Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power equipment technology, and more specifically, to a method for optimizing load control of cable branch boxes. Background Technology
[0002] Cable branch boxes, as core equipment for branching, switching and tapping cable lines in power distribution networks, are widely used in urban residential areas, industrial parks and commercial complexes. They are key nodes to ensure reliable power supply in power distribution networks. With the acceleration of urbanization and the expansion of new energy load access, the load fluctuation of power distribution networks is becoming increasingly severe. The load control mode of traditional cable branch boxes can no longer meet the operation requirements of modern power grids.
[0003] In existing technologies, cable branch boxes generally adopt a static load control method based on factory rated values. Overload risk is judged solely based on the rated capacity marked on the equipment nameplate, resulting in some equipment being in a state of hidden overload for a long time, accelerating insulation aging, and causing joint burnout, short circuits, or even fires. The existing control mode is mainly passive overload protection, which only triggers the circuit breaker to trip when the load exceeds the rated value. This can easily cause sudden large-scale power outages, seriously affecting the user's power experience. Most existing branch boxes operate in an independent mode, lacking a load coordination and scheduling mechanism between adjacent branch boxes. This often results in severe overload in local areas and a large amount of idle capacity in surrounding branch boxes, which is a waste of resources. In terms of load transfer decision-making, existing technologies mostly adopt the principle of shortest path or minimum number of switching operations, resulting in poor economic efficiency of transfer schemes and even accelerating equipment damage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems in the background art, this invention proposes a method for optimizing the load control of cable branch boxes.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for optimizing load control of a cable branch box, comprising the following steps: S1: Collect the health parameters of the cable branch box and normalize the health parameters; S2: Generate the equipment health score of the branch box based on the processed health parameters. Obtain the dynamic load bearing coefficient based on the equipment health score and combined with the ambient temperature, humidity and running time. Then calculate the dynamic rated load and load risk score, and classify the branch box according to the load risk score. S3: Construct a load curve prediction model for the target branch box, output the predicted load curve for the target branch box for the next 24 hours through the model, simultaneously predict the dynamic rated load time series curve, calculate the hourly remaining capacity, and identify the overload time window and the maximum load to be transferred. S4: Taking the branch box that needs support as the center, define an electrical connection range with a power supply radius of 3km, calculate the minimum remaining capacity of all branch boxes within the range for the next 24 hours, and screen out the transferable branch boxes with a remaining capacity greater than 0. S5: Construct a load transfer cost coefficient prediction model for transferable branch boxes. Output the predicted load transfer cost coefficient for each transferable branch box through the model, sort the coefficients from smallest to largest, and combine the coefficient threshold with the total load to be transferred to determine the final transfer branch box and the load it will receive.
[0006] Furthermore, cable branch boxes are distributed throughout the city for cable line branching, transfer, and connection. Health parameters of each branch box are collected by data acquisition equipment. These health parameters include cable joint temperature, box internal temperature, inlet and outlet insulation resistance, grounding current, and vibration amplitude. The health parameters are then normalized.
[0007] Furthermore, the process of generating a device health score for the branch box based on the processed health parameters includes: Equipment health score H:
[0008] In the formula, , , , and These are weighting coefficients, obtained through training based on historical data.
[0009] Furthermore, the process of calculating the dynamic rated load and load risk score by obtaining the dynamic load bearing factor based on the equipment health score and adjusting for ambient temperature, humidity, and operating time includes: By combining equipment health scores and environmental data, the factory rated load of the branch box is corrected in real time to obtain the dynamic load bearing coefficient K:
[0010] In the formula, For ambient temperature, Where z represents the ambient relative humidity, and z represents the cumulative operating time of the equipment; Branch box dynamic rated load ,in, This is the original factory rated load; Calculate the current load factor R:
[0011] In the formula, This represents the current total active power. By combining the 15-minute load change rate dP / dt, the load risk score S is obtained:
[0012] In the formula, 0.7 and 0.3 are weighting coefficients. The load change rate is 15 minutes.
[0013] Furthermore, the process of classifying branch boxes based on load risk scores includes: The branch boxes are classified into three levels based on the load risk score: Low-risk branch box: S<0.6, operating normally, monitored once per hour; Medium-risk branch box: 0.6≤S<0.8, closely monitor, once every 10 minutes; High-risk branch box: S≥0.8, immediately initiate load optimization scheduling process; Mark the medium-risk branch boxes and high-risk branch boxes as target branch boxes.
[0014] Furthermore, the process of constructing a load curve prediction model for the target branch box includes: The load curve refers to the hourly predicted load curve of the target branch box for the next 24 hours; Factors affecting the load curve include: user electricity consumption characteristics, weather forecasts, holiday information, historical load for the same period, upstream transformer load, line impedance, construction activity information, emergency event information, and time-of-use pricing information. Set a monitoring period and obtain historical load curve data of a single target branch box in different monitoring periods. The historical load curve data includes the user electricity consumption characteristics, weather forecast, holiday information, historical load at the same time, upstream transformer load, line impedance, construction activity information, emergency information, time-of-use electricity price information, and the historical load curve of the single target branch box in different monitoring periods. Based on the user electricity consumption characteristics, weather forecasts, holiday information, historical loads during the same period, upstream transformer loads, line impedance, construction activity information, emergency information, time-of-use pricing information, and corresponding historical load curves of the target branch boxes in different historical load curve data, a load curve prediction set is generated and divided into the first training set and the first test set. A first convolutional neural network is constructed, and user electricity consumption characteristics, weather forecasts, holiday information, historical loads during the same period, upstream transformer loads, line impedance, construction activity information, emergency event information, and time-of-use electricity price information from different historical load curve data in the first training set are used as the input data of the first convolutional neural network, and the corresponding historical load curves in the first training set are used as the output data of the first convolutional neural network. The first convolutional neural network is trained to obtain the first initial convolutional neural network. The first initial convolutional neural network is validated using the first test set. The first initial convolutional neural network that outputs a value less than or equal to the preset first test error threshold is used as the load curve prediction model. At the end of each monitoring cycle, the user electricity consumption characteristics, weather forecast, holiday information, historical load during the same period, upstream transformer load, line impedance, construction activity information, emergency event information, and time-of-use electricity price information of each target branch box within the monitoring cycle are input into the load curve prediction model to obtain the predicted load curve for each target branch box.
[0015] Furthermore, based on the dynamic load carrying capacity factor, combined with the predicted ambient temperature and cumulative equipment operating time for the next 24 hours, the dynamic rated load for each hour is predicted, and a dynamic rated load time series curve is generated. The predicted load curve and the dynamic rated load curve are plotted on the same coordinate system, and the remaining capacity at each moment is calculated.
[0016] In the formula, Let be the remaining capacity at time t. The dynamic rated load at time t, Let be the predicted load at time t; Overload judgment and load transfer calculation process: Iterate through the remaining capacity at all times in the next 24 hours. If any time exists... If the value is less than 0, mark the branch box as a branch box that needs support and record the overload start time. Overload end time and maximum overload The maximum overload is the total load that needs to be transferred. If all moments If the value is ≥0, then the branch box is marked as a transferable branch box, and its remaining capacity can be used to take over the transferred load of other branch boxes.
[0017] Furthermore, taking the branch box requiring support as the geographical center and electrical core, a power supply radius of 3km is defined as the load coordination dispatch range. Within this range, all cable branch boxes that have direct or indirect electrical connections with the branch box requiring support are selected as the initial branch boxes. For all initially selected branch boxes, based on their dynamic rated load time series curve and predicted load time series curve, the remaining capacity is calculated hourly and the minimum remaining capacity value for the next 24 hours is extracted. Finally, branch boxes with a minimum remaining capacity value greater than 0 are selected and marked as transferable branch boxes as candidates to take over the load transferred from the branch boxes that need support.
[0018] Furthermore, the process of constructing a load transfer cost coefficient prediction model for transferable branch boxes includes: The load transfer cost factor refers to the cost of a transferable branch box accommodating transferred loads; Factors affecting the load transfer cost coefficient include: the current load risk score of the transferable branch box, electrical distance, remaining capacity margin, number of switch operations, user importance level, historical transfer success rate, line load rate, voltage deviation, and current equipment health score. Obtain historical load transfer cost coefficient data for a single transferable branch box. The historical load transfer cost coefficient data includes the current load risk score, electrical distance, remaining capacity margin, number of switch actions, user importance level, historical transfer success rate, line load rate, voltage deviation, current equipment health score, and historical load transfer cost coefficient of the single transferable branch box within the monitoring period. Based on the current load risk score, electrical distance, remaining capacity margin, number of switching actions, user importance level, historical transfer success rate, line load rate, voltage deviation, current equipment health score and corresponding historical load transfer cost coefficient of the corresponding transferable branch box in different historical load transfer cost coefficient data, a load transfer cost coefficient prediction set is generated and divided into a second training set and a second test set. A second convolutional neural network is constructed. The current load risk score, electrical distance, remaining capacity margin, number of switching actions, user importance level, historical transfer success rate, line load rate, voltage deviation and current equipment health score in the different historical load transfer cost coefficient data in the second training set are used as the input data of the second convolutional neural network, and the corresponding historical load transfer cost coefficient in the second training set is used as the output data of the second convolutional neural network. The second convolutional neural network is trained to obtain the second initial convolutional neural network. The second initial convolutional neural network is validated using the second test set. The second initial convolutional neural network that outputs a second test error threshold less than or equal to the preset second test error threshold is used as the load transfer cost coefficient prediction model. The current load risk score, electrical distance, remaining capacity margin, number of switch operations, user importance level, historical transfer success rate, line load rate, voltage deviation, and current equipment health score of each transferable branch box are input into the load transfer cost coefficient prediction model to obtain the predicted load transfer cost coefficient for each transferable branch box.
[0019] Furthermore, based on the load transfer cost coefficient prediction model, the predicted load transfer cost coefficients of all candidate transferable branch boxes are obtained. All candidate transferable branch boxes are sorted in ascending order of predicted load transfer cost coefficients. A coefficient threshold is set, and only transferable branch boxes with coefficients less than the coefficient threshold are selected to participate in load transfer. Starting with the first transferable branch box in the sorting list, the transfer load is allocated sequentially, with each allocated load not exceeding the minimum remaining capacity of that transferable branch box, until the cumulative allocated load reaches the total load to be transferred. Finally, the list of transferable branch boxes participating in the transfer and the load capacity of each transferable branch box are determined.
[0020] The technical effects and advantages of the cable branch box load optimization control method of the present invention are as follows: (1) By using load transfer cost coefficient prediction and regional collaborative scheduling technology, the optimal allocation of distribution network resources has been achieved, the utilization rate of distribution network equipment has been greatly improved, the power grid operation cost and user power outage losses have been reduced. Traditional load transfer methods only consider the number of switching actions, resulting in unreasonable transfer schemes. However, this invention constructs a load transfer cost coefficient prediction model, outputs the predicted load transfer cost coefficient of transferable branch boxes, and generates the optimal transfer scheme with the goal of minimizing the total cost. By defining a collaborative scheduling range of 3km power supply radius, the idle capacity of adjacent branch boxes is fully explored, the average load rate of distribution network equipment is increased, the investment demand for new power distribution facilities is delayed, and non-critical user loads are transferred first, avoiding power outages for primary and secondary critical users.
[0021] (2) Through the dynamic load carrying capacity assessment driven by equipment health and the overload prediction technology of dual time-series curves, a fundamental transformation from passive trip protection to active and proactive prevention and control has been achieved, which significantly improves the reliability of power supply and the service life of equipment. The traditional static rated value assessment method cannot reflect the actual operating status of the equipment, resulting in insufficient accuracy of overload warning. However, this invention combines ambient temperature, humidity and running time to correct the dynamic rated load of the equipment in real time. By cross-comparing the load curve prediction model with the dynamic rated load time-series curve, the overload time window and the maximum load to be transferred can be accurately identified 24 hours in advance, which fundamentally avoids power outage accidents caused by overload tripping, improves the reliability of power supply, and avoids long-term overload operation of equipment by reasonably controlling the equipment load rate, which extends the average service life of cable branch boxes and reduces the cost of equipment replacement and maintenance.
