Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of finite element calculation of circuit breakers, and in particular to a time step coordination method for solving large current arc breaking simulation. Background Art

[0002] In the arc simulation of large-capacity circuit breakers, turbulence is an important issue to consider. Turbulence is a more complex flow of fluid. As the flow rate of the fluid increases, laminar flow may turn into turbulent flow, and the movement of the fluid becomes complex and chaotic. Turbulent flow is crucial to the study of circuit breaker arc breaking. The various vortices formed by turbulence can make the arc unstable and change the arc shape, and also affect the energy transmission of the arc.

[0003] Although turbulence itself is complex, in the study of the calculation methods of turbulence models, it can be found that turbulence also follows some basic quantitative characteristics. At present, there are mainly direct and indirect numerical simulation methods in the methods of solving turbulence models. The direct numerical simulation method can capture subtle turbulent structures in the research, does not rely on other turbulence models and empirical formulas, reduces model errors and is suitable for in-depth analysis. However, its computational cost is very high, and the requirements for computer memory, storage and computing speed are extremely high, which is limited in practical applications. Therefore, indirect numerical simulation methods are still widely used in engineering research, mainly including two common models: Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model and large eddy simulation (LES) method. The large eddy simulation method separates large-scale vortices and small-scale vortices in time and space. The large-scale vortex is directly simulated by the NS equations, while the small-scale turbulence is approximated by the subgrid scale model (SGS). Although the large eddy simulation method has lower computational requirements than direct numerical simulation in the solution process, it still requires high-performance computing resources to meet the requirements for processing power, memory, storage and network. The RANS method has low requirements for computing resources and has achieved good results in practical engineering applications. The standard Ke two-equation model is the most commonly used turbulence model. However, the Ke model requires solving two partial differential equations at the same time, and has poor convergence and calculation accuracy for flow fields with extremely large gradients.

[0004] Therefore, in order to improve the design accuracy and performance of the circuit breaker, the present invention proposes a multi-physics field solution time step coordination method for finite element simulation. This method takes into account the turbulence that occurs during arc burning. For this phenomenon, the solution time step needs to be determined based on the current size and turbulence intensity. Through this comprehensive simulation, the performance and safety of the circuit breaker can be evaluated more accurately. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention is proposed.

The obtained value is set as the time step, and the iterative step takes a reasonable value for simulation. The subsequent steps are the same. After each time step is calculated, the next time step is calculated to set the simulation.

[0018] As a preferred solution of the time step coordination method for solving the large current arc breaking simulation of the present invention, wherein: the calculation of the second time step is expressed as,

[0019]

[0020] Among them, T Step,prediction Represents the second time step.

[0021] As a preferred solution of the time step coordination method for solving the large current arc breaking simulation of the present invention, the time step setting value finally required at the current moment is expressed as:

[0022] T Step,t+1 =T Step,prior +0.2×(T Step,prior -T Step,prediction )

[0023] Among them, T Step,t+1 Indicates the final time step setting value required at the current moment.

[0024] Another object of the present invention is to provide a time step coordination system for solving the simulation of large current breaking arcs. The arc model construction module provides an accurate mathematical model for the circuit breaker breaking process, which helps to deeply understand the physical characteristics of the arc and provide theoretical support for design optimization, ensuring the reliability and practicality of the simulation results. The characteristic value extraction module quickly and accurately identifies the key parameters of the arc and flow field, improving the interpretability and comparability of the simulation results. The initial turbulence coefficient calculation module provides a quantitative index of the initial turbulence characteristics for the simulation, enhances the model's ability to describe actual turbulence phenomena, and improves the accuracy of flow field calculation. The initial step calculation module ensures the stability and convergence of the simulation in the initial stage and avoids calculation divergence.

The iterative feature analysis module monitors the changes in arc characteristics in real time, provides feedback for simulation parameter adjustment, and helps to identify the dynamic changes in arc behavior. The flow coefficient update module improves the dynamic response capability of the simulation by capturing flow field changes. The time step optimization module dynamically adjusts the time step, balances computational efficiency and accuracy, reduces resource consumption, ensures the stability and accuracy of simulation results, and improves the flexibility and adaptability of the simulation process.

[0025] As a preferred solution of the time step coordination system for large current arc breaking simulation solution described in the present invention, it includes an arc model construction module, a characteristic value extraction module, an initial end flow coefficient calculation module, an initial step calculation module, an iterative simulation startup module, an iterative characteristic analysis module, a flow coefficient update module, and a time step optimization module.

[0026] A computer device comprises a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and is characterized in that when the processor executes the computer program, the steps of any one of the time step coordination methods for solving large current arc breaking simulation are implemented.

[0027] A computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, characterized in that when the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of any one of the time step coordination methods for solving large current arc breaking simulation are implemented.

[0028] Through the above formulas and derivations, the iterative calculation method of the present invention takes into account the influence of the arc generated by the large current and the turbulence intensity on the arc when the large-capacity circuit breaker breaks the current. In the finite element simulation solution of the circuit breaker breaking current under the action of multiple physical fields, the influence of the appearance of eddy currents is taken into account, and it is necessary to further calculate a more accurate time step to cooperate with the simulation solution. This technical solution improves the convergence and accuracy of the turbulence model. As the number of iterations increases, the calculation results will tend to the true solution. At the same time, with the cooperation of the present invention, the turbulence model can more accurately describe the random and complex movement of the fluid, which is very important for the analysis of arc behavior, and the converged turbulence model can be effectively coupled with other physical field models to provide reliable comprehensive analysis and prediction capabilities, which is of great significance to the overall design, optimization and engineering application of circuit breakers.

[0029] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0030] 1) Improve the convergence of the model: This method dynamically adjusts the time step according to the current current and turbulence intensity, so that when the turbulence intensity is high or the current changes dramatically, the time step is reduced, the calculation accuracy is increased, and the influence of the large gradient flow field is reduced, thereby improving the convergence. The current is obtained by combining the current waveform expression given in the simulation with the current time; the turbulence intensity is characterized by the turbulence coefficient in this patent, and the larger the turbulence coefficient, the greater the turbulence intensity. According to the calculation formula on the left, the more drastic the current change, the larger the turbulence coefficient. Substituting the larger turbulence coefficient into the time step calculation formula will result in a smaller time step.

[0031] 2) Improve model accuracy: This method introduces an iterative solution time step method, which calculates a smaller time step according to the turbulence intensity, thereby capturing the flow field characteristics more accurately and providing a more accurate solution. The time step is calculated according to the turbulence coefficient, that is, the time step size is adjusted by the turbulence intensity. Since the flow field changes dramatically under turbulence, a smaller time step, that is, a higher sampling rate, can obtain more accurate simulation results.

[0032] 3) Better handling of nonlinear problems: A finer time step can better capture the nonlinear characteristics of the arc, reduce the numerical error caused by nonlinear effects, reduce the truncation error, and make the solution closer to the true solution. The arc characteristic values ​​calculated under a smaller time step, such as temperature and conductivity, are more precise, reducing the possibility of inaccurate calculation results due to ignoring drastic changes, and the corresponding error is smaller.

[0033] 4) It is conducive to improving design and performance evaluation: through more accurate simulation, engineers can make better design optimization and performance evaluation. This helps to improve the reliability, safety and efficiency of high-voltage switch systems. Evaluation calculation refers to the more accurate simulation results obtained by optimizing the time step setting of arc simulation through this technology: such as more accurate zero-pre-conductance and post-arc voltage characteristics, etc. These results can help circuit breaker optimization and design.

[0064] T Step,t+1 =T Step,prior +0.2×(T Step,prior -T Step,prediction )

[0065] Through the above formulas and derivations, the iterative calculation method of the present invention takes into account the arc generated by the large current and the influence of the turbulence intensity on the arc when the large-capacity circuit breaker breaks the current. In the finite element simulation solution of the circuit breaker breaking current under the action of multiple physical fields, the influence of the appearance of eddy currents is taken into account, and it is necessary to further calculate a more accurate time step to cooperate with the simulation solution. The scheme improves the convergence and accuracy of the turbulence model. As the number of iterations increases, the calculation results will tend to the true solution. At the same time, with the cooperation of the present invention, the turbulence model can more accurately describe the random and complex movement of the fluid, which is very important for the analysis of arc behavior, and the converged turbulence model can be effectively coupled with other physical field models to provide reliable comprehensive analysis and prediction capabilities, which is of great significance to the overall design, optimization and engineering application of circuit breakers.

[0066] In the finite element simulation of the arc breaking of a large-capacity circuit breaker, the influence of turbulence on the arc is considered. Among the calculation methods of many turbulence models, the k-ε model is a mathematical model for turbulent flow simulation. Due to its relative simplicity and high computational efficiency, it is widely used in turbulence research. However, the k-ε model has low prediction accuracy for complex flow conditions such as strong gradient flow and separation flow, and its description ability is relatively weak for transient flow or rapidly changing flow conditions. This leads to inaccuracy in the simulation results and reduces the reliability of circuit breaker design.

[0067] Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the present invention proposes a time step coordination method for multi-physics field solution of finite element simulation. The method comprehensively considers the influence of turbulence on the arc during arc burning, and solves the turbulence coefficient adapted to the flow field characteristics according to the current turbulence intensity. A smaller time step is solved through an iterative algorithm. This can avoid numerical instability and oscillation when dealing with complex turbulence phenomena, help to improve the accuracy and convergence of the turbulence model, and help to improve the accuracy, stability and authenticity of the simulation, thereby playing an important role in the design and performance analysis of circuit breakers.

[0068] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0069] Circuit breaker: A circuit breaker is a switching device used to automatically cut off a circuit to protect electrical equipment and lines from damage caused by overload, short circuit, and other faults. It is commonly used in power systems to close, carry, and disconnect currents under normal or abnormal circuit conditions.

[0070] Finite element calculation: Finite element calculation is a method of completing numerical calculations based on finite element models. It is used to solve complex mathematical problems and complex engineering problems such as electromagnetic fields, fluid mechanics, and heat conduction. Finite element calculation is a method of completing numerical calculations based on finite element models. Its tasks include the formation of unit and overall matrices, the processing of boundary conditions, and the solution of characteristic equations. This method divides complex continua (such as solids, fluids, etc.) into finite small units (finite elements), performs numerical analysis on each unit, and finally summarizes the results to obtain the behavior of the entire system.

[0071] Turbulence: Turbulence is a complex flow state of fluid. Compared with laminar flow, turbulence has higher momentum, energy and material transfer efficiency. The formation of turbulence is usually related to the velocity, viscosity and characteristic scale of the fluid. When the flow rate of the fluid exceeds a certain critical value (usually related to the Reynolds number), laminar flow may turn into turbulent flow. There are many small vortices in the flow field that interact, merge and split in the flow. The speed and pressure of turbulence are highly random and volatile in space and time. Due to its strong stirring effect, the substances in the fluid can mix and spread quickly.

[0072] Time step: The time step refers to the discrete unit used to represent time in the computational model. In many scientific and engineering fields, such as the finite element calculation field involved in the present invention, the dynamic changes of the system are usually continuous, but computers can only process discrete data. Therefore, continuous time is divided into discrete time points for numerical calculations. If the time step is too large, important dynamic features may be ignored, thereby reducing the accuracy of the model and may even cause numerical instability. In order to improve the accuracy of the model, a smaller time step is required to cooperate with the solution. Of course, this will increase the amount of calculation and extend the calculation time.

[0073] Example 2, reference Figure 2 The second embodiment of the present invention provides a time step coordination method for solving large current arc breaking simulation;

[0074] The technical solution of the invention focuses on the convergence and accuracy of the turbulence model in the simulation of the breaking current of a large-capacity circuit breaker, so as to more accurately simulate the influence of turbulence on the arc during the operation of the circuit breaker breaking the current. The main key points are:

Time step for solving the turbulence model for circuit breaker breaking current simulation: The core of the present invention is to propose a unique iterative algorithm, which can simultaneously consider the current current size and turbulence intensity to solve a smaller time step to ensure the physical consistency of the model and improve the credibility of the simulation.

[0076] 2. Enhance the coupling between electromagnetic field and fluid field: The present invention introduces an iterative calculation method to obtain a smaller time step and enhance the coupling between electromagnetic field and fluid field. The combination of this method and the finite element method plays a key role in the simulation and provides an effective tool for more accurate simulation of turbulence effects.

[0077] 3. Improve stability and convergence: The present invention introduces a method for solving smaller time steps to deal with the instability of the numerical solution that may be caused by turbulent changes in the process of circuit breaker breaking current, reduce numerical oscillations, and make the simulation process more stable and convergent better.

[0078] 4. Turbulence coefficient adapted to flow field to optimize the selection of time step: The present invention proposes a turbulence coefficient adapted to flow field characteristics, which can more accurately describe the intensity of turbulence in the flow field, thereby dynamically adjusting the time step to capture the changing characteristics of the flow field, which helps to improve the accuracy and stability of the model.

[0079] The method of the present invention helps to improve the design of large-capacity circuit breakers and increases the accuracy of their performance evaluation, which is crucial to ensuring the reliability and safety of power systems.
