Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of transformer fault diagnosis and prediction, and in particular to a reactor fault equivalent experimental device based on a typical disaster simulation component of a transformer. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the electric power industry, as one of the important equipment in the power transmission and transformation system, the single capacity and voltage level of power transformers are also growing. However, while the power transformer manufacturing industry is developing rapidly and in line with international standards and the transformer capacity is getting larger and larger, transformer failures also occur from time to time, mainly in the form of short-circuit instability, local overheating and insulation breakdown. How to better solve these key scientific problems has become a research hotspot of great concern to scholars and engineering technicians at home and abroad. Due to the manufacturing process, impact during operation, equipment aging and other reasons, there may be some latent faults inside the transformer. Because the core components of the oil-immersed transformer are immersed in insulating oil for operation, any faults in these components can be reflected by the changes in the insulating oil. In particular, the changes in dissolved gas in the oil are more obvious and direct. At the same time, the destructive effect of local discharge in different parts on the insulation of the transformer is different. Therefore, accurately locating the location of partial discharge, accurately measuring the amount of partial discharge, and then evaluating the degree of damage to insulation are of great significance to ensuring the normal operation of power equipment and optimizing product design.

[0003] In this regard, some scholars have proposed a method of constructing a simulation experiment platform, and applying various excitations to the constructed simulation experiment platform to simulate various working conditions and fault conditions of actual transformers. In the current background technology, there are some patents and documents related to the research on the construction of transformer simulation experiment platforms. The closest prior art documents may contain content about the structural optimization method of transformer simulation experiment platforms, but there are still some urgent problems to be solved in the simulation of actual transformer faults. First, there is a lack of effective means to solve the different fault forms caused by the difference in structure between the simulation experiment platform and the actual transformer.

[0004] The difficulty in solving these problems mainly stems from the difference between the simulation experimental platform and the actual transformer structure, which makes it difficult to accurately simulate the fault during simulation. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new and more effective method to solve these problems and difficulties in transformer fault simulation. Summary of the invention

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a reactor fault equivalent experimental method based on a typical disaster simulation component of a transformer, the method comprising:

[0029] S1: Build typical transformer disaster simulation components;

[0030] S2: By adjusting the heating time, the voltage intensity applied to the electrodes and injecting metal particles into the transformer insulating oil, the local faults that occur during the operation of the actual transformer are simulated;

[0031] S3: Collect insulating oil samples when various local faults occur in transformer simulation components;

[0032] S4: Detect characteristic gases in each group of oil samples and analyze the oil samples under different fault conditions;

[0033] The method of building a typical transformer disaster simulation component specifically includes:

[0034] In order to simulate the overheating and discharge faults that transformer oil may encounter in actual work, a transformer simulation experimental platform was designed based on the structural parameters and physical model of the actual transformer, under the premise of comprehensively considering multiple physical fields such as temperature field, electric field, flow velocity field, etc. The experimental platform takes into account the basic functions and fault types of the actual transformer, and is mainly composed of the main oil channel, oil pump, temperature control unit, flow velocity control unit, ball-plate electrode and other parts.

[0035] The temperature control unit consists of a temperature sensor, a heating wire, an intelligent digital display temperature controller, etc., which can monitor and adjust the transformer oil temperature in the device in real time.

[0036] The flow rate control unit is mainly composed of an oil pump, which can drive the transformer oil to circulate in the system at a specific flow rate in the simulation experimental platform. The flow rate control system changes the oil pump speed through the frequency converter, which can realize continuous adjustment of the oil flow rate.

[0037] The ball-plate electrode includes a grounding globe electrode and a high-voltage flat plate electrode 3. The power supply unit is used to provide a test voltage for the high-voltage electrode. The electrode is connected to the flange, and two copper round nuts and a ball electrode are connected to the connecting electrode. The other side of the flange is connected to the flat plate electrode, and the other side is connected to two copper round nuts and an electrode on the flange (the needle electrode and the ball electrode are both grounding electrodes, but they can be switched at any time according to the experimental requirements. The flat plate electrode is a high-voltage electrode. Both electrodes will be connected to the flange and two copper round nuts (used to connect the high-voltage wire or the ground wire), which are clamped and fixed by two nuts).

[0038] Local faults include local overheating faults, local discharge faults and metal particle discharge faults.

[0039] When using the transformer simulation experimental platform to conduct a local overheating experiment, first turn on the power of the temperature control unit, and adjust the temperature control unit to simulate the situation when an overheating fault occurs inside the experimental platform, while regulating the fault temperature during the simulated overheating fault.

[0040] The temperature control unit consists of a temperature sensor, a heating wire, an intelligent digital display temperature controller, etc., which can monitor and adjust the transformer oil temperature in the device in real time.

[0041] When the partial discharge experiment is carried out using the transformer simulation experimental platform, an external high-voltage power supply is connected between the two copper round nuts under the flat electrode. The potential difference applied between the positive and negative electrodes is adjusted by adjusting the power supply voltage to generate a partial discharge phenomenon between the two electrodes, thereby simulating a transformer partial discharge fault, and the fault is monitored in real time using a measurement unit.

[0042] The measuring unit includes a pulse current sensor 4, an input adapter 5 and a digital partial discharge comprehensive analyzer 6 which are connected in sequence. The pulse current sensor 4 is connected to the grounding electrode, wherein the input adapter 5 is used to convert alternating current into direct current; the pulse current sensor 4 is used to detect the pulse current in the grounding wire of the grounding electrode when the simulation experimental platform generates partial discharge, and obtain the discharge amount; the digital partial discharge comprehensive analyzer 6 is used to display a discharge phase-discharge amount scatter diagram according to the discharge amount measured by the pulse current sensor 4.

[0043] When using the transformer simulation experimental platform to conduct a metal particle discharge experiment, 9g of iron particles with a diameter of 150μm are injected into the transformer oil through the oil inlet of the circulation device. The particle size reaches about 3600 particles per 100mL to effectively simulate the actual pollution level of the particles. Then, the transformer oil is made to flow in the device through the flow rate control unit to simulate the operation process of the actual transformer. The movement of the internal metal particles can be observed using an external observation system.

[0044] The flow rate control unit is mainly composed of an oil pump, which can drive the transformer oil to circulate in the system at a specific flow rate in the simulation experimental platform. The flow rate control system changes the oil pump speed through the frequency converter, which can realize continuous adjustment of the oil flow rate.

[0045] The external observation system is mainly composed of high-speed cameras with a maximum frame rate of 225,000 frames / s, macro lenses, uninterruptible power supplies, computers, high-speed network cables and other equipment and devices.

[0046] When shooting the movement of metal particles, it is necessary to ensure that the relative positions of the light source, the main oil channel and the high-speed camera are in a straight line, adjust the distance between the high-speed camera and the oil channel, fine-tune the lighting angle and the shooting angle, ensure that the camera's field of view is in the electrode gap, and that the outline of the metal particles in the focus area is clear and sharp, and the background color is uniform.

[0047] When collecting fault oil samples, use a glass needle connected to a hard plastic tube via a soft rubber tube to extend into the equipment from the oil filling port to collect 40 ml of oil sample for subsequent testing.

[0048] When collecting fault oil samples, the oil inlet end of the hard plastic tube should be placed in the center of the ball-plate electrode as much as possible.

[0049] For the three local fault types, several groups of experiments are set for each fault type.

[0050] All the oil samples obtained were tested for gas production, and the faulty oil samples were analyzed using the three-ratio method.

[0051] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the present invention provides a reactor fault equivalent experimental device based on a typical disaster simulation component of a transformer. By building a typical disaster simulation component of a transformer, various working conditions and fault conditions of an actual transformer can be more accurately simulated. When simulating actual transformer partial faults (including local overheating faults, local discharge faults, and metal particle discharge faults), the problem that the simulation experiment platform is difficult to accurately simulate faults is solved by optimizing the structure of the simulation experiment platform, and the simulation accuracy in specific fault scenarios is improved. The present invention provides a more reliable means for the accurate assessment of transformer faults, thereby providing effective support for the safe and stable operation of the power system.
