Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of power transmission and distribution systems, and in particular to a method for dynamic evaluation and early warning of insulator insulation performance based on plant bridging identification. Background Technology

[0002] Insulators are key equipment for ensuring the electrical insulation and mechanical fixation of transmission lines, and their operating status is directly related to the safety and stability of the power grid. In hot and humid regions, such as southern provinces of my country, dirt easily accumulates on the surface of insulators, and algae, moss, and even higher plants can grow.

[0003] A typical case involves an incident one summer when inspectors from the Southern Power Grid, conducting a detailed inspection of a 110kV line, discovered an anomaly in the operation of an insulator string on a remote mountain tower. Close-up drone footage revealed that lush grasses were growing between the sheds of the composite insulator. The roots of these plants were deeply embedded in the dust at the junction of the steel cap and the core rod, and their long stems and leaves had crossed the air gaps between adjacent insulator sheds, forming a stable "plant bridge" connecting multiple insulator plates. Under clear weather conditions, the line operated normally. However, after a period of dense fog, the line suddenly tripped. Fault recording equipment indicated a single-phase ground fault, and subsequent line inspection confirmed that the fault was indeed located on this grass-covered insulator string. The accident analysis concluded that in the humid environment, the bridging plant stems and leaves absorbed water, creating a high-conductivity path that significantly shortened the effective insulation creepage distance, ultimately leading to a flashover accident.

[0004] This case reveals the limitations of traditional operation and maintenance models. Currently, the monitoring and assessment of insulator condition mainly relies on regular manual inspections, measurements of equivalent salt density (ESDD) / ash density (NSDD), and online monitoring of leakage current. However, these traditional methods have significant shortcomings: manual inspections are inefficient and time-consuming, making it difficult to comprehensively cover such subtle but dangerous biological growth; the equivalent salt density method cannot effectively reflect the unique impact of biological adhesion on insulation performance; while leakage current monitoring can reflect the overall trend of insulation deterioration, it cannot distinguish the cause of the fault, and alarms are usually only triggered when insulation performance has severely deteriorated (e.g., plants have become sufficiently damp and conductive), resulting in a significant delay in early warning and an inability to specifically identify and provide early warning for the special high-risk condition of "plant bridging."

[0005] In the prior art, for example, patent application number CN202311585283.6, entitled "A Two-Stage Dispatch Method for Mobile Energy Storage to Enhance the Resilience of Distribution Networks", focuses on post-disaster resource dispatch and does not consider the special state of the equipment itself under complex weather conditions; patent application number CN202311635487.6, entitled "A Distribution Network Resilience Assessment Method Considering Distributed Power Supply Support", focuses on load recovery at the system level, but does not involve the identification and assessment of specific fault mechanisms at the component level.
