Background Technology

[0002] Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas is widely used in electrical equipment as an excellent insulating and arc-quenching medium. However, SF6 has a greenhouse effect 24,300 times that of CO2 and a lifespan in the atmosphere of up to 3,200 years, posing a significant adverse impact on the environment. Domestic and international research shows that environmentally friendly gases such as perfluoroisobutyronitrile (C4F7N) and trifluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride (CF3SO2F), when mixed with CO2, O2, and N2, exhibit high insulation strength and low greenhouse effect. These are considered superior environmentally friendly alternatives to SF6 and are gradually being implemented in engineering applications for insulation replacement in switchgear such as GIS, GIL, and ring main units.

[0003] However, there is a lack of research and public reports on the arc-extinguishing performance and high-capacity breaking technology of environmentally friendly mixed gases, leaving considerable uncertainty. Because environmentally friendly gases have a lower greenhouse effect and degrade more rapidly in the atmosphere, their stability and recombination properties after ionization are limited.

[0060] According to a first aspect of the present invention, an environmentally friendly mixed gas switch post-arc recovery performance evaluation method 100 is provided, with reference to... Figure 1 As shown, the method 100 includes:

[0061] S101: Detect the arc voltage, arc current, gas pressure and temperature in the arc extinguishing chamber generated by the interruption test conditions, and calculate the arc conductance and its rate of change with respect to time.

[0062] S102: Substitute the arc voltage, arc current, arc conductance and their rate of change with respect to time into the arc model to calculate the post-arc current after the arc current crosses zero, and determine whether the post-arc thermal recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas meets the breaking requirements based on the post-arc current.

[0063] S103: If the post-arc thermal recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas meets the breaking requirements, the net ionization coefficient of the environmentally friendly mixed gas is determined based on the gas pressure and temperature in the arc extinguishing chamber, and the critical discharge field strength is obtained based on the net ionization coefficient.

[0064] S104: Apply the system operating voltage to the switching equipment, calculate the electric field distribution in the arc-extinguishing chamber, compare the critical discharge field strength with the electric field distribution, and determine whether the post-arc electric recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas meets the interruption requirements.

[0065] Specifically, the environmentally friendly mixed gas in switchgear ionizes during the switching process, generating a large amount of high-temperature plasma, mainly composed of electrons, various ions, and neutral atoms. After the current crosses zero, the arc temperature in the arc-extinguishing chamber drops sharply. Most of the particles that have cooled down recombine, rapidly entering the thermal and electrical recovery stages, allowing the gas to return to its insulating state with high insulation strength, meeting the voltage withstand requirements of the power system during normal operation. Therefore, proposing a method and device for evaluating the post-arc recovery performance of environmentally friendly mixed gas switches, and effectively assessing the gas's post-arc recovery performance, is crucial to ensuring the normal switching operation of the equipment.

[0066] It consists of a binary or ternary environmentally friendly mixed gas composed of environmentally friendly insulating gases such as perfluoroisobutyronitrile (C4F7N) and trifluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride (CF3SO2F) and buffer gases such as CO2, O2, and N2, with a gas pressure of 0.6 to 0.8 MPa and the volume percentage of environmentally friendly insulating gas k not exceeding 15%.

[0067] An environmentally friendly mixed gas is filled into switchgear such as circuit breakers that have the function of generating an electric arc during interruption. The switching equipment is subjected to interruption and closing tests in accordance with GB1984-2014 "High Voltage AC Circuit Breakers". The test current is 1 to 10 kA. The gas pressure and the volume ratio of environmentally friendly insulating gas are changed. The waveforms of arc voltage u and arc current i generated under each test condition are detected, as well as the changes in gas pressure P and temperature T in the arc extinguishing chamber. The arc conductivity g = i / u and its rate of change with respect to time dg / dt are calculated.

[0068] Using the experimentally detected u and i, and the calculated g and dg / dt, and substituting them into the Mayr arc model, the expression is as follows:

[0069]

[0070] In the formula, θ and Q are the arc time constant and energy dissipation coefficient, respectively. The arc voltage u and arc current i waveforms within 50 μs before the arc current crosses zero are fitted, and the corresponding g and dg / dt are substituted into equation (1) to calculate θ and Q.

[0071] Referring to the transient recovery voltage requirements characterized by the four-parameter method in GB 1984-2014 "High Voltage AC Circuit Breakers", recovery voltages u with different rise rates RRRV are applied and substituted into equation (1) to calculate the post-arc current i after the arc current crosses zero. If the instantaneous value of current i drops to no more than 1mA within 20μs after crossing zero, it indicates that the post-arc thermal recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas meets the breaking requirements, and the corresponding recovery voltage rise rate RRRV value is obtained.

[0072] If the post-arc current i does not meet the requirements, it is necessary to change the gas pressure of the environmentally friendly mixed gas or the volume ratio of the environmentally friendly insulating gas, and repeat steps (2) to (4).

[0073] Based on the fact that environmentally friendly mixed gases possess post-arc thermal recovery performance that meets the interruption requirements, and utilizing the detected gas pressure P and temperature T distribution within the arc-extinguishing chamber, the pressure P at which the gas thermal recovery within the arc-extinguishing chamber ends is obtained when the post-arc current drops to less than 1 mA. e and temperature T e .

[0075]

[0076] In the formula, N is the number of particles, k is the volume percentage of the environmentally friendly insulating gas, and E / N is the reduced discharge field strength (Td). Setting equation (2) to zero, the critical reduced discharge field strength (E / N) is calculated. c .

[0077] Using the ideal gas law, the expression is:

[0078] P e V = NRT e (3)

[0079] In the formula, V is the volume of the arc-extinguishing chamber, and R is a constant of 8.31 J / (mol·K). Combined with the pressure P... e and temperature T e N is calculated using equation (3), and then substituted into equation (2) to obtain the critical discharge field strength E. c .

[0080] Apply the system operating voltage to the switching equipment and calculate the electric field distribution E inside the arc-extinguishing chamber. a If E at each point in the arc-extinguishing chamber a All are not less than E c This indicates that the post-arc electrical recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas meets the breaking requirements; otherwise, the E in the arc-extinguishing chamber needs to be improved. a Less than E c The structural design of the components enables the hot environmentally friendly mixed gas to have electrical recovery performance that meets the requirements for interruption.

[0081] Therefore, by filling the environmentally friendly mixed gas into a switchgear with arc-generating breaking function and conducting experiments, the post-arc current after the switchgear breaks was calculated, and the thermal recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas was determined based on whether it met the requirements. Based on this, the critical electric field distribution in the arc-extinguishing chamber of the switchgear was calculated to determine whether the gas would undergo electrical breakdown under the action of the recovery voltage, and the electrical recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas was analyzed. Thus, the post-arc recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas switchgear was understood, and an optimized design scheme for the gas pressure and volume ratio of the mixed gas with breaking capability, as well as the arc-extinguishing chamber structure, was proposed, providing a basis and guidance for the research and development of environmentally friendly gas switchgear.

[0083] The environmentally friendly mixed gas is filled into a switchgear with an arc-generating function. An arc-generating test is performed on the switchgear to determine the test current. The gas pressure and the volume ratio of the environmentally friendly insulating gas are changed. The changes in arc voltage u, arc current i, gas pressure P and temperature T in the arc-extinguishing chamber are detected under each test condition. The arc conductivity g = i / u and its rate of change with respect to time dg / dt are calculated.

[0084] Optionally, the arc voltage, arc current, arc conductance, and their rate of change with respect to time are substituted into the arc model to calculate the post-arc current after the arc current crosses zero. Based on the post-arc current, it is determined whether the post-arc thermal recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas meets the breaking requirements, including:

[0085] Substituting the experimentally detected arc voltage u, arc current i, and calculated arc conductance g and its rate of change with respect to time dg / dt into the Mayr arc model, the expression is as follows:

[0086]

[0087] In the formula, θ and Q are the arc time constant and energy dissipation coefficient, respectively. The arc voltage u and arc current i waveforms within 50 μs before the arc current crosses zero are fitted, and the corresponding g and dg / dt are substituted into formula (1) to calculate θ and Q.

[0088] By applying recovery voltages u with different rise rates and substituting them into the arc model, the post-arc current i after the arc current crosses zero can be calculated.

[0089] If the instantaneous value of the post-arc current i drops to a value greater than the predetermined value within a predetermined time after crossing zero, change the gas pressure of the environmentally friendly mixed gas or the volume ratio of the environmentally friendly insulating gas, and re-perform the opening and closing tests on the switchgear.

[0090] If the instantaneous value of the post-arc current i drops to no more than a predetermined value within a predetermined time after crossing zero, it is determined that the post-arc thermal recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas meets the breaking requirements, and the corresponding recovery voltage rise rate value is obtained.

[0091] Optionally, if the post-arc thermal recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas meets the breaking requirements, the net ionization coefficient of the environmentally friendly mixed gas is determined based on the gas pressure and temperature in the arc extinguishing chamber, and the critical discharge field strength is obtained based on the net ionization coefficient, including:

The expression is:

[0093]

[0094] In the formula, N is the number of particles, k is the volume ratio of the environmentally friendly insulating gas, and E / N is the reduced discharge field strength (Td). Setting equation (2) to zero, the critical reduced discharge field strength (E / N) is calculated. c ,

[0095] Ideal gas law, expression:

[0096] P e V = NRT e (3)

[0097] In the formula, V is the volume of the arc-extinguishing chamber, R is a constant of 8.31 J / (mol·K), and the combined pressure P e and temperature T e N is calculated using equation (3), and then substituted into equation (2) to obtain the critical discharge field strength E. c .

[0098] Optionally, applying a system operating voltage to the switching equipment, calculating the electric field distribution inside the arc-extinguishing chamber, and comparing the critical discharge field strength with that based on the electric field distribution to determine whether the post-arc electric recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas meets the breaking requirements, includes: applying a system operating voltage to the switching equipment and calculating the electric field distribution inside the arc-extinguishing chamber;

[0099] If the electric field distribution at every point in the arc-extinguishing chamber is not less than the critical discharge field strength, the post-arc electric recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas is determined to meet the breaking requirements.

[0100] Otherwise, improve the structural design of the parts of the arc-extinguishing chamber where the electric field distribution is less than the critical discharge field strength, so that the hot environmentally friendly mixed gas has the electrical recovery performance to meet the breaking requirements.

[0101] Therefore, by filling the environmentally friendly mixed gas into a switchgear with arc-generating breaking function and conducting experiments, the post-arc current after the switchgear breaks was calculated, and the thermal recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas was determined based on whether it met the requirements. Based on this, the critical electric field distribution in the arc-extinguishing chamber of the switchgear was calculated to determine whether the gas would undergo electrical breakdown under the action of the recovery voltage, and the electrical recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas was analyzed. Thus, the post-arc recovery performance of the environmentally friendly mixed gas switchgear was understood, and an optimized design scheme for the gas pressure and volume ratio of the mixed gas with breaking capability, as well as the arc-extinguishing chamber structure, was proposed, providing a basis and guidance for the research and development of environmentally friendly gas switchgear.
