Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of transformer fault diagnosis, and relates to a method for evaluating the tolerance of insulating oil molecules to electric field action based on microphysical properties. BACKGROUND
[0002] Mineral oil has been used in transformers for more than 100 years because of its good dielectric properties and economy. In recent years, accidents such as fires and explosions of mineral oil transformers have occurred frequently. Once the mineral oil leaks, it will cause great pollution to the environment. Natural esters have excellent anti-aging, environmental protection, fireproof performance, and are renewable, which meet the development needs of future dielectric liquids. In the past two decades, natural esters have been widely used as a substitute for mineral oil in oil-immersed transformers all over the world. At present, the number of natural ester insulating oil transformers in operation worldwide exceeds 1 million, with voltage levels from 10 kV to 420 kV and capacities from 6.25 MVA to 300 MVA. In the future, the number of natural ester transformers will continue to increase.
[0003] During the operation of the transformer, the oil-paper insulation system will be subjected to the action of electric field. The ability of insulating oil to withstand alternating current electric field and lightning impulse electric field is crucial to the structural design of the transformer. Studies have shown that the power frequency AC breakdown voltage of natural esters is higher than that of mineral oil. Wang Zhongdong et al. compared the lightning impulse breakdown characteristics of mineral oil and natural esters. It was found that the lightning impulse breakdown voltage of natural esters was about 10% and 15% lower than that of mineral oil under positive and negative polarity, respectively. During the lightning impulse discharge process, the streamer branches of mineral oil become brighter and brighter, while the streamer branches of natural esters are more dispersed. The AC breakdown voltage of insulating oil mainly depends on the impurity bridge, while the lightning impulse breakdown process of insulating oil is relatively short, mainly depending on the microstructure of the insulating oil molecules. At present, the research on the withstand power frequency and lightning impulse breakdown characteristics of insulating oil is mainly through experimental analysis. The construction and process of the test platform are complex and tedious, and there is a lack of evaluation system for the tolerance of insulating oil molecules to electric field strength from the molecular level.
[0004] In view of the existing technical defects, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method for evaluating the ability of insulating oil molecules to withstand electric field action by using microphysical properties, which includes three aspects: constructing a performance evaluation microphysical property index parameter matrix, calculating the numerical values of performance evaluation index parameters under different electric field actions, and comparing and analyzing the ability of different types of natural ester molecules to withstand electric field action by using a radar chart. The present application provides theoretical guidance for accurately and efficiently judging the ability of insulating oil molecules to withstand electric field strength. SUMMARY
[0005] Therefore, the present application aims to provide a method for evaluating the molecular resistance to electric field of insulating oil based on micro-physical properties, which first constructs a performance evaluation micro-physical property index parameter matrix: taking dipole moment, molecular polarity index, free volume fraction, ionization energy, excitation energy and energy gap as micro-physical property parameter characteristic quantities, a two-dimensional three-column characteristic quantity matrix is constructed.

[0038] As Figure 1 shown, the present application comprises the following three steps:
[0039] The first step is constructing a performance evaluation micro-physical property index parameter matrix. Taking the molecular dipole moment, molecular polarity index, free volume fraction, ionization energy, excitation energy and energy gap of insulating oil as micro-physical property parameter characteristic quantities, a two-dimensional three-column characteristic quantity matrix is constructed. The first dimension of the matrix is the main influencing factor of the power frequency breakdown characteristic of insulating oil and the secondary influencing factor of the lightning impulse breakdown characteristic; the second dimension of the matrix is the main influencing factor of the lightning impulse breakdown characteristic of insulating oil and the secondary influencing factor of the power frequency breakdown characteristic.
[0040] The second step is calculating the values of performance evaluation index parameters under the action of different electric fields. Based on the density functional theory, the molecular model of insulating oil is constructed, and the Gaussian software is used to calculate the dipole moment of the insulating oil molecular model under different electric field strengths by using the M062X\\6-311+G(d,p) method; the M062X\\6-311G(d,p) method is used to calculate the values of the molecular polarity index, ionization energy, excitation energy and energy gap of the insulating oil molecular model under different electric field strengths.

Based on the calculation process of the performance evaluation index parameters in the second step, the six performance evaluation micro-physical property indexes of mineral oil molecules and natural ester molecules are drawn into a radar chart, and the electric field resistance ability and differences of mineral oil and natural ester molecules are comprehensively evaluated.
[0042] 1 Constructing a performance evaluation micro-physical property index parameter matrix
[0043] Taking the molecular dipole moment (μ), molecular polarity index (MPI), free volume fraction (FFV), ionization energy (IP), excitation energy (E exa ) and energy gap (E gap ) of insulating oil as micro-physical property parameter characteristic quantities, a two-dimensional three-column characteristic quantity matrix W is constructed.
[0044]
[0045] The dipole moment, molecular polarity index and free volume fraction of the insulating oil molecule in the first row of the matrix are the main influencing factors of the power frequency breakdown characteristic of insulating oil and the secondary influencing factors of the lightning impulse breakdown characteristic; the ionization, excitation energy and energy gap in the second row of the matrix are the main influencing factors of the lightning impulse breakdown characteristic of insulating oil and the secondary influencing factors of the power frequency breakdown characteristic.
[0046] 2 Calculate the values of performance evaluation index parameters under the action of different electric fields
[0047] Based on density functional theory, the Gaussian software was used to optimize the geometry of the insulating oil molecular model using the M062X functional with the 6-311G(d, p) basis set. The insulating oil molecular model was subjected to an electric field with a strength of 0, 0.002 a.u., 0.004 a.u., 0.006 a.u., and 0.008 a.u. along the y-axis (1 a.u. = 5.1423 x 10 11 V / m), and the optimal structure of the insulating oil molecule under different electric field strengths was obtained. Based on the optimized natural ester molecular model, the M062X functional with the 6-311+G(d, p) basis set was used to calculate the dipole moment of the insulating oil molecule using formula (1):
[0048] μ = ql (1)
[0049] where q is the charge quantity and l is the distance between positive and negative charges.
[0050] The M062X functional with the 6-311G(d, p) basis set was used to calculate the polarity index of the insulating oil molecule using formula (2):
[0051]
[0052] where V is the molecular electrostatic potential, the integral is the integral over the surface S of the molecule, and A is the surface area of the molecule.
[0053] The M062X functional with the 6-311G(d, p) basis set was used to calculate the energy of the neutral molecule and the cation in the insulating oil, as shown in formula (3); the value of the ionization energy of the insulating oil molecule is the energy of the cationic molecule minus the energy of the neutral molecule.
[0054] IP = E M+ -E M (3)
[0055] where E M is the calculated energy when the insulating oil molecule is neutral, and E M+ is the calculated energy when the charge of the insulating oil molecule is +1. The M062X functional with the 6-311G(d, p) basis set was used to calculate the excitation energy and energy gap of the insulating oil molecule.
[0056] Based on the molecular dynamics theory, the insulating oil molecular system model was constructed, and the steepest descent method was used to optimize the geometry of the insulating oil molecular system model. The optimized model was subjected to annealing treatment. The NPT ensemble was used to balance the insulating oil molecular model for 500 ps to achieve a reasonable density value. The NVT system was used to analyze the balanced model for 500 ps of dynamics simulation, and the free volume fraction of the insulating oil molecular system model was calculated.
[0057] 3 Radar chart was used to compare the ability of different types of natural ester molecules to resist electric field
[0058] The greater the dipole moment and MPI value of the insulating oil molecules, the stronger the polarity, and the higher the interaction with water and acidic substances; the smaller the free volume fraction of the insulating oil molecules, the less the movement space of water and acidic substances. In the process of power frequency breakdown of insulating oil, the greater the dipole moment and MPI value of the insulating oil molecules and the smaller the free volume fraction, the more difficult it is for water and impurities to form a bridge, and the higher the power frequency breakdown voltage. The ionization energy of the molecule can measure the ability of the molecule to lose electrons and ionize; the excitation energy of the molecule can measure the difficulty of the excitation process of the molecule; the energy gap of the molecule is related to the conductivity of the molecule, and the greater the energy gap of the molecule, the weaker the conductivity. According to the discharge theory of natural ester under lightning impulse, the higher the lightning impulse breakdown voltage of the natural ester molecule with lower dipole moment, higher ionization energy, excitation energy and energy gap.
[0059] Taking the dialkane in mineral oil as an example, the values of six kinds of micro-physical properties of dialkane under an electric field intensity of 0.008 a.u. were extracted, and a radar chart was drawn. By comparing the differences of lightning charts of different insulating oil molecules, the ability of insulating oil molecules to resist electric field can be evaluated. Figure 2 Radar chart of the ability of dialkane to resist electric field.
[0060] Taking dialkane as the mineral oil molecule and glycerol trioleate as the natural ester molecule, the values of dipole moment (μ), molecular polarity index (MPI), free volume fraction (FFV), ionization energy (IP), excitation energy (E exa ) and energy gap (E gap ) parameters of the two kinds of insulating oil molecules under different electric field intensities were calculated, as shown in Tables 1 and 2. The data values of electric field intensity of 0, 0.004 a.u. and 0.008 a.u. were selected to draw the radar chart of the micro-physical property indexes of mineral oil molecules and natural ester molecules, and the differences of the micro-physical property index values of mineral oil molecules and natural ester molecules were compared. Figure 3 In the figure, (a) is 0 a.u.; (b) is 0.004 a.u.; (c) is 0.008 a.u. Figure 3 As can be seen from the results, the dipole moment and molecular polarity index of mineral oil molecules are smaller than those of natural ester molecules, the free volume fraction of mineral oil molecules is greater than that of natural ester molecules, so the power frequency breakdown voltage of mineral oil should be lower than that of vegetable oil; the ionization energy, excitation energy and energy gap values of mineral oil molecules are higher than those of natural ester molecules, so the lightning impulse breakdown voltage of mineral oil should be higher than that of natural ester. Table 3 shows the experimental values of the breakdown voltage of natural ester and mineral oil.
[0061] In order to verify the result of the method for evaluating the ability of molecular of insulating oil to resist electric field effect by using microscopic physical parameters, the power frequency breakdown voltage and lightning impulse breakdown voltage tests of mineral oil and natural ester molecules are carried out. The lightning impulse breakdown voltage test of insulating oil is carried out by using step-by-step voltage rising method. The electrode is needle-plate electrode, and the electrode spacing is 10 mm. The power frequency breakdown voltage of insulating oil is tested according to IEC60156 standard. The experimental results show that the power frequency breakdown voltage of natural ester is higher than that of mineral oil, and the lightning impulse voltage under positive and negative polarity is lower than that of mineral oil, which is consistent with the result of the method for evaluating the ability of molecular of insulating oil to resist electric field effect by using microscopic physical parameters.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the present application, and they should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
