This invention discloses a high-precision waveform acquisition and time-
stamping synchronization system for
power grid fault location, relating to the field of
power grid waveform synchronization technology. Step one involves synchronously outputting three levels of sampling under the same
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time axis, and generating upper bounds for time uncertainty and group
delay signatures for channels and segments. Step two involves near-lossless quality locking of high-energy segments, followed by encoding and
verification of sample location and peak amplitude using a common-source detection kernel; failure to meet the criteria results in lossless
rollback. Step three involves writing segment indexes, quality
metadata, fragment
verification structures, and full-file signatures into a compatible single-file extended container. Step four involves progressive retrieval by index,
breakpoint continuation, and cross-site deduplication, along with cold and hot layered storage. Step five involves calculating reference times and generating acceptance lists based on group
delay signature compensation and quality-weighted loading. This solution achieves cross-device alignment, reproducibility of key features, peak reduction during transmission and storage, unified playback and
evidence collection standards, and considers tool compatibility and auditing.
