[0002] Currently, with the gradual construction and application of smart grids, the power system is developing rapidly towards automation and intelligence. Among them, remote automatic meter reading, as one of the key links in the construction of smart grids, is playing an increasingly important role. A remote automatic meter reading system generally consists of three parts: a collection terminal, a concentrator, and a master station system. The concentrator plays a connecting role, realizing the collection of data from the collection terminal and the upload to the master station. The stable and reliable operation of the concentrator directly affects the working status of the entire remote meter reading system.

[0003] At present, carrier communication technology is commonly used in remote meter reading systems to achieve the collection and transmission of terminal data. Carrier communication is a communication technology that uses power lines as channels, with advantages such as wide coverage and low investment, and is widely used in data transmission between collection terminals and concentrators in the power system. However, carrier signals are easily interfered by the power grid environment, and the volatility of signal quality is relatively large, which poses a severe test to the stability of the concentrator. Once the concentrator fails or operates abnormally, it will seriously affect the normal operation of the entire remote meter reading system, bringing great inconvenience to the operation and management of power enterprises.

[0004] Therefore, how to effectively monitor and diagnose the working status of the carrier concentrator, and timely discover and handle potential faults has become a technical problem to be solved urgently. Some existing methods, such as through the alarm information of the concentrator itself, manual inspection, etc., all have problems such as narrow detection range and rough detection means, and it is difficult to comprehensively and accurately reflect the actual working status of the concentrator.

[0080] The specific implementation manners of the above steps will be described in detail below:

[0081] The specific implementation of step S10 is as follows: The main purpose of this step is to obtain various operating parameter data related to the measured carrier concentrator. First, the load rate data of the carrier concentrator to be measured is collected in real time through a current sensor connected to the load end. Secondly, a dedicated signal acquisition unit is set at the upstream and downstream communication interfaces of the carrier concentrator to be measured to collect the data characteristics of the carrier signal in real time, including indicators such as amplitude, frequency, phase, and bit error rate. These data reflect the stability and reliability of the carrier communication signal. Through the analysis and modeling of these data, it helps to further judge the working state of the carrier concentrator to be measured.

[0082] The specific implementation of step S20 is as follows: The main purpose of this step is to obtain the operating data related to the power grid system where the measured carrier concentrator is located. First, dedicated power grid parameter monitoring equipment is installed on the power grid equipment in the area where the carrier concentrator to be measured is located to collect indicators such as power grid voltage, current, power factor, and harmonics. These indicators reflect the working state of the power grid and have a certain correlation with the operating state of the carrier concentrator. By obtaining these power grid parameter data, it can provide an important reference basis for subsequent analysis of the working state of the carrier concentrator.

[0083] The specific implementation of step S30 is as follows: The main purpose of this step is to establish a mathematical model of the power grid parameters changing with time through the change trend of the power grid parameter data within 24 hours. First, the data such as the power grid voltage V(t), current I(t), power factor PF(t), etc. collected in step S20 are modeled with respect to time t. Among them, V(t) can be expressed as:

[0084]

[0085] In the formula, V0 is the voltage reference value, A k is the amplitude of the k-th harmonic component, f k is the harmonic frequency, φ k is the phase angle, ∈ v (t) is the measurement error. Similarly, similar mathematical models can be established for I(t) and PF(t). By fitting the power grid parameter data within 24 hours, a curve reflecting the change of the power grid parameters with time can be obtained, providing an important reference basis for subsequent analysis.

[0086] The specific implementation of step S40 is as follows: The main purpose of this step is to deeply analyze the collected carrier signal and decompose it into a stable component and a variable component. First, the Fourier transform is used to perform harmonic decomposition on the carrier signal s(t) to obtain the frequency-domain signal S(ω):

[0087]

[0088] Among them, ω is the angular frequency and j is the imaginary unit. Harmonic decomposition can reflect the spectral characteristics of the carrier signal, including the stable fundamental component and the varying harmonic components.

[0089] Secondly, the Mallat algorithm is used to perform wavelet decomposition on the carrier signal, and the low-frequency stable component c j,k and the high-frequency varying component d j,k :

[0090] c j+1,k = ∑ n h n-2k c j,n ;

[0091] d j+1,k = ∑ n g n-2k c j,n ;

[0092] In the formula, h n and g n are the coefficients of the orthogonal wavelet basis function. Through harmonic decomposition and wavelet decomposition, the stable basic components and the varying interference components in the carrier signal can be effectively distinguished, providing basic data for subsequent model establishment and state judgment.

[0093] The specific implementation of step S50 is as follows: The main purpose of this step is to explore the internal relationship between the characteristics of the carrier signal and the power grid parameters. Using the method of multiple nonlinear regression, a functional relationship between the varying component Y t of the carrier signal and the eigenvalue X ti of the power grid parameters is established:

[0094]

[0095] Among them, α i is the regression coefficient, ∈ t is the residual term, T is the number of sampling points, and m is the number of characteristics. Through this regression model, the internal relationship between the variability of the carrier signal and the power grid parameters can be reflected, providing a basis for subsequent state assessment.

[0096] The specific implementation of step S60 is as follows: The main purpose of this step is to further construct a coefficient matrix reflecting the varying characteristics of the carrier signal according to the model established in step S50. Specifically, a varying coefficient matrix M in the following form is constructed:

[0097]

[0098] Among them, the calculation formula for the matrix element m ij is:

[0099]

[0100] In the formula, λ is the regularization coefficient, and the default value is 0.01. is the predicted value at time t. The change coefficient matrix M reflects the influence degree of each eigenvalue on the change of the carrier signal, and provides an important basis for the subsequent comprehensive evaluation.

[0101] The specific implementation of step S70 is as follows: The main purpose of this step is to calculate the comprehensive index reflecting the stability of the carrier concentrator according to the change coefficient matrix M constructed in step S60. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0102]

[0103] Among them, I comp is the change comprehensive index, w ij is the weight coefficient, γ is the adjustment coefficient, and the default value is 0.5. The weight coefficient w ij is obtained by using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The specific steps include: 1) Construct the judgment matrix A, and the element a ij represents the importance degree of the i-th factor relative to the j-th factor; 2) Calculate the eigenvector W and the maximum eigenvalue λ max ; 3) Conduct the consistency test. When the consistency ratio CR < 0.1, the normalized eigenvector W is used as the weight vector w ij . The change comprehensive index I comp comprehensively reflects the change characteristics of the carrier signal and provides a basis for the subsequent stability judgment.

[0104] The specific implementation of step S80 is as follows: The main purpose of this step is to comprehensively consider the load rate and the change comprehensive index to judge the stability state of the carrier concentrator to be measured. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0105]

[0106] In the formula, S state is the stability state index, L rate is the load rate data. The determination of the stable state judgment threshold adopts the method combining expert scoring and statistical analysis: 1) Collect the stability scores of 50 power system experts under different working conditions; 2) Standardize the scoring data; 3) Calculate the probability density distribution of each scoring interval; 4) Determine the threshold according to the inflection point of the probability density curve. When S state < 0.6, it is judged as a stable state. When 0.6 ≤ S state < 0.8, it is judged as a metastable state. When S state ≥ 0.8, it is judged as an unstable state. By comprehensively considering the load situation and the change characteristics, the actual working state of the carrier concentrator to be measured can be judged more accurately.

[0107] The second aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein program instructions are stored in the computer-readable storage medium, and when the program instructions run on a computer, they are used to execute the above-mentioned method for detecting the state of an electric meter remote reading carrier concentrator.

[0108] The third aspect of the present invention provides a system for detecting the state of an electric meter remote reading carrier concentrator, which includes the above-mentioned computer-readable storage medium.

[0109] Specifically, the principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0110] First, the method collects the load rate data of the carrier concentrator to be measured in real time, as well as the carrier signal characteristic data collected by the signal acquisition units set at the upstream and downstream communication interfaces of the concentrator, including carrier signal waveforms, intensities, frequencies, phases, error rates, etc. At the same time, the operation parameter data of the power grid where the concentrator is located, such as voltage, current, power factor, etc., are also obtained. These data provide a basis for subsequent analysis and modeling.

[0111] Secondly, by performing harmonic decomposition and wavelet decomposition on the collected carrier signal data, it can be decomposed into stable basic components and changing interference components. Harmonic decomposition can reflect the spectral characteristics of the carrier signal, while wavelet decomposition can further distinguish between low-frequency stable components and high-frequency changing components.

[0112] Next, the method establishes a multivariate non-linear regression model between the changing components of the carrier signal and the power grid parameters to explore the internal relationship between the two. This modeling method greatly improves the calculation efficiency compared with the traditional one-by-one calculation method and reduces the consumption of the concentrator chip resources. At the same time, a regularization term is introduced to improve the stability and generalization performance of the model.

[0113] Based on the above regression model, the method constructs an evaluation index that comprehensively reflects the stability of the carrier concentrator. This index not only considers the influence degree of each eigenvalue on the change of the carrier signal, but also introduces the maximum eigenvalue of the matrix, which can more comprehensively describe the working state of the concentrator.

[0114] Finally, the method uses the load rate data and the comprehensive index as the basis for judging the stability of the concentrator. By combining the expert scoring method and statistical analysis, the thresholds of three stable states are determined, so as to accurately judge whether the concentrator to be measured is in a stable state, a metastable state or an unstable state.

[0139]

[0140] where PF0 is the reference value of the power factor, C k is the amplitude of the k-th harmonic component, ψ k is the phase angle, ∈ pf (t) is the measurement error.

[0141] By fitting the grid parameter data within 24 hours, a mathematical model reflecting the variation of grid parameters over time can be obtained, providing an important basis for subsequent analysis.

[0142] The specific implementation of step S40 is as follows:

[0146] Secondly, perform wavelet decomposition on the carrier signal using the Mallat algorithm to further obtain the low-frequency stable component c j,j and the high-frequency varying component d j,k :

[0147] c j+1,k = ∑ n h n-2k c j,n ;

[0148] d j+1,k = ∑ n g n-2k c j,n ;

[0159] The calculation formula for the matrix element m ij is:

[0160]

[0161] where λ is the regularization coefficient, defaulting to 0.01, is the predicted value at time t.

[0162] The coefficient of variation matrix M reflects the influence degree of each eigenvalue on the variation of the carrier signal, providing an important basis for the subsequent comprehensive evaluation.

[0163] The specific implementation of step S70 is as follows:

[0164] According to the coefficient of variation matrix M constructed in step S60, an evaluation index I that comprehensively reflects the stability of the carrier concentrator can be calculated comp :

[0165]

[0166] where w ij is the weight coefficient, γ is the adjustment coefficient, and the default value is 0.5.

[0167] The weight coefficient w ij is obtained by using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The specific steps include:

[0168] 1) Construct a judgment matrix A, and the element a ij represents the importance degree of the i-th factor relative to the j-th factor;

[0169] 2) Calculate the eigenvector W and the maximum eigenvalue λ max ;

[0170] 3) Conduct a consistency test. When the consistency ratio CR < 0.1, the normalized eigenvector W is used as the weight vector w ij .

[0171] The variation comprehensive index I comp comprehensively reflects the variation characteristics of the carrier signal, providing a basis for the subsequent stability judgment.

[0172] The specific implementation of step S80 is as follows:

[0173] Taking into account the load rate L rate and the variation comprehensive index I comp , an index S reflecting the stability state of the to-be-tested carrier concentrator can be calculated state :

[0174]

[0175] The determination of the stable state judgment threshold adopts a combination of expert scoring method and statistical analysis:

[0176] 1) Collect the stability scores of 50 power system experts under different working conditions;

[0177] 2) Standardize the scoring data:

[0178] 3) Calculate the probability density distribution of each scoring interval where \(K(\cdot)\) is the kernel function and \(h\) is the bandwidth parameter;

[0179] 4) Determine the threshold according to the inflection point of the probability density curve: When \(S\) state \(< 0.6\), it is determined to be in a stable state; when \(0.6\leq S\) state \(< 0.8\), it is determined to be in a metastable state; when \(S\) state \(\geq 0.8\), it is determined to be in an unstable state.

[0180] By comprehensively considering the load conditions and variation characteristics, the actual working state of the carrier concentrator to be measured can be judged more accurately.

[0181] To better understand and implement the present invention, the following provides Embodiment 2 of a specific application scenario of the present invention: A certain power enterprise is responsible for the remote automatic meter reading work in a certain area. There are a total of 10 carrier concentrators in this area, which are responsible for collecting the meter data of more than 100 acquisition terminals and transmitting the data to the master station system through carrier communication. In order to comprehensively evaluate the working states of these carrier concentrators, the power enterprise decides to use the detection method proposed by the present invention for diagnosis.

[0182] First, the power enterprise installs dedicated signal acquisition units on the 10 carrier concentrators respectively to collect the load rate data and carrier signal characteristic data of each concentrator in real time. At the same time, grid parameter monitoring devices are also installed on the main distribution lines in this area to collect index data such as grid voltage, current, and power factor in real time. All these data are transmitted to the monitoring center of the power enterprise through optical fiber communication to provide a basis for subsequent analysis and evaluation.

[0183] In the monitoring center, the staff first preprocess and sort out the collected data. Taking the carrier concentrator numbered Concentrator A as an example, part of the data collected within 24 hours is shown in Table 1.

[0184] Table 1 - Operating data of Carrier Concentrator A

[0185]

[0186] As Figure 2 shown, it is the 24-hour operating parameter change trend chart of Carrier Concentrator A. This chart uses a hyperbola to show the change trends of the load rate and signal strength of Carrier Concentrator A within 24 hours. The red curve represents the change of the load rate, and the blue curve represents the change of the signal strength. The abscissa is time (hours), and the ordinate is the parameter value. It can be seen from the figure that the load rate fluctuates around 65%, and the fluctuation range is about ±5%; the signal strength fluctuates around 36 dB, and the fluctuation range is relatively small, about ±1 dB. Both parameters show some periodic change characteristics.

[0187] Meanwhile, the power grid parameter monitoring devices in this area have also collected corresponding power grid operation data, and some of the data are shown in Table 2.

[0188] Table 2 - Power Grid Operation Data

[0189] Time Voltage (kV) Current (A) Power factor 00:00 10.5 285.6 0.92 01:00 10.4 281.2 0.91 02:00 10.3 276.5 0.90 …… …… …… …… 23:00 10.7 291.3 0.93

[0190] With these basic data, the detection method proposed by the present invention will be specifically implemented as follows:

[0191] Step S10: Real-time obtain the load rate data of the carrier concentrator to be measured and the collected carrier signal characteristic data. Taking concentrator A as an example, its load rate data and carrier signal characteristic data within 24 hours are shown in Table 1. These data provide a basis for subsequent analysis and evaluation.

[0192] Step S20: Obtain the power grid operation data of the area where the carrier concentrator to be measured is located. Similarly, taking it as an example, the power grid voltage, current, and power factor data of its location area are shown in Table 2. There is a certain correlation between these power grid parameter data and the working state of the carrier concentrator, which is very helpful for analyzing the internal relationship between the two.

[0193] As Figure 3 shown, it is a heat map for power grid parameter correlation analysis. This map shows the correlation between the three power grid parameters of voltage, current, and power factor in the form of a heat map. The redder the color, the stronger the positive correlation, and the closer the value is to 1, the stronger the correlation. It can be seen from the figure that the correlation coefficient between voltage and current is 0.85, indicating a strong positive correlation; the correlation coefficient between voltage and power factor is 0.72, and the correlation coefficient between current and power factor is 0.68, both showing a medium degree of positive correlation.

[0194] Step S30: Establish a mathematical model for the change of power grid parameters over time. Taking the power grid voltage V(t) as an example, the following model can be established:

[0195]

[0196] where V0 is the reference value of the voltage, taking 10.5 kV; A k is the amplitude of the k-th harmonic component, f k is the harmonic frequency, taking [100, 200, 300,..., 1300] Hz respectively; φ k is the phase angle; ∈ v (t) is the measurement error. Similarly, similar mathematical models can also be established for the power grid current I(t) and the power factor PF(t). By fitting the data within 24 hours, a mathematical curve reflecting the change trend of power grid parameters over time can be obtained.

[0197] As shown Figure 4 in the figure, it is a graph of the harmonic analysis results of the carrier signal. This graph shows the amplitude distribution of the carrier signal at different frequencies in the form of a bar graph. The abscissa is the frequency (Hz), ranging from 0 to 1300 Hz; the ordinate is the amplitude, with the unit of V·s-1. It can be seen from the figure that as the frequency increases, the amplitude of the harmonic components shows an exponential decay trend, indicating that the main energy of the carrier signal is concentrated in the low-frequency band.

[0198] Step S40: Perform harmonic decomposition and wavelet decomposition on the collected carrier signal data. Taking the carrier signal s(t) of concentrator A as an example, first perform harmonic decomposition using Fourier transform to obtain the frequency-domain signal S(ω):

[0199]

[0200] This harmonic decomposition can reflect the spectral characteristics of the carrier signal, including the stable fundamental component and the varying harmonic components.

[0201] Secondly, use the Mallat algorithm to perform wavelet decomposition on the carrier signal to further obtain the low-frequency stable component c j,k and the high-frequency varying component d j,k :

[0202] c j+1,k =∑ n h n-2k c j,n ;

[0203] d j+1,k =∑ n g n-2k c j,n ;

[0204] In the formula, h n and g n are the coefficients of the orthogonal wavelet basis functions. Through harmonic decomposition and wavelet decomposition, the stable basic components and the varying interference components in the carrier signal can be effectively distinguished.

[0205] Step S50: Establish the functional relationship between the varying component of the carrier signal and the grid parameters. Taking concentrator A as an example, taking its carrier signal varying component Y t as the dependent variable, and the grid voltage X 1t , the grid current X 2t and the grid power factor X 3t as the independent variables, establish the following multiple nonlinear regression model:

[0206]

[0207] Through fitting calculations, the regression coefficient α can be obtained. i and the residual term ∈ t . This modeling method can reflect the internal relationship between the variability of the carrier signal and the grid parameters.

[0208] Step S60: Construct a coefficient matrix that reflects the variability characteristics of the carrier signal. Taking concentrator A as an example, according to the regression model established in step S50, construct the following variability coefficient matrix M:

[0209]

[0210] where the matrix element m ij is calculated by the formula:

[0211]

[0212] This variability coefficient matrix M reflects the influence degree of each grid parameter on the variability of the carrier signal.

[0213] Step S70: Calculate the evaluation index that comprehensively reflects the stability of the carrier concentrator. According to the variability coefficient matrix M constructed in step S60, the variability comprehensive index I comp can be calculated as:

[0214]

[0215] where w ij is the weight coefficient, determined to be [0.45, 0.35, 0.20] through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This I comp index comprehensively reflects the variability characteristics of the carrier signal and provides a basis for subsequent stability judgment.

[0216] Step S80: Judge the stability state of the carrier concentrator based on the load rate data and the variability comprehensive index. Taking concentrator A as an example, its load rate data L rate and the variability comprehensive index I comp are as follows:

[0217] L rate = {65.2, 68.1, 72.4,..., 63.8};

[0218] I com p = 6.72;

[0219] Substitute these two indicators into the stability state evaluation formula:

[0220]

[0221] According to the pre-determined threshold, when S state < 0.6, it is judged as the stable state, when 0.6 ≤ Sstate When it is less than 0.8, it is determined to be in a metastable state. When S state ≥ 0.8, it is determined to be in an unstable state. Therefore, the stability state evaluation result of "Concentrator A" is unstable.

[0222] Through the above analysis process, the power enterprise comprehensively diagnosed the working states of 10 carrier concentrators, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0223] Table 3 - Stability State Evaluation Results of 10 Carrier Concentrators

[0224]

[0225]

[0226] It can be seen from Table 3 that among the 10 carrier concentrators, 3 are in an unstable state, 4 are in a metastable state, and 3 are in a stable state.

[0227] As Figure 5 shown, it is the comprehensive index distribution diagram of the changes of the carrier concentrator. This diagram uses a bar chart to show the comprehensive index distribution of the changes of 10 carrier concentrators (A - J). The abscissa is the concentrator number, and the ordinate is the comprehensive index of change I comp . The color of the bar chart also reflects the stability state: green indicates stable (I comp < 5.5), yellow indicates metastable (5.5 ≤ I comp ≤ 6.5), and red indicates unstable (I comp > 6.5). It can be seen from the figure that the comprehensive index of change of Concentrator F is the highest, reaching 7.08, while the comprehensive index of change of Concentrator G is the lowest, being 4.56.

[0228] The power enterprise can take corresponding maintenance measures for concentrators in different states: for unstable concentrators, emergency repairs need to be carried out as soon as possible to eliminate possible hardware failures; for concentrators in a metastable state, monitoring and maintenance need to be strengthened to detect and eliminate potential hidden dangers in a timely manner; for stable concentrators, the inspection intensity can be appropriately relaxed to save maintenance costs on the premise of ensuring normal operation.

[0229] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
