Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fault detection, in particular to a discharge fault positioning system, a discharge fault positioning method, equipment and a medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] GIL (Gas Insulated Transmission Lines) is widely used in long-distance high-voltage transmission projects due to its environmental friendliness, small land occupation, and high operation stability. However, during operation and withstand voltage test, GIL may occur discharge faults such as insulation surface flashover, solid insulation breakdown and air gap breakdown, resulting in power failure and endangering the safe and stable operation of the transmission system.

[0003] Due to the fully enclosed structure of GIL, it is extremely difficult to determine the discharge location for long-distance GIL of several kilometers once a fault occurs, and the maintenance cycle is long. Therefore, it is crucial to quickly and accurately locate the discharge fault of GIL.

[0004] In related technologies, there are mainly two types of positioning technologies for GIL discharge faults: (1) electrical method: the time difference of the transient overvoltage waveform generated by discharge is detected at both ends of GIL to calculate the discharge location. However, this method has limitations: first, the installation of sensors will damage the sealing of GIL, and cannot be installed on the already commissioned GIL; second, as the transient overvoltage waveform propagates along the GIL, its rise time will decay, resulting in reduced positioning accuracy, and the longer the GIL, the worse the positioning accuracy.

[0005] (2) ultrasonic method: a number of point ultrasonic sensors are arranged at certain intervals along the GIL pipe to detect ultrasonic and vibration signals generated by discharge. However, in this method, each sensor can only cover a few meters, and a large number of sensors need to be installed on the outer surface of the GIL tank, which not only has high cost, but also has low reliability due to the need to maintain a large number of sensors and power modules.

[0006] In summary, for the positioning needs of long-distance GIL discharge faults, there is an urgent need for a positioning system and method that can cover several kilometers in length, be easy to install, accurate in positioning, fast in response, and high in reliability. SUMMARY

[0045] Therefore, the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0046] (1) This invention can achieve long-distance, high-precision fault location. This invention utilizes distributed fiber optic acoustic sensing technology, which can realize real-time monitoring and location of partial discharge events within a range of several kilometers using only a single-mode silica fiber deployed along the GIL. Unlike electrical methods that rely on the time difference of arrival of the transmission waveform, this invention is based on the phase change of Rayleigh scattering in the fiber caused by the acoustic waves and vibrations generated at the discharge location. It is not affected by the attenuation and broadening of the pulse signal waveform during long-distance propagation, ensuring stable positioning accuracy even at long distances.

[0047] (2) The system structure of this invention is simple, and the engineering implementation complexity and maintenance cost are low. Both electrical methods and point ultrasonic methods require the deployment of a large number of sensors and power supply equipment. This invention only requires laying a passive optical fiber as a sensing medium outside the GIL pipe, which greatly simplifies the system structure. No opening treatment is required in the GIL tank during installation, making it suitable for the retrofitting of in-service equipment. The optical fiber itself is passive and requires no power supply, which significantly improves the reliability and service life of the system, making it suitable for discharge monitoring applications in long-distance, distributed, and complex environments.

[0048] (3) This invention possesses excellent noise immunity and coherent fading compensation mechanism. By acquiring dual-frequency beat signals, demodulating phase, and analyzing the similarity of phase matrix groups, combined with strategies for determining the location of coherent fading and performing signal filtering and linear interpolation, this invention constructs a reconstructed phase matrix with strong anti-interference capabilities and high data integrity. This effectively improves the stability and positioning accuracy of the system under complex backgrounds such as vibration noise and scattering randomness. The reliability of the system is significantly better than that of traditional fiber optic distributed sensing schemes.

[0049] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0057] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0058] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a discharge fault location system, method, device, and medium according to embodiments of the present invention. Addressing the problems of high cost, low reliability, and difficulty in long-distance GIL discharge fault location technology mentioned in the background section, the present invention provides a discharge fault location system, comprising a laser, first / second acousto-optic modulators, an optical amplifier, a balanced photodetector, and a data acquisition card. The laser is modulated into a first pulse sequence and then split. A portion of the first pulse sequence is delayed to obtain a delayed pulse sequence, and the remaining first pulse sequence is modulated to obtain a second pulse sequence. The two pulse sequences are amplified and injected into a sensing optical fiber to obtain a target signal. The sensing optical fiber is disposed on the outer surface of the GIL pipe to be detected and converts the target signal into a voltage signal. Discharge fault location is performed based on the voltage signal. Therefore, the present invention solves the problems of high cost, low reliability, and difficulty in long-distance GIL discharge fault location technology. It can cover lengths of several kilometers, is easy to install, provides accurate positioning, and has high reliability.

[0059] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a discharge fault location system provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the discharge fault location system 10 includes: a laser 100, a first acousto-optic modulator 200, a delay fiber 300, a second acousto-optic modulator 400, an optical amplifier 500, a balanced photodetector 600, and a data acquisition card 700.

[0061] The system includes: a laser 100 for emitting laser light; a first acousto-optic modulator 200 for modulating the laser light to obtain a first pulse sequence; a delay fiber 300 for obtaining a delayed pulse sequence from a portion of the first pulse sequence; a second acousto-optic modulator 400 for modulating the remaining pulse sequence in the first pulse sequence to obtain a second pulse sequence; an optical amplifier 500 for amplifying the combined pulse sequence generated from the delayed pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence and injecting it into the sensing fiber through a circulator to obtain a target signal, wherein the sensing fiber is disposed on the outer surface of the GIL pipe to be detected; a balanced photodetector 600 for converting the target signal output from the circulator into a voltage signal; and a data acquisition card 700 for acquiring the voltage signal and locating the discharge fault based on the voltage signal.

[0062] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, a sensing optical fiber can be installed on the outer wall of the GIL pipe to be detected. Preferably, the sensing optical fiber is a single-mode silica optical fiber, used to sense the sound waves and vibration signals generated by the GIL discharge. One end of the sensing optical fiber is connected to the discharge fault location system 10 of this embodiment of the invention.

[0063] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, a laser 100 is used to generate a narrow-linewidth continuous laser; an isolator is used to prevent the forward-propagating laser from being reflected back into the laser; a first optical coupler to a fourth optical coupler are used for optical path splitting and combining; a first acousto-optic modulator 200 is used to modulate the continuous laser into pulsed light, while introducing different frequency shifts into the pulsed light; a signal generator is used to drive the first acousto-optic modulator to modulate the continuous laser into pulsed probe light and control the width of the probe light pulse; a delay fiber 300 is used to generate a time delay for the pulsed light; and an optical amplifier is used. 500, preferably, the optical amplifier 500 can be an erbium-doped fiber amplifier, which is used to amplify the pulsed light power; circulator, the probe light is input from the first port of the circulator and output from the second port of the circulator into the sensing fiber, the returned optical signal is input from the second port of the circulator and output from the third port of the circulator; balanced photodetector 600 is used to differentially amplify the optical signal, convert it into an electrical signal, and output it to the acquisition card 700; acquisition card 700 is used to record sensing data and locate discharge faults based on the sensing data.

[0064] In actual operation, laser 100 emits narrow-linewidth continuous light. After passing through the isolator and the first optical coupler C1, most of the power of the continuous light enters the first acousto-optic modulator 200, while a small portion of the power serves as the local oscillator. The first acousto-optic modulator 200 modulates the continuous light into optical pulses with a width on the nanosecond scale and introduces them into the optical frequency. The frequency shift of the light forms a first pulse sequence PS1. The generated Rayleigh scattered light mixes with the local oscillator light to form a first beat frequency signal Ub1 with a frequency of Δf1. The PS1 pulse light from the first acousto-optic modulator 200, after passing through the second optical coupler C2, is half of which passes through the second acousto-optic modulator 400 to form a frequency shift of Δf1. The second pulse sequence PS2 generates Rayleigh scattered light, which mixes with the local oscillator light to form a second beat frequency signal Ub2 with a frequency of Δf2; the other half of the first pulse sequence PS1 passes through the delay fiber 300 and then converges with the first pulse sequence PS2 at the third optical coupler C3. After being amplified by the optical amplifier 500, it is injected into the sensing fiber by the circulator.

[0065] The sensing fiber adopts a tight-buffered optical cable structure with length scale markings. The outer sheath of the optical cable is pre-marked with precise length scale information. After installation, the length of the sensing optical cable is measured and the reflection characteristics are detected by combining optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) technology. This allows the relative distance coordinates calculated in the system to be calibrated with the actual length of the optical cable. By establishing a one-to-one correspondence between the system positioning distance and the physical length of the optical cable, the fault location results are accurately matched with the actual geographical location, improving the absolute accuracy of fault location and the operability in engineering.

[0066] Optionally, in some embodiments, it further includes: a first optical coupler to a fourth optical coupler.

[0067] The system includes a first optical coupler C1 positioned between the laser and the first acousto-optic modulator, used for coupling the laser; a second optical coupler C2, one end of which is connected to the first acousto-optic modulator 200, and the other end of which is connected to one end of the delay fiber 300 and one end of the second acousto-optic modulator 400, used for coupling a first pulse sequence; a third optical coupler C3, one end of which is connected to the other end of the delay fiber 300 and the other end of the second acousto-optic modulator 400, and the other end of which is connected to an optical amplifier 500, used for coupling the delayed pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence to generate a converged pulse sequence; and a fourth optical coupler C4, one end of which is connected to a circulator, and the other end of which is connected to a balanced photodetector 600, used for coupling the target signal.

[0068] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first end of the circulator is connected to the output of the optical amplifier 500, the second end of the circulator is connected to the sensing optical fiber, and the third end of the circulator is connected to the fourth optical coupler C4.

[0069] Therefore, this embodiment of the invention uses optical fiber as the sensing medium and optical fiber distributed acoustic sensing technology. Only one optical fiber is placed on the outer surface of the GIL pipe as a sensor to achieve accurate and rapid location of discharge faults. This avoids drilling holes in the GIL to install sensors and also avoids installing a large number of point sensors. At the same time, the positioning accuracy is not affected by the length of the GIL and the transmission process of the discharge signal, and the same positioning accuracy can be maintained over a distance of hundreds of meters to several kilometers.

[0070] The discharge fault location system proposed in this invention includes: a laser, a first acousto-optic modulator, a second acousto-optic modulator, an optical amplifier, a balanced photodetector, and a data acquisition card. The laser is modulated into a first pulse sequence and then split. A portion of the first pulse sequence is delayed to obtain a delayed pulse sequence, and the remaining first pulse sequence is modulated to obtain a second pulse sequence. Both pulse sequences are amplified and injected into a sensing optical fiber to obtain a target signal. The sensing optical fiber is disposed on the outer surface of the GIL (Gas Inlet Lid) to be detected and converts the target signal into a voltage signal. Discharge fault location is then performed based on the voltage signal. This invention solves the problems of high cost, low reliability, and difficulty in long-distance GIL discharge fault location technology. It can cover lengths of several kilometers, is easy to install, provides accurate location, and has high reliability.

[0071] Next, the discharge fault location method proposed according to an embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0072] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the discharge fault location method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0073] In step 301, laser light is emitted by a laser.

[0074] In step 302, the laser is modulated by the first acousto-optic modulator to obtain the first pulse sequence.

[0075] In step 303, a delayed pulse sequence is obtained by using a delayed optical fiber to process a portion of the pulse sequence in the first pulse sequence.

[0076] In step 304, a second pulse sequence is obtained by modulating the remaining pulse sequence in the first pulse sequence using a second acousto-optic modulator.

[0077] In step 305, the converged pulse sequence generated by the delayed pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence is amplified by an optical amplifier and then injected into the sensing fiber through a circulator to obtain the target signal, wherein the sensing fiber is disposed on the outer surface of the GIL pipe to be detected.

[0078] In step 306, the target signal output from the circulator is converted into a voltage signal by a balanced photodetector.

[0079] In step 307, the voltage signal is acquired by the acquisition card, and the discharge fault is located based on the voltage signal.

[0080] Optionally, in some embodiments, discharge fault location based on voltage signals includes: separating the voltage signals to obtain a first beat frequency signal and a second beat frequency signal; demodulating the first beat frequency signal and the second beat frequency signal to obtain first phase information and second phase information, and performing distance-time-phase transformation on the first phase information and the second phase information to obtain a first phase matrix and a second phase matrix; performing similarity analysis on the first phase matrix and the second phase matrix to obtain the difference in phase standard deviation between corresponding positions, determining a reconstruction strategy based on the difference in phase standard deviation between corresponding positions and a first preset threshold, and obtaining a reconstructed phase matrix based on the reconstruction strategy; traversing the phase arrays of the reconstructed phase matrix at all distance points, calculating the phase standard deviation of each phase array, selecting the maximum value among all phase standard deviations, and determining whether the maximum value is greater than a second preset threshold; if the maximum value is greater than the second preset threshold, then determining the distance point corresponding to the maximum value as the discharge fault point.

[0081] The first and second preset thresholds can be set by the user, obtained through a limited number of experiments, or obtained through a limited number of computer simulations; no specific limitations are made here.

[0082] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, two sets of pulsed probe lights, PS1 and PS2, with different frequency shifts are generated by two acousto-optic modulators and injected into sensing optical fibers laid outside the GIL, respectively. Rayleigh scattering signals are generated within the sensing optical fibers. After mixing with the local oscillator light, a first beat frequency signal and a second beat frequency signal are generated, denoted as follows: U b1 and U b2 Data was collected using a data acquisition card. U b1 and U b2 After the voltage signal, a bandpass filter is used to filter the frequency Δ f 1 First beat frequency signal U b1 and frequency Δ f 2 Second beat frequency signal U b2 Separate the two sets of beat frequency signals, demodulate their phase information, and transform them by distance-time-phase transformation to form two sets of distance-time-phase matrices, denoted as the first phase matrix A1 and the second phase matrix A2, respectively.

[0083] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a reconstruction strategy is determined based on the difference in phase standard deviation between corresponding positions and a first preset threshold, and a reconstructed phase matrix is ​​obtained based on the reconstruction strategy, including: determining whether the difference in phase standard deviation between corresponding positions is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold; if the difference in phase standard deviation between corresponding positions is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, then the phase signal corresponding to the pulse sequence with small variance is selected for linear interpolation, and the pulse sequence after linear interpolation is filled into the data points of another pulse sequence to obtain the reconstructed phase matrix.

[0084] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 As shown, the system performs group similarity analysis on the first phase matrix A1 and the second phase matrix A2, and calculates the difference Δ between the phase standard deviations of their corresponding positions. S This is used to determine whether there is fading noise caused by coherent fading in the two sets of signals.

[0085] If | ΔS |Greater than or equal to the first preset threshold T If 1 is an error, then coherent fading is considered to have occurred at that location, and fading noise exists in both signal sets. Therefore, the phase signal corresponding to the pulse sequence with the smaller variance is selected at that location, and linear interpolation is performed to fill in the data points of the other pulse sequence, forming the reconstructed distance-time-phase matrix A. The phase array of A is traversed at all distance points, its phase standard deviation S is calculated, and the maximum standard deviation is selected. S max ,like S max Exceeding the set second threshold T 2. If the location is determined to be a discharge fault point, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5 As shown.

[0086] Optionally, in some embodiments, after determining whether the difference in phase standard deviation between corresponding positions is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, the method includes: if the difference in phase standard deviation between corresponding positions is less than the first preset threshold, then the phases in the first phase matrix and the second phase matrix are interleaved and spliced ​​in time sequence to obtain the reconstructed phase matrix.

[0087] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 As shown, if | ΔS | Less than the first preset threshold T If 1, it is considered that both sets of signals have correctly acquired the disturbance information at this location, and no coherent fading has occurred at this location. Then, the two sets of vectors are cross-stitched according to the time sequence.

[0088] Optionally, in some embodiments, after determining whether the maximum value is greater than the second preset threshold, the method includes: if the maximum value is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, then determining that no discharge fault has occurred.

[0089] Specifically, if S max Not exceeding the second preset threshold T If 2, then it is determined that no discharge fault has occurred.

[0090] Therefore, this embodiment of the invention is based on distributed fiber optic acoustic sensing technology, and achieves accurate location of discharge faults by demodulating the phase of the Rayleigh scattering signal generated by two frequencies of probe light in the optical fiber and the beat frequency signal of the local oscillator light.

[0091] It should be noted that the foregoing explanation of the discharge fault location system embodiment also applies to the discharge fault location method of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0092] The discharge fault location method proposed in this embodiment of the invention involves separating a voltage signal to obtain a first beat frequency signal and a second beat frequency signal, demodulating the first and second beat frequency signals to obtain first and second phase information, performing a distance-time-phase transformation on the first and second phase information to obtain a first phase matrix and a second phase matrix, performing similarity analysis on the first and second phase matrices to obtain the difference in phase standard deviation between corresponding positions, determining a reconstruction strategy based on the difference in phase standard deviation between corresponding positions and a first preset threshold, obtaining a reconstructed phase matrix based on the reconstruction strategy, traversing the phase arrays of the reconstructed phase matrix at all distance points, calculating the phase standard deviation of each phase array, selecting the maximum value among all phase standard deviations, and determining whether the maximum value is greater than a second preset threshold. If the maximum value is greater than the second preset threshold, the distance point corresponding to the maximum value is determined as the discharge fault point. This solves the problems of high cost, low reliability, and difficulty in achieving long-distance GIL discharge fault location technology. This invention can cover lengths of several kilometers, is easy to install, provides accurate positioning, and has high reliability.
