BACKGROUND

[0002] In the power system, some voltage sag or fluctuation events often occur, which are often caused by power grid short-circuit faults, heavy load switching, large capacitor bank non-zero switching, etc. For some precision running equipment and some frequency conversion equipment, the power supply quality of the power grid is more sensitive, and when a voltage sag event occurs, the voltage of the power grid fluctuates greatly, which may cause the equipment to run abnormally or even shut down. Therefore, these power users are very concerned about the location of the sag source or disturbance source that causes the voltage sag event, and quickly determining the fault point position of the voltage sag event has very important guiding significance for efficient organization of accident repair and subsequent planned maintenance.

[0074] (C-3) the transient active abrupt change ΔP(j) caused by the three-phase voltage abrupt change in the latest half-cycle sliding data window is calculated according to the following formula,

[0075] .

[0076] The step (D) comprises:

[0077] (D-1) the half-cycle sliding window effective values of the three-phase voltage abrupt changes ΔUA(j), ΔUB(j), ΔUC(j) in the latest two cycles are analyzed by using the following formula to find the maximum values ΔUAm(j-r), ΔUBm(j-s), ΔUCm(j-t) of the voltage abrupt change half-cycle sliding window effective values in each phase in the latest two cycles and the corresponding sampling time j-r, j-s, j-t:

[0078] ΔXm(j-n) = max{ΔX(j-2N+1), ΔX(j-2N+2), …, ΔX(j-1), ΔX(j)}

[0079] In the above formula, j-n is the sampling time at which the maximum value ΔXm of the abrupt change of the variable ΔX appears in the latest two cycles;

[0080] (D-2) Find the maximum value of the voltage sudden change effective value ΔUm(j-h) among the maximum values of the voltage sudden change effective values ΔUAm(j-r), ΔUBm(j-s), ΔUCm(j-t) of the three phases in step (D-1) by using the following formula, and record the phase type,

[0101] (E-2) setting a transient mark for the phase at which the maximum value of the voltage mutation half-cycle sliding window effective value ΔUm(j-h) occurs, recording the time point of the current transient event, i.e. the specific time of the time corresponding to the sampling point j-h, and recording the half-cycle sliding data window effective values UA(j-h), UB(j-h), UC(j-h) of the three-phase voltage at the time;

[0102] (E-3) returning to step (B).

[0103] The present application also provides a lightweight low-voltage fault point positioning device, as shown in Figure 2 In an embodiment, the device comprises:

[0104] a monitoring device which is installed on the power supply line between the public power grid and the internal power grid of the user in a plug-and-play manner, and is used to collect the three-phase voltage and current signals of the alternating current grid to obtain the instantaneous values of the three-phase voltage and current at the installation position;

[0105] The data processing device is connected to the monitoring device and is used to calculate the instantaneous values ​​of the sudden changes in the three-phase voltage and current, the effective values ​​of the half-cycle sliding window of the three-phase voltage and the sudden changes in the three-phase voltage, and the transient active power change using the instantaneous values ​​of the three-phase voltage and current. It is also used to find the maximum value among all the effective values ​​of the half-cycle sliding window of the sudden changes in the three-phase voltage, record the phase of the maximum value, and determine whether the maximum value meets the voltage sag conditions specified in the power quality standard. If so, it determines whether the fault point is upstream or downstream of the installation location and the corresponding data of the fault point based on the transient active power change corresponding to the maximum value.

[0106] In a preferred embodiment, the data processing device is an MCU, and the monitoring device includes a pluggable open-type current transformer and a voltage sampling terminal. The data processing device and the monitoring device are integrated into a miniaturized DIN rail structure, which can be plugged and played and installed on the power grid.

[0107] In a more preferred embodiment, the system is self-powered by the AC voltage sampling input signal obtained from the voltage sampling terminal.

[0108] In practical applications, the lightweight low-voltage fault location device of this invention is an online monitoring device for 0.4kV power systems. It adopts a miniaturized rail-mounted structure design and features a pluggable open-type current transformer and voltage sampling terminals, facilitating installation and plug-and-play functionality. Furthermore, this fault location device can be self-powered by an AC voltage analog sampling input signal. Compared to most existing machine learning-based fault location algorithms, the algorithm of this invention is designed based on the physical characteristics of power grid operation, resulting in lower computational load and higher speed.

[0109] The fault location device has certain hardware conditions, which can realize real-time sampling of AC voltage and current analog quantities, storage of historical data and events, and sufficient arithmetic operation capabilities. The device samples the instantaneous values ​​of three-phase voltage and current in real time to obtain the current instantaneous sampled values ​​of three-phase voltage and current ua(j), ub(j), uc(j) and ia(j), ib(j), ic(j).

[0110] like Figure 3 As shown, in practical applications, the lightweight low-voltage fault location method of the present invention may include the following steps:

[0111] Calculate the instantaneous values ​​of the three-phase voltage and current abrupt changes: Δua(j), Δub(j), Δuc(j), Δia(j), Δib(j), Δic(j). These instantaneous values ​​can be obtained by comparing the current instantaneous sampled value with the instantaneous sampled value one cycle before the wavefront. That is:

[0112] Δx(j) = x(j) - x(jN);

[0113] where Δx(j) is the instantaneous value of the jth sampling time of the variable x, x(j) is the instantaneous sampling value of the jth sampling time of the variable x, x(j-N) is the instantaneous sampling value of the j-Nth sampling time of the variable x, and N is the number of sampling points per cycle. Here, the variable x can be replaced by ua, ub, uc and ia, ib, ic, respectively, to solve the instantaneous value of the three-phase voltage, three-phase current and the sudden change variable.

[0114] The effective value of the latest half-cycle sliding data window of three-phase voltage, three-phase voltage sudden change variable is calculated. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0115]

[0116] where X(j) is the half-cycle sliding data window effective value of the jth sampling time of the variable x, and the variable x can be replaced by ua, ub, uc and Δua, Δub, Δuc to solve the current half-cycle sliding data window effective value UA(j), UB(j), UC(j), ΔUA(j), ΔUB(j), ΔUC(j) of three-phase voltage, three-phase voltage sudden change variable. In the formula, the capital variable represents the effective value and the lowercase variable represents the instantaneous value.

[0117] The transient active sudden change variable caused by three-phase voltage sudden change in the latest half-cycle sliding data window, i.e. the transient disturbance energy injected due to voltage disturbance, is calculated. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0118] .

[0119] The half-cycle sliding window effective value of three-phase voltage sudden change variable in the last two cycles is analyzed to find the maximum value in each phase in the last two cycles and the corresponding sampling time ΔUAm(j-r), ΔUBm(j-s), ΔUCm(j-t), where j-r, j-s, j-t are the sampling times when the maximum value of the corresponding phase appears. The calculation method is as follows:

[0120] ΔXm(j-n)=max{ΔX(j-2N+1), ΔX(j-2N+2), …, ΔX(j-1), ΔX(j)}

[0121] Here j-n is the sampling time when the maximum value ΔXm of the variable ΔX appears in the last two cycles.

[0122] The maximum value ΔUm(j-h) among the maximum values of the three voltage sudden change variable half-cycle sliding window effective values is found, and the phase is recorded. Where j-h is the sampling time when the maximum value of the phase appears, and j-h is also one of the sampling times when the maximum values of the three phases j-r, j-s, j-t appear.

[0123] ΔUm(j-h) = max{ΔUAm(j-r), ΔUBm(j-s), ΔUCm(j-t)}

[0124] If the current time voltage mutation half-cycle sliding window effective value of the phase where ΔUm(j-h) is located satisfies:

[0125] ΔUm(j) < 0.25 * ΔUm(j-h) and ΔUm(j-h) > 0.05 * Un

[0126] then go to the next step, otherwise go to the next step to determine whether the voltage sag flag has been set. In the formula, Un is the rated value of the grid phase voltage.

[0127] If Um(j-h) > 0.92 * Un, clear the voltage sag flag of the phase where ΔUm(j-h) is located, and return to real-time sampling of instantaneous values of three-phase voltage and current.

[0128] If the voltage sag flag has been set for the phase where ΔUm(j-h) is located, return to real-time sampling of instantaneous values of three-phase voltage and current. Continue to determine whether the following conditions are satisfied:

[0129] Um(j-h) < 0.99 * Um(j-h-N) and Um(j-h) ≤ 0.90 * Un

[0130] In the formula, Um(j-h-N) is the voltage sliding half-cycle effective value one cycle before the sampling time j-h where the maximum value Um(j-h) is located.

[0131] If the above formula is not satisfied, return to real-time sampling of instantaneous values of three-phase voltage and current. If it is satisfied, it indicates that the voltage amplitude of the phase has decreased due to this voltage fluctuation, and the cumulative decrease has reached the voltage sag threshold specified in the power quality standard.

[0132] Take the active transient mutation ΔP(j-h) corresponding to the sampling time j-h of the phase ΔUm(j-h). If the sampling point corresponds to ΔP(j-h) > 0, it indicates that the voltage sag source is located upstream of the monitoring device installation point, i.e. the fault that caused this voltage sag occurred on the power supply side. If ΔP(j-h) < 0, it indicates that the fault source is located downstream of the monitoring device installation point, i.e. the fault that caused this voltage sag occurred on the load side.

[0133] The device sets a flag for the voltage sag of the phase where ΔUm(j-h) is located, and records the time point of the voltage sag event, i.e. the specific time of the sampling point j-h corresponding to the time, as well as the three-phase voltage half-cycle sliding window effective values UA(j-h), UB(j-h), and UC(j-h) at that time. Then return to real-time sampling of instantaneous values of three-phase voltage and current.

[0134] The light-weight low-voltage fault point positioning method and the plug-and-play positioning device adopt the input conditioning, AD conversion and real-time collection of three-phase voltage and current AC signals, obtain the instantaneous values of three-phase voltage and current at the installation position of the device, and obtain the instantaneous values of sudden change variables of three-phase voltage and current, the half-cycle sliding window effective values of three-phase voltage and three-phase voltage sudden change variables, and the transient active sudden change variable through corresponding data storage and operation processing, so that the occurrence of voltage sag event, the time of voltage sag event and the position of the fault point causing the voltage sag event can be easily identified by analyzing and processing the calculation results, thereby providing guidance suggestions for subsequent power quality improvement and technical support for accident repair and planned maintenance.

[0135] In this specification, the application has been described with reference to its particular embodiments. It is clear, however, that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the application. Therefore, the specification and drawings should be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.
