Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an online monitoring method, system, and equipment for remote fault indicators of power transmission and distribution lines, belonging to the field of power transmission and distribution line operation monitoring technology. Background Technology

[0002] Remote fault indicators for power transmission and distribution lines are core equipment for ensuring the stable operation of 10kV-35kV medium and low voltage power grids. Their online monitoring capabilities directly determine the fault response speed and operation and maintenance efficiency. Traditional fault monitoring methods often rely on manual inspections or fixed threshold triggering mechanisms. These methods suffer from slow response speeds, low accuracy, and susceptibility to environmental interference. Especially under complex and variable line loads and weather conditions, traditional fixed threshold methods often fail to accurately identify faults, leading to frequent false alarms or missed alarms.

[0003] Existing technologies generally use fixed voltage / current thresholds to trigger fault indications, which cannot dynamically adapt to changes in line load rate and the impact of extreme weather. For example, the online monitoring system for power line faults disclosed in patent authorization number CN207440228U uses a fixed voltage change rate threshold (e.g., 80V / ms) for the fault indicator, which does not consider the current fluctuation characteristics during peak line load, resulting in a high false trigger rate. Under extreme weather conditions such as rain and snow, the failure rate of fault detection increases. Such fixed threshold designs cannot balance the contradiction between "preventing false alarms" and "preventing failures," which seriously restricts the reliability of monitoring.

[0004] Meanwhile, the existing communication modes are limited: relying on GSM / GPRS or a single LoRa communication mode, resulting in weak signal coverage (such as in mountainous or remote areas), and failing to meet the requirements of low power consumption and high bandwidth. The system's battery life is also insufficient: lacking intelligent power management, solar power efficiency is low, battery life is short, and maintenance costs are high. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an online monitoring method, system, and device for remote transmission indicators of power transmission and distribution lines. This device can dynamically adjust the trigger threshold, collect multi-dimensional signals in real time, and upload data through a multi-mode communication module to achieve accurate fault location and type identification, thereby improving the accuracy and timeliness of fault monitoring.

[0006] The online monitoring method for remote fault indicators of power transmission and distribution lines according to the present invention includes the following steps: S1: Multi-dimensional signal acquisition triggered by dynamic threshold: Real-time acquisition of line voltage, current, main harmonic frequency and attenuation factor signals of transient signals through fault indicator; Dynamically adjust the trigger threshold based on line load rate, and drive fault indication when the voltage change rate, current pulse characteristic value or the main harmonic frequency and attenuation factor of transient signal reach the dynamic threshold. S2: Direct electrical connection signal transmission: The analog electrical signal output by the fault indicator is directly connected to the online monitoring device, and the digital signal is obtained through analog-to-digital conversion; S3: Multi-mode remote data upload: The online monitoring device uploads data through a multi-mode communication module and dynamically switches the communication mode according to the signal strength and data volume; S4: Distributed traveling wave localization and fault identification: The power transmission status perception platform uses a distributed traveling wave localization algorithm to calculate the fault location, identifies the fault type through a CNN-LSTM fusion model, and generates dynamic priority inspection tasks.

[0007] Preferably, the voltage change rate in step S1 is calculated using the following formula:

[0008] in, This is the voltage sample value at the current moment. This is the voltage value at the previous sampling time. The sampling interval is defined; a fault indication is triggered when k is greater than the set threshold. Preferably, the characteristic value of the current signal pulse is calculated using the following formula:

[0009] in, The peak value of the current pulse. The pulse duration is specified; a fault indication is triggered when S exceeds a set threshold.

[0011] in, For amplitude, As the attenuation factor, Main harmonic frequency, The phase is determined by matching the changing trends of the main harmonic frequency and attenuation factor with a preset model to achieve fault type determination.

[0012] Preferably, the adjustment formula for the dynamic threshold in step S1 is:

[0013] in, The baseline threshold is λ, where λ is the load adjustment coefficient. For the real-time load rate of the line, =0.2 is the weather adjustment factor. These are weather-related factors.

[0014] Preferably, the multi-mode communication in step S3 includes LoRa mode, NB-IoT mode and 4G / 5G mode; LoRa mode: signal strength RSSI ≥ -80dBm and data volume ≤ 100KB; NB-IoT mode: -100dBm ≤ RSSI < -80dBm and data volume ≤ 500KB; 4G / 5G mode: RSSI < -100dBm or data volume > 500KB.

[0015] Preferably, the formula for the distributed traveling wave positioning algorithm in step S4 is:

[0016] Where v is the traveling wave propagation speed. / The time it takes for the fault signal to reach the adjacent monitoring node. This represents the node spacing.

[0017] Preferably, the CNN-LSTM fusion model in step S4 includes: A CNN feature extraction module, consisting of 3 convolutional layers and 2 pooling layers, is used to extract local features of spatial dimension from the input signal; An LSTM time series processing module contains two LSTM hidden layers, used to learn the dependencies of the local features on the time series. An output module, comprising a fully connected layer and a Softmax activation function, is used to output the probability distribution of fault types, which include at least phase-to-phase short circuit, low-resistance grounding, and high-resistance grounding.

[0018] Preferably, the power management module integrates an intelligent energy management algorithm and is connected to a solar panel and a battery. The algorithm's logic is as follows: real-time monitoring of solar power supply; when the power is greater than or equal to the power consumed by the device during operation, solar power is supplied to charge the battery; when the solar power supply is insufficient, automatic switching to battery power supply is initiated. The transient signal sampling frequency of the dynamic threshold fault indicator module is 500kHz to ensure complete capture of transient signals.

[0019] The computer device of the present invention includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program that can run on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, it implements an online monitoring method for a remote transmission indicator of power transmission and distribution line faults.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the online monitoring method, system, and equipment for remote transmission indicators of power transmission and distribution lines of the present invention have the following advantages: 1. Improved dynamic adaptability By adopting a dynamic threshold adjustment mechanism that links load rate and weather, it breaks away from the limitations of traditional fixed thresholds. It can flexibly optimize triggering conditions according to the real-time operating status of the line, effectively avoiding false alarms and missed alarms under extreme loads or severe weather, and significantly enhancing the reliability and environmental adaptability of fault monitoring.

[0021] 2. Full-scenario communication coverage By integrating multi-mode communication technology, the transmission mode can be dynamically switched according to different signal strengths and data volume requirements. This not only meets the needs of low-power long-distance transmission in open areas, but also solves the problem of data backhaul in weak signal scenarios such as mountainous and remote areas, ensuring that fault information is uploaded stably without dead zones and breaking the coverage bottleneck of a single communication mode.

[0022] 3. Precise fault decision support By combining distributed traveling wave localization with a CNN-LSTM fusion model, the system can accurately locate faults and intelligently identify fault types, providing maintenance personnel with intuitive and reliable decision-making support and replacing the traditional fuzzy processing method that relies on experience-based judgment.

This provides core technical support for intelligent operation and maintenance of the power grid, and has significant practical application value and industry promotion potential.
