Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power transmission line fault detection, and particularly relates to a fault location method and apparatus for power transmission lines. Background Technology

[0002] High-voltage transmission lines are the backbone of the power system, and their safe and stable operation is crucial to ensuring power supply reliability. Once a line fault occurs, quickly and accurately locating the fault point is key to shortening power outage time, reducing economic losses, and improving operation and maintenance efficiency. Among the technologies related to high-voltage line fault location, the industry mainly relies on the following two types of technical solutions:

[0003] One type uses professional hardware diagnostic equipment. Although such equipment has high positioning accuracy, it has problems such as high purchase cost, complex installation and debugging, and the need for professional personnel to operate, making it difficult to be widely used in small and medium-sized new energy power stations.

[0004] The second method relies on maintenance personnel to manually inspect and locate faults by testing each component, such as line towers, insulators, and cable joints. This method is extremely inefficient, especially in long-distance and complex terrain scenarios, where it often takes several hours or even days to locate the fault, which is far behind the need for the station to quickly restore power. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The data interface module is used to acquire fault location-related data for transmission lines, including tower sequence, numerical sequence of each adjacent tower section, and cumulative threshold on the left and right sides;

[0022] The left-side processing module is used to sequentially accumulate values ​​from the first segment towards the end in the left part of the numerical sequence. It stops when the accumulated value is not less than the left-side cumulative threshold for the first time, and determines the target tower corresponding to this time as the left-side positioning result.

[0023] The right-hand processing module is used to perform reverse accumulation from the end segment value to the beginning in the right part of the segment value sequence. When the accumulated value is not less than the right-hand cumulative threshold for the first time, it stops and determines the target tower corresponding to this time as the right-hand positioning result.
