved.

[0034] Result verification and optimization: The fault location information output by the model is compared and verified with the actual situation on site to evaluate the positioning accuracy of the model. Based on the verification results, the model is fine-tuned and optimized, such as adjusting the model structure, increasing training data, etc., to improve positioning accuracy.

[0035] Working principle: The working principle of the patent of this invention is to collect real-time operation data by installing intelligent sensors on the power lines, convert these data into two-dimensional feature images and input them into the constructed convolutional neural network model. After training, the model can intelligently identify and quickly locate power line faults, output fault type and location information, thereby realizing efficient and accurate diagnosis of power line faults.
