A separate low-voltage DC power supply system is configured in the thermal power plant to supply power to these secondary equipment, ensuring reliable power supply for important loads such as protection, metering, monitoring, and lighting.

[0003] In the complex operation scenarios of a thermal power plant, the low-voltage DC system faces diverse fault challenges, and the root causes of these faults are numerous and complex. Due to the wide distribution of system equipment in different environmental conditions with significant temperature differences, the tolerance of equipment insulation materials is challenged, and it is prone to aging, deterioration, or even damage due to fluctuations in environmental temperature or current thermal effects, thereby triggering grounding faults. In addition, improper planning during system design and renovation, as well as mistakes in operation processes such as equipment installation and commissioning, also lead to grounding faults in the DC system. According to the specific causes of the faults, they can be refined into various types, including but not limited to grounding caused by water seepage in the junction box in rainy environments, accidental grounding caused by small animals straying into the equipment area, and grounding due to insulation layer breakage caused by physical contact between equipment.

[0032] In order to make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Embodiment 1, referring to Figure 1 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides an insulation monitoring method for the low-voltage DC system in a thermal power plant, including:

[0034] In S1: Measure the voltage values of the positive and negative poles to the ground.

[0035] In S2: Based on the voltage values of the positive and negative poles to the ground, calculate the insulation resistances of the positive and negative poles to the ground respectively.

[0036] In S3: Combine the insulation resistance and the leakage current data of the branch to locate the faulty branch.

[0037] Furthermore, in the DC power supply system of a thermal power plant, DC cables are the connecting lines between various electrical instruments and automation devices. DC cables mainly include conductor cores, insulation layers, metal shielding layers, protective layers, etc. According to different requirements of the working environment and location, the composition structure of DC cables has some differences. For example, cables laid in indoor cable trenches, pipelines or underground need to withstand greater mechanical external forces, and an armored metal layer needs to be added to prevent damage to the internal conductor cores, insulation layers, shielding layers, etc.; DC cables in flame-retardant situations also require a flame-retardant sheath to meet the fire prevention requirements.

[0038] In the circuit design of the DC system in a thermal power plant, due to its characteristics of light load and small rated current, a refined DC cable structure is often adopted, including various configurations such as 2-core, 4-core, and 5-core. The core conductor of the cable is woven from multi-strand copper or aluminum stranded wires with high conductivity. In terms of the insulation layer, advanced materials such as oil-impregnated paper, high-quality rubber, and high-density polyethylene are used to tightly wrap around the conductor to ensure the safety of electrical insulation and enhance the durability of the cable. At the same time, fillers are filled between the conductor cores to make the cable shape regular and the internal structure stable. To improve the anti-interference ability of the cable, a shielding layer composed of a finely woven copper mesh is designed to tightly wrap around the outside of the conductor cores, and through an effective grounding mechanism, effectively shield external electromagnetic interference and ensure the purity and stability of signal transmission. The protective layer is made of aluminum and lead materials, and its strong outer shell provides strong mechanical protection for the cable, resists physical damage during transportation and laying, and has moisture-proof performance to ensure that the cable maintains a good working state in a complex environment. In summary, the design of the DC circuit cables in a thermal power plant comprehensively considers factors such as high-efficiency conduction, safe insulation, stable structure, anti-interference, and durable protection to meet the high-demand operating environment of the power plant. The cross-section of a two-core DC cable is as Figure 2 shown.

[0039] The equivalent model of the DC cable is as Figure 3 shown, including a positive conductor core, a negative conductor core, and a grounding shielding layer.

[0040] Figure 3 where: R p , R n , R g are the stray resistances of the positive conductor core, negative conductor core, and shielding layer of the low-voltage DC cable per unit length, with the unit of Ω / m, reflecting the active power loss effect generated when the circuit passes current; L p , L n , L g are the stray inductances of the positive conductor core, negative conductor core, and shielding layer per unit length, with the unit of nH / m; M p-n , M p-g , M n-gStray mutual inductances between the positive and negative line cores per unit length, between the positive line core and the grounding shield, and between the negative line core and the grounding shield, in nH / m; G p-n , G p-g , G n-g Stray conductances between the positive and negative line cores per unit length, between the positive line core and the grounding shield, and between the negative line core and the grounding shield, in S / m; C p-n , C p-g , C n-g Stray capacitances between the positive and negative line cores per unit length, between the positive line core and the grounding shield, and between the negative line core and the grounding shield, in nF / m.

[0041] Furthermore, for the insulation resistance measurement by unbalanced bridge - branch leakage current detection, that is, the voltage signal is measured by the unbalanced bridge method, and relevant calculations are performed on the collected voltage to calculate the insulation resistance value. The working principle is as follows: The insulation monitoring device periodically (such as daily) switches the K+ and K- switches alternately, and at the same time, the voltage values of the positive and negative poles to the ground are measured synchronously during this process. Based on these measured values, the insulation resistances of the positive and negative poles to the ground are calculated respectively to achieve the monitoring of the insulation state. Once it is found that the insulation resistance value of a certain pole to the ground decreases, the system will further use the data provided by each leakage current sensor to accurately locate the faulty branch. The principle of the insulation resistance measurement method is as Figure 4 shown.

[0042] Figure 4 In the figure: R+ and R- are the equivalent insulation resistances of the positive and negative pole cables of the entire low - voltage DC system to the ground. Their magnitudes are closely related to the conductance per unit length of the DC cable and are easily affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, and mechanical damage. They are the monitoring targets of the insulation monitoring device.

[0043] When K+ (positive pole) is closed and K- (negative pole) is open, the measured voltage of the positive line to the ground is U 1 , and the measured voltage of the negative line to the ground is U 2 ; when K+ is open and K- is closed, the measured voltage of the positive line to the ground is U' 1 , and the measured voltage of the negative line to the ground is U' 2 . According to the principle of resistance voltage division, the following relationships exist for the voltages of the positive and negative lines to the ground:

[0044]

[0045] The equivalent insulation resistances of the positive and negative poles to the ground can be expressed as:

[0046]

[0047] The insulation resistance of the low-voltage DC cable can be obtained by rotating and switching the positive pole-to-ground resistance and the negative pole-to-ground resistance in the unbalanced bridge. The structure of the insulation monitoring device configured for the low-voltage DC cable in a thermal power plant is as Figure 5 shown.

[0048] The insulation monitoring device configured for the low-voltage DC cable in a thermal power plant mainly includes 24 branch loads. Each branch is equipped with a separate leakage current sensor. The current detected by the leakage current sensor is the algebraic sum of the currents on the positive pole, the negative pole, and the shielding layer. The same set of unbalanced bridges is shared for this section of the busbar.

[0049] Furthermore, in order to analyze the influence of the stray parameters of the low-voltage DC cable on the measurement performance of the insulation monitoring device, this paper uses finite element analysis to analyze the stray resistance, inductance, and their frequency-varying characteristics of the low-voltage DC cable.

[0050] The DC resistance per unit length of the low-voltage DC cable can be expressed as:

[0051]

[0052] where r 1 represents the resistance per unit length of the low-voltage DC cable; ρ represents the conductor resistivity; s represents the rated cross-sectional area of the low-voltage DC cable. Under the DC field, the current is evenly distributed on the conductor cross-section. The oscillation frequency during the transient switching process of the unbalanced bridge proposed in this paper is below 10 kHz. In this frequency band, the DC resistance per unit length of the low-voltage DC cable is almost unchanged, and the frequency-varying characteristics do not need to be considered. The DC resistance is directly used as the stray resistance parameter of the cable. The resistance per unit length of the cable is 0.0115 Ω / m, and the resistance per unit length of the shielding layer is 0.00097 Ω / m.

[0053] The stray inductance of the low-voltage DC cable is the magnetic flux linked with different conductors generated by the magnetic field under the excitation of unit current, and is expressed as:

[0054]

[0055] where Ψ p , Ψ g , Ψ n are the total magnetic fluxes linked with the positive core, the negative core, and the shielding layer respectively; L pp is the self-inductance of the positive core; L gg is the self-inductance of the shielding layer; L m is the self-inductance of the negative core; L p-g is the mutual inductance between the positive core and the shielding layer; L n-p is the mutual inductance between the positive core and the negative core; L n-g is the mutual inductance between the negative core and the shielding layer. The total magnetic flux of each DC cable includes I p , I g , In The magnetic flux corresponding to the magnetic field of the excitation source.

[0056] Specifically, taking Ψ p as an example, it includes Ψ p generated by I pp , Ψ g generated by I g-p , and Ψ n generated by I n-p . Similarly, it can be obtained that Ψ n includes Ψ nn , Ψ n-p and Ψ g-n ; Ψ g includes Ψ gg , Ψ n-g and Ψ p-g . The magnetic flux corresponding to the cable inductance is as Figure 6 shown.

[0057] In the frequency band of 0 - 10 kHz, the external magnetic flux (external inductance) of the low - voltage DC cable is hardly affected. The external magnetic flux (external inductance) dominates, so the uneven current distribution has a relatively small overall impact on the self - inductance. Therefore, the frequency - varying characteristics of the cable can be ignored.

[0058] This embodiment also provides an insulation monitoring system for the low - voltage DC system of a thermal power plant, including a voltage detection module that periodically rotates and switches the positive and negative switches through the insulation monitoring device, and simultaneously measures the voltage values of the positive and negative poles to the ground during the switching process; an insulation calculation module that calculates the insulation resistances of the positive and negative poles to the ground respectively based on the measured voltage values of the positive and negative poles to the ground, introducing miscellaneous parameter correction according to the resistance voltage - division principle; and a positioning module that locates the faulty branch by combining the insulation resistance and the leakage current data of the branch.

For the purposes of this specification, a "computer-readable medium" can be any device that can contain, store, communicate, propagate, or transmit a program for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device.

[0063] Example 2, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides an insulation monitoring method for the low-voltage DC system of a thermal power plant. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.

[0064] In order to verify the effectiveness of the insulation monitoring method for the low-voltage DC system of a thermal power plant proposed herein, a simulation model is built on the Matlab / Simulink platform as Figure 5 shown. The simulation parameters of the low-voltage DC cable are shown in Table 1.

[0065] Table 1 Low-voltage DC cable simulation parameters

[0066]

[0067] The curve of insulation resistance changing with time and its partial enlarged view are respectively as Figure 7 shown below.

[0068] Based on Figure 7 data analysis: In the preliminary calculation of insulation resistance, the unbalanced bridge-branch leakage detection method may be lower than the actual value. If the calculated value that has not reached the steady state is adopted, it will increase the risk of misjudgment of the equipment. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy of insulation monitoring, the calculation result after the resistance value stabilizes should be used as the evaluation standard. For a detailed analysis Figure 7 In the left figure is the change curve. Before 0.01 seconds, both the positive and negative switches are off, and the circuit is open. The resistance cannot be directly calculated by voltage measurement, so the resistance value is shown as 0 at this time. At 0.01 seconds, the closing of any switch will cause a change in voltage measurement and start the resistance calculation process, accompanied by the charging and discharging process of the cable equivalent capacitance, marking the transition of the circuit from the non-steady state to the steady state. Taking the positive pole grounding fault as an example: Under normal conditions, the voltage of the positive pole to the ground is 110V, the voltage of the negative pole to the ground is -110V, and the equivalent capacitances between the positive and negative poles to the ground and each other are all charged. If the positive pole is grounded, the voltage of the positive pole to the ground drops suddenly, the voltage of the negative pole to the ground rises, while the voltage between the positive and negative poles remains unchanged. This change causes the equivalent capacitance of the positive pole to the ground to discharge, and the equivalent capacitance of the negative pole to the ground to charge, experiencing a transitional stage of charge redistribution and balance. As Figure 7 shown in the partial enlarged view, after the transitional stage is completed, the calculated resistance value finally stabilizes at 499.47Ω, and the insulation resistance value can be calculated more accurately.

[0069] The simulation results show that using the value of the calculated resistance after reaching the steady state as the basis for insulation monitoring can more accurately reflect the actual condition of the insulation resistance of the low-voltage DC cable, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of insulation monitoring. The insulation monitoring method for the low-voltage DC system of thermal power plants proposed in this paper has certain engineering application value.

[0070] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
