Arc Grounding Fault Monitoring and Fire Prediction Method Based on EEMD and Reconstruction

To solve the problem of the single-phase ground fault and occurrence of electrical fires due to the residual current in substation AC power systems, a residual current intelligent sensing technology is proposed based on ensemble empirical modal decomposition (EEMD), sample entropy (SE) reconstruction, and fire warning technology using a beetle antennae search algorithm. First, through the residual current monitoring device to collect residual current information, EEMD and SE reconstruction for arc-earth fault diagnosis and an analysis of the differences in the current characteristics of each line after reconstruction are used to determine the fault line. Second, residual current, temperature, and operating voltage as input parameters and fire probability are the output parameters. The input–output relationship is established by a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) and optimized by the beetle antennae search (BAS) algorithm to speed up the convergence and improve the prediction accuracy to establish a substation fire warning scheme. Through simulation experiments, this paper proposes the residual current as a monitoring object method can effectively diagnose ground faults and accurately predict the probability of fire occurrence to ensure the safe and stable operation of substations
