Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of transformer safe operation technology, and more specifically relates to an online identification method for the operating conditions of grounding transformers based on equivalent resistance. Background Technology

[0002] Medium-voltage systems primarily employ an ungrounded neutral point operation mode. However, with the increasingly widespread use of cable lines, the capacitive current to ground increases during single-phase ground faults, preventing the grounding arc from self-extinguishing and easily leading to overvoltage that endangers system operational safety. This operating mode no longer meets the requirements for safe and stable operation of power systems. To address these issues, a ZNyn11 type grounding transformer is connected to the low-voltage busbar of the main transformer, forming a neutral point and then connected to an arc suppression coil or grounding resistor. Simultaneously, it serves as a station service transformer, providing power to substation internal lighting, measurement, relay protection, and other equipment.

[0003] Therefore, the operating conditions of grounding transformers can be divided into two types: low-voltage side load operation only and low-voltage side load plus arc suppression coil operation. The winding connection method is complex, and the change law of electrical parameters when a short circuit fault occurs under different operating conditions is different.

[0004] Currently, there is no dedicated method for detecting the operating status of grounding transformers. The existing methods mainly rely on offline detection methods for ordinary distribution transformers, which suffer from drawbacks such as long maintenance times and large measurement errors. Grounding transformers are equipped with protection systems including instantaneous overcurrent protection and overcurrent protection. However, during normal system operation, the operating current on the high-voltage side of the grounding transformer is much lower than the rated current. Even if a short-circuit fault occurs in the winding, the protection setting is difficult to reach in the early stages of the fault, rendering the protection ineffective. Therefore, researching online detection methods for the operating status of grounding transformers under different operating conditions is of great significance, and the ability to accurately determine its operating condition in real time is a prerequisite for such research.

[0005] Existing technologies can determine whether a single-phase ground fault has occurred in a system by detecting the presence of zero-sequence current. However, after compensation by the inductive current of the arc suppression coil, the zero-sequence current is small and the sensitivity is low. At the same time, it is easily affected by the three-phase imbalance of the system. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome the existing defects and propose an online identification method for the operating conditions of grounding transformers based on equivalent resistance. This method can accurately determine the operating conditions of grounding transformers in real time, laying the foundation for the research of online detection methods for the operating status of grounding transformers under different operating conditions.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An online identification method for the operating conditions of a grounding transformer based on equivalent resistance, which acquires the high-voltage and low-voltage side voltage and current signals of the grounding transformer through a voltage and current monitoring system, includes the following steps:

[0009] Step a: Obtain the voltage values ​​u on the high and low voltage sides of the grounding transformer through a voltage and current monitoring system. A (t), u B (t), u C (t), u a (t), u b (t), u c (t) and the current values ​​i on the high and low voltage sides A (t), i B (t), i C (t), i a (t), i b (t), i c (t);

[0010] Step b: Calculate the effective values ​​of voltage and current on the high and low voltage sides of the grounding transformer, as well as the power factor angle of each phase, using the voltage and current monitoring system.

[0011] Step c: Calculate the equivalent resistance value of each phase using the voltage and current monitoring system;

[0012] Step d: Determine if the equivalent resistance of phase A of the grounding transformer is <0; if the equivalent resistance of phase A is <0, proceed to step e; if the equivalent resistance of phase A is >0, proceed to step f.

[0013] Step e: A single-phase ground fault occurs in phase A of the system; proceed to step k.

[0014] Step f: Determine if the equivalent resistance of phase B of the grounding transformer is <0; if the equivalent resistance of phase B is <0, proceed to step g; if the equivalent resistance of phase B is >0, proceed to step h.

[0015] Step g: A single-phase ground fault occurs in phase B of the system; proceed to step k.

[0016] Step h: Determine if the equivalent resistance of phase C of the grounding transformer is <0; if the equivalent resistance of phase C is <0, proceed to step i; if the equivalent resistance of phase C is >0, proceed to step j.

[0017] Step i: A single-phase ground fault occurs in phase C of the system; proceed to step k.

[0018] Step j: The grounding transformer operates with only the low-voltage side load;

[0019] In step k, the low-voltage load of the grounding transformer and the arc suppression coil are put into operation simultaneously.

[0020] Furthermore, the obtained electrical parameters are substituted into formula (1) to calculate the equivalent resistance of each phase:

[0021]

[0022] Among them, U G U d These are the high and low side voltages, I. G I d These are the high-voltage and low-voltage side currents, respectively. P1 and P2 are the power factor angles of a certain high-voltage and low-voltage side, respectively, and P0 is the no-load loss.

[0023] Furthermore, when a single-phase ground fault occurs in phase A, the equivalent resistance of phase A calculated by formula (1) will be negative. However, when the system is running normally, the input power is greater than the output power, and the equivalent resistance is positive. If the equivalent resistance is less than 0, a single-phase ground fault occurs in the system, and the low-voltage side load and the arc suppression coil of the grounding transformer are put into operation. If the equivalent resistance is greater than 0, the grounding transformer only operates with the low-voltage side load.

[0024] Furthermore, the voltage and current monitoring system includes a high-voltage side voltage transformer, a low-voltage side voltage transformer, a high-voltage side current transformer, a low-voltage side current transformer, a signal acquisition unit, a logic calculation unit, a communication unit, and a human-machine interface. The low-voltage side voltage transformer is installed at the low-voltage outgoing terminal. The high-voltage side current transformer and the low-voltage side current transformer are respectively installed at the high-voltage side incoming terminal and the low-voltage side outgoing terminal of the grounding transformer. The output terminals of the high-voltage side voltage transformer, the low-voltage side voltage transformer, the high-voltage side current transformer, and the low-voltage side current transformer are all connected to the input terminal of the signal acquisition unit. The output terminal of the signal acquisition unit is connected to the input terminal of the logic calculation unit. The output terminal of the logic calculation unit is connected to the human-machine interface through the communication unit.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0026] This invention presents an online identification method for the operating conditions of grounding transformers based on equivalent resistance. It is highly sensitive, unaffected by the unbalanced operation of the three-phase system, and can accurately determine the operating conditions of the grounding transformer in real time, as well as identify the grounded phase. This lays the foundation for research on the detection technology of the operating status of grounding transformers under different operating conditions. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] This invention discloses an online identification method for the operating conditions of a grounding transformer based on equivalent resistance. The method acquires the high-voltage and low-voltage side voltage and current signals of the grounding transformer through a voltage and current monitoring system, and includes the following steps:

[0033] Step a: Obtain the voltage values ​​u on the high and low voltage sides of the grounding transformer through a voltage and current monitoring system. A (t), u B (t), u C (t), u a (t), u b (t), u c (t) and the current values ​​i on the high and low voltage sides A (t), i B (t), i C (t), i a (t), i b (t), i c (t);

[0034] Step b: Calculate the effective values ​​of voltage and current on the high and low voltage sides of the grounding transformer, as well as the power factor angle of each phase, using the voltage and current monitoring system.

[0035] Step c: Calculate the equivalent resistance value of each phase using the voltage and current monitoring system;

[0036] Step d: Determine if the equivalent resistance of phase A of the grounding transformer is <0; if the equivalent resistance of phase A is <0, proceed to step e; if the equivalent resistance of phase A is >0, proceed to step f.

[0037] Step e: A single-phase ground fault occurs in phase A of the system; proceed to step k.

[0038] Step f: Determine if the equivalent resistance of phase B of the grounding transformer is <0; if the equivalent resistance of phase B is <0, proceed to step g; if the equivalent resistance of phase B is >0, proceed to step h.

[0039] Step g: A single-phase ground fault occurs in phase B of the system; proceed to step k.

[0040] Step h: Determine if the equivalent resistance of phase C of the grounding transformer is <0; if the equivalent resistance of phase C is <0, proceed to step i; if the equivalent resistance of phase C is >0, proceed to step j.

[0041] Step i: A single-phase ground fault occurs in phase C of the system; proceed to step k.

[0042] Step j: The grounding transformer operates with only the low-voltage side load;

[0043] In step k, the low-voltage load of the grounding transformer and the arc suppression coil are put into operation simultaneously.

[0044] Substitute the obtained electrical parameters into formula (1) to calculate the equivalent resistance of each phase:

[0045]

[0046] Among them, U G U d These are the high and low side voltages, I. G I d These are the high-voltage and low-voltage side currents, respectively. P1 and P2 are the power factor angles of a certain high-voltage and low-voltage side, respectively, and P0 is the no-load loss.

[0047] Since the voltage of phase a on the low-voltage side of the grounding transformer is generated by the induction of phase A main winding and phase B shift winding, if phase A of the system is grounded, the voltage is close to 0, the input power of this phase decreases, while the voltage and current of phase B shift winding both increase, increasing the input power to meet the power demand of the low-voltage phase a load. Therefore, when phase A is grounded, the equivalent resistance of phase A calculated by formula (1) will be negative. When the system is running normally, the input power is greater than the output power, and the equivalent resistance is positive. If the equivalent resistance is less than 0, a single-phase grounding fault occurs in the system, and both the low-voltage side load and the arc suppression coil of the grounding transformer are put into operation. If the equivalent resistance is greater than 0, the grounding transformer only operates with the low-voltage side load.

[0048] The voltage and current monitoring system includes a high-voltage side voltage transformer, a low-voltage side voltage transformer, a high-voltage side current transformer, a low-voltage side current transformer, a signal acquisition unit, a logic calculation unit, a communication unit, and a human-machine interface. The high-voltage side voltage transformer of the grounding transformer adopts a bus voltage transformer, which does not require reinstallation. The low-voltage side voltage transformer is installed at the low-voltage outgoing terminal. The high-voltage side current transformer and the low-voltage side current transformer are installed at the high-voltage side incoming terminal and the low-voltage side outgoing terminal of the grounding transformer, respectively. The output terminals of the high-voltage side voltage transformer, the low-voltage side voltage transformer, the high-voltage side current transformer, and the low-voltage side current transformer are all connected to the input terminal of the signal acquisition unit. The output terminal of the signal acquisition unit is connected to the input terminal of the logic calculation unit. The output terminal of the logic calculation unit is connected to the human-machine interface through the communication unit.

[0049] This invention presents an online identification method for the operating conditions of grounding transformers based on equivalent resistance. It is highly sensitive, unaffected by the unbalanced operation of the three-phase system, and can accurately determine the operating conditions of the grounding transformer in real time, as well as identify the grounded phase. This lays the foundation for research on the detection technology of the operating status of grounding transformers under different operating conditions.

[0059] The logic calculation unit simultaneously calculates the power factor angle of each phase on both the high and low voltage sides of the grounding transformer. This is based on the voltage u of phase A of the grounding transformer. A (t), current i A Taking (t) as an example, the calculation process is as follows:

[0072] Step 1004: Determine whether the equivalent resistance of phase A of the grounding transformer is <0;

[0073] The logic calculation unit determines whether the equivalent resistance of phase A of the grounding transformer is <0; if the equivalent resistance of phase A is <0, proceed to step 1005; if the equivalent resistance of phase A is >0, proceed to step 1006.

[0080] Step 1008: Determine whether the equivalent resistance of phase C of the grounding transformer is <0;

[0081] The logic calculation unit determines whether the equivalent resistance of phase C of the grounding transformer is <0; if the equivalent resistance of phase C is <0, execute step 1009; if the equivalent resistance of phase C is >0, execute step 1010.

[0082] Step 1009: A single-phase ground fault occurs in phase C of the system;

[0083] The logic calculation unit determines that a single-phase ground fault has occurred in phase C of the system and executes step 1011.

[0084] Step 1010: The grounding transformer operates with only the low-voltage side load;
