Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of partial discharge detection, and more particularly to a partial discharge detection system and method for a transformer. Background Art

[0002] As the core equipment for power transmission and transformation of power systems, the safety and reliability of transformers will directly affect the safe and stable operation of power systems, while the insulation status of transformers directly affects the operating conditions of transformers. Among the many faults of transformers, discharge faults caused by insulation defects account for the majority. Therefore, whether partial discharge can be effectively and accurately detected is of vital importance to the safe and stable operation of transformers.

[0003] At present, the main methods for live detection of partial discharge in transformers include high-frequency current method, ultra-high frequency method, ultrasonic detection method, etc. Among them, the installation point of the high-frequency current method sensor is limited, and it is very susceptible to busbar corona interference. In actual detection, it strongly relies on the experience of the tester. The ultra-high frequency method has excellent performance in sensitivity and anti-interference, but to give full play to the advantages of the method itself, it is necessary to ensure the optimal sensor size, and its sensor needs to be pre-built-in. In existing projects, only oil valve sensors can be used for live implementation. Due to the limited size of the sensor, the detection sensitivity is insufficient. Therefore, the ultra-high frequency method is difficult to effectively implement for the majority of equipment in operation. The detection range of the ultrasonic detection method is small, and the local discharge on the winding is complicated due to the structure and the influence of oil-paper composite insulation. The signal is difficult to transmit, resulting in too low sensitivity, and it is easily interfered by mechanical noise on site. It is generally used as a means of auxiliary positioning.

[0031] Now, exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to disclose the present invention in detail and completely and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. The terms used in the exemplary embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are not intended to limit the present invention. In the accompanying drawings, the same units / elements are marked with the same reference numerals.

[0032] Unless otherwise specified, the terms (including technical terms) used herein have the commonly understood meanings to those skilled in the art. In addition, it is understood that the terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should be understood to have the same meanings as those in the context of the relevant fields, and should not be understood as idealized or overly formal meanings.

[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] The present invention proposes a partial discharge detection system for a transformer, comprising: a partial discharge detection sensor, such as Figure 1 As shown, a signal acquisition device and a signal processing device;

[0035] The partial discharge detection sensor is used to collect potential signals at two preset points on the surface of the target transformer, the signal acquisition device is used to collect the potential signal and preprocess the potential signal, and the signal processing device is used to extract the waveform of the preprocessed potential signal to determine whether the waveform contains a discharge feature. If the waveform contains a discharge feature, it is determined whether the frequency spectrum distribution of the waveform meets the partial discharge feature. If so, it is determined that the target transformer has partial discharge.

[0036] Among them, the partial discharge detection sensor includes a housing, an insulating film, a metal electrode, a matching resistor and a BNC adapter;

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two magnetic devices are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the shell, an insulating film is arranged in the middle part, metal electrodes are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom surface inside the shell, a matching resistor is arranged in the middle part, and a hole is opened on the upper surface of the shell, and the NBC adapter is passed through the hole;

[0038] Two magnetic devices are arranged on the left and right sides of the outer bottom surface of the shell, respectively; a hollow is arranged in the middle of the bottom surface of the shell, and an insulating film is embedded in the hollow part; two metal electrodes are arranged on both sides of the surface of the insulating film facing the inside of the shell, respectively; a matching resistor is arranged between the two metal electrodes; a hole is opened on the upper surface of the shell, and the NBC adapter is passed through the hole;

[0039] The matching resistor is used to connect the two metal electrodes, and the coaxial cable core and the outer metal sheath of the BNC adapter used to connect the coaxial cable and stripped of the insulation layer are respectively connected to the two ends of the matching resistor.

[0040] The magnetic attraction device is used to adsorb the partial discharge detection sensor onto the surface of the target transformer.

[0041] The insulating film and the surface of the magnetic attraction device facing the outside of the shell are in the same plane.

[0042] Among them, the dielectric constant of the insulating film is between 2 and 4.

[0043] Wherein, the metal electrode is a copper metal plate.

[0044] Among them, it is judged whether the waveform contains discharge characteristics. If the waveform contains discharge characteristics, it is determined whether the spectrum distribution of the waveform meets the local discharge characteristics, mainly from the characteristics, amplitude and spectrum of the waveform, including:

[0045] First, the waveform should show obvious pulse characteristics, which means that the waveform contains discharge characteristics. Secondly, the amplitude should be much larger than the background noise, and the amplitude ratio to the background noise should be greater than or equal to 5. Finally, from the spectrum, the frequency peak is obvious and concentrated in tens of MHz. If all three conditions are met, it is considered to be a partial discharge.

[0046] Wherein, the principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0047] The electromagnetic waves excited by the partial discharge are incident on the interface between the air and the transformer tank wall, and a plane is defined between the air (x<0) region and the tank wall (x>0).

[0048] The induced current density of a unit area of ​​metal wall in the yoz plane is calculated as:

[0049] I z =σE 0 e -x / δ e -jx / δ

[0050] The total induced current is:

[0051]

[0052] When the induced current induces a charge Q on the surface of the switch cabinet, the voltage across the capacitor is U, and we have:

[0053]

[0054] Then the amplitude of the TEV signal coupled to the sensor can be calculated as:

[0055]

[0056] When the electromagnetic wave propagates downward, it manifests as creeping voltage and current waves propagating along the surface of the box wall. The potential signals of the two points are collected through differential electrodes, and the transient voltage signal is obtained by difference. The operation process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown;

[0057] The partial discharge detection sensor based on the principle of micro-area potential difference is composed of a shell part, an insulating film, a metal plate electrode, a signal acquisition part and the like.

[0058] The shell part is made of metal, with a hollow bottom surface, and wraps around the sensor. A hole is opened on the upper surface of the metal shell to allow the BNC adapter to pass through.

[0059] For the insulating film part, a material with relatively high strength is selected, and the relative dielectric constant of the material is between 2 and 4, thereby forming a coupling capacitor for collecting signals.

[0060] The metal plate electrode is mainly a copper metal plate, with two pieces in total, which are connected by a matching resistor. Connect the coaxial cable through a BNC adapter, strip off the insulation layer, and connect the coaxial cable core and the outer metal sheath to the two ends of the matching resistor respectively.

[0061] The left and right sides of the bottom surface of the sensor are designed with magnetic devices, which can adsorb the sensor to the surface of the metal box wall. In the middle is an embedded insulating film.

[0062] The signal acquisition part filters and amplifies the signal collected by the sensor through the amplifier, and then connects it to the data acquisition device for data display, waveform spectrum analysis, discharge PRPD spectrum diagnosis and time difference positioning.

[0063] The invention is a local discharge detection sensor based on micro-area potential difference. The sensor can be used for local discharge detection of transformers with seams. The seams include unwelded seams, manhole seams, flange holes and the like.

[0064] The present invention can detect the voltage wave and current wave formed by the partial discharge electromagnetic wave signal in the box propagating through the gap to the outer surface of the transformer box, and identify the signal after passing through the amplifier and the signal acquisition device.

[0065] The present invention is equipped with a magnetic attraction device, which can change the position at any time on the outer surface of the transformer box to perform partial discharge detection tests. It can not only perform online detection, but also detect the signal strength of different positions by placing multiple sensors to obtain the time difference of relative positions. It has great potential in the positioning of partial discharge of transformers.

[0066] The present invention has a metal shell on the outside, which can shield external electromagnetic interference to a certain extent, and has a significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratio compared to other external detection methods. In addition, in the on-site operation environment, it can also protect internal components to a certain extent.

[0067] The present invention has two metal electrodes inside. During detection, the potentials corresponding to the two electrodes are subtracted to form a differential mode. This design can greatly reduce electromagnetic interference, mechanical interference, etc. mixed in the signal, and further improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection.

[0068] In summary, the present invention helps to provide a new detection method and idea for transformer partial discharge detection, and has great potential in the field of transformer partial discharge positioning.

[0069] The verification results are as follows:

[0070] As Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the sensor is attached to the outer surface of the metal box. There is a cover plate on the top of the box, and there is a gap between the box and the bottom box. The other end is connected to the signal acquisition device. A monopole probe connected to a standard pulse source is inserted into the reserved hole on the top of the metal box to simulate partial discharge signals. The position of the sensor is constantly adjusted for detection. The collected signal is as follows: Figure 6 shown.

[0071] Embodiment 2:

[0072] The present invention also proposes a partial discharge detection method for a transformer, such as Figure 7 As shown, including:

[0073] Step 1, collecting potential signals at two points of the target transformer, preprocessing the potential signals, and extracting the waveform of the preprocessed potential signals;

[0074] Step 2, determining whether the waveform contains discharge characteristics;

[0075] Step 3: If the waveform contains a discharge feature, determine whether the frequency spectrum distribution of the waveform conforms to the partial discharge feature; if so, determine that the target transformer has partial discharge.

[0076] The preprocessing of the potential signal includes: taking a difference of the potential signal to obtain a transient voltage signal, and filtering and amplifying the transient voltage signal.

[0077] The present invention determines whether partial discharge occurs in the transformer by collecting potential signals, has high detection accuracy and can eliminate noise interference.
