[0038] Figure 1 The flowchart of the method for determining the ice thickness of a power transmission line according to an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a method for determining the ice thickness of a transmission line is provided, wherein the transmission line includes an ice monitoring device, the ice monitoring device includes a microwave sensor and an image acquisition device, and the microwave sensor is installed on a tower pole at the same height and parallel to the transmission line, comprising the following steps:

[0039] Step 101: Acquire a current microwave transmission signal and a current microwave reception signal collected by a microwave sensor.

[0040] The microwave sensor is installed on a tower pole that is at the same height and parallel to the transmission line to simulate the ice condition at the same height and wind direction as the transmission line. The microwave sensor can send out a current microwave transmission signal that penetrates the ice on its surface, and can receive a returned current microwave reception signal. After collecting the current microwave reception signal of the current microwave transmission signal, the microwave sensor can send it to the processor. The processor can obtain the current microwave transmission signal and the current microwave reception signal.

[0041] Step 102: Determine the current ice thickness of the transmission line according to the first phase of the current microwave transmission signal and the second phase of the current microwave reception signal.

[0042] The processor may determine a first phase of the current microwave transmission signal, that is, the first phase refers to the phase of the current microwave transmission signal, and may determine a second phase of the current microwave reception signal, that is, the second phase refers to the phase of the current microwave reception signal. The processor may determine the current ice thickness of the transmission line according to the first phase and the second phase. Specifically, the processor may determine the phase change degree according to the first phase and the second phase, and then determine the current ice thickness of the transmission line based on the phase change degree.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, determining the current ice thickness of the transmission line based on the first phase of the current microwave transmission signal and the second phase of the current microwave reception signal includes: determining the phase difference between the first phase and the second phase; determining the current ice thickness based on the phase difference and a preset compensation coefficient, wherein the preset compensation coefficient is determined based on the historical phase difference under different ice thicknesses.

[0044] The processor may determine a phase difference between the first phase and the second phase, and may determine the current ice thickness according to the phase difference and a preset compensation coefficient, wherein the preset compensation coefficient may be calibrated and tested in advance, and may be specifically determined according to historical phase differences under different ice thicknesses.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the current ice thickness is determined by formula (1):

[0046]

[0047] Among them, c refers to the current ice thickness, k refers to the preset compensation coefficient, α1 refers to the first phase, and α2 refers to the second phase.

[0048] Step 103: Obtain the historical ice thickness of the power transmission line at the previous moment, and determine the current ice change rate of the power transmission line according to the historical ice thickness and the current ice thickness.

[0049] Although microwave sensors have high sensitivity, they are easily disturbed by freezing rain, resulting in unstable measured data. In order to improve measurement accuracy, the processor can obtain the historical ice thickness of the transmission line at the previous moment, and determine the current ice change rate of the transmission line based on the historical ice thickness and the current ice thickness. Among them, the current ice change rate can be used to characterize the ice change between the current moment and the previous moment. The time interval between the current moment and the previous moment can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the time interval can be set to 1 minute. When determining the current ice change rate, the thickness difference between the current ice thickness and the historical ice thickness can be used, and the ratio between the thickness difference and the time interval can be determined as the current ice change rate.

[0050] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, the method also includes: when the current ice coating thickness is greater than a preset value and the current ice coating change rate is stable within a preset range, determining that the ice coating state of the transmission line is an iced state, and the final ice coating thickness of the transmission line is the current ice coating thickness.

[0051] The preset value can be set according to the actual situation, for example, the preset value can be set to zero. The preset range can be customized according to the actual situation, for example, the preset range can be ±1 mm. When the current ice thickness is greater than the preset value and the current ice change rate is stable within the preset range, it can be said that ice exists and the ice situation is relatively stable. At this time, the processor can determine that the ice state of the transmission line is an ice state, and can determine that the final ice thickness of the transmission line is the current ice thickness.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: when the current ice coating thickness is a preset value, determining that the ice coating state of the transmission line is an ice-free state, and the final ice coating thickness of the transmission line is a preset value.

[0053] When the current ice thickness is a preset value, it can be indicated that there may be no ice at this time. At this time, the processor can determine that the ice state of the transmission line is an ice-free state, and can determine that the final ice thickness of the transmission line is a preset value. The preset value can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the preset value can be set to zero.

[0054] Step 104: When the current ice thickness is greater than a preset value and the current ice change rate is not stabilized within a preset range, obtain meteorological data monitored by a meteorological sensor.

[0055] When the current ice thickness is greater than the preset value and the current ice change rate is not stable within the preset range, it may indicate the presence of long-term disturbance factors. At this time, the meteorological data monitored by the meteorological sensor is obtained to determine the current ice status.

[0056] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, the meteorological data includes temperature data and humidity data, and the method further includes: when the temperature data and the humidity data both meet preset conditions, determining that the icing state of the transmission line is an ice-water mixed state; when the temperature data or the humidity data does not meet the preset conditions, determining that the icing state of the transmission line is an iced state.

[0057] Among them, the meteorological data includes temperature data and humidity data. For example, the temperature data may include the current daily average temperature, the daily maximum temperature, and the daily minimum temperature. When the temperature data is within the preset temperature threshold range, it can be determined that the temperature data meets the preset conditions. Among them, the preset temperature threshold range can be set according to actual conditions. For example, between -5°C and 0°C, the transmission line is more prone to rime-type icing, which is the most harmful to the transmission line. At this time, the preset temperature threshold range can be set to -5°C to 0°C.

[0058] When the humidity data is within the preset humidity threshold range, it can be determined that the humidity data meets the preset conditions. The preset humidity threshold range can be set according to the actual situation. For example, when the humidity is greater than 80%, the transmission line is prone to rime-type icing, which is the most harmful to the transmission line. At this time, the preset humidity threshold range can be set to more than 80%. When both the temperature data and the humidity data meet the preset conditions, the processor can determine that the icing state of the transmission line is an ice-water mixed state. When the temperature data or the humidity data does not meet the preset conditions, the processor can determine that the icing state of the transmission line is an iced state. At this time, the final icing thickness of the transmission line can be determined to be the current icing thickness.

[0059] Step 105: When it is determined according to meteorological data that the icing state of the power transmission line is a mixed state of ice and water, an image to be detected for the microwave sensor acquired by an image acquisition device is obtained.

[0060] When it is determined according to meteorological data that the icing state of the transmission line is a mixed state of ice and water, the processor can obtain the image to be detected for the microwave sensor collected by the image acquisition device. The image acquisition device can be a device with image acquisition function such as a camera, a video camera, a camera, a recorder, etc. In order to obtain a large number of images to be detected in real time, an intelligent camera can be used. After capturing the image to be detected, the intelligent camera can promptly transmit the collected image to be detected to the processor by wireless transmission or wired transmission.

[0061] Step 106: Determine the final ice thickness of the transmission line according to the image to be detected.

[0062] The processor can determine the final ice thickness of the power transmission line according to the image to be detected. Specifically, the processor can identify the image to be detected, extract the edge contour, and thus determine the final ice thickness of the power transmission line.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, determining the final ice thickness of the transmission line based on the image to be detected for the microwave sensor acquired by the image acquisition device includes: performing Gaussian filtering on the image to be detected to obtain a filtered image; determining the pixel gradient and gradient amplitude of each pixel in the filtered image; determining the edge information of each pixel in the filtered image based on the pixel gradient and gradient amplitude; extracting the ice edge contour of the microwave sensor based on the edge information of each pixel in the filtered image; and determining the final ice thickness of the transmission line based on the ice edge contour and the cross-sectional diameter of the microwave sensor when not covered with ice.

[0064] Image edge detection is easily affected by noise, so the processor can first perform Gaussian filtering on the image to be detected to obtain a filtered image. A two-dimensional Gaussian function can be used when performing Gaussian filtering, and the two-dimensional Gaussian function can be expressed as:

[0065]

[0066] Among them, G(x,y) represents the value of the two-dimensional Gaussian function at the pixel point (x,y), and σ represents the standard deviation.

[0067] For each pixel in the filtered image, the processor can determine the pixel gradient and gradient amplitude of each pixel in the filtered image. Specifically, the Prewitt operator convolution kernel can be used to calculate the gradient Gx in the x direction and the gradient Gy in the y direction of each pixel. Among them, the gradient Gx and the gradient Gy are determined by the following formula:

[0068]

[0069] Here, I refers to the filtered image.

[0070] The processor may determine the gradient amplitude of each pixel point according to the pixel gradient of each pixel point. Specifically, the gradient amplitude may be determined by the following formula:

[0071]

[0072] Here, G refers to the gradient magnitude.

[0073] The processor can determine the edge information of each pixel in the filtered image based on the pixel gradient and gradient amplitude. Specifically, the maximum threshold T can be set according to the image quality and actual outer contour requirements. max and the minimum threshold T min , if the gradient amplitude G is greater than the maximum threshold T max , then the corresponding pixel point is a strong edge point. If the gradient amplitude G is greater than the minimum threshold T min And less than the maximum threshold T max , then the corresponding pixel point is a weak edge point. If the gradient amplitude G is less than the minimum threshold T min , then the corresponding pixel is not an edge point.

[0074] The processor can extract the ice-covered edge contour of the microwave sensor based on the edge information of each pixel in the filtered image. The ice-covered edge contour includes the upper contour and the lower contour of the ice-covered edge. Specifically, the strong edge point and the weak edge point adjacent thereto can be connected and extracted to obtain the upper contour and the lower contour of the ice-covered edge. The processor can obtain the average distance between the upper contour and the lower contour of the ice-covered edge, and determine the average value of the difference between the average distance and the cross-sectional diameter of the microwave sensor when not iced, that is, to obtain the final ice-covered thickness of the transmission line. The final ice-covered thickness of the transmission line in this case is determined by the following formula:

[0075]

[0076] Where c refers to the final ice thickness of the transmission line, d1 refers to the average distance between the upper and lower contours of the ice edge, and d2 refers to the cross-sectional diameter of the microwave sensor when it is not covered with ice.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, a flow chart of another method for determining ice thickness of a transmission line is provided.

[0078] A microwave sensor is installed on a tower that is at a height equivalent to and parallel to the monitored transmission line. When determining the ice thickness, the microwave sensor can emit a microwave signal that penetrates the surface ice with a phase of α1, and can receive a microwave signal with a phase of α2. The ice thickness is calculated based on the phase change of the signal. After that, the ice state can be determined. Specifically, after waiting for one minute, if the calculated ice thickness is greater than zero and the rate of change is stable within ±1mm, the output state is ice and the ice thickness at this time. If the calculated ice thickness is equal to zero, the output state is no ice. Otherwise, there may be long-term disturbance factors. If the temperature and humidity are within the set threshold range, the output state is "ice and water mixed". At this time, the camera can be started to obtain images, denoise the images, extract contours, and then calculate the ice thickness. If the calculated ice thickness is equal to zero, the output state is no ice. If the calculated ice thickness is greater than zero, the output state is ice.

[0079] Through the above technical scheme, the current microwave transmission signal and the current microwave reception signal collected by the microwave sensor are obtained; the current ice thickness of the transmission line is determined according to the first phase of the current microwave transmission signal and the second phase of the current microwave reception signal; the historical ice thickness of the transmission line at the previous moment is obtained, and the current ice change rate of the transmission line is determined according to the historical ice thickness and the current ice thickness; when the current ice thickness is greater than a preset value and the current ice change rate is not stabilized within a preset range, the meteorological data monitored by the meteorological sensor is obtained; when it is determined according to the meteorological data that the ice state of the transmission line is an ice-water mixed state, the image to be detected for the microwave sensor collected by the image acquisition device is obtained; the final ice thickness of the transmission line is determined according to the image to be detected, the influence of factors such as the environment and the ice formation process is reduced, and the ice thickness of the transmission line can be accurately judged.

[0080] Figure 1 and 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining ice thickness of a power transmission line in one embodiment. Figure 1 and 2 The steps in the flowchart are shown in sequence as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified in this document, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, Figure 1 and 2 At least part of the steps may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least part of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0081] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a device 300 for determining the ice thickness of a transmission line is provided, comprising a signal acquisition module 301, a first calculation module 302, a change rate determination module 303, a state determination module 304, an image acquisition module 305 and a second calculation module 306, wherein:

[0082] The signal acquisition module 301 is used to acquire the current microwave transmission signal and the current microwave reception signal collected by the microwave sensor.

[0083] The first calculation module 302 is used to determine the current ice thickness of the transmission line according to the first phase of the current microwave transmission signal and the second phase of the current microwave reception signal.

[0084] The change rate determination module 303 is used to obtain the historical ice thickness of the transmission line at the previous moment, and determine the current ice change rate of the transmission line according to the historical ice thickness and the current ice thickness.

[0085] The state determination module 304 is used to obtain meteorological data monitored by the meteorological sensor when the current ice thickness is greater than a preset value and the current ice change rate is not stable within a preset range.

[0086] The image acquisition module 305 is used to acquire the image to be detected for the microwave sensor acquired by the image acquisition device when it is determined according to the meteorological data that the icing state of the transmission line is a mixed state of ice and water;

[0087] The second calculation module 306 is used to determine the final ice thickness of the transmission line according to the image to be detected.

[0088] The microwave sensor is installed on a tower pole that is at the same height and parallel to the transmission line to simulate the ice condition at the same height and wind direction as the transmission line. The microwave sensor can send out a current microwave transmission signal that penetrates the ice on its surface, and can receive a returned current microwave reception signal. After collecting the current microwave reception signal of the current microwave transmission signal, the microwave sensor can send it to the signal acquisition module 301. The signal acquisition module 301 can acquire the current microwave reception signal of the current microwave transmission signal.

[0089] The first calculation module 302 can determine the first phase of the current microwave transmission signal, that is, the first phase refers to the phase of the current microwave transmission signal, and can determine the second phase of the current microwave reception signal, that is, the second phase refers to the phase of the current microwave reception signal. The first calculation module 302 can determine the current ice thickness of the transmission line according to the first phase and the second phase. Specifically, the first calculation module 302 can determine the phase change degree according to the first phase and the second phase, and then determine the current ice thickness of the transmission line based on the phase change degree.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, the first calculation module 302 determines the current ice thickness of the transmission line according to the first phase of the current microwave transmission signal and the second phase of the current microwave reception signal, including: determining the phase difference between the first phase and the second phase; determining the current ice thickness according to the phase difference and a preset compensation coefficient, wherein the preset compensation coefficient is determined according to the historical phase difference under different ice thicknesses.

[0091] The first calculation module 302 can determine the phase difference between the first phase and the second phase, and can determine the current ice thickness according to the phase difference and a preset compensation coefficient. The preset compensation coefficient can be calibrated and tested in advance, and can be specifically determined according to the historical phase difference under different ice thicknesses.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the current ice thickness is determined by formula (1):

[0093]

[0094] Among them, c refers to the current ice thickness, k refers to the preset compensation coefficient, α1 refers to the first phase, and α2 refers to the second phase.

[0095] Although microwave sensors have high sensitivity, they are easily disturbed by freezing rain, resulting in unstable measured data. In order to improve measurement accuracy, the change rate determination module 303 can obtain the historical ice thickness of the transmission line at the previous moment, and can determine the current ice change rate of the transmission line based on the historical ice thickness and the current ice thickness. Among them, the current ice change rate can be used to characterize the ice change between the current moment and the previous moment. The time interval between the current moment and the previous moment can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the time interval can be set to 1 minute. When determining the current ice change rate, the thickness difference between the current ice thickness and the historical ice thickness can be used, and the ratio between the thickness difference and the time interval can be determined as the current ice change rate.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present application, the state determination module 304 is also used to: when the current ice coating thickness is greater than a preset value and the current ice coating change rate is stable within a preset range, determine that the ice coating state of the transmission line is an iced state, and the final ice coating thickness of the transmission line is the current ice coating thickness.

[0097] The preset value can be set according to the actual situation, for example, the preset value can be set to zero. The preset range can be customized according to the actual situation, for example, the preset range can be ±1 mm. When the current ice thickness is greater than the preset value and the current ice change rate is stable within the preset range, it can be said that ice exists and the ice situation is relatively stable. At this time, the state determination module 304 can determine that the ice state of the transmission line is an ice state, and can determine that the final ice thickness of the transmission line is the current ice thickness.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the state determination module 304 is also used to: when the current ice coating thickness is a preset value, determine that the ice coating state of the transmission line is an ice-free state, and the final ice coating thickness of the transmission line is a preset value.

[0099] When the current ice thickness is a preset value, it can be said that there may be no ice at this time. At this time, the state determination module 304 can determine that the ice state of the transmission line is an ice-free state, and can determine that the final ice thickness of the transmission line is a preset value. The preset value can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the preset value can be set to zero.

[0100] When the current ice thickness is greater than the preset value and the current ice change rate is not stable within the preset range, it may indicate the presence of long-term disturbance factors. At this time, the state determination module 304 can obtain meteorological data monitored by the meteorological sensor and determine the icing state of the transmission line based on the meteorological data.

[0101] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, the meteorological data includes temperature data and humidity data, and the state determination module 304 is also used to: when the temperature data and the humidity data both meet the preset conditions, determine that the icing state of the transmission line is an ice-water mixed state; when the temperature data or the humidity data does not meet the preset conditions, determine that the icing state of the transmission line is an iced state.

[0102] Among them, the meteorological data includes temperature data and humidity data. For example, the temperature data may include the current daily average temperature, the daily maximum temperature, and the daily minimum temperature. When the temperature data is within the preset temperature threshold range, it can be determined that the temperature data meets the preset conditions. Among them, the preset temperature threshold range can be set according to actual conditions. For example, between -5°C and 0°C, the transmission line is more prone to rime-type icing, which is the most harmful to the transmission line. At this time, the preset temperature threshold range can be set to -5°C to 0°C.

[0103] When the humidity data is within the preset humidity threshold range, it can be determined that the humidity data meets the preset conditions. The preset humidity threshold range can be set according to the actual situation. For example, when the humidity is greater than 80%, the transmission line is prone to icing due to sleet, which is the most harmful to the transmission line. In this case, the preset humidity threshold range can be set to be above 80%. When both the temperature data and the humidity data meet the preset conditions, the state determination module 304 can determine that the icing state of the transmission line is an ice-water mixed state. When the temperature data or the humidity data does not meet the preset conditions, the state determination module 304 can determine that the icing state of the transmission line is an iced state.

[0104] When it is determined according to meteorological data that the icing state of the transmission line is a mixed state of ice and water, the image acquisition module 305 can acquire the image to be detected for the microwave sensor acquired by the image acquisition device. The image acquisition device can be a device with image acquisition function such as a camera, a video camera, a camera, a recorder, etc. In order to acquire a large number of images to be detected in real time, an intelligent camera can be used. After capturing the image to be detected, the intelligent camera can transmit the acquired image to be detected to the image acquisition module 305 in a timely manner by wireless transmission or wired transmission.

[0105] The second calculation module 306 may determine the final ice thickness of the power transmission line according to the image to be detected. Specifically, the second calculation module 306 may identify the image to be detected, extract edge contours, and thus determine the final ice thickness of the power transmission line.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, determining the final ice thickness of the transmission line based on the image to be detected for the microwave sensor acquired by the image acquisition device includes: performing Gaussian filtering on the image to be detected to obtain a filtered image; determining the pixel gradient and gradient amplitude of each pixel in the filtered image; determining the edge information of each pixel in the filtered image based on the pixel gradient and gradient amplitude; extracting the ice edge contour of the microwave sensor based on the edge information of each pixel in the filtered image; and determining the final ice thickness of the transmission line based on the ice edge contour and the cross-sectional diameter of the microwave sensor when not covered with ice.

[0107] Image edge detection is easily affected by noise, so the second calculation module 306 can first perform Gaussian filtering on the image to be detected to obtain a filtered image. A two-dimensional Gaussian function can be used when performing Gaussian filtering, and the two-dimensional Gaussian function can be expressed as:

[0108]

[0109] Among them, G(x,y) represents the value of the two-dimensional Gaussian function at the pixel point (x,y), and σ represents the standard deviation.

[0110] For each pixel in the filtered image, the second calculation module 306 can determine the pixel gradient and gradient amplitude of each pixel in the filtered image. Specifically, the Prewitt operator convolution kernel can be used to calculate the gradient Gx in the x direction and the gradient Gy in the y direction of each pixel. The gradient Gx and the gradient Gy are determined by the following formula:

[0111]

[0112] Here, I refers to the filtered image.

[0113] The second calculation module 306 can determine the gradient amplitude of each pixel point according to the pixel gradient of each pixel point. Specifically, the gradient amplitude can be determined by the following formula:

[0114]

[0115] Here, G refers to the gradient magnitude.

[0116] The second calculation module 306 can determine the edge information of each pixel in the filtered image according to the pixel gradient and the gradient amplitude. Specifically, the maximum threshold T can be set according to the image quality and the actual outer contour requirements. maxand the minimum threshold T min , if the gradient amplitude G is greater than the maximum threshold T max , then the corresponding pixel point is a strong edge point. If the gradient amplitude G is greater than the minimum threshold T min And less than the maximum threshold T max , then the corresponding pixel point is a weak edge point. If the gradient amplitude G is less than the minimum threshold T min , then the corresponding pixel is not an edge point.

[0117] The second calculation module 306 can extract the ice edge contour of the microwave sensor based on the edge information of each pixel in the filtered image. The ice edge contour includes the upper contour and the lower contour of the ice edge. Specifically, the strong edge point and the weak edge point adjacent to it can be connected and extracted to obtain the upper contour and the lower contour of the ice edge. The second calculation module 306 can calculate the average distance between the upper contour and the lower contour of the ice edge, and determine the average value of the difference between the average distance and the cross-sectional diameter of the microwave sensor when it is not iced, that is, to obtain the final ice thickness of the transmission line. The final ice thickness of the transmission line in this case is determined by the following formula:

[0118]

[0119] Where c refers to the final ice thickness of the transmission line, d1 refers to the average distance between the upper and lower contours of the ice edge, and d2 refers to the cross-sectional diameter of the microwave sensor when it is not covered with ice.

[0120] Through the above technical scheme, the current microwave transmission signal and the current microwave reception signal collected by the microwave sensor are obtained; the current ice thickness of the transmission line is determined according to the first phase of the current microwave transmission signal and the second phase of the current microwave reception signal; the historical ice thickness of the transmission line at the previous moment is obtained, and the current ice change rate of the transmission line is determined according to the historical ice thickness and the current ice thickness; when the current ice thickness is greater than a preset value and the current ice change rate is not stabilized within a preset range, the meteorological data monitored by the meteorological sensor is obtained; when it is determined according to the meteorological data that the ice state of the transmission line is an ice-water mixed state, the image to be detected for the microwave sensor collected by the image acquisition device is obtained; the final ice thickness of the transmission line is determined according to the image to be detected, the influence of factors such as the environment and the ice formation process is reduced, and the ice thickness of the transmission line can be accurately judged.

[0121] The device 300 for determining the ice thickness of a transmission line includes a processor and a memory. The signal acquisition module 301, the first calculation module 302, the change rate determination module 303, the state judgment module 304, the image acquisition module 305 and the second calculation module 306 are all stored in the memory as program units, and the processor executes the above program modules stored in the memory to implement corresponding functions.
