Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power equipment manufacturing, and particularly relates to a transformer drying process control system and method based on artificial intelligence technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] Transformer drying processing is a crucial link in the process of power equipment manufacturing, and has a direct impact on the insulation performance, service life and operation safety of the transformer. The quality of the internal insulation system of the transformer is crucial, and is a key factor to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the transformer under high voltage and high charge. Drying processing is one of the basic links to ensure the quality of the insulation system in the manufacturing and maintenance process.

[0003] The traditional transformer drying process includes hot air circulation, vacuum drying and other methods, which can effectively remove the moisture content in the insulation material, but has the significant shortcomings of low efficiency, long drying time and high energy consumption. The VD-109 type closed cycle hot air vacuum drying equipment currently applied in actual production combines closed cycle hot air and vacuum drying technology, so that the drying efficiency of transformers with voltage grade below 35kV is improved, and high-temperature humid gas does not need to be discharged to the workshop during the drying process, improving the production environment. The transformer drying process of the equipment includes six stages of closed cycle hot air, preheating, step-by-step vacuum, intermittent vacuum, high vacuum and end point judgment.

[0004] However, the existing process for judging the drying end point relies on the fixed parameter settings of the equipment manufacturer, and lacks scientific and intelligent models to support real-time data analysis and dynamic judgment of the transformer. This leads to the following technical problems in actual drying operation: 1) low drying efficiency: the drying end point judgment process is tedious, and the complete drying process of a transformer usually requires repeated vacuum operation and temperature cycling, and long-term stage monitoring. The static operation mode judgment and repeated operation of the existing equipment make the drying process time-consuming, resulting in low production efficiency; 2) energy waste: during the drying process, long-time high-temperature heating and vacuum pumping operation consumes a large amount of energy, resulting in high power consumption. The static preset mode of the existing equipment cannot accurately control the parameter settings and end point time according to the specific transformer and environmental conditions, which may cause unnecessary extension of the drying time, resulting in energy waste and increasing the production cost of enterprises; 3) unstable drying quality: since the parameters of each stage are set based on past experience, there is a lack of real-time feedback control mechanism, so that the drying effect is easily affected by environmental conditions and the initial state of the transformer core, resulting in fluctuations in drying quality.

[0005] In summary, in order to realize dynamic modeling and optimization control of key parameters in the drying process, thereby improving the efficiency and precision of the transformer in the closed cycle hot air-transformer vacuum drying process, and reducing unnecessary energy consumption in the production process, we propose a transformer drying process control system and method based on artificial intelligence technology.
