Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electromagnetic measurement, and particularly to a hybrid magnetic array current sensor and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this part merely provide background technical information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] With the rapid construction and advancement of the new power system, the limitations of current sensors have become increasingly prominent. On the one hand, large-scale new energy sources such as solar and wind power generation, as well as large-capacity power electronic equipment, are continuously connected to the power grid. Solar power generation is affected by light intensity and time, and wind power generation is affected by wind force and stability. The grid connection of these distributed power sources makes the grid current exhibit complex characteristics such as large dynamic range and wide frequency band. A large amount of harmonics and high-frequency components are generated during the operation of large-capacity power electronic equipment, further exacerbating the complexity of the grid current, which undoubtedly poses more stringent requirements on the measurement performance of grid current measurement devices. On the other hand, in emerging fields such as carbon trading and electricity trade settlement, the accuracy of current measurement is directly related to the economic interests of all parties, and its importance is self-evident.

[0004] Traditional electromagnetic current transformers have been widely used in power systems in the past. They use the principle of electromagnetic induction to measure current. However, when facing the new challenges of modern power systems, their disadvantages have gradually emerged. When measuring large currents, due to the limitations of its working principle, it requires a large iron core and windings, resulting in a large volume and heavy weight. This not only increases the construction cost and space occupancy of power facilities such as substations, but also when dealing with complex fault currents, the iron core is prone to saturation, making the current transformer unable to accurately transmit current information, seriously affecting the timeliness and accuracy of the protection and control actions of the power system. In the fault detection of some high-voltage transmission lines, the saturation phenomenon of electromagnetic current transformers may lead to deviations in the measurement of short-circuit current peaks, thereby affecting the correct operation of relay protection devices and increasing the risk of power system fault outages.

[0005] The emergence of current sensors based on the Hall effect has, to a certain extent, improved some of the disadvantages of electromagnetic transformers. It uses the Hall effect of Hall elements in a magnetic field to measure current, with a relatively small volume and a relatively fast response speed. However, there are still deficiencies in terms of accuracy and stability, especially in wide-range measurements, it is difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of high precision and low error. In some application scenarios with extremely high requirements for current measurement accuracy, such as high-precision power metering and power system dynamic stability analysis, the performance of Hall current sensors is difficult to meet the needs.

[0006] In addition, with the large-scale integration of new energy power generation into the power system, the current in the power grid has become more complex and variable. Besides containing various harmonic components and rapid current fluctuations, there are also weak current signals and other situations. At the same time, the electromagnetic environment in which the power system is located has become increasingly complex. High-voltage equipment, communication lines in the substation, and surrounding industrial equipment, etc., may all become electromagnetic interference sources, which poses a higher challenge to the anti-interference ability of current sensors.

[0007] At present, with the booming development of new energy, new energy power generation such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation has been largely integrated into the power system, completely changing the traditional form of grid current. The previously relatively stable and regular current has now become extremely complex due to the intermittency and volatility of new energy power generation. The current not only contains rich harmonic components of various orders, which will have a serious impact on the normal operation of power equipment, possibly leading to overheating, increased losses, and even damage to the equipment; but also the current fluctuation speed is extremely fast, bringing great difficulties to the real-time monitoring and control of the power system. At the same time, the emergence of weak current signals has posed an unprecedented challenge to the accuracy and sensitivity of current measurement. These weak current signals often contain key power system operation state information. Once the measurement is inaccurate, it may lead to misjudgment of the system state.

[0008] Meanwhile, the electromagnetic environment of the power system has become increasingly harsh. Inside the substation, high-voltage equipment will generate strong electromagnetic radiation during operation, and its complex electromagnetic field distribution may interfere with the normal operation of current sensors; when communication lines transmit signals, they will also interact with the surrounding electromagnetic environment to generate electromagnetic interference, thereby affecting the accuracy of current measurement; surrounding industrial equipment, such as large motors, welders, etc., will emit various frequency electromagnetic interferences into the surrounding space during operation. These interference sources are intertwined to form a complex electromagnetic interference field, seriously threatening the reliable operation of current sensors.

[0009] In such a severe situation, traditional current sensors are no longer able to meet the requirements of modern power systems. When facing complex currents and strong electromagnetic interference, their measurement accuracy drops sharply, the measurement range cannot cover a wide range of current changes, and their anti-interference ability is weak. They are prone to measurement errors and even failure in a complex electromagnetic environment. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to develop new current sensing devices. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Further, the transmission unit includes an optical fiber transmission unit for transmitting current measurement data using an optical signal to achieve electrical isolation between the measurement end and the receiving end.

[0020] Further, the transmission unit also includes a microwave regulation unit. The microwave transmission line of the microwave signal of the microwave regulation unit is arranged in coordination with the optical signal transmission line; the microwave signal is generated by a microwave source and transmitted to the microwave coil or resonator near the diamond NV center through the microwave transmission line.

[0021] Further, the host computer is also connected to the signal processing unit through the transmission unit, and is used for amplifying, filtering, and linearizing the first current data and the second current data.

[0022] Further, the step of fusing the compensated first current data and second current data includes fusing the processed first current data and second current data by using a weighted average method or a Kalman filtering algorithm.

[0027] Further, the hybrid magnetic array current sensor further includes: a database configured to store data.

[0028] The second aspect of the present invention provides a construction method for a hybrid magnetic array current sensor.

[0029] A construction method for a hybrid magnetic array current sensor for constructing the hybrid magnetic array current sensor described in the first aspect, includes: Selecting TMR elements, and in combination with the magnetic field distribution characteristics of the measurement target and the spatial limitations of the system, performing simulation analysis using electromagnetic simulation software to determine the precise positions and spacings of each element, and designing the TMR array unit; Encapsulating a diamond NV color center probe, equipping it with a matching laser source and microwave source, constructing an optical signal collection and conversion system to connect to the signal processing unit, and sealing the diamond NV color center probe, equipping it with a laser source, and adjusting the frequency and power of the microwave source according to the magnetic resonance characteristics of the diamond NV color center; using a photodetector to convert the optical signal into an electrical signal, and connecting the converted electrical signal to the signal processing unit; Selecting an optical fiber according to the requirements of signal transmission distance, rate, and bandwidth; designing an adapter interface to ensure the physical connection and electrical matching between the interface, the signal source, and the optical fiber, and converting the electrical signal into an optical signal to access the optical fiber; Selecting an amplifier to amplify and filter the resistance change signal of the TMR array unit, selecting a filter and an analog-to-digital converter, amplifying the filtered data, and transmitting it to the data fusion unit via the analog-to-digital converter to obtain a current measurement result through fusion.

[0030] Furthermore, the hybrid magnetic array current sensor is encapsulated with a sealed housing and sealant.

[0031] In terms of insulation design, a metal shielding layer (such as an aluminum foil shielding layer) is provided between the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side and is well grounded, effectively limiting the electric field range, blocking the interference of the high-voltage side electric field on the low-voltage side, and preventing measurement errors or device failures caused by electric field interference. The optical fiber transmission unit in the transmission unit uses optical signals to transmit current measurement data, achieving electrical isolation between the measurement end and the receiving end.

The algorithm of the data fusion unit can dynamically adjust the fusion weight of the TMR array unit data and the quantum sensing data according to the current magnitude. When measuring small currents, it gives full play to the high-precision advantage of the quantum current sensing unit, and when measuring large currents, it relies on the wide range and stability characteristics of the TMR array unit, thus achieving high-precision measurement of the device within a wide range. It can not only meet the precise measurement of tiny currents, such as current monitoring in microelectronic circuits, but also cope with the measurement requirements of large currents, such as current detection in power transmission systems.

[0033] By storing, analyzing, and processing the measurement data through the database and the upper computer, it provides a basis for optimizing the performance of the device, successfully expands the wide-load characteristics, enables it to maintain good measurement performance under different load conditions, and effectively solves the problem that it is difficult to balance the range coverage and measurement accuracy of traditional current sensors.

Quantum sensors are at the technological peak of precision and stability. Their ultra-high precision can achieve extremely accurate measurement of current, and the stability ensures the reliability of measurement results under different environmental conditions. The present invention combines the TMR array with the quantum current sensing unit, and the two complement each other's advantages. The TMR array is responsible for the preliminary detection and rough adjustment of wide-range currents, while the quantum current sensing unit focuses on high-precision measurement, ensuring that current information can be accurately obtained even in complex current and strong electromagnetic interference environments.

In the field of power equipment protection, it can detect current abnormalities in a timely and accurate manner, provide reliable data support for relay protection devices, quickly cut off the faulty line, prevent the expansion of faults, and ensure the safe operation of power equipment. In the long run, the application of the hybrid magnetic array current sensor will also promote the development of smart grids, lay a solid foundation for realizing the intelligent and automated control of the power system, and help the energy industry transform towards the direction of green, low-carbon, and high-efficiency.

[0057] The present invention aims to overcome the many limitations of traditional current sensors in the application of modern power systems. In the face of the complex characteristics of grid currents such as large dynamic range and wide frequency band brought about by the large-scale access of new energy and the widespread application of high-capacity power electronic equipment in a new power system, whether it is the easy saturation, large volume, and heavy weight of electromagnetic transformers or the deficiencies of Hall effect sensors in terms of accuracy, stability, and anti-interference ability, traditional current sensors are difficult to meet the growing demand for high-precision current measurement.

[0058] The following is a detailed description of this embodiment: The present invention discloses a hybrid magnetic array current sensor, which includes a TMR array unit, a quantum current sensing unit, a data acquisition unit, a transmission unit, a signal processing unit, a data fusion unit, a central control unit, a power supply, a management unit, and a host computer. The signal processing unit, the data fusion unit, and the central control unit are connected to the host computer through the transmission unit, and the host computer is connected to a database.

[0059] In one or more embodiments, the TMR array unit, as Figure 3 shown, based on the tunneling magnetoresistance effect, can sensitively sense the magnetic field changes generated by the current. When an electric current passes through a wire, the magnetic field strength around it is proportional to the magnitude of the current. The resistance of the TMR element will change significantly with the change of the magnetic field. By measuring this resistance change, the current value can be detected with high precision, and even small current changes can be accurately captured. It is applicable to scenarios with high requirements for current accuracy, such as current monitoring of precision instrument equipment and current control of low-power circuits. The structure of the TMR array unit includes a circular array, a rectangular array, a linear array, and other special arrays, etc. This sensor adopts an online calibration method, based on the magnetic field results measured by all magnetic field sensing units, and combines the solution calculation of the magnetic field-current inversion model to accurately locate the position of the current-carrying conductor to be measured, and thus calculates the correlation coefficient between the current to be measured and the magnetic fields measured by each magnetic field sensing unit.

[0060] Specifically, the online calibration implementation process of the TMR array unit structure includes the following steps: (1) Layout of magnetic field sensing units and data acquisition Suppose there are N sensing units in the TMR array unit structure, and the spatial coordinates of the i-th unit are (x i , y i , z i ). When the current-carrying conductor to be measured passes through, each magnetic field sensing unit synchronously acquires the magnetic field strength B i , forming an original data set {B1, B2,..., B N}; (2) Magnetic field-current inversion modeling Establish a physical model of the position (x c , y c , z c ) of the current-carrying conductor and the magnetic field distribution. According to the Biot-Savart law, the magnetic field generated by a single infinitely long straight wire is:

[0061] Among them, , represents the vacuum magnetic permeability, represents the current to be measured, represents the perpendicular distance from the magnetic field sensing unit to the conductor.

[0062] (3)Position parameter solution Construct a non - linear equation system:

[0063] Use the Levenberg - Marquardt algorithm for iterative solution, and the objective function is:

[0064] This optimization process can simultaneously obtain the conductor position ( , ) and the estimated current value .

[0065] (4)Correlation coefficient calculation Calculate the correlation coefficient of each magnetic field sensing unit according to the positioning result :

[0066] This coefficient characterizes the conversion relationship between the measured value of the sensing unit and the true current. In the ideal state . In the actual system, the measurement consistency is evaluated by statistically analyzing the variance of each unit .‌

[0067] (5)Dynamic calibration update Establish a sliding time window mechanism and periodically execute the above - mentioned solution process during continuous measurement. When interference factors cause changes in the array characteristics, self - calibration is achieved by updating the correlation coefficient matrix .‌

[0068] In one or more embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the hybrid magnetic array current sensor includes an opening - closing structure 1, a shielding structure 2, a TMR chip 3, a current - carrying conductor 4, a microwave antenna 5, a diamond NV - center 6, a photodetector 7, and an inner diameter 8, wherein, the opening - closing structure 1 is used to dynamically adjust the aperture of the TMR array unit to adapt to different - sized measured objects.

[0069] In this embodiment, the opening - closing structure 1 adopts a hinge - type mechanical structure, which is driven by a built - in stepper motor, and the opening - closing accuracy reaches ±0.1 mm. When closed, it forms a closed magnetic circuit to reduce magnetic leakage; when opened, it allows a current - carrying conductor with a maximum diameter of 20 mm to pass through. Moreover, the outer layer of the opening - closing structure 1 is made of 316L stainless steel (anti - magnetic interference), and the inner lining is a silica gel buffer layer (to prevent mechanical wear).

[0070] The shielding structure 2 is used to suppress external magnetic field interference and improve the signal - to - noise ratio.

[0071] In this embodiment, the outer layer of the shielding structure 2 can be made of permalloy (μ = 100000), the middle layer can be made of soft ferrite, and the inner layer can be made of high-permeability nanocrystalline ribbon. The shielding structure 2 integrates a three-dimensional Helmholtz coil to cancel the residual magnetic field in real time (compensation accuracy ±5 nT).

[0072] The TMR chip 3 uses a MgO tunnel junction (thickness 1.2 nm) + CoFeB free layer (10 nm) + IrMn pinned layer.

[0073] The current-carrying conductor 4 serves as the measured current path or the reference magnetic field source. It uses a U-shaped copper conductor and passes a standard current (such as 1A RMS) to correct the TMR sensitivity drift in real time.

[0074] The microwave antenna 5 is used to manipulate the quantum.

[0075] The diamond NV color center 6 uses CVD synthetic diamond.

[0076] The photodetector 7 includes an avalanche photodiode (APD) and a lock-in amplifier circuit. The lock-in amplifier circuit is used to synchronously detect the fluorescence signal (the time constant is adjustable from 1 ms to 10 s), and the dynamic range is 120 dB. The photodetector 7 adopts a double-layer shielding (electromagnetic + optical shielding) design to eliminate ambient light and RF crosstalk.

[0077] Among them, the microwave antenna 5, the diamond NV color center 6, and the photodetector 7 are attached to the PCB board and output signals to the single-chip microcomputer together with the TMR chip 3.

[0078] In one or more embodiments, for the quantum sensor unit, special treatment is performed at the output end of the optical fiber. The cladding and core of the optical fiber output end are integrally processed into a frustum shape, then photosensitive glue is coated on its end face, and then the optical fiber output end is connected to the base of the diamond probe. Through precise adjustment with a multi-axis displacement stage, the center of the end face of the optical fiber output end is coaxially aligned with the NV color center of the diamond probe. Finally, the photosensitive glue is irradiated with a specific wavelength of excitation light to cure it, thus realizing a firm connection between the optical fiber and the diamond probe. A fiber optic adapter is used to introduce the laser emitted by the laser source into the optical fiber through the fiber optic adapter, and then the optical fiber transmits the laser to the diamond probe to excite the NV color center to generate a fluorescence signal. A microwave coil is wound around the diamond probe, and the microwave signal generated by the microwave source acts on the microwave coil after passing through the microwave switch and the microwave signal amplifier, thereby regulating the spin state of the diamond NV color center. The connection line between the microwave coil and the microwave source can be laid in parallel with the optical fiber and integrated into a system together.

[0079] In one or more embodiments, the data acquisition unit includes a temperature sensor and a voltage sensor.

[0080] Among them, the temperature sensor, voltage sensor and TMR array unit are reasonably and adaptively installed.

Design the array structure and determine the elements. After selecting the elements, design the TMR array structure. Combining the magnetic field distribution characteristics of the measurement target and the space limitations of the system, use electromagnetic simulation software for simulation analysis to determine the precise positions and spacings of each element. The reasonable setting of the positions and spacings can optimize the magnetic field detection effect and reduce the mutual interference between elements. Finally, when laying the signal lead-out lines, select wires with low resistance and high insulation, and connect them according to reasonable wiring rules to ensure efficient and stable signal transmission to the signal processing unit.

Equip it with a matching laser source and microwave source, and construct an optical signal collection and conversion system to connect to the signal processing unit. When packaging, first remove the impurities and contaminants on the surface of the probe. Then, use a packaging material with electromagnetic shielding and moisture-proof functions to seal the probe, minimizing the influence of external electromagnetic interference and humidity changes on the probe. The wavelength, power, and stability of the equipped laser source should be precisely matched with the excitation characteristics of the diamond NV color center. The frequency and power of the microwave source should also be accurately adjusted according to the magnetic resonance characteristics of the NV color center to ensure precise control of the NV color center. Construct an optical signal collection and conversion system, use a photodetector to convert the optical signal into an electrical signal, and connect the converted electrical signal to the signal processing unit to provide reliable data for subsequent processing.

[0108] Step 5: The magnitude, direction, change frequency, and harmonic components of the current, etc., will all affect the accuracy of the measurement results. Develop a data fusion algorithm to establish a quantitative relationship between the current characteristics and data weights. Select a processing platform for data fusion and consider requirements such as data volume, processing speed, and computational complexity. To ensure the accuracy of data transmission and processing, a verification and error correction mechanism needs to be set up. Methods such as parity check and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) are used to verify the transmitted data, and errors in the data transmission process are detected and corrected in a timely manner.

When constructing the hardware platform, reasonably design the layout and wiring of the circuit board to ensure stable electrical connection and reliable signal transmission between each component. The software should have functions such as data acquisition, analysis and processing, status judgment, and instruction generation. By deeply analyzing the collected data and combining the preset current status judgment rules, accurately judge the status of the current, such as normal, overload, short circuit, etc., and generate corresponding control instructions according to the judgment results.
