  As described above, in order to measure and collect physical quantities such as surges in slave stations of the power system, conventionally, by receiving radio waves having time information such as GPS, and extracting time information from received radio waves, The slave station time is synchronized. However, if time information such as GPS is used to accurately adjust the time between each slave station, it is necessary to install a receiver such as GPS in each slave station. There is a problem that a plurality of receiving devices are required, and a problem that the cost for the plurality of receiving devices becomes expensive.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to perform transmission with high accuracy time synchronization between each slave station and the master station without using radio waves having time information such as GPS. It is an object to provide a time synchronization method for a distribution system and an accident location method and apparatus using the time synchronization method.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a master station and a plurality of slave stations installed in a transmission / distribution line connected via a transmission path of a multi-core optical cable, In an accident point locating method that synchronizes the time to measure and collect physical quantities of the power transmission and distribution system and locate the fault point of the power transmission and distribution system, one core in the multi-core optical cable is a dedicated time synchronization line, and the master station Generating time information and a clock synchronized with the time information, transmitting the time information and the clock through the time synchronization dedicated line, and transmitting the time information and the clock at the plurality of slave stations connected to the time synchronization dedicated line. By receiving, the measurement and collection time of the physical quantity of the transmission and distribution system is unified in all the plurality of slave stations, and the master station sets the time synchronization dedicated line prior to the measurement and collection of the physical quantity of the transmission and distribution system. Delay time measurement data via multiple Transmitting to the station, the slave station transmits the delay time measurement data back, and the master station measures the delay time of the optical signal from the time until the delay time measurement data is fed back from the transmission, Measure delay times in the plurality of slave stations, and when the accident is detected in the slave station, the slave station reports to the master station that the accident has been detected via another core in the optical cable, Upon receiving the notification, the master station transmits an instruction to stop the collection of physical quantities to all the slave stations via the separate core to stop the update of the physical quantities of all the slave stations, and after stopping the update of the physical quantities, The master station collects the physical quantities of all the slave stations collected at the unified measurement / collection time via the separate core, and the master station determines the received physical quantities based on the delay time of the received slave station. The physical quantity generated due to the power system accident To calculate the measurement and collection time, it is characterized in that so as to orientation of the fault point.

  In addition, the sampling cycle used in each slave station can be set to the same sampling cycle by dividing, multiplying or using the clock created in synchronization with the time in the master station as it is. Another feature is that it performs accurate time synchronization and accident location.

  In addition, when transmitting and receiving clock and time information data, the data signal is embedded in the clock signal, and using the CDR technology that allows the clock signal and the data signal to arrive at the same time, high-precision time synchronization and accident location There is another feature in that.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to achieve highly accurate time synchronization between a master station and each slave station without providing a GPS receiver in each slave station.

  Moreover, since the accident point location method and system can be constructed based on the existing system, these can be realized at low cost.

  In order to use the same clock that is corrected for time difference and synchronized to the time for sampling in all slave stations, or to apply the CDR technology, the data is transmitted and received so that the time data and the clock signal are synchronized. This enables highly accurate time synchronization and accident location. In addition, it is a system that utilizes the facilities of the electric power company and is flexible in operation.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of an electric power system and an accident point location method for the electric power system according to the present invention.

As shown, a plurality of slave stations _a 1 in the electric transmission _{1, a 2, ···, a} n are installed at predetermined intervals, the slave station _a 1 _~a n (n 2 The above positive integer) is connected to the optical cable 3 laid along the transmission and distribution line 1. A parent station 4 is further connected to the optical cable 3. Further, a substation 5 is connected to the transmission and distribution line 1. This arrangement, from the master station 4, switch provided in each slave station a ₁ ~a _n of the (not shown) such as a remote control, to operate the transmission and distribution lines are implemented in the normal It is a form.

Now, in the prior art fault point locating by the arrival time difference of the surge waveform, but installing a GPS receiver device to each slave station a ₁ ~a _n, by taking the time synchronization by the laid optical cables in the present invention, GPS Accident points are located without using.

First, an outline of a method for locating an accident point without using the GPS will be described below. Slave station a ₁ ~a _n that the power from the substation 5 installed in the electric transmission 1 supplies the collected zero-phase current and zero-phase voltage of transmission and distribution lines 1 at each sensor b ₁ ~b _n, monitoring doing. The optical cable connects the slave station a ₁ ~a _n and the master station 4 is a cable of multi-core, and the slave station a ₁ ~a _n and the master station 4, high-speed data transmission over an optical cable of the multi-core It is carried out. Here, the sampling cycle slave station a ₁ ~a _n is used to collect physical quantities such as surge is generated based on time information and clock synchronized to that master station occurs, it is multi-core optical cable 3 This is implemented by using one core for time synchronization only.

If a ground fault occurs at the ground fault point 7 (between the slave stations a ₁ and a ₂ ) of the transmission / distribution line 1, a surge 8 occurs in the zero-phase current and zero-phase voltage of the transmission / distribution line 1, The surge 8 propagates in both the left and right directions around the ground fault point 7. Surge 8 to the propagation, the sensor b ₁ and b ₂ of the slave stations a ₁ and the slave station a _2, is detected at the time synchronized sampling period. The surge 8 is transmitted along with the time information to the master station 4 via the optical cable 3, and the master station 4 calculates the arrival time difference of the surge 8 to identify the ground fault point 7.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2, a specific example of a configuration of a master station 4 and the slave station a ₁ ~a _n, illustrating an operation in detail about the fault point locating. The waveform of the main part of FIG. 2 is shown in FIG. 3, and the accident point location processing flow is shown in FIG. Here, since each of the slave stations a ₁ ~a _n the same configuration will be described with a slave station a ₁ to the representative.

Prior to the accident point locating, the delay time associated with the transmission by the optical cable 3 with the master station 4 and the slave station a ₁ measurement is performed (step S1 of FIG. 4). The time synchronization generator 11 of the master station 4 generates a generated clock 91 and time information 92 as shown in FIG. 3, and these are generated by the time synchronization communication unit 12 via the time synchronization dedicated line 31 of the optical cable 3. send to the slave station _{a 1.} This can be performed using a well-known CDR (Clocl & Data Recovery) technique. In the slave station a ₁ , these are received by the time synchronization communication unit 21, and are reproduced by the time information reproduction unit 25 into a reproduction clock 93 and reproduction time information 94. As shown in FIG. 3, there is a delay time between the time information 92 and the reproduction time information 94.

The delay time measurement command is issued from the man interface unit 14 of the master station 4 to the control unit 13 or from the control unit 13 to each slave station at regular intervals. Then, the control unit 13 transmits to the slave station a ₁ via the optical cable 32 of another core from the communication unit 15 an instruction of measurement delay time of the slave station a _1, is received by the communication unit 27 of the slave station a _1. The controller unit 22 interprets the delay time measurement command, transmits an acknowledgment of the command to the master station 4 via the separate optical cable 32, and sets the time synchronization communication unit 21 to the optical signal return reception mode. .

The master station 4, the slave station a _1, the transmission time (stored in the storage unit 16) transmits a signal for the delay time measurements with known and transmitted back at time synchronous communication unit 21. Then, the arithmetic unit 17 performs an operation for subtracting the transmission time from the time received by the time synchronous communication unit 12, so that the delay time of the slave station a ₁ (the frame of the time information 92 and the reproduction time information 94 of FIG. 3). The time difference from the previous frame is measured at the master station and is doubled because it is a turnaround), and is stored in the storage unit 16. The master station 4 performs this delay time measurement for each slave station in advance. The stored delay time is used in the next stage of fault location.

In the accident point location (step S2 in FIG. 4), the time synchronization generator 11 of the master station 4 generates the generated clock 91 and time information 92 synchronized therewith, and the time synchronization communication unit 12 uses the time synchronization dedicated line of the optical cable 3. The generated clock 91 and time information 92 are transmitted to the slave station a ₁ via 31. The time synchronization communication unit 21 of the slave station a ₁ receives them, and the time information reproduction unit 25 reproduces the reproduction clock 93 and the reproduction time information 94. The sampling generator 23 divides or multiplies the reproduction clock 93 or uses it as the sampling clock 95 as it is.

Next, the sensing unit 24 samples the sensor waveform 96 that is the output of the sensor b _{1 with} the sampling clock 95 to obtain a sampling waveform (or sampling value) 97. The controller unit 22 constantly stores the time value information in the storage unit 26 while monitoring the sampling value, and updates the data in the storage unit 26.

  The controller unit 22 has a function of detecting a surge waveform using a threshold value or the like. Assuming that a surge 8 (see FIG. 1) due to a ground fault or the like is detected, the controller unit 22 detects that the surge 8 has been detected by the communication unit 27 via a separate optical cable 32. Report to the communication unit 15. The separate optical cable 32 is normally opened for reporting physical quantities related to an accident such as surge 8.

Then, the control unit 13 of the master station 4, the instruction to stop collecting data to all the slave stations a ₁ ~a _n including slave station a _1, communicates via an optical cable 32 of the further core. In this embodiment, since the optical cable 32 is used, data in the same time zone can be immediately collected at each slave station. For example, when the communication unit 27 of the slave station a ₁ receives a received telegram indicating stop of collection from the control unit 13 of the master station 4 via the optical cable 32, it immediately transmits this to the controller unit 22. The controller unit 22 interprets the received message and stops the sampling of the sensing unit 24 and the constant update of data in the storage unit 26. By this operation, the sensing waveform 97 when the surge 8 is detected is held in the storage unit 26 together with the time information.

After update stopping of data, the control unit 13 of the master station 4 collects data of all slave station a ₁ ~a _n. For example, the slave station a ₁ receives the collection instruction sent from the communication unit 15 via the separate optical cable 32 by the communication unit 27 and interprets it by the controller unit 22. The controller unit 22 transmits the sensing waveform 97 of the storage unit 26 stored at the time of stoppage together with time information to the master station 4 and the communication unit 27 to the communication unit 15 of the master station via the separate core 32 of the optical cable 3.

The master station 4 corrects the sensing waveform 97 received from the slave station a ₁ by the arithmetic unit 17 with the delay time of the slave station a ₁ stored in the storage unit 16, and stores it as a corrected sensing waveform 98 in the storage unit 16. To remember. Similarly, in the slave stations other than the slave station a ₁ , the sensing waveform is transmitted, corrected by the delay time of each slave station, and the corrected sensing waveform is stored in the storage unit 16. With this delay time correction, time synchronization is achieved in the master station and each slave station.

When the man interface unit 14 instructs the display of the surge at the time of the accident of the slave station a ₁ and the slave station a ₂ , the control unit 13 displays both waveforms after delay time correction stored in the storage unit 16. 18 is displayed. This display example is shown as a display example 99 in FIG. In addition, since the propagation time of the signal between the slave station a ₁ and the slave station a ₂ is known, from the time of the rising point of the corrected sensing waveform of the slave station a ₁ and the slave station a ₂ , It can be oriented. In addition, since the above-mentioned CDR technology that makes the clock signal and the data signal reach simultaneously by embedding the data signal in the clock signal and transmitting and receiving the clock signal and the data signal is an existing technology, Description is omitted.
