[0002] With the continuous advancement of industrialization and urbanization, power cables, as the core carrier of modern power transmission, have a direct impact on the safety and stability of the power system due to their operational reliability. However, during long-term service, cables are susceptible to localized defects in the insulation medium due to the combined effects of complex operating conditions and external environmental factors. Partial discharge (PD) is a typical parameter that characterizes cable insulation defects under the action of power frequency electric fields. Therefore, locating PD in cables not only provides early warning of hidden dangers in cable lines, but also effectively inhibits the evolution of defects into permanent faults. This is of great significance for improving the efficiency of power system operation and maintenance and ensuring the reliable power supply of urban power grids.

[0003] Related art methods for locating partial discharge in cables primarily include threshold, peak, energy, and correlation methods. However, due to the dispersion and attenuation of partial discharge signals during cable transmission, these methods suffer from large positioning errors and are susceptible to interference.

[0019] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0021] For ease of description, some nouns or terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained below:

[0022] High-frequency current sensors are sensors used to detect and measure high-frequency current signals. High-frequency current sensors can capture current changes with frequencies much higher than conventional power frequencies (such as 50Hz or 60Hz (Hertz)). They are often used to detect and analyze partial discharge problems and electromagnetic compatibility problems in power equipment.

[0023] Frequency band modulation technology selectively enhances or weakens specific frequency components of the signal, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio, positioning accuracy or communication quality. It is widely used in communications, radar, audio processing and power system detection.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present application, a method embodiment of a partial discharge locating method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0025] Figure 1 is a flow chart of an optional partial discharge locating method provided according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S102, collecting a head-end time-domain partial discharge signal of a target cable head-end and a terminal time-domain partial discharge signal of a target cable terminal;

[0027] As you can see, the signal acquisition device deployed at the headend of the target cable collects the time-domain partial discharge signal at the headend of the target cable, while the signal acquisition device deployed at the tailend of the target cable collects the time-domain partial discharge signal at the tailend of the target cable. This dual-end partial discharge signal acquisition method ensures comprehensive capture of partial discharge signals, improving the accuracy and reliability of partial discharge location results.

[0028] Optionally, high-frequency current sensors can be used to collect time-domain partial discharge signals at the cable's headend and tailend. By deploying high-frequency current sensors at both the cable's headend and tailend, and orienting their reference directions toward the center of the target cable being tested, the accuracy and consistency of the collected time-domain partial discharge signals can be ensured. The reference direction of the high-frequency current sensors refers to the positive direction used by the sensors when measuring high-frequency current signals, ensuring consistent and comparable signal measurements.

[0029] Step S104, determining the response characteristics of the target cable to the frequency domain partial discharge signal based on the head-end time domain partial discharge signal and the terminal time domain partial discharge signal;

[0030] It can be understood that frequency-domain conversion and analysis of the target cable's head-end and tail-end time-domain PD signals yields the target cable's response characteristics to the frequency-domain PD signals. Determining these response characteristics not only allows for more precise analysis of the propagation characteristics of the frequency-domain PD signals within the target cable, but also avoids blind analysis of full-band frequency-domain PD signals, improving the efficiency and accuracy of cable PD location.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, based on the head-end time-domain partial discharge signal and the end-end time-domain partial discharge signal, the response characteristics of the target cable to the frequency-domain partial discharge signal are determined, including: performing frequency domain conversion on the head-end time-domain partial discharge signal and the end-end time-domain partial discharge signal respectively to obtain the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal and the end-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal; determining the head-end effective frequency band of the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal and the end-end effective frequency band of the end-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal; and determining the response characteristics based on the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal, the end-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal, the head-end effective frequency band, and the end-end effective frequency band.

[0032] It can be understood that the frequency domain conversion of the head-end time-domain partial discharge signal produces the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal, while the frequency domain conversion of the tail-end time-domain partial discharge signal produces the tail-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal. Frequency band control technology is used to determine the head-end effective frequency band of the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal and the tail-end effective frequency band of the tail-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal. Based on the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal, the tail-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal, the head-end effective frequency band, and the tail-end effective frequency band, the response characteristics of the target cable to the frequency-domain partial discharge signal are determined. By determining the effective frequency band, the analysis can be focused on the most sensitive and informative frequency bands of the partial discharge signal, enhancing the ability to identify partial discharges. Furthermore, determining the effective frequency band helps reduce the risk of misjudgment due to background noise and non-partial discharge signals, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of positioning results.

[0033] Alternatively, the transfer function of the cable to the frequency domain signal can be used as the response characteristic of the cable to the frequency domain partial discharge signal. The transfer function of the cable can be realized in the following ways:

[0034]

[0035] Among them, Γ pd is the transfer function of the cable; N1 and N2 are the frequency indexes of the upper and lower limits of the transfer function of the cable obtained according to the frequency band control technology.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, frequency domain conversion is performed on the head-end time-domain partial discharge signal and the terminal time-domain partial discharge signal respectively to obtain the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal and the terminal frequency-domain partial discharge signal, including: preprocessing the head-end time-domain partial discharge signal and the terminal time-domain partial discharge signal respectively to obtain a standard head-end signal and a standard terminal signal; performing frequency domain conversion on the standard head-end signal by Fourier transform to obtain the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal; and performing frequency domain conversion on the standard terminal signal by Fourier transform to obtain the terminal frequency-domain partial discharge signal.

[0037] It is understood that the head-end time-domain partial discharge signal and the terminal time-domain partial discharge signal are preprocessed separately, such as by zero-padding and Hilbert transform. Zero-padding ensures that the signal length of the time-domain partial discharge signal meets the requirements of the discrete Fourier transform, preventing spectrum leakage; the Hilbert transform converts the time-domain partial discharge signal into an analytical signal for subsequent frequency domain analysis. The standard head-end signal and the standard terminal signal obtained after preprocessing are converted to the frequency domain using Fourier transform to obtain the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal and the terminal frequency-domain partial discharge signal, respectively. The reflection characteristics of partial discharge signals in cables are more pronounced in the frequency domain. Therefore, by converting time-domain partial discharge to frequency-domain partial discharge, frequency information can be utilized to improve the accuracy of cable partial discharge location.

[0038] Optionally, zero-padding and Hilbert transform can be used to pre-process the cable's time-domain partial discharge (PD) signal. Zero-padding adds zeros to the end of the PD signal, extending the PD signal at both the head and tail ends to the same length, facilitating subsequent discrete Fourier transforms. Hilbert transform analyzes the spectral characteristics of the PD signal to convert it into a complex signal (i.e., an analytical signal), providing richer signal information for subsequent frequency-domain analysis.

[0039] Optionally, the zero padding and Hilbert transform of the head-end time-domain partial discharge signal and the tail-end time-domain partial discharge signal may be implemented in the following manner:

[0040] u d10 =[u d1 ,0]

[0041]

[0042] u d20 =[u d2 ,0]

[0043]

[0044] Among them, u d1 and u d2The time domain partial discharge signal at the beginning and the end of the cable are measured respectively; u d10 and u d20 are the time domain partial discharge signal at the beginning and end of the cable respectively and the zero-filled time domain partial discharge signal at the end; H is the Hilbert transform; and They are the complex signals after Hilbert transform of the time domain partial discharge signal at the beginning and end of the cable after zero filling and the time domain partial discharge signal at the end.

[0045] Optionally, the head-end time-domain partial discharge signal and the terminal time-domain partial discharge signal may be converted into the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal and the terminal frequency-domain partial discharge signal by using a discrete Fourier transform. The discrete Fourier transform of the head-end time-domain partial discharge signal and the terminal time-domain partial discharge signal may be implemented as follows:

[0046]

[0047] Among them, U d1 and U d2 are the frequency domain expressions of the partial discharge signals measured at the beginning and end of the cable, respectively (i.e., the expressions of the frequency domain partial discharge signal at the beginning and the frequency domain partial discharge signal at the end); j represents the imaginary part; k is the frequency domain sequence index; n is the time domain sequence index; N is the sequence number; f is the frequency sequence; T s is the signal sampling rate.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, determining a head-end effective frequency band of a head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal and a tail-end effective frequency band of a tail-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal includes: determining a target signal having the largest amplitude among a plurality of sampling point signals included in the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal, and a target amplitude and a target frequency corresponding to the target signal; determining a first frequency and a second frequency of the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal based on the target amplitude and a predetermined amplitude threshold, wherein the first frequency is less than the target frequency and the second frequency is greater than the target frequency; determining the head-end effective frequency band based on the first frequency and the second frequency; and determining the tail-end effective frequency band using the method for determining the head-end effective frequency band.

[0049] It can be understood that the signal point with the largest amplitude is found from the multiple sampling point signals included in the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal as the target signal. An amplitude threshold (e.g., 5%) is pre-set to define the upper and lower bounds of the head-end effective frequency band. Based on the amplitude threshold, the first frequency (lower than the target frequency) and the second frequency (higher than the target frequency) of the head-end frequency-domain partial discharge signal are determined. The first frequency and the second frequency are located on the left and right sides of the target frequency, respectively, and the resulting frequency band range is the smallest to ensure that the partial discharge characteristics are captured to the greatest extent. The head-end effective frequency band is determined with the first and second frequencies as the boundaries. Similarly, the end effective frequency band is determined according to the method for determining the head-end effective frequency band. By determining the effective frequency band, the frequency band range can be precisely controlled, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of partial discharge and reducing positioning errors caused by a wide spectrum.

[0050] Optionally, the frequency band control technology can be used to determine the effective frequency band of the head end and the effective frequency band of the end end, and then determine the effective frequency band of the transfer function, as well as the frequency index of the upper and lower limits. For the head end frequency domain partial discharge signal, first, the frequency domain expression U of the head end partial discharge signal obtained at the head end of the cable is obtained. d1 The maximum value of (i.e. target signal) and record its corresponding frequency (i.e. target frequency); secondly, take U d1 The two frequency points (i.e., the first frequency signal point and the second frequency signal point) corresponding to 5% of the maximum value (i.e., the predetermined amplitude threshold) of the cable are respectively used as the effective frequency band range of the head-end frequency domain partial discharge signal (i.e., the head-end effective frequency band), and it is ensured that these two frequency points are located on the left and right sides of the maximum frequency point, and the obtained effective frequency band range is minimized. Similarly, for the terminal frequency domain partial discharge signal, first, the terminal partial discharge signal frequency domain expression U obtained at the cable end is taken. d2 Maximum value and record its corresponding frequency; secondly, take U d2 The two frequency points corresponding to 5% of the maximum value are used as the effective frequency band of the terminal frequency domain partial discharge signal (i.e., the terminal effective frequency band). These two frequency points are ensured to be located on the left and right sides of the maximum frequency point, and the resulting effective frequency band is minimized. Finally, the intersection of the head-end effective frequency band and the terminal effective frequency band is taken as the effective frequency band of the cable transfer function. The frequency indexes of the upper and lower limits of the effective frequency band are N1 and N2, respectively.

[0051] Step S106, determining a partial discharge result of the target cable based on the response characteristics, wherein the partial discharge result is used to indicate the possibility of partial discharge at different locations of the target cable;

[0052] As can be understood, the target cable's partial discharge diagnostic function is determined based on the target cable's response characteristics to the frequency-domain partial discharge signal. The partial discharge diagnostic function is then used to determine the target cable's partial discharge results. These partial discharge results quantify the likelihood of partial discharge at different locations on the target cable. By combining spectrum analysis with the partial discharge diagnostic function, the target location of partial discharge in the cable can be precisely identified, improving the accuracy of partial discharge location.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, determining a partial discharge result of a target cable based on the response characteristics includes: determining a phase constant of the target cable and a length of the target cable, wherein the phase constant represents a phase change rate per unit length when a partial discharge signal propagates in the target cable; and determining the partial discharge result based on the phase constant, length, and response characteristics.

[0054] As can be understood, the target cable's material and structural parameters determine the target cable's phase constant, representing the rate of phase change per unit length of the partial discharge signal as it propagates through the target cable. The target cable's partial discharge results are determined based on the target cable's phase constant, the target cable's length, and the target cable's response to the frequency-domain partial discharge signal. By combining frequency-domain analysis of the cable's phase constant and cable length, cable partial discharge can be more accurately identified, improving the accuracy of partial discharge location results.

[0055] Alternatively, the phase constant of the cable may be determined based on parameters such as the geometric dimensions, dielectric constant, conductor resistance and inductance of the cable.

[0056] Alternatively, the partial discharge result can be determined by constructing a partial discharge diagnostic function for the cable. The partial discharge diagnostic function can be implemented as follows:

[0057]

[0058] Where D(x) is the cable's partial discharge diagnostic function; x is the distance from the cable's head end; β is the cable's phase constant; C is the Chebyshev window function; and Δf is the frequency interval. The partial discharge diagnostic function can be used to determine partial discharge results at different cable locations.

[0059] Step S108: determining a target location where partial discharge exists in the target cable based on the partial discharge result.

[0060] As can be understood, the PD results of the target cable are analyzed to determine the target location of PD within the target cable. By analyzing the PD results, it is possible to determine whether the PD is located within the cable and its specific location within the cable, providing early warning of cable faults. This also avoids blind inspections of the entire cable or its surrounding areas, simplifies cable maintenance processes, and improves grid operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, based on the partial discharge result, a target position where partial discharge exists in the target cable is determined, including: determining an initial position and an area determination result of the partial discharge of the target cable based on the partial discharge result, wherein the area determination result is used to indicate whether the partial discharge is located inside the target cable; and determining the target position based on the initial position and the area determination result.

[0062] As can be understood, the initial location of the partial discharge in the target cable and the region determination result, indicating whether the partial discharge is located within the target cable, are determined based on the partial discharge results. Based on these initial location and region determination results, the target location of the partial discharge in the target cable is determined. Determining the region determination result effectively distinguishes signals from inside and outside the cable, enabling accurate determination of whether partial discharge is occurring within the target cable even in complex environments, thereby eliminating the impact of external interference on the partial discharge location results.

[0063] Optionally, the cable's partial discharge diagnosis function can be used to determine the cable's partial discharge location function and area determination function. The partial discharge location function is used to determine the initial location of the cable's partial discharge (i.e., the partial discharge location result), and the area determination function is used to determine the cable's area determination result. The cable's partial discharge location function and area determination function can be implemented as follows:

[0064] D loc (x)=|D(x)|

[0065] D ch (x) = real(D(x))

[0066] Among them, D loc is the partial discharge location function of the cable, which is obtained by taking the modulus value of D(x); D ch is the area determination function of the cable, which is obtained by taking the real part of D(x).

[0067] In an optional embodiment, determining the target position based on the initial position and the area determination result includes: when the area determination result indicates that the partial discharge is located inside the target cable, determining the target position based on the initial position and the length of the target cable.

[0068] As can be understood, if the area determination result indicates that the PD is located within the target cable, the target location of the PD is determined based on the initial location of the PD within the target cable and the length of the target cable. By combining the initial location and the cable length, the actual location of the PD point within the cable can be more accurately determined, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of cable maintenance and repair work.

[0069] Optionally, obtain the partial discharge location function D loc The maximum value of is taken as the pseudo-location result of partial discharge. Substitute the pseudo-location result into the area judgment function D ch The area determination result is obtained. If the area determination result is positive, the partial discharge is determined to be inside the cable. The proposed location result is the distance from the target location to the end of the partial discharge minus the distance from the beginning of the cable. Combined with the cable length, the target location of the partial discharge can be determined. If the area determination result is negative, the partial discharge is determined to be outside the cable. The partial discharge location is the distance between the two sensors (i.e., the high-frequency current sensor at the beginning of the cable and the high-frequency current sensor at the end of the cable).

[0070] Through the above steps S102 to S108, the purpose of determining the partial discharge results of the cable by collecting and analyzing the time domain partial discharge signals at the beginning and end of the cable, and accurately locating the partial discharge of the cable based on the partial discharge results can be achieved, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the accuracy of the positioning results of the partial discharge of the cable, and thus solving the technical problem of low accuracy in positioning the partial discharge of the cable existing in the related art.

[0071] Based on the above-described embodiments and optional embodiments, this application proposes an optional method implementation for locating partial discharges. This implementation collects and analyzes time-domain partial discharge signals at the beginning and end of a cable to propose a dual-end cable partial discharge location method based on frequency-domain reflectometry. This method addresses the problems of poor positioning accuracy, weak anti-interference capabilities, and the inability to clearly determine the location of cable partial discharges in PD location methods.

[0072] Figure 2 is a structural block diagram of an optional partial discharge location method provided according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown in FIG, the steps of the cable partial discharge double-end location method based on the frequency domain reflection method include:

[0073] Step S1: Detecting the partial discharge detection signals at the beginning and end of the cable (i.e., the time domain partial discharge signal at the beginning and the end of the cable) by a high-frequency current sensor, with the reference direction of the high-frequency current sensor pointing to the center of the detected cable.

[0074] Step S2: performing zero padding and Hilbert transform on the detected partial discharge detection signals at the beginning and end of the cable.

[0075] The implementation method of zero padding of the time-domain partial discharge signal at the beginning and the end of the cable is the same as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0076] Step S3 , performing discrete Fourier transform on the Hilbert transformed PD complex signal (ie, the head-end time-domain PD signal and the terminal time-domain PD signal after zero padding and Hilbert transform) to obtain the frequency domain representation of the head and terminal.

[0077] The implementation methods of Hilbert transform and discrete Fourier transform of the time-domain partial discharge signal at the beginning and the end of the cable are the same as those described above and will not be repeated here.

[0078] Step S4: Calculate the cable transfer function and, using frequency band control techniques, determine the effective frequency band of the transfer function (i.e., the frequency band range determined by the intersection of the headend effective frequency band and the tailend effective frequency band). This in turn determines the frequency indexes of the upper and lower limits of the transfer function. Frequency-domain partial discharge signal data within the headend effective frequency band and the tailend effective frequency band is retained.

[0079] The method for determining the transfer function of the cable and the method for determining the effective frequency band are the same as those described above and will not be repeated here.

[0080] Step S5: performing spectrum analysis on the transfer function to obtain a partial discharge diagnostic function of the cable.

[0081] The method for determining the partial discharge diagnostic function of the cable is the same as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0082] Step S6: determining the cable's partial discharge location function and area determination function through the cable's partial discharge diagnosis function.

[0083] The determination method of the partial discharge location function and the area determination function of the cable is the same as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0084] Step S7: determining the initial position of the cable partial discharge (ie, the partial discharge proposed positioning result) according to the maximum value of the partial discharge positioning function, and determining the target position of the partial discharge according to the initial position.

[0085] Get the partial discharge location function D loc The maximum value of is taken as the pseudo-location result of partial discharge. Substitute the pseudo-location result into the area judgment function D chThe area determination result is obtained. If the area determination result is positive, the partial discharge is determined to be inside the cable. The proposed location result is the distance from the target location to the end of the partial discharge minus the distance from the beginning of the cable. Combined with the cable length, the target location of the partial discharge can be determined. If the area determination result is negative, the partial discharge is determined to be outside the cable. The partial discharge location is the distance between the two sensors (i.e., the high-frequency current sensor at the beginning of the cable and the high-frequency current sensor at the end of the cable).

[0086] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of an optional cable partial discharge detection provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 The following diagram shows a test scenario for a cable with a partial discharge defect using the frequency domain reflectometry-based dual-end cable partial discharge location method. The cable is a 10kV (kilovolt) distribution cable, 600 meters long. A partial discharge defect was located 200 meters from the cable head end using a partial discharge signal generator. Figure 3 Middle Z L Indicates the cable line impedance, Z S Represents the signal source impedance, Z D At the voltage measurement points at the beginning and end of the cable, high-frequency current sensors are used to collect the time-domain partial discharge signals at the beginning and end of the cable.

[0089] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of an optional partial discharge diagnosis result provided according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 Shown is based on Figure 3Schematic diagram of the partial discharge diagnosis results of the cable obtained from the test scenario. The horizontal axis is the distance from the cable head end, in meters; the vertical axis is the normalized amplitude of the partial discharge location function and the regional determination function. The solid line is the local location curve, which represents the normalized amplitude of the partial discharge location function at different distances; the dotted line is the regional determination curve, which represents the normalized amplitude of the regional determination function at different distances. Figure 6 As shown, the peak of the local location curve is 200.6 m, and the corresponding regional determination curve is positive.
