Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automation technology, and particularly to an on-line temperature measurement system for high-voltage electrical equipment nodes. Background Art
[0002] The 6KV reactor knife switch of the refining transformer has been used for more than 10 years. For long-term operating equipment, the contact resistance of the contacts is prone to aging and increase. When the load is large, it is prone to overheating. There have been many cases where the three-phase contact temperatures of the reactor knife switches of the first-phase expansion line B and the diesel hydrogenation line B are seriously unbalanced; the 6KV high-voltage switchgear has a closed structure, and only indirect temperature measurement measures such as temperature-testing wax pieces can be used. There have been many cases where the temperature-testing wax pieces in the incoming line cabinet have changed color, and the currently used hand-held temperature measurement equipment (infrared thermometer) cannot measure the actual temperature of the contacts through the switchgear; the main transformer of the refining transformer is an 110KV extra-high voltage equipment. Since it is an oil-filled equipment, it is necessary to measure the temperature at the contacts, check the overall operation for local overheating, and conduct comparative analysis. It is necessary to conduct long-distance non-contact observation of local temperature rise to achieve predictive maintenance.
[0003] Currently, the existing temperature measurement technologies mainly use temperature-testing wax pieces, infrared thermometers, etc. for temperature measurement. The temperature-testing wax pieces can only change color when the temperature exceeds the set temperature, and the overheated point has already formed, which is not conducive to early detection of the temperature rise trend and eliminating overheating in the budding state. Although the infrared thermometer can measure the temperature more accurately, it cannot penetrate closed containers, switchgears, etc. Therefore, it is impossible to accurately measure the internal contacts of many equipment, and the operating equipment is prone to accidents such as equipment aging, damage, insulation breakdown, and burnout due to overheating, affecting the safe operation of electrical equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an on-line temperature measurement system for high-voltage electrical equipment nodes, which solves the problems that the existing temperature measurement technologies cannot timely detect the temperature rise trend and cannot penetrate closed containers, switchgears, etc., resulting in inaccurate measurement of the internal contacts of many equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: An on-line temperature measurement system for high-voltage electrical equipment nodes, comprising: a temperature measurement module A, which is used to measure the temperature of the main transformer body, high- and low-voltage porcelain insulators, and lead joints; a temperature measurement module B, which is used to monitor the temperature of the cabinet body, upper and lower contacts, etc. inside the 6KV switchgear; a temperature measurement module C, which is used to monitor the real-time temperature of the reactor knife switch; a data transmission and aggregation module, which is used to collect, store, and transmit temperature data so that the upper computer can obtain the temperature data in real time and perform corresponding processing and display; Main monitoring system, which is used to analyze and calculate the acquired data, and can set the allowable values of temperature and temperature rise according to the allowable value of the temperature of the equipment contact point.

[0008] Preferably, the A temperature measurement module adopts the infrared temperature measurement method for the main transformer of the refinery.
[0009] Preferably, both the B temperature measurement module and the C temperature measurement module adopt an infrared dot matrix temperature measurement device for temperature measurement.
[0010] Preferably, the main monitoring system adopts wireless sensor network technology for data acquisition and transmission of each temperature measurement module.
[0011] Working principle: During the working process, for the infrared temperature measurement of the main transformer in the refining and chemical transformation main transformer in the A temperature measurement module, an online thermal imager H2 with a network interface is used to measure the temperature of the main transformer body, high and low voltage porcelain insulators, and lead joints. At the same time, the infrared dot matrix temperature measurement devices in the B temperature measurement module and the C temperature measurement module will detect the temperature of the cabinet body, upper and lower contacts, etc. inside the 6KV switch cabinet, as well as monitor the real-time temperature of the reactor knife switch. At this time, the MLX90640 module collects the temperature data and sends it to the single-chip microcomputer through the serial port 1 of the single-chip microcomputer. The single-chip microcomputer receives the temperature data and stores it in the internal register. The host computer sends a temperature data request to the single-chip microcomputer through the RS485 bus, using the MODBUS communication protocol. At this time, after receiving the request from the host computer, the single-chip microcomputer sends the real-time temperature data to the host computer through the RS485 bus. After receiving the temperature data, the host computer will perform further processing and display. The monitoring host will display various indicators of the temperature data, such as the ambient temperature, the highest and lowest temperatures of the collection points. At the same time, the computer analysis and calculation unit analyzes and calculates the temperature data to form a real-time temperature curve.
