[Keywords] Distribution line fault monitoring fault location traveling wave positioning grounding line selection early warning load monitoring  

The operating environment of power lines is poor and the failure rate is high. Power outages often occur due to lightning strikes, external damage, insulation damage, etc.The process of diagnosing faults is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, significantly impacting users' experience of reliable power supply. This solution monitors the power frequency voltage, current, and high-frequency fault traveling waves of the power line, and adopts advanced traveling wave detection technology to achieve functions such as monitoring the discharge of insulation hazards in distribution lines, precise positioning of fault towers, and perfectly solve the problem of selecting and accurately locating common grounding faults.

The monitoring terminal conducts real-time online monitoring of traveling wave and power frequency signal data on the power line. The collected data is aggregated, preprocessed, and subjected to edge computing by the aggregation unit before being encrypted and transmitted to the distribution automation master station. This enables functions such as load monitoring, ground fault line selection, fault location, and insulation hazard early warning. Diagnostic results are accessible via web and SMS interfaces.
