Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power transformers, and in particular to a method, measuring device, and control equipment for determining the insulation resistance of a three-winding transformer. Background Technology

[0002] Three-winding transformers, as key voltage conversion devices in power systems, are widely used in multi-level power grids encompassing high-voltage transmission, medium-voltage distribution, and low-voltage consumption. Their core function is to achieve power conversion between high, medium, and low voltage levels through a single device, thereby optimizing the power grid structure and improving operational flexibility. Since the insulation structure of a three-winding transformer consists of multiple layers of insulating oil and paperboard, its insulation performance directly affects the transformer's operational safety and lifespan. Insulation resistance, as one of the core indicators for measuring insulation performance, can sensitively reflect defects such as penetrating damage to the insulation layer, insulating oil deterioration, overall moisture absorption, and surface contamination.

[0003] In actual operation and maintenance, power workers need to periodically measure the insulation resistance of multiple insulation parts of transformers (such as the high-voltage winding to the medium-voltage winding, and the high-voltage winding to ground) using a megohmmeter to assess their insulation condition. However, in existing technologies, each measurement requires separate wiring, discharging, and data reading, resulting in cumbersome and time-consuming operations, and posing a risk of electric shock during frequent wiring. Furthermore, slight deviations in multiple measurement results may mask actual insulation defects, affecting the accuracy of diagnosis.

[0041] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the measuring device provided in this application.

[0042] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0043] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] Three-winding transformers achieve power conversion between high, medium, and low voltage levels using a single device, optimizing system structure and improving operational flexibility. The insulation structure of a three-winding transformer consists of multiple layers of insulating oil and paperboard. Its insulation resistance value is one of the important indicators for measuring insulation performance; a higher resistance value indicates a better insulation layer's ability to prevent leakage current.

[0045] Existing technology for measuring the insulation resistance of three-winding transformers involves applying a DC voltage of the appropriate level to the insulation component of the equipment under test using a megohmmeter. The leakage current flowing through the insulation component is then obtained, and the insulation resistance value can be calculated using Ohm's law. However, three-winding transformers have multiple insulation components, requiring testing of combinations such as "high-voltage winding to medium-voltage winding," "high-voltage winding to low-voltage winding," "medium-voltage winding to low-voltage winding," "high-voltage winding to ground," "medium-voltage winding to ground," and "low-voltage winding to ground." Each measurement requires a long reading time and necessitates rewiring and discharging the equipment. The measurement components are cumbersome, the insulation shielding operation is complex, and each measurement requires full charging and discharging of the equipment. The entire process is time-consuming and inefficient. Furthermore, during frequent rewiring, workers may accidentally touch undischarged components, leading to electric shock accidents.

[0046] In view of this, this application proposes a wiring mode for multi-channel insulation resistance testing by analyzing the insulation structure model (insulation resistance distribution relationship) of a three-winding transformer. Multiple sets of insulation resistance values ​​can be obtained by controlling the closing of different internal switches through a single wiring operation. Based on the obtained multiple sets of insulation resistance values ​​and the insulation resistance distribution relationship, a theoretical expression is constructed, and the resistance values ​​of all insulation resistances are calculated. Through this method, the insulation resistance can be automatically calculated with only one wiring operation, improving testing efficiency and accuracy.

[0047] This application applies to all applications using three-winding transformers, such as substations, distribution networks, and laboratories.

These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0050] To efficiently complete the multi-point insulation performance evaluation of a three-winding transformer, a multi-channel insulation resistance test wiring mode is adopted. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the measuring device provided in this application is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the measuring device includes a control device (not shown), a high-voltage output terminal, a grounding terminal, a high-voltage connection terminal, a medium-voltage connection terminal, and a low-voltage connection terminal;

[0051] The high-voltage terminals are connected to the high-voltage output terminal and the grounding terminal respectively; the medium-voltage terminals are connected to the high-voltage output terminal and the grounding terminal respectively; the low-voltage terminals are connected to the high-voltage output terminal and the grounding terminal respectively; a switch is installed on each connection line, and the switch is connected to the control equipment.

[0053] pass Figure 1 The multi-channel insulation resistance test wiring mode allows for the determination of insulation resistance values ​​with a single wiring step. Using the aforementioned measuring device and with the control equipment as the executing entity, the method for determining each insulation resistance includes the following steps:

[0054] Step 1: Control the switch to different preset closed states, and obtain the first parallel resistor, the second parallel resistor, the third parallel resistor, the fourth parallel resistor, the fifth parallel resistor, and the sixth parallel resistor respectively; wherein, the first parallel resistor is R. 12 R 13 and R 10 The first parallel resistor is R; the second parallel resistor is R. 12 R 23 and R 20 The first parallel resistor; the third parallel resistor is R. 13 R 23 and R 30 The first parallel resistor; the fourth parallel resistor is R. 13 R 10 R 23 R 20 The fifth parallel resistor is R. 10 R 30 R 12 R 23 The sixth parallel resistor is R. 20 R 30 R 12 R 13 Parallel resistors.

[0055] The control equipment controls the switch to six different closed states, resulting in different parallel resistances. Figure 2 The connection methods illustrated in the diagram include the following six closed states:

[0056] Combination 1: With K1, K4, and K6 closed and K2, K3, and K5 open, measure the insulation resistance between the high-voltage winding and the medium-voltage winding, the low-voltage winding, and ground, and output the test result A1 of the first parallel resistance. Figure 1 From the structural model, we can obtain:

[0057]

[0058] Combination 2: With K2, K3, and K6 closed and K1, K4, and K5 open, measure the insulation resistance between the medium-voltage winding and the high-voltage winding, the low-voltage winding, and ground, and output the second parallel resistance test result A2. Figure 1 From the structural model, we can obtain:

[0059]

[0060] Combination 3: With K2, K4, and K5 closed and K1, K3, and K6 open, measure the insulation resistance between the low-voltage winding and the high-voltage winding, the medium-voltage winding, and ground, and output the third parallel resistance test result A3. Figure 1 From the structural model, we can obtain:

[0061]

[0062] Combination 4: With K1, K3, and K6 closed and K2, K4, and K5 open, measure the insulation resistance of the high-voltage winding, medium-voltage winding to the low-voltage winding, and ground. Output the fourth parallel resistance test result A4. Figure 1 From the structural model, we can obtain:

[0063]

[0064] Combination 5: With K1, K4, and K5 closed and K2, K3, and K6 open, measure the insulation resistance of the high-voltage winding, low-voltage winding to the medium-voltage winding, and ground. Output the fifth parallel resistance test result A5. Figure 1 From the structural model, we can obtain:

[0065]

[0066] Combination 6: With K2, K3, and K5 closed and K1, K4, and K6 open, measure the insulation resistance of the medium-voltage winding, low-voltage winding to the high-voltage winding, and ground. Output the sixth parallel resistance test result A6. Figure 1 From the structural model, we can obtain:

[0067]

[0068] Step 2: Determine R based on the first parallel resistor, the second parallel resistor, the third parallel resistor, the fourth parallel resistor, the fifth parallel resistor, and the sixth parallel resistor. 10R 20 R 30 R 12 R 13 R 23 The resistance value.

[0069] The above six measured values ​​and six unknowns can be solved by solving the system of equations to obtain R. 10 R 20 R 30 R 12 R 13 R 23 The resistance value. There are various ways to solve this group of methods, such as the quasi-Newton method, the secant method, and the fixed-point iteration method.

[0070] Using the method described in this application, it is only necessary to connect the high-voltage winding, medium-voltage winding, and low-voltage winding to their corresponding terminals. After one wiring, the rated voltage is applied to the high-voltage output terminal, and a control signal is output to cause the corresponding switch to be closed or open, thus allowing the R value to be measured. 10 R 20 R 30 R 12 R 13 R 23 The resistance value.

[0071] When measuring the insulation resistance of transformer windings, the positions of the voltage application clamp and signal acquisition clamp on the test object cannot be guaranteed to be completely consistent, and there is electromagnetic interference coupled from nearby live equipment, resulting in slight deviations in the test results for the same insulation part in multiple tests. That is, each insulation resistance measured is slightly different and not a fixed value. Specifically, the same variable in equations (1)-(6) may have different values ​​in different equations, with slight differences. Therefore, in order to accurately represent the insulation resistance value, it can be expressed in the form of a resistance value range. The following uses a combination of the quasi-Newton method and a genetic algorithm to obtain the resistance value range of each insulation resistance.

[0072] Therefore, in a given R 10 R 20 R 30 R 12 R 13 R 23 In this method of resistance estimation, a preliminary estimation of the resistance value of each insulation component is first performed using a coarse-grained positioning method. Specifically, this includes the following steps:

[0073] S21. Based on the measured value and theoretical expression of each parallel resistor, establish six sets of mathematical equations; among them, the theoretical expression includes the insulation resistance to be solved.

[0074] The measured value of each parallel resistor is A in the above formulas (1)-(6), and the theoretical expression is the left side of the equal sign in the above formulas (1)-(6). The theoretical part of the parallel resistance is calculated based on the resistance value of the insulation resistance to be solved.

[0075] S22. By subtracting the theoretical values ​​from the measured values, the six sets of mathematical equations are transformed into functions, resulting in six sets of functions.

[0076] Equations (1)-(6) are converted into the following six sets of functions:

[0077]

[0078] S23. Take the sum of the six sets of functions as the objective function, solve for the minimum value of the objective function, and determine the resistance value of each insulation resistance to be solved.

[0079] Establish the objective function as minimizing the sum of all functions, as shown in equation (7):

[0080]

[0081] By finding the minimum value of the objective function described above, R can be determined. 10 R 20 R 30 R 12 R 13 R 23 The resistance value.

[0082] In one specific implementation, the resistance is solved by minimizing the objective function using a quasi-Newton method. The quasi-Newton method is an unconstrained optimization algorithm that accelerates convergence by approximating the Hessian matrix and is suitable for solving nonlinear equations.

[0083] Specifically, considering the structural characteristics of a three-winding transformer, this invention is designed based on a typical winding arrangement, where the high-voltage winding is located on the outermost side, the medium-voltage winding is in the middle, and the low-voltage winding is located on the innermost side. Therefore, the insulation resistance value R between the high-voltage winding and the low-voltage winding is... 13 Greater than the insulation resistance R between the high-voltage winding and the medium-voltage winding 12 The insulation resistance R between the medium-voltage winding and the low-voltage winding 23 As shown in equation (8).

[0084]

[0085] The constraint-based optimization problem is transformed into an unconstrained optimization problem by using the penalty function method in exponential form. That is, the optimization models (7) and (8) are transformed into equation (9), as shown in the following equation, where a1, b1, a2, and b2 are penalty factors.

[0086]

[0087] The function in equation (9) is the function to be solved. The last two terms are penalty terms. Equation (9) is optimized using the quasi-Newton method to minimize its function value. The steps are as follows.

[0088] First, initialize the variables. We take the identity matrix as a positive definite approximation matrix H0 and set the gradient norm tolerance. This is the convergence threshold.

[0089] Calculate the gradient of the objective function, i.e.

[0090]

[0091] In the formula, k represents the number of iterations. After each gradient calculation, the gradient norm tolerance is checked to see if it meets the convergence threshold. If it does, the iteration stops, and x is output. k This allows for coarse-grained positioning of the resistance values ​​at each insulation component. Otherwise, continued optimization and iteration are performed.

[0092] During the update and iteration process, it is necessary to determine the search direction p. k The calculation is shown in Equation (11), and the Armijo criterion is used to determine the line search step size. Update.

[0093]

[0094] H k Let be the positive definite approximation matrix after iteration. Update the iteration points and the approximation matrix. The iterative calculation process is shown in equations (12) and (13).

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] I is the identity matrix; S k The step size vector represents the change during iteration; y K This is the gradient change vector.

[0098] The insulation resistance values ​​x for six combinations of the three-winding transformer were obtained through optimization using the quasi-Newton method. k Because of x k Substituting the values ​​of the six resistors into equations (1)-(6) may not necessarily make the equations true. Therefore, the six resistor values ​​obtained by the quasi-Newton method optimization can be substituted into equations (1)-(6) for verification. If the equations are true, the resistance values ​​of each insulation resistor obtained by coarse-grained positioning can be output.

[0099] Based on the resistance values ​​of each insulation resistance obtained by the above coarse-grained positioning, extreme value analysis and genetic algorithm are used to expand the search within the upper and lower limits of each insulation resistance value until equations (1)-(6) are satisfied, and the range values ​​of each insulation resistance are obtained.

[0100] To overcome the problems of wasted computational resources and low solution accuracy caused by the excessively large search range of a single genetic algorithm, the search method in this application combines extreme value analysis and genetic algorithm.

[0101] Based on the resistance values ​​obtained from the coarse-grained positioning using the quasi-Newton method, we expand to their upper and lower limits to find values ​​within the upper and lower limit ranges that simultaneously satisfy equations (1)-(6). Let each resistance value have upper and lower limit characteristics, denoted as a. i b i (i is a positive integer and i ∈ [1, 6], a) i i ), i represents x k The i-th element.

[0102] Given the slight deviation characteristic of insulation resistance measurements, the combination of intervals with the minimum uncertainty is selected from all constrained intervals to avoid meaningless expansion of the intervals, making the obtained intervals more accurate and better assessing the condition of critical insulation components of the transformer. Therefore, a function is established with minimizing the total width of the intervals as the objective function, as shown in the following equation.

[0103]

[0104] At the same time, the following constraints need to be met:

[0105]

[0106] In the formula, j represents the j-th equation in equations (1)-(6). S represents the elements in the coefficient matrix T of the six sets of functions. j Let x be the value on the right side of the j-th equation in the group of six methods. i,j Substituting it into the equation gives the value on the right.

[0107] The following is a genetic algorithm design based on the optimization of insulation resistance value range:

[0108] (1) Initialize the insulation resistance value range:

[0109] With x k Based on the insulation resistance values ​​of each part, an initialization factor λ is set, and variable a is randomly initialized. i b i a i b i The calculation is shown in equation (16), and it must satisfy a. i <b​i And form chromosomes [a1, b1, a2, b2, ..., a6, b6].

[0110]

[0111] rand represents a random number in (0,1).

[0112] (2) Fitness function calculation based on extreme value analysis:

[0113] By establishing a fitness function based on extreme value analysis, we can measure whether the interval variable can satisfy the minimization of the interval and meet the constraints in equation (15). The fitness function value is shown in the following equation.

[0114]

[0115] In the formula, To determine whether the values ​​in a specified interval satisfy constraint (13) through extreme value analysis, For numbers much greater than 0 (e.g., 10000), if the constraint is satisfied, assign...

[0116] The value is 0, otherwise, the value is assigned as 0. . , where is the weighting coefficient, balancing the error and the interval width.

[0117] (3) Selection, crossover, and mutation:

[0118] Selection: Using the tournament selection algorithm, the fitness function value of each chromosome is calculated in each iteration. Individuals with high fitness are preferentially retained, that is, those that meet the constraints in equation (15) with small total width of the interval of each insulation resistance part, and are allowed to enter the next stage.

[0119] Crossover: For the selected individuals, a certain probability is used to determine whether to perform a crossover operation. If the decision is successful, an interval is randomly selected from the six interval variables of the individual, and the selected interval parameter structure of the parent and mother generations is swapped to form two new individuals; if the decision is unsuccessful, no crossover operation is performed, and the process proceeds directly to the next stage.

[0120] Mutation: For the individuals retained after crossover, a mutation operation is performed on the individuals in the population with a certain probability. A certain interval is randomly selected from the mutated individuals, and the boundary of the interval is randomly expanded or contracted to realize the local perturbation of the interval, so as to ensure that the interval optimization process does not get trapped in the local optimum, as shown in Equation (18).

[0121]

[0122] In the formula, , All are random numbers; if mutated... Swap the values ​​of the two to form a new interval.

[0123] (4) Population update and judgment: After selection, crossover, and mutation, the remaining individuals are updated. A maximum number of iterations and a fitness threshold are set. If either condition is met, the optimization iteration stops and the best individual is output; otherwise, optimization continues.

[0124] In summary, to address the minute deviation characteristics in repeated insulation resistance measurements, an interval-based insulation resistance calculation algorithm is proposed. Based on the aforementioned genetic algorithm, accurate interval positioning of each insulation resistance value can be achieved. Algorithm optimization can eliminate measurement errors and improve accuracy. A quasi-Newton method is used to solve multiple combination equations for coarse-grained insulation resistance positioning. Then, minimizing the total interval width is used as the objective function, considering the constraint of the sum of combined insulation resistances, to achieve precise interval positioning. The two-stage optimization combining the quasi-Newton method and the genetic algorithm improves the accuracy and speed of the solution at the algorithmic level. This method can simultaneously evaluate the condition of all critical insulation components of a transformer with a single connection, significantly improving testing efficiency and accuracy, and providing reliable data support for transformer insulation condition diagnosis.

[0125] The following is a summary of the methods for calculating various insulation resistances using genetic algorithms, including the following steps:

[0126] Step 1: Based on the structural and functional characteristics of the three-winding transformer, model the insulation structure of the three-winding transformer.

[0127] Step 2: Based on the designed multi-channel insulation resistance test wiring mode, simultaneously measure the insulation resistance values ​​of multiple insulation combination parts of the three-winding transformer, analyze the basic composition of each insulation combination part, and express it in equation form.

[0128] Step 3: Convert the measured insulation resistance combination equation into a function form, establish the objective function of minimizing the sum of all functions, and use the quasi-Newton method to solve the problem, considering the special characteristics of the insulation resistance between the high voltage winding and the low voltage winding and the insulation resistance between the medium voltage winding and ground, to obtain the coarse-grained positioning of the resistance value of each insulation part, that is, the estimated insulation resistance value of each insulation part.

[0129] Step 4: Based on the insulation resistance values ​​of each insulation part output in Step 3, use a genetic algorithm to optimize and expand the search of each insulation resistance value to its upper and lower limits until all equality conditions are met and the sum of the intervals is minimized. Finally, output the insulation resistance interval values ​​of each insulation part.
