Description

Methods and systems for high-resistance fault diagnosis in distribution networks Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of power grid operation and maintenance technology, and specifically to a method and system for high-resistance fault diagnosis in distribution networks based on deep learning algorithm models, capable of identifying the causes of high-resistance faults. Background Technology

[0002] The power distribution network is a system composed of branches that transmits electricity to the final consumption units, and it is widespread in rural areas and cities. As the final end of the power system, the power distribution network is directly connected to users. Therefore, rapid fault diagnosis and minimizing repair time are prerequisites for providing users with a high-quality power supply, which is crucial to the production and daily life of thousands of households.

[0003] High-resistance faults are a common type of fault in distribution networks. They refer to faults caused by factors such as insulation aging, animal intrusion, sand and vegetation disturbance, and natural disasters, resulting in an increase in the line's potential to ground. Because high-resistance faults are usually subtle and involve small fault currents, they are unlikely to trigger line protection devices to trip, making them difficult to detect and prevent. However, high-resistance faults can generate electric arcs, which are extremely dangerous and can easily lead to electrical fires and high-voltage electric shocks.

[0004] Existing power grid fault diagnosis and identification methods based on algorithm models, such as extracting features from current waveforms and then using set thresholds to determine whether a high-resistance fault has occurred, mainly focus on building models to determine whether a high-resistance fault has occurred. There is no technology to determine the cause of high-resistance faults, which cannot effectively alert distribution network operation and maintenance personnel to the on-site situation and is not conducive to maintenance personnel arranging emergency repair work.

[0005] Existing fault location methods for power distribution networks mainly use steady-state methods for fault segment location and fault ranging, which have low accuracy and poor disturbance rejection capabilities. Furthermore, existing fault ranging methods relying on artificial intelligence employ ANN models, which have few layers and shallow networks. They have not been tested on large datasets, fail to leverage the advantages of deep learning, and cannot accurately locate fault positions, hindering maintenance personnel from carrying out emergency repairs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a method and system for high-resistance fault diagnosis in distribution networks, which can effectively reflect fault characteristics, establish a mapping relationship with fault characteristics, and fully develop and utilize artificial intelligence methods in fault location research to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the embodiments of this disclosure adopt the following technical solutions:

[0008] This disclosure provides a method for diagnosing high-resistance faults in a distribution network, including the following steps:

[0024] Based on the first dual features, iterative calculations are performed to extract features used to identify whether a fault has occurred, determine the fault type, and identify the cause of the fault.

[0025] In some embodiments, the third image is a fault phase VI curve image obtained from the original feature data, and the fourth image is a verticalized VI curve generated by performing a verticalization operation on the fault phase VI curve image.

[0026] The third and fourth images are input into the second model for calculation to locate the faulty section, including:

[0027] The fault phase VI curve image and the verticalized VI curve are normalized to obtain the second dual feature;

[0028] Based on the second dual feature, iterative calculations are performed to extract features used to identify faulty sections;

[0029] The third image and the fourth image are input into the third model for calculation to locate the fault distance, including:

[0030] The fault phase VI curve image and the verticalized VI curve are normalized to obtain the third dual feature;

[0031] Based on the third dual feature, iterative calculations are performed to extract features used to identify the fault distance.

[0032] In some embodiments, the construction of the first model includes: obtaining a fault sample set of three-phase and zero-sequence VI curves at the feeder end; inputting the fault sample set of three-phase and zero-sequence VI curves at the feeder end into an initial first model for training to obtain the first model.

[0033] In some embodiments, the construction of the second model includes: obtaining a fault sample set of the VI curve of the faulty phase at the feeder end; inputting the fault sample set of the VI curve of the faulty phase at the feeder end into the initial second model for training to obtain the second model.

[0034] The construction of the third model includes: a fault sample set of VI curves of branch node fault phases; inputting the fault sample set of VI curves of branch node fault phases into the initial third model for training to obtain the third model.

[0035] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0036] Store the original data and the calculation results of the first model, the second model, and the third model; add the original data and the calculation results of the first model, the second model, and the third model to the sample set used to train the first model, the second model, and the third model.

[0060] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of this disclosure will become more apparent when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and in view of the following detailed description.

[0061] Specific embodiments of this disclosure are described thereafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the claimed embodiments are merely examples of this disclosure, which may be implemented in various ways.

Therefore, the specific structural and functional details claimed herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely to serve as the basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use this disclosure in a variety of substantially any suitable detailed structures.

[0062] This specification may use the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in another embodiment,” “in yet another embodiment,” or “in still another embodiment,” all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to this disclosure.

[0063] The first embodiment of this disclosure provides a power distribution network fault diagnosis method, applied to the power distribution network fault diagnosis system shown in Figure 1. Referring to Figure 2, the power distribution network fault diagnosis method includes the following steps:

[0064] S1: Data acquisition module 1 collects raw characteristic data from the power distribution network.

[0065] In this step, the raw characteristic data collected by the data acquisition module 1 in the distribution network are the voltage and current of the feeders and the voltage and current waveform data of the branch nodes. That is, it includes: voltage waveform data of the feeders, current waveform data of the feeders, voltage waveform data of the branch nodes, and current waveform data of the branch nodes. All of the above data need to be denoised and preprocessed. The subsequent steps will use the raw characteristic data for calculation.

[0066] Preferably, in this step, the voltage recording data of the feeder, the current recording data of the feeder, the voltage recording data of the branch node, and the current recording data of the branch node are extracted in real time in a data window with a length of two cycles, and then denoised and preprocessed. More preferably, the two-cycle signal after the fault time is extracted, the signal is processed using a low-pass filter, the high-frequency cutoff frequency is 150Hz, and the secondary signal is converted into a primary signal through the transformer ratio.

[0067] S2: The fault identification module 2 processes the original feature data into first feature data and second feature data, and inputs the first feature data and second feature data into the first model to convert them into a first image and a second image. The first model calculates the first image and the second image to identify the fault occurrence, fault type and fault cause.

[0068] Specifically, in this step, the first feature data is obtained from the original feature data through three-phase transformation, and the first image is a three-phase VI curve image. That is, the original feature data is transformed into the form of three-phase current and three-phase voltage, and then curve images are generated on the vertical coordinate axis with the three-phase voltage and three-phase current as coordinate points respectively.

[0069] The second feature data is obtained by zero-sequence transformation of the original feature data. The second image is a zero-sequence VI curve image, that is, the original feature data is transformed into the form of zero-sequence current and zero-sequence voltage, and then curve images are generated on the vertical coordinate axis with zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current as coordinate points respectively.

[0070] The first model is used to identify whether a fault has occurred, and if so, to determine the type and cause of the fault.

[0071] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, the first model includes an input layer, an intermediate layer, and an output layer.

[0072] The input layer converts the collected feeder terminal and node voltage and current data into three-phase VI curve images and zero-sequence VI curve images and normalizes them. The normalized three-phase VI curve images and zero-sequence VI curve images are then used as dual image features input to the intermediate layer.

[0073] Preferably, the three-phase VI curve image is normalized using the following method: limiting the x-range of the coordinates to [-X, X] and the y-range to [-Y, Y], with each phase curve distinguished by a different color. Preferably, X = 400A and Y = 10000V. The zero-sequence VI curve image is normalized using the following method: using the maximum absolute values ​​of voltage and current as reference values ​​to obtain a normalized curve, with both x and y ranging from [-1, 1]. The RGB values ​​of the curve color are [r, r, r], where the value of r is measured by the magnitude of the zero-sequence current. The zero-sequence current magnitude range [-Imax, Imax] corresponds to RGB values ​​[0, 0, 0] to [255, 255, 255]. Preferably, Imax = 100A.

[0074] The intermediate layer consists of a convolutional layer and a channel attention mechanism. Specifically, each of the two residual blocks forms two pathways, which extract two image features respectively, convert them into feature maps, and merge them into a comprehensive feature map set according to the channel direction. Then, the comprehensive feature map set features are extracted by the three residual block structures.

[0075] The output layer consists of an average pooling layer, a fully connected layer, a softmax layer, and a classification layer. It can determine whether a fault has occurred based on the calculation results of the intermediate layers, and if a fault is determined to have occurred, it can determine the fault type and the cause of the fault.

[0076] Specifically, the fault types include: single-phase short-circuit ground fault, single-phase open-circuit ground fault, two-phase short-circuit ground fault, two-phase phase-to-phase fault, and three-phase short-circuit fault.

[0077] The causes of the faults include wet sand and gravel faults, dry sand and gravel faults, tree-related faults, animal-related faults, lightning strike faults, and wildfire faults. Among these, wet sand and gravel faults, dry sand and gravel faults, tree-related faults, animal-related faults, and volcanic faults are permanent faults, while lightning strike faults are considered transient faults. It is worth noting that, in practical terms, wet sand and gravel faults, dry sand and gravel faults, tree-related faults, and animal-related faults fall under the category of high-resistance grounding faults.

[0078] S3: The fault location module 3 converts the original feature data into a third image, then verticalizes the third image into a fourth image, and inputs the third image and the fourth image into the second model for calculation to locate the fault section; the third image and the fourth image are input into the third model for calculation to locate the fault distance.

[0079] Specifically, in this step, the original feature data is transformed into a third image, and then the third image is verticalized into a fourth image. The third image refers to the fault phase VI curve image generated by using the voltage and current of the original feature data as coordinate points, and the fourth image refers to the verticalized VI curve generated by performing a verticalization operation on the fault phase VI curve image.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 6, the fault phase VI curve is generated by fitting an ellipse to the fault phase VI curve. The verticalization method is to rotate the fault phase VI curve counterclockwise by 90°-θ angle, and divide the curve horizontally into four parts with the same height and width. These parts are then merged from left to right and from top to bottom in a 2×2 matrix to form a verticalized VI curve image.

[0081] The advantage of verticalizing the curve is that it can better highlight the curve's changing characteristics in the coordinate graph, and can avoid the curve's changing characteristics being obscured by the reduction in image dimensions due to small changes in features.

[0082] The second model is used for fault segment identification, that is, to determine the location of the fault segment.

[0083] Furthermore, when it is determined that the fault occurred in a certain section of the outgoing line, the fault phase VI curve and the verticalized VI curve at the upstream branch point of that section are taken as dual features and input into the fault ranging model to measure the fault distance; when it is determined that the fault occurred at a branch point of the outgoing line, the fault phase VI curve and the verticalized VI curve at that branch point are taken as dual features and input into the fault ranging model to measure the fault distance.

[0084] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4, the second model includes an input layer, an intermediate layer, and an output layer.

[0085] The input layer converts the collected feeder-end fault phase voltage and current data into fault phase VI curve images and normalizes them. The normalization method can refer to the normalization method of the three-phase VI curve image and the zero-sequence VI curve image in step 2, which will not be repeated here.

[0086] The intermediate layer consists of convolutional layers, preferably composed of 5 residual structure blocks, to extract image features.

[0087] The output layer consists of an average pooling layer, a fully connected layer, a softmax layer, and a classification layer to identify faulty sections or branch points.

[0088] The third model is used to determine the distance to the fault.

[0089] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 5, the third model includes an input layer, an intermediate layer, and an output layer.

[0090] The input layer converts the branch point voltage and current data into a fault phase VI curve image and normalizes it as the first feature. The normalized fault phase VI curve is then verticalized and divided into four parts along the y-axis and spliced ​​together to form a vertical VI curve image as the second feature. The normalization method can refer to the normalization method of the three-phase VI curve image and the zero-sequence VI curve image in step 2, which will not be repeated here.

[0091] The intermediate layer consists of a convolutional layer and a channel attention mechanism. Preferably, each channel consists of 8 residual structural blocks forming two pathways, which extract two image features respectively, convert them into feature map sets, and merge them into a comprehensive feature map set according to the channel direction.

[0092] The output layer consists of an average pooling layer, a fully connected layer, and a regression layer, and outputs the distance to the fault branch point.

[0093] By combining the second model to locate the faulty section and the third model to locate the distance to the faulty branch point, the fault location can be accurately determined.

[0094] S4: The fault recovery module 4 determines the nature of the fault based on the fault type and the fault cause, determines the precise location of the fault based on the fault section and the fault distance, and generates a corresponding fault handling plan based on the fault nature and the precise location of the fault.

[0095] Specifically, the fault recovery module determines the nature of the fault based on the fault type and cause output by the fault identification module 2 in step S2, and outputs a fault reclosing command based on the fault nature and fault section. The corresponding protection device executes protection actions according to the reclosing command, and the fault type, cause, nature, section, and distance are displayed visually for maintenance personnel to verify. This allows for the rapid interruption of high-resistance faults in the distribution network, preventing them from generating arcs that could cause fires or electric shocks.

[0096] Specifically, generating a corresponding fault handling plan based on the nature of the fault and the precise location of the fault also includes:

[0097] For the faulty section, a reclosing decision instruction is given. After the line circuit breaker trips the corresponding phase, the upstream circuit breaker of the faulty section is accelerated for reclosing. After the reclosing time T1, preferably 0.8s, the reclosing faulty section is close to the power supply side. If it is identified as a permanent fault, the three-phase circuit breaker is accelerated to trip. If it is identified as a transient fault, the circuit breaker reclosing is successful.

[0098] For branch lines, a reclosing decision instruction is given; after the corresponding phase of the line circuit breaker trips, the non-faulty line section and the non-faulty branch line circuit breaker are reclosed at an accelerated speed. After a reclosing time T1, preferably 0.8s, the branch line circuit breaker is reclosed. If a permanent fault is identified, the three-phase circuit breaker trips at an accelerated speed; if a transient fault is identified, the circuit breaker reclosing is successful.

[0099] Preferably, the data collected by the data acquisition module and the results calculated by the fault identification module and the fault location module are used as historical samples by the data storage module 5 to expand the dataset, and the dataset is used to train the first model, the second model and the third model.

[0100] Specifically, data storage module 5 stores the information and reclosing instructions extracted by the data acquisition module after the fault is recovered, as historical reclosing samples to expand the sample set. When a sample set of a certain size is accumulated, the parameters of fault identification module 2 and fault location module 3 are updated.

[0101] A second embodiment of this disclosure provides an initial construction method for a first model, a second model, and a third model, including:

[0102] Three sample sets of feeder and branch node faults are obtained. Specifically, the sample sets include: a sample set of three-phase and zero-sequence VI curve faults at the feeder end for the first training and testing; a sample set of phase VI curve faults at the feeder end for the second model training and testing; and a sample set of phase VI curve faults at the branch node for the third training and testing.

[0103] The three fault sample sets obtained are respectively input into the first model, the second model, and the third model for training until convergence, to obtain the trained first model, the second model, and the third model.

[0104] The three fault sample sets are generated through a simulated power distribution network model, as shown in Figures 7 and 8. The generation steps include:

[0105] Fault sample data were obtained for use as samples. The causes of the faults included wet sand and gravel high-resistance grounding faults, dry sand and gravel high-resistance grounding faults, tree-touching high-resistance grounding faults, animal-touching high-resistance grounding faults, wildfire faults, and lightning strike faults. The fault distance was randomly set on the line section or branch line.

[0106] Based on the acquired fault sample data, construct the corresponding three-phase VI curve, zero-sequence VI curve, fault phase VI curve, and verticalized VI curve, and perform normalization processing.

[0107] The three-phase VI curves and the zero-sequence VI curves are used to form the first sample set for the first model.

[0108] The fault phase VI curves and verticalized VI curves of the feeder are used to form a second sample set for the second model.

[0109] The fault phase VI curves and verticalized VI curves of the branch nodes are used to form the third sample set for the third model.

[0110] In summary, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a method and system for high-resistance fault diagnosis in distribution networks. This system enables fault occurrence judgment, fault cause identification, fault type identification, fault section location, fault distance measurement, and fault recovery. It helps power system operation and maintenance personnel to more comprehensively understand and handle fault situations, improving the efficiency and accuracy of fault handling. The system integrates a fault identification model, a fault section identification model, and a fault distance measurement model. Utilizing VI curves obtained through different processing methods, it can fully and accurately reflect the fault cause, type, section, and distance. Compared with existing technologies, this method and system have more systematic functionality.

[0111] For high-resistance faults, this model can effectively identify the cause, type, section, and distance of the fault, preventing protection from failing to trip due to weak high-resistance fault characteristics, thus avoiding disasters such as electrical fires. Simultaneously, the model can help to promptly locate high-resistance fault points and provide accurate fault information, thereby avoiding potential catastrophic consequences. For non-high-resistance faults, the model has an even more accurate identification effect. This model system can effectively cope with interference factors such as load imbalance, line parameter errors, and transformer errors, ensuring the stability and reliability of the model system in actual operation and improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis and identification.
