[0054] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in greater detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it is understood that various forms implement the present disclosure and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, the embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure can be more thoroughly understood and the scope of the present disclosure can be accurately conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0055] The application constructs a transformer bushing residual life prediction system based on digital twinning technology, including an entity sensing module, a digital twinning body and a life prediction module.

[0056] The entity sensing module collects temperature, current and voltage data in real time through temperature sensors, current transformers and voltage transformers installed at key parts of the bushing and at the outlet; the memory integrates data one month ago into a service period characteristic parameter matrix, and recent data into a sensing characteristic parameter matrix.

[0057] The digital twin is composed of a structure model, a parameter model, and a multi-physical field model: the structure model is constructed by CAD software according to the physical parameters of the bushing (terminal, oil pillow, capacitor core, flange, etc.) to build a two-dimensional model; the parameter model is based on test reports and maintenance reports to fit the curves of the electrical field parameters (dielectric constant ε, conductivity σ) of mineral oil, oil paper and other materials, the temperature field parameters (heat transfer coefficient h) and the flow field parameters (dynamic viscosity ξ, fluid density ρ) with temperature variation; the multi-physical field model realizes electromagnetic field-temperature field-fluid field coupling simulation through Maxwell equations, Navier-Stokes equations and heat transfer equations, and outputs a simulation characteristic parameter matrix.

[0058] A direct correlation rule between the number of bushing capacitor core layers and the furfural influence coefficient is established: the number of layers is changed by changing the oil channel structure, which forcibly corrects the curvature radius of the conductivity with temperature variation, so that the same temperature sensing data will generate differentiated conductivity fitting curves in different numbers of layers of the sleeve, thereby binding the electrical response characteristics of the material to the physical degradation structure depth of the bushing.

[0059] The digital twin correction process compares the difference between the simulation matrix and the service cycle matrix: if the relative error is ≤ a set threshold, the final simulation quantity characteristic matrix is output; if the error is > the threshold, the material parameters are corrected and the simulation is re-performed. The remaining life prediction module uses a support vector machine model to input the simulation characteristic parameter matrix (including temperature field and electric field distribution) to predict the time when the bushing reaches the failure threshold.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 Based on the above system, the application provides a transformer bushing residual life prediction method based on digital twin, which predicts the residual life of the bushing according to the temperature field distribution corresponding to the eddy current loss power.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the calculation of the eddy current loss power includes:

[0062] S101, obtain the current frequency, material resistivity and geometric structure parameters of the transformer bushing guide rod, the geometric structure parameters including guide rod outer diameter, guide rod inner diameter and guide rod length;

[0063] The current frequency is obtained by real-time measurement of the guide rod alternating current waveform through the current transformer installed at the bushing outlet, and the power frequency f (unit: Hz) is extracted.

[0064] The geometric structure parameters (guide rod outer diameter r1, guide rod inner diameter r2, guide rod length l) are directly obtained by calling design drawings and test reports.

[0065] Wherein, r1 and r2 are derived from the size (unit: meter) marked on the design drawing, and l is derived from the axial length (unit: meter) of the guide rod recorded in the test report. The material resistivity p (unit: Ω·m) is obtained according to the resistivity data of the conductor in the material parameter library of the casing.

[0066] S102, calculating the cross-sectional area of the guide rod according to the outer diameter of the guide rod and the inner diameter of the guide rod;

[0067] The cross-sectional area s (unit: square meter) of the guide rod is calculated through the geometric relationship of the hollow cylinder:

[0068]

[0069] Wherein r1 is the outer diameter of the guide rod, and r2 is the inner diameter of the guide rod. The formula defines the effective current-carrying area of the conductor, which provides a geometric basis for the calculation of the direct current resistance.

[0070] S103, calculating the direct current resistance of the guide rod according to the material resistivity, the length of the guide rod and the cross-sectional area;

[0071] The direct current resistance R (unit: ohm) of the guide rod is calculated based on Ohm's law:

[0072]

[0073] Wherein p is the material resistivity, l is the length of the guide rod, and s is the cross-sectional area. This calculation represents the inherent resistance characteristics of the conductor under direct current conditions.

[0074] S104, calculating the alternating current resistance of the guide rod based on the current frequency, material resistivity, outer diameter of the guide rod and inner diameter of the guide rod;

[0075] An electromagnetic field analytical model of the thin-walled conductor is established to solve the boundary value problem of Maxwell's equations in the hollow cylindrical coordinate system.

[0076] The differential form of Maxwell's equations is:

[0077]

[0078] ▽·B=0

[0079] ▽·D=ρ

[0080] The constitutive equation is:

[0081] D=εE

[0082] B=μH

[0083] J=σE

[0084] Wherein, μ is the magnetic permeability (unit: H / m), E is the electric field intensity (unit: V / m), and p is the charge density (unit: C / m3 ), B is magnetic induction (unit: T), H is magnetic field intensity (unit: A / m), and ε is dielectric constant (unit: F / m).

[0085] In the calculation of the eddy current field, there is a formula:

[0086] J e = σE

[0087]

[0088] where ω is the angular frequency of the current.

[0089] In the eddy current field model, because σ » ωε (ω = 2πf is the angular frequency) under the power frequency condition, the displacement current can be ignored.

[0090] The magnetic vector potential A is introduced The eddy current field equation is obtained:

[0091]

[0092] The Coulomb gauge is applied which is simplified as:

[0093]

[0094] The boundary conditions are that the air domain outside the bushing B = 0 and A = 0; and the medium interface satisfies B 2n = B 1n and H 2t = H 1t . By solving the model, the alternating current resistance R ac (unit: ohm) is obtained.

[0095] S105, the alternating current resistance is divided by the direct current resistance to obtain a skin effect coefficient;

[0096] The skin effect coefficient k s is defined as:

[0097]

[0098] where R ac is the alternating current resistance, and R is the direct current resistance. The coefficient quantifies the degree of additional loss caused by the skin effect of high-frequency current.

[0099] S106, obtaining the current amplitude flowing through the transformer bushing guide rod;

[0100] The current waveform of the guide rod is measured in real time by a current transformer, and the peak value thereof is extracted as the current amplitude I (unit: ampere).

[0101] S107, calculate the eddy current loss power of the transformer bushing lead according to the skin effect coefficient, the square of the current amplitude and the direct current resistance.

[0102] The formula for calculating the eddy current loss power P (unit: watt) is:

[0103] P=k s I 2 R

[0104] wherein k s is the skin effect coefficient, I is the current amplitude, and R is the direct current resistance. This formula quantifies the heat generation power of the lead under high-frequency current, which is the core heat source input for temperature field simulation.

[0105] Further, the temperature field distribution is calculated:

[0106] The eddy current loss power P is input into the temperature field model, combined with the Joule heat loss of the lead and the dielectric loss (unit volume heat generation power Q), and the transformer oil flow state is solved by the Navier-Stokes equation:

[0107]

[0108] wherein v is the flow velocity (unit: m / s), F is the mass force (unit: N), p is the fluid pressure (unit: Pa), and ξ is the dynamic viscosity (unit: kg / (m·s)).

[0109] Coupling the heat conduction equation:

[0110]

[0111] The convection heat transfer equation is:

[0112] Q=hA(T w -T f )

[0113] wherein ρ is the density (unit: kg / m 3 ), C is the specific heat capacity (unit: J / (kg·K)), λ is the thermal conductivity (unit: W / (m·K)), h is the convective heat transfer coefficient (unit: W / (m 2 ·℃)), T w and T f are the wall and fluid temperatures (unit: ℃), respectively, and A is the surface area (unit: m 2 ).

[0114] The thermal radiation power is calculated as E=εC0(T / 100) 4 (C0=5.67W\cdotpm -2 \cdotpm -4). The final steady-state temperature distribution function is T = f(x, y, z).

[0115] It should be noted that in this application, when the temperature error is out of limit, the oil paper heat exchange coefficient correction is triggered, and the correction range is determined by the sleeve oil channel inclination characteristic; when the radial electric field error is out of limit, the dielectric constant is adjusted, and the correction step is strictly proportional to the aluminum foil spacing between the capacitor core. In particular, when the temperature and electric field error are out of limit at the same time, the fluid viscosity negative feedback adjustment mechanism controlled by the number of flange bolts forms a cooperative correction path across the physical field. This three-way binding decision rule of error type, correction parameter and structure characteristic fundamentally reconstructs the topological relationship of the traditional correction process.

[0116] Remaining life prediction:

[0117] The temperature field distribution is input into the trained machine learning model (support vector machine) to predict the time when the sleeve reaches the preset failure threshold. The training process includes: taking the simulation characteristic parameter matrix generated by the digital twin as input (including temperature field, electric field distribution), and taking the sleeve failure time as label; dividing the training set and test set and cross validating; evaluating the model by accuracy, recall rate and F1 value; after parameter tuning and optimization, the remaining life prediction result is output.

[0118] Further, the curvature extreme point of the axial electric field distribution is extracted, and its amplitude is multiplied by the flange length to convert into a dimensionless distortion factor. The dominant position of this distortion factor in the machine learning model: its weight proportion is dynamically calculated from the sleeve operating voltage value, and when the operating voltage exceeds the reference value, the distortion factor will squeeze the weight space of other features, so that the model decision logic completely focuses on the physical characterization of the layered defects of the capacitor core. This feature weight dynamic allocation mechanism based on structure parameters completely changes the input structure of the conventional machine learning model.
