Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to topological identification technical field especially relates to a mobile low -voltage distribution network topological identification system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Topology identification technology is a necessary technological foundation for advancing the construction of digital distribution networks. Topology identification methods include big data methods and signal injection methods. Big data-driven methods place high demands on the power grid, requiring each user's load to be adequate and the line topology to be relatively simple. Furthermore, the identification results require multiple iterations, often taking days or even weeks to produce a correct result. Signal injection methods, on the other hand, have lower power grid requirements, offer faster identification speeds, and higher accuracy. These methods typically involve injecting a small characteristic current with a square wave envelope. The identification system includes an edge computing device, several characteristic current identification devices installed on transformer outgoing lines and / or branch lines, and several characteristic current generators installed in electricity meters and / or branch monitoring devices on branch lines. The edge computing device integrates a CCO communication module. In addition to characteristic current transmission and identification functions, the transmitting and identification devices also integrate STA communication modules. The identification process involves the edge computing device, based on known meter records, sequentially notifying the STA communication modules within the transmitting device via its own CCO communication module. The transmitting module then sends out the characteristic current signal. The identification module, in real time, reports the characteristic current signals detected on the line to the edge computing device via its own STA communication module and the edge computing device's CCO communication module. The edge computing device then summarizes and generates a topology identification map of the transformer area. For example, application number CN202022430819.5 discloses a transformer area topology identification system based on an edge computing module, including a master station management module, terminal equipment, and electricity meters. The electricity meters are used to collect electricity usage information of users in the transformer area. The terminal equipment includes an energy controller, a communication module, and at least one edge computing module. The edge computing module collects electricity data from each electricity meter in the transformer area and configures electrical topology data. The energy controller communicates with the master station management module through the communication module and sends the transformer area electrical topology relationship data. While this type of topology identification system can identify the wiring topology of all meters in a distribution area, it requires a large number of new fixed devices, resulting in high costs and difficult maintenance. For example, it requires at least one edge computing device, a characteristic current identification module equal to the number of branches, a sending module equal to the number of meters, and a communication module equal to the total number of edge computing, identification, and sending modules, leading to high costs. Furthermore, the frequency of new meter additions or changes in meter wiring in the distribution network is low, resulting in low equipment utilization. Topology identification cannot be initiated for individual electrical devices or meter files unknown to the edge computing device, resulting in poor flexibility. During real-time topology identification, the edge computing device needs to communicate in real-time with the communication modules bound to the sending and identification modules, consuming communication bandwidth between the edge computing device and other terminals and meters. Moreover, installation requires power outages, causing inconvenience to users. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a mobile low-voltage distribution network topology identification system to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
