Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of simulation technology, in particular to a fluid mechanics simulation method and system for heat and moisture distribution of a transformer substation under a high humidity environment. Background Art

[0002] In a high humidity environment, uneven temperature and humidity distribution inside the substation may cause equipment failures, such as condensation, which will affect the operation of the substation equipment.

[0003] Specifically:

[0004] Corrosion equipment:

[0005] In the terminal box mechanism box, the dew formed on the secondary wiring terminal block will cause corrosion to the metal conductive parts on the terminal block. This corrosion may be aggravated by the mixing of impurities such as dust, which will cause AC and DC short circuit grounding. DC grounding poses a great threat to the stable operation of the substation secondary system.

[0006] Dew can also corrode the metal parts inside the switch or knife switch operating mechanism, affecting the service life of the mechanism, and even causing the mechanism to get stuck due to rust, resulting in the switch or knife switch failing to operate properly when opening or closing.

[0007] Causes of electrical accidents:

[0008] If the dew on the terminal block causes a short circuit between the two secondary wires, especially the switch tripping circuit, it will immediately cause the switch to malfunction and cause a power outage.

[0009] If the switch or knife switch operating mechanism becomes stuck due to rust, causing the switch's moving and static contacts to open and close slowly, it can also cause a serious electrical accident.

[0010] Reduce the insulation performance of equipment:

[0011] Condensation is easy to occur in the high-voltage switch cabinet in the high-voltage room, and the insulation porcelain bottles in the cabinet are mostly not waterproof. Condensation adhering to the insulation porcelain bottles will reduce its insulation, and may even cause creepage or flicker, seriously affecting the normal operation of the equipment.
