Method and device for positioning single-phase ground fault section of power distribution network based on transient signal prony algorithm

The application provides a positioning method and a positioning device for a single-phase ground fault section of a power distribution network based on a transient signal prony algorithm. The positioning method comprises the following steps in sequence: accurately capturing zero-sequence current transient signals of the zero-sequence current in one cycle before exceeding the starting value and in four cycles after exceeding the starting value through terminals in different positions on a circuit; extracting the transient high-frequency component signal which plays a lead role in the fault transient signals through the prony algorithm; and analyzing the section of the fault point according to the transient high-frequency component signals. The positioning device comprises terminals and a master station, wherein the terminals are arranged on overhead line poles and towers or cable ring main units; the input ends of the terminals are used for receiving phase current signals from the CT (Computed Tomography) secondary sides of power distribution lines (including overhead lines and cables) and combining the phase current signals into the zero-sequence current signals; the input ends of the terminals are connected with the master station in an optical fiber communication way or a mobile communication way; the master station is built in a transformer substation or a control center and comprises an optical fiber communication module and a mobile communication module; and the master station is used for receiving the signals transmitted by the terminals. The method and device provided by the application are mature in technology and high in reliability.
