Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high-voltage direct-current cable insulation state monitoring, and in particular to a direct-current cable dielectric loss and leakage current synchronous monitoring device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In modern high-voltage direct-current power transmission systems, the insulation performance of direct-current cables, as the core carrier of electric energy transmission, directly determines the safety and reliability of the power system. With the rapid development of new energy power generation, cross-regional power grid interconnection and other technologies, the application scenarios of high-voltage direct-current cables are increasing, the voltage level is continuously increasing, and the operating environment is also more complex. Under this background, accurate detection of leakage current has become a key means to evaluate the insulation state of the cable and predict potential faults.
[0003] The leakage current of a direct-current cable is often composed of a direct-current component and an alternating-current component. The main direct-current component is determined by the insulation conductance characteristic, which reflects the aging degree or moisture condition of the insulation medium. The alternating-current component includes power frequency harmonics, impulse overvoltage transient currents, and high-frequency pulse signals generated by partial discharge, with a frequency band distribution range from 50Hz to MHz. The detection of different components has complementary value for insulation state diagnosis. For example, an abnormal direct-current component may indicate overall insulation deterioration, while a high-frequency alternating-current component is closely related to partial discharge and other local defects.
[0004] However, the current traditional measurement method mostly uses a microammeter in series with the circuit to measure the leakage current of the direct-current cable, which not only makes it difficult to detect the high-frequency component of the leakage current, but also introduces additional grounding impedance, affecting the grounding structure of the direct-current cable. The industry urgently needs a detection method that can realize leakage current measurement, ensuring measurement accuracy while solving the problem of affecting the grounding system and being difficult to measure in full frequency band, to meet the needs of intelligent operation and maintenance of high-voltage direct-current cables. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a direct-current cable dielectric loss and leakage current synchronous monitoring device and method, which can simultaneously monitor the leakage current and dielectric loss of a direct-current cable, simplify system configuration, realize real-time online monitoring, and improve monitoring accuracy and reliability, thereby helping to better perform online monitoring and evaluation of high-voltage direct-current equipment.

[0040] The core advantage of this device lies in its ability to simultaneously and synchronously measure two key insulation state parameters of cables under the same excitation source (harmonic DC source): dielectric loss (tanδ) and insulation resistance. This avoids the inconvenience and time consumption of traditional methods that may require applying AC and DC voltages separately. By superimposing a small power frequency harmonic component onto the DC high voltage, it cleverly achieves the evaluation of the dielectric loss characteristics of insulation materials near the power frequency under near-actual DC operating conditions, solving the problem of being unable to measure phase difference under pure DC voltage. The parallel RC branch design, by selecting appropriate R and C values, can effectively separate DC leakage current, AC resistive loss current, and AC capacitive current. The capacitor branch has a certain filtering effect on high-frequency interference, improving the accuracy of AC component measurement. The resistor branch directly measures the current containing the DC component, accurately obtaining the leakage current value of the cable under high-voltage DC, which is a direct indicator for assessing overall insulation degradation.
