Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sulfur hexafluoride operation and maintenance technology, and in particular to a multifunctional SF6 and mixed gas density relay online calibration device, which is used for monitoring SF6 and mixed gas and for fault warning. Background Art

[0002] As an excellent insulating and arc-extinguishing gas, SF6 gas is widely used in the high-voltage field. The amount of SF6 gas in gas-insulated equipment is directly related to the insulation and arc-extinguishing performance. If gas-insulated electrical equipment leaks during operation and the SF6 gas content is lower than the safety threshold, it will have a significant impact on the safe and reliable operation of the electrical equipment. In actual application, gas density relays often suffer from oxidation of control contacts, jamming or damage to the mechanism, and decreased accuracy due to long-term inaction. When the SF6 gas content is lower than the safety threshold, it cannot be effectively monitored, seriously affecting the safe operation of the power grid. Relevant technical standards and specifications require: Regularly calibrate density relays operating on the grid.

[0003] At present, there are two ways to calibrate density relays. One is for electrical equipment that has not been remodeled for free disassembly calibration. To calibrate the density relays on such equipment, it is necessary to first shut down the power supply to the power equipment, then disassemble the density relays and send them to a qualified monitoring agency for calibration. After the calibration is qualified, they are installed and re-operated. This calibration method has the problems of cumbersome inspection, low efficiency, high cost, and power outage, which affects the operation efficiency of the power grid and the production and life of the people. The other is for electrical equipment that has been remodeled for free disassembly calibration. To calibrate the density relays on such equipment, the operation and maintenance personnel need to bring a density calibrator to the site to calibrate the density relays one by one. Compared with the first calibration method, this calibration method has greatly improved efficiency and cost, but the calibration process is greatly affected by the environment, and the calibration accuracy is easily affected. In addition, the greenhouse effect of SF6 gas is 23,500 times that of CO2. It is one of the six greenhouse gases clearly restricted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In the calibration process, SF6 gas will inevitably be discharged into the atmosphere, polluting the environment. At the same time, the free disassembly calibration device can calibrate a single type of gas and a single function. With the continuous advancement of the mixed gas transformation project, it can no longer meet the needs of the mixed gas scenario.

[0004] In the prior art, the Chinese authorized patent announcement number: CN 111443283 B discloses an online calibration device for a gas density relay and an online calibration method thereof. The online calibration device includes a gas density detection sensor, a normally open valve, a normally closed valve, a multi-way joint, a gas source generating unit, an online calibration contact signal sampling unit and an intelligent control unit; the gas pressure is increased or decreased by the normally open valve, the normally closed valve and the gas source generating unit, so that the gas density relay generates a contact signal action, and the contact signal action is transmitted to the intelligent control unit through the online calibration contact signal sampling unit. The intelligent control unit detects the contact signal action value and / or return value of the gas density relay according to the density value when the contact signal is actuated, and the calibration of the gas density relay can be completed without the maintenance personnel going to the site, thereby improving the reliability of the power grid, improving efficiency and reducing costs. At the same time, the gas source required for calibration does not need to be used for the calibration of the electrical equipment during the entire calibration process, but the gas source required for calibration is provided by the gas source generating unit, which is both environmentally friendly and safe and economical. Summary of the invention

[0066] The display module displays the relevant data of the density relay, the alarm information and the monitoring report to the operation and maintenance personnel.

[0067] Preferably,

[0068] The measuring module includes a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor and a decomposition product detection sensor;

[0069] The pressure sensor uses a pressure sensor with an accuracy level of 0.01. The pressure sensor is installed in the circuit. When the system is calibrated, the SF6 / N2 gas pressure acts on the surface of the elastic sensitive element in the pressure sensor, causing the elastic sensitive element to deform with the dynamic pressure, driving the resistance strain gauge to deform, and finally converting the strain into a 4-20mA analog signal that can be collected and processed.

[0070] The temperature sensor adopts a platinum resistance temperature sensor. When the system verifies the measured temperature, the platinum resistance temperature sensor and the density relay to be verified are placed at the same ambient temperature. The resistance value of the platinum resistance sensor changes with the temperature of the metal platinum. The changed resistance value can be converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the data processing unit. The system converts the analog signal measured by the pressure sensor into a standard pressure value at 20°C according to the built-in temperature characteristic curve.

The pressure control unit adopts a dual-speed voltage increase / decrease mode. When the pressure is increased / decreased toward the target voltage increase / decrease, the fast voltage increase / decrease mode is automatically selected, which can significantly improve the verification efficiency. When the pressure is close to the signal setting value, the steady speed voltage increase / decrease mode is selected to control the pressure fluctuation range to be less than 50% of the absolute value of the maximum allowable pressure error.

It has the advantages of dry, oil-free, low noise, low power consumption and small size. It does not require the addition of lubricating oil, has zero pollution to the working medium, and does not interfere with the gas analysis of the equipment. It can meet the calibration needs of the mixed gas density relay and significantly improves the calibration efficiency and accuracy compared to the traditional semi-automatic calibration mode.

[0079] Actual depressurization process: The micro vacuum pump is mainly used to dynamically adjust the air intake of the closed cylinder when the system calibration is in a depressurization state, and control the micro vacuum pump to continue working to expand the built-in air bag.

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, it shows a system block diagram of the device of the present invention, the SF6 and its mixed gas electrical equipment 1 is connected to one end of the electric control valve 5, the other end of the electric control valve 5 is connected to the left end of the voltage regulating module 6, one end of the SF6 and its mixed gas density relay 2 is connected to the upper end of the voltage regulating module 6, the PLC chip 8 is connected to the lower end of the voltage regulating module 6, and the characteristic gas early warning unit, pressure sensor, temperature sensor, wireless transmission module integrated unit 7 are connected to the voltage regulating module;

Online calibration method for multifunctional SF6 and mixed gas density relays, It is characterized in that The following steps are performed using the device as described in any one of claims 1 to 9: Step 1: Data acquisition: using high-precision pressure sensors, temperature sensors and decomposition product detection sensors, real-time acquisition of relevant data on the pressure, temperature and decomposition products of SF6 and its mixed gas; at the same time, the PLC chip obtains the working status and output signal of the density relay; Step 2: Signal preprocessing: The PLC chip filters the collected original analog signal to eliminate environmental noise and interference; Amplify and condition the filtered signal to bring it within a standard range suitable for subsequent processing; Step 3: Data calculation: Based on the collected pressure and temperature data, combined with the characteristic equation of the gas and the principle of thermodynamics, the actual pressure of the gas at 20°C is accurately calculated; considering the compressibility and thermal expansion of the gas, the calculation results are corrected and optimized; Density calculation: Based on the accurate pressure and temperature values, the density of SF6 and its mixed gas is calculated; Step 4: Verification analysis: The analysis module performs verification analysis, and the analysis module compares and verifies the calculated density value with the value displayed by the density relay, and analyzes whether the deviation between the two is within the prescribed allowable range. If the deviation exceeds the range of 3%-5%, it is further determined that it is a fault factor of the density relay; Step 5: Decomposition product monitoring: using the electrochemical sensor to perform qualitative and quantitative detection of decomposition products in SF6 and its mixed gas, and to monitor the types of decomposition products and changes in their concentrations in real time; Step 6: Generate a fault warning report: The analysis module conducts in-depth analysis on the long-term accumulated monitoring data, mines the potential rules and trends in the data, and generates a detailed monitoring report, including equipment operation status evaluation, fault warning, maintenance suggestions, etc.; Step 7: Data storage and management: The data storage module classifies and stores the collected raw data, calculation results, verification analysis data, and decomposition product monitoring data according to time series and equipment identification, and establishes a complete data management system; Step 8: Fault diagnosis and alarm: When the density relay detects that the pressure value is abnormal, the density deviation is too large, or the concentration of the decomposition product exceeds the standard, the analysis module automatically performs fault diagnosis and analysis, the alarm module immediately sends out an audible and visual alarm signal, and transmits the alarm information to the operation and maintenance personnel in a timely manner through the communication module.
