Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of single-phase grounding fault identification in transmission lines, specifically to a method for identifying single-phase grounding faults in transmission lines based on empirical mode approximate entropy. Background Art

[0002] Over 70% of transmission line faults are single-phase grounding faults, and about 80% of these are transient. To restore the line to operation after a transient single-phase fault is cleared, and to improve the reliability of power supply and the stability of the power system through automatic reclosing, effective identification of single-phase fault types is necessary. Existing identification methods suffer from low sensitivity, poor noise immunity, and long computation time. A method with high sensitivity, good noise immunity, and rapid online identification is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a method for identifying single-phase grounding faults in transmission lines based on empirical mode approximate entropy, which identifies the fault by obtaining the empirical mode approximate entropy value of the transient voltage signal at the fault phase terminal during a single-phase grounding fault in the transmission line.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] This application provides a method for identifying single-phase grounding faults in transmission lines based on empirical mode approximate entropy, including the following specific steps:

[0006] 1) After a fault occurs, sample the voltage value of the faulty phase at the beginning of the line within a certain period of time;

[0007] 2) Perform empirical mode decomposition on the sampled fault phase voltage values ​​at the beginning of the line to obtain a series of empirical mode function (IMF) values ​​from high frequency to low frequency;

[0008] 3) Arrange the IMF values ​​of each component obtained from the decomposition into a vector in order, calculate its approximate entropy value, and sum the approximate entropy values;

[0009] 4) When a single-phase ground fault occurs, the approximate entropy value of the empirical mode of the phase terminal voltage of a transient and a permanent single-phase ground fault is very different. The fault type can be determined by comparing the entropy value with 1. If it is greater than 1, it is a transient fault.

[0010] The empirical mode decomposition (IMF) of the sampled fault phase voltage at the beginning of the line to obtain a series of empirical mode function values ​​(IMFs) from high frequency to low frequency is specifically as follows:

[0011] Determine all the maximum and minimum points of the signal s(t). Fit the upper and lower envelopes of the original data sequence with a cubic spline function based on these extreme points, and take their mean m1. Subtract m1 from the original data sequence s(t) to obtain a new data sequence h1. Usually, h1 is not a stationary data sequence, so repeat the above process n times. When the IMF condition is met, the first IMF component c1 is obtained, which represents the highest frequency component in the signal data.

[0012] Subtracting c1 from s(t) yields a new data sequence with the highest frequency component removed. Repeating the above steps results in a series of c... i And the last indivisible sequence r, where r represents the mean or trend term of s(t), until r is smaller than a predetermined value or r becomes a monotonic function. In this way, the original data sequence s(t) can be represented as the sum of n intrinsic modal components and one residual, i.e.

[0013]

[0014] When determining whether the obtained signal meets the IMF conditions, the following formula is used.

[0015]

[0016] Where: h (k-1) (t) is the remaining signal after k-1 rounds of filtering; h (k) (t) is the remaining signal after k rounds of filtering, s D The value ranges from 0.2 to 0.3.

[0017] The process involves arranging the IMF values ​​of each component obtained from the decomposition into a vector in order, calculating its approximate entropy value, and summing the approximate entropy values.

[0018] The original data for each component empirical mode are {u(i), i = 0, 1, 2, ..., N}, with the mode dimension m and the similarity tolerance value δ (δ > 0) pre-given.

[0019] Arrange the sequence {u(i)} into an m-dimensional vector X(i) in order, that is...

[0020] X(i)=[u(i),u(i+1),...,u(i+m-1)]

[0021] For each value i, calculate the distance between vector X(i) and the other vectors X(j):

[0022]

[0023] Given a similarity tolerance value δ, for each value i, count the number of vectors where d[X(i),X(j)] < δ and the ratio of this number to the total number of vectors N-m+1, denoted as […].

[0024] First Take the logarithm, then calculate its average over all i, denoted as . Right now

[0025]

[0026] Repeat the above process for m+1 to obtain...

[0027] Therefore, theoretically, the approximate entropy of this sequence is:

[0028]

[0029] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are: when a single-phase ground fault occurs in a transmission line, the transient voltage signal at the fault phase terminal of a transient fault is more complex than that of a permanent fault. The transient voltage signal at the fault phase terminal, after calculation using empirical mode approximation entropy, can be clearly expressed in the entropy value. It has low sensitivity to noise and is unaffected by factors such as transition resistance, short-circuit location, and the presence of parallel reactors. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the following drawings only show certain embodiments of the present application and therefore should not be regarded as limiting the scope. For ordinary technicians in this field, other relevant drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0038]

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, a method for identifying single-phase grounding faults in transmission lines based on empirical mode approximate entropy includes the following specific steps:

[0040] 1) After a fault occurs, sample the voltage value of the faulty phase at the beginning of the line within a certain period of time;

[0041] 2) Perform empirical mode decomposition on the sampled fault phase voltage values ​​at the beginning of the line to obtain a series of empirical mode function (IMF) values ​​from high frequency to low frequency;

[0042] 3) Arrange the IMF values ​​of each component obtained from the decomposition into a vector in order, calculate its approximate entropy value, and sum the approximate entropy values;

[0043] 4) When a single-phase ground fault occurs, the approximate entropy value of the empirical mode of the phase terminal voltage of a transient and a permanent single-phase ground fault is very different. The fault type can be determined by comparing the entropy value with 1. If it is greater than 1, it is a transient fault.

[0044] The empirical mode decomposition (IMF) of the sampled fault phase voltage at the beginning of the line to obtain a series of empirical mode function values ​​(IMFs) from high frequency to low frequency is specifically as follows:

[0045] Determine all the maximum and minimum points of the signal s(t). Fit the upper and lower envelopes of the original data sequence with a cubic spline function based on these extreme points, and take their mean m1. Subtract m1 from the original data sequence s(t) to obtain a new data sequence h1. Usually, h1 is not a stationary data sequence, so repeat the above process n times. When the IMF condition is met, the first IMF component c1 is obtained, which represents the highest frequency component in the signal data.

[0046] Subtracting c1 from s(t) yields a new data sequence with the highest frequency component removed. Repeating the above steps results in a series of c... i And the last indivisible sequence r, where r represents the mean or trend term of s(t), until r is smaller than a predetermined value or r becomes a monotonic function. In this way, the original data sequence s(t) can be represented as the sum of n intrinsic modal components and one residual, i.e.

[0047]

[0048] When determining whether the obtained signal meets the IMF conditions, the following formula is used.

[0049]

[0050] Where: h (k-1) (t) is the remaining signal after k-1 rounds of filtering; h (k) (t) is the remaining signal after k rounds of filtering.

[0051] The process involves arranging the IMF values ​​of each component obtained from the decomposition into a vector in order, calculating its approximate entropy value, and summing the approximate entropy values.

[0052] The original data for each component empirical mode are {u(i), i = 0, 1, 2, ..., N}, with the mode dimension m and the similarity tolerance value δ (δ > 0) pre-given.

[0053] Arrange the sequence {u(i)} into an m-dimensional vector X(i) in order, that is...

[0054] X(i)=[u(i),u(i+1),...,u(i+m-1)]

[0055] For each value i, calculate the distance between vector X(i) and the other vectors X(j):

[0056]

[0057] Given a similarity tolerance value δ, for each value i, count the number of vectors where d[X(i),X(j)] < δ and the ratio of this number to the total number of vectors N-m+1, denoted as […].

[0058] First Take the logarithm, then calculate its average over all i, denoted as . Right now

[0059]

[0060] Repeat the above process for m+1 to obtain...

[0061] Therefore, theoretically, the approximate entropy of this sequence is:

[0062]

[0063] When a transmission line fault occurs, the empirical mode approximation entropy, which combines empirical mode decomposition (EMD) with approximate entropy, can effectively extract features from the transient fault signal. In the case of a single-phase ground fault, the EMD approximate entropy values ​​differ between transient and permanent faults. Under different fault locations and transition resistances, the EMD approximate entropy values ​​of the transient phase voltage signal for transient faults are all much larger than 1, while the EMD approximate entropy values ​​of the transient phase voltage signal for permanent faults are all smaller than 1. This indicates that, since EMD itself has denoising capabilities and approximate entropy is insensitive to noise, using the EMD approximate entropy value as the basis for identifying transient and permanent faults is effective.

[0064] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations of the present application are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
