Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system technology, and in particular to a method for optimizing the layout of grounding grid measuring points in substations. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial component of the power system, the substation grounding grid's primary function is to provide safe electrical grounding for electrical equipment, ensuring personal safety and the normal operation of the equipment. By diverting current into the ground, the grounding grid quickly eliminates fault currents in the power system, thus preventing harm to personnel and equipment. Corrosion of the grounding grid is one of the main causes of defects, leading to numerous accidents. Therefore, the detection and diagnosis of grounding grid corrosion is of paramount importance for accurately understanding its operational status, promptly identifying potential problems, and taking appropriate measures.

[0003] Currently, there are three main methods for diagnosing grounding grid corrosion: electromagnetic field method, electrochemical measurement method, and electrical network theory method. Among them, the electrical network theory method is a commonly used method due to its simple principle, convenient implementation, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and lack of soil excavation requirement. The electrical network method involves injecting a direct current between grounding grid nodes, measuring the voltage between the two injected nodes, calculating the corresponding grounding grid port resistance using voltage and current, and then using electrical network theory and Tellegen's theorem to solve for the branch resistance of the grounding grid based on the port resistance. The actual resistance of the branch is compared with the theoretical resistance to determine the degree of corrosion in the branch. However, in practice, substations have a limited number of existing equipment grounding down conductors, limiting the number of measurement points that can be obtained by injecting direct current into the existing down conductors as observation points, and restricting the branches that can be solved to the area where the down conductors are located. Furthermore, since the grounding grid is buried underground, adding a lead-out terminal to each node for measurement would be cumbersome, labor-intensive, and costly. Therefore, this invention proposes a method for optimizing the arrangement of grounding grid measurement nodes. This method determines the observation nodes of the grounding grid and achieves accurate diagnosis of corrosion of grounding grid branches with as few measurement nodes as possible.
