Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electric power technology, and in particular to a cable transformer economic operation collaborative optimization control method. Background Art
[0002] In power systems, cable transformers are key devices for energy transmission and distribution, and their operating efficiency is directly related to the energy consumption and operating costs of the entire system. Traditionally, the operation and management of cable transformers has relied heavily on regular maintenance and manual judgment, making it difficult to achieve real-time monitoring and precise control of the transformer's operating status. With the development of smart grids, although some systems have begun to use sensors to monitor transformer parameters, most of these systems remain at the data collection level and lack in-depth analysis and intelligent optimization and control strategies. Furthermore, traditional transformer economic operation strategies fail to consider the loss coupling effect of cable lines, resulting in low overall system efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, how to achieve economic operation of cable transformers while ensuring safe operation has become a key research direction in current power system optimization control. Based on this, we propose a coordinated optimization control method for economic operation of cable transformers. Summary of the Invention

[0056] S2: Establish a collaborative operation model; use big data analysis technology to build a cable transformer collaborative operation status model, so as to accurately judge the health status, energy efficiency level and potential failure risks of the cable transformer.
[0057] Furthermore, the collaborative operation model includes the following contents:
[0058] ① Operation status database;
[0059] Preferably, the database includes cable parameters, transformer nameplate data, and environmental factors;
[0060] Further preferably, the cable parameters include resistance per unit length, inductance, capacitance and allowable current carrying capacity;

[0063] ② Preset the preconditions for collaborative control based on intelligent algorithms; design a collaborative optimization control strategy for the economic operation of cable transformers, set the control preconditions for the collaborative operation of cable transformers, and automatically control the collaborative operation when a certain precondition is triggered.
[0064] Preferably, the intelligent algorithm includes artificial intelligence algorithm (such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, etc.) and improved NSGA-II multi-objective genetic algorithm, etc.;
[0065] Preferably, the coordinated control includes voltage and reactive power coordinated control, load rate balancing control and over-temperature load reduction curve, wherein the over-temperature load reduction curve is controlled such that the current limit is reduced by 5% for every 10K increase in temperature;
[0066] Furthermore, coordinated control also includes emergency response measures for cable transformers, specifically: 1) dynamic derating of cable current carrying capacity, such as an 8% current reduction for every 10°C increase in temperature; 2) automatic switching to conservative operation mode when a transformer light gas alarm sounds; and 3) activating segmented insulation monitoring and positioning when cable partial discharge exceeds 20pC. An emergency interruption strategy for cable transformers is implemented to ensure normal system operation.

[0079] B1: When the voltage exceeds the limit, the transformer OLTC tap is controlled to adjust the gear, such as downshifting to reduce copper loss and lowering I 2 R loss; when the load current is large, reducing the ratio will slightly increase the low-voltage side voltage, thereby reducing the load current and further reducing the resistance loss of the transformer and line (I 2 R), while also reducing equipment heat loss.
[0080] B2: When reactive power is insufficient, the SVG device is controlled to start outputting capacitive reactive power to reduce line reactive current, balance grid demand, and suppress temperature rise.
[0081] B3: When overtemperature occurs, control the load transfer switch to cut off non-critical loads such as non-main operating equipment, reduce unnecessary load expenditure, and provide preventive protection to avoid overload, voltage abnormality, temperature increase, etc.
[0082] B4: When the cable temperature is greater than 80℃, the load is forced to be reduced and the standby cooling pump is started.
[0083] A3: Control command feedback;
[0084] Preferably, the time limit for instruction feedback is 2-5 minutes after the control instruction is issued, and the changes in data parameters need to be repeatedly reviewed multiple times.
[0085] S4: Maintain and optimize the model by stage.
[0086] Compared with traditional methods such as the existing standard IEEEC57.91-2011, the present invention reduces the total system loss by 10%-18%, reduces the comprehensive transformer loss by 8%-12%, increases the voltage qualification rate to more than 99.8%, increases the cable current carrying capacity utilization rate by ≥15%, extends the equipment life by 20%-30%, avoids the risk of instantaneous overload, and achieves millisecond-level risk interception.
