Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of surge arrester technology, and in particular to a surge arrester three-phase resistive current imbalance alarm method based on curve similarity. Background Technology
[0002] Surge arresters are crucial high-voltage electrical devices in power systems, limiting lightning and switching overvoltages. Prolonged exposure to power frequency voltage can lead to defects such as aging of the valve plates and overall moisture absorption. In severe cases, this can result in the arrester losing its protective function and even exploding. Therefore, monitoring the operational status of surge arresters and promptly and effectively detecting aging and moisture defects is of paramount importance for ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system.
[0003] During operation, surge arresters not only withstand long-term high-frequency voltage but are also affected by the natural environment. The internal valve plates of the surge arrester age. If the arrester's sealing is poor, water can easily seep into the internal valve plates, accelerating insulation deterioration and potentially causing an explosion during operation. Aging of the surge arrester leads to uneven potential distribution within the internal valve plates, causing additional temperature rise and further accelerating aging, creating a vicious cycle. When the insulation of the surge arrester deteriorates, the total current and resistive current, reflecting its insulation performance, will increase significantly, and there may also be significant differences in the data between the three phases. When the monitored data changes drastically or the three-phase differences are large, initial value difference and three-phase imbalance alarms will be triggered. Therefore, monitoring the operating status of surge arresters, analyzing the degree of three-phase imbalance, issuing three-phase imbalance alarms, and promptly and effectively detecting and eliminating surge arrester faults are crucial for the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
[0004] However, in practical applications, due to the small absolute values of the resistive current and total current of the surge arrester, it is greatly affected by external factors, especially weather (temperature, humidity), large differences in the initial value of the surge arrester's resistive current (especially between different manufacturers), and the failure of a certain phase monitoring device. As a result, there are many false alarms in online monitoring, and the single alarm rule has significant limitations and needs further optimization. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for alarming three-phase resistive current imbalance of surge arresters based on curve similarity. This method can analyze the curve similarity of the three-phase resistive current of the surge arrester, thereby making a preliminary judgment on the degree of insulation degradation of the surge arrester, issuing a three-phase imbalance alarm in a timely manner, and reminding the operation and maintenance unit to take timely action.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a three-phase resistive current imbalance alarm method for surge arresters based on curve similarity, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Using the measured data of the three-phase resistive current of the surge arrester, calculate the pairwise difference of the three-phase resistive current in the first n data points at the monitoring point, divided by the pairwise average. Taking phases A and B as an example, the calculation formula is: Similarly, BC is calculated. dif(i) and AC dif(i) ;
[0008] Step 2: Calculate the sum of the squares of the pairwise differences of the three-phase resistive currents in the first n data points of the monitoring point, divided by the sum of the squares of the pairwise averages. Taking phases A and B as an example, the calculation formula is: Similarly, R is calculated. BC and R AC ;
[0009] Step 3: Calculate the pairwise difference of the three-phase resistive current in the first n data points of the monitoring point, divided by the standard deviation of the pairwise average. The calculation formula is: Similarly, std is calculated. BC and std AC ;
[0010] Step 4: Get std AB std AC std BC The maximum value in the value is used as the unbalance coefficient of the three-phase resistive current curve, reflecting the degree of similarity between the three-phase resistive current curves, that is:
[0011] std ABC =max{std AB std AC std BC}, std ABC Compared with the threshold, when std ABC When the value is less than the threshold, the surge arrester and monitoring device operate normally and no alarm is issued; when std ABC If the value exceeds the threshold, it is considered that the monitoring device is abnormal or the surge arrester is defective, and an alarm should be issued to remind the operation and maintenance unit to take timely action.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the alarm method is based on the following theoretical basis: the three-phase imbalance alarm data caused by weather influences show good consistency in the trend of the three-phase data, while the three-phase resistive current of the monitoring device or surge arrester itself has poor consistency. Therefore, the alarm cause is automatically identified by the curve similarity of the three-phase resistive current data.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, in step 2, R AB R represents the distance between the parametric curves of phases A and B. AB The smaller the value, the closer the parameter curves of phases A and B are.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, in step 3, the std AB std BC std AC To measure the similarity between the two-phase resistive current curves, std AB The smaller the value, the more similar the trends of the parameter curves of phases A and B; similarly, std BC The smaller the value, the more similar the trend of the parameter curves of phases B and C; std AC The smaller the value, the more similar the trend of the parameter curves of phases A and C.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, in step 4, the std ABC The standard deviation (std) represents the degree of similarity between three-phase resistive current curves. AB std AC std BC The maximum value among them; std ABC The smaller the value, the more similar the trend of the parameter curves of phases A, B, and C.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the three-phase resistive current imbalance alarm refers to the fact that when the insulation of the surge arrester deteriorates, the resistive current reflecting its insulation performance will increase significantly, and there may also be significant differences in the data between the three phases; when the monitoring data changes drastically or the differences between the three phases are large, a three-phase imbalance alarm is triggered.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the three-phase resistive current imbalance alarm refers to the surge arrester alarming when the imbalance coefficient of the three-phase resistive current curve is greater than a certain value, indicating poor consistency in the trend of the three-phase resistive current. The causes of the three-phase imbalance alarm are basically pollution, equipment failure, or surge arrester deterioration, and an alarm should be issued to remind the operation and maintenance unit to handle it in a timely manner.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. The three-phase unbalance alarm method only requires calculating the three-phase unbalance coefficient of the surge arrester resistive current and comparing its value with the threshold, making the process simple and convenient.
[0020] 2. It can perform curve trend consistency analysis of the three-phase resistive current of the surge arrester, reducing the false alarm rate of three-phase imbalance caused by factors such as environmental humidity.
[0021] 3. The proposed alarm rule for three-phase resistive current imbalance of surge arresters based on curve similarity can be integrated with other alarm rules to form a comprehensive alarm rule, thereby improving the correct alarm rate of online monitoring of surge arresters and reducing the false alarm rate.

[0026] See Figure 1 This invention provides a method for alarming three-phase resistive current imbalance of surge arresters based on curve similarity. The theoretical basis of this method is that the three-phase imbalance alarm data caused by weather influence shows that the three-phase data trend is relatively consistent, while the three-phase resistive current of the monitoring device or surge arrester itself is less consistent. Therefore, the cause of the alarm can be automatically identified by the curve similarity of the three-phase resistive current data.
[0027] The method includes the following steps:
[0028] Step 1: Using the measured data of the three-phase resistive current of the surge arrester, calculate the pairwise difference of the three-phase resistive current in the first n data points at the monitoring point, divided by the pairwise average. Taking phases A and B as an example, the calculation formula is: Similarly, BC can be calculated. dif(i) and AC dif(i) .
[0029] Step 2: Calculate the sum of the squares of the pairwise differences of the three-phase resistive currents in the first n data points of the monitoring point, divided by the sum of the squares of the pairwise averages. Taking phases A and B as an example, the calculation formula is: Similarly, R can be calculated. BC and R AC .
[0030] Wherein, the R AB The parametric curve distance between phases A and B is represented by R, which borrows the idea from the Friesian distance. AB The smaller the value, the closer the parameter curves of phases A and B are.
[0031] Step 3: Calculate the pairwise difference of the three-phase resistive current in the first n data points of the monitoring point, divided by the standard deviation of the pairwise average. The calculation formula is: Similarly, std can be calculated. BC and std AC .
[0032] Wherein, std AB std BC std AC To measure the similarity between the two-phase resistive current curves, std AB The smaller the value, the more similar the trends of the parameter curves of phases A and B; similarly, std BC The smaller the value, the more similar the trend of the parameter curves of phases B and C; std AC The smaller the value, the more similar the trend of the parameter curves of phases A and C.
[0033] Step 4: Get std AB std AC std BC The maximum value in std is used as the unbalance coefficient of the three-phase resistive current curve, reflecting the degree of similarity between the three-phase resistive current curves, i.e.: std ABC =max{std AB std AC std BC}, std ABC Compared to the threshold (0.05), when std ABC When std < 0.05, the three-phase imbalance is considered to be caused by fluctuations in environmental parameters such as weather; the surge arrester and monitoring device are operating normally and no alarm is issued; when std ABC When the value is ≥0.05, it is considered that the monitoring device is abnormal or the surge arrester is defective, and an alarm should be issued to remind the operation and maintenance unit to take timely action.
[0034] The three-phase resistive current imbalance alarm refers to the situation where, when the insulation of the surge arrester deteriorates, the resistive current, which reflects its insulation performance, will increase significantly, and there may also be significant differences in the data between the three phases. A three-phase imbalance alarm is triggered when the monitoring data changes drastically or the differences between the three phases are large.
[0035] When the imbalance coefficient of the three-phase resistive current curve is greater than a certain value, the trend consistency of the three-phase resistive current is poor, and the surge arrester alarms. The causes of three-phase imbalance alarms are basically pollution, equipment failure, or surge arrester deterioration. An alarm should be issued to remind the operation and maintenance unit to deal with it in a timely manner.
[0036] The following example, a 110kV three-phase surge arrester in XX City, XX Province in 2022, further illustrates the beneficial effects of the present invention.
[0037] 1) Obtain the resistive current data of a 110kV three-phase surge arrester in XX City, XX Province, as shown in Table 1;
[0038] 2) Calculate the pairwise difference of the three-phase resistive current in the first 6 data points of the monitoring point, divided by the pairwise average value AB. dif(6) BC dif(6) and AC dif(6) The results are shown in Table 2.
[0039] 3) Calculate the sum of the squares of the pairwise differences of the three-phase resistive currents in the first 6 data points of the monitoring point, divided by the sum of the squares of the pairwise averages, R. AB R BC and R AC The results are shown in Table 3.
[0040] 4) Calculate the pairwise difference of the three-phase resistive current in the first 6 data points of the monitoring point, divided by the standard deviation (std) of the pairwise average. AB std BC and std AC The results are shown in Table 3.
[0041] 5) Get std AB std AC std BC The maximum value is used as std ABC Get std ABC =0.0522>0.05, thus triggering a three-phase imbalance alarm. After on-site inspection and verification, it was found that the B-phase surge arrester itself was abnormal. After power outage and replacement of the B-phase surge arrester, the data returned to normal. The alarm situation and the on-site situation showed good consistency.
