AI Technical Summary
Existing single-phase grounding fault location technology in power distribution networks suffers from low calculation accuracy, high misjudgment rate, poor node coordination, and difficulty in quickly locating the fault range. In particular, the location accuracy is insufficient at the junction of branch lines and user side, which requires maintenance personnel to check section by section, thus prolonging the fault handling time.
Based on the three-level node collaboration and multi-method fusion calculation of smart meters, the zero-sequence current and voltage are collected in real time by dividing the smart meters into Type-A, Type-B and Type-C. The theoretical zero-sequence current is calculated by combining the impedance characteristic method and the attenuation coefficient method. The fault location is located by combining the attenuation coefficient change rate and physical distance.
It improves fault location accuracy, reduces misjudgments, shortens fault handling cycles, adapts to power grid scenarios after the widespread adoption of smart meters, and reduces operation and maintenance difficulty.
