Description

A method and device for distribution network fault detection based on traveling wave signals Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power distribution network fault detection technology, specifically relating to a power distribution network fault detection method and device based on traveling wave signals. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale deployment of power cables in power distribution networks, the resulting difficulties in cable fault location and classification have become particularly prominent.

[0003] Traditional cable fault location primarily relies on offline methods. However, offline methods suffer from limitations such as complex external equipment, limited applicability, and low accuracy, making them unsuitable for the demands of smart grid development. Furthermore, cable fault classification mainly employs the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT), which typically combines Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) with Hilbert transform. For example, patent CN106501668A discloses a method for selecting a single-phase open-circuit fault in a traditional distribution network, comprising: calculating the negative-sequence current of each feeder using the symmetrical component method; performing EMD decomposition on the negative-sequence current of each feeder when its amplitude exceeds the negative-sequence setting value to obtain the intrinsic mode components (IMFs) of each order; performing Hilbert transform on each IMF to obtain its corresponding instantaneous amplitude waveform; calculating the change in the sum of the instantaneous amplitudes of the IMFs of each feeder's set order over m cycles before and after the fault; and selecting the open-circuit fault line based on the magnitude of the change. EMD adaptively decomposes complex signals into a finite number of instantaneously meaningful, amplitude- or frequency-modulated high-frequency and low-frequency Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). The frequency components of each IMF component are related to the sampling frequency and also vary with the signal itself. However, the HHT algorithm can exhibit mode aliasing during mode decomposition. Mode aliasing refers to the fact that the same IMF component contains different scale components, which directly leads to the lack of sufficient physical meaning in the aliased IMFs, resulting in confusion in the subsequent time-frequency distribution.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a high-precision fault detection method is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0062] To better understand the above technical solutions, a detailed description of the solutions will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] The terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” as used in the embodiments of this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, and “multiple” generally includes at least two unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0064] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that an article or device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such an article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the article or device that includes said element.

[0065] To suppress mode aliasing, Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) is employed. EEMD is a noise-assisted data analysis method that effectively restores the essence of the signal. Furthermore, traditional RNNs often struggle to capture long-range information dependencies when processing long sequences due to vanishing or exploding gradients. To address this issue, the LSTM neural network algorithm is used. LSTM is a special neural network structure specifically designed to handle sequence data with long-term dependencies. LSTM effectively solves this problem by introducing a gating mechanism. However, when directly applied to distribution network fault diagnosis, LSTM neural networks struggle to directly capture the physical characteristics of fault signals.

[0066] Based on this, as shown in Figure 1, the present invention provides a distribution network fault detection method based on traveling wave signals, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0067] Acquire the fault traveling wave signal of the distribution network and determine the fault location in the distribution network;

[0085] The instantaneous frequency is obtained by averaging all components of the first intrinsic mode function and performing a Hilbert transform on the averaging result.

[0086] Among them, the mean value of all first intrinsic mode function components is applied, satisfying the following relationship:

[0088] As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment generates multiple different first white noises with different noise figures based on the fault traveling wave signal. This can include: determining the range of noise figures based on the standard deviation of the fault traveling wave signal; initializing the particles using the noise figures as particles and combining the range of noise figures to generate a particle swarm composed of multiple random particles; calculating the fitness value of the particle swarm, giving the local optimal fitness value for each particle, and taking the minimum of all local optimal fitness values ​​as the global optimal fitness value; updating the position of the particle swarm using the evolution function of the time-series particle swarm optimization algorithm and extreme value perturbation; repeating the fitness value calculation and position update steps iteratively until convergence, giving the final global optimal fitness value; wherein, the position of the particle swarm represents the position of each particle, and the position of each particle is the value of the noise figure; the convergence condition is reaching the maximum number of iterations.

This includes: combining the noise figure value of each particle in the particle swarm with the same Gaussian white noise to obtain multiple second white noises; and combining the multiple second white noises with the fault traveling wave signal to obtain multiple signals to be decomposed.

[0095] Empirical mode decomposition is performed on multiple signals to be decomposed to obtain multiple sets of second intrinsic mode function components. Based on the fitness value function, the multiple sets of second intrinsic mode function components and the fault traveling wave signal are analyzed and processed to give the local optimal fitness value of each particle.

If it is met, training is stopped, and the performance of the neural network model is verified using the test set to obtain the optimized fault detection model; otherwise, the internal parameters of the neural network model are adjusted and retrained. The training termination condition is that the network generalization ability of the neural network model reaches its maximum and the network performance meets the requirements. The normalization of the historical instantaneous frequencies includes: vectorizing the historical instantaneous frequencies into fault feature vectors H=[H1,H2,...,H...] n Then, the fault feature vector is linearly normalized so that its amplitude is within [0,1], satisfying the following relationship:

[0103]

[0104] In the formula, H s For normalized data, H is the fault feature vector. min H is the smallest fault feature vector data. max This represents the largest fault feature vector data.

[0105] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, when extracting features from instantaneous frequency based on a pre-built optimized fault detection model, the instantaneous frequency is first processed using the same normalization method as described above, and then the normalized instantaneous frequency is input into the pre-built optimized fault detection model for detection to give the fault characteristics of the distribution network.
