Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medium and low voltage fault location, and in particular relates to a medium and low voltage fault reporting method and system based on power quality analysis. Background Art
[0002] Currently, fault detection and location in medium and low voltage distribution networks primarily rely on traditional overcurrent protection, voltage protection, and fault indicator methods based on data collected by feeder terminal units (FTUs) and distribution terminal units (DTUs). While these methods can provide a preliminary assessment of the faulty section to a certain extent, they still have significant limitations. For one thing, traditional protection methods lack selectivity in complex distribution networks with multiple branches and power sources, making them prone to false trips or failures. Furthermore, fault indicators based on simple threshold comparisons are susceptible to load fluctuations, current injection from distributed generation (DGs), and high-resistance ground faults, resulting in insufficient sensitivity and accuracy.
[0003] In recent years, with the development of smart grid technology, several fault location methods based on fault waveform characteristics, traveling wave principles, and artificial intelligence algorithms have been proposed. However, these methods often face significant challenges in their widespread application in practical medium and low voltage distribution scenarios due to their demanding and expensive sampling equipment or their reliance on extensive historical data and high computing power. Existing methods often struggle to accurately identify fault locations in complex situations, such as high-resistance grounding and intermittent arc faults. Consequently, fault troubleshooting still relies heavily on manual line inspections, which is inefficient and prolongs power outages for users. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a medium and low voltage fault reporting method and system based on power quality analysis, which is used to solve the technical problem that it is difficult to accurately identify the fault location, resulting in fault troubleshooting still relying heavily on manual line inspections, which is inefficient and prolongs power outage time for users.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of 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. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0013] See also Figure 1 , which shows a flow chart of a medium and low voltage fault reporting method based on power quality analysis of the present application.
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for reporting medium and low voltage faults based on power quality analysis specifically includes the following steps: Step S101 : collecting power quality data of low-voltage nodes in a power grid, and calculating power quality indicators based on the power quality data. The power quality indicators include voltage deviation, frequency deviation, and total harmonic distortion.
[0015] In this step, the voltage deviation The calculation formula is: , Where, To actually measure the voltage, is the rated voltage; Frequency deviation The calculation formula is: , Where, is the actual system frequency, is the rated frequency; Total harmonic distortion The calculation formula is: , Where, is the effective value of the fundamental voltage, is the effective value of the hth harmonic voltage, is the highest harmonic order considered.
[0016] Step S102: determine whether each power quality indicator is greater than a corresponding preset threshold.
[0017] In a specific embodiment, after determining whether each power quality indicator is greater than a corresponding preset threshold, if each power quality indicator is not greater than the corresponding preset threshold, fault reporting information is not directly generated.
[0018] Step S103: If a certain power quality indicator is greater than a preset threshold value corresponding to the power quality indicator, the fault abnormality type of the power quality data is identified, and the improved impedance method is used to calculate the corrected impedance value from the fault point to the monitoring point, and the fault section is located in combination with the theoretical impedance.
[0019] In this step, if the voltage deviation exceeds the threshold and lasts for the set time, it is identified as a voltage sag or swell; if the frequency deviation exceeds the frequency threshold, it is identified as a frequency limit violation; if the total harmonic distortion rate exceeds the distortion rate threshold, it is identified as a harmonic excess.
[0020] It should be noted that the modified impedance value from the fault point to the monitoring point is calculated according to the improved impedance method, and the expression is: , , Where, To correct the impedance value, For improved impedance, is the angular frequency, is the line-to-ground capacitance, for, is the voltage before the fault, is the fault voltage, is the fault current; Based on the line length in the topology model The theoretical impedance is calculated by using the unit impedance: , , Where, For theoretical resistance, is the unit impedance, is the resistance component, is the imaginary unit of the reactance component, is the imaginary part used to represent impedance; The calculated corrected impedance value is matched with each theoretical impedance value, and the section with the smallest error is selected as the candidate fault section; In the selected candidate fault section, the distance between the fault point and the starting point of the candidate fault section is calculated according to the corrected impedance value. The expression is: , Where, is the distance between the fault point and the starting point of the candidate fault section, is the resistance per unit length, is the real part operator of the complex impedance, that is, taking the complex resistance component, is the equivalent impedance on the power supply side.
[0021] Step S104: generating fault reporting information based on the identification result and the fault section location, and sending the fault reporting information to a monitoring center or an operation and maintenance terminal.
[0022] In summary, the method of the present application, by introducing correction factors such as ground capacitance compensation and voltage change before and after the fault, effectively overcomes the measurement error problem caused by the traditional impedance method in medium and low voltage distribution networks due to unstable line parameters and the complexity of fault characteristics caused by the access of distributed power sources, and greatly improves the accuracy and anti-interference ability of fault impedance calculation. Based on the rapid matching and screening of accurate corrected impedance values and theoretical impedance values of each section in the power grid topology model, the system can efficiently and accurately lock the candidate fault section, and further calculate the precise location of the fault point through the algorithm. This technical means greatly improves the accuracy and reliability of fault section positioning, and narrows the fault search range from traditional manual line patrol to specific sections or even specific towers, enabling operation and maintenance personnel to respond quickly and carry out precise maintenance, significantly shortening the fault outage time and improving power supply reliability. At the same time, this automated and intelligent positioning method reduces dependence on manual experience, reduces operation and maintenance costs, and provides core technical support for building an efficient and strong smart distribution network.
