Identification algorithm for power quality disturbance of inspection robot in converter station during operation

As power quality disturbances become increasingly complex, it is imperative that the speed and accuracy of the inspection robot at the converter station be improved. For this purpose, this study designs a power quality disturbance feature extraction method based on the fast‐adaptive S‐transform. This method preserves the main feature information and eliminates redundant calculations on the basis of adaptive transform. On this basis, a power quality disturbance identification model built on a multi label lightweight gradient elevator is constructed. In the experimental results, compared to the generalized S‐transform, adaptive S‐transform, and S‐transform, the total extraction time of the proposed method was reduced by 96.09%, 91.56%, and 91.22%, respectively. The average accuracy of extracting features for a single disturbance was 99.56%, while for complex disturbance, it was 98.24%, both of which outperformed the comparison algorithms. It is verified that the proposed method can improve the extraction accuracy of power quality disturbance signal. In the recognition of a single disturbance signal, the constructed model exhibited a high accuracy of over 99%. In recognizing composite disturbance signals, the model demonstrated high accuracy and strong stability. Its effectiveness has been confirmed through experiments. The paper aims to enhance the speed and accuracy of power quality disturbance recognition algorithms. This will assist inspection robots working in converter stations, and ensure stable and safe operation of the power grid.
