Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of porcelain insulator zero value detection, and in particular to a porcelain insulator zero value detection device and a detection method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Electricity plays the role of the energy lifeline in modern industrial production and social development. The power transmission network, centered around ultra-high / ultra-high voltage transmission lines, leverages its technological advantages of low loss, large capacity, and long-distance transmission to undertake important functions such as cross-regional energy allocation and clean energy consumption. In this complex system, porcelain insulator strings, the core insulating components connecting conductors to towers, must withstand long-term mechanical tensions of up to hundreds of tons, kilovolt-level electromagnetic field stress, and complex environmental erosion such as lightning strikes, industrial pollution, salt spray corrosion, and extreme temperature and humidity cycles. Zero-value defects (insulation resistance approaching zero) caused by performance degradation can lead to major accidents such as flashover tripping, string breakage, and tower collapse.

[0003] Currently, researchers have proposed a variety of methods for detecting zero-value defects in insulators. These include manual observation, ultrasonic testing, ultraviolet imaging, leakage current measurement, and Doppler detection. Manual observation, while simple and intuitive, relies on on-site inspection by inspectors. However, this method requires significant manpower and material resources, is subject to geographical limitations, and can produce significant discrepancies in results depending on the observation angle. Ultrasonic testing uses ultrasonic waves with frequencies greater than 20 kHz to inspect insulators, but its application range is short, limiting its use to experimental testing at insulator manufacturers and preventing it from being used for on-line defect detection. Ultraviolet imaging uses ultraviolet light from insulators to detect and image them, but it has drawbacks such as requiring nighttime testing and data acquisition during partial discharge. Leakage current measurement uses the insulator's electrical characteristics to determine if an insulator is faulty, but the data required is easily affected by the insulator's shape, number of insulators, and weather, leading to unstable test results. Doppler detection uses the Doppler effect in physics to detect insulator defects, but is difficult to operate, expensive, unsuitable for large-scale online testing, and difficult to implement when obstructed by obstacles. These methods all have drawbacks, necessitating the development of more effective and convenient technologies for accurately detecting zero-value defects in insulators.

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing methods, the present invention proposes a porcelain insulator zero value detection method based on high-frequency components, which can realize rapid and reliable detection of whether the insulator is zero value, making up for the shortcomings of the above methods.

[0144]

[0145] Where HF Ratio Indicates the high-frequency energy ratio, E n>21 Represents the sum of high-frequency energy, E total Represents the total energy of the node.

[0146] In this optional embodiment, determining the zero-value insulator and the normal insulator based on the comparison result of the high-frequency energy ratio and the preset high-frequency energy ratio threshold to implement the zero-value detection of the porcelain insulator includes:

[0147] When the high-frequency energy ratio is greater than 50%, the porcelain insulator is judged as a zero-value insulator;

[0148] When the high-frequency energy ratio is less than 10%, the porcelain insulator is judged as a normal insulator.

[0149] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the above technical solutions of the present invention are further explained from the perspective of architecture and principle as follows:

[0150] Currently, in actual operation, there is a lack of effective detection methods to accurately determine whether porcelain insulators are at zero value. The loss of strings and lines caused by zero-value insulators in China can seriously affect the safe operation of power systems. Therefore, it is necessary to explore more reliable and rapid methods for detecting the zero value of porcelain insulators.

[0151] The present invention proposes a porcelain insulator zero-value detection method based on high-frequency components. The method uses a pulse transformer to increase the voltage generated by the short-circuit of a capacitor with an original voltage of 200V to 40kV and then rectifies it through a diode to generate a high voltage of 50-60kV on the insulator. The characteristics of the high-frequency component of the current on the insulator are obtained to determine whether the insulator is zero-valued.

[0152] The present invention proposes a porcelain insulator zero-value detection method based on high-frequency components. The method aims to quickly and intuitively detect and judge zero-value insulators from the perspective of the insulator's electrical characteristics, thereby providing a criterion for the replacement of porcelain insulators and preventing string and line drop accidents of zero-value insulators.

[0153] After sufficient experiments, it was found that after applying a 50-60kV impulse voltage to the insulator, there was a significant difference in the voltage change process between the normal insulator and the insulator with internal defects. The typical change process is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0154] Under the same impulse voltage, zero-value insulators will be repeatedly broken down during the pressurization process due to internal crack defects. This process is accompanied by a rapid drop in voltage, and a high-frequency current with a peak value of up to 1800mA will be generated on the insulator. This can be used as a criterion to distinguish normal insulators from insulators with internal defects, and quickly realize the zero-value detection of insulators.

[0155] For normal insulators, under the same impulse voltage, there are no crack defects inside the insulator. During the pressurization process, the voltage rises to the maximum value at a rate of 1.0kV / s-1.3kV / s and is further maintained for more than 100ms. Due to the large capacitance of the insulator itself (50-110pF), the peak value of the charging current is only +130mA, and it rises smoothly and gradually decays.

[0156] In addition to being simple to implement, this method has another great advantage in that it is less affected by the contamination of the insulator surface. Even if the equivalent salt density on the insulator surface reaches 0.25 mg / cm 2 , the insulation resistance under dry conditions is less than 100k ohms. If the internal insulation of the insulator is intact and has no defects, the rise time of the charging current will still be between 1.0kV / s-1.3kV / s, and will not lead to an increase in its high-frequency discharge component. Therefore, compared with other insulator zero detection methods, this method is less affected by the environment and is not prone to misjudgment.

[0157] The present invention proposes two specific implementation methods, which can be selected according to equipment conditions and accuracy requirements during specific operations.

[0158] Method 1 (rapid detection, can be used with portable rapid zero detection equipment):

[0159] Typical zero-value insulator voltage and current waveforms are as follows: Figure 6 , the typical normal insulator voltage and current waveform is as follows Figure 7 , it can be seen that the high-frequency component in the current signal of the zero-value insulator is very obvious compared with that of the normal insulator (as shown in Table 1).

[0160] Table 1 Time domain characteristics of insulators under impulse voltage

[0161]

[0162] In order to judge whether the insulator has high frequency components under impulse voltage, the circuit design of the device of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 shown. Figure 1 This is the overall circuit connection diagram after the insulator under test is connected to the impulse voltage generator and the measurement module (to the right of T2).

[0163] To improve detection accuracy, the measurement module housing designed in this invention uses a double-layer structure, with high-conductivity aluminum as the outer layer material and high-magnetic permeability Permalloy as the inner layer material to shield external electromagnetic interference. It is connected to the insulator through a transformer with a transformation ratio of 1 to achieve isolation and prevent high-voltage crosstalk. Figure 1 VD1 is a variable capacitor, whose capacitance is controlled by varying the DC voltage Vc. To meet the 0-500kHz frequency measurement range, VD2 is connected in parallel. Switch S2 is closed when a higher capacitance is required. In the actual circuit, the capacitance of C2 is much larger than that of VD1. The equivalent capacitance of the variable capacitor and C2 is determined by Vc and S2. The variable capacitor, along with the fixed capacitor C2 and inductor L1, forms a voltage-controlled high-pass filter. Controlling Vc and S2 allows current components in different frequency bands to be filtered. The maximum voltage on capacitor C0 is measured to determine the magnitude of the insulator current signal at different frequencies.

[0164] The advantage of this circuit is that it has a simple structure. It can generate the impulse voltage required for zero detection and measure the current components in different frequency bands to realize the zero value detection of insulators.

[0165] The specific detection method of the above device is as follows:

[0166] The first step is to connect the circuit and connect the porcelain insulator to be tested to the output port circuit of the impulse voltage generator.

[0167] The second step is to turn on the DC power supply to charge the capacitor.

[0168] The third step is to increase the capacitor voltage to 200V and close Figure 1 The middle switch S1 turns off the DC power supply. At this time, the capacitor is connected to the pulse transformer T1, generating an impact high voltage of about 60kV on the secondary side of the transformer.

[0169] In the fourth step, the impulse high-voltage signal acts on the porcelain insulator after being rectified by the diode, and the current signal on the porcelain insulator is obtained by the measurement module.

[0170] The fifth step is to determine whether the insulator is a zero-value insulator by analyzing the high-frequency signal in the current signal.

[0171] Method 2 (simple circuit, reliable results, targeted at early defective insulators / partially degraded insulators):

[0172] In addition to judging the insulator zero value from the amplitude characteristics after filtering, it can also be judged directly from the spectrum characteristics of the discharge current of the insulator to be tested. As shown in Table 2, the discharge current of the defective insulator has obvious high-frequency components, and the spectrum has prominent components in the range of tens to hundreds of kHz. The main frequency of the normal insulator is generally smooth, such as Figure 8 shown.

[0182] (3) Using wavelet packet decomposition, set the decomposition layer j = 7, and decompose the signal into 2 j frequency bands, each with a bandwidth of 4.6875kHz. The frequency range corresponding to the nth node in the jth layer of wavelet packet decomposition is n=0 represents a frequency range of 0-4.6875 kHz, and n=107 represents a frequency range of about 500 kHz. n=21 (frequency range of about 100 kHz) is taken as the boundary between low frequency and high frequency.

[0183] (4) Using Daubechies 4th order (db4) wavelet as the wavelet basis function, the wavelet packet decomposition coefficient is:

[0184]

[0185] Where C j,n (k) represents the intensity of the discrete sampling signal x[m] in a specific frequency band and a specific position, x norm [m] represents the normalized signal amplitude, N represents the number of sampling points, ψ j,n,k [m] represents the wavelet packet function, which is directly determined by db4, and k represents the translation parameter, which represents the position of the discrete signal x[m] on the time axis (k is ), j represents the number of decomposition layers.

[0186] Its specific time coordinates are:

[0187]

[0188] Where, t k represents time, that is, the position of the signal on the time axis; k represents the translation parameter, and its value is F s represents the sampling frequency; j represents the number of decomposition layers.

[0189] (5) The node energy corresponding to the nth node is:

[0190]

[0191] The total energy is:

[0192]

[0193] Where E(n) represents the node energy of the nth node, N represents the number of sampling points, k represents the translation parameter, j represents the number of decomposition layers, and C j,n (k) represents the intensity of the discrete sampling signal x[m] in a specific frequency band and a specific position, E total Represents the total energy of the node.
