Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of monitoring the operation state of lightning arresters, and particularly relates to a high-voltage lightning arrester operation safety intelligent early warning system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of power systems towards high voltage and long distance transmission, the complexity and vulnerability of power networks are increasingly highlighted. Although high-voltage lightning arresters play a key role in lightning protection and overvoltage suppression, their own operating conditions often fall into a "black box" state due to inadequate monitoring. At the same time, the traditional monitoring mode has many drawbacks:

[0003] (1) Single monitoring parameter; most rely only on leakage current, but at the initial stage of lightning arrester damage, the leakage current changes slightly, and it is difficult to detect hidden dangers by rough monitoring, which may lead to the development of faults to a serious stage before being discovered.

[0004] (2) Outdated monitoring means; the common method is to combine manual inspection with simple instrument measurement during periodic power-off maintenance, which has poor timeliness. On the one hand, manual inspection has a long interval and is difficult to capture transient abnormalities before a sudden failure; on the other hand, there is a large difference between the state of the lightning arrester during power-off and during work, and the data reliability is low, which cannot provide accurate basis for fault diagnosis.

[0005] (3) Lack of systematic analysis; isolated monitoring of each parameter, without establishing an organic connection between parameters, lacking depth processing and analysis of monitoring data, and unable to understand the health status of lightning arresters from the overall perspective of each data, ignoring the diversity and complexity of lightning arrester operating state, which is difficult to discover in time, and further causes chain reactions such as local overheating and discharge, eventually leading to power system accidents, causing immeasurable losses to the society and economy.

[0021] EMBODIMENT

[0022] As shown in the embodiment, a high-voltage arrester operation safety intelligent early warning system block diagram is provided. Figure 1

[0023] A high-voltage arrester operation safety intelligent early warning system, comprising a data acquisition module, an arrester state monitoring device, a communication unit, and a background workstation; the relevant information obtained by the data acquisition module is transmitted to the arrester state monitoring device, and the arrester state monitoring device further obtains detailed information such as leakage current, resistive current, capacitive current, phase angle, and lightning current related parameters when lightning occurs of each arrester through operation analysis and processing. Each interval contains 3 arrester state monitoring devices, and the 3 arrester state monitoring devices are transmitted in parallel in RS-485 communication to the interval containing the communication unit, the communication unit preliminarily integrates and converts the received information, and then transmits it to the background workstation through optical conversion device with optical fiber communication, the background workstation evaluates the running state of the arrester and the damage degree after lightning through comprehensive research and analysis of the transmission information; timely alarm is given to the arrester that does not meet the operation requirements, reminding the operation and maintenance personnel to repair and maintain in time.

[0024] The working principle of the data acquisition module is as follows:

[0025] ​The data acquisition module is used for acquiring the operating parameters of the high-voltage surge arrester, and the operating parameters include leakage current, resistive current, capacitive current, PT voltage, phase angle, lightning stroke times, and lightning-related parameters after suffering lightning stroke. The data acquisition module includes a new composite sensor and a PT voltage acquisition module. The new composite sensor adopts a core-penetrating design, and outputs an alternating voltage signal by sensing the leakage current signal in the measured electrical equipment; meanwhile, a lightning current waveform measurement coil is built-in, which is used for accurately capturing and recording the lightning parameters when the surge arrester suffers lightning stroke. The PT voltage acquisition module mainly acquires the output voltage signal of the line voltage transformer (PT) in the power system.

[0026] The working principle of the surge arrester state monitoring device is as follows:

[0027] The surge arrester state monitoring device is arranged at a field position close to the high-voltage surge arrester, and is used for receiving and processing the data transmitted by the data acquisition module on site, including a data storage unit, a data preprocessing module, a fault preliminary diagnosis module, and a communication interface.

[0028] The working principle of the background workstation is as follows:

[0029] The background workstation is used for receiving, storing, and deeply analyzing and processing the data transmitted by the on-site monitoring device. The background workstation receives the massive data transmitted by the surge arrester state monitoring devices, and the data includes the leakage current, resistive current, capacitive current, PT voltage, action times, and lightning-related parameters of the high-voltage surge arrester under different time periods and different working conditions, and comprehensively judges the state of the high-voltage surge arrester based on the collected data, and performs comprehensive performance evaluation on the surge arrester in different threshold states in different state levels such as "excellent, good, medium, poor, and bad".

[0030] As shown in Figure 2 A high-voltage surge arrester operation safety intelligent early warning system includes the following steps:

[0031] S1, data acquisition: used for acquiring the operating parameters of the high-voltage surge arrester, and the operating parameters include leakage current, resistive current, capacitive current, PT voltage, phase angle, lightning stroke times, and lightning-related parameters after suffering lightning stroke;

[0032] S2, data analysis: the surge arrester state monitoring device performs operation analysis and processing after receiving the data transmitted by S1, and further obtains detailed information such as leakage current, resistive current, capacitive current, phase angle, and lightning current-related parameters when lightning stroke occurs of each surge arrester;

[0033] S3, data transmission and conversion: the communication unit integrates the data transmitted by S2, and converts the integrated data into optical signals through an optoelectronic conversion device for transmission;

[0034] S4, background evaluation: the background workstation transmits the data received in S3, converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, comprehensively analyzes, evaluates and diagnoses the received signal, and displays the monitored arrester operation state and parameters in the form of a system picture. If the arrester has an abnormal fault state, a pop-up window alarm is sent in time.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3 The module works as follows:

[0036] The data acquisition module collects data in two parts, one part is from the data collected by the composite sensor, and the other part is from the external PT voltage collected by the PT voltage signal acquisition module inside the arrester state monitoring device.

[0037] The composite sensor contains a leakage current acquisition unit and a lightning parameter capture unit. When lightning occurs, the lightning current i passes through the arrester and is discharged to the ground through the grounding bar, and the composite sensor is wrapped outside the grounding bar (i.e. the grounding bar passes through the composite sensor). In this process, the composite sensor collects leakage current and captures lightning parameters, and then transmits data to the arrester state monitoring device through serial communication.

[0038] The arrester state monitoring device also collects PT voltage, and through these two parts of data, the operating parameters of the high-voltage arrester (leakage current, resistive current, capacitive current, PT voltage, phase angle, lightning strike times and lightning-related parameters after lightning strike) can be collected.

[0039] As shown in Figure 4 The embodiment provides an installation position diagram of the data acquisition module of the high-voltage arrester operation safety intelligent early warning system.

[0040] The arrester is installed on the arrester column and grounded through the grounding wire. Under normal circumstances, an arrester counter device will be assembled on site, and this device is connected in series between the grounding wire and the ground. The newly added acquisition module of the embodiment needs to be installed before the arrester counter device, and the grounding wire passes through the center of the acquisition module.

[0041] Since the arrester state monitoring device also has the function of lightning strike counting of the arrester, if the arrester state monitoring device is installed on site, the arrester counter device can be removed, reducing the cost of the user.

[0042] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent transformation made by a person skilled in the art by reading the technical scheme of the present application is covered by the patent claim.
