Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of partial discharge detection, in particular to a method for detecting partial discharge of a cable transformer group. Background Art

[0002] Partial discharge is widely used in insulation testing of power equipment, especially cables and transformers. Cable partial discharge detection usually uses cable oscillation wave partial discharge detection technology, which has gradually become the mainstream technology since the 1990s and has developed into DC and AC excitation types. It uses resonant inductors and cables to form an LC oscillation circuit, and then uses partial discharge sensors and partial discharge data acquisition and analysis units to collect and analyze the signals of the oscillation circuit. The traveling wave method is used to locate the local signal, and the location of the partial discharge can be determined.

[0003] Transformer partial discharge detection is generally used for testing high-voltage oil-fired transformers and dry-type transformers before leaving the factory. Non-electrical methods such as ultrasound and chromatographic analysis are often used for on-site detection.

[0004] At present, with the rapid development of new energy technologies such as wind power and photovoltaics and large-scale working conditions enterprises, the wiring method of medium and high voltage 35~66kV (cable) line transformer group has become a major wiring method. Conventional preventive tests require the cables and transformers to be separated for separate testing of the cables and transformers, which requires a lot of electrical isolation and safety measures. In addition, since partial discharge detection is generally not used in the pre-test of 35~66kV and below transformers, and the power grid generally adopts a neutral point non-effective grounding system, the cable transformer group with a high overvoltage level needs to be disassembled for testing, the joints are disassembled, and the transformer windings are tested for DC withstand voltage and dielectric loss according to the national standards. The cables are tested for AC withstand voltage and partial discharge according to the national standards. The testing process is cumbersome and increases the testing time. Therefore, a new detection method is needed that can directly perform partial discharge detection on the cable transformer group without disassembling the joints of the cable and transformer. Summary of the invention

[0039] like Figure 1~2As shown, the present invention provides a method for detecting partial discharge of a cable transformer group, and the equipment used includes a power supply 1, a switch 2, an additional resonant inductor 3, a partial discharge sensor 4 and a partial discharge data acquisition and analysis unit 5 (a partial discharge detector can be used, which is not described in detail for the prior art); the power supply 1 is a high-voltage power supply, and the power supply 1 is an AC high-voltage generator, and an ultra-low frequency, variable frequency series harmonic, industrial frequency series harmonic or other types of high-voltage generators can be selected, and the voltage and current generated by the generator meet the requirements that the additional resonant inductor 3, the three-phase transformer 6 and the three-phase cable 7 can generate LC oscillation.

[0040] The steps adopted by the method are as follows:

[0041] S1: The three-phase transformer 6Y is connected to one end of the three-phase cable 7, the other end of the three-phase cable 7 is open and not grounded, and the single-phase cable to be tested in the three-phase cable 7 is connected to the three-phase transformer 6, and the remaining two-phase cables are disconnected from the three-phase transformer 6; at least one winding of the three-phase transformer 6 is ∆-connected or short-circuited to ensure zero-sequence short circuit. The power supply 1 is connected in series with the neutral point of the Y-connected winding of the three-phase transformer 6 through the switch 2 and the additional resonant inductor 3, the switch 2 is connected to the ground, and when the switch 2 is closed, one end of the additional resonant inductor applying voltage and the ground are short-circuited; a protective resistor 8 is connected in series between the power supply 1 and the additional resonant inductor 3. The partial discharge sensor 4 is connected to the single-phase cable to be tested, and is close to the connection between the single-phase cable to be tested and the three-phase transformer 6; the partial discharge sensor 4 is electrically connected to the partial discharge data acquisition and analysis unit 5;

[0042] S2: Calculate the adjustment value required for the additional resonant inductor 3 so that the distributed capacitance of the single-phase cable line to be tested, the additional resonant inductor 3, and the inductance of the Y-connected winding of the three-phase transformer 6 form an LC oscillation circuit, and the oscillation frequency of the LC oscillation circuit is f G 20~300Hz, preferably 50Hz or 60Hz;

[0043] Calculating the adjustment value required for the additional resonant inductor 3 includes:

[0044] S21: Calculate the short-circuit impedance of the Y-connected winding of the three-phase transformer 6 X S ,

[0045]

[0046] Where: S N is the capacity of the three-phase transformer 6, U N is the rated voltage of the three-phase transformer 6, ∆U k is the impedance voltage of the three-phase transformer 6;

[0047] S22: According to the short-circuit impedance of the Y-connected winding of the three-phase transformer 6 Xs Get the inductance value of the Y-connected winding of the three-phase transformer 6 LS ,

[0048]

[0049] S23: Calculate the overall inductance of the LC oscillation circuit Lp ;

[0050]

[0051] Wherein: Cc is the distributed capacitance value of the single-phase cable to be tested in the three-phase cable 7;

[0052] S24: Calculate the additional resonant inductance value, which is Lp-Ls ;

[0053] S3: adjusting the additional resonant inductance value according to the calculation result of step S2, then turning on the power supply 1 and disconnecting the switch 2, so that the power supply 1 charges the three-phase transformer 6 and the single-phase cable to be tested, and then closing the switch to short-circuit one end of the additional resonant inductance 3 applying voltage and the ground, so that the distributed capacitance of the single-phase cable line to be tested, the additional resonant inductance 3, and the inductance of the Y-connected winding of the three-phase transformer 6 form an LC oscillation circuit;

[0054] S4: The partial discharge sensor 4 and the partial discharge data acquisition and analysis unit 5 collect and analyze the high-frequency signal formed by the LC oscillation circuit to achieve simultaneous detection of partial discharges of the three-phase transformer 6 and the three-phase cable 7. Example

[0055] Partial discharge detection for 4MW / 35kV wind turbine step-up transformer and collector cable line group:

[0056] The step-up transformer has a capacity of 5MVA, a voltage of 3.3 / 37.5kV, a wiring group of △Y-1, and a short-circuit impedance (also called impedance voltage, expressed as a percentage of the rated voltage) of 7%; that is S N =5MVA, U N =37.5KV, ∆U k =7%.

[0057] Cable model, YJLV22-26 / 25-3×70mm 2 , length 1000m, check the cable manufacturer's manual, YJLV22-26 / 25-3×70mm 2 , the distributed capacitance of 1000m power cable is about 125 nF (single core / single phase), that is, Cc=125×10 -9 F .

[0058] f G Take the power frequency as 50Hz;

[0059] By calculation, we can know the short-circuit impedance of the Y-connected winding of the transformer

[0060]

[0061] Ignore the resistance in the short-circuit impedance and the inductance value of the short-circuit impedance

[0062]

[0063] If no additional resonant inductance is added, the oscillation frequency of the single-phase cable to be tested is

[0064]

[0065] This far exceeds the range requirement of 20-300 Hz for cable series harmonic or oscillation wave detection frequency, so the present invention adds an additional resonant inductor to make the oscillation frequency of the single-phase cable to be tested meet the specification requirements.

[0066] The overall inductance value Lp of the LC oscillation circuit

[0067]

[0068] The inductance value of the additional resonant inductor is adjusted to Lp-Ls= 80.94 H .

[0069] Since the impedance of the additional resonant inductor is much larger than the short-circuit impedance of the transformer, the voltage applied to the transformer is approximately equal to the voltage on the cable, which can effectively stimulate local discharge at the insulation defects.

[0070] The voltage of the power supply can stimulate partial discharge at the insulation defect and must not exceed the withstand voltage of the cable and transformer. For example, if you check the factory test withstand voltage of a 35kV transformer, the dry-type transformer is 60kV, the oil-immersed transformer is 68kV, and the 80% voltage is 48.0 and 54.4kV respectively; the partial discharge applied voltage of a 35kV cable can be 1.7U 0 , U 0 Take the cable phase voltage as 26kV, that is, the AC effective value is 44.2kV, which is approximately the operating phase voltage It is 2.08 times of that of the insulation defect, which can stimulate local discharge of insulation defects and does not exceed the withstand voltage of cables and transformers, meeting the requirements of "DL / T596-2021 Preventive Test Procedure for Power Equipment".

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
