Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of power grid safe operation, specifically to a method for diagnosing corrosion of substation grounding grids. Background Technology

[0002] The substation grounding grid in a power system functions as a current dissipator and voltage equalizer, serving as a crucial foundation and guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the power grid. However, due to its long-term contact with the soil, it inevitably undergoes gradual corrosion under the influence of oxygen, moisture, and microorganisms. Corrosion reduces the overall current dissipation area of ​​the grounding grid, leading to an increase in its grounding resistance. This can cause safety indicators such as contact voltage within the substation to fail to meet requirements, posing safety hazards. In my country, the design life of grounding grids is generally required to be over 30 years, with 50 years considered for important hub substations; however, in some severely corroded areas, the actual service life is only 3-4 years. Therefore, to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system, regular inspection and evaluation of the corrosion status of the grounding grid are essential.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for assessing corrosion of grounding grids include electromagnetic detection and electrical network methods. Electromagnetic detection yields weak signals that are easily interfered with, resulting in poor practical application. In the electrical network method, the limited number of accessible nodes in the grounding grid leads to underdeterminism in the equations, meaning the number of final solutions is not unique, thus compromising accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a method for diagnosing corrosion of substation grounding grids, which at least has the technical effect of accurately guiding power grid operation and maintenance personnel to assess the corrosion status of grounding grids and perform timely maintenance.

[0005] This invention provides a method for diagnosing corrosion of substation grounding grids, the specific steps of which include:

[0006] Obtain the dimensions of the substation grounding grid, the length of the conductor segment between nodes, and the original cross-sectional radius of the conductor segment;

[0007] The test obtains the measured potential between the ground surface vertically above the midpoint of the measurable conductor section of the grounding grid and the selected grounding grid down conductor, as well as the measured voltage between the down conductors.

[0008] The grounding grid is equivalent to a resistive network structure, and a set of equations is constructed to solve for the ground potential of the conductor segment of the grounding grid.

[0009] Initialize the radius of the grounding grid conductor segment and the oxide coverage, and substitute them into the system of equations to solve the calculated potential between the ground surface vertically above the midpoint of the measurable conductor segment of the grounding grid and the selected grounding grid down conductor, as well as the calculated voltage between the down conductors.

[0010] Compare the measured potential and the measured voltage between the down conductors with the calculated potential and the calculated voltage between the down conductors to see if the error meets the requirements. If it does not meet the requirements, update the conductor segment radius and oxide coverage and recalculate. If it meets the requirements, output the grounding grid conductor segment radius and oxide coverage area.

[0011] Evaluate the corrosion of grounding grid conductor segments based on their radius.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] This patent first tests the grounding grid to obtain the voltage between the ground surface potential vertically above the midpoint of the measurable conductor segment of the grounding grid and the selected grounding grid down conductor, as well as the voltage between the down conductors. Then, using the radius of the grounding grid conductor segment as an iterative variable, it calculates the voltage between the ground surface potential vertically above the midpoint of the measurable conductor segment of the grounding grid and the selected grounding grid down conductor, as well as the voltage between the down conductors. The final radius of the grounding grid conductor segment is calculated by using the error between the measured voltage and the calculated voltage as the convergence condition. By comparing the original radius and the calculated radius of the grounding grid conductor segment, the corrosion status of the grounding grid conductor segment is obtained.

[0014] The invention involves comparing the ground surface potential vertically above the midpoint of the measurable conductor segment of the grounding grid obtained through testing with the voltage between the selected grounding grid down conductor and the voltage between the down conductors, as well as the voltage between the down conductors. Theoretically calculated voltages are then used to determine the radius of the grounding grid conductor through iterative calculations. Based on this, the degree of corrosion of the grounding grid conductor is assessed, thereby guiding power grid maintenance personnel in maintaining the grounding grid. This method is applicable to scenarios where the number of grounding grid nodes is limited and can calculate the radius of the grounding grid conductor segment, providing more accurate guidance for power grid maintenance personnel to assess the corrosion status of the grounding grid and perform timely maintenance.

[0015] The method of this invention comprehensively utilizes the voltage between the ground surface vertically above the midpoint of the grounding grid conductor segment and the selected grounding grid down conductor, as well as the voltage between the grounding grid down conductors, to achieve grounding grid corrosion assessment. This method is not limited by the number of down conductors, the corresponding equation system does not have underdeterminacy, and it considers the impact of grounding grid conductor segment corrosion on conductor leakage current, making the grounding grid corrosion assessment more accurate.
