Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fault monitoring and maintenance technology for submarine observation networks, and specifically relates to a fault location system for submarine observation network optical-electric composite cables that integrates noise suppression. Background Technology

[0002] Submarine observation networks, powered by fiber optic cables laid on the seabed, provide power and transmit data to various underwater scientific instruments, serving as crucial infrastructure for long-term, in-situ, and real-time ocean observation. However, the marine environment in which these networks operate is extremely harsh. The fiber optic cables are subjected to high pressure, corrosion, ocean currents, and the effects of fishing activities, making them highly susceptible to electrical leakage due to insulation damage, leading to electrical faults. Such faults can paralyze the entire observation network, and the repair costs of submarine cables are extremely high. Therefore, the technology for rapid and accurate fault location is of paramount importance. Currently, several technical solutions have been proposed for fault location in submarine fiber optic cables, but they all have significant limitations in the complex and noisy marine environment. (1) Fault location method based on state estimation and parameter identification Existing technology 1 proposes a two-stage state estimation method based on power system topology and Kirchhoff's laws. While this method can locate fault points to some extent, its core flaw lies in its failure to fully consider the interference of complex marine electromagnetic noise on the measurement signal. Its positioning accuracy is highly dependent on the accuracy of the data collected by voltage and current sensors at the coastal base station and the seabed main base station. In actual marine environments, broadband fault signals, during long-distance transmission to the shore base station, are severely superimposed with marine environmental electromagnetic noise, equipment noise, and cross-interference, leading to a significant reduction in the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement data. Under these low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, state estimation will amplify the measurement error, ultimately resulting in decreased fault location accuracy or even failure. In particular, when the fault point has high transition resistance, the fault characteristic signal is weak and more easily submerged by noise, making parameter identification methods difficult to respond accurately.

[0003] (2) Fault point localization method based on the combination of fault signal time domain features and machine learning Existing technology two discloses a method for fault point localization using the kurtosis coefficient, TK energy, and current polarity of the fault current as features, employing a Support Vector Machine (SVR) regression algorithm. The drawback of this method is that the stability of the time-domain features it relies on decreases sharply under extremely low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. While features such as kurtosis and TK energy possess some inherent noise resistance, their computation is significantly affected by background noise. When broadband fault signals are submerged by strong ocean background noise, the extracted features become severely distorted or lose their discriminative power, preventing the trained SVR model from establishing an accurate mapping between features and location, thus degrading localization performance. Furthermore, this method relies on a very short time window (e.g., 1 ms) after the fault. Ensuring that the signal captured within this brief time window contains sufficient usable fault features rather than being dominated by noise in a low SNR environment presents a significant challenge.

[0004] (3) Fault location method based on traveling wave principle The traveling wave method is a commonly used technique for locating faults in terrestrial cables. It calculates the time difference between the arrival time of the traveling wave front generated by the fault at the measurement point. However, when applied to seabed observation networks, accurate detection of the traveling wave front becomes extremely difficult. Traveling waves propagating in long-distance fiber optic composite cables are distorted due to dispersion effects, resulting in a flattened wavefront. Furthermore, interference from complex electromagnetic noise in the ocean further obscures the sharp edges of the wavefront changes, making wavefront detection algorithms based on thresholding or traditional signal processing techniques prone to failure, introducing additional fault location errors.

[0005] (4) Limitations of signal processing techniques for noise suppression Traditional signal denoising techniques such as wavelet transform and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) have inherent limitations when facing the challenge of overlapping frequency bands between noise and fault features. The effectiveness of wavelet transform is highly dependent on the pre-selection of wavelet basis functions and threshold functions. For non-stationary, broadband fault signals and complex ocean noise, fixed basis functions and thresholds are insufficient to achieve optimal denoising, easily leading to signal distortion (over-smoothing of fault features) or noise residue. While EMD methods are adaptive, they suffer from mode aliasing and lack a solid mathematical foundation, resulting in poor stability when processing such signals and potentially inconsistent decomposition results, affecting the reliability of subsequent feature extraction. Some studies have attempted to use deep learning models such as the Swin-Transformer to mine deep features from fault signals. While these methods have shown potential, their model training heavily relies on a large amount of high-quality, labeled fault data samples. However, obtaining sufficient real-world data covering various fault types and noise scenarios in practical seabed observation network applications is extremely difficult and costly. Furthermore, existing algorithms are often not specifically optimized for noise suppression in fault location tasks, making it difficult to strike a balance between effectively removing noise and preserving the subtle fault features that are crucial for location with high fidelity.

[0006] In summary, existing technologies struggle to effectively suppress noise overlapping with fault characteristic frequency bands while faithfully preserving crucial, subtle fault feature information for accurate location in high-noise, complex marine environments. Developing a fault location system capable of actively combating noise and robustly extracting subtle fault features from strong interference is a critical technical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed to improve the reliability of seabed observation networks and reduce maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose a fault location system that integrates a noise suppression mechanism.

[0008] In view of this, the present invention proposes a fault location system for a submarine observation network's optical-electric composite cable integrating noise suppression, characterized by comprising: a broadband fault signal sensing module, an optical-electric composite cable line noise suppression module, a broadband fault signal feature detection module, and a fault location output module; wherein, The broadband fault signal sensing module is deployed at two connection points between the high-voltage source of the base station and the optical fiber composite cable of the submarine observation network: the M end and the N end, respectively, to capture the broadband fault signal generated by the fault point to be located in real time. The optoelectronic composite cable line noise suppression module is used to specifically suppress the characteristics of Gaussian white noise and narrowband interference through a two-stage series noise suppression strategy, so as to obtain a clean broadband fault signal after noise reduction. The broadband fault signal feature detection module is used to perform continuous wavelet transform using the Morse wavelet with excellent time-frequency aggregation, and to extract features from the clean broadband fault signal by combining it with the TT transform, so as to obtain the time when the broadband fault signal arrives at the M end and the N end respectively. The fault location output module is used to calculate the fault distance based on the arrival times at the M and N ends, combined with the total length and propagation speed of the submarine observation network's optical-electric composite cable, thereby achieving fault location.

[0009] As an improvement to the above system, the wideband fault signal sensing module has a flat amplitude-frequency characteristic with fluctuations not exceeding 3dB within the 10kHz~15MHz frequency band and a short-state convergence time of less than 0.1ms, enabling real-time capture of the wideband fault signal generated by the fault point to be located. .

The time it takes for the reflected signal of the initial broadband fault signal to reach terminal M at the fault point.

[0016] As an improvement to the above system, the fault distance Calculate according to the following formula:

[0017] in, v This represents the propagation speed of broadband fault signals in the cable.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: 1. More targeted and thorough noise suppression: By combining improved empirical wavelet transform (adaptive spectrum segmentation and kurtosis criterion reconstruction) with parameterized notch filter, specific suppression is performed on the characteristics of Gaussian white noise and narrowband interference respectively. Compared with single denoising methods, useful signals can be extracted more thoroughly from mixed noise, significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0019] 2. High accuracy in fault feature extraction and more precise fault location: Continuous wavelet transform is performed using the Morse wavelet, which exhibits excellent time-frequency aggregation, and combined with the TT transform to accurately calibrate the arrival time of the wavefront. This method is extremely sensitive to abrupt changes in broadband fault signals, effectively reducing the impact of noise on abrupt change identification, thereby reducing timing errors and ultimately improving the accuracy of fault location.

[0020] 3. Enhanced system adaptability and reliability: The improved EWT has the ability to adaptively segment the spectrum, reducing the dependence of traditional methods on manually selecting wavelet basis functions and thresholds. This enables the system to better adapt to different line characteristics and changing environmental noise, improving the robustness of the method and its reliability in real complex marine environments.

[0022] This invention utilizes innovative signal processing technology to effectively extract weak fault characteristic signals in complex marine environmental noise backgrounds, thereby achieving precise location of fault points in optical-electric composite cables. It is applicable to seabed observation facilities that use optical-electric composite cables as the backbone of the power and information network.

[0023] Addressing the issues of insufficient noise suppression, easy loss of fault features, and low positioning accuracy in fault location of fiber optic composite cables in submarine observation networks, as pointed out in the background section, the core technical problem this invention aims to solve is: how to effectively suppress mixed noise (including Gaussian white noise and narrowband interference) in fiber optic composite cable lines under marine noise interference, while simultaneously preserving fault feature information with high fidelity, thereby achieving accurate fault location. First, fault features are easily lost. Complex marine noise (especially narrowband interference overlapping with fault feature frequency bands) can obscure weak fault features, and traditional denoising methods (such as standard wavelet transform or empirical mode decomposition) are prone to distortion or loss of fault feature information while filtering out noise. Second, noise suppression is incomplete. For broadband fault signals mixed with Gaussian white noise and narrowband interference at specific frequencies, a single denoising method is difficult to effectively address simultaneously, resulting in incomplete noise suppression and affecting the accuracy of subsequent fault feature extraction. Finally, it relies on manual experience and parameter adjustments. Existing methods (such as wavelet basis function selection and threshold setting for empirical mode decomposition) heavily rely on prior knowledge and human intervention, exhibiting poor adaptability and insufficient stability under different fault scenarios and noise backgrounds. This invention provides a fault location system for submarine observation network optical-electric composite cables that integrates noise suppression. This system achieves precise fault location through the collaborative work of multiple modules. The core innovation of the system lies in deeply embedding noise suppression into the fault location process, specifically achieved through the following technical means.
