Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil-immersed shunt reactor technology, and in particular to a test apparatus and method for simulating vibration of defects in oil-immersed shunt reactors. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Oil-immersed shunt reactors are one of the most important reactive power compensation devices in ultra-high voltage long-distance power transmission and transformation systems, enabling functions such as long-line capacitance compensation and reduction of active power losses. However, to increase compensation capacity, oil-immersed shunt reactors often employ a multi-air-gap structure composed of multiple stacked iron core plates. The air gaps created by the segmented iron core columns result in strong air gap leakage magnetic fields between different iron core plates. Coupled with the hysteresis and expansion effects of the silicon steel sheets in the iron core, the shunt reactor experiences significant vibration even under normal operating conditions. Compared to electrical equipment such as transformers, its vibration and noise problems are more severe, making it extremely difficult to diagnose reactor defects by detecting vibration signals. On the other hand, due to the diversity of reactor mechanical structures and fault modes, there is relatively little experience in applying vibration signal analysis, as well as its derived noise and abnormal temperature analysis, to reactor defect detection, and the theoretical framework is also incomplete. This necessitates conducting extensive experiments and collecting and analyzing data through simulation testing platforms.

[0004] Furthermore, the unique multi-air-gap structure of oil-immersed shunt reactors results in leakage flux that is significantly greater than that of power transformers of the same voltage level. This leakage flux, passing through the metal components, generates current and a large amount of heat, easily leading to localized overheating and increasing stray losses. Therefore, thermal issues become particularly prominent in large-capacity reactors. The large amount of heat generated by high capacity and high voltage, if not dissipated promptly, will cause rapid insulation aging, resulting in the production of gases such as H2 and CH4. The severe vibrations of oil-immersed shunt reactors can also easily cause loosening of internal bolt-nut connections and detachment of the shielding balls. Loose nuts and detached shielding balls form suspended bodies inside the reactor tank, which are prone to levitation discharge under the extremely high electric field intensity inside the reactor. These issues are difficult to analyze in large quantities on-site and require data collection through laboratory simulations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes an oil-immersed parallel reactor defect vibration simulation test device and method, which can simulate defects such as reactor vibration, overheating, and floating discharge gas generation, and accumulate a large amount of defect diagnosis test data by monitoring electrical, chemical and other characteristic quantities.
