Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable monitoring technology, specifically a cable insulation monitoring method and device based on power quality monitoring data. Background Technology

[0002] Insulation monitoring and early warning of cables are important safety issues for power equipment. The slow, gradual and insidious nature of cable insulation aging has always been a challenge for power safety.

[0003] Currently, there are three main research methods for cable insulation aging, as follows:

[0004] 1. Partial Discharge Online Monitoring Method: The signals generated during partial discharge mainly include various electrical and non-electrical signals. Electrical signals include electromagnetic waves and pulse currents; non-electrical signals include sound, light, and heat. Partial discharge measurement techniques for measuring electromagnetic wave signals include the ultra-high frequency sensor method, which has strong anti-interference capabilities but rapid signal attenuation. Partial discharge measurement techniques for measuring pulse current signals include the high-frequency current sensor method, capacitor-coupled sensor method, and metal-coupled sensor method. These methods are widely used, highly sensitive, and can measure the charge quantity of partial discharge, but are highly susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Therefore, partial discharge signals in the insulation of operating cables in the field are weak, subject to strong electromagnetic interference, and affected by factors such as sensor sensitivity and signal attenuation, making partial discharge signals difficult to extract and identify. Furthermore, the partial discharge method is relatively expensive.

[0005] 2. Sheath Current Monitoring Method: Before a cable insulation failure, an increase in sheath current often occurs. Therefore, online monitoring of the sheath current of high-voltage cables can reflect the cable's insulation status to a certain extent. Furthermore, a significant increase in sheath current can also cause cable temperature rise, increasing additional losses in the sheath, reducing the cable's current carrying capacity, and potentially even causing thermal breakdown. Currently, online sheath current monitoring technology still faces the following challenges: Firstly, for cross-connected cables, distinguishing between leakage current and sheath circulating current from the grounding current during online monitoring is a key and difficult research area.

[0006] 3. Temperature monitoring method: During normal operation of high-voltage cross-linked cables, the conductor temperature should not exceed 90℃. Monitoring the cable temperature can reflect some faults or defects in the cable. Furthermore, by monitoring the cable's operating temperature, the actual current-carrying capacity of the cable can be determined, ensuring safe operation within the current-carrying capacity range. However, temperature monitoring also has limitations. Traditional temperature measurement methods using thermocouples only monitor the temperature of critical parts of the cable, reflecting only the local temperature situation during operation and failing to reflect the overall situation. Distributed fiber optic temperature measurement requires the temperature-sensing fiber to be pre-laid on the outside of the power cable, between the sheath and the main insulation layer. It is not suitable for cables already in operation without temperature-sensing fiber optics, and this technology is significantly affected by different cable laying environments and operating conditions, such as humidity and temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention provides a cable insulation monitoring method and device based on power quality monitoring data, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and can effectively solve the problems of high cost and inability to achieve real-time insulation monitoring for various types of cables in existing cable insulation monitoring methods.

[0025] The second monitoring and execution unit uses the amplitude and phase of the high-voltage side harmonic voltage corresponding to each end to calculate the equivalent impedance of the monitored cable.

[0026] The anomaly detection unit compares the equivalent impedance of the monitored cable with an impedance threshold. If the equivalent impedance is less than the impedance threshold, the insulation condition of the monitored cable is abnormal.

[0027] The third technical solution of the present invention is achieved through the following measures: a storage medium storing a computer program that can be read by a computer, the computer program being configured to execute a cable insulation monitoring method based on power quality monitoring data during runtime.

[0028] The fourth technical solution of the present invention is achieved through the following measures: an electronic device, including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a computer program, which is loaded and executed by the processor to implement a cable insulation monitoring method based on power quality monitoring data.

[0029] This invention is low in cost and has low environmental requirements. It obtains the amplitude and phase of the high-voltage side harmonic voltage corresponding to each end of the monitored cable by measuring the voltage value at each end, and calculates the equivalent impedance of the monitored cable. Based on the equivalent impedance, it determines whether the insulation status of the monitored cable is abnormal, thereby enabling real-time insulation monitoring. It has low requirements for the monitoring environment and can adapt to cable insulation monitoring in various environments.

[0043] Example 2: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, this embodiment of the invention discloses a cable insulation monitoring method based on power quality monitoring data, including:

[0044] Step S201: Using the voltage value at each end of the monitored cable, obtain the amplitude and phase of the high-voltage side harmonic voltage corresponding to each end, including:

[0045] Step S2011: Use two high-voltage transformers to convert the voltage value at each end of the monitored cable into the corresponding secondary voltage.

[0046] Here, the high-voltage sides of two high-voltage transformers are connected to both ends of the monitored cable, respectively. The voltage value of each end of the monitored cable is collected and converted into a secondary voltage, which is then output from the low-voltage side to other equipment. The high-voltage transformers here are commonly used devices, so the application cost of this embodiment is low.

[0047] Step S2012: Obtain the amplitude and phase of the harmonic voltage output from the secondary side of the two high-voltage transformers using the secondary voltage;

[0048] In this embodiment, the voltage amplitude and phase of each harmonic can be output through the Fourier calculation function via the power quality monitoring terminal.

[0049] Step S2013: The harmonic voltage amplitude and phase output from the secondary side of the two high-voltage transformers are restored to the high-voltage side harmonic voltage amplitude and phase corresponding to each end of the cable to be monitored.

[0050] In this embodiment, a suitable voltage and current ratio can be set in the power quality monitoring terminal to restore the harmonic voltage amplitude and phase output from the secondary side of the high-voltage transformer to the harmonic voltage amplitude and phase corresponding to the high-voltage side at the cable end (here, the harmonic voltage amplitude and phase corresponding to the high-voltage side at the cable end are the same as the wth harmonic voltage amplitude and phase corresponding to the high-voltage side at the cable end).

[0051] Step S202: Using the amplitude and phase of the high-voltage side harmonic voltage corresponding to each end, calculate the equivalent impedance of the monitored cable, including:

[0052] Step S2021: Input the amplitude and phase of the high-voltage side harmonic voltage corresponding to each end of the monitored cable into the cable impedance model to obtain the capacitance value of the monitored cable.

When the equivalent impedance Zp of the monitored cable is greater than 0.5MΩ, the insulation condition of the cable is normal; when the equivalent impedance Zp of the monitored cable is less than 0.5MΩ, the insulation condition of the cable is abnormal.
