In order to obtain the switch health status more comprehensively, the A and B type maintenance have put forward periodic testing requirements for the switch opening and closing speed. However, for traditional high-voltage circuit breaker mechanical characteristics testing equipment, due to the diversity of switches, there are many types, quantities and accessories of sensors, complex and time-consuming installation, poor adaptability and even inability to install on site, and the accuracy does not meet the requirements, resulting in low work efficiency. The stroke and speed of many switches cannot be tested, and only the time index can be tested.

[0064] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present disclosure, the principles of the present disclosure are described as follows in conjunction with examples:

[0065] The present invention solves the problems of complicated installation, wide variety, long time consumption and vibration error caused by poor sensor fixation in current circuit breaker detection field sensors. The following is an example of a hydropower station project:

[0066] From October 11, 2019 to date, the results have been applied in the field test of the 500kV Boshan substation of Laxiwa Hydropower Station, including the 201 circuit breaker on the 220kV side of the 500kV#1 main transformer, the 301 circuit breaker on the 35kV side of the 500kV#1 main transformer, the 5321 circuit breaker on the 500kV side of the 500kV#1 main transformer, the 220kV Bolin I loop 277 circuit breaker, and the 110kV Dashiqiao substation 110kV Dade line 172 circuit breaker. Through the application of different voltage levels, different manufacturers, models, and structures, horizontal comparison with traditional sensors, and vertical comparison with the manufacturer's technical requirements, the test data met expectations, improved the efficiency of the circuit breaker field test, achieved remarkable results, and the application was good. All indicators met expectations.

[0067] Before the application, according to statistics, the Laxiwa Hydropower Station suffered multiple circuit breaker failures every year due to circuit breaker mechanism problems and electrical failures, coil burnout, mechanism jamming and jamming, etc., which caused great losses. Among them, the reliability survey statistics of the circuit breakers that have been put into operation found that among all types of failures, the main failure was the operating mechanism failure, and the failure caused by the operating mechanism failure accounted for 64.8% of the total failures. Among the main causes of circuit breaker failure caused by circuit breaker operating mechanism failure, mechanical failures such as refusal to operate, false operation, slow separation and three-phase out of phase caused more than 80% of the total accidents. After the application of the results, through the all-round detection of the circuit breaker operating mechanism, the health level of the circuit breaker was greatly improved and the service life of the circuit breaker was extended.

[0068] Before the application of the results, some of the manufacturer's speed definitions could not be found, resulting in the inability to accurately judge the test results; speed sensors could not be installed due to structural reasons for many circuit breakers, and thus the circuit breaker speed test could not be carried out; the speed sensor had a short life, and the ability of the rotary sensor to collect signals decreased after a period of time, making it impossible to carry out the circuit breaker speed test, and the installation took a lot of time; after the application of the results, high-speed CCD imaging technology was used to achieve non-contact testing of travel speed; it can complete the testing of most types of high-voltage circuit breakers in our station; it has the characteristics of strong adaptability, high precision, and convenient testing, and can also save a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to achieve the purpose of increasing production, increasing efficiency, and safety, thereby obtaining good economic and social benefits. The basis for calculating economic benefits:

[0069] (I) Save labor costs

[0070] After the implementation of the results, the test efficiency was greatly improved and the labor cost was reduced. The traditional method of measuring the mechanical characteristics of a circuit breaker requires 3 people to install the speed measuring bracket and various sensors, which takes 2-3 hours when all kinds of sensor accessories are complete. Based on the labor cost of 300 yuan / day, 8 hours of work per day, and an hourly wage of 37.5 yuan / hour, the Laxiwa Hydropower Station has about 200 circuit breakers to be inspected each year. The traditional inspection labor cost is: 200*3*3*37.5=67,500 yuan; the use of high-speed CCD imaging technology only requires 2 people, and the time is 0.5-1 hour. Only inspecting one circuit breaker can save 2 hours and reduce 1 inspection personnel. The labor cost is 200*2*1*37.5=15,000 yuan, directly saving 67,500-15,000=52,500 yuan in labor costs, creating direct economic benefits.

[0071] (II) Reducing grid losses

[0072] After the implementation of the results, the test efficiency was greatly improved, the power outage time was reduced, and the power outage loss was reduced: based on the 500kV Boshan transformer, the 500kV No. 2 main transformer has an average daily power of 56.66MW, and the residential electricity price is 0.36 yuan / kWh. According to the reduction of power outage time by 4*2=8 (hours), the average daily loss will be 5.666*0.36*8=163,100 yuan (based on the power outage loss of 8 on the three sides of the No. 2 main transformer, a total of 4 circuit breakers). Calculated by hours), 500kV Boshan substation has 22 circuit breakers in total. According to the pre-test cycle of 3 years, the power outage loss can be reduced by 5.666*0.36*22*2=897,050 yuan in three years, with an average of 897,050 / 3=299,020 yuan per year; currently our station manages 477 operating circuit breakers, which can reduce the power outage loss by about 5.666*0.36*477*2 / 3=6486,400 yuan per year on average.

[0073] (III) Improving circuit breaker health and extending life

[0074] According to the reliability survey statistics of the Laxiwa Hydropower Station on the circuit breakers that have been put into operation, it is found that among all the types of faults, the main fault is the operating mechanism failure, and the failure caused by the operating mechanism failure accounts for 64.8% of the total failures. Among the main reasons for the failure of the circuit breaker caused by the operating mechanism failure of the circuit breaker, the malicious accidents caused by mechanical failures such as refusal to operate, malfunction, slow separation and three-phase dyssynchrony account for more than 80% of the total accidents. After the implementation of the results, the health level of the circuit breaker has been greatly improved and the service life of the circuit breaker has been extended. According to the power outage losses caused by malfunctions such as circuit breakers, the Laxiwa Hydropower Station has 477 circuit breakers in operation, and the average repair (replacement) time for circuit breaker mechanism failure is 1 hour, saving a total of 477*1*0.648*0.8=247.27 hours and reducing power outage losses by about 5.666*0.36*247.27=5.0437 million yuan.

[0075] After the implementation of the results, the problem that we could not conduct targeted tests in actual situations was solved. The test data met expectations, improved the efficiency of on-site testing of circuit breakers, achieved remarkable results, and the application was good. All indicators met expectations, achieving good economic and social benefits. After the application of the results, the defects brought by the traditional signal acquisition method were fundamentally reformed, and the relevant data during the operation of the circuit breaker can be collected more accurately, and the change trend of the signal can be predicted when the fault does not occur, which meets the requirements of the rapid development of the power grid, and can reduce the power outage time caused by the maintenance of the circuit breaker, and ensure the reliability of power supply. It has high practical application value and promotion value.

[0076] Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
