Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power system technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for active detection of the condition of DC cables. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of wind power technology, the number and length of DC cables (including submarine cables) are constantly increasing. The causes of failures are complex, generally including external damage, water erosion, and environmental corrosion. DC cable failures account for more than 70% of all economic losses caused by equipment failures, and the repair costs and power losses are significantly higher than other types of equipment. From the perspective of equipment operation and maintenance and ensuring safety, there is an urgent need for DC cable condition monitoring.

[0003] Related technologies typically detect the condition of DC cables by detecting the reflected pulse signal at the fault point. This is generally performed when the DC cable is de-energized, i.e., offline testing of the DC cable. However, pulse signals are significantly affected by transmission attenuation and waveform distortion. The amplitude of the pulse signal decreases considerably after long-distance transmission, affecting the detection range and reducing detection accuracy. Furthermore, the smoothing of the pulse signal peaks also limits the detection range and reduces its interference resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems of small detection range, low accuracy, and poor anti-interference capability in existing technologies, this application provides an active detection method and apparatus for DC cable status.

[0005] Firstly, this application provides an active method for detecting the condition of a DC cable, which may include: The status detection signal of the DC cable is determined based on the equivalent inverse filter coefficient of the signal amplifier.

[0006] The reflected signal is identified based on the state detection signal.

[0007] The condition of the DC cable is actively detected based on the condition detection signal and the reflected signal.

[0008] In some possible implementations, the state detection signal of the DC cable is determined based on the equivalent inverse filter coefficient of the signal amplifier, including: Construct the correspondence between the input voltage and the output voltage of the signal amplifier.

[0009] The corresponding relationship is fitted using a nonlinear fitting method to obtain the equivalent inverse filter coefficients.

[0010] The state detection signal is obtained by convolving the linear frequency modulated signal with the inverse filter coefficients.

[0011] Furthermore, the correspondence satisfies:

[0012] in, Indicates that the signal amplifier is in t Input voltage during the time period, Indicates that the signal amplifier is in t Output voltage during the time period This represents the equivalent filtering coefficient of the signal amplifier.

[0013] In other possible implementations, the reflected signal is identified based on the state detection signal, including: The status detection signal is injected into the DC cable through high-frequency impedance.

[0014] Construct a matched filter based on the state detection signal.

[0015] The state detection signal and the reflected signal are filtered by a matched filter to obtain the filtered signal.

[0016] The reflected signal is identified based on the filtered signal.

[0017] Furthermore, the reflected signal is identified based on the filtered signal, including: Obtain the actual time difference. The actual time difference indicates the time difference between the arrival of the state detection signal and the largest amplitude reflected signal in the filtered signal at the measurement point.

[0018] If the time deviation between the actual time difference and the preset time difference is less than or equal to the preset first deviation threshold, and the amplitude deviation between the reflected signal and the preset amplitude is less than or equal to the preset second deviation threshold, the DC cable is determined to be operating normally.

[0019] If the time deviation between the actual time difference and the preset time difference is less than or equal to the preset first deviation threshold, and the amplitude deviation between the reflected signal and the preset amplitude is greater than the preset second deviation threshold, it is determined that a fault has occurred at the end of the DC cable.

[0020] If the actual time difference deviates from the preset time difference by less than the preset first deviation threshold, a fault occurs in the middle section of the DC cable.

[0021] Optionally, in the case of normal operation of the DC cable or failure at the end of the DC cable, the reflected signal is the reflected signal from the end of the DC cable.

[0022] In the event of a fault in the middle section of a DC cable, the reflected signal is the reflected signal from the fault point.

[0023] In some other possible implementations, the state of the DC cable is actively detected based on the state detection signal and the reflected signal, including: Calculate the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable based on the actual time difference.

[0024] If the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable is less than the length of the DC cable, it is determined that the shielding layer and / or armor layer in the DC cable are in a faulty state.

[0025] For example, the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable satisfies:

[0026] in, This indicates the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable. This indicates the speed at which a signal travels through the conductor of a DC cable. Indicates the actual time difference.

[0027] Secondly, this application provides an active detection device for the condition of a DC cable, which may include: The determination module is used to determine the state detection signal of the DC cable based on the equivalent inverse filter coefficient of the signal amplifier.

[0028] The identification module is used to identify the reflected signal based on the state detection signal.

[0029] The detection module is used to actively detect the status of the DC cable based on the status detection signal and the reflected signal.

[0030] In some possible implementations, the module is specifically used for: Construct the correspondence between the input voltage and the output voltage of the signal amplifier.

[0031] The corresponding relationship is fitted using a nonlinear fitting method to obtain the equivalent inverse filter coefficients.

[0032] The state detection signal is obtained by convolving the linear frequency modulated signal with the inverse filter coefficients.

[0033] Optional, the correspondence satisfies:

[0034] in, Indicates that the signal amplifier is in t Input voltage during the time period, Indicates that the signal amplifier is in t Output voltage during the time period This represents the equivalent filtering coefficient of the signal amplifier.

[0035] Furthermore, the identification module is specifically used for: The status detection signal is injected into the DC cable through high-frequency impedance.

[0036] Construct a matched filter based on the state detection signal.

[0037] The state detection signal and the reflected signal are filtered by a matched filter to obtain the filtered signal.

[0038] The reflected signal is identified based on the filtered signal.

[0039] In some other possible implementations, the identification module is used for: Obtain the actual time difference. The actual time difference indicates the time difference between the arrival of the state detection signal and the largest amplitude reflected signal in the filtered signal at the measurement point.

[0040] If the time deviation between the actual time difference and the preset time difference is less than or equal to the preset first deviation threshold, and the amplitude deviation between the reflected signal and the preset amplitude is less than or equal to the preset second deviation threshold, the DC cable is determined to be operating normally.

[0041] If the time deviation between the actual time difference and the preset time difference is less than or equal to the preset first deviation threshold, and the amplitude deviation between the reflected signal and the preset amplitude is greater than the preset second deviation threshold, it is determined that a fault has occurred at the end of the DC cable.

[0042] If the actual time difference deviates from the preset time difference by less than the preset first deviation threshold, a fault occurs in the middle section of the DC cable.

[0043] Optionally, in the case of normal operation of the DC cable or failure at the end of the DC cable, the reflected signal is the reflected signal from the end of the DC cable.

[0044] In the event of a fault in the middle section of a DC cable, the reflected signal is the reflected signal from the fault point.

[0045] In some other possible implementations, the detection module is specifically used for: Calculate the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable based on the actual time difference.

[0046] If the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable is less than the length of the DC cable, it is determined that the shielding layer and / or armor layer in the DC cable are in a faulty state.

[0047] Optionally, the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable must satisfy:

[0048] in, This indicates the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable. This indicates the speed at which a signal travels through the conductor of a DC cable. Indicates the actual time difference.

[0049] In another aspect, this application also provides a computer device, including: one or more processors.

[0050] A processor is used to execute one or more programs.

[0051] The detection method described above is implemented when one or more programs are executed by one or more processors.

[0052] Furthermore, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon. When the computer program is executed, it implements the detection method described above.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The active DC cable condition detection method provided in this application determines the DC cable condition detection signal based on the equivalent inverse filter coefficient of the signal amplifier. The reflected signal is then identified based on the condition detection signal. The condition of the DC cable is actively detected based on both the condition detection signal and the reflected signal. It can be seen that this application achieves the identification of the reflected signal based on the equivalent inverse filter coefficient, thereby realizing online detection of the DC cable condition. This not only expands the detection range and improves the detection accuracy but also enhances the anti-interference capability of the condition detection.

[0054] This application obtains the status detection signal based on the linear frequency modulated signal and the inverse filter coefficient. It does not need to consider the peak shift problem caused by the difference in the attenuation rate of different frequency signals during submarine cable transmission. The linear frequency modulated signal has a stable wave velocity and is not affected by the transmission distance. In other words, the attenuation effect is small over long distances, making it more suitable for long-distance DC cables. Furthermore, the signal is compressed and enhanced by filtering, which further expands the detection range and significantly improves the accuracy of long-distance active fault location.

[0055] This application constructs a matched filter based on the state detection signal, and filters the state detection signal and the reflected signal based on the matched filter, thereby realizing the identification of the reflected signal, compensating for signal distortion, and further improving the accuracy of fault detection.

[0056] This application injects a status detection signal into a DC cable based on an externally shielded magnetic ring, which can increase the high-frequency impedance of the grounding. This increases the grounding impedance without affecting the power frequency grounding, thereby enabling the injected signal to directly enter the metal shielding layer and realize fault location and grounding detection.

[0057] This application enables the state detection signal to be injected into a metal shielding layer that is grounded at both ends. It is applicable not only to general DC cable fault location but also to grounding detection (i.e., state detection) of the metal shielding layer.

[0058] This application is based on a state detection signal with an amplitude lower than the safe operating voltage, and the signal injection point is in the metal shielding layer, which allows for live installation and operation, ensuring good safety. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0061] The technical solutions in this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, embodiments, claims, and drawings of this application are for distinguishing purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such as including a series of steps or units. A method, system, product, or apparatus is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0063] It should be understood that in this application, "at least one (item)" means one or more, and "more than" means two or more. "And / or" is used to describe the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent three cases: only A exists, only B exists, and both A and B exist simultaneously, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one (item) of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one (item) of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, "a and b", "a and c", "b and c", or "a and b and c", where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.

[0064] Example 1: This application provides an active detection method for the status of a DC cable (such as a DC submarine cable). Figure 1 As shown, the detection method 100 includes the following steps: Step S1: Determine the state detection signal of the DC cable based on the equivalent inverse filter coefficient of the signal amplifier.

[0065] Step S2: Identify the reflected signal based on the state detection signal.

[0066] Step S3: Actively detect the status of the DC cable based on the status detection signal and the reflected signal.

[0067] In some possible implementations, in step S1, the state detection signal of the DC cable is determined based on the equivalent inverse filter coefficient of the signal amplifier, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it can specifically include: Step S11: Construct the correspondence between the input voltage and the output voltage of the signal amplifier.

[0068] Step S12: Use a nonlinear fitting method to fit the corresponding relationship to obtain the equivalent inverse filter coefficients.

[0069] Step S13: Convolve the linear frequency modulated signal with the inverse filter coefficients to obtain the state detection signal.

[0070] Furthermore, the correspondence satisfies: ; in, Indicates that the signal amplifier is in t Input voltage during the time period, Indicates that the signal amplifier is in t Output voltage during the time period This represents the equivalent filtering coefficient of the signal amplifier.

[0071] In some other possible implementations, step S2 involves identifying the reflected signal based on the state detection signal, including: The condition detection signal is injected into the DC cable through high-frequency impedance. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the high-frequency impedance (which can be a shielding magnetic ring, etc.) is connected in parallel with the signal amplifier, and the DC cable can include conductor 11, metal shielding layer 12 and armor layer 13.

[0072] Construct a matched filter based on the state detection signal.

[0073] The state detection signal and reflected signals (including reflected signals from the fault point and / or fault signals from the end) are filtered using a matched filter to obtain the filtered signal. It is understandable that when a DC cable experiences an abnormal grounding of its metal shield (abnormal grounding generally indicates a fault in the DC cable itself or damage to the protective sheath or armor layer), a grounding point reflected signal will appear.

[0074] The reflected signal is identified based on the filtered signal.

[0075] Optionally, the status detection signal needs to be limited by the following factors: (1) Amplitude: Low amplitude is required to meet on-site safety regulations, and reducing the output requirements of the signal generator can also improve operational safety and reduce costs.

[0076] (2) Time width: The compression gain is determined by the product of the time width and the bandwidth. Increasing the signal time width can improve the compression gain.

[0077] (3) Bandwidth: A large signal bandwidth can improve compression gain, but it also requires a higher center frequency. However, signals with higher frequencies attenuate relatively quickly, so the signal bandwidth should not be too wide.

[0078] Based on the above considerations, the linear frequency modulated (LFM) signal parameters are set as follows: amplitude not greater than 50V (safe operating voltage); center frequency not greater than 1MHz; bandwidth not greater than 2MHz; and duration not less than 200µs. Assuming a signal bandwidth of 400kHz and a total duration of 200µs, the theoretical compression gain is 40 times. That is, when a 50V LFM signal is injected, its signal-to-noise ratio can reach the level of a 2kV pulse signal after compression through matched filtering.

[0079] In this embodiment, a comparison of the waveforms of the state detection signal and the reflected signal before and after filtering is shown below. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the normalized amplitude. The orange solid line represents the waveforms of the state detection signal and the reflected signal before filtering, while the blue solid line represents the waveforms of the state detection signal and the reflected signal after filtering. It can be seen that the signal amplitude is unstable before filtering, and the midpoint of the waveform is offset, which will lead to subsequent positioning errors; the signal amplitude is stable after filtering, and the waveform is closer to the standard linear frequency modulated signal.

[0080] Furthermore, the reflected signal is identified based on the filtered signal, including: Obtain the actual time difference. The actual time difference indicates the time difference between the arrival of the state detection signal and the largest amplitude reflected signal in the filtered signal at the measurement point.

[0081] If the time deviation between the actual time difference and the preset time difference is less than or equal to the preset first deviation threshold, and the amplitude deviation between the reflected signal and the preset amplitude is less than or equal to the preset second deviation threshold, the DC cable is determined to be operating normally.

[0082] If the time deviation between the actual time difference and the preset time difference is less than or equal to the preset first deviation threshold, and the amplitude deviation between the reflected signal and the preset amplitude is greater than the preset second deviation threshold, it is determined that a fault has occurred at the end of the DC cable.

[0083] If the actual time difference deviates from the preset time difference by less than the preset first deviation threshold, a fault occurs in the middle section of the DC cable.

[0084] Optionally, in the case of normal operation of the DC cable or failure at the end of the DC cable, the reflected signal is the reflected signal from the end of the DC cable.

[0085] In the event of a fault in the middle section of a DC cable, the reflected signal is the reflected signal from the fault point.

[0086] In some other possible implementations, step S3 involves actively detecting the state of the DC cable based on the state detection signal and the reflected signal, including: The distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable is calculated based on the actual time difference, that is, the fault point is located based on the actual time difference.

[0087] If the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable is less than the length of the DC cable, it is determined that the shielding layer and / or armor layer in the DC cable are in a faulty state.

[0088] For example, the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable satisfies:

[0089] in, This indicates the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable. This indicates the speed at which a signal travels through the conductor of a DC cable. Indicates the actual time difference.

[0090] In this embodiment, the waveforms of the DC cable under normal operation and fault conditions (including conductor, shielding, and armor faults) are compared as follows: Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown. Figure 5a In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the normalized amplitude. The orange solid line represents the waveforms of the status detection signal and the end reflection signal under normal operating conditions, while the green solid line represents the waveforms of the status detection signal and the end reflection signal under fault conditions. Figure 5b In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents compression gain. Figure 5b The solid blue line represents the waveform after filtering under normal operating conditions. Under normal operating conditions, the time difference between the beginning and end is fixed. Figure 5b The solid orange line represents the filtered waveform under fault conditions. Due to the fault in the DC cable, a fault-point reflection signal appears between the reflected signals at the ends, and its time difference is shorter than the time difference between the beginning and end under normal operating conditions. Furthermore, as... Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown, the reflected signal is enhanced and the pulse width is compressed through filtering, thereby improving the anti-interference capability and positioning accuracy of active detection of DC cable status.

[0091] Example 2: Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an active detection device for the condition of a DC cable. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the detection device 200 may include: The determination module 201 is used to determine the state detection signal of the DC cable based on the equivalent inverse filter coefficient of the signal amplifier.

[0092] The identification module 202 is used to identify the reflected signal based on the state detection signal.

[0093] The detection module 203 is used to actively detect the state of the DC cable based on the state detection signal and the reflected signal.

[0094] In some possible implementations, the determining module 201 is specifically used for: Construct the correspondence between the input voltage and the output voltage of the signal amplifier.

[0095] The corresponding relationship is fitted using a nonlinear fitting method to obtain the equivalent inverse filter coefficients.

[0096] The state detection signal is obtained by convolving the linear frequency modulated signal with the inverse filter coefficients.

[0097] Optional, the correspondence satisfies:

[0098] in, Indicates that the signal amplifier is in t Input voltage during the time period, Indicates that the signal amplifier is in t Output voltage during the time period This represents the equivalent filtering coefficient of the signal amplifier.

[0099] Furthermore, the identification module 202 is specifically used for: The condition detection signal is injected into the DC cable through high-frequency impedance. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the high-frequency impedance (which can be a shielding magnetic ring, etc.) is connected in parallel with the signal amplifier, and the DC cable can include conductor 11, metal shielding layer 12 and armor layer 13.

[0100] Construct a matched filter based on the state detection signal.

[0101] The state detection signal and reflected signals (including reflected signals from the fault point and / or fault signals from the end) are filtered using a matched filter to obtain the filtered signal. It is understandable that when a DC cable experiences an abnormal grounding of its metal shield (abnormal grounding generally indicates a fault in the DC cable itself or damage to the protective sheath or armor layer), a grounding point reflected signal will appear.

[0102] The reflected signal is identified based on the filtered signal.

[0103] In this embodiment, a comparison of the waveforms of the state detection signal and the reflected signal before and after filtering is shown below. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the normalized amplitude. The orange solid line represents the waveforms of the state detection signal and the reflected signal before filtering, while the blue solid line represents the waveforms of the state detection signal and the reflected signal after filtering. It can be seen that the signal amplitude is unstable before filtering, and the midpoint of the waveform is offset, which will lead to subsequent positioning errors; the signal amplitude is stable after filtering, and the waveform is closer to the standard linear frequency modulated signal.

[0104] In some other possible implementations, the identification module 202 is used for: Obtain the actual time difference. The actual time difference indicates the time difference between the arrival of the state detection signal and the largest amplitude reflected signal in the filtered signal at the measurement point.

[0105] If the time deviation between the actual time difference and the preset time difference is less than or equal to the preset first deviation threshold, and the amplitude deviation between the reflected signal and the preset amplitude is less than or equal to the preset second deviation threshold, the DC cable is determined to be operating normally.

[0106] If the time deviation between the actual time difference and the preset time difference is less than or equal to the preset first deviation threshold, and the amplitude deviation between the reflected signal and the preset amplitude is greater than the preset second deviation threshold, it is determined that a fault has occurred at the end of the DC cable.

[0107] If the actual time difference deviates from the preset time difference by less than the preset first deviation threshold, a fault occurs in the middle section of the DC cable.

[0108] Optionally, in the case of normal operation of the DC cable or failure at the end of the DC cable, the reflected signal is the reflected signal from the end of the DC cable.

[0109] In the event of a fault in the middle section of a DC cable, the reflected signal is the reflected signal from the fault point.

[0110] In some other possible implementations, the detection module 203 is specifically used for: Calculate the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable based on the actual time difference.

[0111] If the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable is less than the length of the DC cable, it is determined that the shielding layer and / or armor layer in the DC cable are in a faulty state.

[0112] Optionally, the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable must satisfy:

[0113] in, This indicates the distance from the fault point to the beginning of the DC cable. This indicates the speed at which a signal travels through the conductor of a DC cable. Indicates the actual time difference.

[0114] In this embodiment, the waveforms of the DC cable under normal operation and fault conditions (including conductor, shielding, and armor faults) are compared as follows: Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown. Figure 5a In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the normalized amplitude. The orange solid line represents the waveforms of the status detection signal and the end reflection signal under normal operating conditions, while the green solid line represents the waveforms of the status detection signal and the end reflection signal under fault conditions. Figure 5b In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents compression gain. Figure 5b The solid blue line represents the waveform after filtering under normal operating conditions. Under normal operating conditions, the time difference between the beginning and end is fixed. Figure 5b The solid orange line represents the filtered waveform under fault conditions. Due to the fault in the DC cable, a fault-point reflection signal appears between the reflected signals at the ends, and its time difference is shorter than the time difference between the beginning and end under normal operating conditions. Furthermore, as... Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown, the reflected signal is enhanced and the pulse width is compressed through filtering, thereby improving the anti-interference capability and positioning accuracy of active detection of DC cable status.
