Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage transmission line fault location, and in particular to a transmission line acoustic wave location method based on wavelet analysis. Background Art
[0002] At present, the main methods for transmission line fault distance measurement include fault analysis method, traveling wave method, and acoustic wave positioning method. The fault analysis method is a method of calculating the fault distance by measuring the current and voltage after a line fault occurs, and establishing corresponding equations and analyzing them in combination with the operating parameters of the system. The traveling wave law detects the time it takes for the transient traveling wave signal (electromagnetic wave) generated after the fault to reach the measuring end, combined with the wave speed, to complete the fault distance measurement. Acoustic wave positioning is a method of obtaining sound signals through acoustic sensors, using the time it takes for the direct sound wave to reach the sensor, combined with the sound wave speed for distance measurement.
[0003] The fault analysis method is easily interfered by the load current, and there is also a certain delay problem in the transmission of data, which makes it impossible to achieve accurate positioning. The traveling wave method is simple and easy to use, and is widely used in line fault distance measurement. However, since the detected transient traveling wave signal propagates at the speed of light, the sensitivity of the detection equipment is required to be high, and the investment cost is high. Especially for the two-end traveling wave distance measurement method, it is necessary to ensure that the synchronization accuracy of both ends of the transmission line reaches the microsecond level, which brings great challenges to fault distance measurement. The distance measurement principle of the acoustic wave location method is similar to that of the traveling wave method. Both methods measure the arrival time of the traveling wave signal and complete the fault distance measurement by combining the wave speed. Since the propagation speed of the sound wave is much lower than that of the electromagnetic wave (the speed of light), the acoustic wave location method has lower sensitivity requirements for the acoustic sensor and lower investment costs, which makes the acoustic wave location method more and more widely used in transmission line fault distance measurement. However, the interference of environmental noise on the transmission of the acoustic wave signal is a major problem in line distance measurement, especially the "misjudgment information" caused by the noise will directly affect the determination of the arrival time of the sound wave, and ultimately affect the accuracy of the line fault distance measurement.

[0046] Specifically, S5 After normalization, The data in is mapped to [0,1], specifically:
[0047] in: for The maximum value in the data, for The minimum value in the data, is the signal after normalization.
[0048] Specifically, in S5 After data mapping is completed, considering the normalized signal If there is still misjudgment information, it is necessary to introduce variables right Filter out the misjudged information in:
[0049] The normalized signal With variables Multiply to get the positioning curve :
[0050] By positioning curve The high-order mutation points in the fault determine the time when the fault sound wave reaches the measurement end.
[0051] Specifically, the symmetric component in S2 is calculated as: Zero sequence component
[0052] Positive sequence component
[0053] Negative sequence component
[0054] in: They are three current signals respectively.
[0055] Specifically, in S4 Perform wavelet transform to obtain approximate coefficients and detail coefficients:
[0056]
[0057] in: is the original current line mode component signal, including noise; For the The approximate wavelet coefficients obtained in the first-order wavelet transform reflect the low-frequency part of the signal; For the The detail wavelet coefficients obtained from the first-order wavelet transform reflect the high-frequency part of the signal and contain noise.
[0058] Specifically, S4 also includes setting a threshold , used for denoising.
[0059] Specifically, the S4 soft threshold processing is calculated as:
[0060] in: The threshold value is set to distinguish signal from noise, which is selected by empirical rules or cross-validation; is the detail wavelet coefficient after soft threshold processing, indicating the signal details after denoising.

[0064] in: yes The mean of is the standard deviation.
[0065] Acoustic sensors are installed at both ends of the transmission line and can instantly detect the acoustic wave signals generated by the fault. This real-time performance ensures the agility of the response to the fault, thereby shortening the time interval between the occurrence of the fault and the detection, greatly improving the overall monitoring efficiency.
[0066] Secondly, the accuracy of signal processing is enhanced through decoupling and wavelet analysis. When the current signal is decoupled, the interference between different lines is minimized, ensuring the purity of the signal. On this basis, the use of wavelet transform can effectively separate the low-frequency and high-frequency components in the signal. This processing step not only improves the signal feature extraction capability, but also makes the analysis of fault signals more sensitive, thereby improving the accuracy of fault location.
[0067] In terms of noise processing, the enhanced denoising capability also significantly improves the reliability of fault location. By denoising the signal, the noise interference from the environment and the equipment itself is reduced, ensuring the extraction of effective signals. This is crucial for subsequent analysis, because clear data can significantly reduce the risk of misjudgment, which directly affects the accuracy of positioning.
[0068] Normalization also helps improve the accuracy of positioning by strengthening the consistency of data. By standardizing the signal, the error introduced by inconsistent data range can be reduced during the analysis process. In this way, subsequent analysis is more accurate, so that problem positioning can be focused on the most relevant data.
[0069] In addition, high-order mutation point analysis further enhances the accuracy of fault location. In the positioning curve, the timely identification of mutation points can quickly determine the moment when the fault sound wave reaches the measurement point. This real-time analysis capability ensures that the fault is quickly located and provides an effective time basis for maintenance and repair.
[0070] The automation and rapid processing capabilities of the entire method improve the efficiency of fault response. By simplifying each link from signal acquisition to fault diagnosis, the system can quickly produce accurate fault location results under high-load operation conditions, improving the timeliness and reliability of response.
[0071] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
