Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of transformer fault detection, and in particular to a method for detecting dissolved gas in transformer oil. Background Art

[0002] As my country's power level continues to improve, the power Internet is also constantly developing and improving. It is particularly important to accurately and reliably monitor the stability of power transformer operation. In the power system, the healthy operation of the transformer is the key to ensuring the smooth operation of the power grid. Such a large-scale power system has brought huge challenges to this work. For a long time, the power equipment maintenance strategy has mainly adopted regular maintenance based on time. Although regular maintenance can generally detect defects in the equipment during maintenance, it plays a significant role in ensuring the safety and economic operation of the equipment. However, there are also cases where regular maintenance is not timely, resulting in a decrease in equipment reliability.

[0003] Most large transformers use insulating oil for insulation. When a transformer fails during operation, the insulating oil and solid insulating materials in the transformer will age and decompose under the combined effects of discharge, high temperature, oxidation and other factors, and produce some gases, such as low molecular hydrocarbon gases such as CH4, C2H6, C2H4 and C2H2, as well as gases such as CO, CO2 and H2.

[0004] At present, the transformer fault online monitoring device samples transformer oil in a single-point sampling method, and the single-point sampling method has obvious defects: temperature has a direct impact on the concentration of dissolved gas in transformer oil, that is, the concentration of dissolved gas will be different at different oil temperatures. Due to the large volume of the transformer, the oil temperature in different parts of the transformer is different during operation, resulting in different concentrations of dissolved gas in the oil in different parts. Single-point sampling can only extract oil from a certain part. Therefore, the analysis results obtained by single-point sampling cannot well reflect the overall dissolved gas concentration in the transformer oil, affecting the accuracy of subsequent fault diagnosis. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention discloses a method for detecting dissolved gas in transformer oil, and the specific method is as follows:

[0006] Collect corresponding oil samples at different oil sampling points of the transformer;

[0007] Stir and mix the oil sample;

[0008] Detection of dissolved gas in oil in mixed oil samples;

[0009] Correct the dissolved gas content in the oil according to external influencing factors.

[0010] The advantage of this embodiment is that, in view of the large size of the transformer and the uneven distribution of dissolved gas in the oil at each collection point, a multi-point collection and mixed detection method is adopted for optimization; in the process of multi-point collection and mixed detection, the dissolved gas in the oil will inevitably overflow. The present invention can correct the overflow problem according to the specific circumstances of the external influencing factors, thereby improving the accuracy of dissolved gas detection in the oil.

[0011] Furthermore, the external influencing factors include:

[0012] Ambient temperature, pressure, temperature or oil sample model from oil sample collection to detection of dissolved gas in oil.

[0013] The advantage of this embodiment is that, through observation and analysis, the biggest external factors affecting the spillage of dissolved gas in oil are determined, which are ambient temperature, pressure, temperature or oil sample model.

[0014] Furthermore, before correcting the gas content of dissolved gas in oil according to external influencing factors, the influence of ambient temperature, pressure, temperature or oil sample type on dissolved gas in oil is quantified experimentally;

[0015] Correct the content of dissolved gas in the oil based on the quantitative impact.

[0016] Furthermore, the effect of ambient temperature on dissolved gas in oil is quantified by experiments. The specific experimental method is as follows:

[0018] Place the sample transformer oil into the experimental apparatus;

[0019] Record the baseline temperature and gas concentration at the beginning of the experiment;

[0020] By controlling the heating or cooling function of the experimental device, the temperature is gradually changed;

[0021] Real-time monitoring and recording of experimental data on the concentration of dissolved gas in sample transformer oil and gas leaking out of space as a function of temperature;

[0022] Construct a temperature-space spillover gas relationship table based on experimental data;

[0023] When correcting the dissolved gas content in the oil according to the temperature, the corresponding spatial overflow gas content is obtained by querying the temperature-space overflow gas relationship table, and the correction is completed by adding the dissolved gas content in the oil to the corresponding spatial overflow gas content.

[0024] The advantage of this embodiment is that it is found that as the temperature increases, the concentration of the fault gas dissolved in the transformer oil decreases, while the concentration released into the air inside the transformer increases.

[0025] Furthermore, the effect of pressure on dissolved gas in oil is quantified by experiments. The specific experimental method is as follows:

[0026] Design a closed experimental device that can control the internal pressure and realize the circulation ventilation of oil samples and air samples. Set up a pressure sensor and a gas concentration sensor in the experimental device to monitor the changes in pressure and gas concentration.

[0027] Place the sample transformer oil into the experimental apparatus;

[0028] Record the baseline pressure and gas concentration at the beginning of the experiment;

[0029] The pressure can be gradually changed by increasing or decreasing the pressure function of the experimental device;

[0030] Real-time monitoring and recording of experimental data on the concentration of dissolved gas in sample transformer oil and gas leaking out of space as a function of pressure;

[0031] Construct a table of pressure-space overflow gas relationship based on experimental data;

[0032] When correcting the dissolved gas content in the oil according to the pressure, the corresponding spatial overflow gas content is obtained by querying the pressure-space overflow gas relationship table, and the correction is completed by adding the dissolved gas content in the oil to the corresponding spatial overflow gas content.

[0033] The advantage of this embodiment is that it is found that as the pressure increases, the concentration of the fault gas dissolved in the transformer oil decreases, while the concentration released into the air inside the transformer increases;

[0034] Furthermore, the effect of humidity on dissolved gas in oil was quantified by experiments. The specific experimental method is as follows:

[0035] Design a closed experimental device that can control the internal humidity and realize the circulation ventilation of oil samples and air samples. Set humidity sensors and gas concentration sensors in the experimental device to monitor the changes of humidity and gas concentration.

[0036] Place the sample transformer oil into the experimental apparatus;

[0037] Record the baseline humidity and gas concentration at the beginning of the experiment;

[0038] By controlling the experimental device to increase or decrease the humidity function, the humidity is gradually changed;

[0039] Real-time monitoring and recording of experimental data on the concentration of dissolved gas in sample transformer oil and gas leaking out of space as it changes with humidity;

[0040] Construct a humidity-space escape gas relationship table based on experimental data;

[0041] When correcting the dissolved gas content in the oil according to humidity, the corresponding spatial overflow gas content is obtained by querying the humidity-space overflow gas relationship table, and the correction is completed by adding the dissolved gas content in the oil to the corresponding spatial overflow gas content.

[0042] The advantage of this embodiment is that it is found that as the humidity increases, the concentration of the fault gas dissolved in the transformer oil decreases, while the concentration released into the air inside the transformer increases.

[0043] Furthermore, the effect of oil sample type on dissolved gas in oil was quantified through experiments. The specific experimental method is as follows:

[0044] Design a closed experimental device and set a gas concentration sensor in the experimental device to monitor the changes in gas concentration;

[0049] The advantage of this embodiment is that it is found that as the viscosity of the transformer oil increases, the solubility of the gas dissolved in the oil decreases, resulting in a relatively low concentration of the fault gas dissolved in the oil.
