Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of power distribution cables, and in particular to a power distribution cable operation early warning method and device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, and the development of urban power grids, a large number of overhead lines in urban areas have been "upgraded" and replaced with cable lines. Power cables achieve greater transmission capacity and transmission distance, becoming one of the important components of the distribution network system. In order to promote the process of urbanization and ensure people's quality of life and personal safety, people's demand for electricity is increasing, and their dependence on electricity is also increasing. However, cable failures have gradually become the main source of power accidents, which can easily cause personal accidents and equipment failures, leading to significant economic losses.

[0003] In the power distribution system, due to the complex operating environment of the distribution cable, as the operating time increases, the insulation system will gradually age, and local discharge will occur and propagate along the cable body. If it is not discovered in time, as the hidden dangers increase, failures and accidents will occur. Therefore, in order to find the location of the hidden dangers early and avoid the occurrence of faults, it is necessary to monitor the discharge hidden dangers. It is necessary to develop a distribution cable operation early warning method and device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a distribution cable operation early warning method and device, which can establish an effective baseline model to monitor and predict the operating status of distribution network cables, so as to timely discover and deal with overload problems and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a distribution cable operation early warning method, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step S1: Monitor the current and voltage on the cable in real time through the installed current and voltage sensors, which are directly installed on the cable, distribution box or centralized monitoring device; preliminarily filter invalid data and mark abnormal data;

[0007] Step S2: input the acquired current and voltage into a dynamic analysis module based on machine learning, and use a long short-term memory network model to perform multivariate feature extraction and trend prediction to identify potential anomalies and risk points that may cause failures;

[0008] Step S3: Establish a baseline model based on historical operation data and environmental variables in combination with an adaptive algorithm;

[0009] Step S4: adaptively adjust the current, voltage and temperature threshold ranges through model training; trigger early warning when the operating data exceeds the confidence interval or exceeds the dynamic threshold;

[0010] Step S5: The early warning system performs graded processing of abnormalities based on a multi-level risk assessment mechanism, including mild alarms, moderate alarms, and severe alarms; the early warning information is sent to maintenance personnel in real time through the Internet of Things platform in the form of sound, light signal, SMS or cloud monitoring interface, and provides specific fault locations and potential causes;

[0011] Step S6: After the warning is triggered, the fault location is accurately located through distributed sensor nodes.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S2, the long short-term memory network model in deep learning is used to predict the current and voltage risks. Assuming that the input data is X'(t), the output is the predicted value at the future moment.

[0013]

[0014] Among them, LSTM() is a long short-term memory network model.

[0015] Furthermore, the implementation method of the long short-term memory network model is:

[0016] f t =σ(W f ·[h t-1 ,X′(t)]+b f )

[0017] i t =σ(W i ·[h t-1 ,X′(t)]+b i )

[0018] C t =f t ·C t-1 +i t tanh(W C ·[h t-1 ,X′(t)]+b C )

[0019] o t =σ(W o ·[h t-1 ,X′(t)]+b o )

[0020] h t =o t tanh(C t )

[0021] Among them, f t It is the forget gate, t is the input gate, C t is the cell state, o t is the output gate, h t is the hidden state and σ is the sigmoid activation function.

[0022] Furthermore, the prediction results of the long short-term memory network model are adaptively adjusted, and the adjustment strategy is:

[0023]

[0024] Furthermore, in step S3, the following indicators are used to establish a baseline model:

[0025] A1. Average value: Calculate the average value of current and voltage data as an indicator of the baseline model. The average value reflects the current and voltage levels under normal operating conditions.

[0026] A2. Standard Deviation: Calculate the standard deviation of current and voltage data to measure the degree of dispersion of data. A standard deviation greater than the set value indicates a large fluctuation, which is an indication of abnormal conditions.

[0027] A3. Extreme values: Determine the extreme values ​​of current and voltage data, including maximum and minimum values. These extreme values ​​serve as references for the baseline model to detect whether there are conditions that exceed the normal range.

[0028] A4. Percentile: Calculate the percentile of current and voltage data to determine the concentration range of most data under normal operating conditions.

[0029] Furthermore, in step S5, the early warning system includes:

[0030] Data acquisition module: collects current and voltage data in real time from smart sensors on distribution network cables;

[0031] Data processing module: preprocessing, filtering and normalization of raw data;

[0032] Threshold setting module: sets current and voltage thresholds according to normal operating conditions and allowed overload levels;

[0033] Comparison module: compares real-time data with preset thresholds and determines whether to trigger an early warning;

[0034] Early warning trigger module: When an overload risk is detected, an early warning is triggered and a notification is sent to relevant personnel.

[0035] Furthermore, in the early warning system, the current threshold is set to 350 amperes and the voltage threshold is set to 11k volts.

[0036] Furthermore, the early warning system compares the prediction result with the set current threshold and voltage threshold to obtain the following status:

[0037] Normal operation: When both the current and voltage values ​​are lower than the threshold, the system will not trigger an early warning;

[0038] Current overload: When the current value exceeds 350 amperes, the system will trigger a current overload warning;

[0039] Voltage overload: When the voltage value exceeds 11k volts, the system will trigger a voltage overload warning;

[0040] Simultaneous overload: When both the current and voltage values ​​exceed their respective thresholds, the system will trigger a simultaneous overload warning.

[0041] Furthermore, the alarm mode of the early warning trigger module is selected according to the urgency of the system, including:

[0042] Audible alarm: for emergency situations that require immediate action;

[0043] Light Alert: For non-emergency situations that require attention but not immediate action;

[0044] SMS alerts: Suitable for situations where remote personnel need to be notified.

[0045] The present invention also provides a distribution cable operation warning device for implementing the above method, including a sensor, a microcontroller and a warning system, wherein the sensor is used to monitor the current, voltage and temperature parameters of the cable; the microcontroller is electrically connected to the sensor and the warning system for processing data and triggering a warning.

[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present invention provides a distribution cable operation early warning method and device, which can establish an effective baseline model to monitor and predict the operating status of distribution network cables, so as to timely discover and deal with overload problems and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a distribution cable operation early warning method, comprising the following steps:

[0052] Step S1: Data collection:

[0053] Install current and voltage sensors to monitor the current and voltage on the cable in real time. The sensors are directly installed on the cable, distribution box or centralized monitoring device. Data collection has edge computing function to preliminarily filter invalid data and mark abnormal data.

[0054] Step S2: Data processing and dynamic analysis:

[0055] The acquired current and voltage are input into the dynamic analysis module based on machine learning, and the long short-term memory network model is used for multivariate feature extraction and trend prediction to identify potential anomalies and risk points that may cause failures.

[0056] Step S3: Dynamic baseline establishment:

[0057] A baseline model is established based on historical operating data and environmental variables combined with an adaptive algorithm.

[0058] Step S4: Intelligent threshold setting:

[0059] Through model training, the current, voltage and temperature threshold ranges are adaptively adjusted; when the operating data exceeds the confidence interval or exceeds the dynamic threshold, an early warning is triggered.

[0060] Step S5: Design of hierarchical early warning system:

[0061] The early warning system handles abnormalities in a graded manner based on a multi-level risk assessment mechanism, including mild alarms, moderate alarms and severe alarms; the early warning information is sent to maintenance personnel in real time through the Internet of Things platform in the form of sound, light signals, text messages or cloud monitoring interface, and provides the specific fault location and potential causes.

[0062] Step S6: Fault location and self-healing function:

[0063] After the warning is triggered, the fault location is accurately located through distributed sensor nodes.

[0064] Through the above steps, an effective baseline model can be established to monitor and predict the operating status of distribution network cables, so as to timely detect and deal with overload problems and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0065] In step S2, the long short-term memory network model in deep learning is used to predict the current and voltage risks. Assuming that the input data is X'(t), the output is the predicted value at the future moment.

[0066]

[0067] Among them, LSTM() is a long short-term memory network model.

[0068] The implementation method of the long short-term memory network model is:

[0069] f t =σ(W f ·[h t-1 ,X′(t)]+b f )

[0070] i t =σ(W i ·[h t-1 ,X′(t)]+b i )

[0071] C t =f t ·C t-1 +i t tanh(W C ·[h t-1 ,X′(t)]+b C )

[0072] o t =σ(W o ·[h t-1 ,X′(t)]+b o )

[0073] h t =o t tanh(C t )

[0074] Among them, f t It is the forget gate, t is the input gate, C tis the cell state, o t is the output gate, h t is the hidden state and σ is the sigmoid activation function.

[0075] The prediction results of the long short-term memory network model are adaptively adjusted, and the adjustment strategy is:

[0076]

[0077] In step S3, the following indicators are used to establish a baseline model:

[0078] A1. Average value: Calculate the average value of current and voltage data as an indicator of the baseline model. The average value reflects the current and voltage levels under normal operating conditions.

[0079] A2. Standard Deviation: Calculate the standard deviation of current and voltage data to measure the degree of dispersion of the data. A larger standard deviation indicates a larger fluctuation, which is an indication of abnormal conditions.

[0080] A3. Extreme values: Determine the extreme values ​​of current and voltage data, including maximum and minimum values. These extreme values ​​serve as a reference for the baseline model to detect whether there are conditions that exceed the normal range.

[0081] A4. Percentile: Calculate the percentile of current and voltage data to determine the range in which most of the data are concentrated under normal operating conditions.

[0082] In step S5, the early warning system includes:

[0083] Data acquisition module: collects current and voltage data in real time from smart sensors on distribution network cables;

[0084] Data processing module: preprocessing, filtering and normalization of raw data;

[0085] Threshold setting module: sets current and voltage thresholds according to normal operating conditions and allowed overload levels;

[0086] Comparison module: compares real-time data with preset thresholds and determines whether to trigger an early warning;

[0087] Early warning trigger module: When an overload risk is detected, an early warning is triggered and a notification is sent to relevant personnel.

[0088] In this embodiment, the current threshold is set to 350 amperes and the voltage threshold is set to 11k volts in the early warning system. The early warning system compares the prediction result with the set current threshold and voltage threshold to obtain the following status:

[0089] Normal operation: When both the current and voltage values ​​are lower than the threshold, the system will not trigger an early warning;

[0090] Current overload: When the current value exceeds 350 amperes, the system will trigger a current overload warning;

[0091] Voltage overload: When the voltage value exceeds 11k volts, the system will trigger a voltage overload warning;

[0092] Simultaneous overload: When both the current and voltage values ​​exceed their respective thresholds, the system will trigger a simultaneous overload warning.

[0093] Specifically, the current threshold mainly depends on the current carrying capacity of the distribution cable:

[0094] Cable current carrying capacity calculation: For example, some common 10kV cable cross-sections and their corresponding current carrying capacity are as follows:

[0095] 3×95mm 2 Aluminum core cable: Maximum current carrying capacity is about 250A

[0096] 3×150mm 2 Aluminum core cable: Maximum current carrying capacity is about 350A

[0097] 3×240mm 2 Aluminum core cable: Maximum current carrying capacity is about 450A

[0098] Depending on the cable specifications, the current threshold can be set. If the system uses 3×150mm 2 For aluminum core cables, the current threshold can be set close to 350A. When the current exceeds this value, an overcurrent warning is triggered.

[0099] For 10kV distribution systems, the voltage variation range is usually limited by national or industry standards. According to relevant power standards in China, the voltage tolerance of a 10kV system is usually ±10% of the rated voltage. Therefore, the voltage threshold is generally set to 11kV.

[0100] The alarm mode of the early warning trigger module is selected according to the urgency of the system, including:

[0101] Audible alarm: for emergency situations that require immediate action;

[0102] Light Alert: For non-emergency situations that require attention but not immediate action;

[0103] SMS alerts: Suitable for situations where remote personnel need to be notified.

[0104] This embodiment also provides a distribution cable operation warning device for implementing the above method, including a sensor, a microcontroller and a warning system, wherein the sensor is used to monitor the current, voltage and temperature parameters of the cable; the microcontroller is electrically connected to the sensor and the warning system to process data and trigger a warning.

[0105] Through such an early warning system solution, it can be ensured that when the cable is overloaded, relevant personnel can be notified in time and take appropriate measures to prevent potential safety accidents.
