[0002] In modern power systems, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the distribution network is of crucial importance. However, traditional fault location techniques often struggle to accurately determine the specific location of a fault when faced with complex network structures. Especially in the case of arc faults with non-linear characteristics, traditional methods prove inadequate. Due to the transient and non-linear nature of arc faults, accurately identifying and locating them using conventional means poses a significant challenge. This not only affects the speed of fault handling but also may lead to increased blindness in maintenance work, thereby prolonging the power outage time and affecting the user's power consumption experience.

New devices are constantly being connected, and the proportion of distributed energy sources is increasing year by year. These changes have placed higher requirements on existing fault detection and diagnosis methods. Regrettably, current methods show significant lag in adapting to these new conditions or fault patterns. They may not be able to quickly respond to changes in the grid structure or the emergence of new fault types, thus affecting the safety and reliability of the entire system. For example, in some areas with a high proportion of renewable energy access, traditional methods may not be able to effectively identify new fault patterns caused by the intermittency and volatility of new energy.

Obviously, the accompanying drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other accompanying drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative efforts.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, an intelligent distribution network fault detection and diagnosis method includes the following steps: Step S1: Configure multi-source sensing devices at key nodes of the distribution network, and construct a communication network architecture to obtain compliance curves and alarm information from the distribution automation system and the advanced metering infrastructure; Step S2: Capture the fault traveling wave head by high-frequency sampling, locate it by double-ended time difference measurement, extract the arrival time of the traveling wave through wavelet transform, and calculate the energy entropy value in the high-frequency band to identify the non-linear characteristics of the arc fault, specifically through the following methods: 1. High-frequency sampling and data acquisition Use high-speed data acquisition equipment to perform high-frequency sampling on the current or voltage signals at both ends of the power line (the sampling frequency is usually at the MHz level).

[0026] The acquired data includes the fault traveling wave head signal.

[0027] 2. Double-ended time difference positioning Through double-ended measurement technology, record the time t1 and t2 when the fault traveling wave arrives at both ends of the line.

[0028] Use the traveling wave propagation speed V and the line length L to calculate the fault point position through the following formula: , In the formula, t1 is the time when the traveling wave arrives at section A, t2 is the time when the traveling wave arrives at end B, and v is the traveling wave propagation speed; 3. Wavelet transform to extract the arrival time of the traveling wave Perform wavelet transform on the acquired high-frequency signal to extract the arrival time of the traveling wave head.

[0029] Use the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) formula: , where W(a, b) is the wavelet coefficient, k is the conversion coefficient, f(t) is the original signal, is the wavelet basis function, a is the scaling parameter, b is the translation parameter, and δ is the error term; 4. Calculate the energy entropy value of the high-frequency band Calculate the energy entropy value of the high-frequency components after wavelet decomposition to identify the non-linear characteristics of the arc fault.

[0030] The energy entropy is calculated as follows: , , where pi is the energy proportion of the i-th frequency band, Ei is the energy of the i-th frequency band, and N is the total number of frequency bands.

[0031] The larger the energy entropy value of the high-frequency band, the more obvious the non-linear characteristics of the signal.

[0032] 5. Fault feature identification Based on the change trend of the energy entropy value of the high-frequency band and combined with the time-domain features extracted by wavelet transform, judge whether there is an arc fault.

[0033] If the energy entropy value is significantly higher than the threshold in the normal operating state, it is determined as an arc fault.

[0034] Step S3: Detect the over-limit of current / voltage amplitude, calculate the impedance value and compare it with the preset threshold, determine the fault section, fuse the PMU and SCADA for multi-source information fusion, construct a relationship diagram of distribution network equipment, and output the comprehensive diagnosis result, specifically in the following way: 1. Data acquisition PMU: Collect real-time high-precision voltage and current phasor data, including amplitude and phase.

[0035] SCADA: Obtain discrete event information such as switch status and protection action signals.

[0036] 2. Amplitude over-limit detection For each line, set the safe upper and lower limits of current and voltage (Imin, Imax and Vmin, Vmax).

[0037] Compare whether the real-time monitored current and voltage values exceed these preset upper and lower limits: If I < Imin or I > Imax or V < Vmin or V > Vmax, an alarm is triggered.

[0038] If I < Imin or I > Imax or V < Vmin or V > Vmax, an alarm is triggered.

[0039] 3. Impedance Calculation and Comparison Use Ohm's law to calculate the line impedance Z: Z = V / I, Compare the calculated impedance value with the impedance threshold within the predefined normal operating range to determine if it is abnormal.

[0040] 4. Fault Section Determination Based on the impedance calculation results and the phase angle difference information provided by the PMU, use power system analysis methods such as power flow analysis or short - circuit calculation to locate the possible fault positions.

[0041] Combine the switch status information of the SCADA system to assist in determining the specific fault section.

[0042] 5. Multi - source Information Fusion Integrate the continuous time - series data (such as voltage and current phasors) provided by the PMU with the discontinuous event information (such as switch tripping) provided by the SCADA.

[0044] 6. Constructing the Distribution Network Equipment Relationship Diagram Establish the connection relationship diagram between distribution network equipment according to the network topology structure.

[0045] Mark the location of the fault and its influence range in the relationship diagram.

[0046] 7. Outputting the Comprehensive Diagnosis Result Based on all the above analysis results, generate a report including the fault type, location, severity, and recommended operation measures. Step S4: Through the fault indication information of adjacent nodes, determine the fault section through the consistency algorithm, combine with the graph model of the distribution network topology, mark the position of the sectionalizing switch, based on the optimization objective function algorithm, output the optimal fault point coordinates, summarize the results to generate the positioning topology diagram, and implement it in the following ways: 1.

Each node and edge should contain its attribute information, such as capacity, impedance, etc.

[0048] 2. Fault Indication Information Analysis Collect fault indication information from each node, which may come from devices such as overcurrent protection devices and fault indicators.

[0049] For each node \(v_i\in V\), record whether it detects a fault signal. Assume that if node \(v_i\) detects a fault, then mark it as \(F(v_i)=1\); otherwise, \(F(v_i)=0\).

[0050] 3. Use the Consensus Algorithm to Determine the Fault Section Apply a distributed consensus algorithm on the graph model \(G\), such as a consensus algorithm based on message passing, to let adjacent nodes exchange fault indication information and gradually converge to a consistent fault area judgment.

[0051] The calculation formula can be determined according to the specific consensus algorithm, but usually involves weighted averaging or logical operations on the fault states of neighbor nodes to update its own state.

[0052] 4. Mark the Positions of Sectionalizing Switches Clearly mark the positions of all sectionalizing switches in the graph model. This step is crucial for subsequent fault isolation.

[0053] The sectionalizing switches can be regarded as special edges and marked with different symbols or colors in the graph model.

[0054] 5. Calculate the Optimal Fault Point Coordinates Based on the Optimization Objective Function Define an optimization objective function that takes into account factors such as minimizing the sum of the distances from the fault point to each fault indication node.

[0055] The objective function can be expressed as: , where \(w_i\) is the weight coefficient, which can be set according to the importance of different nodes; is the distance from the fault point to node \(v_i\).

[0056] 6. Output the Optimal Fault Point Coordinates and Generate the Location Topology Map Use numerical optimization methods to solve the above objective function to obtain the optimal fault point coordinates.

[0057] Map the obtained fault point coordinates back to the distribution network topology graph model and mark the specific fault location.

[0058] Use a graphical tool to draw the final location topology diagram, clearly showing the fault point and its affected range.

[0059] 7. Result Summarization and Report Generation Summarize all the analysis results, including the exact location of the fault point, the affected area, the recommended repair measures, etc.

[0060] Step S5: Inject a fault through the RTDS real-time digital simulation model to verify the algorithm accuracy and output a fault report. The specific implementation is as follows: 1. Preparation Phase Build a simulation model: Build a detailed topology model of the distribution network in RTDS, including power sources, lines, loads, switching equipment, etc.

[0061] Ensure that the model parameters (such as line impedance, transformer turns ratio, load characteristics, etc.) are consistent with the actual system.

[0062] 2. Inject Fault and Collect Data Inject Fault: Use the fault injection function of RTDS to inject a preset fault signal into the model at a specified time point. For example: , where is the normal operating voltage, is the fault voltage, is the fault start time, is the fault end time.

[0063] Collect Data: Export the time series data of key electrical quantities (such as voltage, current, power, etc.) from RTDS.

[0064] Record the fault indication information (such as overcurrent signal, zero-sequence current, etc.) of each node and branch.

[0065] 3. Apply the Algorithm for Fault Location Input Data Processing: Use the collected data as input and pass it to the fault location algorithm.

[0066] Perform necessary preprocessing on the input data, such as filtering, normalization, etc.

[0067] Apply the Consistency Algorithm: Update the node states based on the consistency algorithm and gradually converge to a consistent fault area judgment.

[0068] The calculation formula is: , where $s_{i,k}$ is the state value of the $i$-th node at the $k$-th iteration, $N(i)$ is the set of neighbors of node $i$, and $\alpha$ is the step size coefficient.

[0069] Optimization objective function solving: Define the objective function to minimize the weighted sum of the distances between the fault points and the fault indication nodes, use an optimization algorithm to solve the optimal fault point coordinates, verify the correctness of the algorithm, and output a fault report.

[0070] The present invention can capture the fault traveling wave head by high-frequency sampling, use the double-ended time difference location technology, and combine wavelet transform to extract the arrival time of the traveling wave, so as to calculate the position of the fault point more accurately. This helps to quickly and accurately determine the fault location, reduce the power outage time and maintenance costs.
