Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the construction and development of new power systems, the supply guarantee and regulation capabilities of distribution networks are particularly important. The National Energy Administration has put forward guiding opinions on the high-quality development of distribution networks under the new situation, emphasizing the improvement of power supply guarantee capabilities and the reduction of power outages. In the statistics of distribution network fault data, single-phase grounding faults account for more than 70%. If not handled promptly and effectively, the scope of the accident may be expanded, and even line equipment may be burned, causing serious economic losses and social impacts.

[0003] At present, the distribution network lines are equipped with single-phase ground fault protection functions at key locations such as primary and secondary fusion circuit breakers and substation outlet switches. However, the accuracy and reliability of the newly invested equipment still need to be verified by on-site testing. With the changes in the topology of the distribution network and the aging of equipment and lines, equipment malfunctions and refusal to operate are becoming more frequent, and the demand for on-site testing is becoming increasingly urgent. However, the existing single-phase ground fault simulation devices have many shortcomings, which are mainly manifested in the following aspects: Incomplete types of ground fault simulation: Traditional simulation devices cannot fully simulate various single-phase ground fault conditions, which limits the comprehensiveness and accuracy of fault simulation.

[0022] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Embodiment 1

[0023] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the mobile single-phase grounding fault simulation vehicle of the present invention comprises an engineering vehicle carrier, the engineering vehicle carrier comprises a cab, a component room and a control room; a simulated single-phase grounding fault device is arranged in the component room; the simulated single-phase grounding fault device comprises an isolating switch, a current transformer, a voltage transformer, an integrated protection unit, a circuit breaker, an adjustable resistor and a controllable arc discharge device; Among them, the current transformer is used to measure the current of the loop; the voltage transformer is used to measure the voltage of the loop; the isolating switch is connected in series with the circuit breaker to control the opening and closing of the grounding loop; the integrated protection unit is used to monitor the circuit status and cut off the circuit in time when it is detected that the grounding current is greater than a certain value and may cause danger; the adjustable resistor is used to adjust the grounding resistance to simulate the fault conditions under different grounding conditions; one end of the controllable arc discharge device is connected in series with the adjustable resistor to simulate the discharge characteristics during arc grounding.

[0024] The control room is provided with a test host, and the test host is provided with a central control unit for comprehensively controlling various adjustable parameter elements in the vehicle, controlling the opening and closing of the circuit breaker, and performing data recording and result output.

[0025] Furthermore, the integrated protection unit includes a signal acquisition unit and a single-phase grounding test protection control device, wherein the signal acquisition unit is responsible for collecting grid status data; the single-phase grounding test protection control device uses the data of the signal acquisition unit to simulate and protect single-phase grounding faults.

[0026] In this embodiment, the controllable arc discharge is placed as an arc grounding simulator, and the arc grounding simulator is connected to a grounding body through an insulated wire.

[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting piece connected to the tested line, and the connecting piece is connected to the isolating switch through an insulated conductor.

[0028] In this embodiment, a fuse is provided between the insulated wire and the isolating switch.

[0029] In this embodiment, the circuit breaker includes a first circuit breaker and a second circuit breaker, wherein the first circuit breaker is connected to the A-phase circuit, and the second circuit breaker is connected to the B-phase circuit. The first circuit breaker and the second circuit breaker are protection devices corresponding to the A-phase and B-phase circuits of the three-phase 10KV line, respectively, and their main function is to protect the circuits of their respective phases from the influence of faults such as overload and short circuit.

[0030] In this embodiment, the engineering vehicle carrier is provided with a high-voltage line terminal and a grounding terminal. The high-voltage line terminal is connected to the wire of a high-voltage power supply (such as a 10kV line), and the high-voltage power supply is introduced into the simulation vehicle for fault simulation testing. The grounding terminal is a wire or copper wire connecting the test vehicle to the ground, which is used to simulate ground fault conditions to ensure the accuracy of the test.

[0031] Furthermore, a maintenance channel is provided on the rear side of the engineering vehicle carrier. The maintenance channel is an important component that ensures that technicians can safely and easily access the key components and systems of the vehicle when the vehicle needs maintenance or repair. The camera is used to monitor the environment around the vehicle, especially the live parts, to ensure the safety of the operator during the test. It is also capable of remote observation, allowing operators to remotely observe the test area in the control room, reducing the need for direct contact with dangerous areas; it can also record image data during the test for subsequent analysis and fault diagnosis. In complex or difficult to directly observe test environments, the visual assistance provided by the camera can help operators perform tasks more accurately.

[0032] Furthermore, a charging port is provided on the side of the engineering vehicle carrier. The charging port should have necessary safety protection measures, such as overload protection, short circuit protection and leakage protection, to ensure the safety of the charging process.

[0035] The device integrates a variety of single-phase grounding faults into an integrated fault detection vehicle. In actual field applications, it is only necessary to drive the vehicle to the location where the fault needs to be simulated, which makes it more convenient to move. The device body does not require wiring. Only the 10kV incoming line and the grounding wire need to be connected on site, which saves a lot of test preparation time for on-site wiring. The single-phase grounding fault parameters can be adjusted in the vehicle's main control room, and the test data and grounding waveform can be recorded for subsequent research and application. Cameras are installed on the top and rear of the vehicle to ensure that the live parts can be monitored in the main control room. At the same time, the main control room is insulated to effectively ensure the safety of personnel, and tests can still be carried out in light rain.

[0036] In addition, the test vehicle can simulate various grounding methods such as metallic grounding, non-metallic grounding, arc grounding, etc. It has the characteristics of simple wiring, flexible mobility, easy use and safe operation. Compared with traditional grounding fault simulation devices, it is more suitable for distribution network field testing. Embodiment 2

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods.
