Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high voltage technology of power systems, and more specifically, relates to a method and system for simulating and testing transmission line faults. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional power system fault testing typically employs full-scale testing, which utilizes real power equipment to construct actual overhead or cable distribution networks, simulating various defects or faults to reproduce the real-world environment. Full-scale testing can quickly reproduce real operational and fault scenarios, record complete test phenomena and data, and does not affect user power supply; therefore, it is only suitable for distribution lines. However, for transmission lines, the high cost of real equipment and the large required space limit make it unsuitable.

[0003] Currently, transmission line fault testing is mainly conducted using software simulation and laboratory simulation. Based on EMTDC electromagnetic transient simulation software, a distributed parameter model of the transmission line is built, which can simulate the transient characteristics of different voltage levels and capacities. However, because the power source and load contain power electronic devices with nonlinear characteristics, while the actual model is a simple linear combination and does not consider frequency domain effects, this method has a certain degree of subjectivity and differs from the real power grid model. A high-voltage impulse current source is built in a high-voltage laboratory. High-voltage impulse tests can approximately simulate lightning strikes under ideal conditions by injecting high-voltage pulses into the test line. The test line is a very short cable or overhead conductor, and actual components such as surge arresters and insulators are not considered. The high-frequency response characteristics are not significantly different from those of the actual power system, but the test distance is short, making it unsuitable for long-distance transmission lines in the field.

[0004] With the widespread application of fault monitoring devices in power transmission lines, higher requirements are being placed on their monitoring accuracy and stable and reliable operation. Currently, there are numerous fault monitoring device manufacturers, and some domestic metrology and testing units and provincial power grid companies have carried out environmental testing for grid access, which to some extent ensures the adaptability of the equipment to the field application environment. However, there is a lack of effective testing methods and means to verify core functions such as fault current accuracy, traveling wave current accuracy, and fault location accuracy, resulting in a technical vacuum in the depth and breadth of testing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method and system for simulating and testing transmission line faults.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0007] The first aspect of this invention proposes a method for simulating and testing transmission line faults, comprising: Two towers are selected from the actual transmission line as the starting tower and the ending tower, respectively. One tower is selected from all the towers between the starting tower and the ending tower as the fault tower. A test line with the same parameters as the actual transmission line between the starting tower and the ending tower is also built. A transient simulation model of an actual transmission line is established. A predetermined lightning fault current is injected into the location of the faulty tower in the simulation model. Current sensors are installed at both the starting and ending towers in the simulation model. The wave velocity is calculated by the time difference of the wavefront time detected by the two current sensors. Simulation tests were conducted on the test line. Two fault monitoring devices were installed on the starting and ending towers of the test line. The fault source was set at the location of the faulty tower. The fault source output first output a normal power frequency current, then injected a lightning pulse at a peak of the normal power frequency current, and then output the flashover discharge current of the insulator string. The duration of the flashover discharge current of the insulator string was calculated based on the lightning fault current set during simulation. The amplitude range of the flashover discharge current of the insulator string was set to include the amplitude range corresponding to all fault types. If the test line does not trip within the set time range after the lightning pulse is injected, adjust the tripping threshold of the fault detection device on the test line according to the amplitude range of different fault types, and repeat the above steps starting from the output of the fault source; otherwise, the test is normal. Obtain the wavefront time extracted by the lightning current waveform captured by the two fault detection devices, and calculate the corresponding two positioning errors in combination with the wave velocity calculated by simulation. If there is a positioning error exceeding the set error threshold, the fault detection device is unqualified; otherwise, it is qualified, and the qualified fault detection device is used for fault testing.

[0008] Preferably, the establishment of a transient simulation model of the actual transmission line, wherein a predetermined lightning fault current is injected into the location of the faulty tower in the simulation model, specifically includes: The transient simulation model is a frequency-dependent electromagnetic transient model. The transient simulation model adopts a dual-power supply topology structure. By adjusting the power angle, the active power and load current are changed to the actual active power and load current. The conductor diameter, split bundle, conductor height, ground wire height and phase spacing adopt the corresponding parameters of the actual transmission line. After the transmission line is running stably, after a set delay, the set lightning fault current is injected.

[0009] Preferably, the lightning fault current is specifically: The set lightning fault current is obtained by weighting and summing the 8 / 20μs lightning current and the 10 / 350μs lightning current according to the set weights.

[0010] Preferably, the calculation of wave velocity using the time difference of wavefront time detected by two current sensors specifically involves: The wavefront times collected by the two current sensors are obtained, and the location of the fault tower with the midpoint of the transmission line as the reference point is obtained. The wave velocity is obtained by dividing the fault tower location of the reference point by twice the difference between the wavefront times collected by the two current sensors.

[0011] Preferably, the fault source is output, specifically as follows: The duration of the fault source's initial output of normal power frequency current ranges from one cycle duration of normal power frequency current to two cycles duration of normal power frequency current. The duration of the flashover discharge current of the insulator string is: the peak moment of the 10 / 350μs lightning current minus the peak moment of the 8 / 20μs lightning current plus the cycle duration of a normal power frequency current. The calculated result is multiplied by the difference between the weights of the 10 / 350μs lightning current and the 8 / 20μs lightning current, plus the cycle duration of a normal power frequency current.

[0012] Preferably, adjusting the threshold of the fault detection device on the test line according to the amplitude range of different fault types specifically involves: The set time range is between the cycle duration of one normal power frequency current and the cycle duration of two normal power frequency currents. Fault types include high-resistance faults, low-resistance faults, and metallic grounding faults; The amplitude range of a high-resistance fault is from the first threshold to the second threshold; the amplitude range of a low-resistance fault is from the second threshold to the third threshold. The threshold for metallic grounding faults is above the third threshold. If the circuit breaker does not trip after two cycles of normal power frequency current following the injection of the lightning pulse, the tripping threshold of the fault detection device is lowered. If the current threshold is greater than the third threshold, it is adjusted to the third threshold. If it is greater than the second threshold but less than or equal to the third threshold, it is adjusted to the second threshold. Otherwise, it is adjusted to the first threshold. If the circuit breaker trips before reaching a normal power frequency current cycle duration after the lightning pulse is injected, the tripping threshold of the fault detection device is increased. If the current threshold is less than the first threshold, it is adjusted to the first threshold. If it is greater than or equal to the first threshold but less than the second threshold, it is adjusted to the second threshold. Otherwise, it is adjusted to the third threshold.

[0013] Preferably, if the amplitude of the flashover discharge current of the current insulator string is within the amplitude range of a high-resistance fault, then a set background noise is superimposed on the flashover discharge current of the insulator string. The set background noise is a hidden current signal or a corona current signal with a set frequency and amplitude.

[0014] Preferably, the calculation of the two positioning errors corresponding to the wave velocity calculated by simulation is specifically as follows: Obtain the tower numbers of the starting tower, fault tower, and termination tower on the actual transmission line. Use the product of the starting tower number minus the span length multiplied by the tower number, minus the wavefront time extracted by the fault detection device located on the starting tower and the wave velocity calculated by simulation as the first error. The second error is calculated as the product of the fault tower number minus the terminal tower number multiplied by the tower number span minus the wavefront time extracted by the fault detection device located on the terminal tower from the lightning current waveform captured by the fault detection device and the wave velocity calculated by simulation.

[0015] The second aspect of this invention proposes a transmission line fault simulation and test system based on the method described in the first aspect of this invention, comprising a test line construction module, a simulation wave velocity calculation module, a simulation test module, and a test module, specifically: Test line construction module: used to select two towers from the actual transmission line as the starting tower and the ending tower respectively, and select one tower from all the towers between the starting tower and the ending tower as the fault tower; and to build a test line with the same parameters as the actual transmission line between the starting tower and the ending tower. Simulated wave velocity calculation module: used to establish a transient simulation model of the actual transmission line. In the simulation model, a set lightning fault current is injected into the location of the faulty tower. Current sensors are installed at both the starting and ending towers in the simulation model. The wave velocity is calculated by the time difference of the wavefront time detected by the two current sensors. Simulation test module: Used to conduct simulation tests on the test line. Two fault monitoring devices are installed on the starting and ending towers of the test line. The fault source is set at the fault tower location. The fault source outputs first a normal power frequency current, then injects a lightning pulse at a peak of the normal power frequency current, and then outputs the insulator string flashover discharge current. The duration of the insulator string flashover discharge current is calculated based on the lightning fault current set during simulation. The amplitude range of the insulator string flashover discharge current includes the amplitude range corresponding to all fault types. Test module: If the test line does not trip within the set time range after the injection of a lightning pulse, the threshold for triggering the tripping of the fault detection device on the test line is adjusted according to the amplitude range of different fault types, and the above steps are repeated starting from the output of the fault source; otherwise, the test is normal. The wavefront time of the lightning current waveform captured by the two fault detection devices is obtained, and the corresponding two positioning errors are calculated in combination with the wave velocity calculated by simulation. If there is a positioning error exceeding the set error threshold, the fault detection device is unqualified; otherwise, it is qualified, and the qualified fault detection device is used for fault testing.

[0016] A third aspect of the invention provides an apparatus including a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program, the processor executing the computer program to implement the steps of the method described in the first aspect of the invention.

[0017] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the method described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are that, compared with the prior art, by combining actual line simulation and physical simulation tests, it effectively improves the accuracy and reliability of transmission line fault detection device testing; its advantages are that it uses simulation calculation to obtain wave velocity and reproduces the full waveform fault signal including power frequency current, lightning pulse and flashover discharge on the test line. By adjusting the fault current amplitude and detection threshold, it can comprehensively cover test scenarios of various fault types such as high resistance, low resistance and metallic grounding. The timing of the flashover discharge signal is combined with the lightning current setting input during simulation, thereby realizing the verification of the fault monitoring device's positioning accuracy. At the same time, the introduction of background noise enhances the realism of the test environment, ensuring the effectiveness and adaptability of the device in practical applications.
