Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of power equipment fault detection and relates to a partial discharge detection method based on phase and frequency synchronization. Background Art

[0002] Partial discharge (PD) in power equipment is a key factor contributing to insulation material aging and equipment failure. Therefore, accurately detecting and locating PD sources is crucial for equipment condition monitoring and maintenance. Currently, acoustic imaging technology has been widely used to locate PD sources, capable of capturing acoustic signals in equipment in real time and visualizing the spatial distribution of PD sources. However, existing acoustic imaging and PRPD (Phase-Resolved Partial Discharge) spectrum analysis techniques do not consider the phase and frequency synchronization between acoustic signals and applied voltage signals, making data fusion difficult. Furthermore, PRPD spectrum mapping, which maps the amplitude of the PD signal to the phase information of the applied voltage, lacks a synchronization mechanism, making it difficult to provide sufficiently accurate information when combining electrical and acoustic signals.

[0003] In summary, there is a problem of lack of synchronization mechanism between phase and frequency between existing acoustic imaging technology and PRPD spectrum analysis technology, which leads to low accuracy and reliability of partial discharge detection. Summary of the Invention

If the extracted spectral feature information matches multiple defect types in the defect database, perform a comprehensive judgment based on the discharge source location and sound intensity information, select the most similar defect type, and finally record the detection results.

[0018] Before performing partial discharge detection, the present invention first starts the acoustic imaging instrument, performs a self-test on the equipment to ensure that the acoustic imaging equipment is operating normally, and performs a functional test on the microphone array and signal processing module to ensure that they can accurately capture the acoustic signals of the transformer during operation. During the operation of the transformer, the present invention uses a microphone array arranged outside the transformer to obtain acoustic signals; the microphone array is reasonably arranged according to the structural characteristics of the transformer and the location of the discharge source to ensure that it can cover the location where partial discharge may occur; the microphone array receives the acoustic signals generated by the partial discharge source and uses a signal processing algorithm to accurately locate the locations of several partial discharge sources; for each discharge source, its spatial position, signal strength, frequency, phase and other information are recorded. The external voltage waveform of the transformer is collected by a high-precision voltage sensor, and then the phase information and frequency information in the voltage waveform are extracted by a signal processing method, and the frequency of the collected voltage signal is adjusted to make it consistent with the reference frequency in the acoustic image spectrum. Then, a delay operation is performed to ensure that the timing of the two is consistent, and the phase synchronization of the electrical signal and the acoustic signal is ensured.

[0019] The present invention integrates the adjusted applied voltage waveform with collected acoustic signature information. First, the acoustic signal delay and applied voltage delay information are collected. By adjusting the delays, the acoustic and electrical signals are aligned, maintaining synchronization within the same phase cycle and avoiding errors caused by phase asynchrony. The integrated signal spectrum is then optimized to ensure that the resulting spectrum accurately reflects the discharge intensity, phase variations, and frequency characteristics of different discharge sources.

[0020] The present invention selects the zero-crossing point of each discharge source from the integrated signal spectrum as the initial phase point. Starting from the initial phase point, m complete power frequency cycle data are intercepted; the data within each cycle represents the change in the acoustic field intensity generated by the local discharge source under different voltage phases. Using the intercepted power frequency cycle data, n groups of PRPD spectra are generated, with each group of PRPD spectra corresponding to a discharge source. The horizontal axis of the PRPD spectra represents the voltage phase, and the vertical axis represents the local discharge acoustic field intensity. The PRPD spectra display the intensity distribution of local discharges under different phases, which can reflect the discharge activity of the discharge source in the electrical signal cycle. In the present invention, the data information contained in the n groups of PRPD spectra is compared with a pre-built defect database. The database contains a variety of typical insulation defect types, such as corona discharge, suspended discharge, and insulation-related discharge, and provides corresponding PRPD spectrum features for each defect. By comparing the peak value, frequency component, waveform morphology and other characteristics of the sound intensity of the PRPD spectra, the system can automatically identify the specific discharge type present in the transformer and record information such as the type, discharge source location, intensity and phase of each local discharge into the system.
