Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system condition monitoring technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for online monitoring of distribution feeder voltage transformers based on phasor measurement. Background Technology

[0002] Voltage transformers (VTs or PTs) are crucial primary measuring devices in power distribution networks. Their function is to reduce high voltage in the distribution network to a lower voltage suitable for measuring instruments and relay protection devices according to a specific transformation ratio. The accuracy of voltage transformer measurements directly affects various aspects, including electricity metering, electricity billing, the reliability of relay protection operations, power system condition monitoring, and control decisions. Therefore, they are a vital foundation for ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0003] With the increasing automation of distribution networks and the continuous advancement of smart grid construction, the requirements for the measurement accuracy and operational reliability of voltage transformers in distribution networks are becoming increasingly stringent. However, during long-term operation, voltage transformers are affected by various factors such as ambient temperature, humidity, load changes, equipment aging, and insulation deterioration. Their measurement errors may gradually increase or even exceed the allowable range, leading to measurement inaccuracies. In severe cases, this can cause metering disputes, protection malfunctions or failures to operate, and deviations in state estimation results, posing potential threats to the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0004] Traditional methods for detecting voltage transformer errors primarily rely on periodic offline calibration. This involves periodically shutting down the operating voltage transformers according to regulations and performing on-site comparison measurements using standard transformers or transformer calibrators. While this method is technically mature, it suffers from the following significant drawbacks:

[0005] 1. It requires power outages for work, which affects the reliability of power supply, and the detection cycle is long, making it difficult to detect equipment abnormalities in a timely manner;

[0006] 2. The transportation, installation, and calibration of standard instrument transformers are complex and costly.

[0007] 3. It cannot achieve real-time monitoring of equipment operating status, and cannot meet the requirements of smart distribution networks for equipment status perception;

[0008] 4. The operating conditions during offline testing differ from actual operating conditions, resulting in limited representativeness of the test results.

[0009] In recent years, with the gradual application of phasor measurement unit (PMU) technology in power distribution networks, a new technical approach has been provided for the online monitoring of voltage transformers. However, the core challenge in using PMU data for voltage transformer error monitoring is the lack of a reliable reference voltage standard.

[0010] In the existing technology, researchers have proposed some solutions, but they all have obvious shortcomings: the method based on the voltage conversion of the high voltage side of the main transformer requires the accurate transformation ratio parameters of the transformer and is affected by load loss; the anomaly detection method based on state estimation has high requirements for data redundancy and it is difficult to quantify the specific transformer error value.

[0011] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can establish a virtual reference voltage using the distribution network's own measurement data under actual operating conditions, without relying on external standard equipment, and thus realize online monitoring of voltage transformer operating errors.

This invention establishes a voltage transformer error criterion: when... or If the error exceeds the threshold for N consecutive measurement cycles (N is typically 3-5), the voltage transformer is confirmed to be faulty and an alarm is issued. The ratio error threshold is determined based on the accuracy class of the current transformer, and is generally taken as 0.2%-1.0%. The phase error threshold is typically set between 10 and 40 points. For example... Figure 6 As shown.

[0136]

[0137] when If the virtual reference voltage is accurate, it is considered reliable; otherwise, the line parameters need to be rechecked or the measurement data quality of nearby nodes needs to be checked. Dynamic accuracy assessment can improve the self-diagnostic capability of the monitoring system and avoid misjudgments caused by inaccurate reference voltage.

[0138] This invention provides a method for establishing a virtual reference voltage based on distribution network phasor measurement, comprising the following steps: deploying phasor measurement units at key nodes of the distribution network to collect voltage and current phasors in real time; identifying neighboring measurement nodes of the node to be monitored; identifying line impedance parameters; calculating the virtual reference voltage based on Kirchhoff's voltage law; comparing the measured voltage with the reference voltage and calculating the error; and performing anomaly diagnosis based on error criteria.

[0144] In this invention, when the error exceeds the threshold for 3-5 consecutive measurement cycles, the voltage transformer is confirmed to be abnormal and an alarm is issued.

[0145] When a distributed power source is present, the calculation of the virtual reference voltage in this invention needs to take into account the influence of the current injected by the distributed power source.

[0146] This invention evaluates the reliability of a virtual reference voltage by calculating a consistency index between calculated voltages.

[0147] This invention considers the virtual reference voltage to be reliable when the consistency index is less than a preset threshold; otherwise, it re-verifies the parameters or checks the data quality.

[0148] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:
