Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of substation equipment condition monitoring, and particularly relates to a method and system for monitoring the breathing resistance of a transformer respiratory system. Background Art
[0002] At present, large transformers in China are mainly oil-filled transformers. The volume of transformer oil changes under different temperature conditions and is connected to the outside through an oil conservator. On the one hand, the oil conservator bears the thermal expansion and contraction of the transformer oil, and on the other hand, it is also the channel for the internal pressure of the transformer to contact the external environment. The normal breathing of the gas inside the oil conservator is extremely important for the operation of the transformer. When the breathing is unobstructed, it will cause the gas on the oil surface of the transformer to be unable to be discharged in time, resulting in an increase in the internal pressure of the transformer body. In the lightest case, it will cause oil leakage, and in the most serious case, it will cause the pressure relief valve to act or the heavy gas to act and trip, which is crucial for the stable operation of the power system.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to determine a method and system for monitoring the breathing resistance of a transformer respiratory system to realize the real-time monitoring of the health status of the transformer respiratory system. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method and system for monitoring the breathing resistance of a transformer respiratory system, which can diagnose the health status of the transformer respiratory system according to the gas breathing volume and breathing rate of the transformer.
[0005] Specifically, the present invention is a method for monitoring the breathing resistance of a transformer respiratory system, and the method for monitoring the breathing resistance of the transformer respiratory system includes the following steps:
[0006] Step (1): Calculating the average oil temperature of the transformer;
[0007] Step (2): Calculating the breathing gas volume of the transformer;
[0008] Step (3): Calculating the breathing gas flow rate of the transformer;
[0009] Step (4): Calculating the gas flow velocity of the transformer;
[0010] Step (5): Calculating the errors of the gas flow rate and flow velocity;
[0011] Step (6): Evaluating the breathing smoothness of the respiratory system.
[0012] Further, the method for calculating the average oil temperature of the transformer in step (1) is:
[0013] Method 1: The average oil temperature T = ((T D -T0 - T C ) / 1.2) + T0, where T is the average oil temperature, T D is the top oil temperature, T C: Temperature rise correction value, T0: Ambient temperature, T C Take 5K;
[0014] Method 2: Arrange temperature sensors vertically and equidistantly on the surface of the transformer tank. Here, it is calculated with N sensors (the number of sensors should not be less than 6). The calculation method of the average temperature of the tank The top oil temperature is T1, and the temperature at the highest point of the tank is T2. Calculate the temperature loss of the tank wall ΔT = T1 - T2, and calculate the average oil temperature of the transformer
[0015] Furthermore, the calculation method of the volume of the breathing gas of the transformer in step (2) is as follows:
[0016] The total oil quantity m of the equipment is provided by the transformer manufacturer. Calculate the total volume of the transformer oil at 20°C. According to the thermal expansion coefficient of the transformer oil of 0.07%, the total volume of the transformer oil at 20°C is V = m / 0.895, and the volume change is:
[0017] ΔV = 0.0007 * ΔT1 * V
[0018] In the formula, ΔT1 is the temperature difference between time t1 and time t2, and the calculation formula is ΔT1 = T1 - T2, where T1 is the average oil temperature at time t1 and T2 is the average oil temperature at time t2. The average oil temperature is recommended to use Method 2, and when conditions do not permit, Method 1 is adopted.
[0019] Furthermore, the calculation method of the breathing gas flow rate of the transformer in step (3) is as follows:
[0020] The diameter of the breathing pipeline of the transformer is d, and the gas flow velocity at time t is v c (monitored in real time by a flow velocity meter), calculate the net gas flow between time t1 and time t2:
[0021] Furthermore, the calculation method of the gas flow velocity of the transformer in step (4) is as follows:
[0022]
[0023] Furthermore, the calculation method of the gas flow rate and flow velocity error in step (5) is as follows:
[0024] δ1 = (ΔV - ΔV1) / ΔV1
[0025] δ2 = (ν - ν c ) / ν c .
[0026] Furthermore, the evaluation method of the smooth breathing of the respiratory system in step (6) is as follows:
[0027] Evaluation method:
[0028] Unobstructed breathing: δ1 < 0.1 and δ2 < 0.1;
[0029] Obstructed breathing: δ1 > 0.5 and δ2 > 0.5;
[0030] Respiratory system blockage (obstructed breathing): Others.
[0031] Furthermore, the present invention also proposes a monitoring system for the breathing resistance of a transformer respiratory system. The monitoring system for the breathing resistance of the transformer respiratory system includes a temperature acquisition system, an oil conservator, a gas pipe, a gas flow rate sensor, and a breather.
[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects are as follows:
[0033] Currently, there is no effective means for monitoring the breathing resistance of a transformer respiratory system in the market. Some maintenance-free breathers have a function of monitoring air pressure, but no evaluation method for pressure changes is proposed, and this pressure monitoring is absolute pressure, without detecting the rate of change of air pressure, and without monitoring according to the actual situation of the change of the transformer oil level. Strictly speaking, it cannot realize the online diagnosis of the transformer respiratory system. The monitoring method and system of the present invention comprehensively consider the absolute value of air pressure and the rate of change of air pressure, and combine the actual operating conditions of the transformer, and give a specific evaluation method for the respiratory system, which can realize the online monitoring and evaluation of the state of the transformer respiratory system.

[0052] In the formula, ΔT1 is the temperature difference between the t1 moment and the t2 moment, and the calculation formula is ΔT1 = T1 - T2.
