Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fault detection, and in particular to a method for detecting faults in a distribution automation terminal. Background Art

[0002] Traditional distribution automation terminal fault detection methods rely on preset thresholds and rules to make individual judgments on various equipment indicators.

[0003] In actual applications, field data is often affected by electromagnetic interference, equipment aging and environmental changes, causing some indicators to occasionally deviate from the normal range. Since each indicator operates independently, when a certain indicator suddenly changes, the system will generally immediately trigger a fault alarm, causing the overall status assessment to decline significantly, while other indicators remain in good condition. This phenomenon causes the fault detection response to be too sensitive and can easily lead to false alarms or unnecessary maintenance dispatches, bringing additional burdens to power grid operation and maintenance.

[0004] In this context, although some traditional solutions can smooth judgments by increasing data redundancy, adopting multi-level warnings or fuzzy logic, these methods are difficult to strike a balance between real-time performance and accuracy. When a device has a slight abnormality at a certain moment, traditional methods are difficult to effectively distinguish whether it is a temporary fluctuation or a potential fault hazard, resulting in the overall evaluation index being greatly affected by a single abnormal data. In long-term operation, it will cover up the real root problem of the fault and increase the risk of misjudgment. Therefore, a distribution automation terminal fault detection method is urgently needed to solve such problems. Summary of the invention

[0012] As a preferred solution of the distribution automation terminal fault detection method described in the present invention, the staged early warning system is specifically: a) When a status indicator is detected to deviate from the normal range and become abnormal, the overall status evaluation will be slightly adjusted downward only at the early stage of the warning, and the duration of the abnormal indicator will be recorded; b) When the duration of the anomaly exceeds a preset time window, the weight of the indicator is gradually increased.

[0018] At the same time, the present invention introduces a phased early warning system, which integrates the abnormal indicators within the monitoring period and dynamically corrects the initial weight only after the abnormality continues to reach the preset threshold. This phased and graded adjustment mechanism effectively distinguishes between short-term sporadic abnormalities and continuous abnormalities, preventing the system from misjudging the equipment status due to instantaneous fluctuations.

[0019] The present invention sets multiple groups of redundant sensors on key status indicators and adopts a distributed data aggregation algorithm to perform weighted fusion on multi-sensor data, thereby reducing the interference of a single sensor failure on the overall judgment and further improving the robustness of the data.

[0020] The present invention forms a comprehensive evaluation function of the equipment status by weighted summing the smoothed weights and aggregated data, and sets a safety threshold. When the overall evaluation value is lower than the threshold, a fault warning is immediately triggered, providing an accurate and reliable basis for operation and maintenance decisions.

[0021] In summary, the present invention effectively improves the deficiency of the traditional method that a single indicator abnormality causes overall imbalance, improves the sensitivity and stability of fault detection, and reduces the risk of false alarms and missed alarms.

The staged warning system can distinguish between short-term abnormalities and continuous abnormalities, and only significantly adjust the status after the abnormal accumulation reaches a certain level, thereby preventing occasional abnormalities from causing drastic fluctuations in the overall status and improving the accuracy of the warning. The triangular fuzzy number is determined based on the pre-set normal working range of the equipment; The phased early warning system is as follows: a) When a status indicator is detected to deviate from the normal range and become abnormal, the overall status evaluation will be slightly adjusted downward only at the early stage of the warning, and the duration of the abnormal indicator will be recorded; b) when the duration of the abnormality exceeds the preset time window, gradually increase the weight of the indicator; In step S2, a dynamic weight smoothing function is used to perform time integral calculation on each abnormal indicator value, and only when the cumulative abnormal effect of a certain indicator exceeds a preset threshold value, the overall state is triggered to downgrade; In step S2, the step of using a dynamic weight smoothing function to perform time integral calculation on each abnormal index value is as follows: Using dynamic weight smoothing function, the index The final weight is defined as : , in, Represents the final index after smoothing Weight, represents the initial weight, represents the dynamic smoothing coefficient, Indicator The accumulated abnormal time during the monitoring period, Indicator The abnormal duration threshold, Indicates the length of the monitoring period; Specifically, a dynamic weight smoothing function is used here to normalize the abnormal cumulative effect of the indicator and combine it with the smoothing coefficient to smoothly adjust the initial weight.
