[0016] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.
[0017] As Figure 1As shown, the first aspect of the present invention provides a DC system grounding fault detection method, comprising the following steps: Step 1, connecting resistors of equal resistance between the positive and negative busbars of the DC system and ground to form a symmetrical resistor network, wherein the symmetrical resistor network has a star-shaped symmetrical topology; Step 2, acquiring the positive and negative voltage signals of the symmetrical resistor network and the grounding current signals of each branch; calculating the voltage deviation to ground based on the positive and negative voltage signals and comparing it with a preset threshold to generate a time-domain fault flag; performing wavelet transform and energy entropy calculation on the grounding current signals of each branch to extract high-frequency detail components; calculating the energy entropy of detail coefficients at each scale and comparing it with a dynamic threshold to generate a frequency-domain fault flag; Step 3, performing hierarchical collaborative fault judgment and fault decision: when the time-domain fault flag and the frequency-domain fault flag are triggered simultaneously, tripping is immediately executed; if only a single flag is triggered, a delayed verification mechanism is initiated, and the fault is confirmed and tripping is performed after only a single flag continues to trigger; Step 4, instructing the disconnection of the faulty branch and reporting the type and location of the fault.
[0018] In one embodiment, a preliminary fault detection is achieved by quantifying the voltage deviation to ground using a symmetrical resistor network.
[0019] Let the voltage of the positive terminal of the DC system relative to ground be... The voltage of the negative terminal of the DC system to ground is The system's capacitance to ground is C.
[0020] A symmetrical resistive network consists of the positive electrode resistance to ground. and negative electrode to ground resistance It constitutes and satisfies .
[0021] In one embodiment, under normal conditions: when the system is symmetrical, the voltages of the positive and negative terminals relative to ground satisfy:
[0022] ;
[0023] At this time, the voltage difference to ground However, the total leakage current of the system is zero.
[0024] Under fault conditions: Assuming the positive terminal is grounded through the fault resistor, the equivalent circuit equation is: ;
[0025] in This is the fault resistor.
[0026] Substituting the above equivalent circuit equation into and Solving for:
[0027] .
[0028] The simplified formula above yields: Symmetrical network positive pole-to-ground voltage: Symmetrical network negative pole-to-ground voltage: Ground voltage difference: Wherein, is the DC bus voltage.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the symmetrical resistance network quantifies the ground voltage deviation relationship as: Wherein, is the ground voltage difference, is the symmetrical network positive pole-to-ground voltage, is the symmetrical network negative pole-to-ground voltage, is the DC bus voltage, the symmetrical resistance network quantifies the ground voltage deviation relationship as: always holds true.
[0030] The parameter design and sensitivity analysis when constructing the star-shaped symmetrical topology are as follows: fault resistance The absolute values of the ground voltage and are changed, not their difference.
[0031] When in a low resistance state: Symmetrical network positive pole-to-ground voltage: .
[0032] When in a high resistance state: Symmetrical network negative pole-to-ground voltage: .
[0033] Calculate the power loss: symmetrical resistance needs to satisfy Wherein, is the power loss, is the rated power.
[0034] The symmetrical resistance network and the ground capacitance C form a low-pass filter, and the anti-capacitance interference calculation formula is: needs to ensure Wherein, is the system noise frequency, is the cut-off frequency.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the wavelet transform and energy entropy calculation convolve the ground current signal through a set of scaled and translated wavelet functions to obtain the local features of the signal at different scales and times; the wavelet transform separates the high-frequency details and low-frequency approximations of the signal through multi-scale decomposition.
[0036] It can be understood that the wavelet transform is a time-frequency analysis tool, which can decompose a signal into frequency components at multiple scales for localized analysis in time and frequency. Compared with the traditional Fourier transform, the wavelet transform includes continuous wavelet transform and discrete wavelet transform. The wavelet transform can provide the instantaneous frequency characteristics of the signal, and thus has an advantage in processing signals with mutations or transients such as ground fault signals. Energy entropy is an index for quantifying the complexity of a signal, and is particularly suitable for detecting transient changes in a signal. In wavelet transform, energy entropy can be used to evaluate the complexity of a signal by calculating the distribution of wavelet transform coefficients. The application of energy entropy in fault detection can determine whether abnormal changes have occurred in a signal, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the judgment.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, in the wavelet transform, the energy entropy can be used to evaluate the complexity of a signal by calculating the distribution of the wavelet transform coefficients; the energy entropy calculation formula is: ; wherein, is the energy entropy, j is the layer number, is the energy of the jth layer of detail coefficients , is the total energy.
[0038] By convolution with a set of scaled and translated wavelet functions, the local features of a signal at different scales and time positions are obtained, which is a continuous wavelet transform. The mathematical expression of the continuous wavelet transform is as follows:
[0039] ; wherein, is a set of scaled and translated wavelet functions (a, b) in the continuous wavelet transform, is the signal.
[0040] Wavelet basis selection and multi-resolution analysis, the ground fault transient signal contains high frequency components (such as the rapid rising edge of arc discharge), while normal noise is mostly low frequency or stationary signal. The wavelet transform separates the high frequency details (Detail Coefficients) and the low frequency approximation (Approximation Coefficients) of the signal through multi-scale decomposition.
[0041] In an embodiment, the preferred wavelet basis is db4, which has tight support and orthogonality, and the waveform matches the rising edge of the fault transient signal; the preferred decomposition layer number J=5: taking into account the high frequency resolution and computational efficiency.
[0042] Discrete wavelet transform decomposes a signal into a set of discrete high and low frequency subbands. Through multi-level decomposition, the discrete wavelet transform can extract multi-scale information of the signal, thereby effectively processing and analyzing the mutation characteristics in the signal. Decomposed into approximation coefficients and the detail coefficients D1, D2,..., DJ: the calculation formula is .
[0043] The energy entropy is calculated as the energy of the jth layer of detail coefficients , the total energy . The energy entropy S reflects the degree of disorder of the energy distribution, and the calculation formula is: ; when a fault occurs, the proportion of high-frequency energy increases, and S increases significantly.
[0044] Under normal conditions, the energy entropy of the signal is low because the signal changes smoothly and regularly. When a ground fault occurs, the current or voltage of the system will suddenly change or fluctuate, which will be manifested as a higher energy concentration in the wavelet transform coefficients. The calculation result of the energy entropy will also rise rapidly, indicating that the system has an abnormal fault.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the fault decision includes: the time-domain fault criterion is , and the duration is > 20 ms; wherein, is the voltage difference to ground, is the first threshold value; the frequency-domain fault criterion is , and the proportion of high-frequency component energy is > 30%; wherein, is the energy entropy, is the second threshold value; the delay review mechanism is that when the time-domain fault criterion and the frequency-domain fault criterion are met at the same time, the circuit is immediately tripped, and when only the time-domain fault criterion or the frequency-domain fault criterion is met, a second verification is performed after a delay of 10 ms.
[0046] It can be understood that under normal conditions, the mean value μ and the standard deviation σ of the entropy value of the historical data under normal conditions are statistically analyzed.
[0047] Set = μ - 4σ to ensure that the false alarm rate is < 0.1%.
[0048] The flow of generating the time-domain fault flag and triggering is:
[0049] S10, read the positive pole-to-ground voltage of the DC system as and the negative pole-to-ground voltage of the DC system as .
[0050] S20, obtain and by the formulas and , the voltage difference to ground, is the positive pole-to-ground voltage difference, is the negative pole-to-ground voltage difference.
[0051] S30, comparison .
[0052] Primary fault judgment is performed, and the criterion is that when or a primary fault warning is triggered; secondary fault judgment is performed again, and the criterion is that the energy entropy is confirmed as a fault.
[0053] The processing time is less than 20 ms, wherein is a voltage offset threshold value; is an energy entropy threshold value.
[0054] S40, if the limit is exceeded, a time domain fault flag is triggered.
[0055] The ground voltage deviation can be calculated in real time, and the primary criterion is executed.
[0056] The flow of generating a frequency domain fault flag and triggering is

[0065] It can be understood that the symmetric resistance network module is packaged in a shielded box to avoid electromagnetic interference. Low-temperature drift resistors (such as metal film resistors, temperature drift coefficient < 50ppm / ℃) are selected.
[0066] Further, the symmetrical resistance network satisfies the following conditions: the resistance value ranges from 10kΩ to 100kΩ, the power level is 1.5 times of the rated value; the metal film resistance is adopted and is packaged in a shielding box, the temperature drift coefficient is less than 50ppm / ℃; the ground capacitance and the symmetrical resistance network form a low-pass filter.
