Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of insulation condition monitoring of DC systems in substations, and specifically to a multi-frequency detection method for ground capacitance of DC systems in substations based on a frequency conversion bridge. Background Technology
[0002] The DC system of a substation is the "lifeline" ensuring the reliable operation of circuit breakers and relay protection devices, and its insulation condition directly affects the safe and stable operation of the power grid. With the continuous development of power systems, substations are expanding in scale, and the length of cables laid within them is also increasing significantly. The capacitance to ground of long DC cables increases significantly with length (also known as the "capacitive rise effect of long DC cables"), thus generating a significant capacitive current during insulation testing, becoming a key factor affecting the accuracy of DC system insulation testing.
[0003] Specifically, in the insulation testing of current substation DC systems, traditional methods such as the bridge method or low-frequency signal injection are commonly used. However, the capacitive current of long cables can mask the true insulation leakage current, leading to inaccurate insulation resistance measurements and even missed or false detections. It is particularly important to note that the capacitive rise effect of long DC cables can also cause relay failures, delayed switching changes, and circuit breaker malfunctions, resulting in relay protection control function failures. Furthermore, during long-term operation, substation DC system cables are subjected to a combination of electrical, thermal, and environmental stresses. When moisture or early degradation occurs, their capacitance to ground changes significantly, serving as a health indicator for assessing early cable degradation. Therefore, accurate online measurement of the distributed capacitance to ground parameters of long substation DC system cables provides crucial information for accurately assessing the insulation status of the DC system and ensuring its safe and reliable operation.
[0004] For example, domestic invention patent application CN115524561A discloses an online monitoring method and device for the distributed capacitance to ground of a DC system. It adopts a "single-frequency resistor switching" detection logic, which calculates the capacitance by periodically switching on a negative detection resistor with a fixed resistance value and relying on the voltage fluctuation caused by the disturbance of this single resistor. However, this device relies on the single-frequency disturbance generated by switching on a single resistor. On the one hand, if monitoring is required for different types of cables such as long cables and short cables, different resistance values need to be switched on repeatedly and the detection process needs to be started multiple times, which cannot achieve efficient adaptation. On the other hand, the single-frequency disturbance can only cover a narrow frequency range and cannot match the different capacitance characteristics of long cables and short cables. This directly leads to the problem that the capacitance measurement accuracy of long cables is difficult to meet the standard and that short cables are prone to missed capacitance detection in practical applications.
[0005] For example, the domestic utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN219417640U discloses an insulation monitoring device that also has a capacitance detection function. When detecting branch capacitance and total system capacitance, it is necessary to perform the detection in stages. It is not possible to inject multiple frequency band signals at one time to simultaneously complete the detection of the two types of capacitance. The two types of detection need to be carried out in stages: branch capacitance detection requires the use of a bridge circuit module and an AC current transformer to complete the detection, while total system capacitance detection requires the use of a bridge circuit module and an ultra-low frequency current transformer to complete the detection. Since the two have different detection frequencies, they must be started and the detection process must be executed independently in stages.
[0006] In summary, existing insulation testing methods for DC systems in substations all have significant limitations. In particular, the single-frequency resistance switching method requires repeated operation to adapt to different cables, and suffers from significant issues with measurement accuracy and missed detections. The multi-stage testing device cannot simultaneously complete capacitance monitoring, resulting in low efficiency. Traditional methods such as the low-frequency signal injection method are susceptible to interference and have long testing cycles, while the dielectric response method also suffers from weak anti-interference, high cost, and difficulty in real-time monitoring.

[0040] Complementary modulation anti-disturbance: The switching transistor is driven by a complementary modulation multi-frequency signal, so that the DC positive and negative bus voltages to ground maintain independent and complementary variation characteristics; when injecting multi-frequency signals, the disturbance to the original DC bus voltage is reduced, which solves the problem of the traditional bridge method affecting the system stability due to voltage fluctuations, ensures the normal operation of the substation DC system during the detection process, and prevents device malfunction.
[0041] Multi-band detection is adopted: multi-band data acquisition and detection are performed, and the capacitance to ground is solved by fitting the multi-band data of the acquired and detected signals. This significantly reduces the dependence on accurate measurement of impedance angle and effectively avoids the problems of false high measurement and missed detection caused by capacitor current masking leakage current in traditional methods.

[0094] 4. If the capacitance to ground C x If the resistance to ground is normal but exceeds the standard, it is determined that the dielectric properties of the insulation layer have deteriorated, and monitoring needs to be strengthened.
[0095] It should be noted that since this application calculates the capacitance to ground and has obtained the reconstructed voltage and current, the resistance to ground can be obtained by calculating the real part of the impedance Z. The calculation process of the resistance to ground is a conventional technical means that can be made by those skilled in the art based on the content described in this application.

Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0097] In the following embodiment, according to the "QCSG1203003 Technical Specification for DC Power Supply Systems in Substations," the normal range of the ground capacitance of the DC bus in a substation is generally 0-300μF. Considering that a substation's electrical cabinet has over 50 connection points, the ground capacitance for each branch of the DC bus is selected as 0.02μF. However, under adverse conditions such as rain or humidity, the ground capacitance can increase significantly, sometimes reaching more than twice the normal value. Therefore, a ground capacitance range of 0.02μF-0.18μF is chosen, covering both normal operating conditions and extreme degradation scenarios, which aligns with actual operating characteristics. In summary, the ground resistance range is selected as 10kΩ-100kΩ, and the ground capacitance range is selected as 0.02μF-0.18μF.
