Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electric energy meter monitoring, and in particular relates to an electric energy meter fault monitoring method and system based on signal decomposition. Background Art

[0002] An electric energy meter is a device used to measure electrical energy parameters in power supply or transmission lines. Commonly used high-voltage electric energy meters consist of a measuring chip, current transformer, voltage transformer, power supply, MCU, and terminal blocks. During operation, electric energy meters can experience various anomalies, such as wiring faults, transformer failures, and meter reading failures, which can cause the meter to inaccurately measure power data. The transformer portion of an electric energy meter consists of a primary winding circuit and a secondary winding circuit. During measurement, problems such as transformer damage or measurement fluctuations exceeding the specified range can cause transformer errors or secondary circuit contact failures.

[0003] For example, patent application publication number CN118011307A assesses the health of an electricity meter by calculating its aging and environmental impact index. First, the aging is calculated based on the meter's number of days in use and the number of repairs. Then, the environmental impact index is calculated based on the ambient temperature and humidity of the meter on different monitoring days. By assigning weights to the aging and environmental impact indexes, a display abnormality impact factor is derived, further assessing the meter's failure risk. Another example is patent application publication number CN116699236A, which combines a metering unit, a monitoring unit, a main control unit, and a display to monitor electricity meter failures. The metering unit measures voltage and current signals, generates a reference voltage, and transmits it to the monitoring unit. The monitoring unit compares the reference voltage with the meter's operating status. If an abnormality is detected, the main control unit displays the fault information on a display. Another example is patent application publication number CN115986930A, which includes a data collection master station, a data collection terminal, and multiple electricity meters. Each energy meter is equipped with a carrier module, which communicates with the data collection terminal through the carrier module, reporting the meter's archive information and operating status in real time. The data collection terminal forwards this information to the main data collection station, which determines its monitoring results based on the substation archive and energy meter data.

[0004] The deficiencies of the existing technology are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the commonly used fault detection method usually relies on an auxiliary electric energy meter for secondary test synchronization. This method can only detect whether the electric energy meter has a fault, but cannot repair the reading of the electric energy meter, resulting in it being difficult to restore the normal function of the electric energy meter when a fault occurs. Secondly, the electric energy meter is usually manually wired, which is prone to problems such as missed connections, wrong connections, or loose terminal connections. These problems will cause the measurement circuit of the electric energy meter to deviate from the original circuit, thereby causing detection reading deviations or line inconsistencies. This makes it impossible for the electric energy meter to accurately reflect the actual detection status, further increasing the difficulty of troubleshooting and locating problems. For abnormal wiring problems, traditional methods often take a lot of time to troubleshoot and are inefficient. Therefore, the existing technology still has a lot of room for improvement in electric energy meter fault detection and repair. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an electric energy meter fault monitoring method and system based on signal decomposition, which locates the power supply point where the electric energy meter is located; obtains the power signal detected by the electric energy meter, performs a windowed wavelet transform on the power signal, and obtains the frequency domain function of the power signal; separates the fundamental signal and the harmonic signal in the frequency domain function of the power signal; obtains the time domain function of the fundamental signal and the harmonic signal, and calculates the power parameters of the time domain function; corrects the mutual inductor error based on the power data of the primary winding and the secondary winding of the electric energy meter and the hardware parameters of the mutual inductor; and uses the fundamental signal in the time domain and the load-free ratio difference of the voltage and current mutual inductors to judge the wiring fault and the mutual inductor coil fault. The present invention can realize the automatic separation of fundamental power and harmonic power, optimize the working parameters of the electric energy meter filter, reduce the line loss in the electric energy measurement process, improve the efficiency of electric energy detection, and simultaneously identify the wiring fault of the electric energy meter, ensure the accurate measurement of the electric energy meter, and improve the overall energy efficiency of the electric energy metering system.

[0068] 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, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an electric energy meter fault monitoring method based on signal decomposition, comprising the following steps:

[0070] Step S1. Locate the power supply point where the energy meter is located, establish an energy management center in the cloud, and generate an address database using the location of each power supply point as an index. If the power transmission and distribution specifications of different power supply points are the same, these power supply points are considered to be the same source power supply points and stored in the same address database;

[0071] Step S1 includes:

[0072] Step S11. Using satellite or radio positioning equipment, locate the power supply point where the energy meter is located at the decimeter or centimeter level. The power supply point includes: the meter box, power supply station, and generator set. Power supply points with the same power transmission and distribution specifications are recorded as common power supply points. The common power transmission and distribution specifications refer to nodes with the same voltage, phase, and frequency requirements.

[0073] Step S12. Establish an energy management center in the cloud. The energy management center has data storage, user interaction, information transmission and reception, and data calculation functions. The location of the same-source power supply point, the fundamental wave signal of voltage and current, the harmonic signal of voltage and current, and the measurement error are all stored in the same address library, and the location of all the same-source power supply points is used as an index.

[0074] Step S2. Obtain the power signal detected by the energy meter. Based on the AC waveform of the same power supply point in the cloud address database, select the wavelet function of the corresponding frequency as the fundamental frequency, perform a windowed wavelet transform on the power signal, and obtain the frequency domain function of the power signal.

[0075] Step S2 includes:

[0076] Step S21. Detecting the power signal of the electric energy meter, including the voltage signal and the current signal, and obtaining the time domain function of the voltage signal and the time domain function of the current signal;

[0077] Locate the energy meter, use the location as an index, search the cloud address database for the same power supply point, obtain the AC waveform of the same power supply point, and select a wavelet function with an integer multiple of the AC frequency and the same waveform as the fundamental frequency of the voltage or current signal;

[0078] Step S22: Perform windowed wavelet transform on the power signal with a variable window to determine the frequency domain function:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, f(a,b) is the frequency domain function, a is the frequency scale, b is the frequency domain offset, t0 is the window length, t represents time, δ(t) is the fundamental frequency wavelet function, U(t) is the time domain function of the power signal, and T is the sampling time of the power signal.

[0081] Step S3. Using the error range of the AC power frequency of the power supply system to obtain a frequency domain interval; based on the frequency domain interval, separating the fundamental signal and the harmonic signal in the frequency domain function of the power signal; performing an inverse transform on the fundamental signal and the harmonic signal to obtain the time domain function of the fundamental signal and the harmonic signal, and calculating the power parameters of the time domain function;

[0082] Step S3 includes:

[0083] Step S31. Acquire the AC power frequency of the power supply system, including the frequency domain scale and frequency domain offset of the AC power, and preset a frequency domain interval centered on the standard frequency domain scale and frequency domain offset;

[0084] The power signal is filtered according to the error interval, and the component in the frequency domain function that is within the frequency domain interval of the frequency domain scale and the frequency domain offset is taken as the fundamental component, otherwise it is taken as the harmonic component, so that the frequency domain function of the power signal is f(a,b)=f1(a,b)+f2(a,b), where f1(a,b) and f2(a,b) represent the frequency domain functions of the fundamental component and the harmonic component, respectively;

[0085] Step S32. Perform inverse transformation on f1(a, b) and f2(a, b) respectively to obtain the time domain functions f1(t) and f2(t) of the fundamental signal and the harmonic signal, perform detection on f1(t) and f2(t) to obtain the power parameters of the fundamental signal and the harmonic signal, including voltage, current and power, and upload the obtained data to the cloud.

[0086] Step S4. Connect the voltage and current transformers to different ports of the metering chip, respectively, and use the voltage and current transformers to measure the power data of the primary and secondary windings of the electric energy meter; calculate the error of the transformer based on the power data and the hardware parameters of the transformer, and correct the error;

[0087] Step S4 includes:

[0088] Step S41. Connect the primary and secondary windings of the energy meter to the high-voltage power supply line and the power consumption line, respectively. The primary and secondary windings share a set of voltage transformers and current transformers. Utilize a bridge shunt circuit to allow the secondary winding to receive signals from the voltage and current transformers and transmit the signals from the secondary winding to the energy meter. Measure power data from the primary and secondary windings in the energy meter and remove harmonic signals from the power data.

[0089] Step S42. Calculate the voltage transformer error based on the power data and the transformer hardware parameters:

[0090]

[0091] Among them, fU and δU represent the ratio difference and angle difference of the voltage transformer respectively, Ym is the excitation admittance of the voltage transformer, X1 is the primary side reactance of the voltage transformer, and X k is the short-circuit reactance of the voltage transformer, r1 is the primary winding resistance, r k is the short-circuit resistance of the voltage transformer, θ is the deflection angle between the main magnetic flux and the excitation current of the voltage transformer, ω is the power angle between the secondary winding circuit voltage and current, and Y2 is the short-circuit excitation admittance of the voltage transformer;

[0092] Step S43: Calculate the error of the current transformer:

[0093]

[0094] Where fI and δI represent the ratio difference and angle difference of the current transformer respectively, I m is the excitation current, I1 is the primary winding current, σ is the deflection angle between the voltage and the induced electromotive force in the secondary winding circuit, and θ is the deflection angle between the main magnetic flux of the voltage transformer and the excitation current;

[0095] Step S44: Correct the errors of the voltage and current transformers according to the calculated ratio difference and angle difference.

[0096] Specifically, the correction method is an existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0097] Step S5. Calculate the correlation between the fundamental wave signal in the time domain and the historical fundamental wave signal to determine whether the wiring is wrong; obtain the ratio difference of the voltage and current transformer from the metering chip, and determine whether the electric energy meter is abnormal by comparing the ratio difference; compare the no-load ratio difference of the voltage and current transformer with the power supply test voltage in the electric energy meter and the no-load ratio difference of the current transformer to determine whether the coil is faulty.

[0098] Step S5 includes:

[0099] Step S51. Obtain historical fundamental wave signals from the cloud address database, and use the Pearson correlation algorithm to calculate the correlation between the fundamental wave signal under the current power supply parameters and the historical fundamental wave signals in the time domain. If the correlation is lower than the threshold, a power meter wiring error is displayed;

[0100] Step S52. Determine the ratio difference of the voltage and current transformers. Under normal conditions, the errors are consistent. Otherwise, it is determined to be an abnormal state. The winding circuit is powered off. The power supply in the electric energy meter inputs the test voltage and test current to the electric energy meter. The excitation reactance, no-load ratio difference and no-load angle difference of the current and voltage transformers under actual load are calculated according to the interpolation method. When the no-load ratio differences of the voltage and current transformers are inconsistent, it is determined that the transformer coil is faulty.

[0101] For example, an electric energy meter is used to detect the line voltage, and the obtained voltage signal f(t) = 220·sin(50.2·t) is decomposed into a fundamental signal and a harmonic signal using frequency domain transformation to obtain a fundamental signal f1(t) = 220sin(50·t) and a harmonic signal f2(t) = -440·cos(50.1·t)sin(0.1·t). The corresponding harmonic signal is filtered out from the voltage signal, and the correlation between the fundamental signal and the historical fundamental signal is compared. The comparison result is 0.1, which is within the correlation range and does not trigger a wiring error.
