Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil-immersed transformer technology, and in particular to a method, system, device, and storage medium for predicting hot spot temperature in oil-immersed transformers. Background Technology
[0002] Oil-immersed power transformers are crucial equipment in power grid transmission and transformation systems, and their operational safety and reliability directly impact the safety and stability of the power grid. For transformers, winding hot spot temperature is a vital operational indicator, determining their load capacity and directly affecting the degree of insulation aging. Accurate measurement of winding temperature is of paramount importance for accurately assessing transformer load capacity and service life.
[0003] Due to the high internal electric field, large current, and harsh and complex operating conditions of transformers, the hot spot temperature of transformer windings is difficult to measure directly by installing temperature sensors. Instead, it is mainly assessed and predicted through indirect calculation methods. Among existing methods for assessing transformer winding hot spot temperature, the empirical thermal model in the IEC 60076-7 standard guideline is a commonly used method. This model mainly sums the results of two differential equations, considering both the temperature rise of the hot spot before the oil flow change and the impact of the oil flow change on the hot spot temperature. In actual online monitoring, the above differential equations can be discretized into difference equations for rapid solution, thereby achieving real-time dynamic assessment of the hot spot temperature.
[0004] Calculating winding hot spot temperatures using IEC empirical thermal models requires numerous parameters. While some parameters can be accurately obtained through factory tests and hot-running tests, others, such as winding index, oil index, and thermal constant, are difficult to obtain precisely. Often, only rough estimates can be made by consulting IEC guidelines based on the transformer capacity and cooling type, resulting in discrepancies with the actual transformer values. Therefore, the accuracy of using IEC empirical thermal models to calculate hot spot temperatures in practical applications is limited. Summary of the Invention

[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, 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.
[0061] Please see Figure 1 The first embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for predicting the hot spot temperature of an oil-immersed transformer, comprising steps S10 to S30:
[0062] Step S10: Based on the multi-physics thermal state of the oil-immersed transformer, establish a dynamic simulation model of the oil-immersed transformer, and perform dynamic thermal simulation on the dynamic simulation model under preset operating conditions to obtain the simulation operation data of the oil-immersed transformer.
[0063] In existing methods for calculating winding hot spot temperatures using IEC empirical thermal models, the required parameters such as winding index, oil index, and thermal constant are difficult to obtain accurately. Often, only rough estimates can be made by consulting IEC guidelines based on the transformer capacity and cooling type, resulting in discrepancies with the actual transformer values. To address the limited accuracy of using IEC empirical thermal models for hot spot temperature calculations in practical applications, this invention establishes a dynamic simulation model of an oil-immersed transformer to simulate more accurate parameter data for subsequent model training.
[0064] The dynamic simulation model of this invention is constructed based on the multi-physics thermal state of an oil-immersed transformer. The simulation model includes multiple components such as windings, core, oil, tank shell, and heat sink. The tank and heat sink shell are constructed with multiple layers of materials, with paint layers on the inside and outside and iron plate layers in the middle. This can greatly reduce the number of meshes while realistically simulating actual heat transfer, thereby improving the calculation speed. At the same time, the oil channel support bars between the high and low windings are taken into account to form heat dissipation oil channels. The material property parameters of the simulation model are set according to the relevant material parameters of the actual transformer, so that the simulation results of hot spot temperature are more consistent with reality.
[0065] The dynamic simulation model of this invention involves physical fields including temperature and fluid fields. The temperature field mainly consists of core loss and winding loss, which are the primary sources of heat inside the transformer. Core loss under rated operation can be directly obtained from the transformer's factory test, while winding loss is affected by the load current. The winding loss P... cu The following formula can be used for calculation:
[0066] P cu =P d +P e
[0067]
[0068] In the formula, P d and P e P represents DC loss and eddy current loss, respectively. d_rated and P e_rated These represent the DC loss and eddy current loss under rated current, respectively. M represents the load factor, and T` represents the winding hot spot temperature.
[0069] The fluid field mainly considers the heat transfer process of the transformer, which can be divided into three stages: heat conduction inside the windings and core, oil convection, and air convection and thermal radiation. Among these, heat conduction inside the windings and core follows the basic laws of heat transfer, namely:
[0070]
[0071] In the formula, Q1 represents heat flow, Δ represents the Laplace operator, T` represents the temperature difference between surfaces, and R represents thermal resistance.
[0072] Oil convection circulation is the main pathway for heat transfer inside the transformer. It transfers heat from the windings and core surface to the tank surface. The oil flow distribution characteristics satisfy the Navier-Stokes equations, namely:
[0073]
[0074] In the formula, t represents time, ρ represents fluid density, u represents fluid velocity, p and F represent pressure and volume force, μ and C represent fluid dynamic viscosity and specific heat capacity, T represents fluid temperature, k represents thermal conductivity, Q2 represents heat source, K represents viscous force, ▽ represents Hamiltonian operator, Δ represents Laplace operator, and I represents identity matrix;
[0075] The transformer oil tank and heat sink exchange heat with the outside air through convection and thermal radiation. The heat dissipation through air convection satisfies the following equation:
[0076] Q3=Ah(T s -T a )
[0077] In the formula, Q3 represents the convective heat loss, A represents the surface area, h represents the convective heat transfer coefficient, and T represents the heat transfer coefficient. s and T a These represent the outer surface temperature of the oil tank of an oil-immersed transformer and the ambient temperature, respectively.
[0078] According to the law of radiation, the heat radiated from the box wall into the air satisfies the following governing equation:
[0079]
[0080] In the formula, Q4 represents the thermal radiation radiated from the box wall into the air, η represents the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and E represents the surface emissivity, where η = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W / (m²·K⁴).
[0081] After establishing the dynamic simulation model, the temperature distribution inside the transformer tank can be obtained by iteratively solving the above equations in the finite element simulation, thereby determining the location and temperature of the transformer hot spots.
[0082] To ensure more accurate prediction of hotspot temperatures, the selection of parameters is crucial. Therefore, this invention employs simulation analysis of the streamline trajectory inside the fuel tank, and the simulation results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the main flow paths of transformer oil windings in the tank after temperature rise can be summarized based on the oil flow trajectory diagram. Taking an oil-immersed self-cooled ONAN transformer as an example, the analysis results show that the temperature rise at the top of the tank casing and the connection point at the top of the heat sink is relatively high, and these areas carry a large amount of winding temperature information, showing a strong correlation with the hot spot temperature. Therefore, selecting the temperature regions at the top of both sides of the casing as the key areas for casing temperature measurement, and using them as the main parameters for hot spot temperature inversion, can improve the accuracy of the prediction results. These parameters can be obtained using an infrared thermometer.
[0083] After establishing the dynamic simulation model of the oil-immersed transformer, the dynamic thermal simulation under different operating conditions can be performed to obtain the transient change law of the winding hot spot temperature under load variation and different ambient temperatures. The specific steps are as follows:
[0084] Step S101: Based on the preset operating conditions of the oil-immersed transformer, set the simulated load current and simulated ambient temperature of the oil-immersed transformer.
[0085] Step S102: Perform dynamic thermal simulation on the dynamic simulation model based on the simulated load current and the simulated ambient temperature to obtain the simulated top oil temperature, simulated winding hot spot temperature and the average temperature of the top of the shells on both sides of the simulated oil tank of the oil-immersed transformer.
[0086] First, the operating conditions for the rise and fall of the transformer load current are set, generally including the main load range of normal transformer operation, such as 0.2 times the rated current to 1.0 times the rated current. This divides the load range into multiple different load variation ranges, thus covering the main operating conditions of the transformer. In this embodiment of the invention, the load range is divided into 24 ranges, expressed as multiples of the rated current, namely: 0.2 to 0.3, 0.3 to 0.4, 0.4 to 0.5, 0.5 to 0.6, 0.6 to 0.7, 0.7 to 0.8, 0.8 to 0.9, 0.9 to 1.0, and 0.2 to 0.4, 0.3 to 0.5, 0.4 to 0.6, 0.5 to 0.7, 0.6 to 0.8, 0.7 to 0.9, 0.8 to 1.0, 0.2 to 0.5, 0.3 to 0.6, 0.4 to 0.7, 0.5 to 0.8, 0.6 to 0.9, 0.7 to 1.0. It should be noted that the simulation data settings given in this embodiment are only a preferred method and not a specific limitation. The specific simulation data can be flexibly set according to the actual situation.
[0087] Then set the boundary conditions of the dynamic simulation model, i.e., the ambient temperature. Select a range of load current variation from the above ranges and set the simulation time step to 1 minute. For example, select the range where the load current increases from 0.8 times the rated current to 1.0 times the rated current. Calculate the winding loss before and after the load current change. Then substitute the loss value into the dynamic simulation model. First, simulate and run the calculation for 5 hours under a load factor of 0.8, and then simulate and run the calculation for 5 hours under a load factor of 1. Record and save the load current, ambient temperature, and the top oil temperature, winding hot spot temperature, and average temperature values of the top of the two sides of the tank obtained from the simulation every minute.
[0088] The next step is to modify the ambient temperature of the transformer. For example, in this embodiment, the ambient temperature can be set to 10°, 20°, 30° and 40° respectively. Repeat the above steps until the simulation of all operating conditions under all ambient temperatures, including the 24 ranges of load current increase and the 24 ranges of load current decrease, is completed. The simulation data under all operating conditions is obtained, namely the simulated load current, ambient temperature, top oil temperature, winding hot spot temperature and the average temperature of the top of the casing on both sides of the oil tank. This simulation data will be used as the model dataset for subsequent applications.
[0089] Step S20: Establish a hot spot temperature mapping model for the oil-immersed transformer, and use the simulation running data as a training dataset to train the hot spot temperature mapping model. The hot spot temperature mapping model includes a gated recurrent unit and a deep neural network.
[0090] Step S30: Obtain the real-time operating data of the oil-immersed transformer, input the real-time operating data into the trained hot spot temperature mapping model for temperature prediction, and obtain the winding hot spot temperature of the oil-immersed transformer. The real-time operating data includes load current, ambient temperature, top oil temperature, and average temperature of the top of the casing on both sides of the oil tank.
[0091] The network model established in this invention, reflecting the mapping relationship between measurable parameters and hotspot temperatures, is constructed using gated recurrent units combined with a deep neural network. For the established hotspot temperature mapping model, the aforementioned simulation data is used as the training dataset for training. Since the model has the same structure and dimensions as the actual transformer and considers in detail the heat conduction inside the windings, oil convection, air-side heat convection, and surface heat radiation processes of the tank, it can accurately calculate the temperature distribution at various locations in the tank and the hotspot temperature variation curve over time. Therefore, the transient temperature change data of the transformer under different load variations and different ambient temperatures obtained from simulation calculations are also accurate and reliable. Using this data to train the network model to estimate the hotspot temperature has high accuracy. The following section, in conjunction with the appendix... Figure 3 The structure of the hotspot temperature mapping model and the data processing procedure are explained.
[0092] The hotspot temperature mapping model of the present invention is composed of a gated recurrent unit and a deep neural network. The gated recurrent unit includes an input layer and a reset update layer, namely layer 1 and layer 2. The deep neural network includes a combination layer, a first hidden layer, a second hidden layer and an output layer, namely layer 3, layer 4, layer 5 and layer 6.
[0093] The reason for using a gated recurrent unit (ROU) is to solve the gradient vanishing or exploding problem in standard RNNs while preserving long-term information of the sequence. In this embodiment, the input data of the gated recurrent unit is the historical winding hot spot temperature of the oil-immersed transformer. Since the input layer has 6 neurons, the 6 historical winding hot spot temperatures are used to form an input matrix X, which is then input into the input layer. After passing through the gated loop of the reset and update gates in the reset and update layer, the first output matrix H is obtained. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The time step in the reset update layer is 6, and the output matrix at step t can be represented as: h t =GRU(h t-1 ,X t ), t∈[1,6], X t This represents the element at time step t in the input matrix X. The specific data processing in the reset and update layer can be referred to the general data processing process of GRU, and will not be explained in detail here.
[0094] In addition to the output matrix of the gated recurrent unit, the input data of the combined layer of the deep neural network also includes other operating data of the oil-immersed transformer, including the current and previous load current, the current and previous top oil temperature, the average temperature of the top of the tank casings on both sides, and the ambient temperature. These data can be obtained through dynamic monitoring of the transformer. Since the load current and top oil temperature data are relatively easy to obtain in real time, more accurate measured values can be substituted into them. However, the average temperature of the top of the tank casings on both sides and the ambient temperature data are obtained less frequently, and in practice, interpolation is more often used to obtain intermediate values, resulting in relatively larger input errors. Therefore, the load current and top oil temperature data are used from two consecutive data sets to increase the input weight, while the average temperature of the top of the tank casings on both sides and the ambient temperature data are only used from the current data set. That is, by inputting more accurate data values, the accuracy of the prediction results can be improved.
[0095] In this embodiment, the running data can be represented by matrix F. Then, the concat function is used to combine the output matrix of the gated recurrent unit and the running data matrix F to obtain the input matrix X` of the combined layer, i.e., X` = concat(H,F). The first and second hidden layers of the deep neural network are both fully connected layers with 6 neurons each. The output matrices after linear calculation are H`1 and H`2, respectively. Finally, Y is output by the output layer. p The winding hotspot temperature, used for the final inversion prediction, involves data processing by a deep neural network, including the activation function and classifier, which can be referenced from conventional DNN network models and will not be elaborated further here. The hotspot temperature mapping model established in this invention, combining a gated recurrent unit and a deep neural network, can capture dependencies with large time step distances in the time series, thereby improving the accuracy of hotspot temperature prediction when hotspot temperatures are dynamically changing.
[0096] The following example uses a 10kV experimental transformer with distributed fiber optic temperature sensors installed in its internal windings to experimentally verify the hotspot temperature prediction method provided in this invention. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 5 The multiphysics dynamic simulation model shown is based on a physical transformer. Taking the typical operating conditions of the transformer as an example, the transformer was operated at 0.5 times its rated current for 4 hours, then at a load factor of 1.0 for 2 hours, then at a load factor of 0.8 for 2 hours, and finally back to 0.5 times its rated current for 4 hours. After a large number of simulations in each load range, the load current, ambient temperature, top oil temperature, hot spot temperature, and average temperature of the top of the casing on both sides of the tank were recorded and saved every minute, resulting in a total of 115,200 sets of data. Typical data obtained from the simulation are as follows. Figure 6 As shown in the figure. Then, these simulation data are used as data samples to construct and train a hotspot temperature mapping model based on a GRU-DNN network. This hotspot temperature mapping model is then used to plot the winding hotspot temperature curves of the oil-immersed transformer, and compared with the hotspot temperature curves measured by actual fiber optic temperature sensors and those calculated using IEC. According to the experimental data, the root mean square error (RMSE) between the hotspot temperature curve plotted using the hotspot temperature mapping model provided by this invention and the hotspot temperature curve measured by the actual fiber optic temperature sensor is 0.55℃, with a maximum absolute error of 1.9℃. In contrast, the RMS error between the hotspot temperature curve calculated using IEC and the hotspot temperature curve measured by the actual fiber optic temperature sensor is 2.88℃, with a maximum absolute error of 6.4℃. Therefore, this method can improve the accuracy of online assessment of transformer hotspot temperature under dynamic load changes, providing effective support for accurately assessing the dynamic load capacity of transformers.
[0097] The hot spot temperature prediction method for oil-immersed transformers provided in this invention differs from traditional methods, which can only roughly estimate parameters based on transformer capacity and cooling type by consulting IEC guidelines, often resulting in deviations from the actual transformer values. This invention utilizes a large amount of dynamic data on transformer operating status changes obtained from multi-physics simulations to establish an intelligent learning model. This model not only enables dynamic tracking and online monitoring of transformer hot spot temperatures but also, because the transient temperature change data of transformers under different load variations and ambient temperature conditions obtained from simulation calculations are accurate and reliable, the prediction model trained using these data also has high accuracy in predicting hot spot temperatures.

[0107] In summary, this invention provides a method, system, device, and storage medium for predicting hot spot temperature of an oil-immersed transformer. The method involves establishing a dynamic simulation model of the oil-immersed transformer based on its multi-physics thermal state, and performing dynamic thermal simulation on the model under preset operating conditions to obtain simulation operation data. A hot spot temperature mapping model is then established, and the simulation operation data is used as a training dataset to train the model. This model includes a gated recurrent unit and a deep neural network. Real-time operating data of the oil-immersed transformer is acquired and input into the trained hot spot temperature mapping model for temperature prediction, resulting in the winding hot spot temperature of the oil-immersed transformer. This real-time operating data includes load current, ambient temperature, top oil temperature, and the average temperature of the top of both sides of the tank casing. This invention utilizes data on the dynamic changes in the operating status of transformers obtained through multiphysics simulation to establish an intelligent learning model. This model dynamically tracks and monitors the hot spot temperature of the transformer online, enabling more accurate acquisition of the hot spot temperature under dynamic conditions. Furthermore, by analyzing the transformer's oil flow lines, key temperature measurement areas on the tank shell are selected as important parameters for hot spot temperature inversion, further improving the accuracy of hot spot temperature inversion.
