Leakage Current De-Disturbance Method for Distribution Network Type Surge Arrester Based on EEMD-SVD and Low-Rank RBF Neural Network

Abstract

Leakage current is one of the important parameters reflecting the operation status of distribution network-type surge arresters. At this stage, the polymagnetic current sensor has the advantages of miniaturization and high accuracy for leakage current measurement, but the complexity of electromagnetic interference in the field easily introduces more noise interference signals, which limits the performance of the polymagnetic current sensor for field application. To this end, this paper proposes a leakage current measurement method for distribution network-type surge arresters based on EEMD-SVD and low-rank RBF neural network methods. Firstly, the measured leakage current is decomposed by Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) to decompose the modal components containing eigenfrequencies, and then Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is used to extract the non-eigenfrequency signals. Finally, a low-rank Radical Basis Function (RBF) neural network is used to approximate the leakage current signal after de-interference and combined with the Gaussian window function to remove the white noise interference. The experimental results show that the signal-to-noise ratio of the polymagnetic current sensor is improved by about 20dB and the maximum average absolute error is only 2.62%, which can truly reflect the leakage current of the network-type lightning arrester.
