Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart grid line fault monitoring and location technology, and in particular to a power grid line monitoring device and monitoring method based on a sensing, computing, communication, and positioning intelligent SOC chip. Background Technology

[0002] Smart grid distribution network line faults exhibit characteristics of "multiple causes and complex scenarios." High-altitude areas experience frequent lightning strikes due to decreased air insulation strength, humid environments easily trigger intermittent grounding, and aging cables with hidden faults require early warning. Existing technologies primarily rely on an MCU combined with a discrete sensor architecture, which has the following limitations: First, using an MCU + discrete sensors, with the MCU performing threshold discrimination and external ADCs and temperature / humidity sensors connected via SPI or I / O... 2 The C-interface communication suffers from several drawbacks: high data latency, poor synchronization of multiple parameters, limited MCU computing power (resulting in an inability to run deep learning models), high false positive rate, and lack of predictive capabilities. Secondly, a patent application (CN119414292A) discloses a method and system for identifying faults in power distribution lines, which relies on a single-parameter MCU for fault identification and uses a zero-sequence current threshold. This method fails to distinguish between low-current grounding and lightning strike faults, resulting in a high false positive rate. It also lacks an NPU and multi-parameter processing capabilities, predictive functionality, and adaptability. Thirdly, while data is collected at the terminal side and uploaded to the cloud for analysis, it cannot function when communication is interrupted, and the terminal side lacks NPU preprocessing capabilities, leading to insufficient real-time performance. All of these solutions, due to their discrete hardware, asynchronous data, and computing power bottlenecks, cannot meet the demands of smart grids for multi-parameter fusion, real-time simulation, and scenario generalization. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a power grid line monitoring device and method based on a sensing-computing-connection-position-intelligent SOC chip to address the technical problems of asynchronous multi-parameter data, low fault identification accuracy, and lack of intelligent predictive capabilities caused by the limited computing power of MCUs and the discrete module architecture of existing power grid line monitoring devices.

The two windings are isolated by multiple layers of insulation material to prevent leakage or electromagnetic coupling interference between the windings. The current transformer has a spring-loaded fastening device, allowing it to be securely fastened to the cable under test. The power output from the power-taking winding passes through a transient suppressor, rectifier bridge, overcurrent protection, and DC-DC converter before supplying power to each circuit unit. The transient suppressor is an SMBJ22CA with a clamping voltage of approximately 26V and bidirectional protection.

The antenna is connected to both the second frequency selective filtering circuit and the power amplifier circuit, which are both connected to the transmit / receive switching circuit, which is connected to the SOC chip. The radio frequency front-end is responsible for signal conversion and conditioning. During reception, it performs frequency selective filtering on the weak radio frequency signal captured by the antenna to remove interference noise, and then amplifies it through a low-noise amplifier. The signal is down-converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) or baseband signal. During transmission, the baseband signal from the baseband front-end is up-converted to the radio frequency (RF) band, and the power is boosted by a power amplifier circuit to meet the requirements of long-distance transmission. Finally, it is radiated out through the antenna. The baseband front-end focuses on signal processing and protocol parsing. During reception, it demodulates, decodes, and filters the signal output from the RF front-end to recover the original data. During transmission, the data to be transmitted is encoded and modulated to be converted into a baseband signal suitable for RF front-end processing. The transmit / receive switching circuit accurately switches the transmit and receive states under the coordinated control of the baseband and RF front-ends to avoid transmit and receive signal conflicts and ensure smooth communication.

The sensing unit includes a compensation circuit and an amplification circuit. The sampling signal compensation circuit consists of picofarad-level capacitors and megaohm-level resistors to compensate for signal attenuation caused by environmental changes and leakage current. The amplification circuit converts the weak induced current into a measurable voltage signal, which is then connected to the ADC input interface of the SOC chip. The SOC chip obtains the current cable voltage value based on the voltage value sampled by the ADC according to a preset algorithm.

[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, the temperature and humidity sensor converts ambient temperature and humidity into voltage signals that the SOC chip can recognize. The sensor uses the CHT8336 chip from Shanghai Shensiling Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. as its core. Temperature and humidity are output via two independent analog voltage outputs, requiring no digital communication protocol and directly connecting to the SOC chip's ADC input interface. It can measure a temperature range of -40℃ to 125℃ with an accuracy of ±0.5℃, and a humidity range of 0% RH to 100% with an accuracy of ±2% RH.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first frequency-selective filtering circuit is connected to the antenna, which is responsible for receiving signals transmitted by BeiDou satellites. The RF filter suppresses out-of-band interference (such as spurious signals and noise) and improves receiving sensitivity. The filtered signal is input to the RF front-end of the BeiDou positioning unit of the SOC. The first frequency-selective filtering circuit includes an RF front-end circuit, a bandpass filter, and a matching network circuit. The RF front-end uses a MAX2769 multi-band GNSS RF front-end, integrating an LNA, mixer, and IF amplifier. The bandpass filter uses a ceramic filter with a center frequency of 1575.42MHz, a bandwidth of 20MHz, and an insertion loss of <2dB. The matching network circuit uses a π-type network, composed of inductors, capacitors, and resistors.

[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, the Bluetooth communication unit is used to communicate with external devices equipped with Bluetooth interfaces. The Bluetooth communication unit includes a Bluetooth chip and an antenna. The Bluetooth chip is an nRF52832 model, which supports Bluetooth 5.0 and Bluetooth Low Energy protocols, has excellent power consumption advantages, and a UART interface. The antenna structure is formed on the PCB by etching metal layers, which has high integration, low cost, and is compatible with Bluetooth frequency bands. Signal transmission and reception are achieved by optimizing the shape (such as inverted F type or monopole type). Bluetooth supports near-field configuration and debugging via a mobile APP, which is convenient for on-site operation and maintenance. It also supports communication with nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the SOC chip and the device's hardware circuitry are combined to provide the hardware foundation for the functional implementation of the power grid line monitoring device. Taking a medium-voltage overhead line monitoring scenario as an example, a group of power grid line monitoring devices is deployed approximately every 1 kilometer, with each group containing 3 devices, one per phase. The device is clamped onto the cable under test via a clamp-on current transformer and an electric field sensing probe. The HRF and BeiDou antenna are installed on the top of the device, and the temperature and humidity sensors are arranged on the outside of the device casing. The device draws power from the cable under test via the clamp-on current transformer and obtains latitude, longitude, altitude, and clock information accurate to nanoseconds in real time through the BeiDou circuit unit. The current sampling circuit plus the SOC's built-in ADC is used to obtain... The current value of the cable under test is obtained through an electric field sampling circuit and the voltage value of the cable under test is obtained through the SOC's built-in ADC. The ambient temperature and humidity values ​​are obtained through a temperature and humidity sensor and the SOC's built-in ADC. The current and voltage values ​​of two adjacent monitoring devices are obtained through a Bluetooth unit circuit. Each device calls its built-in NPU to use the five-dimensional data of current, voltage, temperature, humidity, and altitude of the cable under test to complete the identification of four types of faults: short circuit, overload, lightning strike, and aging. Using the three-phase current and voltage data of the cable under test plus those of the two adjacent devices, ground fault identification and line fault prediction are completed. The memory can store application programs, fault identification and prediction results, current and voltage waveforms, and event logs. The device communicates with the upper-level equipment through the HRF channel. The upper-level equipment can send commands and push models to the device, and the device can report events, upload fault data, and current and voltage waveforms to the upper-level equipment.

[0095] Specifically, in this embodiment, by employing a highly integrated SOC chip, the power grid line monitoring device of the present invention can replace the original circuit system composed of multiple discrete chips, significantly reducing the peripheral circuits, while greatly improving the accuracy of line fault identification and prediction.

[0096] Specifically, in this embodiment, the present invention uses a highly integrated SOC chip with integrated multi-functional modules to replace the multiple discrete chips used in traditional power grid line monitoring devices for current sampling, voltage sampling, BeiDou timing and positioning, HRF communication, management, and other functions. Data between modules is exchanged through an on-chip high-speed bus. This integrated design fundamentally solves the technical problems of poor synchronization of multiple parameters and high inference delay caused by discrete modules and low speed of external interfaces. At the same time, it simplifies the circuit structure and solves the problems of poor signal integrity, slow communication speed between chips, high power consumption, space congestion, poor heat dissipation, and insufficient electrical isolation that exist in discrete device solutions.

[0097] Specifically, in this embodiment, the SOC chip integrates an NPU, which can perform multi-parameter intelligent inference. It receives current, voltage, temperature, humidity, and altitude data through the chip's internal high-speed bus, runs a CNN-RNN model, and has a low fault identification misjudgment rate. It can predict faults a certain time in advance, and its accuracy is significantly improved compared to the MCU solution. The NPU represents a leap from "threshold triggering" to "intelligent inference" compared to the MCU, and has the ability to generalize scenarios and predict faults, meeting the needs of complex power distribution networks.

[0098] Specifically, in this embodiment, the device's uplink communication uses an HRF radio frequency front-end peripheral circuit, communicating with the processing core within the SOC via an on-chip bus. Compared to the low-speed inter-chip interface communication of discrete chip solutions, this reduces latency by two orders of magnitude. Simultaneously, positioning and timing functions are introduced to facilitate daily inspections, maintenance, management, and fault location. Determining the accurate location of the power grid line monitoring device optimizes operation and maintenance plans and resource allocation, improving operational efficiency. The introduction of BeiDou precise time synchronization ensures accurate synchronization of all parameters of this device and the time of each device, enhancing fault location and isolation efficiency. Furthermore, it provides a unified time reference for power grid operation status analysis, ensuring power supply reliability.

[0099] Specifically, in this embodiment, a Bluetooth communication unit is introduced. For overhead line monitoring scenarios, three independent single-phase monitoring devices share current and voltage data with nanosecond-level time scales, enabling accurate identification of end-side grounding faults.

[0100] Specifically, in this embodiment, the SOC chip integrates SDRAM and Flash storage and has scalable storage capabilities. By reserving expansion interfaces or employing specific storage expansion technologies, users can expand the data storage capacity of the power grid line monitoring device according to actual needs, thereby meeting the demand for large-scale power data storage in different application scenarios. This scalable storage design improves the adaptability and flexibility of the power grid line monitoring device.
