Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power equipment testing technology, and relates to a method for diagnosing and locating inter-turn short-circuit faults in hollow reactors based on a magnetic field sensor array. Background Technology
[0002] Air-core reactors, as critical high-voltage primary equipment in power systems, play a vital role in reactive power compensation, system voltage regulation and stabilization, and limiting short-circuit current. Their operating status directly affects the safety and reliability of the power grid. Therefore, ensuring the safe and stable operation of air-core reactors is a crucial aspect of maintaining power system stability.
[0003] Air-core reactors are typically installed outdoors for extended periods, making them susceptible to temperature and humidity fluctuations, pollution, and system overvoltage. Under these conditions, the windings may experience moisture absorption, partial discharge, and localized overheating, leading to a decline or even damage in the inter-turn insulation performance, ultimately inducing inter-turn short circuits. Inter-turn short circuits are not only one of the most common fault types during the operation of air-core reactors, but also pose a significant hazard: if the faulty equipment is not detected and isolated in time, the current distribution near the fault point will be abnormal, the local temperature rise of the coil will be significant, further accelerating insulation aging, causing the fault to gradually expand from a few inter-turn short circuits to multi-turn short circuits. In severe cases, it may cause the reactor to burn out or even catch fire, posing a significant threat to the safe and stable operation of the power system. Therefore, the accurate detection and early identification of inter-turn short circuit faults have important engineering significance and application value.
[0004] Current methods for diagnosing inter-turn short circuits in air-core reactors primarily rely on multi-source signals, including electrical, thermal, mechanical, and vibration signals. Among these, methods based on electrical parameters typically identify faults through changes in characteristics such as voltage, current, power angle, or equivalent impedance. Some studies have also fused electrical signals with environmental information such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed to improve diagnostic reliability. Meanwhile, inter-turn short circuits alter the distribution of electromagnetic forces and cause abnormal structural vibration characteristics; related vibration features have been used in conjunction with machine learning for fault identification and location. However, these methods generally suffer from several common limitations: low sensitivity to early localized faults, susceptibility to environmental noise and fluctuations in operating conditions, and limited ability to accurately locate internal inter-turn short circuits within the reactor.
[0005] From a mechanistic perspective, a large circulating current flows through a short-circuited turn, generating a significantly enhanced local magnetic field around it according to the Biot-Savart law. Therefore, utilizing the magnetic field information around the reactor for fault detection has a clear physical basis. Compared to traditional electrical, thermal, and vibration methods, magnetic field measurement offers advantages such as non-contact operation, high sensitivity, and real-time performance, providing a more promising technical approach for the early identification and location of inter-turn short circuits. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for diagnosing and locating inter-turn short-circuit faults in air-core reactors based on a magnetic field sensor array.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A method for diagnosing and locating inter-turn short-circuit faults in air-core reactors based on a magnetic field sensor array includes the following steps:
[0009] Step 1: Arrange a magnetic field sensor array at the axial position on the outer side of the hollow reactor to obtain magnetic field distribution data near the hollow reactor;
[0010] Step 2: Calculate the magnetic field distribution data of the magnetic field sensor array position of the air-core reactor under normal operating conditions and inter-turn short-circuit fault conditions at different locations, and construct a complete fault feature database;
[0011] Step 3: Set up an inter-turn short-circuit fault at the determined location of the air-core reactor, and perform data calibration based on the measured data and the data in the fault characteristic database;
[0012] Step 4: Calculate the measured data of the air-core reactor using a fault diagnosis algorithm to determine whether a fault has occurred in the reactor and accurately locate the fault location. The fault diagnosis algorithm in Step 4 includes three stages:
[0013] The first stage: The magnetic field phase data collected by the magnetic field sensor located at the axial center of the hollow reactor is used as a reference, and the difference is calculated with the magnetic field phase data collected by other magnetic field sensors.
[0014] In the second stage, the fitness function is calculated by comparing the phase difference of the measured magnetic field after calibration with the phase difference under normal operating conditions in the database. If the convergence condition is met, the reactor will work normally; if the convergence condition is not met, the reactor will have an inter-turn short circuit fault.
[0015] In the third stage, a genetic algorithm based on a population competition mechanism is used to calculate the fitness function between the phase difference of the calibrated measured magnetic field and the phase difference of the database. If the convergence condition is met, the calculated fault location result is output.
[0016] Furthermore, the magnetic field sensor array consists of nine TMR magnetic field sensors, and each sensor is arranged at equal intervals from the top to the bottom of the hollow reactor. The sensitive direction of the TMR magnetic field sensor is axial.
[0017] Furthermore, the magnetic field distribution data is phase data extracted from the time-domain signal of the magnetic field collected by the TMR magnetic field sensor. The phase data extraction method is to obtain the phase by sinusoidal fitting of the magnetic field signal using the least squares method.
[0018] Furthermore, in step two, a complete fault feature database is constructed using interpolation, including the following steps:
[0019] Assume the fault location is determined by both the package number and the location parameter, let... x i Indicates the first i The package malfunctioned. y Indicates the location of the fault point in the axial direction of the reactor; for encapsulation x i Two adjacent fault locations Q 1( x i , y 1) and Q 2( x i , y 2) Any fault location during this period Q ( x i , y The magnetic field data is calculated using the following formula:

Q 1( x i , y 1) and Q 2( x i , y 2) Magnetic field distribution data, f ( Q The result is the magnetic field distribution calculated by linear interpolation. In this way, the magnetic field distribution data corresponding to all fault locations are obtained, thereby completing the construction of the fault feature database.
[0022] Furthermore, the data calibration based on measured data and fault characteristic database described in step three includes the following steps:
[0023] Set measured data Data from the fault characteristic database The following linear relationship exists:

[0025] Linear regression fitting using the least squares method yields the parameters. a andb .
[0026] Furthermore, the specific calculation process for the first stage is as follows:
[0027] The TMR magnetic field sensors in the magnetic field sensor array are numbered sequentially from bottom to top as 1 to 9. The TMR magnetic field sensor at the axial center of the hollow reactor is numbered 5. Using this sensor as a reference, the phase difference value of the k-th sensor satisfies the following formula:
[0028]
[0029] The phase difference of the measured magnetic field was obtained through calculation. Magnetic field phase difference under normal operating conditions magnetic field phase difference with fault feature database .
[0030] Furthermore, the specific process of the second phase is as follows:

[0032]
[0033] Set convergence criteria parameters ,if This indicates that the air-core reactor is working normally; if This indicates that the air-core reactor has an inter-turn short circuit fault.
[0034] Furthermore, the specific calculation process for the third stage is as follows:
[0035] First, determine the location of the fault within the envelope, and then, based on the location of this envelope, determine the axial location of the specific inter-turn short circuit fault in the air-core reactor; let the number of envelopes be... i Each package is set as an initial population 1. i Population size set to 100, fitness function Satisfy the following formula:
[0036]
[0037] i Each population was iteratively calculated three times using a genetic algorithm to obtain its optimal fitness function: and the corresponding axial position ; i The optimal fitness function of each population competes with the others to select the best population. x The following equation is satisfied:
[0038]

[0041] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention arranges a magnetic field sensor array on the outside of the hollow reactor to collect and analyze the surrounding magnetic field in real time in a non-contact manner, so as to realize online diagnosis and location of inter-turn short circuits.

It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0048] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention.

In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0049] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the invention.
[0050] Example 1:
[0051] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this invention provides a method for diagnosing and locating inter-turn short-circuit faults in air-core reactors based on a magnetic field sensor array, comprising the following steps:
[0052] Step 1: Arrange a magnetic field sensor array at the axial position on the outer side of the hollow reactor to obtain magnetic field distribution data near the hollow reactor.
[0053] The magnetic field sensor array consists of nine TMR magnetic field sensors, and each sensor is evenly spaced from the top to the bottom of the hollow reactor. The sensitive direction of the TMR magnetic field sensor is axial.
[0054] The acquired magnetic field distribution data is phase data extracted from the time-domain signal of the magnetic field collected by the TMR magnetic field sensor. The phase data extraction method is to obtain the phase by sinusoidal fitting of the magnetic field signal using the least squares method.
[0055] Step 2: Calculate the magnetic field distribution data of the magnetic field sensor array position of the air-core reactor under normal operating conditions and inter-turn short-circuit fault conditions at different locations, and construct a complete fault feature database;
[0056] The acquired magnetic field distribution data is phase data extracted from the time-domain signal of the magnetic field collected by the TMR magnetic field sensor. The phase data extraction method is to obtain the phase by sinusoidal fitting of the magnetic field signal using the least squares method.
[0057] Calculating the magnetic field distribution data of the magnetic field sensor array locations under all different inter-turn short-circuit fault conditions requires significant computational resources and time. To improve computational efficiency, the fault locations are discretized at certain step intervals, and magnetic field distribution calculations are performed only for a subset of fault conditions. For the magnetic field distribution data between adjacent fault locations, a linear interpolation method is used for estimation. The specific process is as follows:
[0058] Assume the fault location is determined by both the package number and location parameters, where x i Indicates the first i The package malfunctioned. y This indicates the location of the fault point along the axial direction of the reactor. (For encapsulation...) x i Two adjacent fault locations Q 1( x i , y 1) and Q 2( x i , y 2) Any fault location during this period Q ( x i , y The magnetic field data is calculated using the following formula:
[0059]
[0060] in, f ( Q 1) and f ( Q 2) Indicate the location of the fault respectively. Q 1( x i , y 1) and Q 2( x i , y 2) Magnetic field distribution data, f ( Q The result is the magnetic field distribution calculated by linear interpolation. Using this method, magnetic field distribution data corresponding to all fault locations are obtained, thus completing the construction of the fault feature database.
[0061] Step 3: Artificially set an inter-turn short-circuit fault at a determined location on the air-core reactor, and perform data calibration based on measured data and data from the fault characteristic database.
[0062] The specific process of linearly fitting the data measured under this fault condition with the data at that location in the database to determine the calibration parameters and calibrate the measured data is as follows:
[0063] Set measured data Data from the fault characteristic database The following linear relationship exists:
[0064]
[0065] Linear regression fitting using the least squares method yields the parameters. a and b .
[0066] The main reason for calculating calibration parameters is that the actual operating reactor is subject to interference from surrounding metallic substances. According to Lenz's theorem, these metallic substances induce eddy currents that affect the original magnetic field distribution. Therefore, the actual operating reactor will deviate from the simulation calculation results under ideal conditions, necessitating calibration using measured data.
[0067] Step 4: Calculate the measured data of the air-core reactor using a fault diagnosis algorithm to determine whether the reactor has failed and to accurately locate the fault location.
[0068] This fault diagnosis algorithm mainly consists of three stages:
[0069] In the first stage, the magnetic field phase data collected by the magnetic field sensor located at the axial center of the hollow reactor is used as a benchmark, and the difference is calculated with the magnetic field phase data collected by other magnetic field sensors to avoid phase deviation caused by the uncertainty of the actual measurement start time. The specific calculation process is as follows:
[0070] The TMR magnetic field sensors in the magnetic field sensor array are numbered sequentially from bottom to top as 1 to 9. The TMR magnetic field sensor at the axial center of the hollow reactor is numbered 5. Using this sensor as a reference, the phase difference value of the k-th sensor satisfies the following formula:
[0071]
[0072] The phase difference of the measured magnetic field was obtained through calculation. Magnetic field phase difference under normal operating conditions magnetic field phase difference with fault feature database .
[0073] In the second stage, the fitness function is calculated by comparing the phase difference of the calibrated measured magnetic field with the phase difference under normal operating conditions in the database. If the convergence condition is met, the reactor operates normally. If the convergence condition is not met, the reactor has an inter-turn short-circuit fault. The specific process is as follows:
[0074] Measured magnetic field phase difference Phase difference of the magnetic field under normal operating conditions fitness function Satisfy the following formula:
[0075]
[0076] Set convergence criteria parameters ,if This indicates that the air-core reactor is working normally; if This indicates that the air-core reactor has an inter-turn short circuit fault.
[0077] In the third stage, a genetic algorithm based on a population competition mechanism is used to calculate the fitness function between the phase difference value of the calibrated measured magnetic field and the phase difference value in the database. If the convergence condition is met, the calculated fault location result is output. The specific calculation process is as follows:
[0078] To pinpoint the exact location of an inter-turn short-circuit fault in an air-core reactor, it is first necessary to determine the envelope containing the fault, and then, based on the location of that envelope, determine the specific axial position of the fault. Let the number of envelopes be... i Each package is set as an initial population 1. i Population size set to 100, fitness function Satisfy the following formula:
[0079]
[0080] i Each population was iteratively calculated three times using a genetic algorithm to obtain its optimal fitness function: and the corresponding axial position .Then i The optimal fitness function of each population competes with the others to select the best population. x ,in x ∈(1,2,..., i ), satisfying the following formula:
[0081]
[0082] x This refers to the envelope number where the inter-turn short-circuit fault is located. Further calculation of the axial location of the fault is needed. y .exist xIf the encapsulation fails, a genetic algorithm is used to continue iterative optimization. Convergence criteria parameters are set. ,if If the algorithm converges, then the position of the output is calculated. y The axial location where the final fault occurred is now determined, and fault location is complete.
