Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Insulation failure is the main cause of transformer failure, and large power transformers are mostly oil-immersed transformers using oil-paper insulation. Internal insulation defects such as bubbles, cracks, and electrode burrs will cause distortion of the electric field intensity in some areas, leading to partial breakdown of the insulation and generating partial discharge. The partial discharge occurring in the oil-paper insulation system of the transformer will generally excite ultrasonic signals. Optical fiber ultrasonic sensors have the advantages of being immune to electromagnetic interference, not easily damaged by strong electromagnetic processes, and can be built into electrical equipment, and are widely used in partial discharge detection of oil-paper insulation transformers.
[0003] For the currently more common diaphragm, piezoelectric or indirectly coupled fiber Fabry-Perot sensors, the detection principle is that the deformable mechanical structure in the sensor is displaced by the partial discharge ultrasonic wave, thereby changing the geometric length of the resonator. These three kinds of Fabry-Perot fiber sensors only show high sensitivity to the detection of ultrasonic signals within the set resonant frequency band, but their resonant frequency interval is relatively narrow, usually around 30 kHz, which is difficult to cover partial discharge signals of multiple different frequencies.

[0032] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a transformer partial discharge detection system is provided, which is installed on the transformer; the system includes: an optical fiber circulator 101, a laser 102, an acousto-optic direct coupling sensor 103 and an interferometric laser processor 104;

[0034] An optional single-film fiber circulator with a central wavelength of 1550 nm is used to connect the laser, acousto-optic direct coupling sensor, and an interferometric laser processor, forming a transmission loop for the laser beam. The laser has a central wavelength of 1550 nm, an operating linewidth of less than 200 kHz, and a rated output power of 20 dBm, generating narrowband laser light with tunable output wavelength.
[0035] The acousto-optic direct coupling type sensor comprises a fiber ferrule, a high reflection film and a quartz sleeve; the quartz sleeve is a hollow structure with both ends closed; the high reflection film is a disc with the same diameter as the quartz sleeve and is fixed at one end of the quartz sleeve; the fiber ferrule is inserted into the quartz sleeve through a preset hole at the other end of the quartz sleeve relative to the end where the high reflection film is located, and the fiber ferrule and the high reflection film are kept at a preset distance; the fiber ferrule is used to input the narrowband laser into the quartz sleeve, and the interference laser formed by the interference of the medium in the quartz sleeve is reflected to the fiber ferrule by the high reflection film, and the fiber ferrule transmits the interference laser to the interference laser processor through the fiber circulator; when the transformer generates partial discharge, the density of the medium in the quartz sleeve is affected.
[0036] Wherein, when the narrowband laser beam passes through the acousto-optic direct coupling type sensor, the laser generates interference in the Fabry-Perot cavity and is reflected back to the fiber, and the partial discharge ultrasonic signal changes the density of the medium in the Fabry-Perot cavity, thereby affecting the refractive index, so as to change the phase and light intensity of the reflected interference light.
[0037] Exemplary, Figure 2 The structure diagram of the acousto-optic direct coupling type sensor comprises a fiber ferrule 201, a high reflection film 202 and a quartz sleeve 203; the quartz sleeve is a hollow structure with both ends closed; the high reflection film is a disc with the same diameter as the quartz sleeve and is fixed at one end of the quartz sleeve; the fiber ferrule is inserted into the quartz sleeve through a preset hole at the other end of the quartz sleeve relative to the end where the high reflection film is located, and the fiber ferrule and the high reflection film are kept at a preset distance; the fiber ferrule is used to input the narrowband laser into the quartz sleeve, and the interference laser formed by the interference of the medium in the quartz sleeve is reflected to the fiber ferrule by the high reflection film, and the fiber ferrule transmits the interference laser to the interference laser processor through the fiber circulator; when the transformer generates partial discharge, the density of the medium in the quartz sleeve is affected.
[0038] The interference laser processor is used to convert the interference laser into an electric signal, and whether the transformer has partial discharge is judged according to the electric signal.
[0039] Wherein, after the partial discharge ultrasonic signal changes the density of the medium in the Fabry-Perot cavity, thereby affecting the refractive index, so as to change the phase and light intensity of the reflected interference light; the electric signals converted by different interference lasers are different, so as to judge whether the transformer has partial discharge.

The optical fiber ferrule is inserted into the quartz sleeve through a preset hole at the closed end of the quartz sleeve, and maintains a preset distance from the high-reflection diaphragm. The optical fiber ferrule is used to input the narrowband laser into the quartz sleeve. The interference laser formed by the interference of the medium in the quartz sleeve is reflected by the high-reflection diaphragm to the optical fiber ferrule, and the optical fiber ferrule transmits the interference laser to the interference laser processor through the optical fiber circulator. When the transformer generates partial discharge, it will affect the density of the medium in the quartz sleeve. The interference laser processor is used to convert the interference laser into an electrical signal and determine whether the transformer has partial discharge based on the electrical signal. The system of the present application can more accurately detect the partial discharge of the transformer.
[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, the interference laser is a first interference laser or a second interference laser; and the acousto-optic direct coupling sensor is further used for:
[0042] When the transformer does not generate partial discharge, the medium in the quartz sleeve interferes with the narrowband laser to form a first interference laser. When the transformer generates partial discharge, the quartz sleeve changes the phase of the narrowband laser through the ultrasonic signal generated by the partial discharge to form a second interference laser.
[0043] Optionally, the medium may be insulating oil.
[0044] For example, when the transformer does not generate partial discharge, the medium in the quartz sleeve interferes with the narrowband laser to form a first interference laser. When the transformer generates partial discharge, the medium in the quartz sleeve changes its density due to the ultrasonic signal generated by the partial discharge. At this time, compared with the normal state, the phase of the narrowband laser is changed, forming a second interference laser.
[0045] Among them, the relationship between the change in insulating oil medium density Δρ and the ultrasonic signal sound pressure P is:
[0046]
[0047] in, is the static density of the insulating oil, is the volume of insulating oil. The refractive index n of the medium changes with the medium density ρ and satisfies the Lorenz-Lorentz relationship, as shown in the following formula:
[0048]
[0049] Among them, density fluctuation Δρ will cause refractive index fluctuation Δn, especially in the high-pressure area where the refractive index is higher and in the sparse area where it is lower. In summary, ultrasound directly modulates the density of insulating oil through mechanical pressure waves, thereby affecting the refractive index.
[0050] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic signal generated by partial discharge brings about a change in the medium density, thereby affecting the interference of the narrow-band laser, and can accurately distinguish whether the transformer has generated partial discharge.

[0052] Among them, a glass sheet is used as the film substrate, and a dielectric anti-reflection film with a reflectivity of 99% is coated on the surface of the glass sheet to obtain a high-reflection film.
