Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of transformers, and in particular to a method and system for detecting the internal temperature field distribution of an oil tank of an oil-immersed transformer. Background Art
[0002] Power transformers are the most important substation equipment in the power system and are widely used in various power transmission and distribution networks. The reliability of power transformers directly affects the stable operation of the power grid. With the continuous improvement of the voltage level and capacity of my country's power grid, the failure problems caused by local overheating inside the transformer are becoming more and more serious, and the losses caused by overheating failures are also increasing. When a transformer overheats, if it is not handled in time, it may accelerate the aging of the transformer, shorten the life of the transformer, and may also cause a short circuit between the winding turns. In severe cases, it may directly damage the transformer.
[0003] At present, there are two methods for obtaining the hot spot temperature of transformer windings: measurement method and top oil temperature model inversion calculation method. The measurement method requires placing the temperature probe in the transformer winding coil to obtain real-time temperature data. The real-time temperature data obtained by this method has high accuracy, but the disadvantage is that the transformer needs to be shut down for modification, which increases the cost of transformer production, affects the normal operation of the power grid, and does not meet the requirements of economic operation of the power grid. The top oil temperature model inversion method measures the top oil temperature of the oil tank and further uses mathematical and physical principles such as thermal simulation method, numerical calculation method, and thermal circuit model method to estimate the hot spot temperature. However, since the actual transformer operation is often quite different from the ideal situation, coupled with calculation errors and nonlinear errors, the calculated hot spot temperature value is quite different from the actual one, and the distribution of the temperature field inside the oil tank cannot be accurately obtained.
[0004] Patent document with publication number CN117235909A proposes to measure the temperature field distribution inside the oil tank by using an ultrasonic transducer outside the oil tank, and actively transmit ultrasonic signals to the inside of the oil tank. Since the structure and material of the transformer are known, only the temperature factor will affect the ultrasonic return signal. By analyzing the returned ultrasonic signal, the internal temperature information can be obtained. The disadvantage of this method is that the internal structure and material of the oil-immersed transformer to be tested must be clearly known, and the calculation model must be built in advance. Once the transformer model changes, the model must be re-modeled, which is cumbersome. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, thereby providing a method and system for detecting the internal temperature field distribution of the oil tank of an oil-immersed transformer. The method adopts a distributed temperature measuring optical fiber fixed on an insulating rod to measure the internal temperature field distribution of the oil tank of the oil-immersed transformer, which can accurately obtain the distribution of a certain plane of the temperature field inside the oil tank, and can effectively avoid the situation where the optical fiber is directly installed on the winding and the core, resulting in insulation damage and local discharge. When the optical fiber is damaged, it is easy to replace it without affecting the safe operation of the equipment. At the same time, the internal temperature field distribution of the oil tank can also be accurately obtained, which has the advantages of safety, high efficiency, high measurement accuracy, etc.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A method for detecting the temperature field distribution inside an oil tank of an oil-immersed transformer comprises the following steps: 1) Make a distributed temperature measuring device and place it inside the oil tank to detect the temperature data on the front and side of the transformer oil tank; 2) Connect the distributed temperature measurement device to the external demodulation unit to obtain temperature data, clean the obtained temperature data, and remove abnormal temperature data; 3) Divide the front and side of the oil tank into grids, calculate the grid temperature data of each grid point based on the temperature data after cleaning, and draw a cloud map of the temperature field distribution inside the transformer oil tank based on the grid temperature data.
[0007] The distributed temperature measuring device in step 1) is composed of an insulating bracket and temperature measuring optical fibers distributed on the insulating bracket.
[0008] The insulating support is composed of insulating rods with a common origin, and each insulating rod has more than five temperature measuring optical fibers distributed at equal intervals; The two horizontal insulating rods are the same length as the length and width of the bottom of the transformer oil tank, and are connected to each other at an angle of 90°. One vertical insulating rod is the same length as the height of the transformer oil tank and is connected to the connection points of the two horizontal insulating rods. The other two insulating rods with an angle of 45° are located on the front and side of the oil tank, and one end of each end is connected to the connection points of the two horizontal insulating rods.
[0009] The density of the material used to make the insulating rod is greater than twice the density of transformer oil, and the insulating rod bracket is located inside the oil tank by its own weight.
[0010] Each temperature measuring optical fiber on the distributed temperature measuring device is connected to an external demodulation unit via an optical fiber through-hole.
[0011] The acquired temperature data is cleaned to remove abnormal temperature data, specifically: The average temperature value of the measured temperature data is calculated, and then the abnormal temperature data whose temperature value exceeds 50% of the average temperature value are eliminated.
[0012] The front and side surfaces of the oil tank are meshed, and the grid temperature data of each grid point is calculated based on the temperature data after cleaning. The temperature field distribution cloud map of the transformer oil tank is drawn based on the grid temperature data. Specifically: According to the internal dimensions of the transformer oil tank, a rectangular coordinate system is established with one end point at the bottom of the transformer oil tank. The coordinates of each temperature measuring optical fiber on the distributed temperature measuring device are calculated, and the measured plane is evenly gridded. The grid point spacing is not less than 0.5 times the temperature measurement point spacing. Based on the cleaned temperature data, the temperature data of the grid points is calculated by the interpolation smoothing method, and the temperature field distribution cloud map inside the tank is drawn based on the grid temperature data.
[0013] A temperature field distribution detection system for an oil-immersed transformer tank, comprising: A temperature measuring device for distributed detection of temperature signals inside the oil tank, the temperature measuring device comprising an insulating bracket and temperature measuring optical fibers distributed on the insulating bracket; An optical fiber demodulation unit for converting demodulated optical signals into temperature values, the optical fiber demodulation unit being connected to the temperature measuring optical fiber via an optical fiber through-hole; A data processing unit, the data processing unit is used to clean the temperature data acquired by the optical fiber demodulation unit and remove abnormal temperature data; and a temperature distribution cloud map drawing unit, wherein the front and side surfaces of the oil tank are gridded, the grid temperature data of each grid point is calculated based on the temperature data after cleaning, and a temperature field distribution cloud map of the transformer oil tank is drawn based on the grid temperature data.
[0014] The insulating support is composed of insulating rods with a common origin, and each insulating rod has more than five temperature measuring optical fibers distributed at equal intervals; The two horizontal insulating rods are the same length as the length and width of the bottom of the transformer oil tank, and are connected to each other at an angle of 90°. One vertical insulating rod is the same length as the height of the transformer oil tank and is connected to the connection points of the two horizontal insulating rods. The other two insulating rods with an angle of 45° are located on the front and side of the oil tank, and one end of each end is connected to the connection points of the two horizontal insulating rods.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention mainly has the following advantages: The present invention adopts a method of fixing the distributed temperature measurement optical fiber on the insulating rod. Compared with the method of directly pre-burying the optical fiber on the winding core, the operation is simple and it is convenient to replace the optical fiber when it is damaged. It does not affect the use of the temperature measurement function and avoids the insulation damage caused by directly installing the optical fiber on the winding and the core, thereby reducing the risk of partial discharge.
[0016] Compared with the indirect measurement method, the present invention can directly and accurately obtain the planar distribution of the internal temperature field of the oil-immersed transformer, avoid the measurement errors caused by calculation and model, monitor the temperature field inside the transformer in real time, effectively prevent the transformer from overheating and damage, and improve the equipment operation efficiency.
[0017] The present invention is safe and efficient; the insulating rod bracket can be fixed inside the oil tank by its own weight, no separate fixing structure is required, and the safe operation of the equipment is not affected; meanwhile, the efficiency of temperature measurement and the accuracy and practicability of detection are improved.
