Description

Technical Field

[0002] Promoting the deep integration of digital technology with power transmission and distribution equipment to empower the digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading of the power grid is a crucial part of accelerating the planning and construction of a new energy system. Currently, my country's traditional power system is evolving into a new type of power system that is clean and low-carbon, safe and controllable, flexible and efficient, open and interactive, and smart and user-friendly. Intelligent circuit breakers, with their advantages in status sensing and performance evaluation, have been increasingly accepted and valued by enterprises.

[0003] However, existing technologies suffer from high computational complexity and poor real-time performance when analyzing the mechanical characteristic parameters of circuit breakers. For example, the traditional triangular iteration method used in patent CN116625667A requires 13 calculation steps and takes more than 50ms on the STM32F407 platform, which cannot meet the high-frequency response requirements of real-time monitoring and control of circuit breakers. The polynomial fitting method used in patent CN113155421A requires the pre-storage of hundreds of feature points, consuming a large amount of storage resources, which is not conducive to equipment miniaturization and cost control. Traditional geometric methods are prone to cumulative errors in multiple transmission conversions, resulting in large deviations in overtravel calculations and failing to accurately reflect the actual displacement of the contacts, which seriously affects the ability to identify faults such as early fatigue of springs and jamming of mechanisms.
