Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of power transmission and transformation equipment state measurement, in particular to a DC arc current signal measurement effectiveness verification method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a DC system, due to the influence of environment and operating conditions, DC discharge may be caused for various reasons. The DC system fault arc problem is serious, and once the DC discharge develops into an arc, it is difficult to extinguish due to the absence of natural zero point of current.

[0003] Many manufacturers have developed DC arc detection devices, but the effectiveness verification still faces a series of problems. These effectiveness verification methods do not consider the actual working conditions of the DC system, and do not fully consider the interference of switch noise amplitude and frequency on the detection device, so the test method is not accurate. Therefore, a more comprehensive, comprehensive and practical verification method must be used to ensure that the verification is more accurate and reliable.

[0004] The information disclosed in the background section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present application, and therefore can contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies or defects of the prior art, a DC arc current signal measurement effectiveness verification method is provided, which can simulate the inverter switch noise of the DC system by changing the signal generator output signal characteristics. The steps are simple, easy to implement, low in cost, and have the advantages of easy change of noise signal and high accuracy of verification results.

[0006] The purpose of the present application is achieved by the following technical solutions.

[0007] A DC arc current signal measurement effectiveness verification method comprises the following steps:

[0008] Collecting a DC arc current signal without inverter switch noise and / or mixed with inverter switch noise, and performing analog-to-digital conversion on it;

[0009] Pretreating the DC arc current signal after analog-to-digital conversion to obtain a DC arc current signal without initial transient effect;

[0010] Based on the premise that the signal fluctuation obeys normal distribution, define mu as the average value and sigma as the standard deviation. According to the 3 sigma principle, 68.27% of the data falls within mu±sigma, 95.45% of the data falls within mu±2sigma, and 99.73% of the data falls within mu±3sigma. Therefore, the dynamic threshold range is defined as mu±k sigma, where k is the threshold factor, and k takes the value of 2 or 3.

[0011] set a time window, adopt a moving average method to calculate the current moving average value of the direct current arc current signal in each time window, which is affected by the removal of the initial transient effect, and take it as the mu of the normal distribution under each window, and further calculate the standard deviation sigma of the normal distribution; set the dynamic threshold as k sigma;

[0012] By using the positive and negative deviations of the current moving average mu and the dynamic threshold k sigma, the upper boundary of the threshold range is set as the sum of the current moving average mu in each time window and the dynamic threshold k sigma, and the lower boundary is the difference between the current moving average mu in each time window and the dynamic threshold k sigma.

[0013] For the points corresponding to the transient current values exceeding the threshold boundary, mark them as potential fault points.

[0014] Preferably,

[0015] The threshold factor k is 2.

[0016] Preferably, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0017] Based on the minimum fault duration corresponding to the inverter preset by a plurality of previous experiments, filter the transient interference region with a duration less than the minimum fault duration, and keep other regions as potential effective fault regions.

[0018] Statistically count the total number of potential fault points in the potential effective fault region, and compare it with the fault point threshold preset by a plurality of previous experiments under the minimum fault duration condition. If the total number of points exceeds the fault point threshold, it is determined that there is a fault, otherwise it is determined that there is no fault.

[0019] Preferably, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0020] The noise signal is dynamically adjusted to simulate different switching frequencies and waveform characteristics of different inverters, and the output frequency and waveform type of the signal generator are changed, and the gain multiple of the power amplifier is changed to simulate the difference in noise intensity under different load conditions, bus voltage or inverter power level.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the beneficial effects that the economic cost is low, and the previous method needs to replace the inverter to adjust the switching noise characteristics, and the present method can simulate the noise characteristics by changing the signal generator output signal.

[0022] The description is only a summary of the technical solutions of the present application, in order to make the technical means of the present application more clear and understandable, to the extent that the person skilled in the art can implement according to the content of the description, and in order to make the and other purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the following is an example of the specific embodiments of the present application.

[0033] The application will be further explained with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0034] It should be noted that certain terms have been used throughout the specification and claims which have been used for descriptive purposes only and thus should not be construed as limiting. It is intended that the description and examples be considered as illustrative only of the principles of the application. The scope of the application is indicated by the appended claims.

[0035] For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the principles of the application, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will, nevertheless, be understood that no limitation of the scope of the application is intended. Any alterations and further modifications in the described embodiments, and any further applications of the principles of the application as described herein are contemplated as falling within the scope of the application.

[0036] For a better understanding of the application, Figures 1 to 7 A method for verifying the validity of a direct current arc current signal measurement is disclosed, comprising the following steps:

[0037] A direct current arc current signal without inverter switching noise and / or mixed with inverter switching noise (for example, 12 kHz frequency, 200 mA peak-peak inverter switching noise) is collected and analog-to-digital converted;

[0038] The analog-to-digital converted direct current arc current signal is pre-processed to obtain a direct current arc current signal without initial transient effect; for example, the signal within the initial 5-50 ms is ignored, or a sliding window average method is applied to eliminate the start-up impact;

[0039] Based on the premise that signal fluctuation obeys normal distribution, define μ as average value and σ as standard deviation, then according to 3σ principle, 68.27% data falls in μ±σ range, 95.45% data falls in μ±2σ range, and 99.73% data falls in μ±3σ range, thus define dynamic threshold range as μ±kσ, wherein k is threshold factor, k takes value 2 or 3;

[0040] For example, according to engineering practice, threshold factor k is 2 in most cases, thus preferably 2;

[0041] Set time window, adopt moving average method to calculate current moving average value of said direct current arc current signal removed from initial transient effect in each time window and take it as μ of normal distribution under each window, and further calculate standard deviation σ of normal distribution; set dynamic threshold as kσ;

[0042] Utilize positive and negative deviation of current moving average value μ and dynamic threshold kσ, set upper boundary of threshold range as sum of current moving average value μ in each time window and dynamic threshold kσ, and lower boundary as difference of current moving average value μ in each time window and dynamic threshold kσ;

[0043] For points corresponding to transient current value exceeding threshold boundary, mark them as potential fault points.

[0044] In another embodiment, to further improve reliability,

[0045] Based on minimum fault duration (for example 1ms) of the inverter corresponding to preset by pre-experiment, filter transient interference area with duration less than said minimum fault duration, and keep other areas as potential effective fault area;

[0046] Statistically count total point number of all potential fault points in potential effective fault area, and compare with fault point number threshold preset by pre-experiment under said minimum fault duration, if total point number exceeds fault point number threshold, determine that fault exists, otherwise determine that no fault exists.

[0047] For example, the direct current arc current signal measurement effectiveness verification method disclosed in the present application detects two kinds of direct current arc current signals mixed with 20kHz frequency, 500mA peak-peak value inverter switching noise and mixed with 32kHz frequency, 600mA peak-peak value inverter switching noise, and the results are as follows Figure 7The two signals actually exist faults and are detected as faults. In practical applications, there are many types of inverters, and the inverter switching noise waveforms, frequencies and peak-to-peak values generated by the inverters are different, so for a wider range of inverters, the time window, minimum fault duration, threshold factor and the like need to be determined by experiments to obtain different inverter switching noise interference conditions when the present application is applied.

[0048] In another embodiment, the following steps are further included:

[0049] The noise signal is dynamically adjusted to simulate different switching frequencies and waveform characteristics of different inverters, while the output frequency and waveform type of the signal generator are changed, and the gain multiple of the power amplifier is changed to simulate the difference in noise intensity under different load conditions, bus voltage or inverter power level.

[0050] For example, the switching frequencies and peak-to-peak noise of inverter models A and B are shown in Table 1:

[0051] .

[0052] It should be noted that when using inverter type A, the output frequency of the signal generator is set to 20 kHz, the waveform type is square wave, and the gain multiple of the power amplifier is changed to 1.5-3.0 to simulate different noise intensities under 1.0-3.6 kW non-inductive resistive load power changes, 193.5 V fixed bus voltage, and 0.5 A-1.0 A peak-to-peak value of low-power strings to high-power strings. When using inverter type B, the output frequency of the signal generator is set to 32 kHz, the waveform type is square wave, and the gain multiple of the power amplifier is changed to 2.2-2.5 to simulate the resonant characteristics of capacitive load, 193.5-450 V bus voltage fluctuation, and 0.6 A-0.7 A peak-to-peak value of 3.6 kW power level.

[0055] To verify the anti-interference and accuracy of the arc measurement of the 5kW photovoltaic inverter under full load conditions, a triangular wave with a peak-to-peak value of 200mA and a frequency of 12kHz is generated by adjusting the output of the signal generator according to the typical switching frequency range of the photovoltaic inverter (10kHz-30kHz) and the peak-to-peak value of the measured noise current data (up to 1%-5% of the rated current of the system). Based on signal compatibility, actual working condition coverage, and safety boundaries, the power amplifier gain can be adjusted in the range of 0.1 times to 10 times. For example, the power amplifier gain is set to 6 times, and the stepping motor of the arc generator is controlled to move the electrode rod at a set moving speed of 1mm / s, and the electrode rod is adjusted to move to 1mm to generate a stable and repeatable DC arc current signal under fault conditions. The inverter switching noise signal is simulated by adjusting the parameters of the signal generator, as shown in Figure 5 . The actual system inverter switching noise signal is as shown in Figure 6 .

[0056] 2) Start the oscilloscope acquisition function to record the DC arc current signal waveform output by the sensor (after converting the voltage to current through a non-inductive resistance load, through a current sensor) mixed with inverter switching noise;

[0057] For example, the wires of the arc circuit and the switching noise simulation circuit are simultaneously passed through a through-type current sensor, the sampling frequency of the oscilloscope is set to 100MS / s and the appropriate vertical / horizontal scale is set, the oscilloscope acquisition function is started, and the DC arc current signal waveform output by the sensor mixed with inverter switching noise is recorded, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0058] 3) Verify the measurement effectiveness: input the DC arc current signal mixed with inverter switching noise and the DC arc current signal without inverter switching noise into the arc fault detection algorithm respectively, obtain two kinds of judgment results corresponding to the two kinds of DC arc current signals, and compare the two kinds of judgment results with

[0095] ​​Further, the application simulates real arc fault scenarios by precisely controlling the electrode separation process, generating stable and repeatable DC arc current signals to provide real test inputs for detection algorithms.

Signal mixing and acquisition: the arc signal and the switching noise signal are collected synchronously to simulate the coexistence of the two in the actual system current environment, improving the authenticity of the test. Non-invasive measurement: the through-type sensor does not change the circuit structure, avoids introducing additional interference, and ensures measurement accuracy. Strong compatibility: suitable for various types of arc detection algorithm input interfaces, facilitating algorithm integration and verification. Change the output frequency and waveform of the signal generator, adjust the gain of the power amplifier to change the noise amplitude; collect mixed signals under different noise conditions multiple times to comprehensively evaluate algorithm performance, simulate different actual operating environments through multiple noise parameter combinations, and test the stability and accuracy of the algorithm under complex electromagnetic interference. Enhance the credibility of the verification results, avoid accidental errors caused by single noise condition verification, and improve the scientificity and reliability of algorithm evaluation. Support algorithm optimization iteration to provide rich test data support for subsequent improvement of the detection algorithm, guide parameter adjustment and model optimization. The collected mixed signals are input into the arc detection algorithm to be verified; the arc fault detection algorithm output arc judgment result is recorded; the actual arc state and the algorithm judgment are compared, and the accuracy rate and other indicators are calculated. Quantitative evaluation of detection effect: by comparing the actual arc state and the algorithm recognition result, the detection accuracy, false positive rate, and false negative rate of the algorithm are objectively evaluated. Closed-loop verification mechanism: form a closed-loop process of "signal input-algorithm processing-result comparison" for automated testing and batch verification.
