Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of partial discharge technology for GIS equipment, and more particularly to a method and system for verifying a built-in UHF sensor in GIS. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-high frequency (UHF) sensors are widely used in detecting partial discharge in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) due to their advantages such as high accuracy, high sensitivity, and resistance to interference. However, although the calibration technology for UHF sensors is relatively mature, there is still no unified and efficient calibration method for GIS UHF sensors, either domestically or internationally.

[0003] Equivalent height It is the frequency domain voltage output by the antenna. With the received frequency domain electric field The ratio of the frequency domain voltage outputs of the sensor to the reference sensor reflects the coupling characteristics of the sensor and has become an important indicator for evaluating ultra-high frequency (UHF) sensors. During measurement, the sensor under test (SDS) and the reference sensor are placed together on the upper third of the GTEM chamber where the electric field strength is relatively uniform. Since the equivalent height of the reference sensor is known, the equivalent height of the SDS can be indirectly calculated based on the ratio of the frequency domain voltage outputs of the SDS and the reference sensor.

[0004] There are three types of UHF sensors used for partial discharge detection in GIS: built-in, open basin, and cast-hole. Built-in sensors are pre-installed at the manhole and cannot be removed while energized after the GIS is put into operation, nor can they be disassembled for calibration in the GTEM (Geometric Compatibility) chamber. This makes the calibration of built-in sensors the most difficult. Based on the indirect calculation principle in GTEM, the equivalent height of the built-in sensor can be indirectly calculated using the measured equivalent height of the external sensor and the attenuation characteristics of electromagnetic waves in the GIS. The calculated equivalent height value serves as an important evaluation criterion for the calibration of UHF sensors in GIS. Summary of the Invention

A standard external sensor is placed in close proximity to the basin insulator adjacent to the built-in sensor to be calibrated. An equivalent artificial pulse is injected into the external sensor adjacent to the built-in sensor to be calibrated. The frequency domain voltages output by the built-in sensor and the standard external sensor can be obtained, and their ratio can be calculated. Simultaneously, the simulated UHF signal leaks through the basin insulator to the standard external sensor. This process changes the electromagnetic wave polarization mode, resulting in significant attenuation of the UHF signal. The simulated UHF electromagnetic wave also experiences some attenuation when passing through the handhole of the built-in sensor. By taking into account and correcting for these attenuation losses of the UHF electromagnetic wave, the equivalent height of the built-in sensor can be obtained from the equivalent height of the external sensor.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] This embodiment discloses a verification method for a built-in UHF sensor in a GIS device. The method consists of seven steps, as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0056] The first step is to measure the frequency domain equivalent height of a standard external sensor. It includes the following specific operations:

[0057] S101: Place the standard external sensor at the opening where the field strength is more concentrated on the rear third of the upper surface of the GTEM chamber;

[0058] S102: Inject a double-exponential ultra-high frequency pulse signal into the GTEM cell;

[0059] S103: The frequency domain equivalent height of the standard external sensor was obtained from the background measurement. .

[0060] The second step involves measuring relevant GIS parameters and calculating the leakage of electromagnetic waves as they pass through the basin insulator. This includes the following specific operations:

[0061] S201: Measure the inner diameter of this GIS a and the radius of the basin insulator at any position r ;

[0062] S202: Substitute into the formula to calculate the frequency domain attenuation of the ultra-high frequency electromagnetic wave when it passes through the basin insulator:

[0063]

[0064] The third step is to calculate the attenuation of the ultra-high frequency electromagnetic wave as it passes through the handhole. This includes the following specific operations:

[0065] S301: Measure the horizontal distance between the lead wire of the built-in sensor to be calibrated and the outer wall of the GIS. d ;

[0066] S302: Substitute into the formula to calculate the frequency domain attenuation of ultra-high frequency electromagnetic waves when passing through a hand-hole circular waveguide:

[0067]

[0068] The fourth step is to complete the setup and wiring of the necessary equipment for verification. This includes the following specific operations:

[0069] S401: Place the standard external sensor, calibrated by the GTEM cell, close to the basin insulator that is radially closest to the internal sensor to be calibrated;

[0070] S402: Use the sensor adjacent to the built-in sensor to be calibrated as the injection sensor, and connect the handheld pulse generator to the power supply port of the injection sensor;

[0071] S403: Connect the interfaces of the built-in sensor to be calibrated and the standard external sensor to CH1 (channel 1) and CH2 (channel 2) of the high-speed oscilloscope, respectively;

[0072] S404: The sensor is wrapped in tin foil to prevent the signal from propagating through the outside air and affecting the test results.

[0073] Step 5: Inject a pulse and measure the response voltage of the built-in and standard external sensors under that pulse. This includes the following steps:

[0074] S501: Turn on the handheld pulse generator switch and inject a standard double-exponential voltage pulse of a certain amplitude and frequency into the external sensor adjacent to the built-in sensor to be calibrated. Adjust repeatedly to ensure that the injected voltage pulse can simulate the ultra-high frequency electromagnetic wave signal excited by partial discharge.

[0080] This embodiment innovatively proposes a scheme for verifying UHF built-in sensors based on the calculated equivalent height of the sensor in the frequency domain. Since the pre-installed built-in sensor cannot be removed from the operational GIS, it cannot be placed in the GTEM cell to calculate its equivalent height. Therefore, the equivalent height of the built-in sensor must be indirectly calculated using an external sensor calibrated in the GTEM cell. For example... Figure 2 As shown, a standard external sensor is placed in close proximity to the basin-type insulator adjacent to the built-in sensor to be calibrated. An equivalent artificial pulse is injected into the external sensor adjacent to the built-in sensor to be calibrated. The frequency domain voltages output by the built-in sensor and the standard external sensor can be obtained, and their ratio can be calculated. Simultaneously, the simulated UHF signal leaks through the basin-type insulator to the standard external sensor. During this process, the electromagnetic wave polarization mode changes, resulting in significant attenuation of the UHF signal. The simulated UHF electromagnetic wave also experiences some attenuation when passing through the handhole of the built-in sensor. Taking into account and correcting for these attenuation losses of the UHF electromagnetic wave, the equivalent height of the built-in sensor can be obtained from the equivalent height of the external sensor.

[0081] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
