Solution Overview

Problem

The existing zero sequence current transformers used for measuring leakage current in electrical circuits suffer from measurement errors due to magnetic leakage and uneven winding, leading to a 'pseudo-leakage' phenomenon that significantly overestimates the actual leakage current.

Innovation Solution

A leakage measurement error compensation method and system based on cloud-edge collaborative computing, which involves monitoring load voltage, load current, and leakage current data at the edge terminal, uploading this data to a cloud platform for iterative training of a pseudo-leakage compensation model, and then feeding back the model parameters to the edge terminal for data processing to eliminate pseudo-leakage errors.

1Reliability

If zero sequence current transformer is used to measure leakage current, then leakage current can be monitored, but measurement errors occur due to magnetic leakage and uneven winding causing pseudo-leakage phenomenon

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveleakage current monitoring reliabilityVSAvoidleakage current measurement precision
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where the edge terminal sends measured leakage current data to the cloud platform, which processes the data and returns compensation parameters to the edge terminal. This closed-loop feedback system continuously optimizes the measurement accuracy by compensating for pseudo-leakage errors based on historical data and environmental factors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a cloud platform as an intermediary between the edge terminal and the compensation process. The cloud platform receives raw measurement data, performs complex data processing and analysis, generates compensation parameters, and returns them to the edge terminal. This intermediary handles the computationally intensive tasks that would burden the edge terminal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If cloud platform processes all data for pseudo-leakage compensation, then accurate compensation parameters can be obtained, but communication bandwidth and platform burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing tasks between edge terminal and cloud platform. The edge terminal performs preliminary data collection and local processing, while the cloud platform handles complex analysis and parameter generation. This segmentation reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the network, conserving bandwidth and reducing platform burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic compensation mechanism where the edge terminal can perform real-time compensation using locally stored compensation parameters for urgent situations. The terminal dynamically switches between using pre-generated compensation parameters and requesting updated parameters from the cloud platform based on the urgency and nature of the measurement needs.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the cloud platform pre-calculate and generate compensation parameters based on historical data and environmental factors before they are needed at the edge terminal. These pre-generated parameters are stored locally at the edge terminal, enabling fast real-time compensation without requiring complex calculations at the terminal during critical measurements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
