[0001] Related applications

[0002] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410677572.7, filed on May 29, 2024, and entitled "Method and device for identifying direct current fault arc, computer device and storage medium", the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0004] To improve the ability of user side of urban power grid to participate in power grid interaction, a light storage flexible technology appears. The technology uses the outer surface of a building to generate photovoltaic power, and stores the generated power in a storage battery. The storage battery and a charging pile near a parking lot are connected to a direct current power distribution network for charging / discharging, so as to realize effective utilization of solar energy and electric vehicle battery resources and flexible power utilization. Therefore, a new type of urban power system based on a direct current power supply and distribution system will develop rapidly in the future.

[0005] However, in the case of long-time high-load operation of the direct current power supply and distribution system, connection loosening or animal scratching of the electrical circuit, etc., problems such as aging of electronic components and electrical circuit insulation layer, reduction of insulation effect, damage of insulation layer or loosening of contact point, etc. may occur, thereby causing a fault arc and threatening the normal operation of the system. The occurrence of the fault arc may burn the circuit and cause an electrical fire accident, which seriously threatens life and property safety.

[0006] At present, whether a fault arc exists is usually determined by analyzing the time-frequency domain characteristics of the loop current. However, when the fault arc occurs, the time-frequency domain characteristics of the loop current are not obvious.

[0079] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0080] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a method for identifying a DC fault arc is provided, and the embodiment takes the method applied to a terminal as an example. It can be understood that the method can also be applied to a server, and can also be applied to a system including a terminal and a server, and is implemented through the interaction of the terminal and the server. In the embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0081] In step S202, sample current data is obtained based on a pre-built simulation system. The simulation system is used to simulate a target DC power supply and distribution system, and the state of the simulation system includes the existence of an arc fault. The sample current data is obtained by sampling the DC bus current of the simulation system.

[0082] The target DC power supply and distribution system can be a subsystem in a power system powered by a DC source such as a photovoltaic array, a battery inside a building, a battery of an electric vehicle, etc. The simulation system is used to simulate the target DC power supply and distribution system, and the simulation system can be built according to the UL1699B standard.

[0083] Exemplarily, the state of the simulation system can be switched, and sample current data is obtained through an inductance sensor located at a DC bus of the simulation system, so that the sample current data includes current data in the state of the fault arc. Here, the frequency of sampling the DC bus current can be determined according to the hardware performance, for example, the sampling frequency can be 1 megahertz (MHz), 100 kilohertz (kHz), 200 kHz, etc.

[0084] In step S204, a data mining algorithm based on association rules is used to process the sample current data to obtain a target set, and a target item set is extracted to obtain a target feature. The target set is a frequent item set of the sample current data.

[0085] Exemplarily, the sample current data can be stored in a storage recorder, and the sample current data can be analyzed based on a MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) platform. A suitable data mining algorithm can be selected according to the characteristics of the sample current data. For example, the data mining algorithm used for feature extraction of the sample current data can include at least one of the following: Apriori algorithm, FP-Growth (Frequent Pattern Growth) algorithm, classification analysis, clustering analysis, outlier analysis, etc.

[0086] In step S206, target current data is obtained, and in the case that the features of the target current data match the target features, it is determined that the target DC power supply and distribution system has a fault arc. The target current data is obtained by sampling the DC bus current of the target DC power supply and distribution system.

[0087] Exemplarily, the target features under different electrode materials and different circuit topologies can be evaluated, and in the case that the target features are identifiable, a data mining algorithm that determines the target features is used to process the target current data to obtain the features of the target current data. The features of the target current data are matched with the target features to determine whether the target DC power supply and distribution system has a fault arc. For example, the matching can be performed according to the characteristic waveform or the peak value of the normalized feature.

[0088] In the method for identifying the direct current arc fault, the simulation system is built according to the target direct current power supply system, and the sample current data in the arc fault state is obtained by sampling the direct current bus current of the simulation system. Then, the potential law and the correlation of the sample current data are mined by processing the sample current data based on the data mining algorithm of the association rule, and the target feature related to the arc fault state is obtained by extracting the feature of the frequent item set. The target feature is matched with the feature of the direct current bus current of the target direct current power supply system, so that the direct current arc fault in the target direct current power supply system can be effectively identified. The method can adaptively extract the time-frequency domain features of various electrode materials and various circuit topologies, and improve the identification efficiency and accuracy of the direct current arc fault.

[0089] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the step S204 can include:

[0090] In step S2041, the sample current data is reconstructed in phase space to obtain a first set of target dimensions.

[0091] Exemplarily, the first set A of h dimensions can be represented by a first expression. The first expression can include:

[0092] A={I h (t1),I h (t2),…I h (t n )}。

[0093] In step S2042, a data mining algorithm based on the association rule is used to traverse the data in the first set to obtain a second set. The second set is a mapping set associated with the first set.

[0094] Exemplarily, the second set B can be represented by a second expression. The second expression can include:

[0095] B={f h (t1),f h (t2),…f h (t m )}。

[0096] In step S2043, when the association evaluation index between the second set and the first set meets the preset numerical range, the second set is determined as the target set. The association evaluation index at least includes the support, the confidence and the positive and negative.

[0097] Exemplarily, the support S between the second set and the first set can be determined by a first formula. The first formula can include:

[0098] S = sup(A→B) = sup(A∪B) = P(AB).

[0099] The second formula can be used to determine the confidence C between the second set and the first set. The second formula can include:

[0100] C = con(A→B) = P(B|A) = P(AB) / P(A).

[0101] The third formula can be used to determine the positive-negative L between the second set and the first set. The second formula can include:

[0102] Wherein, A→B is a formal description of the association rule between the first set A and the second set B, and P is a probability operator.

[0103] For example, the preset numerical range can be: support S is greater than 0.8, confidence C is greater than 0.8, and positive-negative L is greater than 10. It can be understood that when the association evaluation index between the second set and the first set meets the preset numerical range, the second set and the first set have a strong association relationship.

[0104] In step S2044, the data in the target set is summed up respectively according to the dimension, and then divided by the target dimension to obtain the target feature.

[0105] For example, the target feature can be a time-frequency feature, and the fourth formula can be used to determine the target feature F. The fourth formula can include:

[0106] Wherein, M is the number of elements of the second set B, and H is the embedding dimension.

[0107] In one possible implementation, the parameters involved in the above feature extraction process can be determined according to the characteristics of the sample current data. For example, the embedding dimension H is set to 5, the time window length n is set to 8000, the S initial value is set to 0.8, the C initial value is set to 0.8, and the L initial value is set to 10; the embedding dimension H is set to 5, the time window length n is set to 4000, the S initial value is set to 0.7, the C initial value is set to 0.7, and the L initial value is set to 5.

[0108] The embodiment provides a specific method for extracting sample current data features. By analyzing the relationship between data, the potential operation rule of the data in the system can be obtained, and then the features related to the fault arc state in the system can be extracted.

[0109] In an exemplary embodiment, the sample current data can include a first sub-sample sequence, the first sub-sample sequence being obtained by sampling the DC bus current of the simulation system when the simulation system is in the state of no arc fault, as shown in FIG. 3, and the method for identifying the DC fault arc can further include:

[0110] In step S2051, the average value of the first sub-sample sequence is calculated to obtain a first average value.

[0111] In step S2052, the target feature is divided by the first average value to obtain a normalized target feature.

[0112] Exemplarily, the fifth formula can be used to determine the normalized target feature NF. The fifth formula can include: NF = F / mean[F( / )];

[0113] wherein F is the target feature, F( / ) is the first sub-sample sequence, and mean is an operator for calculating the average value of a time sequence signal.

[0114] Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, FIG. 4 is a waveform diagram of sample current data in an embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a waveform comparison diagram of the normalized target feature obtained by using the data mining algorithm based on the association rule and the normalized target feature obtained by using the related technology. In FIG. 4, I is the waveform of the sample current data of the inverter load under the aluminum electrode material, and F0 is the target feature obtained by wavelet transform on I. At this time, the variation of the time domain waveform of the current is not obvious, and the target feature obtained by wavelet transform on I also has no obvious change. That is, the time-frequency domain feature caused by the fault arc under the aluminum electrode material is relatively weak. Therefore, it is difficult to realize the identification of the fault arc by using the related technology. In FIG. 5, NF is the normalized target feature obtained by using the Apriori algorithm under the inverter load and the aluminum electrode material, and NF0 is the normalized target feature obtained by using the wavelet transform method under the inverter load and the aluminum electrode material. It can be understood that the normalized target feature obtained by using the data mining algorithm based on the association rule has higher identification than the normalized target feature obtained by using the related technology.

[0115] In the embodiment, by normalizing the target feature of the sample current data, the effectiveness of the target features extracted by different methods can be more intuitively compared.

[0116] In an exemplary embodiment, the sample current data can include a second sub-sample sequence, the second sub-sample sequence being obtained by sampling the DC bus current of the simulation system when the simulation system is in the state of arc fault, please continue to refer to FIG. 3, and the method for identifying the DC fault arc can further include:

[0117] Step S2053, the average value of the second sub-sample sequence is calculated to obtain a second average value.

[0118] Step S2054, the second average value is divided by the first average value to obtain the feature evaluation index of the target feature.

[0119] Exemplarily, the sixth formula can be used to determine the feature evaluation index Q of the target feature. The sixth formula can include: Q = mean[F( / / )] / mean[F( / )];

[0120] Wherein, F( / ) is the first sub-sample sequence, F( / / ) is the second sub-sample sequence, and mean is an operator for calculating the average value of the time sequence signal. For example, please continue to refer to FIG. 4, under the condition of inverter load and aluminum electrode material, the value of the feature evaluation index obtained by using the Apriori algorithm is 23.16, and the value of the feature evaluation index obtained by using the wavelet transform method is 0.94.

[0121] Step S2055, in the case that the feature evaluation index is greater than a preset threshold, it is determined that the target feature is effective.

[0122] Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, FIG. 6 is a comparison diagram of the index values of the feature evaluation indexes obtained by using the data mining algorithm based on the association rule and the related technology under the condition of resistance load in an embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a comparison diagram of the index values of the feature evaluation indexes obtained by using the data mining algorithm based on the association rule and the related technology under the condition of inverter load in an embodiment. Wherein, Q is the index value of the feature evaluation index obtained by using the Apriori algorithm under the condition of multiple electrode materials, and Q0 is the index value of the feature evaluation index obtained by using the wavelet transform method under the condition of multiple electrode materials. It can be understood that the feature evaluation index obtained by using the data mining algorithm based on the association rule has a larger index value compared with the feature evaluation index obtained by using the related technology, that is, the data mining algorithm based on the association rule can better identify the fault arc under the condition of multiple electrode materials. For example, for aluminum, brass and other electrode materials, the related technology is difficult to effectively identify, and the data mining algorithm based on the association rule can realize the identification of the fault arc under the condition of aluminum, brass and other electrode materials; for stainless steel, graphite and other electrode materials, the data mining algorithm based on the association rule can improve the identifiability of the fault arc.

[0123] Further, the data mining algorithm with the largest feature evaluation index Q can be selected as the target processing method under the condition of the current electrode material and the circuit topology, and the target current data is processed by using the target processing method to obtain the feature of the target current data.

[0124] In this embodiment, by determining the effectiveness of the target feature according to the feature evaluation index, the effectiveness of the target feature extracted by different methods can be compared through simple numerical comparison, and the efficiency of determining the optimal feature extraction method is further improved.

[0125] In an exemplary embodiment, the simulation system can include a direct current simulation power supply, a fault arc generator, a resistor, and a grid-connected inverter; the direct current simulation power supply, the fault arc generator, and the resistor are connected in series; the fault arc generator is used to ignite a fault arc; and the grid-connected inverter is connected in parallel with the resistor and is used to connect to a power grid.

[0126] For example, referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a circuit topology of a simulation system according to an embodiment of the present application. The direct current simulation power supply can include a rectifier and a direct current / direct current (DC / DC) converter; the direct current converter can work under any designed volt-ampere characteristic and is used to simulate the output of a photovoltaic array; and the direct current converter can provide a constant voltage mode and a constant current mode. The resistor can be connected in series with a first switch, and the first switch is used to connect the resistor to the simulation system. The grid-connected inverter source can be connected in series with a second switch, and the second switch is used to connect the grid-connected inverter to the simulation system. The arc fault generator (AFG) is located on the direct current bus between the load and the direct current simulation power supply; the arc fault generator has two electrodes (a stationary electrode and a moving electrode), and the moving electrode can ignite a fault arc according to the UL1699B standard by using the draw arc method.

[0127] It should be noted that FIG. 8 takes the simulation system for simulating series arcs as an example, and the simulation system can also be used to simulate parallel arcs. In this case, the circuit topology of the simulation system can be that the arc fault generator is connected in parallel with the load.

[0128] In an exemplary embodiment, the electrode material of the arc fault generator includes at least one of aluminum, brass, red copper, ductile cast iron, stainless steel, and graphite; the arc fault generator is connected in parallel with a fault switch, and the state of the fault switch includes closing and opening; the arc fault generator is connected to the simulation system when the fault switch is in the open state; the arc fault generator is disconnected from the simulation system when the fault switch is in the closed state; and as shown in FIG. 9, the step S202 can include:

[0129] In step S2021, the direct current bus current of the simulation system is sampled in a first preset time period to obtain a first sub-sample sequence.

[0131] The target material can be one of aluminum, brass, copper, ductile cast iron, stainless steel, graphite, or other materials that can be used as an electrode. It can be understood that by switching the electrode material of the fault generator, a fault arc under different electrode materials can be triggered, and then the target features of the sample current data under different electrode materials can be extracted.

[0132] In step S2023, the fault switch is switched to a closed state, and the DC bus current of the simulation system is sampled within a third preset time period to obtain a third sub-sample sequence.

[0133] Exemplarily, referring to FIGS. 4 and 8, in the first preset time period (stage I in FIG. 4), the simulation system is in normal operation, and the current value tends to be stable at 15 amperes; the electrode material of the fault arc generator is switched to aluminum, the fault switch is switched to an open state, the fault arc generator is connected to the simulation system to generate a DC fault arc, in the second preset time period (stage II in FIG. 4), the time-domain waveform of the current starts to fluctuate, and the current value decreases as a whole; the fault switch is switched to a closed state, and the fault arc generator is disconnected from the simulation system, in the first preset time period (stage III in FIG. 4), the current value tends to be 0.

[0134] In summary, in the above-mentioned DC fault arc identification method, by building a simulation system according to a target DC power supply system and sampling the DC bus current of the simulation system, sample current data in an arc fault state can be obtained; then, by processing the sample current data based on a correlation rule-based data mining algorithm, the frequent item set of the sample current data can be determined, the potential law and correlation of the sample current data can be mined, and the target features related to the arc fault state can be obtained by feature extraction on the frequent item set; the target features are matched with the features of the DC bus current of the target DC power supply system, and the DC fault arc in the target DC power supply system can be effectively identified. The above-mentioned method can adaptively extract time-frequency domain features under multiple electrode materials and multiple circuit topologies, and improves the identification efficiency and accuracy of the DC fault arc.
