Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metallized film capacitor technology, and in particular to a method, system, dielectric, and device for assessing the health status of metallized film capacitors based on acoustic emission radio frequency domain characteristics. Background Technology
[0002] Metallized film capacitors, as key components in flexible DC transmission converter valves, provide functions such as reactive power compensation, voltage stability regulation, and power flow control, helping to optimize system stability and power quality while reducing transmission losses and improving system response speed and efficiency. Compared to traditional power capacitors, metallized film capacitors operate under more stringent conditions, with operating electric field strengths several times that of parallel AC capacitors and more than twice that of traditional DC filter capacitors, while also exhibiting higher harmonic content. They also require higher reliability and greater current carrying capacity.
[0003] For metallized film capacitors, IEC standard 60384-17 is used in engineering, with a 5% decrease in capacitance as the failure criterion. Therefore, the error in monitoring the capacitance value of metallized film capacitors cannot exceed 1%. Due to limitations in algorithms and equipment, many studies have struggled to achieve the required monitoring accuracy for metallized film capacitors, resulting in limited practical applications in engineering. Furthermore, some online monitoring methods can affect the system loop. For example, using injection methods to measure capacitance or ESR values introduces harmonics into the system, which is detrimental to stable operation. Therefore, researching more accurate online monitoring methods that minimize system impact is crucial for improving system reliability and safety.
[0004] The information disclosed in the background section is only for enhancing the understanding of the background of this invention, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Step S2: Obtain metallized film capacitors with different health conditions through accelerated aging experiments, disassemble the metallized film capacitors with different health conditions, connect them to the discharge ultrasonic monitoring experimental circuit, and fix the acoustic emission sensor.
[0009] Step S3: In the discharge ultrasonic DC monitoring experimental circuit, a DC voltage is applied across the metallized film capacitor, and the discharge ultrasonic signal of the metallized film capacitor is acquired by an oscilloscope within one hour.
[0010] Step S4: Perform frequency domain analysis on the discharge ultrasonic signal, statistically analyze the frequency range corresponding to the highest peak in the spectrum and the number of peaks, and classify them within each frequency domain feature;
[0011] Step S5: Calculate the proportion distribution of ultrasonic signal frequency domain features of the metallized film capacitor under different health conditions, obtain the relative change rate of the frequency domain feature proportion, and use a logistic regression model to predict the probability of capacitor failure, so as to realize online monitoring and assessment of the health status of the metallized film capacitor.
[0012] In the aforementioned method for assessing the health status of metallized film capacitors based on acoustic emission radio frequency domain characteristics, step S2 includes:
[0013] Step S2.1: In the accelerated aging test circuit, the test temperature was set to 65℃, the humidity to 45%RH, and the test voltage to 1.4U. N After each 12-hour aging cycle, the capacitance value of the metallized film capacitor is measured using a bridge circuit to obtain metallized film capacitors in different health states.
[0014] Step S2.2: After the metallized film capacitor has aged to different predetermined percentages of health, it is removed and connected to the discharge ultrasonic DC monitoring experimental circuit;
[0015] Step S2.3: Secure the acoustic emitter using an ultrasonic coupling agent and fasteners. The acoustic emitter is positioned at the ground terminal of the metallized film capacitor.

[0017] In the aforementioned method for assessing the health status of metallized film capacitors based on acoustic emission radio frequency domain characteristics, step S3 includes:
[0018] Step S3.1: Apply 1.4U to both ends of the metallized film capacitor. N The DC voltage was maintained, and the monitoring temperature of the discharge ultrasonic DC monitoring experimental circuit was kept constant at 20℃ and the humidity at 45%RH.
[0019] Step S3.2: After the pressure stabilizes, the discharge ultrasonic signal generated by the metallized film capacitor within one hour is acquired using an oscilloscope, and the corresponding data is saved.
[0020] In the aforementioned method for assessing the health status of metallized film capacitors based on acoustic emission radio frequency domain characteristics, step S4 includes:
[0021] Step S4.1: Perform Fourier transform analysis on the discharge ultrasonic signal to obtain the spectrum.

[0026] Step S5.2: Use a logistic regression model to build a predictive model for capacitor failure, using the relative rate of change as the input feature and the health status as the target variable. The predictive model outputs the probability P (Y=1) that each sample is in a failure state. The form of the predictive model is as follows:
[0027]
[0028] Where Y is a binary response variable representing the failure state (1 indicates failure, 0 indicates health), X1 and X2 are the relative rates of change of two frequency characteristics, β0 is the intercept term, and β1 and β2 are the coefficients of the characteristics.
[0029] Step S5.3: Set a discrimination threshold. During the monitoring process, the proportion of frequency domain features of the ultrasonic discharge signal is statistically analyzed and compared with historical data. The corresponding rate of change is calculated and the rate of change is used as input data into the prediction model to obtain the probability P(Y=1). By comparing this probability with the set threshold, the health status of the capacitor is judged. If P(Y=1)>threshold, it is judged as a failure; otherwise, it is judged as healthy.

[0041] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: This invention employs acoustic emission technology as a non-destructive testing method. This method can monitor capacitors under normal operating conditions by real-time acquisition of acoustic emission signals, analyzing the proportion of peak values and the frequency range of these peak values in the frequency domain. Compared with traditional testing methods, this method avoids introducing harmonics and other electrical interference, ensuring that the capacitor's performance is not affected during operation and does not interfere with the normal operation of the system. This non-destructive testing method makes continuous monitoring possible, improving the safety and effectiveness of capacitor health status assessment. This method has high sensitivity, capable of capturing minute changes in the capacitor during operation in real time. By accurately analyzing the proportion of peak values and the frequency range of these peak values in the frequency domain, this method can identify early signs of potential faults. This high-sensitivity detection capability allows for preventative measures to be taken before capacitor degradation becomes apparent, effectively reducing the risk of failure and extending the capacitor's lifespan. This method also has good integrability, enabling efficient integration with existing monitoring systems and equipment. This method requires only the addition of an acoustic emission signal acquisition device and corresponding data processing software to achieve real-time assessment of the health status of metallized film capacitors without major modifications to the existing structure of the power system. This integration process is not only simple and fast but also enhances the system's intelligent monitoring capabilities and the management efficiency of power equipment, contributing to comprehensive equipment health management. As capacitors age, their discharge mechanisms change significantly, manifesting as abrupt shifts in frequency domain characteristics. For example, when the health status approaches 95% C0, the number of peaks and the frequency range in the frequency domain may change significantly, indicating a transition from partial discharge to global breakdown. This change is closely related to electrical stress, material degradation, and a weakening of self-healing capabilities; this method offers high detection accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0109] Step S5.3: Set the discrimination threshold according to actual application requirements. During the monitoring process, the proportion of ultrasonic discharge signal frequency domain characteristics within one hour is statistically analyzed and compared with historical data to calculate the corresponding rate of change. The rate of change is used as input data into the prediction model to obtain the probability P(Y=1). The health status of the capacitor is determined by comparing this probability with the set threshold. If P(Y=1) > threshold, it is judged as a failure; otherwise, it is judged as healthy.
[0110] Example of determining the health status of metallized film capacitors using specific frequency domain characteristic parameters:
[0111] Figure 7This paper presents the distribution of the frequency range corresponding to the peak of acoustic emission signals in the frequency domain for metallized film capacitors under different health conditions. FFT analysis of ultrasonic signals collected at different aging stages shows that when the capacitor is at 100% CO health, the percentage of frequencies corresponding to the peak occurring in the 100kHz-200kHz range is 100%. When the capacitor is at 96%-99% CO, the percentage of frequencies corresponding to the peak in the 100kHz-200kHz range is generally greater than 80%. When the capacitor is close to 95% CO, the percentage of frequencies corresponding to the peak occurring in the 100kHz-200kHz range drops significantly to 60%, with the relative change rate jumping from 2% to 36%. This significant jump in the relative change rate of the frequency range corresponding to the peak in the frequency domain indicates capacitor "degradation."
[0112] Figure 8 This paper presents the distribution of the number of peak values in the frequency domain of acoustic emission signals from metallized film capacitors under different health conditions. FFT analysis of ultrasonic signals collected at different aging stages reveals that when the capacitor is in a 96%-100% CO health state, approximately 80% of the ultrasonic signals in the 20kHz-500kHz frequency range have a single peak, with signals having multiple peaks being relatively few. When the capacitor is close to a 95% CO health state, the proportion of single peaks decreases to 34%. The relative change rate jumps from 12% to 58%. This significant jump in the relative change rate of the number of peak values in the frequency domain indicates capacitor "degradation."

Step S4.3: Classify the number of peaks in the frequency domain into single peaks and multiple peaks, and count the proportion of single peaks and multiple peaks of the discharge signal within one hour; Step S5 includes, Step S5.1: Collect frequency domain characteristic percentage data for metallized film capacitors under different health states. This data includes the percentage of the frequency range corresponding to the highest peak value and the percentage of peak values. Calculate the relative rate of change of the frequency domain characteristic percentage. The formula for the relative rate of change is: , Step S5.2: Use a logistic regression model to build a predictive model for capacitor failure, using the relative rate of change as the input feature and the health status as the target variable. The predictive model outputs the probability P (Y=1) that each sample is in a failure state. The form of the predictive model is as follows: , Where Y is a binary response variable representing the failure state (1 indicates failure, 0 indicates health), X1 and X2 are the relative rates of change of two frequency characteristics, β0 is the intercept term, and β1 and β2 are the coefficients of the characteristics. Step S5.3: Set a discrimination threshold. During the monitoring process, the proportion of frequency domain features of ultrasonic discharge signals is statistically analyzed and compared with historical data. The corresponding rate of change is calculated and the rate of change is used as input data into the prediction model to obtain the probability P(Y=1). By comparing this probability with the set threshold, the health status of the capacitor is judged. If P(Y=1)>threshold, it is judged as a failure; otherwise, it is judged as healthy.
