The invention relates to a high-positioning-precision
power cable fault detection method based on a time-
frequency domain reflection method, and aims to solve the technical problems of insufficient positioning precision and weak anti-interference capability of a traditional fault detection method. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, enabling a
power cable to be equivalent to a uniform
transmission line distribution parameter model, and generating a
Gaussian envelope linear
frequency modulation incident
signal meeting a detection requirement by utilizing a time-
frequency domain reflection method and fusing the technical advantages of a
time domain reflection method and a
frequency domain reflection method, and injecting the
Gaussian envelope linear
frequency modulation incident
signal into a target cable; the method comprises the following steps: performing smooth pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution time-frequency transformation on a cable reflection
signal to obtain a time-frequency domain image; aiming at the problem of shape
distortion caused by elliptic features presented by GELC signals after SPWVD transformation and
noise interference, a Hough transformation
ellipse detection
algorithm is adopted,
ellipse feature parameters are accumulated and counted in a parameter space through preprocessing steps of image graying, threshold segmentation, contour extraction and the like, an
ellipse center corresponding to a time-frequency correlation peak is accurately positioned, and a time-frequency
correlation curve is obtained. And determining the position of a cable fault point. The method effectively overcomes the limitation of a single-domain reflection method and the influence of
noise interference, remarkably improves the precision and reliability of
power cable fault positioning, and is suitable for fault detection scenes of open circuit,
short circuit, impedance mismatching and the like of various power cables.
