Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cable monitoring, and in particular to a system and method for monitoring abnormal discharge of cable joints. Background Art

[0002] my country's power grid is spread all over the country. The losses caused during the transmission process waste a lot of electricity resources. This includes not only the losses caused by the cable transmission itself, but also the losses caused by abnormal discharge of cable joints. In order to avoid excessive losses, abnormal discharge of cable joints must be monitored and maintained on a daily basis.

[0003] Abnormal discharge of cable joints is mainly caused by suspended discharge due to loose iron cores and clamps. Electrical breakdown occurs in the air gap, and discharge can be completed in an instant. At this time, electrical energy will also be converted into heat energy in an instant. The gas in the discharge center will expand due to the heat energy and propagate outward through sound waves. This also means that abnormal discharge of cable joints is usually accompanied by abnormal vibrations. These vibration signals contain various frequency components and have a wide frequency band. Therefore, the vibration signals of cable joints are collected in real time, and by analyzing the vibration signals, it can be determined whether abnormal discharge occurs in the cable joints. Monitoring long-distance transmission cables not only requires distributed sensors, but also traditional electrical sensors are susceptible to electromagnetic interference due to the discharge phenomenon, so there is currently no better means to monitor them.

[0004] In response to the requirements of long-distance, real-time, high-precision and anti-electromagnetic interference in cable monitoring tasks, distributed fiber optic sensing technology has attracted widespread attention due to its unique advantages. It can not only work normally under high-voltage conditions, but also realize long-distance and real-time cable monitoring tasks. Summary of the invention
