Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of irregular flight management in air transport, and more particularly to a method and system for measuring the strain of transformer windings under multiple short-circuit impacts. Background Technology
[0002] Short-circuit faults are the main cause of transformer winding deformation and account for a high proportion of all fault accidents. Therefore, short-circuit withstand capability is one of the important indicators of a transformer. When short-circuit current and leakage magnetic field work together, a huge short-circuit electromagnetic force is generated. When the winding is subjected to this electromagnetic force, it may deform, bulge, or experience other problems, leading to winding loosening, decreased insulation performance, and a reduction in the overall short-circuit withstand capability of the transformer.
[0003] Current measurement methods can determine whether winding deformation occurs under short-circuit conditions, but they also have some drawbacks. For example, the transverse and longitudinal leakage reactance of the short-circuit impedance method are easily affected by environmental factors, impacting measurement accuracy. The connection method of the low-voltage pulse method measurement circuit and cables can affect the distribution of stray coupling capacitance in the test circuit, thus affecting experimental accuracy. Therefore, a reasonable and universally applicable method for measuring transformer winding deformation is urgently needed, possessing significant theoretical and engineering value.

[0048] This invention discloses a system for measuring the strain of a transformer winding under multiple short-circuit impacts, comprising:
[0049] The data acquisition module is used to acquire the center wavelength change and temperature change value of each fiber optic grating sensor by arranging several fiber optic grating sensors on the transformer winding and subjecting the transformer winding to multiple short-circuit impacts.
[0050] The data processing module is used to generate transformer winding strain based on the change in center wavelength and temperature change, according to the optical-mechanical conversion equation.
[0051] The result verification module is used to obtain the theoretical electromagnetic force and theoretical strain by constructing a magnetic-circuit-force equivalent model for simulating transformer windings. By calculating the error between the transformer winding strain and the theoretical strain, the accuracy of the transformer winding strain measurement is verified.
[0052] This invention provides a method for measuring the strain of a transformer winding under multiple short-circuit impacts, comprising the following steps:
[0053] Step 1: Install fiber optic grating sensors on the transformer windings, respectively wound at 1 / 4 and 1 / 2 of the distance from the top of the winding. Each fiber is paired with 4 sets of grating sensors, arranged at the same height of the winding, 90° apart.
[0054] Step 2: Record the center wavelength value acquired by the fiber Bragg grating sensor in real time;
[0055] Step 3: Calculate the change in center wavelength and temperature of each grating, and calculate the measured strain according to the optical-mechanical conversion equation;
[0056] Step 4: Establish a full-scale transformer magnetic-circuit-force simulation model using Comsol software and mesh it.
[0057] Step 5: Set up simulation conditions according to the actual working conditions of the short-circuit test, obtain the theoretical electromagnetic force and theoretical strain through simulation, calculate the error between the measured strain and the theoretical strain, and verify the accuracy of the measurement method.
[0058] Step 1: During the transformer winding process, FBG (fiber optic strain gauge) and fiber optic temperature sensor need to be installed in advance. Considering that the axial deformation of the winding coil often follows an M-shape and the deformation position is random, optical fibers are installed at 1 / 4 and 1 / 2 of the distance from the top of the winding, respectively. The four grates of each optical fiber are evenly distributed around the winding at 90° intervals. Figure 1 As shown.
[0059] Step 2: Record the values measured by the fiber optic strain sensor and the temperature sensor.
[0060] Step 3: Measure the center wavelength change using an FBG (fiber Bragg grating), calculate the center wavelength change and temperature change for each grating, and calculate the measured strain using the optical-mechanical conversion equation, as shown in the following equation:
[0061]
[0062] When the winding state changes, the alterations in the grating's photoelastic properties and pitch size will cause a change in the wavelength of the grating's center reflection. Similarly, changes in temperature will lead to changes in the fiber's thermo-optical properties and thermal expansion characteristics, resulting in a final wavelength that is the superposition of these two factors. Simultaneously, the data measured by the fiber optic grating temperature sensor is used for temperature compensation through an equation. Substituting the measured data into the above equation yields the actual strain magnitude.
[0063] Step 4: Using COMSOL simulation software, establish a magnetic-circuit-force equivalent model of the transformer based on its actual structural parameters. Set the materials and parameters for each part, and configure its circuit modules according to the short-circuit impulse test wiring diagram. Refine the mesh of the model to ensure calculation accuracy. Figure 2 As shown.
[0064] Step 5: Establish an equivalent model of the transformer using COMSOL software based on the actual parameters of the transformer. Based on the established model and the basic theory of electromagnetic fields, conduct a theoretical analysis of the leakage magnetic field to obtain the distribution law of the transformer leakage flux. Calculate the magnitude of the radial electromagnetic force of the winding.
[0065] In a magnetic field, the following governing equations and boundary conditions exist based on the vector magnetic potential A:
[0066]
[0067] Control domain perimeter:
[0068] n×A=0
[0069] The vector magnetic potential A can be obtained by using the vector Poisson equation.
[0070]
[0071] The relationship between the axial leakage flux density and the vector magnetic potential of the winding is as follows:
[0072]
[0073] The radial electromagnetic force on the transformer winding is calculated using the Lorentz force formula. Within each finite element element, the radial electromagnetic force is:
[0074] F ρ =JB z S ε 2πL ε
[0075] Therefore, the radial electromagnetic force of the transformer winding is:
[0076] F = ∑F ρ
[0077] Among them, B z T is the axial component of the leakage flux density; J is the current density (A / m). 2 ); J s The table shows the source current density (A / m). 2 μ is the magnetic permeability (H / m); γ is the electrical conductivity (S / m); denoted as scalar potential (V); r is the position vector; S ε L represents the area of a single finite element; εThe distance between the centroid of the finite element and the centerline of the iron core. Vector differential operator.
[0078] Based on the current magnitude and leakage flux at different times, the radial electromagnetic force at different times and locations is calculated sequentially.
[0079] Step 6: In this experiment, the theoretical radial stress of the conductor is obtained through the radial stress equation, and the theoretical radial strain at the corresponding conductor position is calculated through the strain equation.
[0080] The relationship between radial stress and radial electromagnetic force is shown in the following equation:
[0081]
[0082] Where σ is the radial stress of the conductor; F is the radial electromagnetic force at the sensor measuring point; and S is the cross-sectional area of the conductor, S = 1.272 * 10⁻⁶. -5 m 2 W represents the number of turns in the low-voltage winding, W = 107. The theoretical radial stress at the sensor measuring point can be calculated using the values at the sensor measuring point and the above equation.
[0083] Within a certain elastic limit, stress and strain obey Hooke's law, and the relationship between radial stress and theoretical radial strain is shown in the following equation:
[0084]
[0085] Where, ε 理论 σ is the theoretical radial strain; σ is the radial stress of the conductor; E is the elastic modulus of the copper conductor, with a value of 115000 MPa.
[0086] A comparative analysis of theoretical and actual strain revealed an error within 5%, verifying the accuracy of the experimental results. This allows for the assessment of the transformer winding condition. The results demonstrate the precision of the FBG sensor measurement, indicating that this method can be used to measure transformer winding deformation, which has significant practical engineering value.
