Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of outdoor electrical equipment environment control, and particularly relates to an outdoor complete equipment environment intelligent control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Outdoor complete equipment, such as European box-type substations, outdoor switch cabinets, ring network cabinets and the like, is a key node in a power transmission and distribution system, and usually contains precise electrical equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, mutual inductors and the like in the interior. The temperature and humidity of the interior environment directly affect the insulation performance, operation efficiency and service life of the equipment, as the equipment is exposed to a complex and changeable natural environment for a long time. At present, the common environment control method in the technical field has significant deficiencies, mainly embodied in the following aspects: firstly, in the humidity control aspect, the existing method is too extensive. Most systems only monitor a single "relative humidity" parameter and set a fixed threshold to trigger the dehumidification device. However, the direct cause of the equipment surface condensation, insulation decline and even short circuit failure is that the "surface temperature is lower than the dew point temperature". The traditional control method fails to establish a quantitative relationship between relative humidity, environmental temperature and dew point temperature, and cannot make prospective and accurate judgments on the condensation risk. In high humidity weather or large diurnal temperature difference conditions, it is easy to appear "insufficient dehumidification" to cause condensation, or "excessive dehumidification" to cause energy waste; secondly, in the dehumidification strategy aspect, the existing method is too single and low in energy efficiency. A single condensation dehumidification or heating dehumidification method is generally used, and there is a lack of intelligent strategies for dynamic optimization according to indoor and outdoor environmental conditions. For example, when the absolute humidity of outdoor air is lower than that of indoor air, the air exchange dehumidification with lower cost can be used to effectively reduce the humidity, but the existing system often ignores this energy-saving way and directly starts the high-energy consumption condensation or heating module, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption; thirdly, in the temperature control aspect, the existing method has control isolation and safety risks. The existing heat dissipation control mostly only starts or stops the fan or air conditioner according to the internal temperature threshold of the equipment, and fails to link with the outdoor environmental temperature, humidity, smoke and other parameters. This may cause the ventilation and heat dissipation to introduce a large amount of moisture into the cabinet when the outdoor humidity is extremely high, and aggravate the condensation risk; or fail to timely lock the ventilation or upgrade the alarm when an electrical fault hidden danger (such as smoke) occurs, and miss the best opportunity for early warning, which has safety risks.

[0003] Therefore, the present application provides an outdoor complete equipment environment intelligent control method to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0015] Preferably, the intelligent temperature control strategy comprises: Initiating heat dissipation program when the indoor temperature ; Initiating the heat dissipation fan when the outdoor temperature and the outdoor humidity ; If unable to reduce to the safe value within , initiating the auxiliary cooling device; When the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to 35 degrees Celsius, directly start the auxiliary cooling device.

[0016] Preferably, the multi-level intelligent alarm comprises: Temperature grading alarm: when the temperature of the compartment top plate is greater than or equal to 35 degrees Celsius, trigger a danger alarm, when the temperature of the compartment top plate is greater than or equal to 40 degrees Celsius, trigger a high-temperature alarm, and when the temperature of the compartment top plate is greater than or equal to 45 degrees Celsius, trigger an ultrahigh-temperature alarm.

On this basis, the innovative "ventilation dehumidification → condensation dehumidification → heating dehumidification" progressive control strategy realizes real "on-demand dehumidification" by dynamically comparing indoor and outdoor absolute humidity and introducing a water immersion signal locking mechanism, ensuring dehumidification effect while preferentially using natural cold sources (low humidity air), significantly reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the intelligent temperature control strategy breaks the isolation of temperature control, intelligently selects the optimal heat dissipation path (natural ventilation or auxiliary cooling) by linking indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, and smoke concentration, etc. multiple parameters, avoiding the secondary risk of introducing moisture in a high-humidity environment, and realizing fine control of heat dissipation energy consumption.

[0019] ​​​​​​​​The application also has the following beneficial effects: The integrated intelligent alarm mechanism of the application comprehensively considers multiple criteria such as temperature / humidity absolute value, change trend, and dew condensation, smoke, and water immersion state, realizes multi-level early warning from "slight anomaly" to "danger" to "seriousness", greatly improves the accuracy and timeliness of the alarm, facilitates the operation and maintenance personnel to quickly locate the fault level and take corresponding measures. Ultimately, the synergistic effect of the above technical links enables the whole system to stably control the temperature and humidity in the safe range in practical application (such as a European box transformer), completely eliminates the dew condensation phenomenon, and effectively prevents fire through early smoke alarm, thereby reducing the equipment failure rate caused by environmental problems to a very low level, achieving the operation and maintenance goal of energy saving and consumption reduction, and achieving outstanding comprehensive benefits.
