Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides an online insulation analysis method for electrical equipment in hydropower stations, comprising the following specific steps: Step 1: Divide the transformer into several monitoring areas evenly, use sensors to collect data on the coating status of the insulation layer in each monitoring area, and preliminarily screen out potential abnormal areas with insulation defects. In this embodiment, step one includes the following specific steps: Step 11: Divide the transformer into several monitoring areas evenly, number each monitoring area and obtain the coordinates of the monitoring area. In this embodiment, based on the transformer's geometric structure, such as the winding height or the perimeter of the core column, the transformer is divided into uniform grids in the spatial dimension to achieve fixed-point monitoring. Step 12: Based on the sensor resolution and coating quality detection accuracy requirements, set the spacing between sampling points. Deploy corresponding sensors, such as ultrasonic thickness gauges and high-frequency ultrasonic imaging, at the sampling points in each monitoring area, and acquire data from all valid sampling points within the monitoring area to construct a local dataset. Use sensors to collect coating status data of the insulation layer in each monitoring area. The coating status data includes coating thickness and bubble area. Where the coating is too thin, the electric field strength will increase sharply, becoming a breakthrough point for insulation breakdown. Monitoring coating uniformity can ensure that the electric field is evenly distributed in the insulation layer, avoiding breakdown caused by excessively high local electric fields. When bubbles exist inside the transformer insulation layer, under the action of a high electric field, the bubbles are prone to partial discharge. The discharge process releases energy instantaneously, generating high temperature and high pressure, causing the surrounding oil medium to expand rapidly and excite pressure waves, forming ultrasonic signals. Since the dielectric constant of air is much smaller than that of solid or liquid insulating materials, the electric field concentrates at the bubbles, leading to an increase in local field strength, becoming the discharge initiation point. Partial discharge is the main cause of insulation aging. Bubbles can cause uneven stress on the cross-section of the insulation layer. During the thermal expansion and contraction process of the transformer during operation, micro-cracks are easily generated around the bubbles, which will gradually corrode the surrounding insulation material and eventually lead to complete insulation breakdown. Monitoring bubbles can detect potential partial discharge sources in advance and avoid rapid deterioration of insulation performance during operation. Step 13: Obtain the average thickness and standard deviation of the coating thickness in a single monitoring area, and obtain the outlier values of the coating thickness by dividing the standard deviation of the coating thickness by the average thickness of the area. Step 14: Obtain the total area of all bubbles in a single monitoring area, and obtain the bubble anomaly value by dividing the total area of all bubbles by the total area of the single monitoring area; Step 15: Obtain the regional anomaly value of a single monitoring area by weighted summation of coating thickness anomalies and bubble anomalies; Step 16: Obtain the preset regional anomaly threshold, filter regional anomaly values that are greater than or equal to the preset regional anomaly threshold, and set the monitoring area corresponding to the regional anomaly value as a potential anomaly area with insulation defects.
[0020] Step 2: Based on the monitoring data of dissolved gas and moisture content in transformer oil, analyze the degree of erosion of insulation performance by moisture and gas decomposition products, and predict the evolution trend of potential abnormal areas. Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, step two includes the following specific steps: Step 21: Combine the monitoring data of dissolved gas and moisture content inside the transformer. The monitoring data of dissolved gas includes the gas concentration of dissolved gas inside the transformer. In this embodiment, oil samples are collected and the concentration of dissolved gas in the oil is analyzed by gas chromatography. The monitoring data of moisture content includes oil temperature and moisture concentration in the oil. In this embodiment, the top oil temperature of the transformer is measured by a temperature sensor and the dissolved moisture content in the oil is measured by a moisture sensor. Step 22: Obtain the relative saturation by dividing the water concentration in the oil by the saturation solubility corresponding to the oil temperature. Obtain the water erosion factor using the water erosion calculation formula. In this embodiment, the method for obtaining the saturation solubility corresponding to the oil temperature is as follows: monitor the transformer oil temperature in real time, and calculate the saturation solubility at the current oil temperature using the empirical formula of the Oommen curve. The water erosion calculation formula can be expressed as: In the formula, As a moisture-eroding factor, Relative saturation The moisture saturation threshold is set according to the design specifications of the transformer insulation system or historical experience, for example, 20%. Based on the erosion coefficient, The degradation acceleration index (DAC) is obtained as follows: Transformer insulation samples are selected, and the same batch of transformer oil is used. Deionized water is added to adjust the moisture content, creating different relative saturations. The oil temperature is kept constant, for example, 85℃, simulating the transformer's operating temperature. Five relative saturations are set, such as 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9. At each level, aging is performed at four time points, such as 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. The degree of insulation degradation is measured. With water erosion factor as the independent variable and water erosion factor as the dependent variable, the formula was obtained using the nonlinear least squares method. and ; Step 23: Obtain the total hydrocarbon gas generation rate using the gas generation rate calculation formula, which can be expressed as: In the formula, The generation rate of a single internal dissolved gas. for The gas concentration of a single internal dissolved gas at a given time. for The gas concentration of a single internal dissolved gas at a given time. To monitor the time interval, this embodiment sums the generation rates of the gases contained in the total hydrocarbons to obtain the generation rate of the total hydrocarbon gases. The gases contained in the total hydrocarbons may include H2, CH4, C2H6, C2H4, and C2H2. Total hydrocarbons are typical products of the cracking of insulating oil under thermal / electrical stress (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes), which directly reflect the degree of oil cracking. The generation rate threat value is obtained by dividing the generation rate of the total hydrocarbon gases by the gas rate alarm threshold. The total hydrocarbon content is obtained by the gas concentration of the internal dissolved gases. The gas concentration threat value is obtained by dividing the total hydrocarbon content by the concentration alarm threshold. The gas dissolution erosion factor is obtained by weighted summing the generation rate threat value and the gas concentration threat value. Step 24: Obtain the comprehensive erosion index by weighted summation of moisture erosion factor and gas dissolved erosion factor; Step 25: Calculate the comprehensive erosion index of the potential anomaly region at a predetermined future time using the evolution trend prediction formula. The evolution trend prediction formula can be expressed as: In the formula, Setting time for the future of potential anomaly regions The comprehensive erosion index, The comprehensive erosion index at the current time t. To mitigate the deterioration of the growth rate, regression analysis using historical data was conducted: In the formula, and The start and end times of the historical fitted data segment. This is a regional outlier.
[0021] Step 3: Collect monitoring data of electrical equipment within a designated area around the transformer and analyze the operating status of the electrical equipment; In this embodiment, step three includes the following specific steps: Step 31: Set the location of the transformer as the origin of the coordinate system, draw a circle with a set radius, and the effective electrical equipment within the circle is the equipment to be monitored. Collect the monitoring data of the electrical equipment in the set area around the transformer. The monitoring data includes current, temperature and vibration acceleration. In this embodiment, the current is obtained through a current transformer, the temperature is obtained through an infrared sensor, and the vibration acceleration is obtained through a piezoelectric acceleration sensor. Step 32: Obtain the current offset value, temperature offset value, and vibration acceleration offset value using the parameter offset value calculation formula. The parameter offset value calculation formula can be expressed as: In the formula, These are parameter offset values used to quantify the degree of anomalies in current, temperature, and vibration acceleration. For the monitoring data of the nth type of electrical equipment, it can be current, temperature, or vibration acceleration. The historical average value corresponding to the monitoring data. To monitor the historical standard deviation of the data, abnormal operating values of electrical equipment are obtained by weighted summation of current offset, temperature offset, and vibration acceleration offset.
[0022] Step 4: Collect current time-domain and frequency-domain waveform data of the transformer and related circuits, analyze the electrical characteristic disturbances caused by the evolved potential abnormal areas, analyze the transmission path of electrical disturbances in the power grid, and evaluate the impact of transformer insulation abnormalities on the operational stability of surrounding electrical equipment. Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, step four includes the following specific steps: Step 41: Deploy high-precision sampling devices at the transformer and its associated critical circuit nodes to acquire current data containing transient and steady-state information. Select the high-voltage side and low-voltage side bushings of the transformer, as well as the connection points of adjacent critical busbars and feeders, as monitoring nodes. Collect the time-domain and frequency-domain waveform data of the current of the transformer and its associated circuits. In this embodiment, the time-domain waveform of the current at each node is collected at a set sampling frequency, and its frequency-domain spectrum is calculated by fast Fourier transform. The formula for obtaining the frequency-domain spectrum can be expressed as: In the formula, To monitor the node index, For frequency variables, For nodes Current at frequency Spectral components at that location For nodes The instantaneous current at time T For time integration, The unit is imaginary. It should be noted that in actual monitoring, the finite-duration signal is mapped to the frequency domain through the Fast Fourier Transform. At this time, the integration interval is equivalent to the interval corresponding to the number of sampling points. Step 42: Obtain the electrical disturbance signal using the electrical disturbance difference calculation formula. In this embodiment, the actual waveform collected is compared with the reference healthy waveform to separate the disturbance component caused by the insulation abnormality area. The electrical disturbance difference calculation formula can be expressed as: In the formula, This refers to the electrical disturbance signal, specifically the electrical disturbance difference. For nodes The current waveform under normal operating conditions is obtained by monitoring historical data to obtain the current data when there are no abnormalities at this node; Step 43: Construct the power grid impedance matrix of the transformer and related circuits. In this embodiment, a power grid model is established, which includes the impedance parameters of the transformer and surrounding related nodes. The impedance matrix is obtained by inverting the node admittance matrix. The voltage disturbance amplitude is obtained by multiplying the disturbance current component with the elements of the impedance matrix. In this embodiment, the elements of the impedance matrix are the mutual impedance between node m and the transformer node. The frequency domain transformation result of the electrical disturbance signal is obtained by Fourier transform. The disturbance current component is the frequency domain vector at a specific node of the transformer. Step 44: Obtain the voltage deviation value by dividing the voltage disturbance amplitude by the rated voltage. Then, obtain the total harmonic distortion (THD) change using the formula for calculating the THD change. The formula for calculating the THD change can be expressed as: In the formula, Let r be the change in total harmonic distortion rate at point r of the electrical equipment. To determine the highest harmonic order, this embodiment sets the highest harmonic order, for example, 50th, based on the harmonic characteristics of the power grid (transformer excitation harmonics are mainly in the 3rd, 5th, and 7th orders), thus covering the main harmonic range. Let be the voltage disturbance amplitude of the h-th harmonic at point r of the electrical equipment. Given the rated voltage, the impact index of transformer insulation abnormalities on the operational stability of surrounding electrical equipment is obtained by first dividing the voltage deviation value and the total harmonic distortion rate increment by their respective allowable safety thresholds, and then weighting and summing them.
[0023] Step 5: Analyze the operational risks of electrical equipment by combining the evolution trend of potential abnormal areas and the impact of transformer insulation abnormalities on the operational stability of surrounding electrical equipment.
[0024] In this embodiment, step five includes the following specific steps: Step 51: Obtain the risk factor for internal insulation degradation of electrical equipment by dividing the comprehensive erosion index of the potential abnormal area at a future set time by the critical erosion index threshold for insulation failure. Step 52: Obtain the external stability impact risk factor by dividing the maximum value of the impact index of transformer insulation abnormality on the operational stability of surrounding electrical equipment by the threshold of the impact index of electrical equipment operational stability; Step 53: Obtain the comprehensive operational risk value of the electrical equipment by weighted summing of the risk factors for internal insulation degradation and external stability impact. Step 54: Obtain the preset operating risk threshold, filter the comprehensive operating risk values that are greater than or equal to the preset operating risk threshold, and issue an early warning to the electrical equipment corresponding to the comprehensive operating risk value.
[0025] The method for obtaining all weights and thresholds in this embodiment is as follows: obtain historical monitoring data and historical fault information of potential abnormal areas of transformers, import the obtained historical monitoring data into each step of this embodiment to obtain the comprehensive operating risk value of electrical equipment and determine whether an early warning is required, import the historical fault information and early warning judgment results into the trained MATLAB fitting software for fitting, and obtain the set of all weight and threshold values with the highest prediction accuracy.
