Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of neutral point overvoltage protection for power system transformers, and in particular to the technical field of an environment-adaptive 110kV transformer neutral point intelligent protection method and system. Background Art
[0002] In 110kV neutral-point effective grounding systems, some transformers operate with their neutral points ungrounded to limit single-phase grounding short-circuit currents and meet relay protection setting configuration requirements. To protect neutral-point insulation, existing technologies typically employ a parallel grounding scheme involving a protective gap and a lightning arrester. However, this scheme has the following drawbacks: 1. The gap distance setting is not accurate: The rod gap distance is selected based on the 50% discharge voltage value. However, due to the inherent dispersion of gap discharge, false discharge (accidental breakdown under non-fault conditions) and rejected discharge (failure to break down in time under fault conditions) frequently occur in actual operation, making it difficult to accurately adapt the gap distance to protection requirements.
[0003] 2. Environmental sensitivity leads to protection failure: The rod gap uses air as the insulating medium, and its breakdown voltage is significantly affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, resulting in unstable discharge voltage. This characteristic leads to mismatched protection parameters between the gap and the arrester. For example, under power-frequency overvoltage conditions, if the gap fails to operate, the arrester will be forced to bear the entire energy, posing a risk of arrester explosion. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Working process of the present invention: The working process of an environment-adaptive 110kV transformer neutral point intelligent protection method and system of the present invention is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0019] First, an artificial climate chamber was used to simulate different atmospheric conditions, and lightning impulse and power frequency discharge tests were conducted on various gap lengths. Environmental parameters such as air pressure, temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and illumination, as well as corresponding breakdown voltage data, were collected. Then, the normal probability distribution method was used to calculate the impulse discharge voltage with a 0.1% probability of the gap under various gap lengths and corresponding environments. , 99.9% probability power frequency discharge voltage Then, using three methods—grey correlation, Pearson coefficient, and Spearman coefficient—the correlation between discharge voltage and atmospheric conditions was analyzed to identify the main influencing factors. A discharge voltage calculation model was then established based on multiple linear regression, with environmental factors as independent variables and discharge voltage as the dependent variable. The regression coefficients were calculated by fitting the data to construct the model. Finally, the discharge voltage was calculated based on real-time atmospheric data and gap distance data, and the gap distance was determined and dynamically adjusted based on the coordination principle to achieve intelligent protection. Specific embodiment: 1. Data collection: In an artificial climate chamber, various atmospheric conditions were simulated, and lightning impulse and power frequency discharge tests were conducted at different gap distances. The tests were repeated 20 times for each environment and gap distance, and the breakdown voltage and the corresponding environment were recorded for each test. Atmospheric conditions included air pressure, temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and illumination. According to DL / T 1848-2018, "Technical Specification for Neutral Point Overvoltage Protection of 220kV and 110kV Transformers," the neutral point gap distance for 110kV transformers ranges from 95mm to 150mm. Therefore, the rod gap lengths selected were 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, 130mm, 140mm, and 150mm.
[0021] 2. Calculate the length of each gap and the impulse discharge voltage with a 0.1% probability of the gap under the corresponding environment by using the normal probability distribution method , 99.9% probability power frequency discharge voltage .
[0022] S21. Fit the normal probability distribution.
[0023] First, calculate the mean and standard deviation of the recorded breakdown voltage data. Then use the probability density function formula of the normal distribution: Where, is a random variable, which refers to the gap breakdown voltage value; is the mathematical expectation (mean), is the standard deviation.
[0024] S22. Calculate the target probability discharge voltage.
[0025] According to the cumulative distribution function formula of the normal distribution, the voltage value corresponding to a specific probability is calculated in, is the error function.
[0026] For impulse discharge voltage ,Pick , and get the corresponding voltage value: For power frequency discharge voltage ,Pick , and get the corresponding voltage value: 3. Determine the main factors affecting the gap discharge voltage: The three correlation calculation methods of grey correlation, Pearson coefficient and Spearman coefficient were used to analyze the relationship between gap discharge voltage and atmospheric conditions, and the main factors that significantly affected the discharge voltage were screened out, providing a basis for subsequent modeling.
[0027] The Pearson correlation coefficient is used to detect linear correlation, and the calculation formula is as follows: Where, and are the expectations of random variables X and Y, respectively, and To distinguish their standard deviations, is their covariance.
[0028] The value of the Pearson correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to 1. Values closer to 1 or -1 indicate stronger linear correlation, and 0 indicates no correlation.
[0029] If the data does not conform to a normal distribution or has a nonlinear relationship, the Spearman rank correlation coefficient can be used. The calculation formula is as follows: Where, It represents the difference in the rank value of the i-th data pair, and n is the total number of observed samples.
[0030] The Spearman rank correlation coefficient also has a value range between -1 and 1. Its meaning is the same as the Pearson correlation coefficient, but it is applicable to data with non-normal distribution or nonlinear relationships.
[0031] When the data is incomplete or the information is incomplete, grey relational analysis can be used to evaluate the correlation between factors. The working process is as follows: 1) Determine the analysis sequence. According to the analysis objectives, determine the comprehensive load of the transmission line as the reference sequence, set as , , is the sample size. The influencing factors of tension are comparative sequences, set as , is the number of feature quantities.
[0032] Secondly, data normalization is performed. The order of magnitude and units of the reference sequence and the comparison sequence are usually different. To facilitate analysis, each sequence needs to be normalized. The formula is as follows: Where: is the original value of a certain feature; and are the maximum and minimum values of a certain characteristic quantity respectively; It is the normalized value of a certain feature.
[0033] 2) Calculate the correlation coefficient. The correlation coefficient refers to the degree of correlation between the comparison sequence and the reference sequence at each time. and In the Correlation coefficient of time for: Where: is the resolution coefficient, , usually take =0.5, is the minimum absolute difference between all compared sequences and the reference sequence, It is the maximum absolute difference between all compared sequences and the reference sequence. ,when <0.5, indicating a weak correlation; when 0.5≤ When <0.7, it indicates a strong correlation; When ≥ 0.7, it indicates a strong correlation.
[0034] 3) Determine the degree of correlation. The grey correlation refers to the overall degree of correlation between the comparison sequence and the reference sequence, that is, taking the average value of the correlation coefficient at each moment. The calculation formula is as follows: Where: is the grey correlation degree, and its value and meaning are the same as .

Use the multiple linear regression method, take the main environmental factors as independent variables and the discharge voltage as the dependent variable, and establish a calculation model. The model formula is: in, is the gap discharge voltage, , ,…, The main influencing factors are is the intercept term, which represents the expected value of the dependent variable when all independent variables are zero, and is the gap discharge voltage under standard atmospheric conditions. , ,…, is the regression coefficient, is the error term.

[0038] S44. Evaluate the gap discharge voltage calculation model.
[0039] The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and coefficient of determination (CDR) were used. ) Four evaluation indicators are used to comprehensively evaluate the gap discharge voltage calculation model. Among them, MAPE provides a percentage of the prediction error and is sensitive to outliers; RMSE takes into account the size of the prediction error, but is not as intuitive as MAPE; MAE is similar to RMSE, but does not consider the direction of the error and is less sensitive to outliers; R 2 This measures the explanatory power of the model. The closer the value is to 1, the stronger the explanatory power of the model. The formula is as follows: 5. Determine whether the gap distance needs to be adjusted: Real-time monitoring of the main atmospheric factors affecting the gap discharge voltage, and calculation of the impulse discharge voltage with a 0.1% probability of the gap through the gap discharge voltage calculation model , 99.9% probability power frequency discharge voltage .
[0040] in accordance with Less than the single-phase ground fault voltage of the ground-lost system, The principle of greater than the residual voltage of the lightning arrester is used to determine whether the current gap distance meets the requirements.
[0041] like If the voltage is greater than the single-phase grounding fault voltage of the ground-lost system, shorten the gap distance by 10 mm and return to step 4.
[0042] like If the voltage is less than the residual voltage of the arrester, increase the gap by 10 mm and return to step 4.
[0043] 6. Intelligent protection system implementation and dynamic adjustment of gap.
[0044] The intelligent protection system integrates an environmental monitoring module, a data processing module, a model calculation module, and a gap adjustment module. The system monitors environmental parameters in real time, calculates the discharge voltage, and automatically executes the aforementioned analysis and adjustment process to achieve intelligent protection for the transformer neutral point.
