Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrical engineering, more particularly, to an electrical signal diagnosis method and system for mechanical tripping failure of an on-load tap changer mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] An on-load tap changer (OLTC) is a key component for voltage regulation of a power transformer, which functions to change the turns ratio of the transformer winding without interrupting the load current, thereby maintaining the stability of the system voltage. With the continuous expansion of the power grid and the increasing capacity of renewable energy connected to the grid, the requirements for power supply reliability and power quality are continuously improving. The action reliability and operating state of the OLTC, as a regulating hub, are directly related to the stability and safety of the entire power system. However, as a complex mechanism combining mechanical power and electrical operation, the OLTC has a high failure rate among all components of the transformer. In particular, the core energy storage mechanism of the fast mechanism may experience mechanical tripping failure due to spring fatigue, lubrication failure, wear and tear of parts, or jamming, etc. during long-term service. Such failures often result in the inability of the contact action mechanism to reset, causing the tap selector to act under voltage during the next switching, and even causing inter-stage short circuits, which not only cause damage to the OLTC itself, but also may trigger internal short circuits of the transformer, insulation oil cracking, and other chain failures, seriously threatening the safe operation of the transformer. Currently, research and detection of OLTC failures are mostly focused on traditional electrical tests and offline diagnosis, which are difficult to truly reflect the electromagnetic transient behavior and failure evolution mechanism during dynamic switching. Due to the fast action speed of the OLTC, the process involves multiple couplings of mechanical-electrical-magnetic circuits, and the number of fault samples is small, making it extremely difficult to obtain fault data based on actual measurements. Therefore, reproducing the failure process through modeling and simulation has become an important research path. Electromagnetic transient simulation tools such as PSCAD / EMTDC provide a good platform for studying the OLTC switching process, which can accurately simulate the interaction process of power electronics, nonlinear elements, and complex control logic.

[0003] However, most existing OLTC models are focused on simulating normal switching processes, and modeling of electrical response characteristics under mechanical failure has not been systematically developed. In addition, whether overvoltage is generated between stages of the OLTC under fault conditions, and whether the energy absorption capacity of the arrester is sufficient, etc. also need to be evaluated in advance through simulation.

The electrical manifestations of mechanical tripping faults are analyzed, and a circuit physical model including fault states is constructed. A time-controlled signal module and a tap selector model are integrated to establish electromagnetic transient models under normal and fault conditions. Transient characteristics such as voltage, current, power, and energy of the vacuum tube, main and auxiliary contacts, and inter-stage surge arresters are obtained through simulation. Finally, by comparing normal and fault simulation data, fault electrical characteristic patterns are extracted to evaluate the surge arrester protection effect and provide a basis for fault diagnosis and protection design. This invention can achieve accurate simulation and characteristic analysis of tap changer tripping faults with different switching topologies.

Tripping faults refer to serious electrical faults such as the rapid tripping of the tap changer mechanism, the energized operation of the tap selector, and the explosion of the inter-stage surge arrester. The simulation model of tap changer tripping faults is designed to simulate the electrical faults that occur in the tap changer under the condition of rapid mechanism tripping and to analyze the electromagnetic transient characteristics of each component under fault conditions.

[0060] Step 102: Define the number of the time control switch, and based on the number of the time control switch, establish the physical mapping relationship between the electrical state and mechanical action of the tap changer;

[0061] Preferably, a time-control switch number is defined, and based on the time-control switch number, a physical mapping relationship between the electrical state and mechanical action of the tap changer is established. Defining the time-control switch number includes:

[0062] The number of the vacuum tube is defined as Vk, wherein the number and coding of the parameter k correspond to the mechanical action link of the tapping switch;

[0063] The number of the main contact is defined as MCp, wherein the number and coding of the parameter p correspond to the mechanical action link of the tapping switch;

[0064] The number of the auxiliary contact is defined as Zl, wherein the number and coding of the parameter l correspond to the mechanical action link of the tapping switch.

[0069] The present application constructs a time control switch model opening control signal module, generates a time sequence signal in combination with the normal switching time sequence of the tapping switch, and further establishes a standard electromagnetic transient model of the tapping switch in combination with the tapping switch switching circuit physical model in step 103.

[0070] The time control signal model of the present application refers to a model established based on a time signal control in PSCAD, EMTP-RV and other electromagnetic transient software.

[0071] The electromagnetic transient model of the tap changer in this invention refers to the electromagnetic transient characteristics of the corresponding voltage, current, etc., of the switching devices such as vacuum tubes in the tap changer during the opening and closing process.

[0072] Step 105: Establish a tap selector model for the tap changer. Based on the electrical fault states of the main contacts and auxiliary contacts, configure the timing sequence of tap selector and contact operation in the tap selector model. Based on the timing sequence of tap selector and contact operation and the electromagnetic transient model of the tap changer, establish an electromagnetic transient model under fault conditions.

[0073] This invention establishes a tap selector model for a tap changer. Based on the different electrical fault states of different contacts in step 103, the timing sequence of tap selector and contact operation is configured. Combined with the electromagnetic transient model of the tap changer in step 104, an electromagnetic transient model under tripping fault is established.

[0074] The tap selector of the present invention is a component of the tap switch that enables tap position selection. The stationary contact of the tap selector is closely connected to the voltage regulating winding of the transformer, and the moving contact is connected to the switching switch. The tap selector model reflects the connection between the switching switch and the transformer winding and the tap position selection.

[0075] The electromagnetic transient model under fault conditions is a model that can simulate the electromagnetic transient characteristics such as voltage and current of components such as switching switches and vacuum tubes when a fault occurs.

[0078] By configuring voltage and current probes, the first fault electromagnetic transient characteristics of the vacuum tube, main contacts, and auxiliary contacts are obtained.

[0079] In step 105 of this invention, an electromagnetic transient model under tripping fault is used to configure voltage and current probes to obtain the electromagnetic transient characteristics of vacuum tube Vk, main contact MCp, and auxiliary contact Zl.

[0080] Step 107: Configure a surge arrester model between tap changer stages to obtain the electromagnetic transient characteristics of the second fault;

[0081] Preferably, an arrester model is configured between tap changer stages to obtain the electromagnetic transient characteristics of the second fault, including:

[0082] By configuring voltage and current probes, the electromagnetic transient characteristics of the second fault are obtained. The electromagnetic transient characteristics of the second fault include interstage voltage, current, power, and energy.

[0084] The arrester model in the PSCAD software of the invention is a metal oxide surge arrester.

[0085] Step 108: Diagnose the mechanical tripping fault of the tap switch mechanism by comparing the standard electromagnetic transient characteristics, the first fault electromagnetic transient characteristics and the second fault electromagnetic transient characteristics.

[0086] The invention compares the simulation results in steps 106 and 107 with the tap switch electromagnetic transient model under normal switching in step 104, obtains the law of electrical signals under tap switch tripping fault, and can be further used to evaluate the protection effect of the arrester under fault conditions, and provides a basis for fault diagnosis and protection design.

[0087] As shown in the invention Figure 5 The electromagnetic transient characteristics of the interstage arrester of the tap switch under a certain tripping fault are shown in the invention, and by comparing the electromagnetic transient characteristics under normal conditions, it can be found that the power far exceeds the limit that the arrester can withstand, in addition to which the port voltage and current and other electromagnetic transient characteristics can be compared.

[0088] The invention provides an electrical signal diagnosis method for mechanical tripping fault of on-load tap changer fast mechanism, which establishes a tripping fault simulation model equivalent to time-controlled switch of vacuum tube, main contact and auxiliary contact in an electromagnetic transient simulation platform based on selected tap changer topology, and establishes electromagnetic transient models under normal and fault conditions; obtains voltage, current, power and energy and other transient characteristics of vacuum tube, main and auxiliary contacts and interstage arrester through simulation; and finally extracts fault electrical characteristic law by comparing normal and fault simulation data, which is used to evaluate the protection effect of the arrester and provide a basis for fault diagnosis and protection design.
