Research on Transmission Line Voltage Measurement Method Based on Improved Gaussian Integral

Abstract

Currently, there are two non-contact measurement methods of the transmission line voltage based on field sensor: one is calculation with the inverse problem of electric field for the solution, and the other is to solve by the numerical integration algorithm. In general, the first one is confronted with data equation solving problems and difficulties in accurate calibration as well as low precision, while the second one is troubled by the complexity of algorithm equation and unsatisfactory integration node. In view of the above problems, this paper improves on the basis of the Gaussian integral algorithm to seek better nodes, in order to reduce the difficulty of solving and improve the measurement accuracy of the integral algorithm. First, starting from the Gaussian integral algorithm and making research to improve the Gaussian integral algorithm theory. Then, the finite element simulation of three-phase transmission line through Maxwell software is built, and the space electric field distribution data is acquired to calculate an integral node as well as its corresponding weights. Finally, the three-phase transmission line voltage measurement test platform with D-dot sensor voltage measurement system is built to test verification. The text results show that the voltage measurement method based on the improved Gaussian Integral has characteristics of a simple solution, better integral node, and higher precision, and all the measured voltage errors are less than 0.45%.
