Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic voltage transformers, and particularly relates to a PTC resistance selection method for overvoltage suppression of an electromagnetic voltage transformer. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key device in power systems, electromagnetic voltage transformers are widely used in fields such as voltage measurement, relay protection and electric energy metering. With the continuous expansion of the power grid scale and the sustained growth of electricity demand, power systems are facing more complex operating environments and higher reliability requirements. Under this background, the overvoltage suppression performance of electromagnetic voltage transformers becomes particularly important.

[0003] Traditional electromagnetic voltage transformers mainly rely on their own impedance characteristics and magnetic saturation effects to suppress overvoltage. However, this passive approach often reacts too slowly and has limited suppression effect when facing transient overvoltage. In particular, in the event of short-circuit faults, lightning strikes or switch operations in power systems, high-amplitude, rapidly changing overvoltages can cause serious distortion of the secondary side voltage of the transformer, and even damage the measuring instruments and protection devices connected thereto.

[0004] In order to improve the overvoltage suppression effect, some existing technologies use non-linear resistors, metal oxide arresters and other protection elements. These methods have improved the overvoltage resistance of the transformer to some extent, but also have some limitations. For example, the response speed of non-linear resistors is slow, making it difficult to effectively suppress rapidly rising transient overvoltages; although metal oxide arresters respond quickly, their protection characteristics are fixed and difficult to optimize and adjust according to different working conditions.

[0005] On the other hand, with the development of smart grids, higher requirements are placed on the measurement accuracy and dynamic response of voltage transformers. However, existing overvoltage protection schemes often affect the measurement accuracy of the transformer, especially in normal operating conditions, which can introduce additional non-linear errors.

[0006] In addition, the overvoltage protection schemes in existing technologies mostly use empirical design methods, lacking systematic and quantitative optimization processes. This results in the selection and parameter setting of protection elements in actual applications often requiring long-term testing and adjustment, which not only consumes time and effort, but also makes it difficult to adapt to different types of transformers and diverse application scenarios.

[0195] S90, according to the obtained optimal PTC resistance parameters, select the model closest in characteristics from the existing PTC resistance products as the final overvoltage suppression resistance selection result.

[0196] The specific embodiments of the above steps are described in detail as follows:

[0197] The specific embodiment of step S10 is: first, according to the rated voltage and rated current of the electromagnetic voltage transformer, the voltage and current range of the PTC resistance is preliminarily determined. Generally, the rated voltage of the PTC resistance should be not less than 1.5 times the rated voltage of the secondary side of the transformer, and the rated current should be not less than 1.2 times the rated current of the secondary side of the transformer. Secondly, the temperature coefficient, Curie temperature and power density of the PTC resistance are considered. The temperature coefficient is usually between 0.01 and 0.1 / ℃, the Curie temperature should be higher than 50-100℃ of the normal working temperature of the transformer, and the power density is generally 0.1-1 W / cm 3The range of PTC resistance values is usually between 0.1 and 10 times the load impedance on the secondary side of the transformer. Finally, at least 5 PTC resistance samples with different parameter combinations are selected from different manufacturers to ensure sufficient samples for subsequent testing and optimization. The purpose of this step is to provide diversified PTC resistance samples for subsequent testing and optimization, so as to find the most suitable parameter combination.

[0198] The specific implementation of step S20 is as follows: First, the selected PTC resistance is respectively installed on the secondary side of the electromagnetic voltage transformer in series with the secondary winding. Then, the transformer is connected to a standard voltage source and a standard load, and the voltage source output is set to the rated primary voltage of the transformer. Next, the primary side voltage, secondary side voltage, primary side current, secondary side current, output power and power factor of the transformer are measured using high-precision voltmeter, ammeter and power analyzer. At the same time, the harmonic content of voltage and current is measured using a harmonic analyzer. For overvoltage voltage and overvoltage duration, a high-speed oscilloscope is used to record the voltage waveform on the secondary side by instantaneously applying 1.2 times the rated voltage on the primary side and quickly returning to the rated voltage. In addition, the resistance value of the PTC resistance at different temperatures is measured using a precision resistance tester, so as to obtain its normal temperature resistance value, temperature coefficient and Curie temperature. The voltage coefficient can be determined by measuring the resistance value at different voltages, and the power density can be calculated according to the physical size of the PTC resistance and the maximum allowed power consumption. All measurements are repeated at least 3 times, and the average value is taken as the final recorded data. The purpose of this step is to establish a comprehensive baseline data set to provide reliable input for subsequent modeling and optimization.

[0199] The specific implementation of step S30 is as follows: First, the electromagnetic voltage transformer is placed in a controllable temperature and humidity environment chamber, and the initial environment temperature is set to 20℃ and the relative humidity is set to 50%. Then, using a programmable power supply, the voltage is gradually increased from the rated primary voltage of the transformer at an amplitude of 5% per step until it reaches 150% of the rated voltage. At each voltage level, keep stable for 5 minutes, then record all electrical parameters. For overvoltage parameters, at each voltage level, an additional voltage spike with a duration of 100ms and an amplitude of 1.2 times the current voltage is applied, and the overvoltage peak value and duration are recorded. At the same time, the temperature change of the PTC resistance is monitored in real time using an infrared thermal imager, and the steady-state temperature at each voltage level is recorded. Repeat the above process, but set the environment temperature to 0℃, 40℃ and 60℃ respectively to investigate the effect of temperature on system performance. Finally, all the measured data are arranged into a data table, including all electrical parameters, overvoltage parameters and PTC resistance parameters under different environment temperatures and voltage levels. The purpose of this step is to obtain comprehensive performance data of the system under different working conditions, providing rich experimental basis for subsequent mathematical modeling.

[0225] 6. The overvoltage response equation is specifically expressed as:

[0271] The purpose of this step is to establish a comprehensive mathematical model to provide a theoretical basis for subsequent parameter fitting and optimization.

[0272] The specific implementation of step S50 is: first, divide the experimental data obtained in steps S20 and S30 into two groups: normal operation data and pressure increase operation data. Then, use the least squares method to fit the unknown parameters in the operation equation group. Specifically, for the voltage equation, the fitting parameters include mutual inductance M and distributed capacitance C s ; for the current equation, the fitting parameters include core loss equivalent resistance R c and magnetizing reactance X m ; for the power equation, mainly verify the consistency of the calculated value and the measured value; for the temperature equation, the fitting parameters include thermal conductivity coefficient h and core loss coefficient k h , k e ; for the PTC resistance characteristic equation, the fitting parameters include temperature coefficient α, voltage coefficient β and dynamic response coefficient γ; for the overvoltage response equation, the fitting parameters include decay time constant τ and overvoltage coefficient k ovThe Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, which combines the advantages of gradient descent and Gauss-Newton methods, is used for nonlinear least squares fitting, which can effectively handle nonlinear problems. To improve the accuracy of the fitting, the cross-validation method is used to randomly divide the data set into a training set (80%) and a validation set (20%), repeat the fitting process several times, and take the average result as the final parameter value. At the same time, the confidence interval of each parameter is calculated to evaluate the reliability of the fitting. Finally, the fitted equation set is used to predict the validation set data, and the root mean square error (RMSE) and the determination coefficient (R2) are calculated to evaluate the overall performance of the model. If the RMSE is large or the R2 is small, the model structure needs to be reconsidered or more experimental data needs to be added. The purpose of this step is to obtain a mathematical model that can accurately describe the system behavior through data fitting, providing a reliable foundation for the subsequent optimization process.

[0273] The specific implementation of step S60 is as follows: First, based on the fitted operating equation set, a comprehensive evaluation model is constructed. This model takes the overvoltage V ov and the overvoltage duration t ov as the main evaluation indicators, while considering other important factors such as the accuracy, loss, and temperature rise of the transformer. Define a comprehensive score function F: F = w1f(V ov ) + w2g(t ov ) + w3h(ε) + w4i(P loss ) + w5j(ΔT), where f, g, h, i, j are the scoring functions for overvoltage, overvoltage duration, transformer accuracy, loss, and temperature rise, and w1 to w5 are the corresponding weight coefficients. The scoring function uses a sigmoid-type function, for example where k is the steepness coefficient, V th is the desired overvoltage threshold. Similarly, define the corresponding scoring functions for other indicators. The initial values of the weight coefficients can be set according to expert experience, for example, w1 = 0.3, w2 = 0.3, w3 = 0.2, w4 = 0.1, w5 = 0.1. Then, use the Monte Carlo simulation method to randomly generate a large number of samples (such as 10000) within the possible value range of the PTC resistance parameters, and calculate the comprehensive score F for each sample. By analyzing the scoring distribution of these samples, the sensitivity of the PTC resistance parameters to the system performance can be obtained. Next, use the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to construct the approximate relationship between the PTC resistance parameters and the scoring function. Select the Central Composite Design (CCD) as the experimental design method, and select appropriate sampling points in the PTC resistance parameter space. Perform simulation calculations on these sampling points to obtain the corresponding scoring values. Then use a second-order polynomial model to fit the response surface: Where x i The parameters representing the PTC resistor, b0, b i b ii and b ij These are the undetermined coefficients. These coefficients are determined using the least squares method. Finally, the significance and goodness of fit of the model are tested using analysis of variance (ANOVA). If the model is not accurate enough, a higher-order polynomial or other nonlinear model can be considered. This evaluation model will serve as the objective function for subsequent optimization processes. The purpose of this step is to establish a mathematical model that can comprehensively evaluate the performance of the PTC resistor, providing a reliable evaluation criterion for subsequent parameter optimization.

[0274] The specific implementation of step S70 is as follows: First, define the chromosome encoding scheme used in the genetic algorithm. Each chromosome represents a set of PTC resistance parameters, including the room temperature resistance value R0 and the Curie temperature T. c Temperature coefficient α, voltage coefficient β, and power density P d The system uses real-number encoding, where each parameter is represented by a real number. For example, the chromosome structure is [R0, T]. s , α, β, P a The parameter range is set as follows: R0 is between 1Ω and 1000Ω, T... s Between 80℃ and 200℃, α is between 0.01 / ℃ and 0.1 / ℃, and β is between 10... -6 V -2 Up to 10 -4 V -2 Between, P a At 0.1W / cm 3 Up to 1W / em 3 between.

[0275] Secondly, define the fitness function. The overvoltage suppression effect evaluation model established in step S60 is used as the basis for the fitness function, but normalization is required to ensure comparability between different indicators. The fitness function can be expressed as: Where F is the output value of the evaluation model. This processing converts the evaluation score into a fitness value between 0 and 1, with a lower evaluation score indicating a higher fitness.

[0276] Next, set the parameters of the genetic algorithm. Set the population size to 100; this value is large enough to provide sufficient genetic diversity without causing excessive computation. Set the crossover probability to 0.8; this relatively high probability is beneficial for generating new superior individuals. Set the mutation probability to 0.1; this moderate probability introduces a certain degree of randomness while maintaining population stability. Set the maximum number of iterations to 1000; this value is usually sufficient for the algorithm to converge to a good solution.

[0277] Next, an initial population is generated. The PTC resistances of the multiple different parameters selected in step S10 are used as part of the population, and the remaining individuals are supplemented by randomly generating within the parameter value range to ensure the diversity of the initial population.

[0278] After that, the main loop of the genetic algorithm is executed:

[0279] 1. Evaluation: Calculate the fitness value for each individual in the population.

[0280] 2. Selection: Select parent individuals using roulette wheel selection. This method gives higher probability of selection to individuals with higher fitness, but does not completely exclude individuals with lower fitness, helping to maintain population diversity.

[0281] 3. Crossover: Perform crossover operation on selected parent individuals. Arithmetic crossover method is used, that is, weighted average of parameters of parent individuals: Child = aParent1 + (1-a)Parent2, where a is a random number between 0 and 1. This method can produce new individuals between parents, which is beneficial for local search.

[0282] 4. Mutation: Perform mutation operation on the offspring individuals after crossover. Gaussian mutation is used, that is, a random number following normal distribution is added to the original parameter value: Param new = Param old +N(0,σ), where σ is the standard deviation, which can be set to 5% of the parameter value range. This mutation method can explore a small range in parameter space.

[0283] 5. Elite preservation: Copy the top 2% of individuals in the current population directly to the next generation to ensure that the optimal solution is not lost during evolution.

[0284] 6. Update population: Replace the old population with newly generated offspring.

[0285] 7. Check termination condition: If the maximum number of iterations is reached or the optimal solution has not improved significantly (improvement less than 1%) for 50 consecutive generations, terminate the algorithm; otherwise, return to step 1 to continue iteration.

[0286] Finally, record the convergence process of the algorithm and the optimal PTC resistance parameters obtained. The purpose of this step is to efficiently search for the optimal combination of PTC resistance parameters in a vast parameter space through simulated evolution, in order to achieve the best overvoltage suppression effect.

[0287] The specific implementation of step S80 is: first, obtain the optimal PTC resistance parameters output by the genetic algorithm, including room temperature resistance value R0, Curie temperature T stemperature coefficient a, voltage coefficient b, and power density P a Then, using these parameters, the overvoltage suppression effect evaluation model is recalculated to obtain the theoretically optimal overvoltage suppression effect and overvoltage duration.

[0288] Next, a sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the degree of influence of each parameter on the final result. The specific method is to change the value of only one parameter (within its allowed range ±10%) based on the optimal parameters, and observe the change in the output result. The sensitivity coefficient of each parameter is calculated: where F is the output of the evaluation model, x i is the i-th parameter. The greater the absolute value of the sensitivity coefficient, the more significant the influence of the parameter on the result.

[0289] Then, a Monte Carlo simulation is performed to evaluate the stability of the optimal solution. A small range (such as ±5%) around the optimal parameters is randomly generated 1000 sets of parameter combinations, and the evaluation model output of these combinations is calculated. The results of the 1000 simulations are statistically analyzed to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and 95% confidence interval. If the standard deviation is small (such as less than 5% of the mean), it indicates that the optimal solution has good stability.

[0290] Next, cross-validation is performed to evaluate the generalization ability of the optimal solution. The experimental data obtained in steps S20 and S30 are randomly divided into 5 parts, and 4 parts of the data are used to re-execute steps S40 to S70 to obtain a new set of optimal parameters. The remaining 1 part of the data is used to verify the performance of this set of parameters. Repeat this process 5 times, each time using a different subset of data as the validation set. Compare the results of the 5 cross-validations, and if the coefficient of variation (standard deviation divided by mean) of the results is less than 10%, it is considered that the optimal solution has good generalization ability.

[0291] Finally, limit condition testing is performed to evaluate the performance of the optimal solution in extreme situations. Several extreme working conditions are simulated, such as the highest working temperature, the maximum allowed voltage, the maximum load current, etc., and the overvoltage suppression effect under these conditions is calculated. If the overvoltage suppression effect still meets the design requirements (such as the overvoltage voltage not exceeding 1.2 times the rated voltage, and the overvoltage duration not exceeding 100ms) under all extreme conditions, it is considered that the optimal solution has good robustness.

[0292] The purpose of this step is to comprehensively evaluate the performance and reliability of the optimal PTC resistance parameters obtained by the genetic algorithm, ensuring that it is not only theoretically optimal, but also maintains stable and reliable performance in actual application.

[0293] The specific implementation of step S90 is as follows: first, according to the optimal PTC resistance parameters obtained in step S80, the target value and the allowable deviation of the key parameters are determined. For example, the target value of the normal temperature resistance value R0 is 52.7Ω, and the allowable deviation is ±5%; the target value of the Curie temperature T s is 125℃, and the allowable deviation is ±10℃; the target value of the temperature coefficient a is 0.065 / ℃, and the allowable deviation is ±10%; the target value of the voltage coefficient b is 5×10 -5 V -2 , and the allowable deviation is ±20%; the target value of the power density P a is 0.5W / cm 3 , and the allowable deviation is ±15%.

[0294] Then, a PTC resistance product database is established. This database contains product models and detailed parameters of major PTC resistance manufacturers on the market. Data can be collected in the following ways: 1) from the official website and product manual of the manufacturer; 2) contact the manufacturer directly to ask for the latest product data; 3) use web crawler technology to collect information from electronic component distributors' websites. Each record in the database should contain the following fields: manufacturer, model, normal temperature resistance value, Curie temperature, temperature coefficient, voltage coefficient, power density, maximum working voltage, maximum working current, volume, price, etc.

[0295] Next, a parameter matching algorithm is developed. The goal of this algorithm is to find the actual product closest to the optimal parameters in the product database. The weighted Euclidean distance can be used as a similarity measure:

[0296]

[0297] where x i is the i-th parameter of the actual product, is the i-th parameter of the optimal parameter, w i is the weight of the i-th parameter. The weight can be set according to the importance and sensitivity of the parameter, for example, the weight of the normal temperature resistance value and the Curie temperature can be set to 0.3, the weight of the temperature coefficient can be set to 0.2, and the weight of the voltage coefficient and the power density can be set to 0.1 each.

[0298] Then, the parameter matching process is executed:

[0299] 1. Calculate the weighted Euclidean distance between each product in the database and the optimal parameters.

[0300] 2. Sort the products by distance from small to large.

[0301] 3. Select the top 10 products with the smallest distance as candidates.

[0302] 4. Detailed evaluation of the 10 candidate products, including:

[0303] a) Calculate their overvoltage suppression effect using the evaluation model established in step S60.

[0304] b) Check if their maximum operating voltage and maximum operating current meet the application requirements.

[0305] c) Consider whether their volume meets the installation space limitations of the transformer.

[0306] 5. Select the best PTC resistor product by considering the above factors.

[0307] The purpose of this step is to convert the theoretically optimal PTC resistor parameters into actual product selection, ensuring that the finally selected PTC resistor can both maximize the theoretical optimal performance and meet the various requirements of practical applications. Through this method, the best balance between theoretical optimization and practical application can be found, providing the most suitable overvoltage suppression solution for electromagnetic voltage transformers.

[0308] This method covers the whole process from initial selection, experimental testing, mathematical modeling, parameter optimization to final product selection. It comprehensively uses electromagnetic theory, thermodynamic principles, mathematical modeling, optimization algorithms and engineering practice, aiming to find the best overvoltage suppression solution for electromagnetic voltage transformers. The advantage of this method is that it not only considers theoretical optimality, but also takes into account various constraints of practical applications, achieving a good balance between performance and reliability. Through this systematic, data-driven method, the overvoltage suppression capability of electromagnetic voltage transformers can be significantly improved, enhancing their reliability and stability under various working conditions.

[0309] Specifically, the principle of the present application is: through a systematic modeling, optimization and verification process, the most suitable positive temperature coefficient resistor parameters for a specific electromagnetic voltage transformer are found. The key to this method to effectively solve the overvoltage suppression problem lies in the following aspects:

[0310] Firstly, the characteristics of positive temperature coefficient resistor are highly matched with the overvoltage suppression requirements. The characteristic of positive temperature coefficient resistor that its resistance value increases sharply when the temperature rises enables it to quickly respond when overvoltage occurs, limiting the current rise and thus suppressing overvoltage. At the same time, when the voltage returns to normal, the positive temperature coefficient resistor can quickly cool down and restore to low resistance state, without affecting the normal operation of the transformer. This adaptive characteristic is the basis for this method to effectively solve the overvoltage problem.

[0311] Secondly, the method establishes a comprehensive and accurate mathematical model, including voltage equations, current equations, power equations, temperature equations, positive temperature coefficient resistance characteristic equations, and overvoltage response equations. These equations comprehensively describe the working characteristics of electromagnetic voltage transformers and positive temperature coefficient resistors and their interactions. Through such detailed modeling, the method can accurately predict the system's response under different parameters, providing a reliable theoretical basis for subsequent optimization processes.

[0312] Thirdly, the method adopts a multi-step and multi-level optimization strategy. From the initial parameter range determination to the response surface method for constructing the evaluation model, and then to the genetic algorithm for global optimization, each step is carefully designed to ensure that the global optimal solution can be found in the complex parameter space. In particular, the genetic algorithm simulates the mechanism of biological evolution, enabling the method to effectively avoid local optima while having strong robustness and adaptability.

[0313] Fourthly, the method focuses on the combination of theory and practice. Through extensive experimental data collection and analysis, the accuracy and reliability of the model are ensured. At the same time, various constraints in actual engineering are considered in the optimization process, such as the market availability of positive temperature coefficient resistors, cost factors, etc., making the final selection result both theoretically optimal and practically feasible.

[0314] Fifthly, the method uses a variety of advanced mathematical tools and algorithms. For example, least squares method for parameter fitting, response surface method for constructing evaluation model, Monte Carlo method for sensitivity analysis, etc. The comprehensive use of these methods ensures the scientificity and reliability of the selection process.

[0315] In addition, the logicality of the method is reflected in its rigorous step design. From initial parameter selection, data collection, model establishment, parameter optimization, to result verification, each step is closely connected, forming a complete closed loop. This systematic approach not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of the selection, but also makes the entire process traceable and reproducible, which is conducive to the continuous improvement and application of the method.

[0316] It is worth noting that the method also considers various influencing factors of positive temperature coefficient resistors in actual applications, such as environmental temperature, load changes, etc. By simulating various working conditions in experimental design and considering these factors in the optimization process, the method ensures the reliability and stability of the selection results in actual applications.

[0317] Finally, the method not only focuses on static performance, but also ensures the effectiveness of the selection results under various working conditions through dynamic response analysis and limit condition testing. This comprehensive consideration enables the positive temperature coefficient resistors selected by the method to perform optimally in actual operation, truly solving the overvoltage problem of electromagnetic voltage transformers.

[0318] In summary, the method of the present application combines electromagnetism theory, thermodynamic principles, optimization algorithms and engineering practices to build a scientific, systematic and reliable PTC resistor selection method.

[0319] To better understand and implement the present application, an example of a specific application scenario of the present application is provided below: A certain power enterprise is upgrading the voltage transformer system of its 110kV substation, and the enterprise hopes to select appropriate PTC resistors to improve the overvoltage suppression capability of the electromagnetic voltage transformer, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the system. The enterprise decides to use the method of the present application to select the optimal PTC resistor.

[0320] Step 1: Select multiple PTC resistors with different parameters

[0321] The engineers of the power enterprise selected five PTC resistors with different parameters from the market, labeled as A, B, C, D and E. The initial parameters of these PTC resistors are shown in Table 1:

[0322] Table 1 Initial parameters of PTC resistors

[0323]

[0324] Step 2: Record normal operation data

[0325] The engineers installed these five PTC resistors on five 110kV / 100V electromagnetic voltage transformers of the same model, and recorded the electrical parameters and PTC resistor parameters under normal operating conditions. Here is a set of normal operation data (using PTC resistor A):

[0326] Electrical parameters: primary side voltage: 110kV; secondary side voltage: 100V; primary side current: 0.05A; secondary side current: 55A; output power: 5.5kVA; power factor: 0.98; harmonic content: 1.2%; overvoltage: 0kV (no overvoltage during normal operation); overvoltage duration: 0s (no overvoltage during normal operation).

[0327] PTC resistor A parameters: room temperature resistance: 10Ω; Curie temperature: 120℃; temperature coefficient: 16% / K; voltage coefficient: 0.015V^-2; power density: 1.2W / cm^3.

[0328] Step 3: Record overvoltage operation data

[0329] Next, the engineers simulated different levels of overvoltage by adjusting the operating environment of the voltage transformer. Starting from 110kV and increasing in steps of 5kV up to 130kV, they recorded electrical parameters, overvoltage parameters, and PTC resistance parameters at each voltage level. Here are some data from using PTC resistance A at 125kV:

[0330] Electrical parameters: Primary voltage: 125kV; Secondary voltage: 113.6V; Primary current: 0.057A; Secondary current: 62.5A; Output power: 7.1kVA; Power factor: 0.96; Harmonic content: 1.8%; Overvoltage: 15kV; Overvoltage duration: 0.5s.

[0331] PTC resistance A parameters: Current resistance value: 25Ω; Current temperature: 135°C; Actual temperature coefficient: 18% / K; Actual voltage coefficient: 0.018V^-2; Actual power density: 1.8W / cm^3.

[0332] Step 4: Establishing the operating equation set

[0333] Based on the collected data, the engineers established an electromagnetic voltage transformer operating equation set that takes into account electrical parameters, overvoltage parameters, and PTC resistance parameters. This equation set includes voltage equations, current equations, power equations, temperature equations, PTC resistance characteristic equations, and overvoltage response equations.

[0334] Step 5: Fitting the operating equation set parameters

[0335] Using the collected normal operation data and increased voltage operation data, the engineers fitted the parameters of the operating equation set using the least squares method. During the fitting process, professional mathematical software was used to handle complex nonlinear equation sets. After fitting, a set of equations was obtained that accurately describes the behavior of the voltage transformer and PTC resistance.

[0336] Step 6: Establishing an overvoltage suppression effect evaluation model

[0337] Based on the fitted operating equation set, the engineers established an overvoltage suppression effect evaluation model. This model takes overvoltage and overvoltage duration as the main evaluation indicators. Define a comprehensive score function:

[0338] Score = 100 - (0.5 * overvoltage / rated voltage * 100 + 0.5 * overvoltage duration / maximum allowed duration * 100)

[0339] Where the rated voltage is 110kV and the maximum allowed duration is 1s. The higher the score, the better the overvoltage suppression effect.

[0340] Step 7: Optimize PTC resistor parameters using a genetic algorithm

[0341] Engineers used a genetic algorithm to optimize the parameters of PTC resistors. The parameters of five initially selected PTC resistors were used as the initial population, and the following genetic algorithm parameters were set: population size: 50; crossover probability: 0.8; mutation probability: 0.1; number of iterations: 100.

[0342] The fitness value of each parameter group is calculated using the evaluation model established in step 6, with the goal of maximizing the score.

[0343] Step 8: Execute the genetic algorithm

[0344] The engineers executed a genetic algorithm and, after 100 iterations, obtained the optimal PTC resistor parameters: room temperature resistance: 18Ω; Curie temperature: 128℃; temperature coefficient: 19% / K; voltage coefficient: 0.019V^-2; power density: 1.7W / cm^3.

[0345] These parameters demonstrated the best overvoltage suppression effect in the simulation test, achieving a score of 92.

[0346] Step 9: Select the final PTC resistor

[0347] Based on the obtained optimal PTC resistor parameters, the engineers selected the model with the closest characteristics from existing PTC resistor products. They found a PTC resistor with the model number XYZ-18, whose parameters are as follows: room temperature resistance: 18Ω; Curie temperature: 130℃; temperature coefficient: 19% / K; voltage coefficient: 0.02V^-2; power density: 1.7W / cm^3.

[0348] The parameters of this PTC resistor are very close to the optimization results, and it was selected as the final overvoltage suppression resistor.

[0349] Validation and application:

[0350] To verify the actual effect of the selected PTC resistor, the engineers conducted a series of laboratory tests and field trials.

[0351] 1. Laboratory testing:

[0352] Engineers simulated various overvoltage scenarios in a laboratory environment, including lightning strikes, switching operations, and system failures. The effectiveness of using the optimized PTC resistor was compared with the original protection scheme. Table 2 below shows some of the test results:

[0355] 2. Field test:

[0356] After the good results in the laboratory tests, the engineers conducted a 3-month field test in a 110 kV substation. Ten voltage transformers were selected, of which five were installed with the optimized PTC resistors, and the other five remained with the original protection scheme as the control group. During the test period, all overvoltage events and their impacts were recorded. Table 3 below is a summary of the test results:

[0357] Table 3 Experimental results table

[0358] Indicator Original scheme New scheme Improvement effect Total number of overvoltage events 15 15 - Average overvoltage duration 12 ms 4 ms 66.7% Number of equipment trips 3 0 100% Equipment damage events 1 0 100% System stability improvement - - 35%

[0359] Conclusion: By applying the PTC resistor selection method of the present application, the power company successfully selected the optimal overvoltage suppression PTC resistor for the electromagnetic voltage transformer of its 110 kV substation. This method not only considers the complex relationship between electrical parameters, overvoltage parameters and PTC resistor parameters, but also realizes the global optimization of parameters through genetic algorithm. The laboratory tests and field tests show that the optimized PTC resistor significantly improves the overvoltage suppression capability of the voltage transformer, which can reduce the overvoltage duration by 60-70% on average. This not only improves the reliability and life of the equipment, but also greatly enhances the stability of the entire power system.

[0360] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
