Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of generator stator coil materials, and particularly relates to a method and system for evaluating the aging resistance of a generator stator coil in a high-altitude environment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Large high-voltage generator stator coils have high voltage resistance, low dielectric loss, good anti-corona performance, high strength, high rigidity, vibration resistance, and high thermal conductivity. They are installed in large high-voltage generator stators and play a key role in generating induced electromotive force and transmitting electric energy during power generation. The generator stator coil is a multi-layer composite structure. From the inside out, there is first a semiconductor layer on the surface of the conductor, which improves the electric field distribution on the surface of the conductor, reduces the local electric field strength, and prevents corona initiation. Then there is a main insulation layer, usually made of high-performance insulation materials such as mica tape, which is wound and cured in multiple layers, has good electrical insulation performance, mechanical properties, and heat resistance, and can withstand high voltage during generator operation. Then there is an insulation shielding layer, which is mainly used to uniform the electric field on the surface of the main insulation and avoid electric field concentration, further improving the reliability of the insulation.

[0003] In recent years, generator stator coils have been increasingly applied in high-altitude areas. When generator stator coils work in high-altitude areas, they face severe working conditions with the following characteristics:

[0004] Difficult heat dissipation due to thin air: In high-altitude areas, air density is low, and the thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of the gas are small, which greatly weakens the effect of heat dissipation through air convection of the stator coil. This can cause the heat generated by the stator coil during operation to be difficult to dissipate, easily leading to high temperature, accelerating the aging of the insulation material, reducing its insulation performance and mechanical strength, and affecting the normal operation and service life of the generator;

[0005] Increased insulation performance requirements: As the altitude increases, air pressure decreases, and the insulation strength of the gas decreases. When the stator coil operates in high-altitude areas, it is more likely to cause corona discharge and partial discharge under the same voltage, which puts higher requirements on the insulation performance of the insulation material. At the same time, the thin air also reduces the flashover voltage on the surface of the insulation material, increasing the risk of insulation breakdown;

[0006] Changes in electrical performance: In high-altitude areas, the air is thin, and the electric field distribution changes, causing changes in the electrical parameters of the stator coil, such as capacitance and inductance. This may affect the output characteristics and stability of the generator, making the operation control of the generator more complex;

[0007] Mechanical stress increases: the temperature in high altitude areas is low, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. The stator coil and its fixed parts will produce a large mechanical stress due to thermal expansion and contraction. In addition, the air is thin, resulting in a decrease in wind resistance, and the efficiency of the generator cooling fan may change, causing problems such as vibration, which puts higher requirements on the mechanical fixing structure of the stator coil to prevent the coil from being worn or loosened due to vibration.

[0008] In summary, it is of great significance to judge the pros and cons of the aging resistance performance of the generator stator coil in high altitude areas. However, the systematic study of the aging of the generator stator coil in high altitude areas is still insufficient. Therefore, there is still a lack of a standard and accurate evaluation method for the aging resistance performance of the generator stator coil. In practical applications, the aging behavior of the generator stator coil insulation during service in high altitude environments often occurs slowly, lasting for several years or even decades. Therefore, the existing evaluation method for aging resistance performance often adopts accelerated testing, even so, the cycle of accelerated testing is as long as several months or even longer, and the accuracy is poor, which seriously affects the development of high-performance generator stator coils. SUMMARY

[0009] To solve the above problems, the present application analyzes the aging mechanism of the generator stator coil during service in high altitude areas, and finds that the factors affecting the aging resistance performance of the generator stator coil in high altitude areas not only include its own thermal conductivity and dielectric properties, but also are directly related to the internal microstructure of the stator coil (such as the specific surface area of the internal structure, the internal defect porosity, etc.).

[0017] Preferably, the type of volatile organic compounds is one or a combination of the following substances: N -methoxy methylamine, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzene, carbon monoxide.

[0018] Preferably, the liquid absorption performance of the test stator coil is tested according to the following method: the test stator coil is immersed in the liquid at 25 DEG C and 1 atm, and repeatedly taken out, surface dried, weighed, and immersed until the weight no longer changes with the immersion time, which is considered to be saturated absorption; the percentage of the absorbed liquid to the weight of the stator coil itself is calculated w absorb , and the time required for saturated absorption t absorb .

[0019] Preferably, the liquid is selected from one of the following reagents: ethylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether, N-methyl pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, white oil, and silicone oil.

[0020] Preferably, the thermal conductivity is tested by the hot-wire method, the heat source method, the transient plane heat source method, the temperature wave analysis method, the laser flash method, the guarded hot plate method, the guarded hot flow meter method, or the heat flow meter method (for specific implementation methods, refer to the national standard GB / T 42919.1-2023 "Determination of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of plastics - Part 1: General principles").

[0021] Preferably, the specific surface area of the solid substance is tested by the gas adsorption BET method (for specific implementation methods, refer to the national standard GB / T 19587-2017 "Determination of specific surface area of solid substances by gas adsorption BET method").
