The invention discloses a sub-
microsecond timekeeping method suitable for an
overhead line fault monitoring terminal, and belongs to the technical field of power
system power transmission line fault monitoring, and the timekeeping method comprises the following specific steps: I, receiving and
smoothing a 1PPS
signal output by a
satellite, and updating an average count value in real time; iI, comparing the count value per second output by the temperature compensation
crystal oscillator with the average count value in real time, and dynamically adjusting the output frequency of the temperature compensation
crystal oscillator according to a comparison result; iII, automatically switching a working mode in real time according to the quality of the 1PPS
signal output by the
satellite; according to the invention, low cost, low
power consumption and submicrosecond-level high-precision time keeping are realized, and the method is suitable for applications with limited energy taking, such as an
overhead line distributed fault
distance measurement terminal and the like.
