Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power grids, and particularly to a method for identifying the load risk of a main transformer based on the load characteristics of the main transformer. Background Art

[0002] Transformers play a crucial role in the power system. The load capacity of the main transformer is usually determined by its rated capacity. When the transformer operates under the rated load, it can effectively convert the input high voltage into the output low voltage. The load types of the main transformer mainly include inductive loads, capacitive loads, and pure resistive loads. Inductive loads will cause the power factor to decrease, thereby affecting the effective load capacity of the transformer. Understanding the load characteristics of the main transformer helps to optimize the operation of the power system and improve the reliability and safety of power supply. In practical applications, monitoring and analyzing the load characteristics of the transformer are also important measures to ensure its long-term stable operation.

[0003] Some existing power grid transformer equipment, due to being in a heavy load or overloaded state for a long time, will accelerate the aging of components, reduce the service life of the equipment, and bring potential faults and operation risks to the power grid. Therefore, the treatment of heavy load and overload has always been an important part of the power grid operation and maintenance work. However, the workload of spot inspection and maintenance is relatively large. For overloaded transformers, maintenance personnel take corresponding measures after receiving an alarm, resulting in a relatively complex treatment method and low efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
