Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of power fault detection, and particularly to a method and device for analyzing the energy level of arc light based on polarization and harmonic waves. Background Art

[0002] An arc is a gas discharge phenomenon. When an electric current passes through some insulating media (such as air), instantaneous sparks will be generated. The generation of an arc stems from the electron emission from the surface of the contact metal and the ionization of gas atoms or molecules in the gap. The arc has the characteristics of high temperature and high heat, and its temperature can reach 3000°C - 4000°C, accompanied by the splashing of molten metal, which is extremely likely to ignite the line insulation layer and surrounding combustibles, thus triggering a fire. Therefore, in the power system, arc fault detection and identification are key issues to ensure the safe operation of the system.

[0003] Arc faults, especially in medium and low voltage distribution systems, have a relatively high occurrence probability, and their harm cannot be underestimated. Traditional arc detection technologies have many limitations. 1. Insufficient detection sensitivity: The existing technologies have limited detection capabilities for low-energy arcs (such as micro-arcs), and it is difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision monitoring. Although low-energy arcs have low energy, the harm they cause cannot be ignored. Especially in medium and low voltage distribution systems, micro-arcs may lead to a decline in the insulation performance of equipment and trigger more serious faults. 2. Lack of classification ability: Most of the existing methods can only judge whether an arc exists and cannot distinguish the types of arcs (such as short-circuit type and non-short-circuit type). Different types of arc faults have different impacts on the power system. Accurately distinguishing the types of arcs is crucial for taking targeted protection measures. 3. Weak anti-interference ability: The existing technologies are easily affected by factors such as ambient light and electromagnetic interference, resulting in false alarms or missed alarms. In the complex power system environment, ambient light and electromagnetic interference are inevitable, and weak anti-interference ability will seriously affect the reliability of the detection results. 4. Slow response speed: Some technologies rely on complex signal processing algorithms, resulting in a long response time and unable to meet the requirements of real-time monitoring. When an arc fault occurs, a quick response is the key to preventing the expansion of the fault. A slow response speed may lead to the further deterioration of the fault. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems mentioned in the existing technology, the present invention proposes a method and device for analyzing the energy level of arc light based on polarization and harmonic waves, and realizes the accurate assessment of the arc energy level by comprehensively analyzing the change rate of the polarization angle and the harmonic components of the arc light.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The present invention proposes a method for analyzing the energy level of arc light based on polarization and harmonic waves, including the following steps: S1. Obtain the change rate of the polarization angle and the harmonic characteristics of the arc light; S2. Establish an arc energy level evaluation model, input the polarization angle change rate and harmonic characteristics of the arc light into the arc energy level evaluation model, and obtain the arc energy level index; S3. Judge the arc energy level index. When the arc energy level index is greater than the set threshold, it is determined that an arc fault has occurred and the arc fault is reported. When the arc energy level index is less than the set threshold, return to S1.

[0006] As a further improvement of the present invention, the expression of the polarization angle change rate of the arc light in S1 is as follows:

[0007] In the formula: is the polarization angle change rate; is the polarization angle; is the time; is the differential of; is the differential of.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, specifically obtaining the harmonic characteristics is: collecting the current signal of the arc and extracting the harmonic information in the current signal. The expression is as follows:

[0009] In the formula: is the fundamental angular frequency; n is the harmonic order; is the amplitude of the nth harmonic; is the phase of the nth harmonic; is the current signal of the arc light.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the calculation formula for calculating the arc energy level index is as follows:

[0011] In the formula: , are the weight coefficients; N is the highest harmonic order considered; is the arc energy level index.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the specific process of S3 is: setting a dynamic threshold for the arc energy level. When the arc energy level index exceeds the threshold, it is determined as an arc fault. The expression of the dynamic threshold of the arc energy level is as follows:

[0013] In the formula, k is the safety factor; m is the number of historical data samples; E i is the arc energy level index of the i-th sample; is the dynamic threshold.

[0014] An arc light energy level analysis device based on polarization and harmonics, implemented by the method as described above, includes: A polarization light detection unit for detecting the polarization angle of the arc light; A harmonic detection unit for collecting the arc current signal and extracting harmonic information; A data processing and analysis unit for performing fusion analysis on the data collected by the polarization light detection unit and the harmonic detection unit to achieve arc energy level evaluation; An alarm display unit for sending an alarm signal when the arc energy level reaches the set threshold and for displaying the arc energy level and related parameters in real time.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the polarization light detection unit includes a polarizer, a photoelectric converter, and a signal amplifier.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the harmonic detection unit includes a current transformer, a signal acquisition module, and a fast Fourier transform analysis module.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the alarm display unit includes an audible and visual alarm and a display screen.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, the data processing and analysis unit includes a microprocessor for loading an arc energy level evaluation model.

[0019] The present invention has achieved the following technical effects compared with the prior art: The present invention realizes arc fault detection by comprehensively analyzing the polarization characteristics and harmonic characteristics of arc light. The polarization characteristics can reveal the vibration mode of arc light in a specific direction, while the harmonic characteristics reflect the proportion of different frequency components in the arc current. The combination of the two significantly improves the accuracy of arc fault detection, and both low-energy arcs (such as weak arcs caused by poor contact or slight wear) and high-energy arcs (such as strong arcs caused by severe short circuits) can be accurately identified, effectively reducing the risks of missed alarms and false alarms.

[0020] The present invention can complete the evaluation of the arc energy level within an extremely short time (less than 5 milliseconds), which exceeds the traditional detection means. Once an arc fault occurs, the system can almost immediately respond, initiate corresponding protection measures, and effectively prevent the escalation of the fault, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

[0021] The polarization light detection and harmonic detection technologies mentioned in the present invention have extremely strong anti-interference capabilities. The polarization light detection effectively eliminates environmental light interference by accurately measuring the polarization state of light; while the harmonic detection uses the unique frequency characteristics of the arc current to distinguish the arc signal from background noise, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the detection results.

[0022] In order to improve the pertinence and efficiency of fault handling, the present invention introduces a model based on the polarization characteristics and harmonic features of arc light, realizing intelligent classification of arc faults. By learning the features of a large number of arc fault samples, this model can automatically identify and distinguish different types of arc faults, not only improving the accuracy of fault identification but also providing strong support for fault handling.

[0035] In the embodiment, the polarized light detection unit is composed of a polarizer, a photoelectric converter and a signal amplifier. Among them, the polarizer is specifically a high-precision polarizer, which can directly affect the accuracy of polarization angle measurement; the photoelectric converter is preferably a high-sensitivity photodiode, which can quickly respond to the change of the optical signal and improve the real-time performance of measurement.

[0037] In the embodiment, the data processing and analysis unit specifically adopts a high-performance microprocessor, which can quickly process data, including the polarization data and harmonic data of the arc light, ensure the real-time performance, and at the same time provide high-precision floating-point operation and integer operation capabilities to ensure the accuracy of the analysis results.

[0038] In the embodiment, the alarm display unit is specifically an alarm and a display screen. The alarm can send an alarm signal when the arc energy level reaches the preset threshold value and display the arc energy level and related parameters through the display screen.

[0039] According to the device described above, as Figure 1 shown, the present invention proposes an arc light energy level analysis method based on polarization and harmonics, including the following steps: Step 1. During the propagation of the arc light, its polarization angle changes with the change of the arc energy level. The polarization angle of the arc light is measured in real time by a polarization light detection unit to obtain a polarization angle change curve, and the polarization angle change rate is calculated. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0041] The arc current signal is collected by a harmonic detection unit, and the harmonic components in the current signal are extracted by using the fast Fourier transform analysis module in the harmonic detection unit, and the amplitudes of each harmonic are calculated , and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0042] In the formula: is the fundamental angular frequency; n is the harmonic order; is the amplitude of the nth harmonic; is the phase of the nth harmonic; is the current signal of the arc light.

[0043] Step 2. An arc energy level evaluation model based on the polarization angle change rate and the harmonic amplitude is established. The polarization angle change rate and the harmonic amplitude obtained in Step 1 are input into the arc energy level evaluation model to obtain an arc energy level index. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0044] In the formula: , are the weight coefficients; N is the highest harmonic order considered; is the arc energy level index.

[0045] Step 3. According to the operating conditions of the power system and the historical data of arc faults, a dynamic threshold of the arc energy level is set. When the arc energy level index exceeds the dynamic threshold , it is determined as an arc fault, and corresponding protection measures are taken according to the energy level. The setting formula of the dynamic threshold is:

[0046] Where k is the safety factor; m is the number of historical data samples; E i is the arc energy level index of the i-th sample; is the dynamic threshold.

[0047] The arc light energy level analysis method and device of the present invention are applied to the arc fault monitoring of the switchgear in a 110 kV substation. The substation has multiple switch cabinets responsible for distributing and controlling power supply.

Verify the accuracy and real-time performance of the model through simulated arc fault data.

[0058] Harmonic characteristics: Collect the arc current signal through the harmonic detection unit, and use the fast Fourier transform analysis module to extract the amplitude An of each harmonic.

[0059] Data analysis: Carbonization path discharge caused by poor contact of copper conductor: When the arc current = 5 A: Time (ms): 0 - 50 50 - 100 100 - 200 200 - 300 300 - 500 Polarization angle change rate γ (rad / s): 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.03 0.02 Harmonic amplitude A1 (A): 1.0 1.2 1.5 1.3 1.1 Harmonic amplitude A2 (A): 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.6 0.5 Harmonic amplitude A3 (A): 0.3 0.3 0.4 0.3 0.3 Harmonic amplitude A4 (A): 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 Harmonic amplitude A5 (A): 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 Sum of harmonic components ∑A (A): 1.0 + 0.5 + 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.1 = 2.1 Arc energy level index E = 1.2×γ + 0.8×∑A = 1.2×0.02 + 0.8×2.1 = 0.0024 + 1.68 = 1.682 Dynamic threshold T = 6.0 Judgment result: E < T, no arc fault is detected.

[0060] Since the arc energy level index \(E = 1.682 < T = 6.0\), it is determined that there is no arc fault and the system is in normal operation.

[0061] When the arc current = 10 A: Time (ms): 0 - 50 50 - 100 100 - 200 200 - 300 300 - 500 Polarization angle change rate γ (rad / s): 0.04 0.06 0.08 0.07 0.05 Harmonic amplitude A1 (A): 2.0 2.5 3.0 2.7 2.3 Harmonic amplitude A2 (A): 1.0 1.2 1.5 1.3 1.1 Harmonic amplitude A3 (A): 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.7 0.6 Harmonic amplitude A4 (A): 0.4 0.4 0.5 0.4 0.4 Harmonic amplitude A5 (A): 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.2 Total harmonic component ∑A (A): 2.0 + 1.0 + 0.6 + 0.4 + 0.2 = 4.2 Arc energy level index E = 1.2×γ + 0.8×∑A = 1.2×0.04 + 0.8×4.2 = 0.0048 + 3.36 = 3.3648 Dynamic threshold T = 6.0 Judgment result: E < T, the arc energy level is relatively low, the system is in the early warning state, and the alarm and display unit makes the local indicator light flash.

[0062] Since the arc energy level index \(E = 3.3648 < T = 6.0\), it is determined that the arc energy level is relatively low, the system is in the early warning state, and the alarm and display unit makes the local indicator light flash.

[0063] When the arc current = 15A: Time (ms): 0 - 50 50 - 100 100 - 200 200 - 300 300 - 500 Polarization angle change rate γ (rad / s): 0.08 0.12 0.15 0.13 0.09 Harmonic amplitude A1 (A): 3.0 3.8 4.5 4.0 3.5 Harmonic amplitude A2 (A): 1.5 1.8 2.2 1.9 1.6 Harmonic amplitude A3 (A): 1.0 1.2 1.5 1.3 1.1 Harmonic amplitude A4 (A): 0.7 0.8 1.0 0.9 0.8 Harmonic amplitude A5 (A): 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.5 0.5 Total harmonic component ∑A(A): 3.0 + 1.5 + 1.0 + 0.7 + 0.4 = 6.6 Arc energy level index E = 1.2×γ + 0.8×∑A = 1.2×0.08 + 0.8×6.6 = 0.0096 + 5.28 = 5.2896 Dynamic threshold T = 6.0 Judgment result: E < T, the arc energy level is relatively high, the system is in the alarm state, the alarm and display unit issues a secondary alarm signal, and at the same time sends a warning signal to the monitoring center.

[0064] Since the arc energy level index \(E = 5.2896 < T = 6.0\), it is determined that the arc energy level is relatively high, the system is in the alarm state, the alarm and display unit issues a secondary alarm signal, and at the same time sends a warning signal to the monitoring center.

[0065] Performance verification Test method: Use a standard arc generator to generate arcs with known energy levels, record the detection results of the device, and compare them with the actual energy levels.

[0066] Test results: For arcs with arc energy level indexes between 0.1 and 10, the detection accuracy of the device reaches over 98%. In 100 tests, the arc energy levels were accurately identified 99 times, and there was a slight deviation once, but it was still within the acceptable range.

[0067] Specific test data are as follows: The actual energy level is 0.5, and the device detection result is 0.49 (deviation 0.01, accuracy rate 98%) The actual energy level is 2.0, and the device detection result is 2.03 (deviation 0.03, accuracy rate 98.5%) The actual energy level is 5.0, and the device detection result is 5.01 (deviation 0.01, accuracy rate 99%) The actual energy level is 8.0, and the device detection result is 8.02 (deviation 0.02, accuracy rate 99.5%) The actual energy level is 10.0, and the device detection result is 10.05 (deviation 0.05, accuracy rate 99.5%).

[0068] Response speed Test method: At the moment when the arc occurs, use a high-speed camera to record the response time of the device.

[0069] Test results: The average response time of the device is less than 5 milliseconds. In 100 tests, the response time was within 5 milliseconds in 98 cases, and in 2 cases, the response time was 5.5 milliseconds, which may be due to environmental interference or equipment aging. However, these two response times still meet the requirements of the power system for rapid response to arc faults.

[0070] Anti-interference ability Test method: Conduct arc fault simulation tests in an environment with strong electromagnetic interference (such as large motors running nearby or high-frequency equipment operating), and observe the operating status and detection results of the device.

[0071] Test results: The device operates stably in a strong electromagnetic interference environment without false alarms or missed alarms. In 100 tests, arc faults were accurately identified in 99 cases. In 1 case, due to extremely strong interference signals, there was a slight deviation in the detection results, but it was still within an acceptable range.

[0072] The specific test data is as follows: In an ambient light intensity of 3000 lx, the device operates stably without false alarms.

[0073] In the presence of 50 Hz power frequency interference, the device can still accurately identify arc faults, and the false alarm rate is 1%.

[0074] In the presence of high-frequency interference (such as 100 kHz - 1 MHz), the anti-interference ability of the device is outstanding, and the false alarm rate is 0.5%.

[0075] Based on the above test cases, the arc light energy level analysis method and device of the present invention have been successfully applied to the arc fault monitoring of switchgear in a 110 kV substation. During actual operation, the device successfully identified an arc fault caused by poor contact in the power distribution cabinet and issued a warning signal at the initial stage of the arc (0 - 50 ms), effectively preventing the further expansion of the fault. At the same time, the device accurately distinguished different types of arc faults, providing strong support for fault handling. The entire monitoring process does not require contact with live conductors, is safe and reliable, significantly improves the accuracy and response speed of arc fault detection, and effectively avoids equipment damage and power outages caused by arc faults. By real-time monitoring the arc energy level, it provides strong support for the operation and maintenance of the substation and has important practical application value in the power system.
