[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0039] The terms used in the present invention are those commonly used in the art in view of the functions of the present invention, but these terms may vary according to the intentions of those skilled in the art, precedents, or new technologies in the art. In addition, specific terms may be selected by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of the present invention. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but rather as the meanings of the terms and the overall description of the present invention.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a device for controlling the operating environment of reactive equipment in a smart substation, comprising:

[0041] simulation device 100; and,

[0042] The collecting assembly 200 disposed on the top of the simulation device 100 includes a connecting tube 201 and a fixing tube 202 disposed on the top of the connecting tube 201;

[0043] When air flows through the fixed pipe 202 , the simulation device 100 collects air flow data, establishes an indoor air flow model, and optimizes the best heat dissipation and dehumidification path.

[0044] The simulation device 100 includes a housing 101 and a connecting plate 102 mounted on top of the housing 101 and connected to a connecting tube 201. A heat dissipation hole 103 is provided on one side of the housing 101. The connecting tube 201 and the fixing tube 202 are perpendicular to each other. The housing 101 is made of 304 stainless steel and is installed in the switch room. It integrates a temperature and humidity sensor (accuracy of ±0.5°C, ±3% RH), a wind speed sensor (range of 0-10m / s, sampling frequency of 1Hz), and a data processing module (STM32H743 microprocessor, computing speed of 2800DMIPS).

[0045] The bottom of the connecting pipe 201 is connected to the top of the connecting plate 102, and the fixed pipe 202 is installed with a funnel pipe 203, wherein the connecting pipe 201 and the fixed pipe 202 are both made of UPVC material, and the bottom is sealed and connected to the connecting plate (102) through a flange, and a flange gasket is provided in the flange, which is made of oil-resistant rubber to prevent air leakage;

[0046] The fixed pipe 202 is welded vertically to the connecting pipe to ensure that air flows in both horizontal and vertical directions. At the same time, the funnel pipe 203 installed on the top of the fixed pipe 202 can expand the air inlet area. The inner wall of the funnel is covered with sound-absorbing cotton to reduce the interference of airflow noise on the sensor.

[0047] It should be noted that when the airflow flows in the shell 101, it drives the sensors integrated in the shell, such as wind speed, temperature and humidity sensors, to capture physical parameters. These parameters are stably transmitted to the data processing module through the mechanical fixing structure inside the shell, such as the sensor bracket, to provide original data support for the subsequent establishment of the air flow model.

[0048] In summary, by combining the airflow turbulence characteristics collected by the fixed tube 202 and the connecting tube 201 and the internal and external air pressure data after balancing the heat dissipation holes 103 of the shell 101, the model can accurately output the dynamic correlation between "equipment heat dissipation and air flow" and provide the data to the air conditioning system, providing a core basis for the air duct layout and air outlet angle adjustment of the air conditioning system.

[0049] As an optional embodiment, another shape of the funnel tube 203 is provided.

[0050] The bottom of the connecting tube 201 is connected to the top of the connecting plate 102, and the fixed tube 202 is installed with a funnel tube 203, wherein the shape of the funnel tube 203 can be changed into a Venturi tube, and its structure is gradually shortened. The Venturi effect can be used to make the air flow velocity at the throat suddenly increase to form a local low-pressure area, thereby increasing the air collection volume.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 This embodiment provides a smart substation reactive power equipment operating environment control system, including:

[0052] Establish and modify an air flow model. By collecting physical parameters of the device's surrounding environment, a realistic airflow model is constructed to ensure that the model truly reflects the interaction between device heat dissipation and ambient airflow.

[0053] Dynamically adjust the air outlet angle and air volume of the air conditioner based on the corrected model output. Based on the corrected model output, the air outlet angle, air volume and other parameters of the air conditioner are optimized in real time, so that the cooling air / dehumidification airflow acts precisely on the equipment, improving control efficiency.

[0054] Generate temperature and humidity field change curves and trigger threshold alarms. By monitoring temperature and humidity change trends, early warnings of risks such as overheating and condensation are provided, and equipment maintenance prompts are issued to ensure long-term stable operation of the system.

[0055] Modified air flow models include:

[0056] The model parameters are dynamically corrected by combining the three-dimensional matrix node data and the surface thermal radiation intensity of the equipment, so as to obtain the real-time air flow distribution. Among them, the three-dimensional matrix node data refers to the three-dimensional grid nodes divided with the reactive power equipment as the center in the substation switch room. Each node collects data such as temperature, humidity, and air flow velocity in real time through the deployment of temperature and humidity sensors (accuracy ±1°C, ±5%RH) and wind speed sensors (range 0-10m / s), forming an environmental parameter matrix in three-dimensional space.

[0057] It should be noted that the surface thermal radiation intensity of the equipment is collected by an infrared thermal imager (sampling frequency 1Hz, resolution 640×512) on the surface of the reactive power equipment, such as the thermal radiation energy (unit: W / m 2 ) of the capacitor housing and the reactor coil, reflecting the self-heating intensity of the equipment.

[0058] Dynamic correction process: The initial model is constructed based on the basic data of the three-dimensional matrix. However, the heat generation of the equipment will change the surrounding air flow characteristics. For example, the rising hot air flow drives the surrounding air to flow. Therefore, the thermal radiation intensity needs to be converted into "heat source parameters", such as heat source temperature and heat dissipation power, and substituted into the model to correct the calculation parameters of the air flow velocity field and temperature field. Finally, the real-time air flow distribution is output, that is, the air flow direction, velocity, temperature, and humidity at each point, ensuring that the deviation between the model and the actual environment is ≤5%.

[0059] The steps for dynamically adjusting the air outlet angle and air volume of the air conditioner include,

[0060] Calculate the ratio K of the temperature difference on the equipment surface to the ambient temperature difference. The formula is:

[0061]

[0062] Among them, T s is the surface temperature of the equipment, and T e is the ambient temperature.

[0063] It should be noted that K reflects the matching degree between the heat dissipation demand of the equipment and the refrigeration / heating capacity of the air conditioner. For example: if the surface temperature of the equipment is 45°C and the ambient temperature is 30°C, after calculation K = 1.5, which means that the heat dissipation demand of the equipment is higher than the current output capacity of the air conditioner, and it is necessary to increase the air volume or adjust the angle to enhance heat dissipation.

[0064] The mapping relationship between the built-in K value of the system and the air valve angle is:

[0065]

[0066] Among them, when K ≤ 0.8, the air valve angle is set to 30°; when 0.8 < K ≤ 1.5, the angle is set to 60°; when K > 1.5, the angle is set to 90°. There is a servo motor installed in the housing 101, which can adjust the angle of the air valve to achieve an adjustment accuracy of ±1°.

[0067] The steps of dynamically adjusting the air outlet angle and air volume of the air conditioner also include:

[0068] Avoid frequent compressor starts and stops by setting the compressor start-stop interval to ≥3 minutes. The internal fan should be activated to remove excess heat when the evaporator temperature is ≥35°C, and the damper angle should be changed at a rate of ≤5° / s to prevent sudden airflow changes. The compressor must overcome the resistance of the refrigerant circulation when starting, and the instantaneous current is 3-5 times the rated current. Frequent starts and stops can cause overheating of the motor windings, accelerated wear of mechanical components (such as valves), and reduced service life. Setting a 3-minute interval can restore refrigerant system pressure to equilibrium and reduce startup shock. Alternatively, the interval can be extended.

[0069] It should also be noted that after the air conditioner is shut down, residual heat may remain on the surface of the evaporator, especially in heating mode. If it is not discharged in time, the surface temperature of the evaporator will be too high, accelerating the aging of components. At this time, start the internal fan (speed 800r / min) for 3 minutes to discharge the residual heat through the air duct, so that the evaporator temperature drops below 30°C.

[0070] It should also be noted that if the air valve angle changes rapidly, such as 10° / s, the airflow at the air outlet will suddenly increase or turn, causing turbulence in the airflow around the equipment, which will affect the heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, rapid rotation will cause excessive force on the servo gear set and increase mechanical losses. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the rate to ensure a smooth transition of the airflow and improve the stability of the control.

[0071] The steps to trigger a threshold alarm include:

[0072] If the local temperature is ≥40°C, the overheating risk area is marked. The system monitors key points on the equipment surface, such as the temperature of capacitor terminals and reactor windings, in real time. When the local temperature is ≥40°C, the area is marked as an "overheating risk area" and highlighted in red on the monitoring interface, triggering an audible and visual alarm.

[0073] When the humidity gradient When the local temperature difference is ≥8℃, the condensation warning is triggered. If the local temperature difference is ≥8°C, the system determines that there is a risk of condensation, immediately activates the dehumidification mode, and sends an early warning message;

[0074] When the compressor runs continuously for ≥8 hours, a maintenance reminder signal will be issued. When the compressor runs continuously for ≥8 hours, the system determines that the condenser may be dusty or the refrigerant pressure may be abnormal, and automatically generates a maintenance reminder to avoid failures caused by long-term high-load operation.

[0075] The calculation formula is:

[0076]

[0077] Among them, H1 and H2 are the humidity values ​​of two points in space, and x1 and x2 are the straight-line distances between the two points.

[0078] It should be noted that, assuming that in the substation switch room, the humidity at the position close to the capacitor (point 1) is H1 = 60% RH, and the humidity at the position 1 meter away from the capacitor (point 2) is H2 = 70% RH, the straight-line distance between the two points is x2-x1 = 1 meter, substituting into the formula yields This indicates that the humidity increases by 10% RH per meter, which means that the humidity near the capacitor changes relatively quickly, and there may be a risk of condensation on the surface of the equipment. Based on this value, the system can determine whether to start dehumidification, adjust the air conditioning air volume, and other actions to ensure that the reactive equipment operates in an environment with appropriate humidity.

[0079] In summary, a three-dimensional matrix monitoring network centered on reactive equipment is first constructed in a closed switch room. Sensors and infrared thermal imagers are used to collect node environmental parameters and equipment thermal radiation intensity. Then, a dynamic collaborative correction model is established. By using deviation convergence, the node measured and predicted deviations are iteratively optimized until they converge to ≤3%. The heat source is weighted, and the thermal radiation intensity is converted into an equivalent parameter and incorporated into the model correction model. The model accuracy is then verified by comparing the measured values, and the sudden change response of heat dissipation is verified in combination with the equipment operating conditions. This allows the model to accurately reflect dynamic correlations, providing a reliable basis for fine-grained control of the equipment environment and improving equipment life and safety.

[0080] Finally, it should be pointed out that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways without departing from the scope of the present invention.
