Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a transformer overheat fault reverse estimation device and a working method, and belongs to the field of large-scale power transformer online gas chromatography detection transformer overheat fault device. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of the transformer, overheating faults may sometimes occur inside. When overheating faults occur, they are divided into low-temperature, medium-temperature and high-temperature overheating faults according to the degree of heat generated at the overheating fault. Generally, the heating temperature of 150℃-300℃ is called low-temperature overheating fault, 300℃-700℃ is called medium-temperature overheating fault, and over 700℃ is called high-temperature overheating fault. The insulating oil around the fault point is pyrolyzed due to the increase in temperature at the fault point, producing pyrolysis gas. When a low-temperature overheating fault occurs, these gases are mainly: hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, and a small amount of ethylene. As the temperature of the heating fault increases, the insulation oil The pyrolysis trend of unsaturated hydrocarbon components in the oil also increases. When the high temperature fault reaches 700℃ or above, in addition to the increase in pyrolysis of the double-bond unsaturated hydrocarbon ethylene, the triple-bond unsaturated hydrocarbon acetylene components in the insulating oil also begin to release a small amount of pyrolysis. The above gases produced by exothermic pyrolysis: hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, ethylene, and acetylene are collectively referred to as transformer overheating fault characteristic gases, referred to as characteristic gases. Normally operating transformers have low internal temperatures, so the content of characteristic gases is very small. Although the characteristic gases will increase slightly with the increase in the operating period, the increase is very small and has a certain regularity, especially the unsaturated hydrocarbon components are even less. Under the same conditions, the larger the fault heating area, the more the rate and total amount of characteristic gas produced. The higher the heating temperature, in addition to the increase in the characteristic gas production rate, the content of unsaturated hydrocarbon gas components also rises rapidly. In transformer operation, the gas chromatography instrument is used to determine the proportion of each component content of characteristic gas in insulating oil, the gas production rate, and the comparison with historical data to analyze and judge the severity, scope and development trend of overheating fault. The oil samples are taken from different sampling ports to analyze the different concentration differences and roughly judge the location of overheating fault. In traditional operation, the transformer is a steel shell, and its interior cannot be observed. When an overheating fault occurs inside the transformer, its overheating process, overheating phenomenon, overheating area, thermal decomposition of insulating oil around the overheating fault, and the gas production rate of overheating fault gas are all unknown. The fault location, fault development degree, heating area, and gas production rate can only be roughly judged by accumulating chromatographic instrument test data, which often leads to misjudgment or overjudgment. The present invention overcomes the insufficiencies and shortcomings of the traditional large-scale power transformer overheating fault online chromatographic detection, and can be used as practical simulation training for professionals, which is of great significance. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a transformer overheating fault reverse estimation device and a working method.
