The invention relates to a multi-
branch power distribution network double-end traveling wave fault positioning method and
system, and the method comprises the steps: deploying a plurality of measurement points based on the head and
tail ends of a radial power distribution network and
branch terminals, collecting
topological information, and calculating the linear mode
wave velocity; using the three-phase
voltage data after the fault to extract traveling wave line mode and
zero mode components through modulus decoupling; a line mode component with the strongest global
mutation is selected as a reference, and a wave head
time sequence table is generated through
wavelet decomposition and
mutation detection; and correcting the zero-mode
wave velocity by combining the topology, the
time sequence table and the line-mode
wave velocity, and determining a fault interval and outputting a fault position after compensation and correction by using the line-mode and zero-mode wave head
time difference. According to the invention, through a wave head
time sequence analysis and
time difference compensation
mechanism based on cooperation of multiple measuring points, positioning errors caused by
clock asynchronization and parameter disturbance are effectively overcome, accurate
distance measurement which is not influenced by
clock errors is realized, and the
distance measurement precision is significantly improved; and meanwhile, the point distribution requirement is simplified, accurate judgment and positioning of a fault interval can be realized only by a
branch single measuring point, and high economy and deployment flexibility are both achieved.
