Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of high voltage and insulation, and relates to a method and system for electro-thermal-mechanical coupling simulation analysis of transformer bushings based on COMSOL. Background Art
[0002] Transformer bushings are the main insulation devices outside the transformer tank. They need to insulate the lead wire from the ground and at the same time play the role of fixing the lead wire. Therefore, transformer bushings require good electrical strength and sufficient mechanical strength. At the same time, due to the long-term passage of a large load current during the operation of the transformer, the transformer needs to have good thermal stability and be able to withstand instantaneous overheating when a short-circuit current passes through. Transformer bushings play an extremely important role in the power system, and it is necessary to ensure that all parameters are normal under rated working conditions.
[0003] When the transformer bushing is working, it is in a relatively complex state due to the influence of multiple physical fields such as electricity, heat, and mechanics. The presence of current leads to the generation of Joule heat, and at the same time, the electric field and temperature rise will also generate mechanical forces, thermal stresses, etc., which will have a certain impact on the mechanical structure of the transformer bushing.
[0004] For the transformer bushings with complex working conditions, most of the existing studies conduct simulation analysis for a single physical field. Obviously, this kind of simulation for a single physical field cannot reflect the complete working condition information of the transformer bushing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-physical field simulation analysis method for transformer bushings that includes the full process. Summary of the Invention

[0071] An electro-thermal-mechanical coupling simulation analysis method of a transformer bushing based on COMSOL proposed by the present invention specifically includes the following steps:
[0072] Step 1: Define the parameters required for the electro-thermal-mechanical coupling simulation analysis of the transformer bushing.
[0073] Considering a 330 kV transformer bushing, the parameters to be defined include two parts: geometric structure parameters and external variables. Among them, the geometric structure parameters include the height and thickness of the capacitor screens of the transformer bushing, the size and number of umbrellas, etc., and the external variables include the rated voltage, current, temperature of the connecting oil tank of the transformer bushing, etc.
[0074] Step 2: Establish a three-dimensional model of the transformer bushing and import it into COMSOL.
[0075] To improve the simulation efficiency while ensuring the simulation accuracy, simplify the model of the transformer bushing, including: removing some small but complex features of the transformer bushing; simplifying the fillet structures of parts such as flanges and umbrellas into right-angle structures; removing non-essential parts for simulation such as bolts and nuts.

[0077] Step 3: Determine the material properties required for the simulation according to the transformer bushing material respectively.
[0078] According to the structure of the transformer bushing, the materials to be laid in each part are determined as follows: copper laid at the guide rod, transformer oil laid inside the bushing and at the oil tank, oil-paper and aluminum foil laid at the capacitor screen, ceramics laid at the upper and lower porcelain bushings, and steel laid at the flange and grading sphere.
[0079] For the above materials, the material properties to be set in the electro-thermal-mechanical coupling simulation include the relative permittivity, conductivity, etc. required in the electric field analysis, the thermal conductivity, constant-pressure heat capacity, etc. required in the solid heat transfer field analysis, and the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, etc. required in the solid mechanics analysis.
[0080] During the operation of the transformer bushing, due to electromagnetic heat, the temperature of each component will rise, resulting in a change in the resistivity of the material. Here, a linear resistivity model is used to simulate the change of resistivity with temperature. The calculation of the conductivity σ of the material is shown in formula (1):
[0081]
[0082] where ρ0 is the reference resistivity, T ref is the reference temperature, and α is the temperature coefficient of resistance.

[0097] When coupling the current field and the solid heat transfer field, it is necessary to add electromagnetic heat in the multi-physics field module and select the current field and solid heat transfer, which means that the electromagnetic heat generated in the current field is used as a part of the heat source for calculation. The calculation of Joule heat Q e is shown in formula (5):
[0098] Q e = J·E (5)
[0099] For the transformer bushing, the equation that the solid mechanics field needs to meet is shown in formula (6):

[0101] Among them, S is the stress tensor, F v is the body force per unit volume.
[0102] During the simulation process of the solid mechanics field, it is necessary to add fixed constraints as boundary conditions on the solid contact surface of the transformer bushing.
[0103] In the coupled analysis of the physical fields related to stress, it mainly includes electromagnetic stress and thermal stress.
[0104] When considering the influence of the electrostatic field on the structure of the transformer bushing and analyzing the action of electromagnetic stress, add mechanical force in the multi-physics field module and select the electrostatic field and the solid mechanics field.

[0110] Step 5: Set the grid accuracy to divide the three-dimensional model grid and set the solver parameters to accelerate the simulation convergence.
[0111] Step 6: Perform the electro-thermal-mechanical coupling finite element simulation calculation of the transformer bushing.
[0112] Step 7: Post-process the results of the simulation calculation.
[0113] For the results of the completed calculation, the required post-processing process includes plotting the distribution of the electric potential, electric field, temperature, and stress of the transformer bushing in the multi-physics field coupling environment, as Figure 3 shown.
