Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an online monitoring method and system for occupational exposure levels of power frequency electric fields in substations, belonging to the technical field of occupational exposure level monitoring of occupational hazard factors. Background Technology
[0002] A substation is a power facility in a power system that transforms voltage, receives and distributes electrical energy, controls the flow of power, and adjusts voltage. It connects power grids of various voltage levels through its transformers. Electrical energy enters the substation via transmission lines, then passes through distribution equipment to the transformer, where it undergoes voltage transformation before being output through distribution equipment of other voltage levels.
[0003] Transformers in substations and overhead lines are major sources of power frequency electric field hazards. Power frequency electric fields are listed in the "Occupational Hazard Factor Catalogue," and according to national laws and regulations such as the Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Law, workplaces that generate or contain occupational hazards must undergo routine monitoring and periodic commissioned testing. Currently, substation operation and maintenance units mainly entrust third-party technical service agencies to conduct manual periodic testing, typically once every three years, with each test lasting about one to two days. Under these circumstances, the timeliness, continuity, dynamism, and sufficiency of the occupational hazard exposure level data obtained from substations are far from meeting the requirements of routine monitoring mandated by laws and regulations.
[0004] Occupational hazard exposure level is a term in the field of occupational health technology, generally referring to the exposure level of workers within an 8-hour workday or 40-hour workweek, depending on the worker's position and work schedule. In the context of substation workplaces, substation operation and maintenance positions are the main exposure positions to power frequency electric fields, and it is generally necessary to calculate the time-weighted average exposure level for this position over an 8-hour workday. The general approach to obtaining the 8-hour time-weighted average exposure level is as follows: first, obtain power frequency electric field monitoring values of different locations and intensities at appropriate times; then, build a data model; and finally, calculate the 8-hour time-weighted average exposure level based on the data model.
[0005] When it comes to substations, the number of inspection points varies greatly depending on the voltage level and equipment layout, ranging from dozens to thousands. In this situation, relying on manual inspection of each point using existing technology is not only extremely labor-intensive, but also suffers from poor representativeness and repeatability due to the constantly changing nature of operating conditions and the inability to accurately reflect the actual conditions. Firstly, from a scientific perspective, not every inspection point in a substation needs to be checked; selection is necessary. Secondly, minimizing the number of monitoring points after selection is crucial. Thirdly, once the minimum number of monitoring points is determined, the acquired monitoring data needs to be processed, i.e., a data calculation model needs to be built. The principle of calculating the 8-hour time-weighted average contact level of the power frequency electric field is based on the energy weighting method. While the principle itself is not complex, the challenge lies in using data from a minimum number of monitoring points to reflect the monitoring data from thousands of inspection points. Current literature does not elaborate on this aspect.
[0006] In summary, the proposed method and system for online monitoring of occupational exposure levels in substation power frequency electric fields is essential, advanced, and capable of enabling daily monitoring of substation power frequency electric fields. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an online monitoring method and system for occupational exposure levels in power frequency electric fields of substations, which can achieve the minimum and optimal deployment of monitoring points and the most reasonable and scientific data acquisition and presentation.
[0008] A method for online monitoring of occupational exposure levels in power frequency electric fields of substations includes the following steps:
[0009] Step 1: Based on the substation voltage level and typical design content, deploy online monitoring points in the main transformer area, AIS distribution area, HGIS distribution area, and reactive power compensation area.
[0010] Step 2: Install a monitoring terminal at the substation or its auxiliary facilities. The monitoring terminal records and outputs the maximum measurement value within 30 seconds every 30 seconds. Data is continuously monitored and transmitted to the control host.
[0011] Step 3: Calculate the monitored data according to the method of the present invention to obtain the worker's 8-hour occupational exposure level to power frequency electromagnetic field, in order to monitor and determine whether the worker's occupational exposure level meets the requirements of the national occupational exposure limit.
[0012] Preferably, the calculation of the worker's 8-hour occupational exposure to power frequency electromagnetic fields is as follows:

[0021] Preferably, the method for calculating the level of occupational exposure to power frequency electromagnetic fields during an 8-hour workday can also predict the level by judging the real-time occupational exposure during the 8-hour workday; the specific steps are as follows:
[0022] Calculate the source value L for each of the following areas within a 30-second time period: main transformer area, high-resistance area, power distribution equipment area, and reactive power compensation area. 30s , to obtain L 主变区30s L 高抗区30s L 配电装置区30s L 无功补偿区30s ;
[0023] L 30s =

[0025] According to the obtained L 主变区30s L 高抗区30s L配电装置区30s L 无功补偿区30s Calculate the 8-hour occupational exposure prediction level L 8h预测 ;
[0026] L 8h预测 =
[0027] Where: n 主变区 This represents the number of main transformers; in a three-phase configuration, one phase equals one transformer. 主变区 n represents the number of measuring points on the main transformer. 高抗区 Represents the number of high-resistance units; one phase equals one unit; k 高抗区 n represents the number of high-resistance testing points; 配电区 k represents the number of loops; 配电区 n represents 4 times the number of measurement points in the power distribution area. 无功补偿区 k represents the number of capacitor or reactor groups. 无功补偿区 This represents the number of measuring points in the reactive power compensation zone;
[0028] 8-hour occupational exposure prediction level L 8h预测 If the exposure level is within the occupational exposure limit, it is considered compliant; if it exceeds the occupational exposure limit, it indicates that the exposure level is too high during this period. In such cases, a warning will be issued and targeted control and protection measures will be taken.
[0029] Preferably, the deployment method of the online monitoring points in the main transformer area is as follows:
[0030] The online monitoring points for the 110kV main transformer area include one point on the incoming line side of the transformer body and one point on the outgoing line side of the transformer body.
