[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] The present application solution can be implemented based on a terminal with data processing capabilities, which can be a computer, cloud, server, etc.

[0046] Next, combine Figure 1 The method for locating a fault in a distribution network of the present application may include the following steps:

[0047] Step S110: Acquire line laying information and line switch information of the distribution network, determine the line branch point from the line laying information, and determine the line switch end from the line switch information.

[0048] Specifically, line layout information may include line physical parameters. These parameters include line type (e.g., overhead line, cable), line length, line cross-sectional area, and line material (e.g., copper, aluminum). Line physical parameters may also include line direction coordinates (e.g., longitude and latitude, tower location), and branch point locations (e.g., branch node number, branch angle). Line physical parameters may also include line connection relationships, such as the connection sequence between busbars and branches, and transformer connection locations.

[0049] Line laying information can also include line topology, which can specifically include line segmentation information, such as the division of main lines and branch lines; the connection relationship between lines and equipment, such as the connection points between lines and transformers and load nodes; and line impedance parameters, such as positive-sequence impedance and zero-sequence impedance.

[0050] Line switch information can include switch device attributes. Switch device attributes include switch type (e.g., circuit breaker, disconnector, section switch, tie switch); switch model, rated voltage / current, breaking capacity; and the physical location of the switch in the distribution network, such as the specific node on a particular line.

[0051] The circuit breaker information may also include the switch operating status, such as the real-time opening and closing status, the switch action history record, the connection relationship between the switch and the circuit breaker, etc.

[0052] A first fault recorder may be arranged at the line branch point, and a second fault recorder may be arranged at the end of the line switch.

[0053] It is understandable that the line branch point is the bifurcation hub of the line topology in the distribution network, and the fault traveling wave will produce complex phenomena such as reflection and refraction here. By determining the branch point through the line laying information and deploying the first fault recorder, the traveling wave signals from different branches can be collected synchronously to avoid missing key features in single-ended monitoring. For example, when a fault occurs in the middle section of a branch line, the traveling wave monitored at the line branch point contains bidirectional traveling wave components of the main line and the branch, which can effectively distinguish the branch where the fault is located. The end of the line switch is the physical dividing point of the line section in the distribution network. By determining its location through the line switch information and deploying the second fault recorder, the distribution network can be divided into switch interval units. When a fault occurs, the traveling wave monitored at the end of the line switch can quickly determine whether the fault is located in the section controlled by the switch, thereby achieving preliminary isolation of the fault section.

[0054] Step S120: monitor a first fault traveling wave at a line branch point, and monitor a second fault traveling wave at a line switch end.

[0055] Specifically, the first fault traveling wave can be obtained by monitoring a first fault recorder, and the second fault traveling wave can be obtained by monitoring a second fault recorder.

[0056] It's understandable that by comparing the polarity and amplitude of the traveling waves at the branch point and at the end of the line switch, it's possible to quickly determine whether the fault is located in the section between them. For example, if a positive traveling wave is detected at the branch point but no traveling wave of the same polarity is detected at the end of the line switch, the fault can be determined to be on the other branch of the line, eliminating the need for detailed troubleshooting of the current section and shortening fault location time.

[0057] Step S130: Calculate the monitoring time difference between the first fault traveling wave and the second fault traveling wave.

[0058] Specifically, the monitoring time difference may represent the time interval between the moment when the first fault recorder receives the first fault traveling wave and the moment when the second fault recorder receives the second fault traveling wave.

[0059] It can be understood that step S130 converts the abstract traveling wave propagation characteristics into specific physical distances through the precise calculation of the time difference between the two ends, providing a core algorithm support with both accuracy and efficiency for fault location in the distribution network, and is a key technical link in achieving rapid self-healing of the smart distribution network.

[0060] Step S140: locating the fault point in the distribution network according to the traveling wave velocity of the first fault traveling wave, the traveling wave velocity of the second fault traveling wave, and the monitoring time difference.

[0061] Specifically, by synchronously collecting the traveling wave signal at the line branch point and the line switch end, the time difference between the two is calculated ( ), combined with the known distance between the two monitoring points (L) and the traveling wave velocity ( 、 ), the fault point can be located by the following formula:

[0062]

[0063] Understandably, traditional single-ended ranging requires a preset traveling wave velocity, and the actual velocity can vary depending on factors such as line material and fault type. Dual-ended ranging utilizes the traveling wave velocities of two monitoring points simultaneously, calibrating them in the calculation and significantly reducing the impact of velocity errors on the results. For example, when monitoring points are located on overhead lines and cables, the dual-ended model automatically adapts to the different velocity parameters to ensure accurate positioning.

[0064] Furthermore, when multiple faults occur in a distribution network, the traveling waves generated by different faults will form independent time difference signatures at the monitoring point. By parallelizing the calculation of multiple sets of time difference data, multiple fault points can be located simultaneously, avoiding the inefficiency of traditional single-ended methods that require troubleshooting each fault individually. This approach is particularly suitable for complex distribution network scenarios.

[0065] The fault location method for the distribution network provided in this embodiment obtains the line laying information and line switch information of the distribution network, determines the line branch point from the line laying information, determines the line switch end from the line switch information, monitors the first fault traveling wave at the line branch point, monitors the second fault traveling wave at the line switch end, calculates the monitoring time difference between the first fault traveling wave and the second fault traveling wave, and locates the fault point in the distribution network based on the traveling wave speed of the first fault traveling wave, the traveling wave speed of the second fault traveling wave, and the monitoring time difference. It can be seen that by measuring the traveling wave at the line branch point and the line switch end, combining the time difference and the traveling wave speed of the two traveling waves, the fault point can be accurately located even when the fault occurs in an area with a topological change. Compared with single-end traveling wave monitoring, dual-end monitoring has higher accuracy, making minor faults easier to detect during the inspection window period, thereby avoiding the expansion of minor faults.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to further improve the accuracy of distribution network fault location, the distribution network fault location provided by the present application may further include:

[0067] S1. Based on the line laying information and line switch information, a digital twin model of the distribution network line laying is established.

[0068] Among them, the line laying digital twin model can include line switches.

[0069] Specifically, the process of establishing a digital twin model for line laying may include:

[0070] S11. Obtain a set of equipment information of the distribution network.

[0071] The device information set may include device information of multiple devices in the distribution network. The device information of each device may include the name, model, specifications, manufacturer information, and location information of the device in the distribution network.

[0072] S12. Generate a device topology ledger of the distribution network based on the device information set.

[0073] S13. Based on the equipment topology ledger, line laying information and line switch information, a digital twin model of the distribution network’s line laying is established.

[0074] Specifically, various sensors can be deployed for various devices to record the real-time data of the detection equipment, so as to establish a digital three-dimensional model based on the actual line laying information of the distribution network, and then, in conjunction with the equipment topology ledger, establish a digital twin model of the line laying of the distribution network.

[0075] It is understandable that the line laying digital twin model can accurately reflect the topology, equipment parameters and operating status of the distribution network.

[0076] S2. Transmitting information about the first fault traveling wave and the second fault traveling wave to the line laying digital twin model in real time, so that the line laying digital twin model adjusts the line switch on and off based on the information about the first fault traveling wave and the second fault traveling wave.

[0077] Specifically, after the information of the first fault traveling wave and the second fault traveling wave is transmitted to the line laying digital twin model in real time, the line laying digital twin model can simulate the propagation process of the fault traveling wave in the distribution network line, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the line switch, adjusting the line current direction and traveling wave direction, and locating the fault point.

[0078] Understandably, multiple fault points may exist in a distribution network, and adjustments to line switches can be used to perform multiple measurements and locate faults. Therefore, the line-laying digital twin model can adjust the opening and closing of line switches to adjust the current direction and the direction of the traveling wave, allowing for multiple fault location measurements to accurately locate the fault point.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the line laying digital twin model mentioned in the above embodiments is further introduced. The line laying digital twin model may include several edge processing areas.

[0080] Specifically, each edge processing area may include multiple groups of fault recorders. Each edge processing area is equipped with edge terminals.

[0081] For each edge terminal in the edge processing area, the edge terminal locates the line fault based on the fault traveling wave collected by the fault recorder in the edge processing area and the opening and closing information of the line switch in the edge processing area.

[0082] Edge terminals can communicate directly with fault recorders and circuit breakers within their region, reducing cross-regional data transmission. Even when the distribution network communication network is congested or interrupted, they can still independently locate the fault, avoiding system failures caused by central node failure and improving reliability in extreme situations.

[0083] It's understandable that the edge terminals in each edge processing zone can independently process the fault recorder data within that zone, such as the arrival times and waveform characteristics of the first and second fault traveling waves, as well as the line switch opening and closing information within that zone. This eliminates the need for the edge terminals to upload data to a central server for centralized calculation, compressing the fault location decision cycle from seconds to milliseconds. This is particularly suitable for distribution network protection scenarios with extremely high timeliness requirements. For example, when a fault occurs in an edge zone, the edge terminal can complete the traveling wave time difference calculation and fault section identification within 5ms, which is over 90% faster than traditional centralized architectures.

[0084] Furthermore, the edge terminal can obtain the opening and closing status of the line switches in the area in real time, such as the opening of the section switch and the closing of the tie switch, and dynamically update the local topology model based on this. For example, when a section switch is opened, resulting in the area being divided into two sub-sections, the edge terminal automatically adjusts the line parameters in the fault location algorithm to avoid positioning deviations caused by the lag of the static topology model. Each edge processing area corresponds to a physical section of the distribution network (such as a feeder branch or substation). The edge terminal can locate the fault to the "section level" (error <1km) or even the "node level" (error <100m). Combined with the line switch status, it can directly determine the switchgear that needs to be operated, achieve precise isolation, and reduce the scope of power outages in non-fault areas.
