Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of distribution network protection technology, and specifically to a distribution network adaptive protection method and system based on edge computing. Background Technology
[0002] The field of distribution network protection technology involves methods related to power supply safety and operation control in the context of distributed energy access. With the continuous development of smart grids, the high proportion of distributed power sources, new energy grid integration, and diversified load access have transformed distribution networks into complex nonlinear systems. Traditional centralized protection schemes focus on the unified scheduling and calculation of the master station system. However, when faced with frequent changes in topology and the access of numerous nonlinear power electronic devices, they often suffer from increased response delays, weak environmental adaptability, and high dependence on communication bandwidth. Therefore, optimizing the real-time performance and accuracy of protection using a distributed architecture has become an important research direction in the current field of power system protection.
[0003] Chinese patent CN113437730B discloses an adaptive topology change distribution network protection method based on an edge gateway system. This scheme deploys an edge gateway system at each node of the distribution network, utilizes sensing changes in switch values to trigger current request signals between nodes, and determines new topology relationships and fault sections through correlation analysis. However, this scheme relies heavily on frequent data interactions between nodes to reconstruct the topology, and its real-time response within a very short time is limited by the stability of the communication link. Furthermore, its protection criteria primarily focus on the correlation of current data, and it remains insufficient in comprehensively identifying and deeply fusing multi-source information under various complex abnormal conditions such as islanded operation and overload.
[0004] Chinese patent CN113325264B discloses a distribution network fault protection method based on an adaptive differential grounding algorithm. This scheme installs edge computing devices at feeder monitoring points and combines them with a central edge computing device to collect transient current signals, then uses an adaptive differential algorithm to determine grounding faults. However, this technical solution focuses on grounding faults in distribution networks, and has limitations in covering all operating conditions such as short circuits, overloads, and islanding. Its collaborative mechanism often adopts a master-slave centralized monitoring mode, and the potential for autonomous decision-making and collaborative linkage of distributed edge computing units at the node side has not been fully realized. When dealing with the dynamic adjustment requirements of protection strategies brought about by a high proportion of distributed energy grid connection, its flexibility shows room for improvement.

When the predetermined action is reached The interrupt function is triggered on time, and the duty cycle is written to the address bus corresponding to the PWM pulse generator controller. The drive command word continuously outputs a high level to the external pins, generating the result of the coordinated protection execution.
[0078] The advantage of this approach is that it eliminates the latency loss associated with complex state machines by directly comparing the expected state word in the software with the logic level in the hardware feedback through a bitwise XOR operation.

At the same time, it activates the internal timer to count, and when the count reaches equal to When the value is equal to the specified value, the set bit is canceled, and a complete rectangular pulse output operation is performed.
[0082] Read the relative priority flag array in the policy table: CB2 action sequence number must take precedence over CB3. After the monitoring interrupt captures a feedback message indicating that the CB2 status has changed to 1 (closed), load the timer.

The ratio of the lower limit The product is calculated to obtain Perform direct subtraction operation: The sign of the result value is determined; a negative sign indicates that the voltage level at that node has exceeded the limit and dropped significantly. The equivalent reactance parameter of that branch is then extracted. .

Revised to Establish a key-value pair linked list with the corresponding node label address to obtain the operating condition positioning mapping set.
[0089] S503: The edge computing-based distribution network adaptive protection operation condition location mapping set is invoked to perform consistency checks on the power balance status of each node across the entire network. Based on the topology order, the system structure hierarchy is updated, and the operation results of each node are written into a unified power grid operation description sequence to generate dynamic optimization results for distribution network adaptive protection. Details are as follows: The information of each key-value pair node in the storage linked list is parsed sequentially.
[0090] Targeting the entire network A topological node is identified, and the measured active power values of the meters at each node are extracted to form a one-dimensional array. The actual elements extracted from the array are: (Assume the power injection is positive and the load power consumption is negative). Perform a summation arithmetic operation on this array: .
[0091] Substituting the above The floating-point elements are added together to calculate the total value. Retrieve the estimated total line loss obtained from the real-time estimation of the network loss model. Performing a subtraction operation on the two yields the difference as: .
