Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of transformer insulating oil evaluation technology, specifically a ternary mixed insulating oil configuration evaluation device and evaluation method. Background Technology
[0002] Of the more than 17 million transformers in operation in the power grid, mineral oil transformers account for over 90%. Traditional mineral oil transformers have been used in the power grid for over a century. Their mineral oil-paper insulation systems suffer from poor thermal stability, are prone to aging, and have low ignition / explosion temperatures, severely restricting their safe operation and service life. Therefore, finding effective methods to mitigate aging, extend transformer lifespan, and improve operational safety has always been a challenging research area. Mineral oil and ester oils have good miscibility, and mixed insulating oils prepared from mineral oil and ester oils possess the unique advantage of combining the strengths of both. In the past two decades, more than a dozen countries, including the United States, France, Japan, and Poland, have conducted extensive research on the formulation and performance of binary mixed insulating oils made from mineral oil and ester oils, achieving many valuable results. However, the dielectric loss and kinematic viscosity of various binary mixed insulating oils prepared by different countries are still relatively high, failing to meet the requirements of the current standard IEC60296-2012. Ternary mixed insulating oils (mineral oil, soybean oil, and modified natural esters) significantly delay the thermal aging of oil-paper insulation and improve the power frequency breakdown and surface flashover performance of the liquid-solid oil-paper system. However, research on the optimal performance ratio is currently lacking. Therefore, a ternary mixed insulating oil preparation device and evaluation method are urgently needed to assess the condition of mixed insulating oils with different ratios, thereby selecting an optimal ratio of ternary mixed insulating oil. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A ternary mixed insulating oil configuration evaluation device includes a mineral oil storage device, a soybean oil storage device, a PFAE oil storage device, and a ternary mixed oil storage device. The mineral oil storage device, soybean oil storage device, and PFAE oil storage device are each connected to the ternary mixed oil storage device via a first pipeline. The device also includes a computer, an oil breakdown voltage detection device, an oil dielectric loss detection device, an oil viscosity measurement device, an oil total hydrocarbon gas detection device, and a heating device. The oil breakdown voltage detection device, oil dielectric loss detection device, oil viscosity measurement device, and heating device are each connected to the ternary mixed oil storage device via a second pipeline. The system is connected in phases, with the total hydrocarbon gas detection device in the oil connected to the heating device and the oil breakdown voltage detection device, respectively. The computer is connected to the oil breakdown voltage detection device, the oil dielectric loss detection device, the oil viscosity measurement device, and the total hydrocarbon gas detection device in the oil via a controller. This allows the computer to acquire the breakdown voltage, dielectric loss, and viscosity of the current ternary mixed insulating oil in the storage device, collected by the oil breakdown voltage detection device, the oil dielectric loss detection device, and the oil viscosity measurement device. It also acquires the total hydrocarbon gas content data collected by the oil breakdown voltage detection device, which is used for the evaluation of the current ternary mixed insulating oil.

[0008] Furthermore, the computer is connected to the heating device via a controller.
[0009] A method for evaluating the configuration of ternary mixed insulating oil, employing the aforementioned ternary mixed insulating oil configuration evaluation device, includes the following steps: Step 1: According to the current configuration ratio, control the corresponding crude oil in the mineral oil storage device, soybean oil storage device, and PFAE oil storage device to enter the ternary mixed oil storage device to obtain the current ternary mixed insulating oil. Start the oil breakdown voltage detection device, oil dielectric loss detection device, oil viscosity measurement device, and oil total hydrocarbon gas detection device to record the breakdown voltage, dielectric loss, viscosity, and total hydrocarbon gas content of the current ternary mixed insulating oil in the ternary mixed oil storage device. Step 2: Record the breakdown voltage m of the current ternary mixed insulating oil to form the state quantity A representing the insulation performance of the current ternary mixed insulating oil; record the dielectric loss n of the current ternary mixed insulating oil to form the state quantity B representing the dielectric loss of the current ternary mixed insulating oil; record the viscosity x of the current ternary mixed insulating oil to form the viscosity state quantity C; record the total hydrocarbon content y in the oil after breakdown and the total hydrocarbon content k in the oil after heating to form the stability state quantity D of the current ternary mixed insulating oil. Step 3: Based on the current insulation performance state quantity A, dielectric loss state quantity B, and viscosity state quantity C of the ternary mixed insulating oil, compare the current evaluation coefficient U of the ternary mixed insulating oil with each threshold range, and determine the final state of the current ternary mixed insulating oil based on the comparison results.
[0010] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the evaluation coefficient U is as follows: ;
[0011] The evaluation coefficient U of the current ternary mixed insulating oil is compared with each threshold range. Based on the comparison results, the final state of the current ternary mixed insulating oil is determined. When U < 10, the final state of the current ternary mixed insulating oil is poor; when 10 ≤ U < 20, the final state of the current ternary mixed insulating oil is medium; when 20 ≤ U < 30, the final state of the current ternary mixed insulating oil is good; and when 30 ≤ U, the final state of the current ternary mixed insulating oil is excellent.
[0012] Furthermore, according to Formula 1, the insulating performance state quantity A of the current ternary mixed insulating oil is formed; according to Formula 2, the dielectric loss state quantity B of the current ternary mixed insulating oil is formed; according to Formula 3, the viscosity state quantity C of the current ternary mixed insulating oil is formed; and according to Formula 4, the stability state quantity D of the current ternary mixed insulating oil is formed. ; ; ; .
[0013] Furthermore, in step one, the flow rate of oil from the mineral oil storage device, soybean oil storage device, and PFAE oil storage device is controlled by computer, and different proportions of ternary mixed insulating oil are configured in the ternary mixed oil storage device; the heating device is started, and the temperature is raised to 100~110℃ and maintained for 1~1.5h; the total hydrocarbon gas content in the oil breakdown voltage detection device is detected.
[0014] Furthermore, in step one, the ternary mixed insulating oil in the ternary mixed oil storage device is kept in a stirring state, and the ternary mixed insulating oil of each configuration ratio is stirred for 30~50 minutes and then left to stand for 10~15 minutes.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows: This invention utilizes a computer and controller to regulate the on / off state and status of three types of oil storage devices, enabling automatic real-time configuration of insulating oil. During the configuration process, under the control of the computer and controller, the breakdown voltage, dielectric loss, viscosity, and total hydrocarbon gas content of the mixed oil are detected using an oil breakdown voltage detection device, an oil dielectric loss detection device, an oil viscosity measurement device, and an oil total hydrocarbon gas detection device. This device facilitates the configuration and parameter determination of ternary mixed insulating oil, providing support for subsequent evaluation.
[0016] This invention characterizes the insulation performance state quantity through breakdown voltage, the dielectric loss state quantity through dielectric loss, and the viscosity state quantity through oil viscosity. It also establishes the stable state quantity of the current ternary hybrid insulating oil by analyzing the total hydrocarbon content in the oil after breakdown and the total hydrocarbon content in the oil after heating. Based on these state quantities, evaluation coefficients are derived, thereby achieving a fully scientific ternary hybrid insulating oil state evaluation system. The evaluation method of this invention employs scientific and standardized evaluation methods, avoiding interference from human factors. The evaluation results can more realistically reflect the configuration state of the ternary hybrid insulating oil, solving the problem of not being able to conduct a comprehensive and systematic evaluation of ternary hybrid insulating oils with different proportions.

[0023] Computer 5 controls the on / off time and opening / closing degree of the first valve 12 through the controller, thereby realizing the preparation of ternary mixed insulating oils with different proportions. The proportions of the prepared ternary mixed insulating oils are as follows: mineral oil from 1% to 99%, in 1% increments; soybean oil, under the same mineral oil proportion, from 1% to (100% - mineral oil proportion), in 1% increments; and the remaining proportions are filled with modified natural esters, resulting in a total of 4950 mixed oil proportions.
