Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil-immersed transformer discharge defect identification technology, specifically relating to an active defense method and system for oil-immersed transformer discharge defects based on multi-parameter signals.
[0002] Background Information Oil-immersed transformers are important electrical equipment in the transmission and conversion of electrical energy. If a discharge defect occurs inside the transformer and is not detected in time, it may quickly develop into an arc breakdown fault, causing the oil tank to crack due to the large amount of gas produced or even causing a deflagration accident.
[0003] When discharge defects develop, partial discharges generate pulse current signals and ultra-high frequency signals. Insulating materials affected by discharges also produce acetylene, which dissolves in oil. By detecting these characteristic physical quantities, internal discharge defects can be identified. Currently, ultra-high frequency and pulse current sensors used in engineering may be affected by interference such as no-load closing and external lightning strikes, resulting in short-term large amplitudes. Simply setting a threshold for the amplitude to determine whether to alarm is unreliable. Online dissolved acetylene gas detection devices may also experience data jumps, and using acetylene content alone for alarms is not reliable enough. Therefore, by comprehensively analyzing multiple parameter signals and applying certain continuity discrimination conditions, the influence of interference can be effectively eliminated, ensuring the reliability of discharge defect identification.
[0004] CN120511621A discloses an active protection method and system for oil-immersed transformers based on pulse current characteristics. It determines whether active protection should be activated based on whether the instantaneous value of the pulse current signal at the core grounding point reaches the protection activation threshold; it determines whether the current pulse cluster is an internal discharge abnormality pulse cluster based on the characteristics of three sets of pulse current signals; and it determines whether the protection should operate based on the number of abnormal discharge pulse clusters within a set period. However, this scheme simply sets a threshold for amplitude to determine internal discharge faults, which has insufficient reliability.
[0005] CN117872068A discloses a method and system for identifying severe discharge defects inside oil-immersed equipment. During equipment operation, it collects digital pulse current signals output by high-frequency pulse current sensors installed at the oil tank grounding wire and / or the bushing end screen grounding wire. The signal energy and the number of pulses contained are used to determine whether high-energy cluster discharge has occurred. The presence of a severe discharge defect inside the oil tank is determined based on whether the number of high-energy cluster discharges within a set time exceeds a preset threshold. However, this method only considers changes in signal energy to determine severity, ignoring the large pulse current signals caused by external interference signals during actual operation. Therefore, this method is prone to misjudgment due to large external discharges, resulting in insufficient accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide an active defense method for discharge defects in oil-immersed transformers based on multi-parameter signals.

[0024] Secondly, this invention discloses an active defense system for discharge defects in oil-immersed transformers based on the aforementioned active defense method, comprising a multi-parameter signal acquisition module, an active defense cycle and time window setting module, and a discharge defect judgment module: The active defense cycle and time window setting module sets the active defense cycle.

Step 6: A discharge defect has occurred in the transformer, triggering an alarm signal that prompts maintenance personnel to request equipment shutdown.
[0042] This invention requires acquiring analog signals from a high-frequency pulse current sensor, an ultra-high-frequency sensor, and a dissolved acetylene detection device installed on the transformer body during transformer operation, and obtaining digital pulse current signals. UHF signal Signal of dissolved acetylene content in oil Secondly, the intensity and continuity of the discharge are determined by comparing the amplitude of the pulse current signal and the ultra-high frequency signal with different preset thresholds, and by whether signals exceeding the threshold have been generated in the past several time periods. At the same time, the concentration of dissolved acetylene is used to help determine whether there is a discharge defect in the oil and the degree of defect deterioration. Finally, if the transformer is found to have a discharge defect, an alarm signal is output to remind the operation and maintenance personnel to stay away from the monitored equipment and apply for shutdown in a timely manner.
[0043] This invention discloses an active defense system for discharge defects in oil-immersed transformers that utilizes the aforementioned active defense method for discharge defects in oil-immersed transformers based on multi-parameter signals, including a multi-parameter signal acquisition module, an active defense cycle and time window setting module, and a discharge defect judgment module.

[0044] The feasibility of the method of the present invention is illustrated by taking the internal discharge defect of an oil-immersed transformer as an example. When a developing discharge defect occurs inside the transformer, the pulse current sensor installed at the transformer core grounding wire and the ultra-high frequency sensor installed on the transformer body wall can measure pulse signals with high amplitude and repeatability. Will Set to 100ms, T is set to 1s. Set to 200mV, Setting the voltage to 400mV, and following steps 1, 2, and 6, these signals can be used to determine if a discharge defect has occurred inside the transformer. Figure 2 As shown, the pulse signal and ultra-high frequency signal appear for a duration of more than 1 second.
[0045] However, during no-load closing, although the pulse current signal appeared to be much higher than the noise floor, its duration was short, less than 1 second, and no ultra-high frequency signal was generated. Figure 3 As shown, this invention can identify discharge defects and will not misjudge no-load closing interference, prompting maintenance personnel to take timely measures.
