Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of insulator electrical performance measurement, and in particular to a composite insulator aging assessment method and system. Background Art

[0002] During long-term operation, composite insulators are affected by multiple factors such as environment, mechanics, and electricity, which causes the material properties of composite insulators to gradually degrade. Composite insulators are widely used in power transmission and transformation systems. Their shed design can effectively increase the surface leakage distance and improve the ability to resist contamination. However, due to long-term exposure to complex environments, aging problems are inevitable, which poses a potential threat to the reliability of the transmission system. The main purpose of aging assessment is to determine the remaining life of composite insulators and take appropriate maintenance or replacement measures to ensure the safe operation of the transmission system. Since composite insulators play an important role in insulation and support in power systems, assessing their aging can help identify potential risks in advance and avoid insulation failure caused by aging, resulting in power outages or equipment damage.

[0003] At present, the commonly used aging assessment methods for composite insulators include dielectric performance testing, hydrophobicity testing, infrared spectroscopy analysis, and mechanical performance testing. Since the dielectric performance test is highly sensitive and can accurately capture the degree of degradation of the relevant electrical properties of the insulating material, and the testing method is mature and widely used, the test results have good reliability and repeatability. It can be combined with other test methods to form a comprehensive aging assessment method to provide a more comprehensive aging analysis. However, when measuring electrical performance indicators such as the surface resistivity or volume resistivity of silicone rubber composite insulators, only the electrical performance of the entire composite insulator can be evaluated, which is not sensitive enough for the early detection of local aging, and the actual aging of composite insulators is generally uneven. For example, if there are small cracks or local material performance degradation in the insulator, but it does not cause a significant decrease in the overall dielectric performance, these problems may not be obvious in early tests.

[0044] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0045] See also Figure 1 , a composite insulator aging assessment method, the method comprising the following steps:

[0046] Applying voltage to the composite insulator to be tested so that the surface charge of the composite insulator to be tested reaches a saturation state;

[0047] Obtaining the surface potential of different measuring points on the surface of the composite insulator to be tested;

[0048] Determine the charge density of each measuring point based on the surface potential of each measuring point;

[0049] According to the charge density of each measuring point, determine the average value and standard deviation of the charge density;

[0050] The coefficient of variation was determined based on the mean and standard deviation of the charge density;

[0051] The local aging degree of the surface of the composite insulator to be tested is determined according to the size of the coefficient of variation, wherein the coefficient of variation is positively correlated with the local aging degree.

[0052] Specifically, after obtaining the surface potential of different measuring points on the surface of the composite insulator to be measured, the surface charge density of each measuring point can be calculated by the following formula:

[0053]

[0054] Where: i is the surface charge density at the i-th measurement point; ε0 is the dielectric constant in vacuum; ε r is the relative dielectric constant of the composite insulator to be tested; d is the thickness of the composite insulator to be tested at the measuring point; V i is the surface potential of the ith measurement point.

[0055] The average charge density It can be calculated by the following formula:

[0056]

[0057] Where: n is the total number of measurement points;

[0058] The standard deviation s of the charge density can be calculated by the following formula:

[0059]

[0060] The coefficient of variation CV can be calculated using the following formula:

[0061]

[0062] The coefficient of variation CV is usually expressed in percentage form, i.e., CV×100%. In this embodiment, when the coefficient of variation of the surface charge density is less than 5%, it is considered that the local aging degree of the surface of the composite insulator to be tested is in a good state; when the coefficient of variation of the surface charge density is within the range of 10% to 15%, it is considered that the local aging degree of the surface of the composite insulator to be tested is in a warning state; when the coefficient of variation of the surface charge density is greater than 15%, it is considered that the local aging degree of the surface of the composite insulator to be tested is in an abnormal state.

[0063] Preferably, the method may further include the step of determining the local aging position according to the value of the charge density: determining the measurement point where the absolute value of the charge density is greater than a set threshold as the local aging point; and sequentially connecting a plurality of adjacent local aging points to form a closed curve to obtain the local aging area. In this embodiment, the set threshold may be set to 50 μC*m 2 .like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the blue area in the figure can be identified as the area of ​​local aging.

[0064] Preferably, the method for determining the surface potential of a measurement point comprises:

[0065] For a circular measurement object, the circular surface is evenly divided into multiple grids, and the corner point of each grid is determined as a measurement point; for a cylindrical measurement object, multiple spaced measurement points are determined along the length direction of the cylinder.

[0066] In the above method, the surface potential of each measuring point can be measured by an existing measuring device.

[0067] Preferably, the surface potential of each measuring point can also be measured by a surface potential measuring device provided by the present invention. The structure diagram of the surface potential measuring device is as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the circuit connection diagram is as follows Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0068] A clamping device 1, used for clamping a composite insulator 2;

[0069] The metal plate 3 is used to place the circular thin-sheet composite insulator 4, and the metal plate 3 is grounded;

[0070] The first walking mechanism 41 is used to drive the metal plate 3 to move linearly in a direction close to or away from the clamping device 1;

[0071] A six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 5 is located above the clamping device 1 and the metal plate 3;

[0072] The second walking structure 42 is used to drive the six-degree-of-freedom robot arm 5 to reach the top of the composite insulator 2 or the circular thin-sheet composite insulator 4;

[0073] The electrostatic capacitance probe 6 is mounted on the movable end of the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm 5, and the fixed end of the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm 5 is mounted on the second walking structure 42;

[0074] A data collector 7 is connected to the electrostatic capacitance probe 6 for communication; and

[0075] The controller 8 is respectively connected to the first walking mechanism 41, the second walking mechanism 42, the six-degree-of-freedom robot arm 5 and the data collector 7 for communication;

[0076] An electrode 21 is provided on the top of the composite insulator 2 , and the electrode 21 is connected to a protective resistor R, and the protective resistor R is connected to a first switch K1 , and the first switch K1 is connected to the positive electrode of the high-voltage DC power supply 10 ; the positive electrode of the high-voltage DC power supply 10 is also connected to a second switch K2 , and the second switch K2 is connected to the needle electrode 11 .

[0077] The measurement method includes the following steps:

[0078] S1, place the needle electrode 11 above the circular thin-sheet composite insulator 4, close the second switch K2, and apply voltage to the needle electrode 11 to make the charge on the surface of the circular thin-sheet composite insulator 4 reach a saturated state. In this embodiment, the voltage of the high-voltage DC power supply 10 is configured to be -40 kV. After applying voltage to the needle electrode 11 for 5 minutes, the charge on the surface of the circular thin-sheet composite insulator 4 can reach a saturated state.

[0079] S2, turn off the second switch K2, use the first travel mechanism 41 to move the circular thin-sheet composite insulator 4 to the position directly below the electrostatic capacitance probe 6, and use the electrostatic capacitance probe 6 to measure the surface potential of each measuring point on the circular thin-sheet composite insulator 4; at the same time, close the first switch K1, apply voltage to the electrode 21 to saturate the charge on the surface of the composite insulator 2. In this embodiment, after applying voltage to the electrode 21 for 60 minutes, the charge on the surface of the composite insulator 2 can reach a saturated state.

[0080] S3, turn off the first switch K1, use the second walking structure 42 to move the electrostatic capacitance probe 6 to the top of the composite insulator 2, and use the electrostatic capacitance probe 6 to measure the surface potential of each measuring point on the composite insulator 2. At this point, the surface potential measurement of the composite insulator 2 and the circular thin-sheet composite insulator 4 is completed.

[0081] When the electrostatic capacitance probe 6 measures the surface potential of each measuring point on the composite insulator 2 and the circular thin-sheet composite insulator 4,

[0082] For the composite insulator 2, the composite insulator 2 is divided into two parts: a shed and a sheath; for the shed part, the shed surface is evenly divided into a plurality of grids, and the corner point of each grid is determined as a measuring point; the surface potential of each measuring point on each shed is measured from top to bottom; for the sheath part, a plurality of spaced measuring points are determined along the length direction of the sheath, and the surface potential of each measuring point on the sheath is measured.

[0084] The grid division method is: first divide the surface into multiple concentric circles, and then measure the surface potential at 12° intervals on each circumference to measure the surface potential of each measurement point. Figure 5 shown.

[0085] During measurement, the controller 8 controls the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm 5 so that the electrostatic capacitance probe 6 installed at the free end of the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm 5 is installed according to the above plan to complete the measurement of each measuring point. During measurement, the electrostatic capacitance probe 6 is perpendicular to the surface of the object being measured and the measuring distance is constant at 3mm. This can be achieved through existing technology, such as the three-dimensional motion control system disclosed in Feng Wang, Dexiong Hu, Lipeng Zhong, et al. 2024.05.09, Surface Charge Dissipation Characteristics of Al2O3 / Silicone Rubber Composites.

[0086] Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The surface charge density distribution diagrams of the sheath, upper shed and lower shed are shown in Figure 1. By calculating the coefficient of variation of each position, the coefficients of variation of the surface charge density of the sheath, upper shed and lower shed are 1.75%, 6.86% and 10.65% respectively, that is, the coefficient of variation of the surface charge density of the sheath part of the measured composite insulator is within 5%, which is in a good state, the coefficient of variation of the surface charge density of the upper shed part is within 5% to 10%, which is in a general state, and the coefficient of variation of the surface charge density of the lower shed part is within 10% to 15%, which is judged to be a warning state, which needs to be paid attention to and early warning.
