[0024] One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for locating faults in a distribution network. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating a power distribution network fault location method according to one embodiment of the present invention. The method includes: S1: Obtain the geographical location and connection relationship of the power distribution equipment in the target power distribution network, analyze the geographical location and connection relationship of the power distribution equipment, and determine the current topology of the target power distribution network; S2: Based on the topology, obtain the initial traveling wave signal between the initial node and any adjacent initial nodes; S3: In response to the fault signal of the target distribution network, determine the fault area of ​​the target distribution network and each target node directly adjacent to the fault area, and based on the fault area of ​​the target distribution network and each target node directly adjacent to the fault area, determine the traveling wave propagation path between each target node and the fault area. S4: Perform wavefront calibration correction processing on the initial traveling wave signal to obtain a corrected traveling wave signal; S5: Perform feature extraction on the modified traveling wave signal to obtain the time-domain waveform and frequency-domain features of the modified traveling wave signal; S6: Input the time-domain waveform, the frequency-domain characteristics, and the traveling wave propagation path into the constructed fault location model to obtain the fault location of the target distribution network.

[0025] Specifically, in step S1, the geographical coordinates and physical connection relationships of the power distribution equipment are obtained through a Geographic Information System (GIS), equipment ledger, or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The power distribution equipment includes at least transformers, circuit breakers, switches, and feeders.

[0026] Among them, the SCADA system focuses on monitoring real-time dynamic data, while the GIS system focuses on analyzing static geographic information.

[0027] Graph theory algorithms are used to construct node-edge models, forming a complete power grid topology graph, and determining the topology of the current target distribution network.

[0028] In step S2, the initial traveling wave signal between the initial node and any adjacent initial node is obtained based on the topology, including: identifying the topology using breadth-first search to obtain the initial node of the target distribution network; and calculating the electrical parameters of the lines between any adjacent initial nodes to obtain the initial traveling wave signal.

[0029] Specifically, the process begins with the power source point of the distribution network, serving as the initial node for breadth-first search (BFS) traversal. Preferably, the power source point includes at least substations and the starting point of main feeders. All adjacent nodes of the current power source point are then visited, such as connected distribution transformers and switchgear.

[0030] Key nodes are selected as initial nodes according to preset rules, and preferably, all primary power distribution nodes are selected as initial nodes.

[0031] Electrical parameters of the lines between adjacent initial nodes are calculated. Specifically, basic data such as line length, conductor material, and cross-sectional area are obtained, and the resistance, inductance, and capacitance per unit length are calculated to establish a distributed parameter model. By establishing the distributed parameter model, accurate electrical parameters can be provided for traveling wave propagation. The electrical parameters are simulated through electromagnetic transient simulation to obtain the traveling wave signal between adjacent nodes.

[0032] Preferably, the distributed parameter model is the Bergeron model.

[0033] Preferably, traveling wave sensors, such as high-frequency current transformers, can also be deployed in the power grid to collect traveling wave signals during normal operation.

[0034] In this process, the initial nodes are systematically identified through breadth-first search (BFS), and combined with electrical parameter calculation and traveling wave signal acquisition, a reliable topology and signal benchmark is provided for distribution network fault location, ensuring full coverage and accurate modeling of key nodes, and laying a data foundation for subsequent fault detection and location.

[0035] In step S3, in response to the fault signal of the target distribution network, the fault area of ​​the target distribution network and each target node directly adjacent to the fault area are determined.

[0036] When an abnormal electrical quantity is detected, a fault alarm is triggered. Preferably, the abnormal electrical quantity includes at least a sudden increase in current amplitude, voltage distortion, and a sudden appearance of a traveling wave signal.

[0037] The fault area here is mainly determined based on the power outage area.

[0038] Starting from the initially identified fault area boundary, based on the distribution network topology, all nodes directly electrically connected to this area are extracted from the initial nodes, i.e., target nodes. Target nodes include at least adjacent nodes near the power source side, adjacent nodes near the load side, and opposite nodes in parallel lines.

[0039] Based on the fault area of ​​the target distribution network and each target node directly adjacent to the fault area, the traveling wave propagation path between each target node and the fault area is determined. Specifically, the fault area is used as the starting point for path search. The improved Dijkstra algorithm is used to process the topology to obtain several traveling wave propagation paths between the target node and the fault area.

[0040] Specifically, based on the shortest path algorithm in graph theory, the shortest electrical path to the fault region is calculated starting from each target node. Here, the preferred shortest path algorithm is the improved Dijkstra algorithm.

[0041] It should be noted that for structures with loops, the K-shortest path algorithm is used to enumerate all possible paths to avoid missing any.

[0042] Specifically, the K-shortest path algorithm is used in complex multi-path networks (such as power distribution networks and transportation networks) to enumerate all possible shortest paths, overcoming the limitation of traditional shortest path algorithms that can only output a single path.

[0043] After obtaining the propagation path, the initial traveling wave waveforms between adjacent nodes under normal conditions can be retrieved and compared with the fault signal to verify whether the waveform distortion of the path is consistent. Alternatively, the fault location can be solved by using the arrival time difference of the traveling waves of multiple target nodes through overdetermined equations, thereby inferring the rationality of the path.

[0044] In step S4, the initial traveling wave signal is subjected to wavefront calibration correction processing to obtain a corrected traveling wave signal. Specifically, the initial traveling wave signal is subjected to soft thresholding and adaptive filtering processing in sequence to obtain a noise-suppressed traveling wave signal; the noise-suppressed traveling wave signal is subjected to wavefront calibration processing using the Tigger energy operator to obtain the corrected traveling wave signal.

[0045] Specifically, the initial traveling wave signal is decomposed into wavelet coefficients at multiple scales to obtain wavelet coefficients for different frequency sub-bands. A soft threshold is determined based on the statistical characteristics of noise. The soft threshold function is applied to the high-frequency detail coefficients while keeping the low-frequency approximation coefficients unchanged. The signal is then reconstructed using the corrected coefficients to obtain the initially denoised traveling wave signal.

[0046] In this process, by suppressing noise components in wavelet coefficients and preserving signal abrupt changes such as wavefronts, soft thresholding avoids the truncation effect of hard thresholding and reduces signal distortion.

[0047] Specifically, an adaptive filter is constructed using the normalized least mean square algorithm. The traveling wave signal after soft thresholding is input into the adaptive filter to obtain a noise estimate. The noise estimate is then removed from the traveling wave signal after soft thresholding to obtain a noise-suppressed traveling wave signal.

[0048] By applying the Tigger energy operator point by point to the noise-suppressed traveling wave signal, the local maxima of the energy sequence are found. The signal corresponding to the arrival time of the traveling wave front is the corrected traveling wave signal.

[0049] Among them, the Tigger energy operator can efficiently capture nonlinear transient features in signals and is more sensitive to local transients.

[0050] In step S5, feature extraction is performed on the modified traveling wave signal to obtain its time-domain waveform and frequency-domain features. This includes monitoring the modified traveling wave signal using a threshold method to obtain the arrival time of the traveling wave front; obtaining the time-domain waveform of the modified traveling wave signal based on the arrival time of the traveling wave front and the obtained signal amplitude of the modified traveling wave signal; and performing frequency-domain framing processing on the modified traveling wave signal using short-time Fourier transform to obtain its frequency-domain features.

[0051] Specifically, based on the statistical characteristics of the modified traveling wave signal, such as the mean and standard deviation of the signal amplitude, a dynamic threshold is set, and then a sliding time window is used to traverse the signal. When the signal amplitude exceeds the dynamic threshold, the arrival time of the traveling wave front of the modified traveling wave signal is obtained.

[0052] Centered on the arrival time of the traveling wave front, a time domain signal segment of fixed duration is extracted. Preferably, the fixed duration is from 1 millisecond before the arrival time of the traveling wave front to 5 milliseconds after the arrival time of the traveling wave front.

[0053] By performing amplitude normalization on a time-domain signal segment of a fixed duration to eliminate the influence of sensor range differences, the signal amplitude during this period can be obtained, thus correcting the time-domain waveform of the traveling wave signal.

[0054] Among them, the degree of amplitude attenuation reflects the distance of the fault; the greater the attenuation, the farther the distance.

[0055] The modified traveling wave signal is divided into short time frames, and a window is applied to each frame of data. The window can be a Hamming window or a Gaussian window to suppress spectral leakage.

[0056] Among them, the Hamming window and the Gaussian window are two commonly used window functions in signal processing, mainly used to truncate signals to reduce spectral leakage.

[0057] The short-time Fourier transform is used to perform a Fourier transform on each frame of signal to obtain a time-frequency matrix. Frequency domain features are extracted from the time-frequency matrix, including at least the dominant frequency component, harmonic distribution, and frequency band energy ratio.

[0058] The fault location of the target distribution network is obtained by inputting the time-domain waveform, the frequency-domain features, and the traveling wave propagation path into the constructed fault location model. This includes inputting the time-domain waveform and the frequency-domain features into the fault location model constructed using a deep learning network to obtain the fault feature waveform; and determining the fault location based on the fault feature waveform and the traveling wave propagation path.

[0059] In this process, by inputting the time-domain waveform and the frequency-domain features into a deep learning network, multimodal fault features are extracted, and then combined with the physical constraints of the traveling wave propagation path, a high-precision mapping from data to location is achieved.

[0060] After obtaining the fault location of the target distribution network, the distribution network fault location method further includes: obtaining the target fault point of the current fault signal; inputting the actual path distance along the line between the fault location and the target fault point into the fault location model, and optimizing the fault location model.

[0061] One embodiment of the present invention provides a distribution network fault location system. For details, please refer to [link / reference].

[0070] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are at least one of the following: This invention obtains the geographical location and connection relationship of power distribution equipment in a target power distribution network, analyzes the geographical location and connection relationship of the power distribution equipment, and determines the current topology of the target power distribution network; based on the topology, it obtains initial traveling wave signals between initial nodes and any adjacent initial nodes; in response to a fault signal in the target power distribution network, it determines the fault region of the target power distribution network and each target node directly adjacent to the fault region, and based on the fault region and each target node directly adjacent to the fault region, it determines the traveling wave propagation path between each target node and the fault region; it performs wavefront calibration correction processing on the initial traveling wave signal to obtain a corrected traveling wave signal; it extracts features from the corrected traveling wave signal to obtain the time-domain waveform and frequency-domain features of the corrected traveling wave signal; and it inputs the time-domain waveform, the frequency-domain features, and the traveling wave propagation path into a constructed fault location model to obtain the fault location of the target power distribution network.
