[0025] See Figure 1To address the technical problem that existing technologies typically rely on fixed thresholds, are easily affected by noise and interference, leading to low accuracy in fault detection, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fault detection method for low-voltage distribution networks, comprising: S1. Collect the operating parameters of key nodes in the target distribution network, and determine anomalies based on the operating parameters, using the abnormal operating parameters as observation data; In this embodiment of the invention, the operating parameters include voltage parameters, current parameters, power parameters, power quality parameters, and harmonic parameters.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, a key node refers to a node that has an important function or location in the power distribution network, such as a power supply node, a branch node, and a load node.

[0027] Voltage and current sensors can be installed at key points. The collected signals are converted and conditioned before being input into the acquisition circuit. They are then converted into digital quantities by an analog-to-digital converter to obtain quantitative data such as voltage amplitude, current amplitude, power value, frequency, and harmonic content, forming the basic operating data of the system.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, the anomaly determination can be that when the operating parameters exceed a preset threshold range, they are determined to be abnormal operating parameters.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, observation data can be shared with adjacent nodes in the distribution network topology, enabling adjacent nodes to obtain each other's observation results, realizing distributed data processing and collaborative decision-making based on local data. By sharing data layer by layer with neighboring nodes, rather than directly aggregating all node data, communication and storage overhead is reduced, while providing continuous observation data support for state chain generation.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the operating parameters determined to be abnormal are used as observation data. Based on the observation data, fault detection is performed on the distribution network. Only the refined observation results need to be uploaded. There is no need to upload continuous sampling waveforms and original spectrum data such as voltage, current, power, power quality and harmonics. This can effectively reduce the need for large-scale uploading of original data and help speed up the response speed of fault detection.

[0031] S2. Construct a structured topology based on the node and branch connection relationships of the target distribution network; S3. Generate a state chain based on the node connection relationship in the structured topology and the observation data, and take the state chain that fails the consistency check as a candidate event; S4. Based on candidate events, perform fault detection to obtain the fault type and fault location of the target distribution network.

[0032] This invention generates observation data by collecting operating parameters of key nodes and determining anomalies. It then generates state chains based on node connections in a structured topology and the observation data. State chains that fail consistency checks are used as candidate events for distribution network fault detection. This method does not rely on fixed thresholds or the operating parameters of individual nodes. Instead, it detects faults by combining the topology and node connections of the entire distribution network after filtering out abnormal operating parameters. This effectively reduces the impact of noise and interference, thereby improving the accuracy of distribution network fault detection.

[0033] In one embodiment, step S1, determining anomalies based on operating parameters and using abnormal operating parameters as observation data, includes: S11. Filter, suppress noise and extract features from the operating parameters to obtain preprocessed data; S12. Based on each operating parameter and its corresponding preset threshold range, anomaly determination is made, and the abnormal operating parameters are used as observation data.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, a preset threshold range is set for each operating parameter. When the operating parameter exceeds the preset range, it is determined to be abnormal and an observation result is generated.

[0035] For example, when the voltage amplitude is lower than a certain percentage of the rated value, a voltage drop is detected and a flag is output.

[0036] This invention determines anomalies based on each operating parameter and its corresponding preset threshold range, using abnormal operating parameters as observation data. This effectively reduces the amount of data processing required for fault detection, improving both the response time and accuracy of fault detection.

[0037] In one embodiment, before step S2, generating the state chain based on the node connection relationships in the structured topology and the observation data, the following steps are included: Establish communication links between multiple key nodes, and synchronize and interact observation data among the key nodes based on the communication links.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, multiple observation data and corresponding timestamp information can be received, and the observation information and timestamp information can be centrally stored and organized. On this basis, a communication link between multiple key nodes can be established, and observation data can be synchronized and interacted between multiple key nodes according to the communication link, so as to realize collaborative communication between multiple nodes.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, a receiving port can be opened at the communication node and a queue or cache can be set up to write data from different sources into a unified database or buffer. The data can be merged and organized according to the measurement point identifier and time index, while the field normalization and format standardization are completed to form an observation data set with consistent structure that can be quickly retrieved by time window. This provides directly callable input for subsequent topology queries and state chain generation, reduces repeated cleaning and alignment work, and improves analysis efficiency.

[0040] In one embodiment, step S3, generating a state chain based on the node connection relationships in the structured topology and the observation data, includes: S31. Within a preset time window, perform timestamp comparison and synchronization processing on multiple observation data to obtain synchronized observation data. In this embodiment of the invention, multiple observation data are compared and synchronized within a preset time window. That is, different observation results are arranged in the order of timestamps, and data with deviations are corrected by interpolation or discarding. This ensures that the data of each node are aligned under a unified time reference, avoiding analysis errors caused by asynchronous sampling.

[0041] S33. Based on the node connection relationship in the structured topology, the synchronized observation data are associated according to the propagation path to generate a state chain.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the node connection relationships in the structured topology and the synchronized observation data, the synchronized observation data can be associated in the upstream and downstream order of the power grid propagation path to generate a state chain representing the state transmission path. In this process, the connection information of nodes and branches can be obtained from the knowledge graph, and the observation results that conform to the topological order can be combined in sequence to form a chain-like data sequence, thereby realizing the unified integration of scattered observations, reproducing the propagation process of electrical quantities in the topology, and thus providing a clear description of the abnormal propagation path.

[0043] For example, within a preset time window at a certain moment, nodes A, B, C, and D report their respective observation results. Node A is located at the outlet of the distribution transformer, nodes B and C are located on the downstream branches of A, and node D is located downstream of C. After timestamp alignment, it is found that node A first experiences a current surge, followed by nodes B, C, and D successively detecting voltage drops. Based on the upstream and downstream connections in the topology knowledge graph, these observation results are sequentially associated to form a state chain from node A to node D. At the same time, within the same time window, nodes E and F also detect voltage fluctuations, but they are not on the same path as nodes A and D. The system will generate another EF state chain separately based on the topology relationship. Thus, multiple observation data sets can generate multiple state chains, each chain corresponding to a possible anomaly propagation path.

[0044] In one embodiment, a consistency analysis can also be performed on the generated state chain to verify the degree of matching between the observed data of each node in the state chain in terms of amplitude changes and temporal propagation. The consistency scoring formula can be set as follows: ; in, For consistency scoring, The number of nodes in the state chain. For the first Node voltage change. For the first Node timestamp, The theoretical propagation time interval between adjacent nodes is calculated. The value is compared with a threshold. When the consistency check of the chain fails (e.g., the C value is greater than the threshold), the state chain is marked as abnormal and identified as a candidate event. This quantitative indicator is used to screen state chains that conform to the propagation law, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of candidate events and the accuracy of distribution network fault detection.

[0045] In one embodiment, after step S3, which involves constructing a structured topology based on the node and branch connection relationships of the target distribution network, the method further includes: When the operating status or network structure of the distribution network changes, the node and branch information in the structured topology is updated.

[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, the nodes, branches and their connections in the distribution network are recorded and stored in a structured form as a knowledge graph. When the operating status or network structure of the distribution network changes, the node and branch information in the knowledge graph is updated.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, nodes and branches can be abstracted as points and edges in a graph model. During storage, each node is configured with a unique identifier, device attributes, and information about the branches connected to it. This allows complex power grid topology relationships to be stored in a unified form in the database, intuitively representing the network structure of the power grid and establishing a reliable data foundation for subsequent topology queries and invocations.

[0048] When the operating status or network structure of the distribution network changes, the node and branch information in the knowledge graph is updated. For example, when a new user is connected, a line is upgraded, or a switch operation occurs, the new node is inserted into the knowledge graph, or the existing node and branch relationships are modified to ensure that the knowledge graph always remains consistent with the actual power grid structure and to avoid analysis deviations caused by the lag in topology data.

[0049] In one embodiment, step S4, fault detection based on candidate events to obtain the fault type and fault location of the target distribution network, includes: S41. Use a pre-built machine learning model to perform feature analysis and fault detection on candidate events to determine the fault type of the distribution network; In this embodiment of the invention, before step S41, anomaly detection can be performed on candidate events based on preset electronic parameter thresholds and topology rules. For example, features such as voltage, current, power, frequency, and harmonic content from the state chain can be compared with thresholds. For example, when the voltage amplitude is lower than 80% of the rated value or the current amplitude exceeds 150% of the rated value, it is determined to be abnormal. At the same time, the topology relationship is combined to determine whether there are corresponding related changes in upstream and downstream nodes, quickly eliminating normal fluctuation data and performing initial screening of anomalies. The effect is to improve the accuracy of subsequent identification.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, a machine learning model can be trained using historical candidate events obtained from historical data and their corresponding labels as training data.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, the multidimensional feature vectors of candidate events can be input into a trained classification model, such as an artificial intelligence model, to identify and determine the type of the event candidates. The artificial intelligence model includes machine learning models such as support vector machines and neural networks, used to automatically classify and determine abnormal patterns based on features such as voltage, current, power, and harmonics. Then, the event type is determined based on the probability results output by the model, as expressed below: ; in, It is an eigenvector composed of voltage change, current change, power deviation, frequency offset, and harmonic distortion rate. Label the event category (e.g., short circuit, overload, harmonic pollution). The trained model parameters are used to identify specific anomaly patterns from complex observation features, thereby completing anomaly type identification and improving classification accuracy and generalization ability.

[0052] S42. Determine the fault node based on the structured topology relationship to obtain the fault location corresponding to the current fault type.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the current fault type can be combined with the node and branch relationships in the structured topology to find the node that first shows an anomaly in the anomaly propagation path as the fault location. For example, when multiple downstream nodes experience voltage drops while upstream nodes simultaneously experience current surges, the location result will point to that branch or node, achieving precise spatial positioning and narrowing the fault range to a specific node or branch, thereby providing a basis for rapid isolation and repair.

[0054] In one embodiment, after step S4, which involves fault detection based on candidate events to obtain the fault type and location of the target distribution network, the method further includes: S5. Generate visual information on operating status and fault distribution based on fault type and fault location.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, the graphical interface uses the power grid topology diagram as the background and dynamically marks the operating parameters, state chains, and fault locations to intuitively display the operating status.

[0056] This invention can also invoke a digital twin model to verify the fault location results. When the verification meets the conditions, a control command is issued to the field switching equipment for fault isolation and recovery. The digital twin model can establish a virtual topology and operating parameter model corresponding to the distribution network, receive observation data and location results, perform power flow calculations or fault calculations in a simulation environment, verify the consistency of the fault location results, and trigger a control command when the verification results meet preset conditions.

[0057] In one embodiment, the received observation data, state chain information, and fault location results can also be stored and classified for management. For example, an index can be created based on timestamps, node identifiers, and event types to divide the data into real-time data and historical data, and then archived according to the station area or equipment number.

[0058] Implementing the embodiments of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention generates observation data by collecting operating parameters of key nodes and determining anomalies. It then generates state chains based on the node connection relationships in the structured topology and the observation data. State chains that fail consistency checks are used as candidate events for distribution network fault detection. This method does not rely on fixed thresholds or the operating parameters of individual nodes. Instead, it detects faults by combining the topology and node connection relationships of the entire distribution network after screening out abnormal operating parameters. This effectively reduces the impact of noise and interference, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of distribution network fault detection.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, when the operating status or network structure of the distribution network changes, the node and branch information in the knowledge graph is updated to ensure that the knowledge graph always remains consistent with the actual power grid structure and to avoid analysis deviations caused by the lag in topology data.
