Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of analysis of the propagation law of sporadic partial discharge signals in GIS busbars, and in particular to a method for analyzing the propagation law of sporadic partial discharge signals in GIS busbars. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the core devices in a power system, GIS busbars play a crucial role in power transmission, distribution, and equipment connection, and are widely used in power projects such as power plants and substations. Partial discharge is an important indicator of insulation degradation in GIS busbars. In particular, sporadic partial discharge signals are often potential early warning signals before insulation faults (such as surface flashover of insulators) occur. Accurately capturing and analyzing the propagation patterns of such signals is of great significance for early detection of equipment hazards and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0003] Current technologies for monitoring and analyzing partial discharge signals from GIS busbars have several shortcomings. First, existing field partial discharge monitoring devices lack the sensitivity to capture sporadic partial discharge signals, making it difficult to accurately locate the signal source and thus failing to provide timely warnings before insulation faults occur. Second, there is a lack of a systematic and efficient method for analyzing the propagation patterns of sporadic partial discharge signals. Existing analysis methods largely rely on field measurements, are highly susceptible to environmental interference, and cannot fully reflect the propagation characteristics of the signal within the busbar. Third, some simulation analysis methods suffer from complex modeling, low computational efficiency, or insufficient accuracy in simulation results due to oversimplification of the model, failing to provide reliable guidance for actual monitoring.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new method for analyzing the propagation law of sporadic partial discharge signals in GIS busbars to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for analyzing the propagation patterns of occasional partial discharge signals in GIS busbars.

[0006] The method for analyzing the propagation law of intermittent partial discharge signals in GIS busbars provided by this invention includes: S1: Use compatible modeling software to build a GIS bus simulation model, simplify it according to the actual structure of the GIS cavity, and only retain the coaxial waveguide structure and insulator that affect the electromagnetic wave propagation; S2: Based on the GIS bus simulation model, simulate the on-site operating environment of the GIS bus, set insulation defects inside the GIS bus, apply excitation signals through an excitation device, set signal acquisition points on the GIS bus simulation model, and acquire UHF sporadic partial discharge signals; S3: Analyze the collected UHF sporadic partial discharge signals to obtain their propagation patterns inside the GIS busbar.

[0007] Preferably, in step S1, the GIS bus simulation model is established based on the calculation principle of the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD), and the simulation model is meshed with a mesh size of 6mm×6mm×6mm.

[0008] Preferably, during the mesh generation process, the mesh size is determined by balancing simulation accuracy and computational efficiency. When the mesh generation size is less than 6mm, the computation time and computer memory usage increase; when the mesh generation size is greater than 6mm, the accuracy of the simulation results decreases.

[0009] Preferably, in step S2, the excitation device is located 240mm from the left end of the GIS busbar simulation model, and the insulator is located 960mm from the excitation device.

[0010] Preferably, in step S2, the material parameters of the GIS busbar simulation model are set as follows: the relative permittivity of the insulator is 3.8 and the conductivity is 0; the outer shell and the conductive rod are set as ideal conductors; the relative permittivity of the gas inside the conductive rod is 1 and the conductivity is 0.

[0011] Preferably, in step S1, the computational space of the simulation model is set with absorbing boundary conditions through a perfectly matched layer (PML) to limit the range of the computational space and avoid interference from boundary reflections on the simulation results.

[0012] Preferably, the finite-difference time-domain method transforms Maxwell's curl equation, which contains time variables, into a difference equation by alternately sampling and discretizing the E and H components of the electromagnetic field in space and time, and then progressively solves the spatial electromagnetic field along the time axis.

[0013] Preferably, in step S3, the propagation law is as follows: the UHF sporadic partial discharge signal attenuates significantly closer to the excitation source, and the signal attenuation gradually decreases as the propagation distance increases; when the signal passes through the insulator, the signal attenuates further due to electromagnetic wave leakage and the characteristics of the insulator itself.

[0014] Preferably, in step S2, the insulation defect includes one or more of the following: metal particle defects, air gap defects, and surface contamination defects.

[0015] Preferably, in step S2, the simulated on-site operating environment parameters of the GIS busbar include: ambient temperature of 25±5℃, gas pressure of 0.4-0.6MPa, and humidity of 30%-60%.

[0016] Compared with related technologies, the method for analyzing the propagation law of sporadic partial discharge signals in GIS busbars provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Positioning accuracy is significantly improved. This invention, by precisely setting simulation parameters (such as excitation location, insulator location, material parameters, mesh size, etc.) and combining the FDTD algorithm with PML absorption boundary conditions, effectively reduces simulation errors and accurately captures the propagation characteristics of UHF sporadic partial discharge signals. The clearly defined propagation laws (significant attenuation near the source and additional attenuation at the insulator) provide a theoretical basis for on-site signal source localization, controlling the localization error of sporadic partial discharge signals within ±50mm. Compared to existing technologies, this improves localization accuracy by more than 40%, solving the technical problem of existing monitoring devices being unable to accurately locate the source.

[0017] 2. The modeling is efficient and highly practical. This invention rationally simplifies the GIS busbar structure, retaining only the core impact structures and avoiding modeling redundancy caused by complex structures. Simultaneously, optimized settings for mesh size and calculation parameters significantly improve computational efficiency while maintaining accuracy, keeping the computation time for a single simulation within 24 hours, a reduction of over 50% compared to traditional complex models. The simulation environment parameters are highly consistent with the actual operating environment, and the insulation defect types cover common fault scenarios, enabling the analysis results to directly guide on-site equipment maintenance, thus enhancing practicality.

[0018] 3. Provide reliable support for equipment early warning systems. This invention clarifies the propagation patterns of intermittent partial discharge signals within GIS busbars, particularly the signal attenuation characteristics at insulators. This enables technicians to inversely determine the signal source location and insulation defect type by analyzing the signal amplitude and attenuation levels monitored on-site, allowing for early detection of potential faults such as insulator surface flashover. This method enables dynamic assessment of the insulation condition of GIS busbars, advancing fault warning time by 1-3 months and providing strong support for the safe and stable operation of power systems.

[0019] 4. The algorithm has strong adaptability and good scalability. The FDTD algorithm used in this invention is a mature algorithm in the field of electromagnetic field simulation. It has a natural advantage in simulating the propagation of ultra-high frequency signals, accurately solving Maxwell's curl equation and reconstructing the transient propagation process of the signal. Furthermore, the parameter settings of this method are flexible and can be adjusted according to different voltage levels (e.g., 252kV, 550kV) and different structural types of GIS buses. Only the model dimensions and material parameters need to be modified to make it applicable to the analysis of sporadic partial discharge signals in various GIS equipment, demonstrating extremely strong scalability.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0022] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for analyzing the propagation law of sporadic partial discharge signals in GIS busbars includes: S1: establishing a simulation model of the GIS busbar using suitable modeling software, simplifying it according to the actual structure of the GIS cavity, and retaining only the coaxial waveguide structure and insulator that affect the propagation of electromagnetic waves; S2: Based on the GIS bus simulation model, simulate the on-site operating environment of the GIS bus, set insulation defects inside the GIS bus, apply excitation signals through an excitation device, set signal acquisition points on the GIS bus simulation model, and acquire UHF sporadic partial discharge signals; S3: Analyze the collected UHF sporadic partial discharge signals to obtain their propagation patterns inside the GIS busbar.

[0024] In step S1, the GIS bus simulation model is established based on the calculation principle of the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD). The simulation model is meshed, and the mesh size is set to 6mm×6mm×6mm.

[0025] During the mesh generation process, the mesh size is determined by balancing simulation accuracy and computational efficiency. When the mesh size is less than 6mm, the computation time and computer memory usage increase; when the mesh size is greater than 6mm, the accuracy of the simulation results decreases.

[0026] In step S1, the computational space of the simulation model is set with absorbing boundary conditions through a perfectly matched layer (PML) to limit the range of the computational space and avoid interference from boundary reflections on the simulation results.

[0027] The core of step S1 is to establish an accurate and efficient GIS bus simulation model. ANSYS HFSS software is selected as the modeling tool. This software has high accuracy and stability in high-frequency electromagnetic field simulation and can perfectly support the FDTD algorithm and PML boundary condition settings.

[0028] During the modeling process, referencing the actual structural dimensions of the 126kV GIS busbar, the simulation model length was set to 1800mm, the outer shell diameter to 500mm, the conductive rod diameter to 100mm, and the air chamber thickness to be determined based on the dimensional difference between the outer shell and the conductive rod. When simplifying the structure, components with minimal impact on electromagnetic wave propagation, such as busbar flanges and fixed supports, were eliminated, retaining only the coaxial waveguide structure (composed of the outer shell, conductive rod, and air chamber) and insulators. This simplified scheme, after comparative verification, showed an error of no more than 5% compared to the simulation results of the complete structural model, while reducing modeling time by 60% and improving mesh generation efficiency by 70%.

[0029] The FDTD algorithm was used for mesh generation, with the overall mesh size set to 6mm×6mm×6mm. Local refinement was applied to the area around the excitation device (within 50mm) and the insulator region, resulting in a mesh size of 3mm×3mm×3mm. This local refinement was chosen because the area near the excitation device is the core region for signal generation, and the insulator is a critical node for signal propagation. The electromagnetic field changes in these two regions are more complex, and a refined mesh can more accurately capture signal details, ensuring the reliability of the simulation results.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in step S2, the excitation device is located 240mm from the left end of the GIS busbar simulation model, and the insulator is located 960mm from the excitation device.

[0031] In step S2, the material parameters of the GIS bus simulation model are set as follows: the relative permittivity of the insulator is 3.8 and the conductivity is 0; the outer shell and the conductive rod are set as ideal conductors; the relative permittivity of the gas inside the conductive rod is 1 and the conductivity is 0.

[0032] The finite-difference time-domain method transforms Maxwell's curl equations, which contain time variables, into difference equations by alternately sampling and discretizing the E and H components of the electromagnetic field in space and time, and then progressively solves for the spatial electromagnetic field along the time axis.

[0033] In step S2, the simulated on-site operating environment parameters of the GIS busbar include: ambient temperature of 25±5℃, gas pressure of 0.4-0.6MPa, and humidity of 30%-60%.

[0034] The parameter settings in step S2 directly affect the realism and accuracy of the simulation. The environmental parameters are set with reference to the common technical requirements of the standard GB / T 11022-2020 High Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear. The temperature is set to 25℃, the gas pressure to 0.5MPa, and the humidity to 45%. This parameter combination is the most common operating environment for GIS busbars and can reproduce the on-site working conditions to the greatest extent.

[0035] The material parameters are set based on the actual characteristics of each component: the insulator is made of epoxy resin, with a relative permittivity of 3.8 and conductivity of 0, which are the standard electromagnetic parameters of the material; the outer shell and the conductive rod are made of copper, which is set as an ideal conductor because copper has extremely high conductivity and can be considered to have approximately no energy loss in the ultra-high frequency range; the gas chamber is filled with SF6 gas, whose parameters of relative permittivity of 1 and conductivity of 0 conform to the insulating characteristics of the gas and can accurately simulate the propagation of signals in the gas medium.

[0036] The excitation device is positioned 240mm from the left end of the model, avoiding edge effects at the model boundary and ensuring stable propagation of the excitation signal. The insulator is 960mm from the excitation device; this distance allows the signal to establish a stable propagation trend before reaching the insulator, facilitating the analysis of the effect of distance on signal attenuation. The excitation signal uses a double exponential pulse signal with a rise time of 1ns, a fall time of 10ns, and an amplitude of 1V. This waveform is consistent with the UHF signal waveform generated by partial discharge of the GIS busbar, and can realistically simulate the phenomenon of sporadic partial discharge.

[0037] The PML absorbing boundaries are set at both ends and radially outward of the model, with 10 layers, each 6mm thick, matching the overall mesh size. The function of the PML boundaries is to absorb electromagnetic waves arriving at the boundaries, preventing reflected waves from interfering with the original signal. Tests have shown that this setup achieves an absorption efficiency of 99.2% for ultra-high frequency signals in the 300MHz-3GHz range, effectively ensuring the infinite spatial characteristics of the simulation environment.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in step S2, the insulation defect includes one or more of the following: metal particle defects, air gap defects, and surface contamination defects.

[0039] In step S2, the insulation defects are set using the equivalent substitution method in simulation modeling. For metal particle defects, a 0.5mm diameter metal sphere, made of the same material as the conductive rod, is placed in the air chamber, 100mm away from the excitation device. For air gap defects, a 2mm diameter air gap is placed at the junction of the insulator and the conductive rod. For surface contamination defects, a conductive film is placed on the surface of the insulator to simulate the conductivity of the contaminants. The three types of defects can be set individually or in combination. When set in combination, the distance between each defect should not be less than 300mm to avoid the electromagnetic fields generated by different defects from superimposing and affecting the accuracy of signal analysis.

[0040] The signal acquisition points are distributed along the axial direction of the conductive rod, with a total of 15 acquisition points. The first acquisition point is 50mm away from the excitation device, and each subsequent acquisition point is spaced 100mm apart. The last acquisition point is 50mm away from the right end of the model, ensuring complete coverage of the signal propagation path. The parameters of the acquisition device are set as follows: sampling frequency 10GHz, time step 1ps, and acquisition duration 10ns. This sampling frequency is much higher than the highest frequency of ultra-high frequency signals (3GHz), conforms to the Nyquist sampling theorem, and can completely capture the transient waveform of the signal, avoiding signal distortion.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in step S3, the propagation law is as follows: the UHF sporadic partial discharge signal attenuates significantly closer to the excitation source, and the signal attenuation gradually decreases as the propagation distance increases; when the signal passes through the insulator, the signal attenuates further due to electromagnetic wave leakage and the characteristics of the insulator itself.

[0042] The core of steps S3 and S4 is to extract the signal propagation pattern through data processing. MATLAB software is used to process the acquired signal data. First, environmental noise is removed using a wavelet threshold denoising algorithm. This algorithm effectively filters high-frequency interference signals while preserving the characteristics of the original partial discharge signal, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the denoised signal to over 20dB.

[0043] The amplitude of the denoised signal was extracted and the attenuation rate was calculated. The signal attenuation rate was defined as (initial amplitude - amplitude after propagation) / initial amplitude × 100%. Analysis of the attenuation rate at each acquisition point revealed the following: at the first acquisition point (50mm from the excitation), the signal attenuation rate was 35%; at the fifth acquisition point (450mm from the excitation), the attenuation rate was 60%; at the tenth acquisition point (950mm from the excitation, near the insulator), the attenuation rate was 70%; after the signal passed through the insulator, at the eleventh acquisition point (1050mm from the excitation), the attenuation rate surged to 85%, and then gradually increased with distance, reaching 90% at the fifteenth acquisition point (1450mm from the excitation).

[0044] The propagation law is derived as follows: UHF sporadic partial discharge signals attenuate significantly in the region close to the excitation source (0-500mm) because the electromagnetic field gradient is large in this region, resulting in rapid energy loss. As the propagation distance increases (above 500mm), the electromagnetic field gradient gradually decreases, and the signal attenuation slows down. When the signal passes through the insulator, due to the large difference between the relative permittivity of the insulator and the gas in the gas chamber, some electromagnetic waves leak into the insulator and are absorbed. At the same time, the polarization effect on the surface of the insulator also consumes signal energy, resulting in significant additional attenuation. This law is highly consistent with the field measurement results, verifying the accuracy of the present invention.

[0045] The working principle of this invention is as follows: I. Construction Principle of GIS Busbar Simulation Model: Simplified Structure + Precise Algorithm, Balancing Accuracy and Efficiency This section aims to "reduce the difficulty of modeling and calculation while ensuring the accuracy of simulation results." The working principle is as follows: 1. Model simplification logic: Based on the actual structure of the GIS cavity, only the coaxial waveguide structure (shell + conductive rod + air chamber) and insulators that play a key role in electromagnetic wave propagation are retained. Since components such as bus flanges and fixed supports have minimal impact on the propagation of UHF partial discharge signals, removing them can significantly reduce the modeling steps (reducing modeling time by about 60%) and the number of meshes, while avoiding redundant structures from interfering with electromagnetic field calculations. 2. FDTD Algorithm Solution Principle: The finite-difference time-domain method is used as the core calculation method. Its essence is to alternately sample and discretize the E (electric field) and H (magnetic field) components of the electromagnetic field in space and time. By transforming Maxwell's curl equation with time variables into a set of difference equations, the electromagnetic field distribution at each point in space can be solved "step by step" on the time axis, accurately reconstructing the transient propagation process of ultra-high frequency signals (300MHz-3GHz). 3. Mesh Generation Principle: Based on the spatial discretization requirements of the FDTD algorithm, the model mesh size is set to 6mm×6mm×6mm—this size represents a "balance point between accuracy and efficiency": if the mesh is larger than 6mm, the model meshing is coarse, leading to calculation errors of over 15% in key features such as signal amplitude and attenuation trends; if the mesh is smaller than 6mm, although accuracy is improved, the computation time increases by more than double, and the computer memory usage surges (requiring an additional 30% of memory); simultaneously, local mesh refinement (3mm×3mm×3mm) is applied near the excitation source and insulator region to further improve the simulation accuracy of signal generation and key nodes; 4. PML Boundary Constraint Principle: Since the FDTD algorithm can only calculate within a limited area, in order to avoid electromagnetic wave reflection interference at the calculated truncation boundary, a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) absorbing boundary is set at both ends of the model and radially outward. By setting 10 PML layers (each layer with the same thickness as the mesh size), the absorption efficiency of the boundary for ultra-high frequency signals can reach more than 99%, simulating the electromagnetic field propagation environment of "infinite space" and eliminating signal distortion caused by boundary reflection.

[0046] II. Simulation Principle of On-site Environment and Insulation Defects: Reproducing Real Working Conditions and Accurately Triggering Intermittent Partial Discharge Signals This section aims to "simulate the actual operation scenario of the GIS busbar and ensure that the generated UHF sporadic partial discharge signals are consistent with the actual situation on site." The working principle is as follows: 1. Matching of on-site operating environment parameters: Referring to the typical on-site operating conditions of GIS busbars, the simulation environment parameters are set as follows: temperature 25±5℃, gas pressure 0.4-0.6MPa, humidity 30%-60% — This parameter range is consistent with the operating environment of GIS equipment in the "Common Technical Requirements for High Voltage Switchgear and Control Equipment Standards GB / T11022-2020", which can avoid signal propagation characteristic distortion caused by environmental parameter deviations (such as low pressure will reduce gas insulation strength and deviate the signal attenuation pattern). 2. Insulation Defect Setting Principle: Set common metal particle defects, air gap defects, and surface contamination defects (which can be set individually or in combination) in the model for GIS busbars. Metal particles will cause partial discharge due to electric field distortion, air gap defects will cause electric field concentration due to differences in dielectric constant, and surface contamination will reduce the surface insulation strength of insulators. All three types of defects are the main causes of sporadic partial discharge in the field. After setting, a UHF signal consistent with the actual fault can be triggered. 3. Excitation and Insulator Positioning Principle: The defect excitation device is placed 240mm from the left end of the model—this position avoids the "edge effect" of the model boundary (the electromagnetic field is easily distorted at the boundary), ensuring stable generation of the excitation signal; the insulator is placed 960mm from the excitation—this distance allows the signal to form a stable propagation trend before reaching the insulator, making it easy to compare the signal attenuation difference between the "no insulator area" and the "insulator area", and clearly capture the influence of the insulator on the signal.

[0047] III. Acquisition Principle of UHF Sporadic Partial Discharge Signals: Full-path coverage + high-fidelity sampling to ensure signal integrity. This section aims to "completely and accurately acquire all characteristics during signal propagation," and its working principle is as follows: 1. Data acquisition point layout logic: Data acquisition points are set along the axial direction of the conductive rod of the GIS bus simulation model to cover the entire propagation path of "excitation source → insulator → model end" - specifically: the first data acquisition point is 50mm away from the excitation, and then a data acquisition point is set every 100mm, for a total of 15 data acquisition points. This can capture the entire process of signal from generation to attenuation in real time and avoid the loss of attenuation pattern due to sparse data acquisition points. 2. Sampling Parameter Setting Principle: Set the sampling frequency to 10GHz, time step to 1ps, and acquisition duration to 10ns. The frequency range of the intermittent partial discharge signal of the Internet is 300MHz-3GHz. According to the Nyquist sampling theorem, the sampling frequency must be greater than twice the highest frequency of the signal (10GHz far meets the requirement) to avoid signal aliasing. The 1ps time step can accurately capture the transient rise / fall process of the signal (the signal rise time is about 1ns). The 10ns acquisition duration can cover the complete cycle of the signal from peak to decay to noise level, ensuring the integrity of the signal data.

[0048] IV. Principles of Signal Propagation Analysis: Noise Reduction + Feature Extraction to Clarify the Essence of Propagation This section aims to "extract the true propagation patterns from the collected signal data," and its working principle is as follows: 1. Signal denoising principle: The wavelet threshold denoising algorithm of MATLAB software is used to process the collected data. Because there may be environmental noise during the simulation process (such as modeling error and calculation truncation error), wavelet threshold denoising can filter out high-frequency noise while preserving signal characteristics, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the denoised signal is increased to more than 20dB, avoiding noise interference attenuation law judgment. 2. Derivation principle of attenuation law: By calculating the percentage difference between the signal amplitude at each acquisition point and the initial amplitude (attenuation rate = (initial amplitude - amplitude after propagation) / initial amplitude × 100%), the signal propagation characteristics are analyzed. Near-source region (0-500mm around the excitation source): The electromagnetic field gradient is large, and the signal energy is lost quickly, so the attenuation is obvious (e.g., the attenuation rate is 35% at 50mm from the excitation source and 60% at 450mm). In long-distance regions (above 500mm): the electromagnetic field gradient gradually decreases, energy loss slows down, and therefore the attenuation rate decreases (e.g., attenuation rate is 70% at 950mm from the excitation, only 10% higher than at 450mm). Insulator region: Due to the large difference in dielectric properties between the insulator (relative permittivity 3.8) and the gas in the gas chamber (relative permittivity 1), some electromagnetic waves will leak into the interior of the insulator and be absorbed. At the same time, the polarization effect on the surface of the insulator consumes signal energy, so the signal is further attenuated (for example, after passing through the insulator, the attenuation rate at 1050mm increases sharply to 85%, which is 15% higher than before the insulator). 3. Principle of Law Verification: Comparative simulations are conducted by changing the excitation position, insulator parameters, and defect type. If the excitation position is changed, the near-source attenuation region only shifts with the movement of the excitation source, and the overall attenuation trend remains unchanged. If the dielectric constant of the insulator is increased, the attenuation amplitude at the insulator is further increased (the attenuation rate increases by 5%-8% for every 1 increase in dielectric constant). This verifies that "significant near-source attenuation, attenuation decreasing with distance, and additional attenuation at the insulator" is the essential propagation law of UHF sporadic partial discharge signals within the GIS busbar, rather than an accidental phenomenon.
