Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of UHV fire protection, and particularly to a method and platform for simulating the explosion and combustion of a UHV converter transformer's line side bushing failure. Background Art

[0002] The converter transformer is one of the important component devices in the UHV DC transmission project, and its normal operation is the basis of the UHV DC transmission system. The line side bushing of the converter transformer is affected by electricity, heat, mechanical stress and the environment. At the same time, the high voltage and large current it bears will damage its insulation performance, and it is a component with relatively fast aging in the converter transformer. In recent years, converter transformer accidents caused by bushing explosions have occurred many times at home and abroad. The explosion problem of the line side high-voltage bushing of the converter transformer has become one of the important factors affecting its safe and stable operation.

[0003] Currently, the fault detection and diagnosis of the line side bushing of UHV converter transformers is one of the research hotspots. The existing technologies mainly focus on detecting potential faults in advance by monitoring various parameters of the bushing, such as oil temperature, oil chromatography, partial discharge, etc. These technologies can help maintenance personnel discover problems in time and take corresponding measures to avoid the further development of faults. However, for the research on the fire protection technology of the line side bushing of UHV converter transformers, the previous related research mainly includes using special fire extinguishing agents, designing reasonable fire extinguishing systems, and developing bushing structures with self-extinguishing functions.

[0004] The Chinese invention patent with the patent publication number CN114636901A discloses a test system for the explosion characteristics of a transformer line side bushing, including a detonating charge column arranged in the conducting rod, a high-speed camera for taking images of the explosion fireball, and a number of pressure sensors arranged in sequence along the horizontal ray direction of the geometric center of the detonating charge column. These sensors are used to collect the overpressure data of the explosive explosion. This patented technology uses explosives to simulate the explosion. The explosion process of the converter transformer is as follows: a large amount of rapid cracking of the transformer oil caused by the high-energy arc of the converter transformer will produce a physical explosion, resulting in the rupture of the fuel tank. After the high-temperature cracked gas sprays out from the rupture port and contacts the air, a chemical explosion occurs. This process is significantly different from the overpressure characteristics of the explosive explosion, and the overpressure of the explosive explosion usually only lasts for several milliseconds, while the overpressure process generated by the deflagration of the transformer oil can last for hundreds of milliseconds. Therefore, using explosives to simulate the explosion cannot present the process of the line side bushing deflagration with a physical explosion first and then a chemical deflagration, nor can it obtain the critical energy values of the arc energy leading to the first physical explosion and the second chemical explosion under real conditions to provide support for explosion protection and pressure relief design.

[0005] Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN111122195A discloses an experimental platform for simulating the fire of ultra-high voltage converter transformers. By changing the oil tank model, the simulation and reproduction of the fire with riser and the full liquid surface fire can be realized respectively. In addition, by changing the fire extinguishing medium and the setting method of the fire extinguishing system, the fire extinguishing efficiency of different fire extinguishing systems can be compared and verified. The following problems exist in this patent:

[0006] First, the patented technology only simulates the high-temperature environment of pool fire and cannot simulate the process of a large amount of rapid cracking of transformer oil caused by a high-energy arc generated by a fault in the line side bushing of the converter transformer, resulting in a physical explosion that causes the oil tank to rupture, and the chemical explosion that occurs when the high-temperature cracked gas ejects from the rupture and meets the air. Therefore, the patented technology cannot obtain the critical energy values of the primary physical explosion and the secondary chemical explosion caused by arc energy under real conditions, nor can it provide support for explosion protection and pressure relief design.

[0007] Second, in the patented technology, the pool fire takes 1 minute or even longer to reach the fully burning stage, while the deflagration fire of the converter transformer often reaches the maximum fire power within a few seconds. Therefore, the patented technology cannot reproduce the real deflagration fire of the converter transformer.

[0008] Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN116430185A discloses an ultra-high voltage converter transformer fault signal simulation test platform. The platform design includes key components such as a simulation test oil tank and a high-voltage simulation test bushing. The platform can realize accurate simulation tests of various fault signals such as gas production, oil temperature, current-carrying, and internal discharge. However, this document focuses on the detection of early internal faults of the transformer and cannot simulate the process of a large amount of rapid cracking of transformer oil caused by a high-energy arc in the converter transformer, resulting in a physical explosion that causes the oil tank to rupture, and the chemical explosion that occurs when the high-temperature cracked gas ejects from the rupture and meets the air. Therefore, it is impossible to obtain the critical energy values of the primary physical explosion and the secondary chemical explosion caused by arc energy under real conditions, nor can it realize the real-time monitoring of dynamic data such as the temperature inside the riser, the vibration and deformation of the cylinder body.

[0009] In summary, the existing test devices and methods have the following deficiencies:

[0010] First, it is impossible to simulate the complete process from the generation of a high-energy arc caused by a fault in the line side bushing of the converter transformer, which leads to rapid cracking of transformer oil and a sudden increase in pressure, to the physical explosion superimposed on the chemical explosion, and it is impossible to truly reproduce the deflagration process of the converter transformer. Moreover, there is a lack of a complete test method for the deflagration test of the converter transformer.

[0011] Second, there is a lack of a critical calculation method for the primary physical explosion and secondary chemical explosion of the UHV converter transformer's line-side bushing failure deflagration under different arc energy conditions, making it impossible to accurately obtain key data such as the pressure, temperature, and deformation of the oil tank and riser under different arc energies, and thus it is difficult to comprehensively support the theoretical research and technical improvement of transformer explosion protection and pressure relief design. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method that can accurately simulate the dynamic evolution characteristics of physical explosion and chemical explosion during the failure deflagration of the UHV converter transformer's line-side bushing.

[0013] To solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0014] A method for simulating the failure deflagration test of the UHV converter transformer's line-side bushing, characterized by including: based on the arc energy fault model, by setting different simulated fault arc energy conditions, calculating the arc energy value under the short-circuit condition of the riser of the UHV converter transformer's line-side bushing, and thereby determining the critical energy threshold for the primary physical explosion and the secondary chemical explosion, so as to obtain the critical conditions for the bushing failure deflagration.

[0015] Among them, the arc energy fault model is obtained through the following steps:

[0016] S10, set the test groups under different voltages to simulate the internal arc discharge test of the riser.

[0017] S20, according to the test voltage and current values to be simulated, connect the fault arc energy test circuit to the simulated UHV converter transformer's line-side bushing platform, first adjust the discharge gap in the simulated UHV converter transformer's line-side bushing platform to the maximum, and then gradually reduce the discharge gap, and conduct the tests in sequence according to the test groups.

[0018] S30, the data acquisition system obtains the deflagration data of the simulated UHV converter transformer's line-side bushing platform during the arc discharge test.

[0019] S40, externally connect a gas chromatography device to conduct chromatographic detection on the transformer oil in the oil tank before and after the test, obtain gas chromatography data, and combine the constructed arc energy fault model to obtain the "energy-gas-explosion" mapping relationship.

[0020] S50, compare the calculation results of the arc energy fault model with the experimental data obtained in step S30 to verify the rationality of the arc energy fault model.

[0021] In an embodiment of the present invention, the arc energy fault model includes an arc energy model inside the UHV converter transformer and a pressure model inside the overheated transformer oil vapor.

[0022] Among them, obtaining the arc energy model inside the UHV converter transformer includes:

[0023] According to Equation (1), calculate the arc energy:

[0024]

[0025] In the formula: W arc is the total arc energy, Δt is the arc duration, u arc and i arc are the voltage drops at both ends of the fault point and the arc current respectively;

[0026] Assume that the arc voltage drop per unit length is constant during the arc burning process, simplify the physical process of the arc fault, and obtain Equation (2):

[0027] u arc = E0l arc , (2);

[0028] In the formula: E0 is the electric field strength per unit length, always a positive value; l arc is the arc length, the arc current i arc is the current value, the arc duration is Δt, and thus substitute Equation (2) into Equation (1), and calculate the arc energy level generated when the transformer fails through Equation (3):

[0029]

[0030] If the current i arc is constant, then Equation (3) is further simplified to obtain Equation (4), which is used as the arc energy model inside the UHV converter transformer:

[0031] W arc = E0l arc i arc Δt, (4);

[0032] b. Obtain the pressure model inside the overheated transformer oil vapor, including:

[0033] Assume that part of the total energy W arc released by the arc is converted into the internal energy of the gas, and part is lost to the surrounding medium. Let there be an energy conversion ratio α, then the energy W heat used to heat and vaporize the oil is:

[0034] W heat = αW arc , (5);

[0035] In the formula: α is the proportion of the arc energy used to heat and vaporize the insulating oil;

[0036] The energy Wheat For heating the liquid transformer oil from the initial temperature to the vaporization temperature and completing vaporization, the absorbed energy is equal to the enthalpy increase:

[0037] W heat = m gas ΔH oil , (6);

[0038] Where: m gas is the mass of the gas, and ΔH oil is the enthalpy increase during the process of the liquid insulating oil rising from the normal operating temperature to the vaporization temperature; from equations (5) and (6), the mass of the cracked gas is obtained:

[0039] m gas = αW arc / ΔH oil , (7);

[0040] Regarding the cracked gas as an ideal gas, it satisfies the state equation (8):

[0041] p gas V gas = nRT, (8);

[0042] Where: n = m gas / M gas is the number of moles of the gas, M gas is the molar mass of the oil vapor, R is the gas constant, T is the gas temperature, V gas is the gas volume, and p gas is the bubble pressure;

[0043] Combining the mass m gas of the gas and substituting equation (7) into equation (8), the expression for the bubble pressure p gas is:

[0044]

[0045] For an ideal gas, the specific internal energy per unit mass μ gas is defined as:

[0046]

[0047] Where: c v is the specific heat at constant volume; and also because:

[0048]

[0049] Where: γ gas is the specific heat ratio, c p is the specific heat at constant pressure. Combining equations (11) and (12) gives:

[0050]

[0051] Substitute the specific internal energy per unit mass μ gas into Equation (10) to obtain:

[0052]

[0053] Substitute Equation (14) into the initial bubble pressure p gas into Equation (9) to obtain:

[0054]

[0055] During the cracking process of transformer insulating oil, take the temperature T of the cracked gas gas as the gasification temperature T of the insulating oil vap :

[0056] T gas = T vap , (16);

[0057] Substitute Equation (16) into Equation (15) to obtain Equation (17), which is used as the pressure model inside the superheated transformer oil vapor:

[0058]

[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, the critical conditions for the deflagration of the bushing fault include the critical conditions for only physical explosion of the bushing and the critical conditions for physical and superimposed chemical explosion of the bushing; among them,

[0060] Based on the pressure model inside the superheated transformer oil vapor, by calculating the internal pressure value of the bubble, use it as the critical parameter for determining only physical explosion; analyze the fault arc energy through the arc energy model, and combine the dynamic relationship between the cracked gas volume and the arc energy to derive the critical energy thresholds for physical explosion and chemical explosion, as the composite critical parameter for determining the superimposed trigger of physical and chemical explosion.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, the critical condition for only physical explosion of the bushing is:

[0062] When the bubble pressure P gas exceeds the tolerance pressure P of the fuel tank limit , physical explosion occurs:

[0063] P gas ≥ P limit , (18);

[0064] In the formula, P gas is the bubble pressure, and P limit is the tolerance pressure of the fuel tank; among them, the tolerance pressure P of the fuel tank limit is obtained through Equation (19):

[0065] Substitute Equation (17) into Equation (18) and take P gas = P limit , and obtain the physical explosion critical value P of the arc energy limit :

[0066]

[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, the critical condition for the physical and chemical superposition explosion of the casing is:

[0068] W arc ≥ max(W physical , W chemical )

[0069] Among them, W physical is the physical explosion critical energy, W chemical is the chemical explosion critical energy, and W arc is the arc energy.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the chemical explosion critical energy in the critical condition for the physical and superposition chemical explosion of the casing includes:

[0071] Let the proportion of the arc energy used for cracking be β, and the number of moles of hydrogen and acetylene generated is:

[0072]

[0073] Among them, η i is the cracking yield of gas i, and ΔH f,i is the molar formation enthalpy of gas i, and endothermic is positive;

[0074] The total volume of the mixed cracking gas is the fuel tank volume V tank , and the volume concentration is:

[0075]

[0076] In the formula, c i is the volume concentration of gas i;

[0077] Explosion lower limit determination:

[0078] The explosion lower limit of the mixed cracking gas is calculated according to the Le Chatelier's law:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, is the volume fraction of each gas, LEL i is the explosion lower limit of gas i, and LEL mix is the explosion lower limit of the mixed cracking gas;

[0081] When the mixing concentration ∑ i c i ≥LEL mix a chemical explosion is triggered; by combining the gas volume and arc energy relationships in equations (20), (21), and (22), and taking the critical ∑ i c i =LEL mix , the critical energy of the chemical explosion is obtained:

[0082]

[0083] Among them, the critical energy of the physical explosion is obtained through equation (23):

[0084]

[0128] In the theoretical research on the fault characteristics of transformer arc discharge, the test platform of the present invention has obtained effective test data such as pressure, temperature, vibration, and oil tank deformation inside the line side riser 2 and the oil tank 3 under arc discharge faults by equipping with a variety of sensors. It can measure the changes of pressure, temperature, and strain in real time, accurately quantify the performance parameters and damage conditions under short-circuit conditions, reveal the distribution of explosion energy, and thus provide a theoretical basis for the critical value of deflagration overpressure. In addition, gas chromatography technology is used to collect and analyze the gases released during the thermal decomposition of transformer oil samples in real time. Combining the gas chromatography data (such as the concentrations of H2 and C2H2) with the arc energy model, an "energy-gas-explosion" mapping relationship is established.

[0129] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for simulating deflagration of the line side bushing fault of a UHV converter transformer, including: based on the arc energy fault model, by setting different simulated fault arc energy conditions, calculating the arc energy value under the short-circuit condition of the UHV converter transformer, and determining the critical energy threshold of the primary physical explosion and the secondary chemical explosion therefrom, so as to obtain the critical conditions for bushing fault deflagration. Among them, the arc energy fault model is obtained through the following steps:

[0130] S10, set test groups under different voltages to simulate the arc discharge test inside the riser.

[0131] In an embodiment of the present invention, two test groups under different voltages are set to simulate the arc discharge test inside the riser, as shown in Table 1 specifically.

[0132] Table 1 Test parameters under different voltages

[0133]

[0134] S20, connect the fault arc energy test circuit and the simulation platform of the line side bushing of the UHV converter transformer according to the test voltage and current values to be simulated. First, adjust the discharge gap inside the simulation platform of the line side bushing of the UHV converter transformer to the maximum, and then gradually reduce the discharge gap, and conduct tests in sequence according to the test groups.

[0135] In this embodiment, after the simulation platform of the line side bushing of the UHV converter transformer is installed and checked without error, in order to simulate the actual fault situation and explore the characteristics of arc fault deflagration accidents, two test groups under different voltages are set.

[0136] Connect the bushing platform on the line side of the simulated UHV converter transformer to the fault arc energy test circuit, and adjust the discharge gap inside the bushing platform on the line side of the simulated UHV converter transformer to the maximum. In this embodiment, the maximum discharge gap is 20 mm. First, conduct the test with the minimum test current of 5 kA, and observe the arc ignition situation inside the bushing platform on the line side of the simulated UHV converter transformer. If the arc fails to persist within 100 ms, adjust the discharge gap and conduct the test successively from 20 mm, 15 mm, 10 mm, and 5 mm. After each test, check the bushing platform on the line side of the simulated UHV converter transformer:

[0137] a. The riser 2 should not burst due to internal pressure.

[0138] b. The bushing platform on the line side of the simulated UHV converter transformer should not catch fire.

[0139] c. The pressure relief device 5 should open.

[0140] Repeat the test: Determine whether to adjust the discharge gap again according to the test situation, conduct the next test, and adjust the specific discharge gap value.

[0141] S30. The data acquisition system obtains the deflagration data of the bushing platform on the line side of the simulated UHV converter transformer under the arc discharge test.

[0142] In this embodiment, through the data acquisition system, dynamic data of key technical parameters such as pressure, temperature, and strain during the deflagration process can be obtained.

[0143] In this embodiment, specifically, the arc voltage and current data are collected in real time through the arc voltage dividers FH1 and FH2 and the shunt resistors FL1 and FL2 to provide the voltage-current waveform diagram of the test group. As Figure 6 shown, it can be seen that the pressure data waveform on the upper part of the cylinder body of the riser 2 has the following characteristics: The pressure wave first generates a relatively high peak waveform and is transmitted to the cylinder body, and then is transmitted, reflected, and attenuated inside the riser 2. At the same time, due to the damage of the structure of the riser 2, the pressure drops sharply after the first transient pressure wave peak. The pressure wave characteristics can be applied to the internal arc fault detection of the transformer and the energy transfer model of physical explosion.

[0144] By deploying the optical fiber thermometer 12 inside the riser 2 in the arc generation area, the tank 3 and other positions, record the temperature change during the millisecond-level gasification process of the transformer insulation oil, and obtain data such as the initial oil temperature (22.5 °C) and gasification temperature of the transformer insulation oil. This data can be used for theoretical calculation and determination of the deflagration critical value.

[0145] The dynamic strain value induced by the transient pressure wave can be captured through the strain gauge 11 deployed on the riser 2. As Figure 7As shown, the maximum deformation measured by the strain gauge pasted on the lower part of the cylinder of the elevation seat 2 is 1861.36ε, where ε is the unit of deformation. According to Hooke's law, the local stress on the surface of the bushing platform on the network side of the simulated UHV converter transformer can be calculated to determine whether it exceeds the material yield strength. The acquisition of stress parameters is conducive to scientifically setting the pressure relief threshold and avoiding structural overload.

[0146] By performing chromatographic detection on the transformer oil samples in the oil tank 3 before and after the test, the combustible gas components and concentration change data generated by the cracking of the transformer oil vapor can be obtained, realizing the simulation process of chemical explosion when the high-temperature cracked gas ejects from the rupture opening and encounters air. Further analyze the key gas components in the deflagration process, and combine data such as pressure and temperature to establish a more accurate multi-physical-field coupled deflagration model.

[0147] S40, externally connect a gas chromatograph to perform chromatographic detection on the transformer oil in the oil tank before and after the test, obtain gas chromatographic data, and combine the constructed arc energy fault model to obtain the "energy-gas-explosion" mapping relationship.

[0148] In this embodiment, the arc energy fault model includes the arc energy model inside the UHV converter transformer and the pressure model inside the overheated transformer oil vapor.

[0149] a. The arc energy model inside the UHV converter transformer:

[0150] When internal short-circuit faults such as turn-to-turn short circuits occur in the transformer, local arcs usually form at the fault location. For transformers, especially when arc faults occur in the elevation seat 2 area, the generation amount of transformer oil vapor and the generation of pressure waves are closely related to the energy of the arc fault. The arc energy can be calculated according to the following formula, which is expressed as the integral of the product of the arc voltage and current:

[0151]

[0152] In the formula: W arc is the total arc energy, Δt is the arc duration, u arc and i arc are the voltage drop across both ends of the fault point and the arc current respectively. To simplify the physical process of the arc fault, it is assumed that the arc voltage drop per unit length is constant during the arc burning process. Therefore, the arc voltage u arc is only related to the arc length, that is:

[0153] u arc = E0l arc , (2);

[0154] In the formula: E0 is the electric field strength per unit length, which is always positive, and can also be understood as the arc voltage drop per unit length during the arc burning process; l arcis the arc length, generally related to the severity of the fault; the arc current i arc Namely, for the current value and the arc duration Δt, it can be obtained by using the sensors inside the transformer. Substituting Equation (2) into Equation (1), the arc energy level generated when the transformer fails can be calculated as follows:

[0155]

[0156] If the current i arc is approximately constant (such as the short-circuit steady-state current), then Equation (3) is further simplified to:

[0157] W arc = E0l arc i arc Δt, (4);

[0158] b. Pressure model inside the overheated transformer oil vapor:

[0159] Assume that the total energy W arc released by the arc is partially converted into the internal energy of the gas and partially lost to the surrounding medium. Let there be an energy conversion ratio α, that is, the proportion of the energy used to heat and vaporize the insulating oil. Then the energy W heat used for heating and vaporizing the oil is:

[0160] W heat = αW arc , (5);

[0161] In the formula: α is the proportion of the arc energy used to heat and vaporize the insulating oil, and generally takes a value of 40% - 60%. This energy W heat is used to heat the liquid transformer oil from the initial temperature to the vaporization temperature and complete vaporization. The absorbed energy is equal to the enthalpy increase:

[0162] W heat = m gas ΔH oil , (6);

[0163] In the formula: m gas is the mass of the gas, with the unit of kg, and ΔH oil is the enthalpy increase during the process of the liquid insulating oil rising from the normal operating temperature to the vaporization temperature, with the unit of J / kg. From Equation (5) and Equation (6), the mass of the cracked gas can be obtained:

[0164] m gas = αW arc / ΔH oil , (7);

[0165] The cracked gas can be approximately regarded as an ideal gas and satisfies the state equation:

[0166] pgas V gas = nRT, (8);

[0167] Where: n = m gas / M gas is the number of moles of gas, M gas is the molar mass of the oil vapor, R is the gas constant, T is the gas temperature, V gas is the gas volume, p gas is the bubble pressure. Combining m gas , substituting Equation (7) into Equation (8), the expression for the bubble pressure p gas is:

[0168]

[0169] For an ideal gas, the specific internal energy per unit mass μ gas is defined as:

[0170]

[0171] Where: c v is the specific heat at constant volume, M gas is the molar mass of the oil vapor. Also, since:

[0172]

[0173] Where: γ gas is the specific heat ratio, c p is the specific heat at constant pressure. Combining Equation (11) and Equation (12), we can obtain:

[0174]

[0175] Substituting into the expression for the specific internal energy per unit mass μ gas Equation (10) gives:

[0176]

[0177] Substituting the above equation into the original expression for the bubble pressure p gas Equation (9) gives:

[0178]

[0179] During the cracking process of transformer insulating oil, the temperature of the cracking gas can be approximated as the vaporization temperature T vap of the insulating oil:

[0180] T gas = T vap , (16);

[0181] Substituting Equation (16) into Equation (15) gives:

[0182]

[0183] The critical conditions for the deflagration of the bushing failure include the critical conditions for only physical explosion of the bushing and the critical conditions for physical and superimposed chemical explosion of the bushing. Based on the pressure model inside the overheated transformer oil vapor, by calculating the internal pressure value of the bubble, it is used as the critical parameter for judging only physical explosion. Through the arc energy model, the fault arc energy is analyzed, and combined with the dynamic relationship between the volume of cracked gas and the arc energy, the critical energy thresholds for physical explosion and chemical explosion are deduced, as the composite critical parameters for judging the superimposed trigger of physical and chemical explosion.

[0184] c. Critical conditions for physical explosion:

[0185] In this embodiment, when the bubble pressure P gas exceeds the tolerance pressure P limit of the fuel tank, physical explosion occurs:

[0186] P gas ≥P limit , (18);

[0187] Substituting Equation (17) into Equation (18) and taking P gas =P limit the physical explosion critical value of the arc energy can be obtained:

[0188]

[0189] d. High energy state, that is, the critical conditions for physical explosion superimposed with chemical explosion:

[0190] When the arc energy continues to increase, the transformer oil vapor will crack at high temperature to generate a large amount of hydrogen and short-chain acetylene. When the concentration of the cracked gas exceeds the lower explosion limit (LEL), physical explosion occurs first and then chemical explosion is superimposed. Let the proportion of the arc energy used for cracking be β, and the number of moles of hydrogen and acetylene generated is:

[0191]

[0192] where η i is the cracking yield of gas i, which is related to the temperature, and ΔH f,i is the molar formation enthalpy of gas i, and endothermic is positive.

[0193] The total volume of the mixed cracked gas is the fuel tank volume V tank , and the volume concentration is:

[0194]

[0195] In the formula, c i is the volume concentration of gas i.

[0196] Determination of lower explosion limit:

[0197] The lower explosion limit (LEL) of the mixed cracking gas is calculated according to Le Chatelier's law:

[0198]

[0199] in is the volume fraction of each gas, LEL i is the lower explosion limit of gas i, LEL mix is the lower explosion limit of the mixed cracking gas. i c i ≥LEL mix When , the chemical explosion is triggered. Combine the gas volume and arc energy relationship equations (20), (21) and (22), and take the critical ∑ i c i =LEL mix Obtaining critical energy of chemical explosion:

[0200]

[0201] Comprehensive physical and chemical explosion conditions, critical energy W chemical Must also meet the following requirements:

[0202] 1. Physical conditions: W arc ≥W physical ;

[0203] 2. Chemical conditions: W arc ≥W chemical ;

[0204] in,

[0205] Finally, the critical conditions for the physical and chemical superposition explosion of the casing are:

[0206] W arc ≥max(W physical ,W chemical ), (25);

[0207] S50, comparing the calculation result of the arc energy fault model with the experimental data obtained in step S30 to verify the rationality of the arc energy fault model.

[0208] The flashover and deflagration of the line-side bushing of UHV converter transformers are closely related to the arc energy of internal transformer faults. The higher the arc energy of internal transformer faults, the more likely it is to cause the explosion of the oil tank. According to the arc energy fault model of S40, the arc energy level caused by the short circuit of UHV converter transformers and the critical energy values of primary physical explosion and secondary chemical explosion can be accurately calculated. Through this model, the dynamic changes of key parameters such as pressure and temperature inside the oil tank 3 and the riser 2 under different arc energies can also be analyzed. By comparing the theoretical calculation results with the experimental data obtained in S30, the rationality of the theoretical model can be verified, so as to deeply study the deflagration characteristics under different working conditions and provide more perfect theoretical support and technical guarantee for the safe operation of power equipment.

[0209] Specific example

[0210] According to step S10, taking the data obtained under the working condition of "test group parameters: voltage 43 kV, current 30 kA, duration 150 ms, discharge gap 5 mm" as an example for theoretical calculation:

[0211] a. The arc energy model inside the UHV converter transformer:

[0212] W arc = E0l arc i arc Δt;

[0213] Where: E0 is the electric field strength per unit length, with a value of 600 V / mm; l arc is the arc length, with a value of 5 mm; from the test parameters, the arc current i arc = 30 kA, and the arc duration Δt = 150 ms. From this, the arc energy level generated when the transformer fails can be calculated:

[0214] W arc = 600×5×30×10 3 ×0.15 = 13.5 MJ;

[0215] b. The pressure model inside the superheated transformer oil vapor:

[0216]

[0217] Where: the energy conversion ratio α has a value of 50%; the vaporization temperature T vap of the transformer oil has a value of 1200 K; the specific internal energy per unit mass of the gas μ gas has a value of 180 kJ / kg; the specific heat ratio γ gas has a value of 1.25; the enthalpy increase ΔH oil has a value of 500 kJ / kg; the gas volume V gas has a value of 3 m 3, from which the bubble pressure can be calculated as follows:

[0218]

[0219] c. Physical explosion critical condition

[0220] When the bubble pressure P gas exceeds the tolerance pressure P of the fuel tank limit , a physical explosion occurs:

[0221] P gas ≥P limit ;

[0222] According to the measured pressure relief valve value, the tolerance pressure P of the fuel tank limit is taken as 1.0 MPa, that is, 1.15 MPa > 1.0 MPa, triggering a physical explosion, which is consistent with the operation of the experimental pressure relief device.

[0223] d. High energy state:

[0224] Combining the relationship between the combined gas volume and the arc energy, the calculation formula for the chemical explosion critical energy is obtained:

[0225]

[0226] The lower explosion limit LEL of the mixed pyrolysis gas mix is taken as 10%; the fuel tank volume V tank is taken as 25 m 3 , the enthalpy of formation Σ i ΔH f,i is taken as 512 kJ / mol, the pyrolysis energy ratio β is taken as 20%, and the pyrolysis yield ∑ i η i is taken as 50%; thus, the chemical explosion critical energy is obtained as:

[0227]

[0228] Criterion for physical and chemical superimposed explosion of the casing:

[0229] From the physical explosion critical pressure formula Replace each parameter with the critical parameter to obtain the physical explosion critical energy:

[0230] Chemical explosion critical energy:

[0231]

[0232] Finally, according to the critical conditions for physical and chemical superimposed explosion of the casing: W arc ≥max(W physical , W chemical) That is, 13.5 MJ > max(11.79 MJ, 12.80 MJ), then physical and chemical superimposed explosions occur, which is completely consistent with the experimental phenomena.

[0233] Result analysis:

[0234] In this embodiment, typical pressure data measured at various points on the riser and the side wall of the valve hall are selected for analysis. The working conditions are as follows: the test voltage is 43 kV, the test current is 30 kA, with the timing signal as the 0 moment, the current starting time is 0.805 ms, and the duration is 101.4 ms. A physical explosion of the transformer riser bursting is superimposed with a chemical deflagration, and the maximum value (relative to the initial pressure value) of the pressure at each measuring point under this working condition is obtained as shown in Table 2 below:

[0235] Table 2 Pressure test results

[0236]

[0237] It can be seen that the measured maximum pressure at the riser manhole is 1.2986 MPa, and the predicted pressure by the theoretical model is 1.15 MPa. The error source may be that the theoretical model assumes that the gas is completely enclosed and does not consider the dynamic pressure relief effect of the pressure relief device (the pressure relief device operates during the test). In addition, the theoretical model assumes a uniform pressure distribution, while the pressure wave generated by the actual explosion will be reflected, superimposed, and attenuated due to the tank structure (such as the riser, flange), resulting in the theoretical value being slightly lower than the measured value, with an error of about 11.4%, which is within the engineering allowable range, verifying the rationality of the model.

[0238] In addition, under the condition of high-energy discharge, due to the limited deformation ability of the oil tank itself, it is very difficult to avoid the occurrence of combustion and explosion accidents only by strengthening the tank body structure. Therefore, it is one of the key points to prevent the riser from catching fire and exploding by timely discharging the high-pressure oil-gas mixture inside the riser before a sufficient concentration of gas is formed inside the oil tank. Based on the theoretical explosion critical values (W physical = 11.79 MJ, W chemical = 12.80 MJ), an adaptive pressure relief algorithm is developed to adjust the trigger threshold in real time (such as from 1.0 MPa to 0.8 MPa), which can reduce the risk of deflagration.

[0239] The arc energy fault model assumes that the temperature of the cracked gas is approximately the gasification temperature of the insulating oil. However, the actual temperature may be significantly higher than this value because the arc energy heats the surrounding transformer oil through heat conduction and convection, causing the oil to crack and generate combustible gas, and the concentrated energy released by the arc leads to local ultra-high temperature, which in turn triggers secondary chemical deflagration. Therefore, the determination of the temperature range has important guiding significance for optimizing the pressure relief design, improving the effectiveness of the fire protection system, and ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0240] The analysis of the components and contents of pyrolysis gases in transformer oil is a core method for diagnosing internal faults, evaluating insulation status, and predicting risks. By quantitatively analyzing key gases (such as H2, C2H2, C2H4, etc.) and their dynamic changes, the types of faults, such as overheating, discharge, and insulation aging, can be accurately located. At the same time, the concentration of combustible gases, ignition energy, and oxygen content are the key critical conditions for the development from a primary physical explosion to a secondary chemical deflagration. Studying these processes and conditions has important theoretical and practical significance for preventing transformer deflagration accidents and improving the safety and reliability of the power system.

[0241] The key technical parameter of strain can be used as an auxiliary determination for the occurrence of deflagration. When the local stress approaches the yield strength, the test device may undergo plastic deformation or even rupture. Therefore, by monitoring the strain data, the positions with higher strain peaks in the test device can be identified, reminding that the design of this area needs to be thickened or strengthened, which is beneficial to setting the trigger pressure threshold of the pressure relief device.

[0242] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention.
