Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of distribution network detection technology, and in particular to an integrated live-line detection system for partial discharge of overhead distribution network lines based on a ubiquitous Internet of Things architecture. Background Technology
[0002] As a critical carrier of power transmission, overhead power distribution lines are exposed to complex environmental stresses for extended periods. Partial discharge caused by insulation degradation is the primary cause of line faults. Traditional detection methods rely on periodic power outage tests and manual handheld instrument inspections. This not only requires power interruptions resulting in economic losses but is also limited by long inspection cycles, insufficient blind zone coverage, and difficulty in capturing transient discharge defects. Although the pulse current method can detect partial discharges online, existing sensors have narrow bandwidth and low sensitivity, making it impossible to effectively couple high-frequency discharge signals. Furthermore, multi-terminal detection lacks precise clock synchronization, leading to large errors in discharge point location and delayed maintenance response.
[0003] In recent years, IoT technology has been gradually applied in the field of power monitoring. However, existing solutions mostly transmit raw data back to the cloud for processing. The massive transmission leads to network bandwidth congestion, and the edge side lacks real-time analysis capabilities. Although distributed sensor nodes can improve coverage density, due to limitations in communication latency and computing power, it is difficult to achieve microsecond-level time alignment of data from multiple terminals. This cannot meet the high-speed characteristics required for discharge pulse propagation, resulting in insufficient positioning accuracy, poor real-time fault warning, and difficulty in supporting preventive operation and maintenance decisions.

[0053] The working principle of the system of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific scenarios:
[0054] In the live-line detection scenario of overhead distribution lines, the pulse signal detection terminal first collects the partial discharge pulse signal generated during line operation. Paired dual-end detection modules, in conjunction with the edge gateway's synchronous pulse triggering module, inject high-voltage synchronous pulses into the line and record the injection time. The time calibration module calculates the signal propagation speed based on the round-trip delay between the two ends of the pulse, simultaneously triggering multi-end time synchronization calibration to ensure consistent time references across monitoring nodes. After the pulse signal detection terminal transmits the collected partial discharge pulse signal to the edge gateway, the edge analysis module extracts the amplitude, frequency, and time-domain characteristics of the pulse signal. Combining the time stamp of the synchronous pulse with the signal propagation speed, it generates a location distribution map of the partial discharge points. Subsequently, the edge gateway uploads this location distribution map and pulse characteristics to the cloud monitoring platform. The multi-end data fusion module merges the data uploaded by all edge gateways and outputs a global discharge point correction distribution map. The risk assessment module identifies the discharge type based on the discharge characteristic spectrum in this distribution map and generates an insulation status assessment result. Finally, the result feedback module provides a visualized assessment result, including discharge location and risk level, to the end user, achieving accurate detection, location, and insulation status assessment of partial discharges in overhead distribution lines.
[0055] Example 2
[0056] See Figures 2-3 The pulse signal detection end 1 includes a high-frequency inductive sensor 101 and a dual-end detection module 102. The high-frequency inductive sensor 101 is distributed across multiple monitoring nodes of the overhead line to collect partial discharge pulse signals generated during line operation in a non-contact manner. The dual-end detection module 102 is deployed at the start and end points of the line segment under test to inject and receive high-voltage synchronization pulses and to measure the distance of partial discharge based on the dual-end signals. The dual-end detection module 102 includes a high-voltage pulse injection unit, a signal acquisition unit, and a control unit. The high-voltage pulse injection unit injects high-voltage synchronization pulse signals into the cable. The signal acquisition unit collects partial discharge pulse signals and synchronization pulse signals. The control unit achieves dual-end time synchronization and calculates the location of the partial discharge occurrence point using a preset algorithm based on the propagation time of the synchronization pulse signal and the time difference between the arrival times of the partial discharge pulses at both ends.
[0057] The working principle of pulse signal detection terminal 1 is described in detail below with reference to specific scenarios:
[0058] In a specific scenario of partial discharge detection on overhead power distribution lines, the high-frequency inductive sensor at the pulse signal detection end serves as a sensing unit distributed across multiple monitoring nodes on the overhead line. It continuously collects partial discharge pulse signals generated during line operation in a non-contact manner, providing raw data for subsequent analysis. Meanwhile, the dual-end detection module deployed at the start and end points of the line segment under test injects high-voltage synchronous pulse signals into the cable through its high-voltage pulse injection unit. Simultaneously, the signal acquisition unit synchronously acquires the partial discharge pulse signals and the injected synchronous pulse signals. During this process, the control unit of the dual-end detection module first achieves time synchronization between the two ends to ensure that the time references at both ends are consistent. Then, based on the propagation time of the synchronous pulse signal and the time difference between the arrival of the partial discharge pulse at both ends, it accurately calculates the location of the partial discharge occurrence point through a preset algorithm. This, in conjunction with the high-frequency inductive sensor, completes the acquisition and positioning distance measurement of the partial discharge pulse signals of the overhead line, enabling the pulse signal detection end to effectively perceive and initially locate the partial discharge on the line.
[0059] Among them, the high-frequency inductive sensor is a spherical magnetic field sensor based on the principle of electric small antenna. The sensor includes a spherical electrode, a plate electrode, a filter amplifier circuit, a power supply module, and an adsorption structure. The adsorption structure is set at the sensor head and is used to fix the sensor to the metal surface of the circuit. The filter amplifier circuit integrates a filter element to extend the sensor's frequency band.
[0060] In this embodiment, the control unit is used to achieve time synchronization between the two ends, and calculates the location of the partial discharge occurrence point through a preset algorithm based on the propagation time of the synchronization pulse signal and the time difference between the arrival of the partial discharge pulse at both ends, including the following steps:
[0061] S11. Control unit in The high-voltage pulse injection unit is activated to inject high-voltage synchronous pulses into the cable and record the injection time. Simultaneously, it starts... Terminal signal acquisition unit;
[0062] The control unit, through its built-in timing controller, The high-voltage pulse injection unit is triggered to release a high-voltage synchronization pulse to the cable, and at the same time, a high-precision clock module is called to record the pulse injection time, thus starting synchronously. The terminal signal acquisition unit continuously captures electrical signals on the cable at a preset sampling frequency, including subsequent... The synchronization pulse and partial discharge pulse of the line feedback.
[0063] S12. The terminal signal acquisition unit receives After the synchronization pulse is injected, by Terminal control unit start The high-voltage pulse injection unit injects high-voltage synchronous pulses into the cable.

When the characteristic waveform of the injected pulse, such as amplitude and rise edge slope, matches a preset template, it is triggered. Synchronization logic of the terminal control unit, start The high-voltage pulse injection unit injects high-voltage synchronization pulses in reverse into the cable during this period. The terminal control unit synchronously records its own pulse injection time and communicates with the terminal control unit via a wireless synchronization protocol. The time reference is calibrated at both ends to ensure accurate time synchronization between the two ends.
[0065] S13. The terminal signal acquisition unit records the received signal. Timing of end-injection pulse Based on the formula The one-way propagation time of the pulse in the cable was calculated. ,in for End received The time for delaying the injection of its own pulse after the end pulse;
[0066] The terminal signal acquisition unit continuously samples, and when it detects... When the characteristic signal of the injected pulse is received, the clock module is triggered again to record the receiving time. .because The terminal pulse needs to pass through → Dissemination (time consumption) → End delay → End pulse reverse → Propagation (re-time consumption) Therefore, it satisfies the condition. The control unit strips away the problem by solving equations. End delay Divide the remaining time by 2 to obtain the one-way propagation time of the pulse in the cable. .
[0067] S14. Based on propagation time and wave velocity The location of the partial discharge point is calculated using a preset positioning algorithm.
[0068] 1. Extract End in time interval and End in time interval Partial discharge pulses acquired internally, among which It is an integer greater than 1. for The one-way transmission time is twice as long;

[0070] 3. Traverse all matching pulse pairs to generate a dot map representing the discharge frequency at different locations, and determine the final location of the partial discharge point based on the dot map.
[0071] The process of extracting partial discharge pulses: First, based on the one-way propagation time... Determine the time interval rules. End selection interval ( For integers greater than 1, utilize the periodicity of pulse propagation to ensure that the pulse within the interval is consistent with... (same round of propagation) End-to-end synchronization selection The interval was then selected by analyzing multi-dimensional characteristics such as pulse amplitude, frequency, and waveform slope. , Matching pulse pairs within the terminal interval are identified as bidirectional propagating pulses of the same discharge event. For each pair of matching pulses, the time difference between their arrival at both ends is calculated. Substitute into the formula , Total cable length For pulse wave velocity, based on And by deriving the line parameters in advance, the discharge point distance is obtained. Distance between ends Finally, all matched pulse pairs are traversed and marked on a distance-discharge frequency coordinate system. Cluster analysis of dense regions is used to determine the final location of the partial discharge point. The center of the densely marked area is the actual discharge location, thus realizing the complete process from two-end pulse interaction to precise discharge point localization.
[0072] In this embodiment, the dual-end detection module further includes a distributed parameter modeling unit, which is used to model and analyze the pulse coupling, propagation and detection process of the dual-end detection module.
[0073] The modeling process for the distributed parameter modeling unit includes:
[0074] S21. Divide the double-ended detection module into a coupling part, a transmission part, and a detection part, and establish a transmission line equation that includes mutual inductance per unit length, capacitance to ground, and resistance.
[0075] S22. Considering the impact of cable joints on the propagation of synchronization pulses, the time-domain waveform expression of synchronization pulses is modified.
[0076] S23. Perform frequency simulation on the transmission line model using simulation software to ensure that the amplitude-frequency characteristics match the actual detection characteristics to meet the set requirements.
[0077] Specifically, when the distributed parameter modeling unit executes S21, it first clearly divides the physical structure and signal flow of the double-ended detection module into a coupling part (including the coupling components between the high-voltage pulse injection unit and the line), a transmission part (i.e., the overhead cable under test), and a detection part (including the sensing components of the signal acquisition unit). Then, based on distributed parameter theory, it establishes transmission line equations for each part, incorporating unit-length mutual inductance (characterizing the electromagnetic induction between lines), unit-length capacitance to ground (reflecting the electric field coupling between the cable and the ground), and unit-length resistance (reflecting the ohmic loss of the cable) to describe the voltage and current propagation characteristics of the pulse signal in each part. When executing S22, because the cable intermediate joint has impedance discontinuity characteristics, it will cause reflection, attenuation, and waveform distortion during the propagation of the synchronization pulse. Therefore, the distributed parameter modeling unit analyzes the physical structure and electrical parameters of the joint to derive the signal transmission characteristics of each intermediate joint, and introduces these characteristics into the original expression of the synchronization pulse time-domain waveform to correct the waveform amplitude, rise slope, and oscillation components to accurately reflect the actual propagation state of the pulse after passing through the intermediate joint. When executing S23... At that time, the distributed parameter modeling unit calls the circuit simulation software, imports the established transmission line equation and the corrected waveform expression into the model, performs wideband frequency simulation on the transmission line model, obtains the amplitude-frequency characteristic curves at different frequencies, and then compares the simulation curve with the amplitude-frequency characteristic of the pulse signal collected in the actual operation of the dual-ended detection module. If the degree of agreement between the two does not meet the set requirements, the unit length parameter in the transmission line equation or the transmission characteristic parameter of the intermediate joint is adjusted until the degree of agreement between the simulated amplitude-frequency characteristic and the actual detection characteristic meets the set requirements, thereby completing the accurate modeling and analysis of the pulse coupling, propagation and detection process of the dual-ended detection module.
[0078] In this embodiment, the pulse signal detection terminal 1 further includes a leakage magnetic field power supply module 103, which is electrically connected to the high-frequency inductive sensor 101 and is used to power the sensor; the edge gateway integrates a low-power wireless communication unit to realize data transmission between the edge gateway and the cloud monitoring platform; it enters a sleep mode when there is no partial discharge signal, and automatically wakes up when the pulse signal is detected to exceed the trigger threshold.
[0079] The signal acquisition unit includes a voltage sensor, a current sensor, and a signal conditioning circuit. The signal conditioning circuit is used to convert the voltage amplitude of the sensor output signal to match the input range of the data processing chip. The conditioning circuit also integrates a filter capacitor to suppress noise interference. The signal acquisition unit uses a chip to control the data acquisition timing and is configured with a buffer unit to temporarily store the acquired data. After the detection cycle ends, the data is transmitted to the edge gateway.
[0080] Specifically, the leakage magnetic field power supply module utilizes the leakage magnetic field generated by the alternating current during overhead line operation. It couples this leakage magnetic field with a built-in energy extraction coil and converts it into electrical energy. After rectification and voltage regulation, the energy is stored in the energy storage unit, continuously powering the high-frequency inductive sensor. The low-power wireless communication unit of the edge gateway employs low-power communication technology, reducing energy consumption while ensuring data transmission. The pulse signal detection end uses a monitoring circuit to judge the signal status in real time. When there is no partial discharge signal, the sensor, signal acquisition unit, and communication unit enter a sleep mode together, retaining only the low-power wake-up circuit to monitor the pulse signal amplitude. When the signal exceeds the trigger threshold, the wake-up circuit triggers the system to resume operation. In the signal acquisition unit, voltage and current sensors acquire line electrical signals in real time. The signal conditioning circuit first filters out noise interference through an integrated filter capacitor, then amplifies the signal and converts the voltage amplitude to match the input range of the data processing chip. The data processing chip controls data acquisition according to a preset timing sequence, temporarily storing the acquired partial discharge pulse and synchronization pulse signals in a buffer unit. After the detection cycle ends, the data is transmitted to the edge gateway.
[0081] Example 3
[0082] In this embodiment, the cloud monitoring platform 3 also includes a multi-terminal data comprehensive analysis module, which has the following functions: supports spectrum analysis function, and can identify typical partial discharge types based on spectrum features; provides multiple detection mode switching, and supports multiple synchronization methods in multi-terminal detection mode; automatically collects the current ambient noise level, and supports setting trigger thresholds to filter effective partial discharge pulses; automatically generates detection reports based on multi-terminal data fusion results, and the reports include detection information, discharge information, insulation status assessment results and operation and maintenance suggestions; when the module judges the partial discharge signal, if the matching degree between the collected signal features and the preset discharge type features meets the set requirements, the corresponding discharge type is determined.
[0083] Specifically, when the multi-terminal data comprehensive analysis module implements the spectrum analysis function, it first receives the partial discharge pulse signal feature data uploaded by each edge gateway. Based on parameters such as pulse amplitude, phase, and frequency, it automatically generates the corresponding spectrum. Then, it retrieves the built-in typical discharge type feature library, which includes spectrum feature templates for types such as surface discharge, tip discharge, floating potential discharge, and internal hole discharge. The similarity between the acquired spectrum and each template is calculated through a feature comparison algorithm. If the similarity meets the set threshold, the current partial discharge type is accurately identified.
[0084] When implementing multiple detection mode switching functions, the module provides a visual operation interface. Users can select single-end detection, multi-end detection (master end), or multi-end detection (slave end) modes according to their detection needs. After switching to multi-end detection mode, it further supports the selection of different synchronization methods. If a satellite signal-dependent synchronization method is selected, the time of each monitoring node is calibrated by receiving satellite time signals. If a hybrid synchronization method is selected, pulse injection synchronization and external time signal dual calibration are combined to ensure that the multi-end synchronization time error meets the set requirements. When implementing the automatic acquisition of environmental noise and setting of trigger thresholds, the module controls the pulse signal detection end to acquire line signals under conditions without discharge interference at the initial stage of the detection cycle. The amplitude and frequency distribution characteristics of environmental noise are extracted through noise analysis algorithms to determine the current environmental noise level. At the same time, a threshold adjustment interface is provided. Users can set the trigger threshold to a specific multiple of the noise level according to the detection accuracy requirements. The module then filters the subsequently acquired pulse signals, eliminating noise signals with amplitudes lower than the threshold and retaining valid partial discharge pulses. When implementing the automatic report generation function, the module obtains the global discharge point correction distribution map and insulation status assessment results from the multi-terminal data fusion module, extracts the detection location, line parameters, and discharge information from the data uploaded from the edge gateway, integrates this information according to the preset report template, and generates a report containing basic detection information, detailed discharge data, insulation status level, and targeted operation and maintenance suggestions. It also supports exporting report files in specific formats according to user needs. When implementing the partial discharge signal judgment function, the module first preprocesses the collected pulse signals, then compares these features one by one with the features of each type in the preset discharge type feature library, calculates the feature matching degree, and if the matching degree meets the set requirements, determines that the current partial discharge signal corresponds to the preset discharge type. If the matching degree does not meet the requirements, it is marked as a signal to be confirmed and the user is prompted for further analysis, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the partial discharge type judgment.
