Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of monitoring and analysis technology, and in particular to a method for predicting the electrical strength of oil-paper insulation of a converter transformer under different service times and temperatures. Background Art
[0002] As a key component of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems, converter transformers are responsible for converting electrical energy between AC and DC grids. With increasing power demand and longer transmission distances, HVDC technology has become a crucial transmission method in modern power systems. During operation, converter transformers face not only traditional AC stresses but also high-frequency, complex harmonic voltages, and high temperatures. These operating environments place higher demands on the transformer's oil-paper insulation material, whose performance is directly related to the converter transformer's operational safety and reliability.
[0003] In the related art, oil-paper insulation is one of the widely used insulation materials in converter transformers. Its good electrical properties and mechanical strength enable it to provide stable insulation under high voltage conditions. However, long-term high temperatures and frequent voltage fluctuations can cause the oil-paper insulation material to age, resulting in a gradual decrease in its electrical strength and an increased risk of equipment failure. The breakdown strength of oil-paper insulation is affected by many factors, especially temperature and aging time. Rising temperature accelerates the thermal degradation of the insulation material, while long-term electrical stress gradually weakens its insulation capacity. Therefore, understanding the breakdown performance of oil-paper insulation under different aging states and temperatures is of great significance for evaluating the reliability of converter transformers, predicting equipment failures, and optimizing equipment maintenance strategies.
