TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high-voltage direct current transmission systems, in particular to a method and device for simulating corrosion and fouling of a converter valve cooling water system. BACKGROUND
[0002] A converter valve is one of the core devices in a high-voltage direct current transmission system (HVDC), and plays a key role in converting between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). A valve module, as a basic electrical unit of the converter valve, is composed of a plurality of thyristors. Generally, a large amount of heat is generated by the thyristor conduction current (3000-5000 A) during actual operation, and a special internal cooling water system must be provided to cool the thyristors so that the operating junction temperature of the thyristors is maintained within a normal range. The internal cooling water system of the converter valve, as one of the most important auxiliary systems of the converter valve, plays a role in ensuring the safe operation of the device.
[0003] The core component of the internal cooling water system of the converter valve is an aluminum radiator, which directly contacts the thyristor and conducts heat to the cooling water circuit. Maintaining the high efficiency and stable working state of the radiator is of great significance to ensuring the normal operation of the internal thermal management system of the converter valve, improving the stability of the system, and prolonging the service life of the electrical equipment. However, the high-voltage environment generated during the actual operation of the converter valve acts on the radiator, and a leakage current is generated through the internal cooling water circuit. This leakage current can easily cause metal corrosion and fouling.
[0004] The hazards of radiator leakage current corrosion are as follows: 1. The leakage current can directly cause electrochemical corrosion of the metal and rubber seal ring (such as corrosion of the stainless steel ring in the main water circuit and pitting corrosion on the surface of the radiator, and aging of the rubber seal ring, which leads to failure of the rubber seal ring), thereby causing a water leakage accident and leading to system shutdown.
[0005] 2. The leakage current corrosion causes metal corrosion ions to enter the internal cooling water system, which is the cause of the fouling of the voltage equalizing electrode. The shedding of the rod-shaped fouling on the surface of the voltage equalizing electrode can cause waterway blockage, leading to poor heat dissipation of the electrical components and causing damage to them, and even triggering the valve temperature protection to cause the converter valve to shut down.
[0006] 3. The fouling adsorbed on the surface of the electrode is in a high resistance state, which causes the voltage equalizing electrode to lose its equalizing ability, and the uneven electric field in the water circuit and on the surface of the electrode will further exacerbate the corrosion of the radiator and the rubber seal ring, which can easily cause a water leakage accident and lead to system shutdown.
[0007] The existing Chinese patent application CN111948128A discloses a converter valve internal cooling water system radiator corrosion test platform, which comprises a cooling water driving and detection module, a cooling and heat dissipation module, a power supply voltage division module, and pipelines and lines for connecting the modules. The cooling water driving and detection module is used to supply circulating water to the cooling and heat dissipation module and can detect and control the water quality parameters of the circulating water. The cooling water driving and detection module is also provided with a deionization branch. The cooling and heat dissipation module comprises n aluminum radiators, a single transparent simulation radiator, a plurality of voltage equalizing electrodes, and a plurality of water pressure gauges connected by pipelines, and n is a positive integer greater than 1. The n aluminum radiators and the single transparent simulation radiator are connected in parallel. A voltage equalizing electrode is installed on the inlet and outlet water branch flow of the two outermost aluminum radiators. The power supply voltage division module comprises a resistor, a high-voltage test power supply, and an ammeter. The voltage division circuit is composed of a plurality of megohm resistors connected in series, and the two ends are connected to the high-voltage test power supply and the ground, respectively. Different nodes on the voltage division circuit are connected to the n aluminum radiators and the voltage equalizing electrodes through wires, and an ammeter is provided on each connection line. By studying the corrosion morphology and corrosion efficiency of the radiator under different working conditions, the corrosion mechanism of the radiator is revealed, and the corrosion trend of the radiator under certain working conditions is predicted. However, this test platform only considers the corrosion problem and cannot simulate the real situation of the converter valve internal cooling water system radiator. There are also deficiencies in the test efficiency.
[0008] The corrosion and fouling problems of the converter valve cooling water system radiator directly threaten the safe and stable operation of the power grid, and the existing test methods cannot meet the needs of precise simulation of real working conditions, fast experimental speed, and technical optimization.

[0029] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a simulation test device for corrosion and scaling in a converter valve cooling water system, comprising: The radiator assembly 2 includes multiple aluminum radiators connected in parallel. Each aluminum radiator is connected in series with a water-cooled resistor 1 and then connected to a branch water circuit to form a parallel cooling structure that simulates the internal cooling water system of the converter valve. A closed loop is formed by connecting the radiator assembly 2, the sampling and measurement cell 9, the water pump 10, the liquid flow meter 11, and the tubular heater 13. The sampling and measurement cell 9 is equipped with a pH meter, conductivity meter, and dissolved oxygen meter to monitor the water quality parameters of the circulating cooling water online or offline. A DC high-voltage power supply module adopts a bridge-type resistance voltage dividing circuit to distribute the output voltage of a high-voltage DC power supply to both ends of a radiator assembly 2, and applies an electric field through platinum needle-shaped voltage equalizing electrodes 4, 5, 6, 7 to simulate the leakage current path in actual operation. A water quality control module adjusts the concentration of scale-forming ions by adding an aluminum ion-containing solution to the closed loop, and adjusts the conductivity in combination with a deionization resin tank 12 to achieve accelerated simulation of the scaling process under different acid-base environments.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the closed loop water system is connected by polyvinyl chloride or fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer pipe fittings.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the aluminum radiator material is 6063 aluminum alloy, and the number is 6 pieces. Each aluminum radiator is connected to a soft FEP branch water pipe through an FEP hard nozzle.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the voltage equalizing electrodes 4, 5, 6, 7 are two pairs of platinum needle electrodes installed at both ends of the manifold, and are electrically connected to the corresponding position of the aluminum radiator, so that the potential is consistent with the adjacent aluminum radiator.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of ammeters 3 are provided to monitor the leakage current flowing into / out of the radiator and the voltage equalizing electrodes 4, 5, 6, 7 in real time.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the water quality control module includes: A deionization resin tank 12 is connected to the closed loop water system through a bypass for reducing the conductivity of the circulating water to 0.5 μS·cm -1 The following; A chemical reagent injection unit is used to add AlCl3 solution, NaAl(OH)4 solution or aluminum hydroxide colloid to the closed loop water system to achieve an initial aluminum ion concentration of 2.5 mg·L -1 , to achieve accelerated simulation of the scaling process.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the sampling and measuring pool 9 is a transparent organic glass container with a sealing cover on the top, integrated with pH electrodes, conductivity electrodes and dissolved oxygen electrodes to support continuous dynamic monitoring of water quality changes.
[0036] The water cooling system simulation test device in the converter valve provided by the embodiment comprises a radiator assembly 2, a sampling and measuring pool 9, a deionization resin tank 12, a water pump 10, a liquid flow meter 11, a tubular heater 13 and other elements connected by polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe fittings to form a closed circulation loop. In addition, it also comprises water pressure gauges, ammeters 3, pH meters, conductivity meters, dissolved oxygen meters and other measuring instruments, and components such as a resistive voltage divider bridge circuit and a direct current power supply to provide direct current high voltage.
[0037] Specifically, the basic component unit of the radiator module comprises an aluminum radiator, a water-cooled resistor 1, equalizing electrodes 4, 5, 6 and 7, and a main and branch water pipe, etc. The main material of the aluminum radiator is 6063 aluminum alloy, and a total of 6 pieces are installed. On the water circuit, each radiator is connected in series with the water-cooled resistor 1 and then connected in communication with the branch water circuit through a hard FEP nozzle, and the radiators are connected in parallel. The simulation parallel cooling circuit is composed of two parts of the main pipe and the branch pipe, and the pipe material, specification and communication mode are consistent with the actual engineering situation: the main water pipe is made of PVDF material with high mechanical strength and high corrosion resistance, and a total of 2 are installed; the branch water pipe is made of soft FEP material. After the main water pipe is connected with the branch water pipe by the FEP hard nozzle, it is connected in communication with the external driving water circuit through a PVC flange. Consistent with the actual engineering, in the parallel cooling simulation system, two pairs of platinum needle-shaped equalizing electrodes E1-E4 are installed at the ends of the main water pipe, and are connected in circuit with the radiators at the two ends to make the potentials of the two radiators always the same.
[0038] The test device is also equipped with a stainless steel test water pump 10, the impeller and other metal parts of which have high corrosion resistance, meeting the needs of simulation fouling test and scale inhibition test. The water inlet and outlet flow of the pump is controlled by a valve, and monitored by a liquid flowmeter 11. The simulated parallel cooling system uses a ±40 kV / 20 mA high-voltage direct current power supply 8 as the test power supply, and a bridge-type resistance voltage dividing circuit is used to distribute the voltage to each radiator. A1-A8 are ammeters 3 fixedly installed on the test platform, which monitor the leakage current of the cooling water flowing into / out of the platinum needle electrode and each radiator. The simulation test platform is installed in the circulating loop in the form of a bypass and is provided with a deionization resin tank 12 before the tank. The use of the deionization resin tank 12 can conveniently reduce the electrical conductivity of the circulating water to the required level. Generally, opening the deionization resin loop for ten minutes can remove most of the ions in the water, so that the electrical conductivity of the circulating water is reduced to below 0.5 μS·cm-1. In the main water pipe, a tubular heater 13 is installed to heat the water in the radiator to the working condition. The device is provided with a water quality measuring tank, which is a tank-shaped container made of transparent organic glass, provided with an organic glass top cover, and sealed by a sealing ring and a fastener. The top cover of the measuring tank is fixedly installed with the measuring electrodes of the conductivity meter, pH meter and dissolved oxygen meter, which can realize online / offline measurement of water quality parameters such as electrical conductivity, pH value and dissolved oxygen content.
[0039] Since the corrosion rate of aluminum radiator is slow under normal pressure conditions, under the condition that 2 kV voltage is applied to the adjacent radiators in the simulation corrosion platform, the concentration of aluminum ions in the water is detected to be 60 μg·L-1 after one month. This concentration is too low to conduct the fouling test, so it is necessary to supplement a sufficient amount of scale-forming ions into the circulating water to accelerate the test.
[0040] As shown in Figure 2 , the simulation method of the above simulation test device comprises: Building a closed circulating water system and filling it with deionized water; Starting the water pump 10 to make the cooling water circulate and adjusting the flow rate through the liquid flowmeter 11; Raising the water temperature to 24-26℃ by using the tubular heater 13; Treating the circulating water by using the deionization resin tank 12 to reduce the electrical conductivity to 0.5 μS·cm -1 below; Selecting the type of chemical reagent according to the target test environment, adding AlCl3 solution under weak acid conditions, adding NaAl(OH)4 solution under weak alkaline conditions, and adding aluminum hydroxide colloid formed by mixing equal volumes of NaAl(OH)4 and dilute hydrochloric acid under neutral conditions to adjust the aluminum ion concentration in the circulating water to about 2.5 mg·L -1 ; The high-voltage direct current power supply is turned on, and a voltage is applied to each radiator through a bridge-type resistance dividing circuit, and an electric field is established through the platinum voltage equalizing electrodes (4, 5, 6, 7) to induce a leakage current; The test is continuously run for at least 336 hours, during which the leakage current is monitored by ammeter 3, and the pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen are regularly detected by sampling measurement pool 9; After the test is completed, the voltage equalizing electrodes (4, 5, 6, 7) are taken out, and the surface fouling morphology and composition are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction or laser confocal microscopy to evaluate the fouling characteristics under different water quality conditions.
[0041] In the preferred embodiment of the method, under weakly acidic conditions, the cathode-type voltage equalizing electrodes (4, 5, 6, 7) in the low potential area show obvious fouling on the surface, and the thickness of the fouling on the cathode surface facing the high potential anode electrode is greater than that on the anode surface.
[0042] The specific test process of this embodiment is as follows: Before the test starts, a certain amount of solution containing a higher concentration of aluminum ions is added to the circulating water to raise the concentration of scale-forming ions in the water to a higher level, so that more obvious fouling can be observed and more fouling can be observed and analyzed.
[0043] The chemical reagents used for dripping are selected according to the pH value of the water quality. In the weakly acidic environment fouling test, AlCl3 solution is selected; in the weakly alkaline environment fouling test, NaAl(OH)4 solution is selected; in the neutral environment fouling test, the same concentration of NaAl(OH)4 solution and dilute hydrochloric acid are mixed in a ratio of 1:1 to obtain an approximately neutral aluminum hydroxide colloid for dripping. The principle of dripping is to calculate the total concentration of Al(III) used and the total water volume of the platform so that the concentration of aluminum ions in the circulating water after dripping is approximately 2.5 mg·L-1 (about 1000 times the actual in-valve cooling system).
[0044] The initial water quality parameters of the circulating water in the three groups of tests are shown in Table 1.
[0045] Table 1 Initial water quality parameters of acidic, alkaline and neutral circulating water The test results are as follows Figure 3 For weakly acidic environment, obvious fouling is observed on the surface of the electrodes at low potential, i.e. cathode electrodes E3 and E4, and there is a certain difference in the degree of fouling between the cathode surface (i.e. the surface opposite to the anode electrode (E1, E2) in the same manifold) and the anode surface (the other surface): the thickness of the fouling on the cathode surface is slightly greater than that on the anode surface, which may be caused by the greater current on the cathode surface than on the anode surface.
[0046] Six 6063 aluminum heat sinks were arranged in parallel and connected in series with water-cooled resistors to form the cooling loop, which truly reproduced the electrical-thermal coupling relationship between the thyristor heating unit and the cooling system in the converter valve module. The water-cooled resistors simulated the heating characteristics of the thyristor in the on-state, making the heat sinks produce consistent thermal stress distribution in operation; while the parallel pipeline structure (PVDF main pipe + FEP branch pipe) reproduced the fluid mechanics characteristics of uneven flow distribution and local flow stagnation in the engineering, providing a physical basis for studying the corrosion and deposition differences in different flow rate areas. This design ensures the high engineering equivalence of the thermal field and the flow field, and improves the extrapolation value of the test results. Using ±40 kV high-voltage direct current power supply combined with bridge-type resistance voltage division network, the voltage across each heat sink can be accurately controlled to simulate the potential gradient distribution at different positions of the converter valve in the blocking state. Two pairs of platinum needle-shaped voltage grading electrodes (E1-E4) are installed at both ends of the main water pipe and connected to the corresponding heat sinks through the circuit to ensure synchronous change of their potential, which truly reproduces the function of guiding the electric field and suppressing partial discharge of the on-site voltage grading electrode in the high-voltage environment. More importantly, this structure forms a leakage current path from high potential to low potential, driving metal ions (such as Al 3+ ) to migrate directionally under the action of the electric field and deposit in the cathode area, thereby triggering the fouling reaction. This design first realizes the closed-loop simulation of the whole process of "potential distribution-leakage current-ion migration-local deposition" at the laboratory scale. The deionized resin tank is connected to the main circulating loop through a bypass, which can reduce the electrical conductivity of the circulating water to 0.5 μS·cm -1 The following simulates the ultra-low conductivity environment in the actual valve cooling water system to avoid interference of impurity ions with the electrochemical process. On this basis, by quantitatively adding AlCl3, NaAl(OH)4 or aluminum hydroxide colloid to the system, the concentration of aluminum ions in the water is artificially increased to about 2.5 mg·L -1(about 1000 times of the concentration of natural corrosion release), significantly accelerated the generation rate of electrochemical corrosion products and the fouling kinetics process. This "background purification + fouling enhancement" strategy not only ensures the purity of the test environment, but also realizes the accelerated appearance of the fouling phenomenon, solves the problem of long test period and insufficient data caused by slow corrosion in traditional methods, and greatly improves the research efficiency. The sampling and measuring pool integrates a pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen three-in-one sensor, supporting continuous dynamic monitoring of key water quality parameters of cooling water, real-time capture of local pH changes (such as cathode zone alkalization and anode zone acidification) and dissolved oxygen consumption trend caused by electrochemical reaction, and revealing the chemical driving force of fouling occurrence. At the same time, 8 ammeters (A1~A8) monitor the leakage current of each radiator and the equalizing electrode, respectively, to construct a leakage current distribution map for analyzing the influence of uneven electric field on corrosion rate. The multi-dimensional sensing system provides data support for establishing a dynamic correlation model between "voltage → current → ion release → water quality change → fouling formation", enhancing the scientificity and interpretability of the test. The tubular heater stably controls the circulating water temperature at 24~26℃, close to the actual operating temperature of the converter valve, avoiding the interference of temperature fluctuations on the corrosion rate and the form of fouling; the liquid flow meter cooperates with the water pump to adjust the flow rate, simulating the flow state of cooling water under different working conditions. The research shows that the low flow rate area is more prone to particle deposition and local corrosion, so this module can study the influence of flow rate on the location and density of fouling, and identify the "high-risk area of fouling" in the system. The platform reserves a sampling port and electrode dismounting structure, which facilitates laboratory characterization of the fouling on the surface of the equalizing electrode after the test, such as SEM, XRD, EDS, etc., to determine the phase composition (such as Al(OH)3, Al2O3·nH2O, etc.), micro-morphology and spatial distribution of the fouling. Combined with comparative analysis under different pH conditions, the influence of acid and alkali environment on the crystal form and deposition mechanism of aluminum-based fouling can be revealed, providing a theoretical basis for optimizing water quality control strategies (such as pH control range, corrosion inhibitor addition).
[0047] Example 2 In the converter valve cooling water system corrosion and fouling simulation test device provided in this example, the direct current high-voltage power supply module uses a ±40kV / 20mA high-voltage direct current power supply, which cooperates with a bridge-type resistance voltage dividing circuit to realize voltage distribution among the aluminum radiators.
