Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart grids, and specifically to a method and system for diagnosing and locating secondary circuit faults. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of smart grids and digital substations, the secondary circuits of substations, as key infrastructure supporting equipment monitoring, control, protection, and communication, are becoming increasingly complex. Traditional substations mainly rely on physical cable connections and paper circuit diagrams, and maintenance work heavily depends on manual inspections and experience-based fault diagnosis. Faced with increasingly complex circuit topologies and massive signal interactions, traditional methods often struggle to quickly and accurately locate fault points, leading to longer fault handling cycles and increased operational risks.
[0003] In recent years, with the widespread adoption of virtual loops and digital network communication technologies in smart substations, secondary systems have achieved a high degree of integration in data acquisition, signal transmission, and equipment interconnection, further increasing the difficulty of system operation and maintenance and fault diagnosis. Currently, some secondary loop visualization technologies have attempted to generate topology diagrams by parsing configuration files to intuitively display the overall system structure, but they still have significant shortcomings in complex fault link analysis, real-time identification of abnormal states, and root cause localization.
[0004] Against this backdrop, artificial intelligence methods have been gradually introduced into the field of power system fault diagnosis, leveraging data mining and pattern recognition technologies to improve the accuracy and efficiency of anomaly detection. However, existing technical solutions mostly focus on fault type identification and lack the ability to perform full-path reasoning and visual diagnosis of circuit links. Furthermore, in the fault location phase, traditional methods struggle to effectively correlate virtual diagnostic results with physical equipment, still requiring manual comparison of numbers or tag searches, which hinders the improvement of overall operation and maintenance efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, in the context of increasingly complex and digitalized secondary circuits, how to build an efficient operation and maintenance system with full-path analysis, real-time diagnosis and virtual-physical linkage capabilities has become a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the intelligent operation and maintenance of power systems. Summary of the Invention

S4. Highlight the fault link path on the visualization interface of the abnormal fault map and identify the specific location of the faulty device.
[0008] Furthermore, step S2 includes: S21, acquire secondary circuit operation data from any one or more of the data sources of the protection device, the measurement and control device and the sensor; S22, perform fusion processing on the operating data of the secondary circuit and extract abnormal features; S23 uses deep learning algorithms to analyze the fused data and identify characteristic signals of abnormal faults.
[0009] Furthermore, the deep learning algorithm described in step S23 is based on a graph neural network model.
[0010] Furthermore, step S3 includes: S31, the corresponding node where the abnormal fault was detected is marked as the starting point in the fault map; S32, using a graph search algorithm, traverse the fault graph along the connection relationship of the starting node to infer at least one fault link path; S33, determine the fault source node based on the fault link path, and generate the corresponding fault link path.
[0011] Furthermore, step S4 includes: S41, The secondary circuit fault map is visualized on the graphical interface; S42, the fault link path and fault point obtained by reasoning are highlighted on the interface; S43 provides interactive functionality to allow users to view detailed information about the fault point through the interface.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes: S5, use an RFID reader / writer to read and identify the RFID tag information configured on the faulty part; send a control command to the RFID tag to light up its LED indicator, thereby visually indicating the location of the faulty part at the fault site.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes: S6 matches the detected abnormal features and the inferred fault paths with the pre-established fault knowledge base; the preset expert system provides fault cause analysis and handling suggestions based on the matching results to assist in completing fault diagnosis.
