Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transformer discharge positioning in a power system, and in particular to a transformer partial discharge positioning method and device based on bushing CT acquisition. Background Art

[0002] Transformers are crucial equipment in power systems, and their safe and stable operation is crucial to their overall operation. Partial discharge (PD), a major cause of transformer failure, is a key method for detecting the insulation condition of transformers. When PD occurs in a transformer, the most pressing issue is determining its location and whether the signal originates from within the transformer.

[0003] Existing transformer partial discharge locating methods primarily include ultrasonic positioning, ultra-high frequency (UHF) signal positioning, and high-frequency multi-terminal detection technology. The ultrasonic positioning method uses ultrasonic sensors to receive the ultrasonic signals generated by partial discharge. Using the time difference between each sensor receiving the signal, the corresponding equations are solved to determine the specific coordinates of the partial discharge location. The ultra-high frequency positioning method uses an antenna to receive the ultra-high frequency electromagnetic signals generated by partial discharge within the transformer, combining arrival time and amplitude attenuation differences to achieve positioning. The principle of high-frequency multi-terminal detection technology is that high-frequency partial discharge pulses generated in multiple windings of the transformer propagate to the head and end of each terminal, forming a partial discharge monitoring network. By simultaneously measuring high-frequency partial discharge pulse signals at multiple terminals and comparing characteristic information such as the partial discharge pulse amplitude and polarity, it is possible to distinguish external interference and determine the type and location of partial discharge.

[0004] However, while ultrasonic positioning has good resistance to electromagnetic interference, it has low sensitivity for detecting internal transformer discharges and results in large errors in the equations it solves. Ultra-high frequency (UHF) positioning is susceptible to interference from on-site UHF electromagnetic signals, placing high demands on receiving devices such as antennas. Furthermore, it also requires solving equations, which limits positioning accuracy. Finally, current high-frequency multi-terminal detection technology uses high-frequency current sensors connected to the bushing end screen to measure partial discharge signals. This device lacks reliability, suffers from severe electromagnetic interference, and exhibits high signal attenuation, which reduces reception performance. Summary of the Invention

[0031] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] Among the existing transformer partial discharge locating methods, the ultrasonic locating method has a low sensitivity to detecting internal discharge in the transformer, resulting in large errors in solving the equation set. The ultra-high frequency locating method is easily interfered with by ultra-high frequency electromagnetic signals on site, places high demands on receiving devices such as antennas, and also requires solving the equation set, which limits the accuracy of positioning. The high-frequency multi-terminal detection technology uses a high-frequency current sensor drawn from the end screen of the bushing to measure the partial discharge signal. The device has insufficient reliability, severe electromagnetic interference, and high signal attenuation, which reduces the receiving performance. Therefore, the purpose of this application is to provide a transformer partial discharge locating method and device that can quickly identify external interference and internal partial discharge signals, is not subject to electromagnetic interference, and accurately locates the discharge position.

[0033] like Figure 1 FIG2 is a flow chart of a transformer partial discharge location method based on bushing CT acquisition provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method includes the following steps:

[0034] Step S101: collecting high-frequency partial discharge pulse signals from the secondary terminals of the current transformer of the transformer bushing, wherein the transformer bushing includes a high-voltage side bushing, a medium-voltage side bushing, a neutral point bushing, a low-voltage side head-end bushing, and a low-voltage side end bushing.

[0035] In this embodiment, the secondary side terminals of the current transformers at these bushings can be connected to an oscilloscope or other observation equipment via a protective resistor to collect the corresponding high-frequency partial discharge pulse signals. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a wiring diagram of a high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal acquisition method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The wiring diagram is drawn to avoid repeated intersections with capacitor branches and does not represent the actual location. Figure 2 In the figure, a, x, Am, A, and X represent the transformer bushing terminals at the low-voltage head end, low-voltage tail end, medium-voltage, high-voltage, and neutral point, respectively. L1 and L2 represent the low-voltage winding, L3 and L4 represent the common winding for the high and medium voltage windings (referred to as the common winding), and L5 and L6 represent the high-voltage series winding. C1, C2, C3, and C4 represent the capacitances between the low-voltage winding and the core, the common winding and the low-voltage winding, the high-voltage series winding and the common winding, and the housing and the high-voltage series winding, respectively.

[0036] Step S102: performing discrete wavelet decomposition on the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal to obtain wavelet coefficients.

[0037] Because the collected high-frequency partial discharge pulse signals typically contain significant low-frequency background noise, this can mask the pulse signal's polarity characteristics and hinder polarity determination in subsequent steps. Therefore, this application requires removing the background noise from the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signals. This embodiment employs a wavelet threshold denoising algorithm to remove background noise.

[0038] Since the collected high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal is a time series, it can be recorded as x(t), t=1, 2, ..., N, and N is the signal length.

[0039] In this step, the original signal x(t) is first decomposed into discrete wavelet by the following formula (1) to obtain the wavelet coefficients:

[0040] (1)

[0041] In the above formula a j ( n ) is the approximate coefficient, d j ( n ) is the detail coefficient, h is a low-pass filter, g is a high-pass filter, j is the number of decomposition layers.

[0042] Step S103: Select a soft threshold function to perform threshold processing on the wavelet coefficients to perform denoising.

[0043] Specifically, this step can be expressed by the following formula (2):

[0044] (2)

[0045] In the above formula W j,k Indicates the j Tierk Wavelet coefficients w j,k The corresponding wavelet coefficients after denoising, sgn(.) is the sign function; λ is a fixed threshold value, the value is:

[0046] (3)

[0047] In the above formula, σ is the standard deviation of the noise signal, N is the signal length.

[0048] Step S104: reconstructing the signal using the denoised wavelet coefficients to obtain a high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal after removing the background noise.

[0049] The signal reconstruction formula is shown in the following formula (4):

[0050] (4)

[0051] In the above formula, y ( t ) is the reconstructed signal, J is the total number of decomposition layers. In this embodiment, the wavelet basis function is selected as db4 wavelet, and the total number of decomposition layers is set to ,in is the floor function.

[0052] Step S105: performing amplitude correction on the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal after background noise removal based on the frequency response characteristics of the current transformer to obtain a corrected pulse signal.

[0053] In actual work, the models of current transformers in various bushings of transformers are different, resulting in differences in the transmission capabilities of high-frequency partial discharge pulse signals.

[0054] Preferably, in order to eliminate the influence of this factor, this embodiment corrects the pulse signal amplitude based on the characteristic that the frequency response of the bushing current transformer is unchanged, such as Figure 3 As shown, this step may further include the following sub-steps:

[0055] Step S1051: injecting a calibration pulse signal into the end of any selected bushing of the transformer, and calculating the frequency spectrum of the calibration pulse signal.

[0056] Assume that the injected calibration pulse signal is p ( t ), use the following formula (5) to calculate the spectrum of the calibration pulse p ( jω ):

[0057] (5)

[0058] In the above formula, j is the imaginary unit, ω is the normalized angular frequency.

[0059] Step S1052: Collect the induction signal from the secondary port of the selected bushing and calculate the spectrum of the induction signal. Specifically, the spectrum of the induction signal is calculated according to the following formula (6):

[0060] (6)

[0061] In the above formula, R ( jω ) is the spectrum of the induced signal, r ( t ) is the induction signal at the secondary port of the selected bushing.

[0062] Step S1053: Calculate the frequency response of the selected casing using the spectrum of the calibration pulse signal and the spectrum of the sensing signal. Specifically, the frequency response of the selected casing is calculated according to the following formula (7):

[0063] (7)

[0064] In the above formula, H ( jω ) is the frequency response of the selected bushing.

[0065] Step S1054: Calculate the spectrum of the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal of the selected bushing. The high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal here refers to the pulse signal after removing the background noise, so the calculated spectrum is also the spectrum after removing the noise. Specifically, it is calculated according to the following formula (8):

[0066] (8)

[0067] In the above formula, Y ( jω ) is the spectrum of the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal after removing the background noise, y ( t ) is the corresponding high-frequency partial discharge pulse time domain signal, j is the imaginary unit, ω is the normalized angular frequency, N is the signal length.

[0068] Step S1055: Calculate the spectrum of the original pulse transmitted to the selected bushing using the spectrum of the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal and the frequency response. Specifically, the spectrum of the original pulse of the selected bushing is obtained according to the following formula (9):

[0069] (9)

[0070] In the above formula, Z ( jω ) is the spectrum of the original pulse of the selected casing.

[0071] Step S1056: Obtain a time domain signal based on the spectrum of the original pulse by inverse discrete Fourier transform. Specifically, the time domain signal is obtained according to the following formula (10):

[0072] (10)

[0073] In the above formula, z ( t ) is the time domain signal.

[0074] Step S1057: Take the modulus of the time domain signal and find the maximum value to obtain the corrected amplitude, which is shown in the following formula (11):

[0075] (11)

[0076] In the above formula, N is the signal length, M is the correction amplitude.

[0077] Step S106: Based on the polarity distribution rule of the modified pulse signal, determine whether the transformer partial discharge is external interference or internal partial discharge. If it is external interference, proceed to step S107; if it is internal partial discharge, proceed to step S108.

[0078] When the transformer is subject to external interference or internal partial discharge occurs, the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signals induced in different bushing current transformers will exhibit different polarity characteristics.

[0079] When the transformer is subject to external interference, the interference signal penetrates from the top of a bushing, reaches the other end of the winding along the winding direction, and reaches other sensing locations through the capacitance between the windings, the capacitance between the winding and the box shell, and the capacitance between the winding and the iron core. During this period, the current direction does not change, so the pulse signal polarity flowing through the current transformer of each bushing is the same. Taking the high-voltage series winding and the common winding as an example, the current polarity can be seen in Figure 4 shown.

[0080] When the transformer discharges internally, the local discharge point can be regarded as a pulse source, sending high-frequency current pulse signals with opposite polarities to both sides, causing the pulse signals between the bushing current transformers to have opposite polarities. Taking the high-voltage series winding and the common winding as an example, the current polarity can be seen in Figure 5 As shown, the dotted line and the solid line represent high-frequency partial discharge pulse signals with opposite propagation directions.

[0081] Therefore, this step may further include: determining whether the polarities of the correction pulse signals corresponding to the bushings are the same; if they are the same, determining that the partial discharge of the transformer is external interference; if they are different, determining that the partial discharge of the transformer is internal partial discharge of the transformer.

[0082] Step S107: comparing the amplitudes of the corrected acquisition signals corresponding to the bushings, and the position corresponding to the bushing current transformer with the largest amplitude is the interference source injection position.

[0083] The amplitude of the bushing current transformer injected with external interference signal is the highest, which is obviously larger than that of other bushing current transformers. M A 、MA m 、M a , taking the high-voltage side bushing current transformer as an example, if the following conditions are met at the same time:

[0084] M A > K M MA m and M A > K M M a ;

[0085] It is determined that the interference signal invades from the high voltage side, in the above formula K M is the amplitude coefficient, usually in the range of 1.1~1.2.

[0086] Step S108: Based on the attenuation characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal propagating in the winding and in combination with the pre-injected calibration square wave signal, the distance ratio between the partial discharge position and the winding head end is calculated to determine the discharge position.

[0087] When partial discharge occurs inside the transformer, the high-frequency pulse signal generated by the discharge source will propagate along both sides of the winding to the bushing current transformer. Since the electric and magnetic field strengths of the high-frequency pulse decay exponentially with increasing propagation distance, the amplitudes of the pulse signals received by the bushing current transformers at both ends of the winding will be different. Figure 2 Take the corresponding low voltage winding as an example, Figure 6 As shown, the total length of the winding is l , the distance between the discharge point and the winding head is d .

[0088] like Figure 7As shown, this step may further include the following sub-steps:

[0089] Step S1081: before the partial discharge detection test begins, a calibration square wave signal with the same charge amount is injected into the beginning and end of the winding to be tested, respectively, to obtain the electric field strength at the beginning and end of the winding to be tested.

[0090] In this embodiment, the winding to be tested is described as a low-voltage winding. That is, in this step, a calibration square wave signal with the same charge amount is injected into the beginning and end of the low-voltage winding respectively. The attenuation constant of the electromagnetic wave in the low-voltage winding is recorded as , at this time:

[0091] (12)

[0092] In the above formula, E a 、 E x are the electric field strengths at the beginning and end of the low-voltage winding respectively.

[0093] Step S1082: obtaining the electromagnetic energy of the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal collected at the head end and the end bushing of the winding to be measured based on the electric field strength.

[0094] The electromagnetic energy of the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal is proportional to the square of the electric field strength, that is:

[0095] (13)

[0096] (14)

[0097] In the above formula, C is a constant; 、 is the electromagnetic energy of the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal received by the low-voltage head-end and end-end bushing current transformers, defined as:

[0098] (15)

[0099] (16)

[0100] in z a ( i ), z x ( i ), i= 1, 2, ..., N It is the time series of the pulse signal collected by the low-voltage head-end and end-end bushing current transformer after amplitude correction.

[0101] From this we can get:

[0102] (17)

[0103] In the above formula is the attenuation constant of electromagnetic waves in the low-voltage winding.

[0104] Step S1083: obtaining the signal energy at the beginning and the end of the winding to be measured based on the length of the winding to be measured, the electromagnetic energy and the electric field strength amplitude of the high-frequency pulse at the partial discharge location.

[0105] If the distance from the low voltage winding head is d Discharge occurs at the test point, and the signal energy at the beginning and end of the low voltage winding are respectively 、 , then:

[0106] (18)

[0107] (19)

[0108] In the above formula 、 The definition of 、 same; c is a constant; E m is the electric field intensity amplitude of the high-frequency pulse at the local discharge location.

[0109] Step S1084: obtaining a distance ratio between the partial discharge position and the winding head end based on the electromagnetic energy and the signal energy, and then determining the discharge position.

[0110] After simplifying and combining the above equations (18) and (19), we have:

[0111] (20)

[0112] (twenty one)

[0113] In the above formula, x is the distance between the partial discharge location and the winding head.

[0114] From this, we can conclude that the ratio of the partial discharge position to the winding head end is:

[0115] (twenty two)

[0116] The common winding and the high voltage series winding also have the same rules as the low voltage winding. For example, the present invention can define the first end of the common winding as the medium voltage side bushing lead terminal A. mThe end is the neutral point bushing lead-out terminal X; the first end of the high-voltage series winding is defined as A, and the end is defined as A m .

[0117] As can be seen from the above, the transformer partial discharge positioning method based on bushing CT acquisition proposed by the present invention reduces the interference factor of background noise, eliminates the influence of the bushing current transformer on the reception of high-frequency partial discharge pulse signals, and simplifies the method for determining the location of transformer partial discharge. Specifically, through polarity discrimination, it helps to quickly identify external interference and internal partial discharge signals, avoid malfunction of protection devices, and provide a basis for fault analysis and maintenance work. For external interference, by comparing the signal amplitudes of each bushing current transformer, the injection position of the interference source can be directly determined. For internal discharge, the attenuation characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal in the winding are utilized, combined with the calibration signal, and the distance ratio from the discharge point to the winding head end is calculated to achieve precise positioning.

[0118] like Figure 8 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a transformer partial discharge positioning device based on bushing CT acquisition provided by an embodiment of the present application. The device includes: a signal acquisition unit 810, a wavelet decomposition unit 820, a denoising unit 830, a signal reconstruction unit 840, an amplitude correction unit 850, a discharge type determination unit 860, a first positioning unit 870, and a second positioning unit 880. Among them:

[0119] The signal acquisition unit 810 is used to collect high-frequency partial discharge pulse signals from the secondary side terminals of the current transformer of the transformer bushing, wherein the transformer bushing includes a high-voltage side bushing, a medium-voltage side bushing, a neutral point bushing, a low-voltage side head end bushing and a low-voltage side end bushing.

[0122] The signal reconstruction unit 840 is configured to reconstruct the signal using the wavelet coefficients after background noise removal, to obtain the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal after background noise removal.

[0123] The amplitude correction unit 850 is configured to perform amplitude correction on the high-frequency partial discharge pulse signal after background noise removal based on the frequency response characteristics of each bushing current transformer to obtain a corrected pulse signal.

[0124] The discharge type determination unit 860 is configured to determine whether the transformer partial discharge is caused by external interference or internal partial discharge based on the polarity distribution rule of the modified pulse signal.

[0125] The first positioning unit 870 is configured to compare the amplitudes of the corrected acquisition signals corresponding to the bushings when the discharge type determination unit determines that the signal is external interference, and the position corresponding to the bushing current transformer with the largest amplitude is the interference source injection position.

[0126] The second positioning unit 880 is used to determine the discharge position when the discharge type judgment unit determines that there is partial discharge inside the transformer, based on the attenuation characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal propagating in the winding, combined with the pre-injected calibration square wave signal, by calculating the distance ratio from the partial discharge position to the winding head end.

[0127] Preferably, Figure 9 As shown, the amplitude correction unit 850 may further include:

[0128] The first spectrum calculation module 851 injects a calibration pulse signal into the end of any selected bushing of the transformer and calculates the spectrum of the calibration pulse signal.

[0129] The second spectrum calculation module 852 is configured to collect the induction signal from the secondary port of the selected bushing and calculate the spectrum of the induction signal.

[0134] The amplitude correction module 857 is used to take the modulus of the time domain signal and find the maximum value to obtain the corrected amplitude.

[0135] Preferably, the above-mentioned discharge type judgment unit 860 is specifically used to: judge whether the polarity of the correction pulse signal corresponding to each bushing is the same; if so, it is judged that the partial discharge of the transformer belongs to external interference; if not, it is judged that the partial discharge of the transformer belongs to internal partial discharge of the transformer.

[0136] Preferably, Figure 10 As shown, the second positioning unit 880 may further include:

[0137] The electric field strength acquisition module 881 is used to inject calibration square wave signals with the same charge amount into the beginning and end of the winding to be tested before the partial discharge detection test begins, so as to obtain the electric field strength at the beginning and end of the winding to be tested.

Specifically, through polarity discrimination, it helps to quickly identify external interference and internal partial discharge signals, avoid malfunction of protection devices, and provide a basis for fault analysis and maintenance work. For external interference, by comparing the signal amplitudes of each bushing current transformer, the injection position of the interference source can be directly determined. For internal discharge, the attenuation characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal in the winding are utilized, combined with the calibration signal, and the distance ratio from the discharge point to the winding head end is calculated to achieve precise positioning.
