Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart grid technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for analyzing the short-circuit withstand capability of power transformers that takes into account cumulative damage. Background Technology
[0002] In power grid fault statistics, equipment damage and system outages caused by short-circuit faults at the output of power transformers have consistently remained high. The fundamental reason for this is the insufficient short-circuit withstand capacity of the power transformers themselves, and the impact of complex operating conditions on the accuracy of short-circuit withstand capacity analysis.
[0003] Existing methods for analyzing the short-circuit withstand capability of power transformers only specify short-circuit testing and verification calculation methods for newly manufactured power transformers, failing to cover the actual degradation mechanisms of operational equipment. Furthermore, when assessing short-circuit withstand capability, they often only consider independent influencing factors or short-circuit scenarios occurring under only one theoretical condition, resulting in inaccurate short-circuit withstand capability analysis. This directly restricts the power grid's assessment of short-circuit risks of operational equipment and reduces the grid's proactive defense capabilities.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a method and system for analyzing the short-circuit withstand capability of power transformers that takes into account cumulative damage, thereby solving the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this application are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The flowchart illustrates a method for analyzing the short-circuit withstand capability of a power transformer considering cumulative damage, as provided in this application embodiment. The method includes: S1, obtaining power transformer parameters under all short-circuit conditions, including operating parameters, structural parameters, and fault parameters; S2, obtaining an operating aging damage coefficient, a cumulative impact damage coefficient, and a thermal effect damage coefficient based on the comprehensive safety factor of the power transformer's short-circuit withstand capability after the previous short-circuit impact, based on the operating parameters, structural parameters, fault parameters, and the comprehensive safety factor of the power transformer's short-circuit withstand capability after the previous short-circuit impact; S3, performing a stress analysis on the power transformer under each short-circuit condition to obtain the stress on each winding of the power transformer; S4, constructing a functional relationship between the structural parameters, fault parameters, cumulative impact damage coefficient, and multi-dimensional safety factor based on the stress on each winding of the power transformer. The safety factor includes at least: strength safety factor, stiffness safety factor, stability safety factor, and vibration safety factor; S5, perform a first correction on the multi-dimensional safety factor based on the operating aging damage factor, cumulative impact damage factor, and thermal effect damage factor to obtain the first-corrected multi-dimensional safety factor; S6, for multi-winding power transformers, decouple and deconstruct the force influence of each winding to obtain the mechanical coupling coefficient of each winding, and perform a second correction on the first-corrected multi-dimensional safety factor based on the mechanical coupling coefficient of each winding to obtain the comprehensive safety factor of the power transformer's short-circuit withstand capability under the current short-circuit condition; S7, determine whether the iteration stop condition is met. If it is met, the analysis ends; otherwise, repeat steps S2-S6.
[0027] Specifically, the short-circuit withstand capability of a power transformer in operation is constrained by a variety of factors, including: after experiencing a short-circuit impact, the mechanical characteristics of the power transformer will undergo multi-dimensional time-varying degradation, including the attenuation of material strength and support stiffness; its insulation material will undergo accelerated thermal aging under the action of short-time thermal effects, resulting in irreversible weakening of the material's mechanical properties and weakening of insulation support; the nonlinear force amplification effect caused by strong electro-magnetic and mechanical coupling between its windings and the path dependence of mechanical coupling between windings make the windings more prone to local stress concentration and deformation under short-circuit impact; the above factors together constrain the short-circuit withstand capability of the equipment.
[0028] Therefore, the short-circuit withstand capability analysis method for power transformers provided in this application obtains the power transformer parameters under all short-circuit conditions: operating parameters, structural parameters, and fault parameters. Based on the power transformer parameters, the stress condition under any short-circuit fault is calculated, and a multi-dimensional mechanical strength analysis, including strength, stiffness, stability, and vibration, is performed on the stress condition to obtain safety factors for strength, stiffness, stability, and vibration. At the same time, the first correction is made to the multi-dimensional safety factors considering aging damage, cumulative impact damage, and thermal effect damage, and the second correction is made to the multi-dimensional safety factors considering the strong coupling effect between windings. Finally, a comprehensive safety factor for the short-circuit withstand capability of the power transformer is obtained, which is used to evaluate the short-circuit withstand capability of the power transformer.
[0029] Please see Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 Algorithm diagram of the short-circuit withstand capability analysis method for power transformers considering cumulative damage provided in the embodiments of this application. Step S1: Obtain power transformer parameters under all short-circuit conditions: operating parameter P to Structural parameter P ts and fault parameter P tf Step S2 is based on the running parameter P to Structural parameter P ts Fault parameter P tf Based on the comprehensive safety factor γ of the power transformer's short-circuit withstand capability after the previous short-circuit impact, the operating aging damage coefficient η1, cumulative impact damage coefficient η2, and thermal effect damage coefficient η3 are obtained; step S3 analyzes the stress on each winding of the power transformer under each short-circuit condition; step S4 constructs the structural parameter P based on the stress on each winding of the power transformer. ts Fault parameter P tf Cumulative impact damage coefficient η2 and multidimensional safety factor K S (At least including: strength safety factor K) S1 Stiffness safety factor K S2 Stability safety factor K S3 and vibration safety factor K S4The functional relationship of ); Step S5 is based on the operating aging damage coefficient η1, the cumulative impact damage coefficient η2, and the thermal effect damage coefficient η3 to determine the multi-dimensional safety factor K.

Sa Perform a second correction to obtain the comprehensive safety factor γ of the power transformer's short-circuit withstand capability under the current short-circuit condition; in step S7, determine whether the iteration stop condition is met. If it is met, the analysis ends; otherwise, repeat steps S2-S6.
[0030] Please see Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a framework diagram of the short-circuit withstand capability analysis method for power transformers considering cumulative damage, provided in the embodiments of this application. The improvement of this application lies in proposing a comprehensive, wide-boundary, multi-dimensional, and strongly coupled short-circuit withstand capability analysis method for power transformers. Considering all short-circuit operating conditions, for any given short-circuit condition, the safety factor of the windings is analyzed from multiple dimensions (strength, stiffness, stability, and vibration, etc.). Simultaneously, a first correction is made to the multi-dimensional safety factor by considering the wide-boundary damage factor (operating aging, cumulative impact, thermal effects), and a second correction is made by considering the strong mechanical coupling between windings. Finally, an accurate comprehensive safety factor for the short-circuit withstand capability of the power transformer is obtained, realizing the assessment of the short-circuit withstand capability of the power transformer.
[0031] It should be noted that the core of this application is to perform stress calculations under any short-circuit condition, assess winding safety from multiple dimensions, and consider the effects of aging, cumulative impact, thermal damage, and strong coupling between windings to comprehensively analyze the short-circuit withstand capacity of the power transformer windings. The specific calculation methods for each parameter in this application include, but are not limited to, standard specifications, principle calculations, finite element simulations, and academic achievements. Different calculation methods will only affect the accuracy of the analysis results and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application.
[0032] Step S1 is to obtain the power transformer parameters under all short-circuit conditions, including: operating parameter P to Structural parameter P ts and fault parameter P tf In one possible implementation, step S1 includes: running parameter P toAt least include: service life and capacity load during operation; structural parameter P ts At least including: winding, core, and tank parameters; fault parameter P tf It includes at least three-phase short circuit, two-phase short circuit, and single-phase ground faults in high-voltage, high-low voltage, medium-low voltage, and combined operation modes of power grids.
[0033] Specifically, the fault parameter P of the power transformer tf This includes all short-circuit conditions that may occur during the operation of power transformers, including but not limited to three-phase short circuits, two-phase short circuits, and single-phase ground faults under high-medium, high-low, medium-low, and combined operation modes. The operating parameter P of the power transformer... to This includes the service life and capacity load during operation; the structural parameters P of the power transformer. ts Including but not limited to windings, core, and oil tank; operating parameter P to Structural parameter P ts and fault parameter P tf Used for analysis in subsequent steps.
[0034] It is understandable that this application considers all possible short-circuit conditions that may occur during the operation of power transformers. Compared with considering a specific short-circuit condition, the short-circuit withstand capability analysis of power transformers in this application has a more comprehensive scope.
[0035] Step S2 is based on the running parameter P to Structural parameter P ts Fault parameter P tf The combined safety factor γ of the power transformer's short-circuit withstand capability after the previous short-circuit impact is used to obtain the aging damage coefficient η1, the cumulative impact damage coefficient η2, and the thermal effect damage coefficient η3.
[0036] In one possible implementation, step S2 includes: based on operating parameter P to and structural parameter P ts The operational aging damage coefficient η1 is obtained; based on structural parameter P ts Fault parameter P tf The cumulative impact damage coefficient η2 is obtained by combining the comprehensive safety factor γ of the power transformer's short-circuit withstand capability after the previous short-circuit impact; based on the structural parameter P ts and fault parameter P tf The thermal effect damage coefficient η3 is obtained.
[0037] In another possible implementation, step S2 includes: based on the operating parameter P to Structural parameter P ts Fault parameter P tfThe power transformer is simulated and tested based on the comprehensive safety factor γ of the short-circuit withstand capability after the previous short-circuit impact. Based on the simulation test data, an operating aging curve, a mechanical damage curve, and a thermal distribution curve are generated. Based on the operating aging curve, mechanical damage curve, and thermal distribution curve, the operating aging damage coefficient η1, the cumulative impact damage coefficient η2, and the thermal effect damage coefficient η3 are extracted.
[0038] Specifically, relatively accurate damage coefficients η1, η2, and η3 can be extracted from experimental test data using simulation-generated operating aging, mechanical damage, and thermal distribution curves. Alternatively, these loss coefficients can be extracted using industry research findings within the scope of existing technology.
[0039] The aging damage coefficient η1 and the operating parameters P of the power transformer to and structural parameter P ts Related:
[0040] η1=φ(P ts ,P to (1)
[0041] In the formula, φ is the functional relationship of the aging damage coefficient η1, indicating that the aging damage coefficient η1 is related to the operating parameter P. to Structural parameter P ts Relevant, η1≥1.0.
[0042] The cumulative impact damage coefficient η2 is calculated as follows: assuming η2 = 1.0 for the first short-circuit condition, subsequent calculations should consider the influence of the previous short-circuit impact. Its calculation expression is:
[0043] η2=Π(P ts ,P tf ,γ n-1 (2)
[0044] In the formula, Π is the functional relationship of the cumulative impact damage coefficient η2, η2≥1.0, which is related to the structural parameter P. ts Fault parameter P tf It is related to the comprehensive safety factor γ of the power transformer's short-circuit withstand capability after the previous short-circuit impact. For the first impact, γ is taken as 1.0.
[0045] Thermal damage coefficient η3 and structural parameter P of power transformer ts and fault parameter P tf Related:
[0046] η3=f(P ts ,P tf (3)
[0047] In the formula, f is the functional relationship of the thermal effect damage coefficient η3, which is related to the structural parameter P.ts and fault parameter P tf Relevant, η3≥1.0.
[0048] Step S3 involves performing a stress analysis on the power transformer under each short-circuit condition to obtain the stress on each winding of the power transformer. In one possible implementation, step S3 includes: loading the winding current and current duration of the power transformer under each short-circuit condition; analyzing the stress on each winding based on the winding current and current duration; and determining the correctness of the stress on each winding in the simulation calculation based on the leakage flux distribution and short-circuit impedance.
[0049] Specifically, one short-circuit condition is selected from all short-circuit conditions in step S1 for stress calculation. The calculation methods include, but are not limited to, principle formulas, finite element simulations, and research results. Different calculation methods will only affect the accuracy of the evaluation and should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Preferably, after completing material assignment, mesh generation, and loading and boundary settings through finite element simulation, the stress on each winding is accurately calculated; the correctness of the simulation calculation is judged by the leakage flux distribution and short-circuit impedance obtained from the simulation calculation. Alternatively, the winding stress can be calculated based on theoretical calculations and industry research results.
[0050] Step S4 is based on the forces acting on each winding of the power transformer to construct the structural parameters P. ts Fault parameter P tf Cumulative impact damage coefficient η2 and multidimensional safety factor K S Functional relation, multidimensional security factor K S At least including: strength safety factor K S1 Stiffness safety factor K S2 Stability safety factor K S3 and vibration safety factor K S4 Specifically, the safety of the winding is assessed from multiple dimensions to obtain a multi-dimensional safety coefficient K. S Including winding strength K S1 Stiffness K S2 Stability K S3 and vibration K S4 Equal dimensions, its multi-dimensional security factor K S The cumulative impact damage coefficient η2 and the structural parameters P of the power transformer ts Fault parameter P tf Influence:
[0051] K S =β(P ts ,P tf ,η2) (4)
[0052] In the formula, β is the multi-dimensional security factor K. S The functional relationship. For example, the strength safety factor K.S1 =β1(P ts ,P tf ,η2), β1 is the strength safety factor K S1 The functional relation.
[0053] Understandably, for each short-circuit impact, this application analyzes the short-circuit withstand capability of the power transformer from multiple dimensions, judging the short-circuit withstand capability of the power transformer from multiple dimensions such as strength, stiffness, stability and vibration, thereby improving the accuracy of short-circuit withstand capability analysis.
[0054] Step S5 is based on the operating aging damage coefficient η1, the cumulative impact damage coefficient η2, and the thermal effect damage coefficient η3 to determine the multi-dimensional safety factor K. S Perform the first correction to obtain the multi-dimensional security coefficient K after the first correction. Sa In one possible implementation, step S5 includes: adjusting the multi-dimensional safety factor K based on the operating aging damage coefficient η1, the cumulative impact damage coefficient η2, and the thermal effect damage coefficient η3. S Perform multiplication or division operations to obtain the first corrected multidimensional security factor K. Sa .
[0055] Specifically, based on the damage coefficients η1, η2, and η3 obtained in step S2 as the wide-area boundary influence, the multi-dimensional safety factor K is... S Perform the first correction. The corrected multi-dimensional safety factor K. Sa for:
[0056] K sa =δ(K) s ,η1,η2,η3)(5)
[0057] In the formula, δ is the multi-dimensional safety factor K. Sa Based on the functional relations, a method for correcting the multi-dimensional security factor under the influence of wide-area boundaries was established. Taking the division correction as an example, the corrected multi-dimensional security factor K can be obtained. Sa for:
[0058]
[0059] It should be noted that, in addition to division, subtraction or other algorithms can also be used for correction, and this application does not restrict the correction formula.
[0060] According to industry research practices, the safety factors of each winding in the above-mentioned multiple dimensions are calculated separately according to the radial and axial directions for subsequent analysis.
[0061] Understandably, unlike newly manufactured power transformers, the operating conditions of power transformers already in operation are more complex. After multiple short-circuit impacts, the equipment may suffer mechanical damage, aging due to operation, and thermal aging of insulation materials, affecting its short-circuit withstand capability. Therefore, this application comprehensively considers multiple influencing factors such as operational aging, cumulative impacts, and thermal effects during operation, and corrects the multi-dimensional safety factor. The corrected safety factor more accurately reflects the short-circuit withstand capability of the power transformer windings.
[0062] Step S6 involves decoupling the stress effects on each winding of a multi-winding power transformer to obtain the mechanical coupling coefficients of each winding. Based on these mechanical coupling coefficients, the first corrected multi-dimensional safety factor K is then calculated. Sa A second correction is performed to obtain the comprehensive safety factor γ of the power transformer's short-circuit withstand capability under the current short-circuit condition. In one possible implementation, step S6 includes: decoupling the forces on each winding of the power transformer to obtain the radial mechanical coupling coefficient and axial mechanical coupling coefficient of each winding, and taking the larger value as the mechanical coupling coefficient of the winding; based on the radial mechanical coupling coefficient and axial mechanical coupling coefficient of each winding, calculating the radial mechanical coupling correction value and axial mechanical coupling correction value of each winding, and taking the larger value as the mechanical coupling correction value of the winding; for each winding of the power transformer, applying the first correction to the multi-dimensional safety factor K of the winding based on the mechanical coupling correction value of the winding. Sa A second correction is made, and the smallest safety factor among the multi-dimensional safety factors after the second correction is taken as the comprehensive safety factor of the winding short-circuit withstand capability for the current short-circuit condition.
[0063] Specifically, for multi-winding power transformers, there are strong mechanical coupling relationships between the windings, and their influence mechanisms differ. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the mechanical coupling effects between the windings. Taking a three-winding power transformer as an example, the stress effects are coupled and decoupled according to the radial and axial directions, and the multi-dimensional safety factor is corrected to obtain the final short-circuit withstand capacity. The specific method is as follows:
[0064] For ease of description, let the subscripts for the inner, intermediate, and outer windings, from the core outwards, be inn, mid, and out, respectively. Therefore, let the radial mechanical coupling coefficients of each winding be ζ. innr ζ midr and ζ outr The axial mechanical coupling coefficients are respectively ζ innz ζ midz and ζ outz The larger value is taken as the mechanical coupling coefficient ζ of the winding. inn ζ mid and ζ out .
[0065] Based on the winding stress characteristics and support relationship, and ignoring minor influencing factors, the mechanical coupling relationship between windings is summarized in Table 1:
[0066] Table 1. Mechanical Coupling Relationships Between Windings
[0067]
[0068]
[0069] In the table, "√" indicates relevant and "--" indicates irrelevant. Based on the relationships in the table above, the radial mechanical coupling correction value K, which takes into account the mutual coupling effect between windings, can be directly calculated. innr K midr K outr And axial mechanical coupling correction value K innz K midz K outz The larger value is taken as the mechanical coupling correction value K of the winding. inn K mid K out Taking the middle winding as an example:
[0070] K midr =ζ innr ·ζ midz (7)
[0071] K midz =ζ midr ·ζ innz ·ζ outz (8)
[0072] Take the larger value as the mechanical coupling correction value K for the middle winding. mid =max[K midr ,K midz ].
[0073] In this embodiment, the above six mechanical coupling coefficients (ζ) innr ζ midr ζ outr ζ innz ζ midz and ζ outz All coefficients are not less than 1.0.

[0076] In the formula, Λ represents the functional relationship between the comprehensive safety factor γ of the short-circuit withstand capability of the power transformer and the mechanical coupling effect between the windings. In the multi-dimensional (strength, stiffness, stability and vibration) safety factor calculation results obtained by formula (9), the minimum value is extracted as the comprehensive safety factor of the short-circuit withstand capability of this power transformer.

[0083] Step S7 determines whether the iteration stopping condition is met. If it is met, the analysis ends; otherwise, steps S2-S6 are executed repeatedly. In one possible implementation, the iteration stopping condition is: the winding of the power transformer is damaged; or, the comprehensive safety factor calculation of the power transformer's short-circuit withstand capability for all short-circuit conditions is completed.

It should be noted that when the windings of the power transformer are damaged, it is meaningless to analyze its short-circuit withstand capability, and the analysis process is terminated at this time.
[0085] Furthermore, this application can also develop a visualization software platform to display the parameters and results of the power transformer short-circuit withstand capability analysis process in the form of data, charts, etc., and store them in the form of reports; at the same time, based on the calculated comprehensive safety factor of the winding short-circuit withstand capability, it can assist in determining the health status of the power transformer and realize display and monitoring.
