Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of cable fault detection, and particularly relates to a distribution network cable early insulation fault detection positioning method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key carrier for transmitting electric energy, the integrity of the insulation layer of a power cable directly determines the safety and reliability of power grid operation. During long-term operation of the cable, the insulation performance of the cable gradually deteriorates due to multiple stresses such as electricity, heat, machinery and environment, and eventually may lead to insulation breakdown, causing power interruption and even safety accidents. Therefore, how to effectively monitor and healthily evaluate the insulation state of the cable and realize early warning of fault risks is an important problem in the field of power system operation and maintenance. At present, the monitoring and evaluation of the insulation state of the cable mainly has the following limitations:

[0003] 1. Most of the existing methods focus on online monitoring data (such as partial discharge, dielectric loss, temperature, etc.) of the cable after being put into operation, and generally ignore the initial insulation damage of the cable caused by extrusion, bending, scratching, etc. during the early stages of transportation, laying and installation. These congenital defects are the potential source and weak point of accelerated insulation deterioration during subsequent operation, and ignoring this factor will lead to incomplete basis for state evaluation and deviation of prediction results from reality.

[0004] 2. Most evaluation models are based on statistical analysis of current or historical operation state to judge the overall health condition or estimate the remaining life. They lack fine analysis of the continuous distribution characteristics of insulation damage along the length direction of the cable and cannot effectively integrate initial damage information to dynamically and continuously predict the future state of each unit length section of the cable. This makes it difficult to accurately locate the specific high-risk section for early warning and cannot provide quantitative judgment of the risk situation in the near future.

[0005] 3. The traditional state evaluation results are often macroscopic, and it is difficult for operation and maintenance personnel to intuitively and quantitatively know the risk of failure in the near future from the evaluation report, which is not conducive to the development of accurate and timely preventive maintenance strategies. In order to solve the problems in the background art, the application designs a distribution network cable early insulation fault detection positioning method and system. SUMMARY

[0042] To solve the technical problems presented in the background art, the present application provides a preferred embodiment:

[0043] The specific content of the present embodiment is:

[0049] S13, store the obtained data in a storage component for use in the analysis process;

[0050] S2, as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the continuous damage degree of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable installation stage is analyzed based on the insulation layer damage condition data in the cable installation stage;

[0051] S21, presetting the unit length section of the cable in the cable installation stage, obtaining the insulation layer damage type data, the thickness data of each type of damage, the number of damage points data, the damage type data of each damage point and the damage area data corresponding to each unit length section of the cable; It should be noted that each unit length section of the cable is an equal length unit length section;

[0052] S22, obtaining the damage degree analysis result of each damage point of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable installation stage from the insulation layer damage type data, the thickness data of each type of damage and the damage area data corresponding to each unit length section of the cable;

[0053] In this embodiment, S22 includes the following specific steps: analyzing the damage degree of each damage point of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable installation stage according to the insulation layer damage type data, the thickness data of each type of damage, the damage type data of each damage point and the damage area data corresponding to each unit length section of the cable, wherein the damage degree analysis process of the jth damage point of the ith unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable installation stage is: , j is the number corresponding to each damage point, j is any one of 1 to M, M is the maximum value of the number corresponding to each damage point, i is the number corresponding to each unit length section, i is any one of 1 to N, N is the maximum value of the number corresponding to each unit length section, q is the number corresponding to each damage type, q is any one of 1 to X, X is the maximum value of the number corresponding to each damage type, is the original thickness of the cable insulation layer, is the insulation layer damage thickness corresponding to the jth damage point on the ith unit length section, is the outer surface area of the unit length section of the cable, is the damaged cable outer surface area corresponding to the jth damage point on the ith unit length section, is the weight corresponding to the qth damage type of the jth damage point, is the thickness damage sensitivity coefficient, is the area damage nonlinear coefficient, and are the thickness damage weight and the area damage weight respectively; It should be noted that the insulation layer damage types include but are not limited to scratches, indentations, cracks, penetrations and burns, etc., and the weights of which are set as follows: scratches 1.5, indentations 2.5, burns 3.0, cracks 3.5, penetrations 4.0, and the weights are multiplied because the risk degree of different damage types is different, for example, the burn is twice the scratch, which reflects the risk amplification effect; The thickness damage sensitivity coefficient is 0.7 (used to control the steepness of the influence of thickness damage on the result), Area damage non-linear coefficient is 0.3 (used to control the initial influence degree of small area damage); The greater the result indicates the more serious the thickness damage, due to the growth characteristics of the exponential, when the thickness damage is more serious, that is The greater the result indicates the more serious the thickness damage, due to the growth characteristics of the exponential, when the thickness damage is more serious, that is The value will increase sharply, Using the exponential function exp can reflect the phenomenon that the reduction of insulation thickness leads to the non-linear increase of electric field strength, at this time the risk of breakdown will rise sharply; The greater the result indicates the more serious the area damage, The setting is because the influence of area damage has a marginal diminishing effect, that is, when a small scratch appears, it destroys the integrity of the insulation layer and may become the starting point of partial discharge, at this time the risk is significantly increased, but as the damage area continues to expand, the speed of risk increase will slow down, at this time the decisive factor gradually shifts to damage depth, the exponential decay term Can represent this rule: that is, when Is very small, Is approximately linear and rapidly increasing; when Increases, the growth gradually slows down and approaches 1, Is a measure of the spatial coverage of the area damage;

[0054] S23, the damage degree analysis result of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable installation stage is obtained from the damage degree analysis result of each damage point of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable installation stage and the number of damage points corresponding to each unit length section of the cable;

[0055] In this embodiment, the specific steps of S23 are: according to the damage degree analysis result of each damage point of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable installation stage and the number of damage points corresponding to each unit length section of the cable, the damage degree analysis of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable installation stage is performed, wherein the damage degree analysis calculation formula of the i-th unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable installation stage is: Wherein, is the number of damage points corresponding to the i-th unit length section of the cable, is the normalized distance of the j-th damage point of the cable from the center of the i-th unit length section, is the damage point number influence coefficient; it should be noted that, The normalized distance of the j-th damage point of the cable from the center of the i-th unit length section is divided by the half-section length (when the damage point is located at the center of the section, that is =0, +1 is added to avoid division by zero); The value is 0.2, which is used to control the strength of the cumulative effect of multiple damage points; is the distance reciprocal ) weighted average, the formula in the numerator denominator the meaning: is the standard form of weighted average (i.e. distance weight the greater), the numerator is the weighted sum, the denominator is the weight sum; The logarithmic function is used to reflect the marginal diminishing effect (for example, the 100th damage point contributes much less to the risk than the first damage point), and the risk of multiple small damages is not simply additive. Using the logarithmic function can ensure that the risk grows faster (i.e. accumulates) when the number of damage points is small, but grows slower when the number of damage points is large, avoiding the risk of masking individual fatal damage by a large number of minor damage; Reflects the density of each damaged section.

[0056] S24, the cable installation stage insulation layer each unit length section damage degree analysis result obtained by the cable installation stage insulation layer each unit length section continuous damage degree analysis result;

[0057] In this embodiment, the specific steps of S24 are: according to the cable installation stage insulation layer each unit length section damage degree analysis result, the cable installation stage insulation layer each unit length section continuous damage degree analysis is carried out, wherein the cable installation stage insulation layer each unit length section continuous damage degree analysis formula is: , wherein, is the damage degree analysis result corresponding to the i-1 section of the cable unit length section, is the damage degree analysis result corresponding to the i+1 section of the cable unit length section, is the space influence coefficient; It should be noted that the continuous damage degree of each unit length section is analyzed because the electric field, thermal field and mechanical stress are continuously distributed on the cable, and serious damage of a section will cause distortion of the electric field and temperature distribution of the adjacent section, thereby amplifying the risk of original damage of the adjacent section, and making the originally safe damage point unsafe, The value is 0.3;

[0058] S3, based on the cable running state data after being put into use and the cable installation stage insulation layer each unit length section continuous damage degree analysis result, the cable usage stage insulation layer each unit length section future period running state prediction analysis is carried out;

[0059] As shown in Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the specific steps of S3 are:

[0060] S31, according to the real-time environmental temperature data after the cable is put into use, the rated temperature data, the future period environmental temperature prediction value data, the load current data and the continuous damage degree analysis result of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable installation stage, the future period operation temperature prediction analysis of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable use stage is carried out, wherein the future period operation temperature prediction analysis formula of the i-th unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable use stage is: Wherein, t is the number corresponding to each period after the cable is put into use, t is any one of 1 to G, G is the maximum value of the number corresponding to each period of the insulation layer in the cable use stage, is the environmental temperature of the i-th unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable use stage in t period, is the environmental temperature of the i-th unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable use stage in t+1 period, is the load current of the i-th unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable use stage in t+1 period, Ie is the rated current, is the rated temperature rise; it should be noted that all the heat of the cable is finally dissipated to the surrounding environment, so the conductor temperature must be accumulated from the ambient temperature, and the average value of the current period environmental temperature and the future period environmental temperature prediction value is used as the basic value of the future period cable working temperature, which is the first order approximation of the environmental temperature change in time step t, that is, the trapezoidal method is used instead of the rectangular method to improve the precision of the operation temperature prediction analysis process when the environmental temperature changes rapidly; in the formula Part of the average of the adjacent period environmental temperature is used, because the cable has thermal inertia, that is, the temperature cannot respond to the instantaneous jump of the current; in the formula The square is used because according to the Joule law, the conductor resistance heating power is proportional to the square of the current, and at the same time it represents the normalized load rate of the cable, which converts the load current value into a ratio relative to full load, and then multiplies the rated temperature rise (i.e. the formula Part), so that the temperature rise of the cable under this load rate is obtained; in the formula Part represents that the damaged part of the cable insulation layer under the load current generates Times of the additional Joule heat, that is, the theoretical temperature rise value determined by the load current, which exceeds the environmental temperature.

[0061] S32, according to the future period operation temperature prediction analysis result of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable use stage, the highest long-term working temperature data of the cable and the activation energy data of the cable insulation layer, the future period operation state prediction analysis of each unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable use stage is carried out, wherein the future period operation state prediction analysis calculation formula of the i-th unit length section of the insulation layer in the cable use stage is: Wherein, The prediction analysis result of the i-th unit length section of the insulation layer of the cable in the t+1 period of the use stage, is the maximum long-term working temperature of the cable, Ea is the activation energy of the insulation layer, and k is the Boltzmann constant; it should be noted that, represents the aging rate of the cable in the future period, and is a dimensionless multiple (i.e., when is equal to 2, it means that the aging speed of the cable at this temperature is 2 times that of the reference temperature, i.e., the life consumption is 1 time faster); the temperature is used +273 because it needs to be converted to Kelvin (because the formula is based on the Arrhenius law, and the Arrhenius law is based on thermodynamic temperature); the Boltzmann constant is 8.617*10 -5 eV / K, which is a physical constant and has a fixed value, and is used to ensure the dimension of the formula; regarding the activation energy Ea of the insulation layer: it is a characteristic of the cable resisting thermal aging, and is the sensitivity of the aging rate of the cable material to temperature, the greater the value, the more sensitive to temperature, and for XLPE insulation, its typical range is 0.7-1.2 eV, which is a material parameter; an example is given to explain the reason for using the exponential function: if Ea is 1.0 eV, is 90°C (at this time is 1), then when is 95°C, is about 1.5, i.e., the life consumption speed of the cable is accelerated by 50%, and the exponential function exp can reflect the phenomenon that a small change in the working temperature of the cable will cause a large change in its aging rate.

[0062] S4, based on the prediction analysis result of the future period running state of each unit length section of the insulation layer of the cable in the use stage and the data of the used time length of the cable, the future period running state of the insulation layer of the cable in the use stage is predicted and analyzed;

[0063] In the embodiment, the specific steps of S4 are: obtaining the future period operation state prediction analysis result of each unit length section of the cable in use stage insulation layer, integrating the future period operation state prediction analysis result of each unit length section of the cable in use stage insulation layer on the cable used time, dividing the integral result by the cable used time, obtaining the average of the future period operation state prediction analysis result of each unit length section of the cable in use stage insulation layer, taking the average of the future period operation state prediction analysis result of each unit length section of the cable in use stage insulation layer as the future period operation state prediction analysis result of the cable in use stage insulation layer. It should be noted that integrating the prediction state of each unit length section in the future period on the used time is actually to calculate the cumulative state load of each unit length section in its entire use history, and then dividing the integral result of all unit length sections by the total time to obtain the average, and finally obtaining the result which can represent the health status of the cable insulation layer in the future period. This result integrates the cumulative effect of space and time (those sections which are in poor state or have early damage for a long time have a higher weight in the overall health analysis because their integral value (cumulative state over time) is larger and can more affect the final average result).

[0064] S5, judging whether the cable use in the future period has a problem generation risk according to the future period operation state prediction analysis result of the cable in use stage insulation layer.
