Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of substation fan control, and in particular relates to a temperature-time controlled fan active control system for a reactive equipment room of a substation. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the market primarily uses two control strategies for substation reactive room fan control systems: temperature control and time control. Temperature control uses temperature as a criterion, starting or stopping the fan when the temperature reaches a certain level; time control uses time as a criterion, controlling the fan contactor when the timer expires. If the reactive room temperature under these control strategies is suboptimal, the fan will often experience issues such as sweeping and overheating.

[0003] Both of the above control strategies have their shortcomings: the temperature control strategy uses temperature as the only criterion, which may cause one set of fans to be constantly on while the other set starts occasionally. This method will reduce the service life of the main fan; although the time control strategy can rotate regularly, it relies on manual operation by personnel, which may cause the machine to start even when the indoor temperature and humidity are normal. In addition, only one set of fans can be turned on at a time, and the adjustment capacity is limited. In addition, the two control systems are passive adjustments, and the control action is only controlled when the temperature or time reaches the limit. Both have hysteresis. The schematic diagram and control strategy of the existing control system are shown in the figure below. Figure 1 、 2 shown. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a temperature-controlled fan active control system for the reactive equipment room of a substation, which can effectively control the fan through the fan control environment system, reduce human intervention, and increase the intelligence of the controller.

[0005] The present invention solves the technical problem by the following technical solutions: A temperature-time controlled fan active control system for a reactive equipment room in a transformer substation comprises a temperature sensor, an air intake volume sensor, a timer, an air intake volume alarm, a remote interactor, a central controller and a number of fans. The central controller comprises a temperature-time controlled controller, an online controller, an air intake volume monitoring controller and a power supply. The temperature sensor is responsible for detecting the temperature, the timer is responsible for countdown, the air intake volume sensor is responsible for detecting the air intake volume, the remote interactor is responsible for accessing the remote manual remote control and the automatic opening / closing function with AVC and can return the current status of the temperature and air intake volume. The central controller is responsible for receiving signals from each sensor and performing calculations to make decisions. The air intake volume alarm is responsible for receiving signals from the central controller and providing an alarm function when an alarm is required.

[0006] Moreover, the temperature time control controller controls the single-interval dual fans. After power-on, the timer starts counting down and reads the temperature sensor data. If the countdown is reached, the average fan operation time of fan 1 and fan 2 is swapped to extend the life of the fan; if the fan 1 start-up temperature is reached, fan 1 is turned on; if not, the temperature is continuously monitored; after turning on fan 1, it is continuously determined whether the fan 1 shutdown temperature is reached. If so, it is turned off. If above the temperature, it is determined whether it is greater than the fan 2 start-up temperature. If so, fan 2 is turned on. If not, it is determined whether the fan 2 shutdown temperature is reached. If so, fan 2 is turned off. If not, the current temperature is continuously monitored.

[0007] Moreover, the air intake volume monitoring controller reads the air intake volume sensor data after power-on to determine whether the air intake volume is below the limit. If so, it is considered that the ventilation network is blocked, and the air intake volume alarm is activated and the remote interactive device is connected to remotely alarm. After receiving the alarm, the personnel will clean the ventilation network in time.

[0008] Moreover, the online controller collects data from various local sensors and the switching status of several fans, and outputs the data that needs to be uploaded to the remote interactive device to realize the uploading function; at the same time, it reads the control instructions of the remote interactive device to directly control the opening and closing of the fan; the remote interactive device plays a function like Internet access and transmission of the Internet of Things, and is the data entrance and exit provided by the system to the external control. According to the entrance and exit, it can be manually remotely controlled, and can also follow the AVC automatic control, that is, when the switch is closed, the fan in the corresponding area of ​​the interval is automatically turned on, and the temperature can be actively controlled before the temperature of the reactive room rises, thereby reducing the high temperature time of the reactive room.

[0009] The positive effects that the present invention can produce are: 1. This invention is used for multi-bay and multi-fan control scenarios in substation reactive rooms. It adopts local and online dual control modes and can be remotely controlled manually. It can be remotely connected to the substation AVC system and automatically start the corresponding fan following the closing of the switch, achieving active control effect. 2. Local control adopts a dual control strategy of temperature and time, which controls the temperature from two dimensions, can effectively enhance the control effect, while reducing the fan start-up time and extending the fan life; at the same time, it is equipped with an air intake sensor, and a matching air intake monitoring controller and air intake alarm, which can monitor the fan air intake and alarm when the air intake is insufficient, so that personnel can promptly detect and deal with the dirt on the fan filter.

[0010] 3. The integrated control system can effectively control the temperature of the reactive power room of the substation, further reduce operation and maintenance costs, improve the level of automated control of the power grid, and provide important support for the realization of a strong smart grid.

[0014] The temperature time control controller controls the single-interval dual fans. After power-on, the timer starts counting down and reads the temperature sensor data. If the countdown is reached, the average fan operation time of fan 1 and fan 2 is swapped to extend the life of the fan; if the fan 1 start-up temperature is reached, fan 1 is turned on; if not, the temperature is continuously monitored; after turning on fan 1, it is continuously determined whether the fan 1 shutdown temperature is reached. If so, it is turned off. If above the temperature, it is determined whether it is greater than the fan 2 start-up temperature. If so, fan 2 is turned on. If not, it is determined whether the fan 2 shutdown temperature is reached. If so, fan 2 is turned off. If not, the current temperature is continuously monitored.

If so, it is considered that the ventilation network is blocked, and the air intake volume alarm is activated and the remote interactive device is connected to remotely alarm. After receiving the alarm, the personnel clean the ventilation network in time.

[0016] The online controller collects data from various local sensors and the switching status of several fans, and outputs the data that needs to be uploaded to the remote interactive device to realize the uploading function; at the same time, it reads the control instructions of the remote interactive device to directly control the opening and closing of the fan; the remote interactive device plays the role of Internet access and transmission of the Internet of Things. It is the data entrance and exit provided by the system to the external control. According to the entrance and exit, it can be manually remotely controlled or automatically controlled according to AVC. That is, when the switch is closed, the fan in the corresponding area of ​​the interval is automatically turned on. The temperature can be actively controlled before the temperature of the reactive room rises, reducing the high temperature time of the reactive room.

[0017] The present invention is used for multi-bay and multi-fan control scenarios in substation reactive rooms. It adopts local and online dual control modes and can be remotely controlled manually. It can be remotely connected to the substation AVC system and automatically start the corresponding fan following the closing of the switch, achieving active control effect. The local control adopts a dual control strategy of temperature and time, which manages the temperature from two dimensions, which can effectively enhance the control effect, while reducing the fan startup time and extending the fan life; at the same time, it is equipped with an air intake sensor, and a matching air intake monitoring controller and air intake alarm, which can monitor the fan air intake and alarm when the air intake is insufficient, so that personnel can promptly discover and deal with the dirt on the fan filter.

[0018] This integrated control system can effectively control the temperature of the reactive power room of the substation, further reduce operation and maintenance costs, improve the level of automated control of the power grid, and provide important support for the realization of a strong smart grid.
