Description

Technical Field

[0002] In power transmission systems with voltage levels of 220 kV and above, in high-voltage overhead transmission lines, the ground wire (lightning protection wire) is not only used for lightning protection but also frequently used for communication, shielding, and reducing line impedance. Overhead ground wires form a closed loop with the earth and towers over long periods. During long-term operation, wear occurs at the ground wire clamps on the towers, increasing contact resistance. When a few hundred amperes of induced current pass through, severe heating occurs at the ground wire clamps, causing some steel strands to melt and the remaining strands to lose yield strength and break under ground wire stress, resulting in ground wire detachment. Changes in the shape of the ground wire directly lead to changes in its impedance, which not only affects short-circuit current shunting and overvoltage levels but also directly relates to the assessment of grounding grid security and communication interference.

[0003] However, traditional ground impedance measurement methods rely on manually applying a current source and voltmeter after a power outage to perform offline four-terminal measurements. This method has drawbacks such as long power outage time, high operational risks, and difficulty in eliminating parasitic parameters in the test circuit, resulting in low measurement accuracy.

The voltage detection circuit is connected between the measuring transformer and the microcontroller. The current detection circuit is connected between the output terminal of the full-bridge circuit and the microcontroller.

[0026] The microcontroller drives the full-bridge circuit to operate and outputs a sinusoidal current signal. After the sinusoidal current signal flows through the measuring transformer, the secondary coil of the measuring transformer outputs a sinusoidal voltage signal to the line segment under test. At the same time, the current detection circuit collects the primary current of the measuring transformer, and the voltage detection circuit collects the induced voltage of the line segment under test. The microcontroller calculates the impedance value of the line segment under test by analyzing the primary current and the induced voltage.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 The measurement circuit in this embodiment further includes a resonant capacitor and a compensation inductor. The resonant capacitor, the primary winding of the measurement transformer, and the primary winding of the compensation inductor are connected in series between the first and second output terminals of the full-bridge circuit. The secondary winding of the compensation inductor is connected to the voltage detection circuit. The resonant capacitor and the primary winding form a resonant circuit, which converts the square wave signal output by the full-bridge circuit into the sinusoidal current signal.

[0028] The voltage detection circuit includes a voltage conditioning circuit, and the measuring transformer further includes a sensing coil. The sensing coil is mutually inducted with the primary and secondary coils of the measuring transformer. A first end of the sensing coil is connected to the voltage conditioning circuit, and a second end is connected to the first end of the secondary coil of the compensating inductor. The second end of the secondary coil of the compensating inductor is connected to the voltage conditioning circuit. The sensing coil and the secondary coil of the compensating inductor generate an induced voltage and send it to the voltage conditioning circuit. The voltage conditioning circuit amplifies, filters, and converts the induced voltage, and then outputs the processed signal to the microcontroller.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the input terminal of the full-bridge circuit is connected to the power supply to obtain the operating voltage V. in The microcontroller output is connected to the driver circuit, which outputs four drive signals S1, S2, S3 and S4. These four drive signals are then output to the control terminals of the four switching transistors of the full-bridge circuit. The drive signals drive the switching transistors to turn on and off, so that the full-bridge circuit outputs a square wave signal that meets the requirements.

The two ends of the secondary coil L2 of the measuring transformer are used as nodes A and B of the external load. Nodes A and B are respectively connected to the test segment of the high-voltage overhead ground wire. The sensing coil L of the measuring transformer T1 is used for... s and the secondary coil L of the compensating inductor T2 r After being connected in series, they are connected to the voltage conditioning circuit, and the input of the current conditioning circuit is connected to the output of the full-bridge circuit.

[0031] In this embodiment, the full-bridge circuit outputs a 1kHz square wave, which, after passing through the L1 and C1 resonant circuit, outputs a sinusoidal current. The measured currents on the primary and secondary sides of the transformer are I1 (primary current) and I2 (secondary current), respectively. The sensing coil L... s The voltage across the terminals is V 1s The secondary coil L of the compensating inductor T2 r The voltage across the terminals is V 1c The induced voltage received by the voltage conditioning circuit is V1 = V 1s +V 1c .

[0032] In this embodiment, when calculating the impedance value of the line segment to be tested, it is also necessary to obtain the first mutual inductance value between the primary and secondary coils of the measuring transformer, and the second mutual inductance value between the secondary coil of the measuring transformer and the sensing coil; then, the impedance value is calculated based on the first mutual inductance value, the second mutual inductance value, the primary current, and the induced voltage.

[0033] Specifically, the primary winding L1 of the transformer and the sensing coil L are measured. s The mutual inductance is M 1s The mutual inductance between the primary and secondary sides of the compensating inductor T2 is M. r ,satisfy:

[0034] Given that the mutual inductance between the primary coil L1 and the secondary coil L2 is M 12 Secondary coil L2 and sensing coil L s The mutual inductance is M 2s Sensing coil L s With compensation inductor L r The output voltage after series connection is V1, which is used to measure the circuit resistance.

[0035] In this embodiment, when measuring voltage, the entire bridge circuit is turned off, and the voltage between contacts A and B is obtained by measuring the voltage V1.

[0036] The formula for calculating the impedance value is:

[0037] Where Z is the impedance value of the line segment to be measured; M 12 It is the first mutual inductance value; M 2s I1 is the second mutual inductance value; V1 is the primary current measurement; ω is the angular frequency of the primary current measurement.

[0038] In addition, the current detection circuit of this application includes a current conditioning circuit, wherein the current conditioning circuit is connected between the microcontroller and the primary winding of the measuring transformer, and is used to amplify, filter, and convert the received primary current measurement signal, and output the processed signal to the microcontroller. The measuring circuit also includes a driving circuit, wherein the driving circuit is connected between the output terminal of the microcontroller and the control terminal of the full-bridge circuit; the driving circuit is used to output a driving signal under the control of the microcontroller to drive the switching of the full-bridge circuit.

[0039] In summary, the overhead ground wire impedance measurement circuit for power transmission lines provided in this application achieves the following technical effects in the measurement of high-voltage overhead ground wire impedance: 1. A single excitation completes synchronous current-voltage acquisition. The full-bridge circuit directly outputs a 1 kHz sinusoidal current under the PWM drive of the microcontroller. After being boosted by the measurement transformer, the current is injected into the ground wire. At the same time, the current detection circuit samples the primary side current I1, and the voltage detection circuit samples the induced voltage V2 of the ground wire. The two signals are latched by the microcontroller's clock simultaneously, eliminating the wiring errors and phase drift caused by the traditional "step-by-step measurement". The system error is reduced from ±2% to within ±0.5%.

[0040] 2. The transformer achieves high-voltage isolation and range matching. The measuring transformer converts the low-voltage, high-current on the primary side into a high-voltage, low-current on the secondary side. This avoids directly connecting the high-voltage probe to the ground circuit and keeps the secondary voltage within the measurable range of ordinary operational amplifiers, thus improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The turns ratio accuracy is 0.1%, ensuring traceability of measurement values ​​without the need for additional calibration.

[0041] 3. The microcontroller's closed-loop calculation improves the level of intelligence. The microcontroller calculates the impedance Z=V2 / I in real time based on the synchronously sampled I1 and V2, and automatically performs phase correction, temperature compensation and digital filtering. The results are uploaded to the backend via UART / CAN, realizing on-site calculation without manual calculation, and shortening the test time from minutes to seconds.

[0042] 4. Enhanced on-site adaptability: The entire circuit can be integrated into the pole terminal box, with only two test leads connected to the ground wire; no external high-voltage source or independent voltage transformer is required, reducing the equipment size by 60% and weight by 50%, meeting the needs of live-line work and unattended monitoring.

[0043] In summary, this application, through an integrated design of "sinusoidal excitation - transformer isolation - synchronous sampling - microcontroller calculation", improves the accuracy of overhead ground wire impedance measurement by an order of magnitude while ensuring safe isolation. At the same time, it significantly simplifies the wiring process and on-site operation, making it suitable for the refined operation and maintenance of UHV and long-distance lines.
