Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of SF6 digital density meters, and in particular to an SF6 digital density meter based on multi-parameter acquisition and automatic temperature compensation, and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] SF6 gas's excellent insulation and arc-extinguishing properties make it widely used in various high-voltage equipment, such as circuit breakers (SF6 switches), enclosed switchgear (GIS) or semi-enclosed switchgear (HGIS), main transformer bushings or wall bushings, current transformers (CTs), etc.

[0003] If the SF6 density decreases, it will cause a reduction in the withstand voltage and breaking capacity of circuit breakers, resulting in a significant decrease in the insulating performance of SF6 gas. To ensure the safe operation of SF6 electrical equipment, power operation departments must strictly monitor the density of SF6 gas. Currently, most domestic and international systems use mechanical density relays to monitor SF6 gas density. Mechanical density relays can only output alarm and interlocking node signals; reading and data transmission are inconvenient, making remote measurement impossible. Especially in high-voltage (500kV and above) substations / converter stations, due to their large footprint, long equipment distribution distances, and the extensive use of SF6 electrical equipment, most of these stations are equipped with mechanical density relays and have reserved gas filling interfaces for equipment replenishment or sampling testing. Currently, in the actual operation and management of these high-voltage substations / converter stations, monitoring changes in the density of SF6 gas inside each piece of equipment mainly relies on manual inspection and meter reading. Only by periodically recording the readings of each density relay and manually comparing them can the safety and health status of each piece of equipment be understood. Since these substations have hundreds or even thousands of SF6 density relays, this work brings great inconvenience to the operation and management of the stations.

[0004] On the other hand, the moisture content in SF6 gas is also an important indicator for evaluating its insulation characteristics and arc-extinguishing performance. During the manufacturing and operation of SF6 circuit breakers, moisture can accumulate in the gas chamber and valves due to: 1) the presence of moisture in fresh SF6 gas; 2) oversights in the process during installation, disassembly, maintenance, and gas replenishment; and 3) incomplete sealing leading to gas leakage and subsequent moisture seepage. Excessive moisture can cause the following hazards to equipment operation under the following conditions: 1) With the presence of some metals, water at temperatures above 200°C can cause hydrolysis of SF6, generating reactive HF and SOF2, which corrode insulating and metal components, generating heat and increasing the pressure in the gas chamber; 2) Excessive moisture may condense at lower temperatures, significantly reducing the surface insulation strength of insulating components, and even causing flashover and serious accidents. Therefore, the measurement and control of moisture in SF6 gas has become a topic of widespread concern in power systems. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Example 1

[0052] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an SF6 digital density meter based on multi-parameter acquisition and automatic temperature compensation is provided. The SF6 digital density meter is equipped with a density meter display 8 and a detection interface 9 at the bottom. The digital density meter is equipped with a multi-parameter acquisition module and a temperature and pressure processing module. The multi-parameter acquisition module and the temperature and pressure processing module are electrically connected to a single-chip microcomputer.

[0053] The detection interface 9 of the SF6 digital density meter is in direct and complete contact with the SF6 gas.

[0054] Figure 2Multi-parameter acquisition chip circuit diagram: The pressure-sensitive chip and temperature chip are connected to the ceramic circuit board via an adapter plate. The lower right terminal of the adapter is defined as V+, and the terminals in the counter-clockwise direction are V+, 0+, V-, and 0-, respectively. These terminals are used for signal transmission and power supply. When the ceramic circuit board is placed face up, the two smaller pads are the soldering terminals for the temperature chip. The wire length can be adjusted according to actual conditions to ensure stable and reliable electrical connections between components.

[0055] Function: The pressure-sensitive core acquires the pressure signal of SF6 gas, converting pressure changes into an electrical signal output. The temperature core acquires the temperature signal of SF6 gas, also outputting it as an electrical signal. The adapter board acts as a bridge connecting the pressure-sensitive core, temperature core, and ceramic circuit board, ensuring a smooth signal transmission path. The ceramic circuit board provides an integrated installation and connection platform for the entire multi-parameter acquisition core, enabling all components to work together to accurately acquire the physical quantities of SF6 gas temperature and pressure (density), and transmit the acquired signals to subsequent circuits for processing.

[0056] Figure 3 Medium temperature and pressure conditioning chip diagram: Connection relationship: The chip is connected to numerous pins (PA, PB, PC, PD series pins), which form complex circuit connections with other external components. The PA series pins are connected to different components to realize various functional configurations, including connections related to clock signals, data transmission (SPI interface related pins PA6 / SPI1 MISO, PA7 / SPI1 MOSI for data input and output), and connections related to chip control and power supply functions (PA13 / SWDI, PA14 / SWCLK pins).

[0057] Function: This chip primarily processes, conditions, and performs preliminary processing on the acquired temperature and pressure signals. Through circuitry with external components, it filters, amplifies, and performs analog-to-digital conversion on the raw input signals, converting the analog signals acquired by the sensors into a digital signal format suitable for microcontroller processing. Simultaneously, the chip may also possess signal calibration and compensation functions to improve signal accuracy and stability, providing a reliable data foundation for the microcontroller to accurately calculate parameters such as the density and temperature of SF6 gas, ensuring the system can accurately measure relevant physical quantities of SF6 gas.

[0058] Figure 4The circuit diagram for the single-chip microcontroller processing is as follows: The circuit is based on the STM32G030C8T6 microcontroller. Its pins are connected to the power supply (VDD_3.3V, GND ground), signal input / output pins (P_SDA, P_SCL for I2C bus communication for data transmission and data interaction with other chips or modules), and pins related to other functions (PT_DRDY, PT_FORCE+, etc., which may be related to triggering and control of specific functions). Simultaneously, it communicates with temperature and pressure regulating chips through specific pins, receiving regulated temperature and pressure data signals.

[0059] Function: The microcontroller serves as the control and data processing center of the entire system, responsible for receiving digital signals from temperature and pressure monitoring chips. Based on preset programs and algorithms, it further calculates and processes these data, such as calculating parameters like the density and water content of SF6 gas according to the gas state equation and related algorithm models. Based on user-defined alarm (on / off) pressure values, it generates corresponding analog electrical signals and sends them to the measurement and control protection system, realizing the monitoring and control functions of SF6 gas status. Simultaneously, it can control the LCD panel to display relevant measurement data, enabling human-machine interaction. Furthermore, it coordinates the work of various parts within the system, ensuring stable and accurate system operation to meet the comprehensive online monitoring needs of SF6 gas status in SF6 high-voltage equipment.

[0060] In the preferred embodiment, the multi-parameter acquisition module includes a pressure-sensitive core 1, which is electrically connected to a signal conditioning board 3 via an adapter board 2. The signal conditioning board 3 is electrically connected to a power board 4, and both the signal conditioning board 3 and the power board 4 are electrically connected to an electrical connector 7.

[0061] In the preferred embodiment, a temperature core 5 is also provided, which is electrically connected to a ceramic circuit board 6. The ceramic circuit board 6 is electrically connected to a signal conditioning board 3 through an adapter board 2.

[0062] In the preferred embodiment, the power supply employs an EMC anti-interference circuit.

[0063] like Figure 5As shown, the power input is 24V, connected to the circuit through fuse F1, and then connected to TVS1 (transient voltage suppressor diode) and GDT1 (gas discharge tube). TVS1 and GDT1 work together on the power line to suppress potential surges and fast transient bursts. The diagram also shows that during actual verification, the equipment was damaged in the third N-PE surge because the gas discharge tube at the inlet was broken down. This gas discharge tube has a pulse voltage withstand capability of 10 / 700µs 4KV +5 times. In future improvements, if space permits, a wire-wound resistor can be connected in series before the two leads of the gas discharge tube to absorb some of the surge impact.

[0064] Functions: The TVS1 (Transient Voltage Suppressor) is mainly used to quickly conduct when a transient overvoltage (such as a surge voltage) occurs in the circuit, clamping the excessively high voltage to a safe value and protecting downstream circuit components from damage. The GDT1 (Gas Discharge Tube) conducts when encountering a surge impact, discharging the surge current to ground when the voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage, thus providing shunt and protection. Adding a series wire-wound resistor (if applicable) can further buffer surge impacts, reduce the surge energy borne by the gas discharge tube, extend its service life, and also help improve the overall power supply circuit's resistance to surges and fast transient / burst interference, ensuring the stability and reliability of the product's power supply. This allows the product to operate normally in complex electromagnetic environments, improving system stability and reliability, and meeting the power supply stability requirements of SF6 digital density meters in environments with strong electromagnetic interference such as substations.

[0096] Converted to The specific steps for measuring trace moisture content (PPMv) at 20°C are as follows:

[0097] 1. Determine the limits and basic relationships in the relevant standards:

[0098] According to DL / T 596-2005, Preventive Testing Procedures for Electrical Equipment, the limits for moisture content (PPMv, volume fraction at 20°C) in different equipment (such as circuit breaker gas chambers and other gas chambers) after overhaul and during operation are specified. For example, the limit for moisture content in circuit breaker gas chambers after overhaul should not exceed [a certain value]. (Assuming) (Not greater than) during operation (Assuming) Other air chambers, after major repairs, should not exceed [a certain size]. (Assuming) (Not greater than) during operation (Assuming) These limits will serve as the basis for subsequent judgments on whether the trace moisture content exceeds the standard.

( For pressure, For volume, For the amount of substance, The molar gas constant, The derivation is based on temperature. The calculation of trace water content involves the relationship between concepts such as partial pressure of water vapor and saturated vapor pressure, and temperature and pressure.

Other limits during air chamber operation If the moisture content is too high, it indicates that the SF6 may hydrolyze at high temperatures or form condensation at low temperatures, affecting insulation performance. Appropriate measures need to be taken, such as checking equipment seals and performing gas treatment. If the limit is met, the trace moisture content is within the normal range.

[0116] A3. Comprehensive assessment: Combining the pressure and micro-water status assessment results, comprehensively judge the overall state of SF6 gas;

[0117] If the pressure is normal but the moisture content is excessive, the focus should be on the source and treatment of moisture inside the equipment.

[0118] If both pressure and moisture levels are abnormal, there may be more serious equipment problems, requiring timely repair or replacement of parts to ensure the safe operation of SF6 electrical equipment.

[0119] Example 4

[0120] Further explanation in conjunction with Example 1, such as Figure 1-5 The structure shown addresses the problems of mechanical density relays:

[0121] 1. Adopt digital acquisition and transmission technology

[0122] By utilizing integrated multi-parameter physical quantity acquisition components as mentioned in the text, SF6 gas temperature, pressure (density), and trace moisture content can be accurately measured in real time through complete contact between the same miniature probe and SF6 gas. The acquired analog signals are converted into digital signals using digital sensors (such as digital temperature sensors) and transmitters with good linearity (pressure transmitters, dew point transmitters) for easy subsequent processing and transmission.

[0123] Establish a reliable data communication link, such as by using RS485 or other communication interfaces, to transmit the collected multi-parameter data to the measurement and control protection system or background monitoring equipment in real time, so as to realize remote monitoring of data and overcome the problems of inconvenient reading and data transmission and inability to remotely measure mechanical density relays.

[0124] 2. Optimize density calculation and monitoring algorithms

[0125] The density of SF6 gas was calculated using precise algorithms such as the Beattie-Bridgman empirical formula combined with Newton's iterative method, and the equivalent pressure at 20°C was calculated accordingly. The SF6 gas density relay is compared with the set alarm (on / off) pressure value to achieve automatic temperature compensation. When an abnormal density is detected, a corresponding analog electrical signal is generated and sent to the monitoring and control protection system in a timely manner, replacing the hard-node signal of the original mechanical meter and improving the accuracy and reliability of monitoring.

[0126] Regarding the issue of detecting trace moisture content in SF6 gas:

[0127] 1. Improve methods and equipment for detecting trace moisture.

[0128] The micro-moisture calculation method based on multi-parameter acquisition described in this paper is adopted. By calculating the saturated water vapor pressure and the actual water vapor partial pressure, and using relevant standards (such as DL / T 596-2005) and conversion formulas, the micro-moisture content is converted to PPMv at 20°C, so as to realize the online accurate measurement of micro-moisture content and overcome the problems of non-online detection and inaccurate data of portable dew point meters.

[0129] Develop high-precision, high-stability micro-moisture sensors or detection modules and integrate them into multi-parameter acquisition systems to ensure the accuracy and reliability of micro-moisture content measurement, while reducing the impact on equipment operation (such as eliminating the need for long-term SF6 gas emissions).

[0130] 2. Achieve real-time automated monitoring and management of trace moisture content.

[0131] By integrating real-time monitoring data of trace moisture content with the entire substation's automation system, continuous monitoring of trace moisture content in the SF6 equipment's gas chambers can be achieved. When the trace moisture content exceeds a set threshold, alarm and interlock devices are automatically activated, and relevant data is transmitted remotely to the monitoring center, providing a basis for equipment condition-based maintenance and realizing automated power transmission and transformation management and equipment condition-based maintenance.

[0132] Overall system integration and optimization:

[0133] 1. Develop a comprehensive monitoring system

[0134] A digital remote density relay (digital meter) for SF6 was developed, integrating multi-parameter acquisition, automatic temperature compensation, trace moisture content calculation and monitoring, and data communication functions.
