Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of on-load tap changer technology, and relates to the analysis of on-load tap changer (OLTC) contact action, specifically to a method and system for determining the timing of vacuum OLTC contact action. Background Technology
[0002] Transformers, as crucial devices for regulating system voltage, rely on on-load tap changers (OLTCs) for voltage regulation. Compared to traditional power systems, the frequency of OLTC operations has significantly increased in the context of new power systems. Taking renewable energy collection stations as an example, the average daily number of OLTC operations has increased by 3-5 times. Under conditions of high harmonicity and DC bias, the probability of OLTC failure rises sharply; statistics show that OLTC failures account for over 20% of transformer failures.
[0003] Several methods have been proposed for determining the timing of contact actions in vacuum OLTC systems, but these methods all have certain limitations. Traditional mechanical measurement methods monitor the contact's movement by installing displacement sensors, limit switches, and other devices. However, this method requires direct contact with the contact, which not only interferes with the contact's normal movement but is also susceptible to mechanical wear and vibration, leading to decreased measurement accuracy and reduced reliability over long-term use. Electrical measurement methods mainly infer the timing of contact actions by detecting changes in current and voltage during contact action. While this method avoids direct contact with the contact, in practical applications, the complex electromagnetic interference in power systems can easily distort the detection signal, resulting in inaccurate judgments. Furthermore, the reliability of electrical measurement methods is severely affected when system faults or harmonics are present. Optical measurement methods utilize optical sensors to monitor contact action, offering advantages such as non-contact operation and fast response. However, optical measurement systems have high environmental requirements, are easily affected by dust, oil, and light, and are also expensive, difficult to install and maintain, limiting their widespread application in practical engineering.
[0004] Currently, existing research includes: Patent CN109946597A provides a method for evaluating the operating status of tap changers based on electromechanical signals. This method collects vibration and drive current signals from the tap changer, performs envelope analysis on the current signals to extract operation duration, impact current, and Delta current, and performs wavelet transform and wavelet packet analysis on the vibration signals to extract singularity index and wavelet packet energy entropy. This achieves mechanical operating status evaluation of tap changers based on fuzzy clustering (FCM) algorithm, providing technical support for online monitoring and fault diagnosis. Meanwhile, Chinese patent CN117783728A discloses a method for extracting electromagnetic pulses from the drive motor current of an on-load tap changer in a transformer. By synchronously recording the drive motor current and vibration signals during tap changer voltage regulation operations, the current signal of the action process is selected with the vibration signal as a reference. The mixed signals are separated using cross-correlation functions and independent component analysis (FastICA), enabling the extraction of electromagnetic pulses related to contact action from the drive motor current. This provides important support for tap changer switching procedure analysis and status evaluation.
[0005] In summary, existing methods for determining the timing of vacuum OLTC contact actions primarily focus on other signals generated during the switching process, mainly vibration signals. These methods are easily affected by sensor positions and complex environments, while neglecting the most direct electrical quantity for determining the timing of actions—the transient current of the contacts during the OLTC switching process.
