As the core equipment in the converter station, the converter transformer is located at the intersection of the AC and DC power grids, and undertakes the vital electrical connection and voltage conversion tasks. Its working status is directly related to the safety and stability of the entire system.

[0003] According to statistics, the insulation condition of the converter transformer is one of the key factors affecting its performance. However, for the converter transformers that have been put into use, in addition to regular power outage inspections, the insulation status monitoring methods during operation mainly include oil chromatography analysis, ultrasonic partial discharge detection and high-frequency current partial discharge detection. These methods are often greatly reduced in effectiveness due to the influence of unfavorable factors such as complex electromagnetic interference on site and the vibration and noise of the equipment itself. In particular, the oil chromatography analysis is slow and difficult to capture sudden faults, while ultrasonic and high-frequency current partial discharge detection are difficult to accurately evaluate due to interference problems.

[0052] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a broadband radio frequency converter transformer partial discharge monitoring and positioning system, which samples the original time domain waveform of the electromagnetic wave pulse signal at a high rate of 2.3GHz, and classifies the signal using a hierarchical clustering algorithm based on the cross-correlation of the original waveform. At the same time, by accurately judging the arrival time of the pulse signal, the arrival time difference method is used to achieve equipment-level fault location, and the monitoring area grid search algorithm is used to solve the specific positioning problem of partial discharge faults. In this way, using cluster analysis and positioning technology, the system can effectively distinguish partial discharge signals from interference signals, showing a strong interference recognition ability.

[0054] The details are as follows:

[0055] First, as Figure 1 As shown, the partial discharge monitoring and positioning system of the commutation transformer based on the four-element antenna array of the present invention mainly includes a host computer, a control host, a solid state hard disk, four broadband antennas, four analog signal processing units, four data acquisition units, a calculation processing unit and a module power supply.

[0056] The control host is connected to a plurality of data acquisition units through a computing processing unit, and is also connected to a host computer through a wireless communication module, and each of the data acquisition units is connected to a corresponding broadband antenna through a respective analog signal processing unit; here, four broadband antennas, four analog signal processing units, and four data acquisition units are provided, and they are provided one by one, and the four broadband antennas are respectively connected to the four analog signal processing units through high-frequency lines, and the four analog signal processing units are respectively connected to the four data acquisition units through serial port lines, and the four data acquisition units are respectively connected to the computing processing unit through serial port lines, and the computing processing unit is connected to the control host through a serial port line;

[0057] Each analog signal processing unit is used to perform noise reduction on the electromagnetic wave signal received by its corresponding antenna. It can reduce noise through low-noise amplification, gain control and optional bandpass filtering. At this stage, periodic narrowband interference, such as radio broadcast interference and mobile phone communication interference, can be filtered out;

[0058] Each data acquisition unit is used to perform analog-to-digital conversion on the electromagnetic wave signal processed by the corresponding analog signal processing unit;

[0059] The calculation and processing unit is used to perform data analysis on the converted electromagnetic wave signal to obtain the index data required for monitoring; including clustering algorithm, positioning algorithm, partial discharge spectrum phase diagram, etc. After calculation and analysis, the original time domain waveform of the partial discharge signal, positioning results and other technical indicators are sent to the control host through the serial port line;

[0060] The control host is used to receive the monitoring task instructions from the host computer, run the monitoring control software program, control the analog signal processing unit and the data acquisition unit to perform multiple monitoring tasks, and control the calculation processing unit to perform data analysis, store the analysis results in the solid-state hard disk or transmit them to the host computer in real time, or retrieve historical partial discharge data from the solid-state hard disk to perform historical query tasks. Here, the control host is connected to the solid-state hard disk via a data cable and connected to the host computer via a network cable;

[0061] Among them, multiple monitoring tasks include indicator collection and measurement tasks, indicator storage tasks, spectrum scanning tasks, positioning tasks, historical query tasks, etc. The results after data analysis by the computing and processing unit can be uploaded to the host computer for display, such as the corresponding partial discharge spectrum phase diagram, which highlights the abnormal pulse signal and alarms. Then, according to the command control of the host computer, further positioning analysis is carried out to obtain the accurate partial discharge location point, etc.

[0062] The module power supply is connected with the control host, the calculation processing unit, the data acquisition unit and the analog signal processing unit through a power line.

[0063] The solid state drive is used to store system programs, monitoring and control application software programs, various instructions and indicator data, databases, etc.

[0064] The specific position coordinates of these four broadband antennas need to be measured and calibrated. A two-dimensional coordinate system is established with the lower left corner of the converter transformer as the origin of the coordinate system: broadband antenna 1 (0m, Wm), broadband antenna 2 (0m, 0m), broadband antenna 3 (Cm, 0m), and broadband antenna 4 (Cm, W+2m), where W is the width of the converter transformer and C is the length of the converter transformer.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, after receiving the task instruction sent by the host computer, the control host runs the monitoring and control software program to perform the task according to the following steps:

[0066] Step 1: Supply high-frequency signals from four broadband antennas to four analog signal processing units respectively in real time;

[0067] Step 2: The control host receives multiple monitoring tasks issued by the host computer in real time, including indicator measurement tasks, indicator storage tasks, spectrum scanning tasks, positioning tasks, historical query tasks, etc.

[0068] Step 3: The four analog signal processing units and the data acquisition unit perform signal processing and sampling tasks according to the instructions issued by the control host;

[0069] Step 4: The computing and processing unit receives the output data results from the four data acquisition units and completes multiple monitoring tasks according to the priority of each monitoring task according to the preset logic. For example, it can first monitor the abnormal pulse signal, and once found, it will immediately alarm, and then perform positioning analysis, etc.;

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, the clustering algorithm includes: using an improved cosine similarity function to describe the similarity between multi-source partial discharge signals and interference pulse signals, and the function is defined as:

[0071]

[0072] TCD is the traditional cosine similarity, x and y are two time domain signals, such as electromagnetic wave pulse signals, Disp is the cross-correlation information, Disp∈[0,1], TCD∈[0,2], α is the weight coefficient of TCD and Disp, α∈[0,1].

[0073]

[0074] Among them, xi and yi represent two time domain sample points of electromagnetic wave pulse signal, x i+δ It represents the moving sample point of xi, the subscript represents the time, m is the total number of time domain points of the signal, and δ is the moving factor of the signal x, which ranges from (0, m).

[0075] To this end, the difference between TCD and the constant b is defined as the similarity distance between the two time domain signals, that is,

[0076] d xy =b-dist(x,y)

[0077] And d xy The smaller it is, the higher the similarity of the time domain waveforms is.

[0078] The specific steps are as follows:

[0079] Step a. Assume that there are M pulse signals {x1, x2, …, x M}, the four broadband antennas perform cyclic detection according to a preset time, such as 10s, and then aggregate the collected electromagnetic wave pulse signals into a data group. Initially, each pulse signal is regarded as an individual class separately, and the above formula d xy = b-TCD(x,y) calculates the similarity distance d between each two categories i,j ;

[0080] Step b. Set these similarity distances d i,j Arrange them in order from large to small, select the two categories with the smallest similarity distance and merge them into one category. At this time, the number of categories is M-1;

[0081] Step c. Recalculate the similarity distance between the newly generated class and the remaining classes;

[0082] Step d. Repeat the iterative merging process, that is, repeat steps bc until all clusters are merged into two clusters, calculate the average value of the peak values ​​of the pulse signals in the two clusters, and select the cluster with the larger average value as the partial discharge signal cluster.

[0083] The time domain waveform and frequency domain waveform of the partial discharge signal and the interference signal are shown in Figure 5 , the left side shows the time domain waveform and frequency domain waveform of the partial discharge signal, and the right side shows the time domain waveform and frequency domain waveform of the interference signal. Although both signals show steep pulse characteristics, the difference between them can be clearly seen from the waveforms. The peak value of the partial discharge (PD) signal is about 10 mV. In the time domain waveform, the selected blue part does not contain the steep pulse signal, while the white part contains these signals. These two parts correspond to the blue line and the white line in the frequency domain waveform, respectively. By comparison, it can be seen that the spectral components of the partial discharge signal are mainly concentrated below 600 MHz. On the other hand, the peak value of the interference signal is about 8 mV. From the comparison of the frequency domain waveforms, it can be seen that its spectral components are mainly distributed below 400 MHz. Figure 6 The results of the cross-correlation analysis between the PD signal and the interference signal are shown. The maximum value of the cross-correlation function is 0.175, which indicates that the waveform similarity of the two signals is very low.

[0084] After that, the partial discharge signal after clustering algorithm analysis is spatially located. Usually, a sensor array composed of four broadband antennas is used to detect the electromagnetic wave signal of partial discharge. By reading the starting time of each signal and making a difference, six relative propagation time values ​​(i.e., propagation time difference or arrival time difference) are obtained. Then, based on these propagation time differences, a propagation time-distance difference equation group is established, also known as a time difference equation group. For example, if the propagation time from the discharge radiation source P to the sensor S1 is t1, then the distance r1 from point P to S1 satisfies r1=c*t1, where c is the wave velocity of the electromagnetic wave. For other sensors Si, the corresponding distance relationship equation can be established according to the relative time difference 1i=t-ti (i=2,3,4) between the signal reaching the reference sensor S1 and the sensor Si. Finally, by solving the above time difference equation group, the position coordinates of the discharge source are obtained.

[0085] In this implementation case, we use a spatial grid optimization algorithm to solve this set of equations, namely the positioning algorithm. This method is based on the principle of the shortest optical path of electromagnetic wave propagation and has the advantages of high computational efficiency and suitability for engineering applications. Figure 4 As shown, the specific steps are:

[0086] Step A, dividing the monitoring area of ​​the converter transformer into a plurality of small grid areas, n in total, each grid representing a potential partial discharge source location;

[0087] Step B: Set the grid spacing size to 2 meters and determine the position coordinates Sj(xj,yj) of the four broadband antennas (j=1…4). For each grid node Ni(xi,yi), i=1…n, calculate its distance to the four broadband antennas as Lij. Then, according to the electromagnetic wave speed c and Lij, the propagation time t from the grid node Ni to the antenna Sj is obtained. ij ;

[0088] Step C: Construct the theoretical arrival time difference vector, that is, for each grid node Ni, calculate its arrival time for the four broadband antennas and obtain the theoretical arrival time difference vector of each grid node

[0089] Step D: The time difference vector of the actual partial discharge signal arriving at the four broadband antennas obtained after cluster analysis in actual monitoring is the actual arrival time difference vector t of the array P , we can record the time points at which the same real PD signal reaches the four broadband antennas respectively, and calculate the actual arrival time difference vector t according to step C. P ,

[0090] The spatial grid optimization algorithm is used to calculate the theoretical arrival time difference vector of each grid point using the following formula: The actual arrival time difference vector t P The shortest distance to the grid node N k The coordinates are the location coordinates of the partial discharge signal.

[0091]

[0092] Step 5: The control host stores the completion result of the monitoring task in the solid state drive or transmits it to the host computer in real time, or retrieves historical partial discharge data such as partial discharge signal waveform data and historical indicator data from the solid state drive to execute the historical query task.

[0093] At the same time, it can also monitor each hardware device and software program in real time to determine whether a partial discharge signal occurs. If so, an alarm signal is immediately sent to the host computer, and a fault clearance signal is sent after the fault is cleared. The alarm information is then stored in the local database according to a predetermined data frame structure for future reference.

[0094] In order to verify the feasibility of the quaternary antenna array based commutation transformer partial discharge monitoring and positioning system of the present invention, we conducted the following experiments:

[0095] After the detected pulse signal was located at the equipment level in a substation in Shanghai, the positioning results are as follows: Figure 7 In order to more intuitively show the relative position relationship between the converter transformer, broadband antenna and positioning results, the top view of the converter transformer is added to the figure. Figure 7 It can be seen that the signal marked by the green dot (suspected to be a partial discharge signal) is precisely located in the vicinity of the bushing on the grid side of the converter transformer. Based on this location information, it can be preliminarily inferred that the signal is likely to come from the gap on the right side of the bushing or the converter transformer body, and these signals have leaked into the surrounding space. The subsequent actual disassembly work verified this point, that is, the actual partial discharge defect is indeed located in the upper part of the grid coil of the converter transformer column 1; on the other hand, the red dots represent interference signals, which are located on the right side of the monitoring area. Combined with the actual situation on site, there is a running oil filter near this location, which may be the main cause of these interference signals. In this way, not only can the partial discharge signal be effectively distinguished from the external interference source, but it can also provide an important reference for subsequent fault diagnosis and maintenance.

[0096] In order to verify the effect of our positioning algorithm, typical TDOA algorithms were selected for comparison, including the two-step weighted least squares method (TS-WLS), which improves robustness in noisy environments through step-by-step optimization, but is more complex to implement and its performance depends on the quality of the position estimate obtained in the first step. The Chan-Ho algorithm uses linearization to simplify the calculation and is suitable for small-scale positioning. When the target is far away, the positioning accuracy will decrease due to the increase in error caused by linear approximation. The Taylor series expansion method is suitable for dealing with nonlinear problems and provides high accuracy but relies on good initial values; the closed-form solution (CFS) provides a fast and direct analytical solution, which is usually only applicable under specific conditions, such as when the distance between receivers is relatively small. In addition, these methods may be sensitive to measurement errors. The particle filter (PF) performs well in dealing with dynamic and nonlinear scenarios, but has a large computational overhead because a large number of particles need to be maintained to represent the posterior probability distribution, and there is a problem of particle degradation, which requires regular resampling to maintain diversity. Maximum likelihood (GCC) can provide the optimal solution under ideal noise conditions, but the computational complexity is high, especially when searching for the global optimal solution in a multidimensional search space, a lot of computing resources are required; in addition, this method is very sensitive to the choice of initial values, and inaccurate initial guesses may lead to convergence to local extreme values ​​rather than the global optimal solution; the PSO algorithm is easy to implement, explores the solution space by simulating the social behavior of bird flocks or fish schools, has good global search capabilities, and is suitable for solving nonlinear and non-convex optimization problems; however, PSO also has some disadvantages, including the possibility of falling into local optimal solutions, critical parameter settings (such as inertia weights, acceleration coefficients, etc.), and slow convergence when dealing with large-scale problems.

[0097] The above algorithm is used to solve 10 times, and the error with the actual partial discharge source coordinates is calculated, such as Figure 8 The 10 solutions of other TDOA algorithms are unstable and have large errors, while the error results of the algorithm proposed in this paper have small fluctuations and are relatively small and stable.

[0098] Although specific embodiments of the present invention are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely examples and that various changes or modifications may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is limited by the appended claims.
