Abstract With the high proportion of new energy and power electronic equipment access in the construction of new power systems, the dynamic volatility of the grid signal is stronger, which poses a serious challenge to accurate metering. To address this problem, this paper starts with the analysis of the electric energy metering algorithm principle. Firstly, the measurement characteristics of the Moving average algorithm and the Non-overlapping algorithm are compared. Secondly, on the basis of studying the steady-state signal metrology power metering error of the two algorithms when there is an active power threshold, the metrology ability of the two algorithms to dynamic signal is further analyzed. The conclusion is drawn that the threshold will cause the metrology power metering error of the moving average algorithm. The non-overlapping algorithm has a certain probability of power metering error. Finally, by designing different input signals, the moving average and non-overlapping algorithms are tested, respectively, to verify the effectiveness of the analysis.

With the maturity of the smart meter embedded system integration mode, the power consumption information can be fed back to the management center by the intelligent terminal through the power Internet of Things. The smart terminal adopts the narrowband data communication mode. However, the narrowband channel interval is hindered by interference signals, resulting in serious data packet loss. Therefore, a stable and efficient acquisition scheme is needed to ensure its smooth interaction. Based on the application of smart meter data communication, we analyze the power consumption optimization and carrier transmission optimization of the power Internet of Things and propose a data analysis method based on self-learning and external characteristics, which is used to calculate the offline execution strategy of smart meters when they encounter factors such as power outage or intrusion.

When dealing with high-dimensional original data, the data network is graded to reduce the work of feature selection and the difficulty of training. Moreover, we improve the autonomous execution ability of an embedded terminal device in an offline state. We also strengthen the ability of abnormal data detection and judgment learning to meet the requirements of efficient and stable operation of the power grid. Simulation results verify that compared with the current mainstream schemes, the performance of the proposed scheme is improved by more than 17%.

Abstract Recent studies have shown that the power and current of high-power dynamic loads exhibit dynamic behaviors that cause large errors in electrical energy meters. Aimed at fast variations and large fluctuations in dynamic electric signals, this study examines a characteristic extraction method for small-time granularity and the impact of these characteristics on electrical energy meters. First, we constructed quasi-steady and dynamic model parameters for the dual-modal modulation models of current and power signals. Second, based on the two sets of signals sampled from the electrified railway traction substation and steelmaking arc furnace substation, we extracted quasi-steady and dynamic signal model parameters from fundamental active power signals. Third, we proposed three novel characteristic parameters by mapping the model parameter method, and extracted the four important characteristics. Finally, we designed a set of on-off-keying test signal experiments to determine the impact of the proposed characteristic parameters on the electric energy meter. The experimental results show that the electrical energy meter errors are sensitive to the proposed characteristic parameters, wherein the maximum impulse coefficient is the most sensitive characteristic of the EEM, which causes an error as large as −81.28%. The proposed characteristic parameters can be used as the input characteristic information of dynamic test signals for type testing and updating the test standards for electrical energy meters.

On-line error monitoring of capacitive voltage transformer based on substation topology and distribution analysis

Abstract The capacitor voltage transformer (CVT) is widely used in power systems with high voltage levels. The operation state of CVT is related to the accuracy of electric energy metering. Because the internal structure of CVT is complex and vulnerable to the external environment, the error may be out of tolerance in the actual operation process. The error is composed of system error and random error. The change of error is mainly the change of system error. In general, random errors satisfy specific distributions and will not change easily. In this paper, the voltage amplitude and phase effective value output by the CVT acquisition device at the same voltage level are used to compare the amplitude effective value of the in-phase output to obtain the ratio characteristic quantity K, and the phase effective value is subtracted to obtain the difference characteristic quantity θK . K and θK contain the information of two CVT ratio differences and angle differences. The probability density distribution obeyed by K and θK during the normal operation of CVT is taken as the reference probability density distribution and compared with the probability density distribution to be measured during online monitoring. If the probability density distribution changes significantly, it shows that the ratio difference and angle difference have exceeded the difference under the premise of this paper. Finally, the contribution method is used to locate the out-of-tolerance CVT. In this paper, the online monitoring method is verified by simulation data. The test results show that the ±0.1% range ratio difference and the ±5′ range angle difference can be identified, and the online monitoring of the 0.1-stage CVT error is realized.
