[0047] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0053] Based on the chain reaction trend assessment results, the cable insulation aging trend is calibrated for risk.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 As shown, a method for assessing the aging risk of cross-linked polyethylene cable insulation is provided. An electric field sensing array is set to perform high-speed sampling of dynamic electric field signals, and the pre-processed electric field signal data is supplemented and spatially corrected. Specifically, the method includes:

[0055] An array of electric field sensing devices is arranged at multiple points on the outer insulation surface and inside the cable. Each optical fiber electric field sensing device senses the local electric field intensity through the electro-optical effect. The array of electric field sensing devices must cover the key areas of the cable to ensure global acquisition of dynamic electric field signals and achieve high-precision detection of the complex electric field distribution of the cable.

[0056] The acquisition device is connected to the time synchronization module for time calibration, unifying the time base of all electric field sensing devices. A high-precision time synchronization module (such as GPS or PTP protocol) is used to connect to the optical fiber sensing device to record the timestamp of each sampling point, so that the time accuracy reaches ±1 microsecond. Each sensing device performs sampling based on a unified time base, effectively eliminating the impact of device time deviation on signal comparison and ensuring data time consistency.

[0057] The high-speed sampling frequency is set to perform high-speed sampling on the dynamic electric field signal. The collected initial signal is stored in the form of a time series. The signal includes the instantaneous value of the electric field intensity and the three-dimensional coordinate information of the spatial position. The sampling frequency is set to , the electric field time series signal is used express, To set the sampling frequency under the acquisition time potential, are the three-dimensional coordinate information of the spatial position of the electric field signal.

At the same time, the electric field signal is spatially corrected based on the cable geometry and insulation layer characteristics, so that the data distribution is consistent with the actual physical structure of the cable (i.e., spatial position). This enables high-precision acquisition and processing of full-process data, providing high-quality data support for electric field distribution modeling, risk area identification, and aging trend analysis, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of cable insulation monitoring.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the high-frequency standing wave field signal is Fourier decomposed to simulate the spatiotemporal changes of the electric field distribution, and a superposition model of standing waves and DC electric fields is established to capture the spatiotemporal changes of hot spots. Specifically, the following are included:

[0066] Obtain cross-linked polyethylene cable insulation material and determine the dielectric constant and conductivity characteristics of the insulation material.

[0067] The actual distribution data of space charge is obtained through pulse voltage excitation. The dynamic diffusion of charge in insulating materials is simulated by finite element method. The migration and accumulation process of space charge is simulated in real time. The dynamic diffusion of space charge satisfies the charge migration equation: ,in, is the space charge density, μ is the charge mobility, which indicates the mobility of charge under the action of electric field. is the electric field strength, is the diffusion coefficient, measured in square meters per second, which indicates the ability of charge to diffuse due to concentration gradient. Based on the dynamic diffusion of space charge, the electric field distribution corresponding to the space charge is marked with express.

[0068] Using time domain and space as variables, the dynamic diffusion distribution of the DC field is combined with the dynamic change characteristics of the standing wave field to generate a global dynamic electric field distribution model in the insulating layer. , + .

[0069] In the global dynamic electric field distribution model, the overlap of the charge retention region and the AC field standing wave stationary point leads to a significant enhancement of the local electric field. and The overlapping area and In areas where the electric field intensity exceeds the average value by 50% or more, the standing wave stagnation point distribution area corresponding to the spatial information is marked as a superposition enhancement area.

Specifically, the following are included:

[0071] The electric field model is divided into equally spaced grids, the electric field intensity in each grid is scanned, and the local maximum is extracted. express, For the corresponding spatial coordinates, the Gaussian noise filtering algorithm is used to eliminate the false peaks that may be introduced by model errors. By scanning the local maximum values ​​in the grid, the possible electric field hotspots are determined, laying the foundation for subsequent dynamic analysis.

[0075] Based on the dynamic peak hotspot trajectory and global electric field mean extracted above, the dynamic enhancement amplification coefficient of the superimposed enhancement area at each time point is calculated, and the enhancement amplification coefficient is integrated in the time dimension to generate a time series curve of the enhancement amplification coefficient. The dynamic enhancement amplification coefficient is calculated as the ratio of the electric field intensity corresponding to the dynamic peak hotspot trajectory of the electric field intensity in the time series to the global electric field mean.

[0076] Based on the dielectric constant and conductivity characteristics of the insulating material, the risk threshold of the enhancement amplification factor is set in combination with the specific value of the enhancement amplification factor. The high-risk positions that exceed the risk threshold in the time series curve are dynamically marked in time, and the risk area is delineated in combination with the spatial distribution trajectory.

[0077] The migration speed and residence time of dynamic peak hotspots in the risk area are recorded to provide a quantitative description of the dynamic evolution characteristics of the peak hotspots in the risk area. The migration speed of the dynamic peak hotspot is calculated by dividing the spatial displacement of adjacent time points by the time interval. The Euclidean distance of the hotspot positions is calculated for any two adjacent time points. The migration speed value of each time interval is stored and used to analyze the hotspot migration law and define a specific range within the risk area. That is, when the electric field strength and position of the peak hotspot meet specific conditions at the same time, it is recorded as residence.

[0078] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the degree of local aging in risk areas is analyzed, and the trend of chain reactions caused by local aging is evaluated by combining the dynamic evolution characteristics of the peak hotspots in each risk area. Specifically, the following are included:

[0079] Use an infrared thermal imager to measure the surface temperature distribution of the designated risk area, calculate the deviation between the average temperature of the risk area and the safe operating temperature of the insulation material, and calculate the thermal cumulative aging score as follows:

[0081] A thermal cumulative aging test is conducted on the insulation layer material to set the thermal aging weight factor. The thermal aging weight factor and the temperature deviation are multiplied by the time the temperature in the risk area exceeds the safe operating temperature to calculate the thermal cumulative aging degree score.

[0082] The discharge intensity data of the designated risk area is extracted from the discharge detection device, including the discharge amplitude and discharge frequency. The discharge activity energy per unit time is defined based on the discharge amplitude and discharge frequency, and the discharge aging degree score is calculated as follows:

[0083] Extracting the discharge amplitude from the discharge detection device and discharge frequency , then the corresponding definition of discharge activity energy per unit time is The calculation should be: , the discharge activity energy integration within the total discharge detection time, the discharge aging weight factor is set based on the dielectric constant and conductivity of the insulating material. A higher dielectric constant has a stronger resistance to discharge and should be given a lower weight. A higher conductivity is easy to form a conductive path, which aggravates aging and should be given a higher weight. The specific settings are measured by experiments and will not be repeated here.

[0084] The product of the discharge activity energy integration result within the total discharge detection time and the discharge aging weight factor is used as the discharge aging score.

[0085] The thermal accumulation aging degree score and the discharge aging degree score are normalized to unity and weighted comprehensive calculation is performed to obtain the comprehensive local aging degree of the risk area. express.

The calculation expression of the aging chain reaction trend evaluation value is: , is the aging chain reaction trend evaluation value at time t, For the comprehensive local aging degree of position w at time t, set the aging growth rate critical value Th, and calculate the aging chain reaction trend evaluation value at time t , screen out the aging chain reaction trend assessment value greater than or equal to the aging growth rate critical value Th (i.e. >=Th) in the dangerous area.

[0088] Reference Figure 6 As shown in the figure, based on the chain reaction trend assessment results, the risk level calibration of cable insulation aging trend specifically includes:

[0089] Obtain aging chain reaction trend assessments for all risk areas and categorize them into multiple gradients, such as low risk, medium risk, high risk, and extremely high risk. Each gradient represents a varying degree of aging intensity, reflecting the range of risk areas from mild aging to potential insulation failure. The hazard gradients are based on experimental data, engineering experience, and the actual dynamic characteristics of the risk areas, such as changes in temperature, discharge activity intensity, and dynamic peak hotspots. Thresholds can be adjusted based on cable material properties and usage scenarios.

[0090] Based on the hazard gradient delineation results, the aging hazard level of the risk area is calibrated. Cable insulation repairs are performed based on the calibration results, with priority given to high-risk and extremely high-risk areas, based on the hazard level. These areas are typically where dynamic hotspot migration is concentrated, where hotspots persist for long periods of time, or where there is a clear trend of expansion. After the repair is complete, the electric field strength, temperature distribution, and discharge activity in the repaired area are tested to verify that it has returned to a safe range.
