Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer monitoring systems, and more specifically, to a method for diagnostic control of slow-blow fuses in voltage transformers based on computer monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Voltage transformers are installed at the generator terminals for generator protection, excitation, speed regulation, and measurement. The primary side of the voltage transformer is connected to the generator output bus via a high-voltage fuse. Due to issues such as fuse quality and operating environment, slow blowing of the primary fuse often occurs under normal operating voltage. This slow drop in secondary voltage may cause protection devices to fail to issue a "PT disconnection alarm" signal in time, making it difficult for operators to detect. Furthermore, due to imperfect PT slow-blow diagnostic logic in some excitation regulators, it can easily lead to abnormal increases in generator terminal voltage and malfunctions in generator protection. Therefore, we propose an improvement: a computer-monitored slow-blow diagnostic control method for voltage transformer fuses. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Step 2: When the voltage sampling value of the main channel terminal is greater than that of the backup channel terminal terminal and the difference is greater than 2%; when there are no alarms in the excitation system and the voltages of other voltage transmitters are normal, the monitoring system will determine that the primary fuse of excitation PT1 or PT2 is slowly blowing.

[0007] Step 3: The local control unit of the computer monitoring system makes a comprehensive judgment based on the combined judgment of the voltage and current signals from the data acquisition meter, single-phase voltage transmitter, relay protection system alarm, active and reactive power transmitter, excitation and speed controller, and three-phase voltage imbalance, single-phase voltage transformer measurement value > threshold, protection system signal, and active and reactive power transmitter measurement signal to distinguish between slow blowing of the PT primary fuse and secondary open circuit, and correctly determine the slow blowing of the PT primary fuse.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step one, if the computer monitoring system LCU excitation system status quantity receives a status quantity entry command from the monitoring system, then it enters the excitation system.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step three, the local control unit of the computer monitoring system converts the AC current signal in the measured circuit into an AC voltage signal through a voltage transmitter and the voltage transmitter conversion circuit outputs it to the monitoring circuit.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step three, the local control unit of the computer monitoring system is connected to the active and reactive power transmitters via a network cloud device through the PLC processor in the device.

[0028] Step 4: After the voltage transformer primary fuse slow-blow alarm, the linkage control strategy is implemented. The computer monitoring system LCU diagnoses the slow-blow alarm of the excitation PT primary fuse.

[0029] Step 4: Before the excitation system voltage transformer sampling abnormality disconnection alarm occurs, monitor the LCU output signal to switch the excitation AVR channel or control mode to avoid abnormal rise in the generator terminal voltage.

[0030] Step 5: The computer monitoring system LCU diagnoses other slow-blow alarms of primary fuses and monitors the LCU output signal to switch between active and reactive power transmitters to avoid misadjustment or miscontrol of active and reactive power; depending on the specific application, it switches the speed governor control mode from "power closed loop" mode to "opening" mode to prevent abnormal active power control of the unit.

It sends the sampled values ​​of the excitation terminal voltages of the two excitation channels to the monitoring LCU. The computer monitoring system LCU comprehensively judges the excitation system terminal voltage, various excitation system status variables, and signals from other voltage transformers and cross-sensor meters to realize a slow-blow alarm for the primary fuse of the excitation PT. Step 2: When the sampled value of the primary channel terminal voltage is greater than the sampled value of the backup channel terminal voltage and the difference is greater than 2%, and the excitation system has no alarm... In case of an alarm, if the voltages of other voltage transmitters are normal, the monitoring system identifies the slow-blowing primary fuse of excitation PT1 or PT2. Step three: The local control unit of the computer monitoring system comprehensively judges the situation by analyzing the cross-sampling meters, single-phase voltage transmitters, relay protection system alarms, active and reactive power transmitters, and active and reactive power voltage and current signals from the excitation and speed controller.

Step four also includes a linkage control strategy after the voltage transformer primary fuse slow-blowing alarm. The computer monitoring system LCU diagnoses the slow-blowing alarm of the excitation PT primary fuse. Step four: Before the excitation system voltage transformer sampling abnormality and circuit break alarm, the monitoring LCU output signal acts on the excitation AVR channel switching or control mode switching to prevent abnormal voltage rise at the generator terminals. This also includes step five: the computer monitoring system LCU diagnoses other slow-blow alarms of primary fuses, monitors the LCU output signal to switch the active and reactive power transmitters, avoiding misadjustment and miscontrol of active and reactive power; depending on the specific application, it switches the speed governor control mode from "power closed-loop" mode to "opening" mode to prevent abnormal active power control of the unit. Step five: based on the impact of abnormal PT primary fuse conditions on the unit's active and reactive power transmitter measurements, it acts on the plant-wide AGC and AVC closed-loop control function exit strategy. Step one: the computer monitoring system LCU samples the excitation system terminal voltage. After receiving the excitation system terminal voltage command, the control mode is automatic operation, and the terminal voltage is greater than the preset proportion of the rated terminal voltage.
