Design scheme of remote monitoring system for distribution transformer based on GPRS wireless communication network

1 Introduction

The distribution transformer is the basis for contacting the power grid and users, and its operating status is directly related to whether the users can reliably use electrical energy, so it is necessary to perform data collection and real-time monitoring on it. At present, there are mainly two methods of data acquisition and communication for distribution transformers in China: wired and wireless. Wired communication methods include telephone lines, power line carriers, and optical fibers. They have shortcomings such as communication being susceptible to interference and low reliability, which is difficult to popularize. However, the radio station communication method requires higher costs due to the need for master station construction. With the rapid development of wireless communication technology and communication network, especially the maturity of GPRS technology based on GSM digital mobile communication system, it provides a new communication method for distribution transformer monitoring system.

This paper presents a design scheme of remote monitoring system for distribution transformer based on GPRS network, which solves the problem of remote transmission of distribution transformer parameters and realizes the functions of real-time data collection and real-time load monitoring. And based on the ARM controller, an advanced distribution transformer monitor is designed to provide real-time data for professional analysis of the power sector (such as load forecasting, line loss analysis, fault judgment, power quality, etc.), thereby improving the operation of the distribution network The economy and safety.

2. GPRS communication technology

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a mobile packet service developed on the basis of the existing GSM digital mobile communication system. It uses packet switching technology to provide end-to-end, wide area wireless IP connection Compared with the GSM circuit-switched data transmission method, GPRS is particularly suitable for intermittent, sudden or frequent, small amounts of data transmission, and is also suitable for occasional large data transmission. Its main technical features are:

(1) High transmission rate. GPRS uses 4 different encoding methods: CS-l ~ CS-4, each user can use up to 8 time slots at the same time, the highest theoretical speed is l71.2kbps transmission rate.

(2) Real-time online. Even if there is no data to be transmitted, it remains connected to the network and is in the "always online" state.

(3) The core network layer of GPRS adopts IP technology to provide seamless connection with the existing data network.

(4) Low cost. In terms of network construction, it is only necessary to follow the existing GSM network for development. Since the data is sent and received in packets, the system usually charges by flow rate, users can always be online, and the service cost is low.

(5) The coverage of the network is very wide.

The use of GPRS is very extensive, including sending and receiving e-mails through mobile phones, browsing data on the Internet, etc. Applying GPRS to the distribution transformer monitoring system can not only meet the real-time requirements of data transmission of the distribution transformer monitoring system, but also save costs and be flexible and convenient to implement.

3. System structure

The system consists of monitoring terminal, GPRS communication network and monitoring center station, as shown in Figure 1. The transformer monitoring terminal is installed at the transformer site, collects the electrical parameters and some switching values ​​of the secondary terminal of the transformer, and periodically uploads the collected information to the monitoring central station located in the substation through a GPRS modem. When the three-phase power parameter of the transformer becomes abnormal, it is immediately uploaded to the central station Alarm information; at the same time, when the central station sends control commands to the monitoring terminal, the monitoring terminal receives commands through the GPRS modem and can control some switching values ​​of the transformer. The GPRS network is the communication bridge between the monitoring terminal and the central station. The collected information and alarm information of the monitoring terminal are uploaded. The central station control commands are issued through the GPRS network for wireless communication. The GPRS network and the Internet network are seamlessly connected. The central station accesses the Internet through the ADSL dedicated line to enter the GPRS network. On the one hand, it communicates with the monitoring terminal in two directions. On the other hand, it provides a visual interface to let users understand the remote transformer without leaving the house. 'S health status. When an alarm message appears in the transformer, the central station can promptly inform and notify the nearest duty officer to eliminate the fault, greatly shorten the troubleshooting time, and improve the reliability and safety of the distribution network operation.
