[0002] The power transformer is a key equipment in the power grid system, and its operation state is directly related to the safety and stability of the entire power grid. At present, the fault monitoring means based on oil chromatographic analysis has problems such as hysteresis, incomplete diagnosis basis, long detection period, and the like, and it is difficult to realize early warning of the rapidly developing fault. In order to overcome the above technical bottlenecks, the field urgently needs a new type of fault monitoring method which can directly and quickly respond to fault energy. The ideal method should be able to utilize a signal carrier more sensitive to low energy earlier than the slow cracking process of insulating oil, so as to greatly advance the window period of fault warning. Therefore, developing a transformer insulating oil fault diagnosis method based on a new principle, which responds quickly and diagnoses clearly, has become a technical problem to be solved by the technical personnel in the field.

[0007] Among them, R is hydrogen, aryl or alkyl; R 1 is hydrogen, aryl or alkyl; R 2 is alkyl. At this time, the theoretical barrier isomerization energy barrier of the above aryl ether compound is 30-60 kJ / mol.

[0008] The above aryl ether compound is generated from a phenolic compound and a halogenated hydrocarbon compound under the condition of a base and a solvent, and the reaction formula can be:

[0009]

[0010] The phenolic compound is a chiral phenolic compound or a common phenolic compound with the structure of formula 1, R is hydrogen, aryl or alkyl, and R 1 is hydrogen, aryl or alkyl.

[0011] Halogenated hydrocarbon compound R 2 X is chlorine, bromine or iodine, R 2 is alkyl.

[0012] The base is an organic base or an inorganic base, such as one of triethylamine, potassium carbonate or cesium carbonate.

[0013] The solvent is a polar solvent, which can be one or more of tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, N , N dimethylformamide.

[0014] The amount of each component relative to 1.0 mol of the phenolic compound is: 1.0-5.0 mol of the halogenated hydrocarbon compound, 1.0-3.0 mol of the base, and 10-2500 ml of the solvent.

[0015] The reaction can be carried out under an inert atmosphere or in an open air atmosphere, with the temperature controlled at 50-120°C, and the reaction time adjusted according to the type of substrate, usually 1-50 hours.

[0016] After the reaction is completed, the target diagnostic agent is obtained by a conventional separation and purification method (such as extraction, distillation, chromatography, etc.).

[0017] As a preferred solution, the application of the above-mentioned aryl ether compound as a transformer fault diagnostic agent includes: adding the aryl ether compound as a transformer fault diagnostic agent into transformer insulating oil to form an insulating oil diagnostic agent composition; periodically collecting an oil sample of the insulating oil diagnostic agent composition from the equipment during the operation of the transformer for monitoring, analyzing the diagnostic agent in the oil sample by using a chiral chromatographic analysis technology (such as chiral HPLC), measuring the change in the proportion of chiral isomers of the diagnostic agent, especially the change in the percentage of enantiomeric excess, obtaining a quantitative relationship between the percentage of enantiomeric excess of the diagnostic agent and the overheating fault energy; according to the sampling time interval and the change rate of the percentage of enantiomeric excess in the insulating oil, substituting into the quantitative relationship between the percentage of enantiomeric excess of the diagnostic agent and the overheating fault energy, deducing the overheating temperature and the overheating duration of the transformer.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present application at least includes the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The response mechanism is sensitive and efficient, and early and accurate early warning is realized

[0023] The application method directly reflects the transformer overheating fault energy by monitoring the ratio change (especially the enantiomeric excess percentage) of the chiral isomers of the diagnostic agent. The diagnostic agent undergoes configuration transformation under the action of thermal stress, and the kinetic behavior has a clear quantitative relationship with the fault energy. This method avoids the lag of traditional oil chromatographic analysis which relies on slow cracking products of insulating oil, is more sensitive to low-energy faults, can significantly advance the warning window period, and improves the timeliness and accuracy of fault identification.

[0024] 2. The operation process is simple and compatible with the existing operation and maintenance system

[0025] The diagnostic agent only needs to be added to the insulating oil in a trace amount (0.01wt%-10wt%), without the need to modify the internal structure of the transformer. The sampling and analysis process can be seamlessly embedded in the existing oil monitoring system, and rapid detection can be realized through conventional chiral chromatographic technology (such as chiral HPLC), without the need to introduce complex equipment or additional operation steps, greatly reducing the difficulty and cost of technology popularization.

[0026] 3. High diagnostic accuracy, supporting quantitative evaluation of fault energy

[0027] By establishing a quantitative relationship between the enantiomeric excess percentage and the overheating fault energy, combined with the time interval data of regular sampling, the fault temperature and duration can be accurately back calculated, providing reliable data support for fault location, severity evaluation and maintenance decision-making.

[0028] 4. Excellent material compatibility, ensuring the intrinsic performance of insulating oil

[0029] Experiments show that within the recommended addition amount range, the diagnostic agent has little effect on the key parameters (such as density, kinematic viscosity, breakdown voltage, etc.) of the insulating oil, and each index still meets the requirements of GB2536-2011 standard, showing good engineering applicability and safety.

[0030] The above description is only a summary of the technical solutions of the present application, in order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present application, and to be implemented in accordance with the content of the specification, and in order to make the above and other purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the following specific embodiments of the present application are described.

[0062] The aryl ether compound was added to the transformer insulating oil at a ratio of 0.2 wt% as a transformer fault diagnostic agent to form an insulating oil diagnostic agent composition. During transformer operation, oil samples of the insulating oil diagnostic agent composition were periodically collected from the equipment for monitoring. The diagnostic agent in the oil samples was analyzed using chiral HPLC to determine the changes in the proportion of its chiral isomers, especially the changes in the enantiomeric excess percentage, and to obtain a quantitative relationship between the enantiomeric excess percentage of the diagnostic agent and the overheating fault energy. Based on the sample collection time interval and the rate of change of the enantiomeric excess percentage in the insulating oil, these values ​​were substituted into the quantitative relationship between the enantiomeric excess percentage of the diagnostic agent and the overheating fault energy to derive the transformer overheating temperature and overheating duration.

[0064] Test Example 1

[0065] The aryl ether compounds from Examples 1 and 2 were added to the insulating oil at 0.2 wt% (ratios of 5:1, 5:2, 5:3, 5:4, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, and 1:5, respectively). To verify its effectiveness, laboratory simulated fault tests were conducted. Multiple oil samples were placed at different temperatures (simulating overheating faults of varying intensities), and samples were periodically taken and their chiral purity analyzed. The results showed that the chiral purity of the aryl ether compounds (e.g., the enantiomeric excess percentage, i.e., the ee value) decreased systematically with increasing heating time, and the rate of decrease varied at different temperatures. This demonstrates that by monitoring this ratio change, the magnitude and cumulative effect of thermal stress (fault energy) experienced by the insulating oil over time can be effectively reflected, thereby enabling early warning and diagnosis of faults.
