[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of transformer partial discharge detection, and in particular to a power transformer partial discharge detection method based on ultrasonic positioning. Background Art

[0002] As a key device in the power system, the operating status of power transformers directly affects the safety and stability of the power grid. Partial discharge is one of the common faults of transformers. If it is not discovered and handled in time, it may cause damage to the transformer or even cause more serious power accidents. Ultrasonic positioning technology has been widely used in transformer partial discharge detection due to its non-contact and high sensitivity.

When setting the initial ultrasonic sensor group, the configuration of the sensor is optimized according to the first detection level of the historical partial discharge location. For areas with high detection levels, the density of sensors is increased or sensors with higher sensitivity are used to ensure that the discharge phenomenon in these areas can be monitored in a timely and accurate manner. The determination of the first detection level is based on the actual historical discharge data, which more accurately reflects the actual situation of the discharge phenomenon inside the transformer, and helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of detection.

At the same time, the detection priority is set according to the frequency of discharge. Combining the first detection level and the second detection level, a comprehensive assessment of all discharge locations inside the transformer can be achieved, and monitoring priorities for different areas can be set based on the assessment results. The importance and risk level of each location can be determined more accurately, and the initial ultrasonic sensor group is set based on the final target detection level, which can ensure that sensor resources are reasonably allocated, high-risk areas are monitored in key areas, and unnecessary sensor redundancy is reduced.

The adjustment based on the test results can further optimize the layout of the sensor inside the transformer to ensure that each potential discharge point can be effectively covered, while reducing unnecessary sensor redundancy. The power transformer is detected by using the adjusted ultrasonic sensor group, and the partial discharge position can be located in real time and accurately, providing an important basis for subsequent fault analysis and processing.

[0112] Specifically, the real-time example similarity of the present invention can be calculated by cosine similarity;

[0113] The similarity threshold is 90%.

[0114] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the similarity is less than the similarity threshold, the simulation reception effect is poor.

[0115] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention simulates the partial discharge signal when the power transformer is not in operation, and tests the performance of the ultrasonic sensor group separately without being interfered by the complex electromagnetic environment and other noise sources in actual operation, which helps to accurately evaluate the response capability and sensitivity of the sensor to the discharge signal.

[0129] Step S320 , determining the actual discharge position based on the time difference when the ultrasonic sensor at the three known positions receives the discharge signal.

[0130] Specifically, the step of identifying the actual discharge signal according to the analysis result in the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0131] Compare the actual ultrasonic signal with the preset discharge signal for similarity;

[0132] When the similarity result is greater than the preset similarity, it is determined to be an actual discharge signal.

[0134] Specifically, the step of determining the actual discharge position by adjusting the time difference of the ultrasonic sensor receiving the discharge signal based on three known positions includes:

[0135] Calculating respectively the actual time difference corresponding to the adjustment of the ultrasonic sensors when the discharge signal reaches three known positions;

[0136] According to any actual time difference and the corresponding known position, the position coordinates of the actual discharge point are calculated using a triangulation positioning algorithm.

[0137] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention assumes that partial discharge detection is performed inside a power transformer. Three ultrasonic sensors A, B, and C are installed at different positions of the transformer, and their coordinates are A (0, 0, 0), B (3, 0, 0), and C (1.5, 2.6, 0) (unit: meter). The propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in transformer oil is assumed to be 1500 meters per second.

[0138] Time difference record:

[0139] The time when sensor A receives the discharge signal is t1.

[0140] The time when sensor B receives the discharge signal is t2, and the time difference with A is Δt_AB=t2-t1.

[0141] The time when sensor C receives the discharge signal is t3, the time difference with A is Δt_AC=t3-t1, and the time difference with B is Δt_BC=t3-t2 (but Δt_AB and Δt_AC are usually used for calculation).

[0142] Distance difference calculation:

[0143] d_AB=1500×Δt_AB

[0144] d_AC=1500×Δt_AC

[0145] Triangulation:

[0146] With A as the origin and B and C as two known points, the hyperbola positioning method is used (because the distance differences d_AB and d_AC determine two hyperbolas with A, B and A, C as foci respectively).

[0147] Solving the intersection of these two hyperbolas gives us the position coordinates (x, y, z) of the discharge point.

[0153] The rationality of the setting of the adjustment ultrasonic sensor group is determined based on the comparison result. If it is unreasonable, the adjustment ultrasonic sensor group is adjusted according to the partial discharge position distribution map.

[0154] Specifically, the step of determining the rationality of adjusting the settings of the ultrasonic sensor group based on the comparison result in the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0155] Determining a first density in the partial discharge position distribution map and a second density of the adjustment ultrasonic sensor group;

[0156] When the difference between the first density and the second density is greater than a preset difference, it is determined to be unreasonable.

[0157] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention adjusts the ultrasonic sensor group based on the partial discharge position distribution map, including: adjusting the ultrasonic sensor group so that the difference between the first density and the second density is less than or equal to the preset difference. The adjustment strategy includes but is not limited to increasing or decreasing the number of sensors, changing the sensor position or rearranging the sensor group to optimize the detection effect. In this way, it can be ensured that the layout of the ultrasonic sensor corresponds more accurately to the actual situation of partial discharge of the power transformer, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of detection.
