[0002] As a vital component of power transmission, the operational status of underground cables directly impacts the stability and safety of a city's power supply. Traditional cable fault location technology relies primarily on manual inspections and simple electrical testing.

[0003] Manual inspections, limited by human resources and time constraints, make it difficult to fully monitor cable operation in real time, making it difficult to detect many potential faults in a timely manner. For example, in the complex underground cable networks of large cities, manual inspections can take weeks. During this time, even subtle cable faults can develop and worsen unnoticed.

[0004] Simple electrical tests can usually only detect relatively obvious fault characteristics. For some complex fault types, such as faults caused by long-term electromagnetic interference of cables and slow development of local insulation aging, their diagnostic accuracy is seriously insufficient.

[0005] When faced with multi-branch, long-distance cable lines, traditional cable fault location technology faces huge challenges in determining the location of the fault point. It often takes a lot of time to check each section, which not only leads to long power outages and huge losses to the social economy, but may also cause a series of secondary problems due to delayed emergency repairs, such as damage to production equipment and interruption of public services.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0068] Figure 1 Flow chart of the method of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0069] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described in this application are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the spirit of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0070] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for locating a cable fault point, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0071] S1: Deploy nanomaterial-enhanced temperature sensors, quantum-sensing current sensors, and ultra-high-sensitivity fiber-optic acoustic sensors to collect cable temperature, current, and acoustic vibration data;

[0072] Furthermore, it is preferred to use an intelligent composite sensor array comprising nanomaterial-enhanced temperature sensors, quantum-inductive current sensors, and ultra-sensitive fiber-optic acoustic sensors to collect cable data in all directions. First, deploy an intelligent composite sensor array comprising nanomaterial-enhanced temperature sensors, quantum-inductive current sensors, and ultra-sensitive fiber-optic acoustic sensors.

[0073] Nanomaterial-enhanced temperature sensors, with a resolution of up to 0.1°C, are spirally wound around the cable surface at 1-meter intervals to detect subtle temperature gradients in real time. During installation, the sensor must be securely attached to the cable to accurately detect these subtle changes. Specifically, the sensor is installed simultaneously with the cable during laying, secured to the cable sheath with a fixture to prevent loosening or displacement.

[0074] The quantum induction current sensor, based on the quantum Hall effect, can accurately measure current fluctuations as low as milliamperes. It is installed at the starting point of cable branches and key nodes to accurately measure current fluctuations as low as milliamperes. During installation, ensure that the sensor wiring is correct and stable to avoid affecting the measurement accuracy due to poor contact.

[0075] Ultra-high-sensitivity fiber optic acoustic sensors respond sensitively to acoustic signals within the frequency range of 100Hz-10kHz. They are attached to cable joints and bends to capture abnormal acoustic vibrations caused by faults. During the attachment process, highly viscous glue with good insulating properties is used to ensure that the sensor is tightly connected to the cable and is not affected by external interference.

[0076] The temperature sensor housing in the intelligent composite sensor array is made of heat-insulating and electromagnetic shielding materials to ensure that the temperature measurement is not interfered with by the external environment.

[0077] S2: Transmit the data collected by the sensor to the near-end data aggregation node through the self-repairing optical communication network;

[0078] It is further preferred that the data collected by the sensor is transmitted through an optical communication network with self-repair and encryption functions. When the network is built, high-quality optical fiber materials are used and redundant links are set up. When a breakpoint occurs in the optical fiber, the network can automatically start the backup optical path switching mechanism within 10 seconds to ensure that the data flows uninterruptedly to the near-end data aggregation node. The principle is to detect the transmission status of the optical fiber in real time through the intelligent monitoring equipment in the network. Once a fault is found, the backup optical path is immediately activated. The transmission rate is stable at more than 500Mbps, and quantum key distribution technology is used to encrypt the data. At the data sending end, the quantum key generation device is used to generate the key and encrypt the collected data; at the receiving end, the corresponding decryption device is used to restore the data to ensure that the data transmission is absolutely safe.

[0079] The backup optical path of the self-repairing optical communication network adopts a micro-nano optical fiber redundant structure, which is usually in a low-power standby state. When activated, it can quickly take on data transmission tasks, and the switching delay does not exceed 5 seconds.

[0080] S3: The near-end data aggregation node preliminarily determines the cable operating status based on the long short-term memory network with an attention mechanism. If a fault is suspected, the data is forwarded to the cloud-based intelligent diagnosis platform.

[0081] Further preferably, a preliminary analysis module based on an improved long short-term memory network (LSTM) is built into the proximal data aggregation node. The network introduces an attention mechanism to focus on key data features, preliminarily analyze the data, and judge the cable operation status. If a fault is suspected, the suspected fault data is forwarded to the cloud intelligent diagnosis platform;

[0082] The algorithm formula of the preliminary analysis module is:

[0083] i t =σ(W i ·[h t-1 ,x t ]+b i )

[0084] f t =σ(W f ·[h t-1 ,x t ]+b f )

[0085] o t =σ(W o ·[h t-1 ,x t ]+b o )

[0086] g t =σ(W g ·[h t-1 ,x t ]+b g )

[0087] c t =f t c t-1 +i t ·g t

[0088]

[0089] e t =Attention(h t ,x t )

[0090] Among them, x t The input data at time t is obtained by preprocessing the data collected and input by the sensor. Specifically, the temperature data is normalized and the current and acoustic data are filtered.

[0091] h t-1 、h t They are the hidden states at the previous moment and the current moment respectively. The initial state is set based on experience and can also be obtained through training with a small number of samples;

[0092] The W series is the weight matrix, and the b series is the bias vector, which is obtained by training and optimizing a large amount of historical data and known fault data during the model training phase;

[0093] σ is the sigmoid function, e t It is the attention-weighted output, used to enhance the identification of fault features;

[0094] i t 、f t 、o t 、g t They are the values ​​of the input gate, forget gate, output gate, and candidate memory unit, which are used to determine which information in the current input data will be updated to the memory unit, control which old information in the memory unit will be retained or discarded, determine which information in the memory unit will have the output at the current moment, and be used to update the memory unit;

[0095] W i 、W f 、W o 、W gBoth are weight matrices, which are obtained by training and optimizing a large amount of historical data and known fault data during the model training phase. They are used to control the degree of influence of different input information on the current calculation results.

[0096] b i 、b f 、b o 、b g Both are bias vectors, obtained through training optimization during the model training phase, providing additional learnable parameters for model calculation, helping the model to better fit the data;

[0097] c t 、c t-1 They are the memory unit of the current moment and the old memory unit;

[0098] is the memory unit c at the current moment t The result after the hyperbolic tangent function processing is used to calculate the hidden state h at the current moment in the long short-term memory network (LSTM) t , in order to participate in the judgment and analysis of the cable operation status;

[0099] Attention(,) represents the attention mechanism.

[0100] In actual operation, data is continuously input into the module, and the module performs calculations according to the above formula to preliminarily determine the operating status of the cable. If a fault is suspected, the data will be transferred to the cloud-based intelligent diagnosis platform.

[0101] S4: The cloud-based intelligent diagnosis platform uses a deep diagnosis model that integrates multi-source information to make a secondary judgment. If a fault is confirmed, the fault point is located based on the dynamic fault location model.

[0102] Furthermore, the cloud-based intelligent diagnosis platform constructs a deep diagnosis model that integrates multi-source information to process suspected fault data and locate the fault point based on a precise algorithm. Specifically, after the deep diagnosis model confirms the fault, a dynamic fault location model constructed based on multi-dimensional parameters such as cable material, laying environment temperature and humidity, and surrounding electromagnetic interference is activated to accurately locate the fault point. The specific formula for accurately locating the fault point is:

[0103]

[0104] Among them, L fauit is the distance between the fault point and the reference end;

[0105] V eff In order to consider the equivalent wave velocity after environmental influence, a large amount of experimental data of cable wave velocity under different environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and soil medium is analyzed and modeled. Specifically, V eff=a0+a1T+a2H+a3ρ+a4W+a5E

[0106] T is temperature, H is humidity, ρ is soil resistivity, W is cable material, E is electromagnetic interference, and a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, and a5 are coefficients obtained by fitting a large amount of experimental data.

[0107] ΔT waveform The time delay of the fault characteristic waveform at the monitoring end is obtained by calculating the time difference of the collected waveform data. Precise time synchronization equipment is required to ensure the accuracy of the time delay measurement;

[0108] β is the environmental correction factor, which is obtained by looking up the table based on the specific environmental parameters of the cable, such as soil resistivity and humidity;

[0109] ΔV peok is the voltage peak change, which is calculated and analyzed from the collected voltage data.

[0110] By calculating these parameters, the distance L between the fault point and the reference end is finally determined. fauit .

[0111] The above-mentioned dynamic fault location model uses the propagation time and speed of waves in the cable to preliminarily estimate the distance between the fault point and the monitoring end. It then considers the influence of wave speed caused by factors such as temperature, humidity, cable material, and electromagnetic interference, and introduces a correction coefficient to better conform to the actual situation and accurately reflect the location of the fault point. It is known that the voltage peak change reflects the degree of impact of the fault on the electrical characteristics of the cable. When a fault occurs, the voltage will definitely change. The greater the voltage peak change, the more serious the fault. Therefore, the voltage peak change is introduced to improve the accuracy of fault location.

[0112] The preliminary analysis module regularly synchronizes model parameters with the cloud-based intelligent diagnosis platform to ensure consistency between local judgment and global diagnosis. The synchronization cycle does not exceed 1 hour.

[0113] When training the deep diagnostic network of the cloud-based intelligent diagnostic platform, the generative adversarial network (GAN) is used to expand the training samples to improve the model's ability to identify low-probability faults, with the expansion ratio being no less than 30%.

[0114] S5: The fault point location information is synchronized to the 3D geographic information visualization system in real time, and the fault point is mapped to a 3D real-life map, visually displaying the spatial relationship between the fault point and surrounding geographic elements.

[0115] Furthermore, preferably, the fault point location information is synchronized in real time to a three-dimensional geographic information visualization system (3D-GIS) for accurately mapping the fault point to a three-dimensional real-life map, visually displaying the spatial relationship between the fault point and surrounding geographical elements such as buildings and underground pipelines;

[0116] The location coordinates of the fault point and other information are transmitted to the 3D-GIS system through the data interface. The system is linked to the municipal engineering database in real time to promptly update the information on the construction and reconstruction of underground pipelines, with an update delay of no more than 24 hours.

[0117] During the linkage process, a combination of scheduled data query and event-triggered update is adopted to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of information.

[0118] S6: At the same time, an intelligent emergency repair plan is automatically generated and pushed to the emergency repair personnel closest to the fault point and with corresponding qualifications. The emergency repair personnel provide real-time feedback on the emergency repair progress, achieving two-way interaction;

[0119] Furthermore, it is preferred that an intelligent emergency repair plan is automatically generated, and the plan is prioritized according to the severity of the fault, the required professional skills, and the list of tools and equipment. Specifically, for serious faults, experienced emergency repair personnel and complete equipment are given priority, and the plan is pushed to the emergency repair personnel closest to the fault point and with corresponding qualifications through the intelligent terminal. The emergency repair personnel can provide real-time feedback on the emergency repair progress on the terminal, realizing two-way interaction;

[0120] When the intelligent emergency repair plan is pushed to the repair personnel, it is also accompanied by a detailed virtual real-life image of the fault site. The image is generated by a drone equipped with a high-definition camera shooting 50 meters above the fault point, helping the repair personnel to understand the on-site conditions in advance.

[0121] S7: After the emergency repair is completed, the repaired cable operation data is used to reversely optimize the long short-term memory network and deep diagnostic model parameters, and simulated fault tests are performed after each optimization.

[0122] Further optimization is to establish a fault backtracking and learning mechanism. After the emergency repair is completed, the repaired cable operation data is used to reversely optimize the parameters in the diagnosis model and positioning algorithm to continuously improve the system performance. After each optimization, a simulated fault test is performed to ensure system stability.

[0123] Specifically, cable operation data from the period following repairs is collected and used as new training samples, along with previous fault data and normal operation data. The preliminary analysis module of the near-end data aggregation node and the deep diagnostic model of the cloud-based intelligent diagnostic platform are retrained, adjusting parameters such as the weight matrix and bias vector within the model to continuously improve system performance. After each optimization, simulated fault testing is performed. By constructing simulated fault scenarios, inputting test data, and observing the system's diagnostic and location results, system stability is ensured. Specifically, simulated faults of varying types and severity are set to verify the system's ability to accurately identify and locate them. If any issues are found, the cause is further analyzed and adjustments are made.

[0127] The proximal data aggregation node is used to preliminarily determine the cable operating status based on a long short-term memory network with an attention mechanism. If a fault is suspected, the data is forwarded to the cloud-based intelligent diagnosis platform.

[0128] The cloud-based intelligent diagnosis platform uses a deep diagnostic model that integrates multi-source information to make secondary judgments. If a fault is confirmed, the fault point is located based on a dynamic fault location model.

[0129] A 3D geographic information visualization system is used to map the fault point onto a 3D real-life map, visually displaying the spatial relationship between the fault point and surrounding geographic elements;
