To the extent that they do not particularize to the application, the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to be limiting of the present application, but rather a device and method in accordance with some aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0020] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

"Includes," "including," and like terms means encompassing all the elements listed and any and all equivalent thereof, as well as additional elements. "Coupled" or "connected" or like terms are not restricted to direct or physical connections or associations.

[0021] Embodiment One As shown in the figure, the embodiment provides an arc detection method for a DC busbar, comprising the following steps: Figure 1 S1: sampling the current of a DC busbar in the busbar, and obtaining a sampling current; wherein the busbar collects the currents of a plurality of photovoltaic arrays and transmits the currents through a DC busbar; In actual implementation, a Rogowski coil can be sleeved on the DC busbar to sample the current and obtain the sampling current, and the frequency response range of the Rogowski coil is wide, which is suitable for high-frequency arc detection. S2: sequentially amplifying and filtering the sampling current to obtain a target current;

[0022] In actual implementation, a band-pass filter can be used for filtering to eliminate power frequency interference and inverter switching noise, and only signals in an arc characteristic frequency band are retained, wherein the arc characteristic frequency band is between 100 kHz and 1 MHz. S3: analog-to-digital converting the target current to obtain a digital signal corresponding to the target current;

[0023] S4: respectively performing time domain analysis and frequency domain analysis on the digital signal to extract a time domain characteristic value and a frequency domain characteristic value of the digital signal; S5: judging the time domain characteristic value and the frequency domain characteristic value to detect whether an arc occurs. ​

[0024] In use, the present application obtains a target current by pre-processing the collected current signal through amplification and filtering, converts the target current into a digital signal, and obtains time domain characteristic values and frequency domain characteristic values by simultaneously performing time domain analysis and frequency domain analysis on the digital signal through a control unit, and finally performs arc detection through the time domain characteristic values and the frequency domain characteristic values. Compared with directly performing arc detection through a current threshold, the present application can further improve the accuracy and real-time performance of arc recognition.

[0025] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the time domain characteristic values include at least one of a current mean value, a current standard deviation, and a current mutation point. When an arc occurs, the arc causes the effective value of the loop current to decrease, and the average value also decreases accordingly, so the arc can be detected through the current average value. The current standard deviation reflects the fluctuation degree of the current. When an arc occurs, the current mutation intensifies, and the standard deviation usually increases, so the arc can be detected through the current standard deviation. The sharp mutation of the signal is a typical feature of an arc, so the difference between the peak-to-peak values of the current in adjacent time windows can be compared to capture the current mutation point and achieve arc detection.

[0026] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the frequency domain characteristic values include at least one of a high-frequency energy, a spectral entropy, and a wavelet coefficient variance. When an arc occurs, a large amount of noise is generated in the high frequency (such as above 10 kHz), causing the energy in this frequency band to significantly increase, which is the most core frequency domain feature, so the arc can be detected through the high-frequency energy parameter. After wavelet decomposition of the signal, high-frequency coefficients can be obtained. When an arc occurs, the high-frequency coefficients fluctuate, so the wavelet coefficient equation is greater than the normal state, and the arc can be detected through the wavelet coefficient variance. When an arc occurs, the spectrum is broadened and chaotic, and the spectral entropy value increases, so the arc can be checked through the spectral entropy.

[0027] More specifically, in the present embodiment, the calculation formula of the current average value is as follows: ; Where N is the total number of samples in a detection window, i(n) is the current size of the nth sample point, and n is the sequence index of the sample point. The calculation formula of the current standard deviation is as follows: ; In actual implementation, the larger the value of the standard deviation, the more intense the surface current fluctuation. The calculation formula of the current mutation point is as follows: ; where i(n-1) is the current value of the previous sample point of the nth sample point, and the size of the current sudden change point d(n) reflects the instantaneous change amount and direction of the current from n 1 to n moment; The calculation formula of high-frequency energy is as follows: ; ; where I(fk) is the complex spectrum after transformation, including the amplitude and phase information of frequency fk, i(n) is the nth sample point of the time-domain current signal, fk is the kth frequency point, fk=k*Fs / N, Fs is the sampling frequency, N is the total number of sample points for FFT calculation, which is usually an integer power of 2, such as 512 or 1024, n is the index of the time-domain sample point, n is greater than or equal to 0 and less than N, k is the index of the time-domain frequency point, k is greater than or equal to 0 and less than N; The calculation formula of wavelet coefficient variance is as follows: ; ; where is the calculation result, representing the variance of the jth layer of detail coefficients d j , measuring the degree of dispersion of the wavelet coefficients in the jth layer around their mean value. The greater the variance, the more intense the fluctuations of the signal in the frequency band; is the arithmetic mean of all detail coefficients d j (m) of the jth layer, d j (m) is the mth detail coefficient of the jth layer of wavelet decomposition, corresponding to the time point of the original signal, reflecting the signal component intensity at j frequency band and m moment, j represents the number of layers of wavelet decomposition, the smaller the value of j, the higher the center frequency of the corresponding frequency band, m is the time index of the detail coefficient, and M is the total number of detail coefficients dj of the jth layer; The calculation formula of spectral entropy is as follows: ; ; where pk is the proportion or probability of the energy of the kth frequency point in the total energy I(f k ) is the complex spectrum value obtained at frequency f k by performing fast Fourier transform on the original time-domain current signal; is the total energy of the signal in the entire analysis frequency band.

[0028] Specifically, in step S5, the process of judging the time-domain feature value and the frequency-domain feature value is as follows: Determine whether the corresponding time-domain feature value and frequency-domain feature value are both greater than the corresponding set threshold. If both the time-domain feature value and frequency-domain feature value are greater than the corresponding set threshold, then an electric arc is considered to have occurred.
