Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of power distribution automation, and in particular to a voltage quality monitoring and early warning method based on photovoltaic areas and fusion terminals. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development and widespread application of distributed photovoltaic power generation technology, its access rate in the power grid continues to rise, and its impact on the voltage quality of the substation grid is becoming increasingly prominent. Distributed photovoltaic power generation is characterized by significant intermittent and random characteristics. Its output level is affected by a variety of natural factors such as weather changes, light intensity, and cloud cover. This can easily lead to voltage fluctuations, voltage deviations, harmonic pollution, and three-phase imbalance in the substation grid. These voltage quality issues not only affect the normal operation of power equipment and shorten its service life, but can also lead to safety hazards such as increased power loss and malfunctioning relay protection. This in turn has a negative impact on the user's power quality experience, such as unstable operation of electrical equipment and increased measurement errors of precision instruments.
[0003] Traditional voltage quality monitoring methods primarily rely on the power grid company's centralized monitoring system. These systems typically monitor the entire power grid at a macro level, making it difficult to implement refined, real-time voltage quality monitoring and early warning for distributed photovoltaic access grids. Furthermore, traditional monitoring systems often focus on grid-side voltage quality indicators, such as substation outlet voltage and line voltage, while ignoring voltage quality issues at the end user end. With the rapid development of smart grid and IoT technologies, the digitalization and intelligence of power systems are constantly improving, making voltage quality monitoring of terminal equipment particularly important. Real-time monitoring and analysis of user-side voltage quality not only helps power grid companies better understand the impact of distributed photovoltaic access on the grid, but also provides users with personalized power quality optimization recommendations, improving user satisfaction.
[0004] Therefore, developing a voltage quality monitoring and early warning method based on distributed photovoltaic substations and integrated terminals has important practical significance and value. The promotion and application of this method will provide technical support for the large-scale grid connection of distributed photovoltaic power generation, assist in the construction of new power systems and the realization of energy transformation goals.

[0018] Example 1 Figure 1 This is a block diagram of the low-voltage photovoltaic substation system involved in an embodiment of the present invention. The smart distribution transformer combine terminal unit (SDTC) is an intelligent data collection and control terminal installed in a low-voltage substation. It meets the requirements of high-performance concurrency, large-capacity storage, multiple data collection objects, localized analysis and decision-making, and collaborative computing. It features data collection, equipment operating status monitoring, and energy metering, supporting marketing, power distribution, and emerging business development needs.
[0019] The system block diagram of the low-voltage photovoltaic area is as follows: Figure 1The system is mainly used to monitor the voltage quality of substations and photovoltaic installation points. The equipment included includes substation fusion terminals, photovoltaic inverters, photovoltaic switches, electricity meters, collectors, etc. The substation intelligent fusion terminal is installed on the low-voltage side of the substation transformer. The fusion terminal communicates with substation photovoltaic inverters, photovoltaic switches, multi-function meters and other equipment through communication methods such as HPLC / HRF and RS485. On the one hand, it sends data to the distribution automation master station to achieve observability and measurability of photovoltaic equipment. On the other hand, the fusion terminal uses edge computing to obtain voltage quality indicator data such as voltage deviation, harmonic distortion, and voltage fluctuation standard deviation of the substation and each photovoltaic point, generates early warning information based on the set threshold, and pushes it to the master station system and operation and maintenance personnel through the APP.
[0020] The voltage quality monitoring and early warning system based on distributed photovoltaic areas and integrated terminals in this embodiment mainly includes a data acquisition micro-application module, a voltage quality monitoring and early warning micro-application module, a data center micro-application module, and a communication management micro-application module.
[0021] The overall process of a voltage quality monitoring and early warning method based on photovoltaic areas and integrated terminals in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps include: Step 1: Use a voltage quality monitoring and early warning system based on distributed photovoltaic areas and integrated terminals. The system includes micro-application modules, including data acquisition micro-application module, voltage quality monitoring and early warning micro-application module, data center micro-application module, and communication management micro-application module; Step 2: Start the micro-application module and initialize it, loading the configuration and device profile information; Step 3: Connect to the interface of the data center micro-application module through the message bus and subscribe to the information reported by the data collection micro-application module; Step 4: If the delay time is met, the real-time voltage data of the fusion terminal is obtained, and the voltage quality monitoring and warning micro-application module is called to perform voltage quality calculation and analysis operations, calculate voltage quality related indicator data, generate relevant warning information, and report it to the message bus; Step 5: Loop and read the data of the Nth device. If the data is updated, proceed to step 4. If the data is not updated or the communication fails, report the communication failure information and continue to read the data of the next device. Step 6: After processing the data of all photovoltaic point devices in the distributed photovoltaic area, return to step 4 and wait for the next cycle.
[0022] The communication management micro-application module in step 1 is responsible for integrating communication services between the terminal and the main station. The message bus in step 3 can refer to a messaging mechanism built using the MQTT protocol, enabling the sending and receiving of information between different components, modules, or applications. The delay time in step 4 is the timed analysis interval, a variable input parameter in minutes.
[0023] The data acquisition micro-application is responsible for collecting real-time voltage-related data from various nodes in the substation power grid and end users. The collection of real-time data can reach the minute level. Voltage-related data is mainly provided by photovoltaic inverters, smart switches and other devices. The devices communicate with the fusion terminal through HPLC / HRF or RS485 to HPLC / HRF communication methods. The data collected by the micro-application is stored in the terminal data center through the micro-application interface and reported to the bus for use by other micro-applications.
[0024] The voltage quality monitoring and early warning micro-application processes and analyzes the data collected by the data acquisition micro-application. First, it calculates voltage quality indicators, such as voltage fluctuation rate, harmonic distortion rate, voltage qualification rate, voltage over-limit time statistics, etc.; then, based on the preset voltage quality threshold and the calculated voltage quality indicators, it determines whether the voltage quality of the substation power grid and terminal equipment is abnormal, and generates corresponding early warning information; finally, it pushes the information to the main station system and relevant operation and maintenance personnel through the micro-application so that timely response measures can be taken.
[0025] The voltage quality monitoring and early warning micro-application module includes a voltage deviation judgment and analysis module, a harmonic over-limit judgment and analysis module, a voltage fluctuation judgment and analysis module, and a voltage over-limit judgment and analysis module. It mainly compares with the set threshold to determine whether there are any abnormalities in voltage quality. When the voltage quality indicator exceeds the preset threshold, the early warning judgment module generates corresponding early warning information and reports it to the message bus. Other modules subscribe to this data, such as the data center micro-application module, which saves the data, and the communication management micro-application module, which forwards the data to the master station system and power grid operation and maintenance personnel. The categories of early warning information include: L0 Normal: Voltage quality is within the normal range.

Voltage deviation is an important indicator for judging voltage quality. The size of the deviation can be used to determine whether the voltage is within an acceptable range. Voltage deviation formula: ,in represents the actual voltage calculated from the acquired data, Indicates the set nominal voltage (e.g. 220V).
[0029] Calculate the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the voltage signal: This is used to evaluate the quality of the voltage signal. THD is used to measure the relative size of the harmonic components in the signal. Excessive harmonic distortion may cause equipment damage or performance degradation. Harmonic distortion calculation formula: ,in is the voltage fundamental value, is the effective value of harmonics.
[0030] Calculate the standard deviation of voltage data: This is used to evaluate the dispersion of voltage fluctuations. The standard deviation can provide useful information about voltage fluctuations, which is very important for the stability of the equipment. The standard deviation calculation formula is: ,in : Every voltage reading, : Average value of voltage, N: Total number of readings.
[0031] (2) Determine whether the voltage deviation is greater than the set threshold. If so, enter the voltage deviation judgment and analysis module for data analysis; otherwise, proceed to the next step.
[0032] (3) Determine whether the voltage harmonic distortion rate is greater than the set threshold. If so, enter the voltage harmonic over-limit analysis module for data analysis; otherwise, proceed to the next step.
[0033] (4) Determine whether the voltage fluctuation rate is greater than the set threshold. If so, enter the voltage fluctuation analysis module for data analysis; otherwise, proceed to the next step.
[0034] (5) Determine whether the voltage over-limit is greater than the set threshold. If so, enter the voltage over-limit analysis module for data analysis; otherwise, proceed to the next step.
[0035] (6) Carry out statistics on the voltage qualification rate and the time when the voltage exceeds the upper and lower limits, and save the daily and monthly voltage qualification rate curves and the statistical time when the voltage exceeds the upper and lower limits to the historical database.
[0036] Through the above algorithms, the voltage quality monitoring and early warning system can effectively implement real-time monitoring, data analysis, and early warning functions. The various modules in the system work together to achieve comprehensive monitoring and control of the voltage quality of distributed photovoltaic points.
[0037] The present invention provides a voltage quality monitoring and early warning method based on photovoltaic substations and integrated terminals. Through real-time monitoring, multi-level early warning and convenient and fast data push, it solves the shortcomings of traditional monitoring systems in monitoring the voltage quality of distributed photovoltaic access substation power grids, and provides strong guarantees for the stable operation of the substation power grid and the electricity safety of end users.
