Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of design and manufacturing technology of neutral point grounding transformers for large generators, and in particular to an optimized design method for generator combined grounding transformers that takes into account the accuracy of grounding fault location. Background Technology
[0002] With the construction and commissioning of giant hydropower units, the ground capacitance current of the stator winding of the hydropower generator has increased dramatically. In order to reduce the single-phase ground fault current and avoid burning the stator core, combined grounding methods (such as "distribution transformer + load resistor / parallel inductor" or "distribution transformer + load resistor / series inductor") have been gradually promoted and applied.
[0003] Among them, single-phase grounding faults in the stator are the most common type of fault causing insulation damage in the stator windings of large generators. The decrease in grounding fault current and the change in transition resistance inevitably increase the difficulty of on-site fault diagnosis. In related technologies, stator grounding fault location generally adopts the "graphical method." The "graphical method" can improve the location accuracy down to the faulty conductor, thus gaining time for generator fault repair and power restoration.
[0004] In the "graphical method," ground fault location is abstracted into finding a vector. The potential of the line and the branch The intersection problem. That is, the fundamental zero-sequence voltage after the fault. First, the ground potential point was identified. sum vector ( (for generator neutral point), while fault location indicator angle It is a vector with vector The phase angle difference can be used to determine the vector. Based on the characteristics of the branch potential of different types of stator windings, if there is only one intersection point, then it is not necessary to know the grounding transition resistance value to accurately locate it.
[0005] Considering the positioning indicator angle It is unrelated to the grounding transition resistance, and only related to the parameters of the generator and the grounding transformer itself. Therefore, by optimizing the design of the grounding transformer to adjust the positioning indicator angle, the vector... The potential of the line and the branch Having only one intersection point can improve the positioning accuracy to the faulty line bar, thus pointing the way for the optimized design of generator-combined grounding transformers.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0026] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an optimized design method and system for a generator-combined grounding transformer that balances grounding fault location accuracy, as proposed in an embodiment of this application.
[0027] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an optimized design method for a generator-combined grounding transformer that balances grounding fault location accuracy, as proposed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step S101: Calculate the inherent capacitance current of the generator based on various parameters of the generator to be optimized, and determine the safe current for a single-phase ground fault in the generator stator.
[0028] Specifically, this application first estimates the capacitor current of the generator system. Then set the safe current for a single-phase ground fault in the generator stator. I F0 The set safe current for single-phase ground fault of generator stator must comply with the range of safe current values for ground fault of large generator stator as specified in the national standard (15A to 20A).
[0029] It should be noted that, in order to more clearly and intuitively illustrate the implementation principle and process of the generator-combined grounding transformer optimization design method that takes into account the accuracy of grounding fault location in this application, the following explanation will be based on a generator of a hydropower station in a specific embodiment.
[0030] In this example, we first obtain several known parameters of the generator. The nameplate parameters of the generator are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1. Parameters of a Generator Nameplate
[0031] Furthermore, the single-phase grounding capacitance value on the main transformer side of the generator outlet circuit breaker was obtained as 0.26 μF, and the single-phase grounding capacitance value on the generator side was obtained as 0.13 μF. The coupling capacitance of the high and low voltage windings of the main transformer was also obtained. When calculating the transmitted overvoltage, the fundamental zero-sequence voltage on the high-voltage side of the main transformer is set to... When calculating the neutral point displacement voltage, it is assumed that the phase B capacitance increases by 5% and the phase C capacitance decreases by 5%; the neutral point grounding transformer ratio is... .
[0032] Based on the various parameters of the generator described above, in one embodiment of this application, the inherent capacitance current of the generator is calculated according to the various parameters of the generator to be optimized, including: calculating the generator phase potential based on the generator rated voltage, and calculating the inherent capacitance current by combining the generator phase potential, the generator stator winding to ground capacitance and the capacitances on both sides of the generator terminal circuit breaker (GCB).
[0033] Referring to the example above, the generator phase potential is first calculated using the following formula:
[0034] in, U gn It is the generator's rated voltage. U gn The values can be obtained from Table 1 above. It is the phase potential of the generator.
[0035] Then, the magnitude of the generator's inherent capacitance current is calculated using the following formula: Where Cg is the generator stator winding capacitance to ground, C GCB These are small capacitors on both sides of the terminal circuit breaker (GCB) to suppress operating overvoltages.
[0036] Furthermore, when selecting the safe current for a single-phase ground fault in the generator stator, the already calculated magnitude of the inherent capacitance current can be considered, and the safe current for a single-phase ground fault in the generator stator can be set accordingly. I F0 It is 25A.
[0037] Step S102: Inductor current is introduced to compensate for the inherent capacitor current. Based on the design principle that the resistor current is equal to a preset multiple of the compensated capacitor current, the resistor current and inductor current are calculated using the inherent capacitor current and the safety current.
[0038] Specifically, using the inherent capacitance current and safety current calculated in the previous step, the resistance current is determined. I R and inductor current I L The design principle for these two design parameters is that the resistance current equals the compensated capacitor current. The preset multiple (for example, it can be 1.1 times).
[0039] In one embodiment of this application, based on the design principle that the resistance current is equal to a preset multiple of the compensated capacitance current, the resistance current and inductance current are calculated using the inherent capacitance current and the safety current, including: calculating the compensated capacitance current based on the safety current; calculating the resistance current based on the compensated capacitance current and the preset multiple; and calculating the inductance current based on the compensated capacitance current and the inherent capacitance current.
[0040] Continuing with the example above, based on the fact that the resistor current equals the compensated capacitor current ( The design principle of 1.1 times the resistance current can be calculated using the following formula: ; The compensated capacitor current can be calculated using the following formula: ; Furthermore, the inductive component of the neutral point current I L That is, 40.1 - 16.82 = 23.28A.
[0041] Step S103: Based on the resistance current and inductance current, determine various design parameters of the generator-combined grounding transformer. These various design parameters are used to ensure that the single-phase ground fault current is within the range of the safe current. The various design parameters include the inductance value and resistance value of the combined grounding transformer.
[0042] Specifically, by using the resistance current and inductance current determined in the previous step, we can further determine the inductance value and other design parameters that the combined grounding transformer needs to be connected in series or in parallel. Thus, by reasonably configuring the resistance and inductance connected in parallel on the secondary side of the neutral point grounding transformer, this application can limit the fault current to within the above-mentioned set safe current (25A).
[0043] In one embodiment of this application, various design parameters of the generator-combined grounding transformer are determined based on the resistance current and the inductance current, including: calculating the overall impedance of the neutral point grounding device based on the resistance current and the inductance current; detecting the load loss and impedance voltage percentage through load tests and short-circuit tests, and calculating the leakage resistance and leakage reactance of the combined grounding transformer based on the load loss and impedance voltage percentage; and calculating the parallel resistance and inductance values of the secondary side of the grounding transformer by combining the overall impedance, leakage resistance, leakage reactance and the secondary side impedance of the grounding transformer.
[0044] Continuing with the example above, based on the neutral point resistive current component and inductive current component calculated above, the overall impedance of the neutral point grounding device (including the resistance and inductance of the secondary side) can be obtained using the following formula:
[0045] in, I N This refers to the safe current for a single-phase ground fault in the generator stator, i.e. I N For the above settings I F0 .
[0046] Furthermore, by combining the relevant parameters of the grounding transformer, the resistance and inductance that need to be connected in series on the secondary side of the actual grounding transformer can be calculated. The detailed calculation process is as follows: First, load loss is measured through load tests and short-circuit tests. P k and impedance voltage percentage U d After that, the leakage resistance of the grounding transformer can be calculated using the following formula. and leakage reactance (All are single values):
[0047]
[0048] .
[0049] Furthermore, since the total impedance of the neutral point grounding device has been determined... Then, by using the secondary impedance of the grounding transformer... The resistance of parallel circuits can be calculated using the following formula. and parallel inductors The possible values of:
[0050]
[0051]
[0052]
[0053] Therefore, the grounding device parameter configuration obtained through the above design method can ensure that the single-phase ground fault current is within the safe current range.
[0054] Step S104: Verify the overvoltage transmitted by the generator, the neutral point displacement voltage, and the transient overvoltage of the reignition arc. Based on multiple design parameters, determine the number of intersection points between the straight line containing the vector determined by the positioning indicator angle in the graphical method and the branch potential. Adjust multiple design parameters to make the number of intersection points one.
[0055] Specifically, after the device parameter design is completed, this application also verifies the transmitted overvoltage and neutral point displacement voltage, and uses simulation analysis to verify whether the reignition arc overvoltage will threaten the insulation of the stator bars, so as to determine whether the designed device parameters meet the requirements.
[0056] In one embodiment of this application, the overvoltage transmitted by the generator is checked by: using the equivalent circuit of the overvoltage transmitted by the generator system to calculate the overvoltage transmitted by the generator; converting the overvoltage transmitted by the generator into a secondary value, and determining whether the converted overvoltage transmitted by the generator is lower than the set value for the fundamental zero-sequence stator grounding protection to operate.
[0057] Specifically, the transmission of overvoltage can be based on Figure 2 The equivalent circuit shown is used for verification, based on Figure 2 The equivalent circuit shown can be used to calculate the transmitted overvoltage of the generator using the following formula:
[0058] Continuing with the example above, X C and X M The following formulas can be used to calculate them respectively:
[0059]
[0060] Therefore, substituting into the above formula X C and X M Grounding device parameters and The transferred overvoltage U0 can be calculated to be 41.8V, which translates to a secondary value of 0.33V. Therefore, this transferred overvoltage is far below the operating setting of 5V for the fundamental zero-sequence stator grounding protection. Thus, the transferred overvoltage under these design parameters will not cause the protection to malfunction, meeting the requirements.
[0061] In one embodiment of this application, the neutral point displacement voltage of the generator is checked, including: calculating the neutral point displacement voltage of the generator using the three-phase ground capacitance asymmetry circuit of the generator and the preset single-phase capacitance change rule; converting the neutral point displacement voltage into a secondary value, and determining whether the converted neutral point displacement voltage is within the allowable range.
[0062] Specifically, the neutral point displacement voltage U N According to Figure 3 The circuit shown was verified based on Figure 3 The neutral point displacement voltage of the circuit shown can be calculated using the following formula:
[0063] Continuing with the example above, assuming that the phase B capacitance increases by 5% and the phase C capacitance decreases by 5%, substituting these values into the above formula yields the neutral point displacement voltage U. N =334.6V, which translates to a secondary value of 2.63V, indicating that the neutral point displacement voltage under this parameter selection is within the allowable range.
[0064] Then, simulation analysis was used to calculate the reignition transient overvoltage under intermittent grounding faults to ensure that adding inductance to the secondary side of the neutral grounding transformer would not introduce excessively high reignition transient overvoltages.
[0065] In one embodiment of this application, the verification of the reignition arc transient overvoltage of the generator includes: constructing a large generator circuit model in a circuit simulation application for analyzing the transient overvoltage of a single-phase ground fault in a combined grounding transformer; setting a single-phase ground fault in any phase of the circuit model to obtain the reignition arc transient process voltage waveform during the arc change process; and analyzing whether the peak value of the reignition arc transient overvoltage affects the insulation of the generator windings based on the reignition arc transient process voltage waveform.
[0066] Specifically, this embodiment uses PSpice simulation software for simulation analysis. First, a simulation model is built in PSpice as follows: Figure 4 The circuit model shown.
[0067] In this circuit model, the electromotive force amplitude is calculated using the following formula:
[0068] The resistance value is: The inductance value (using an ultra-transient inductor) is calculated using the following formula: ; The capacitance value is: .
[0069] In this embodiment, it is assumed that an intermittent single-phase ground fault occurs at the generator terminal in phase A. The three-phase voltage waveforms at the generator terminal during the arc ignition-extinguishing-reignition process are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, where, Figure 5 The voltage waveforms during the reignition arc transient process shown represent phases A, B, and C from top to bottom. Figure 5 It can be seen that the first arc extinction time is selected when the fault phase current crosses zero three cycles after the first arc ignition, while the re-arcing time is selected when the fault phase voltage rises to its maximum value. Transient peak overvoltages appeared in both phases B and C during the first and re-arcing. The peak value of the transient overvoltage during the re-arcing was approximately equal to that during the first arc ignition, at about 48.30 kV (2.69 pu). Therefore, the risk of excessively high transient overvoltages during the re-arcing due to the use of a combined grounding method is very small and will not threaten the generator winding insulation.
[0070] Furthermore, assuming that the reignition arc transient overvoltage, transmitted overvoltage, and neutral point displacement voltage all meet the requirements, the ground fault location indication angle is calculated based on the parameters of the relevant generator and grounding transformer determined in the above embodiments. Based on the simulation calculation results of the generator fundamental zero-sequence equivalent circuit or the waveform recording data of the stator grounding fault case in the field, the positioning indicator angle in the "graphical method" is determined. The determined vector The potential of the line and the branch The number of intersection points. Finally, by adjusting the parameters of the grounding transformer, the positioning indicator angle in the "graphical method" is ensured. The determined vector The potential of the line and the branch There is only one intersection point, so as to complete the optimized design of the generator combined grounding transformer and improve the positioning accuracy to the fault line bar.
[0071] In one embodiment of this application, determining the number of intersections between the line containing the vector determined by the positioning indicator angle in the graphical method and the branch potential, based on multiple design parameters, includes: converting the leakage resistance, leakage reactance, and parallel resistance values of the secondary side of the combined grounding transformer to the primary side, and calculating the equivalent impedance and equivalent capacitive reactance in the improved fundamental zero-sequence equivalent circuit of the graphical method based on the leakage impedance and grounding resistance of the combined grounding transformer on the primary side; calculating the positioning indicator angle based on the equivalent impedance and equivalent capacitive reactance; and determining the number of intersections between the line containing the vector determined by the positioning indicator angle and the branch potential using the graphical method based on the simulation calculation results of the fundamental zero-sequence equivalent circuit or historical waveform data of the stator grounding fault site.
[0072] Continuing with the example above, based on the transformation ratio of the grounding transformer, by referring the leakage impedance and grounding resistance of the grounding transformer to the primary side, the following parameters can be calculated: , , , .
[0073] Furthermore, using the aforementioned parameters of the primary side, the following formula can be used to deduce... Figure 6 The equivalent impedance and equivalent capacitive reactance in the improved fundamental zero-sequence equivalent circuit shown are as follows: ; ; Then calculate the ground fault location indicator angle using the following formula. : .
[0074] Then, to Figure 7 The recorded waveform data of the on-site grounding fault case shown was analyzed according to... Figure 7 The stator ground fault three-phase voltage recording data shown indicates that after the ground fault occurred, the voltage of phase B to ground decreased, while the voltages of phases A and C to ground increased, thus identifying the faulty phase as phase B. Based on the generator stator winding connection method, the potential distribution of phase B can be obtained. Using the phase B potential as the reference vector, i.e., Then we can obtain: .
[0075] Finally, according to Figure 8 The graphical method shown determines the vector. The potential of the line and the branch There is only one intersection point, and the location of the ground fault can be determined: 72.4%. Further calculation of the transition resistance value is then performed. The following formula can be used in this calculation process:
[0076] .
[0077] Furthermore, more precise fault location can be achieved based on the above embodiments. In one embodiment of this application, after determining the number of intersections between the straight line containing the vector determined by the location indicator angle and the branch potential using a graphical method, the method further includes: calculating the ground fault location and transition resistance value, and determining the fault bar corresponding to the ground fault location by combining the generator stator winding connection diagram.
[0078] Continuing with the example above, based on the ground fault location already determined in the above embodiments to be 72.4%, etc., combined with... Figure 9 The generator stator winding connection diagram shown below indicates that the specific fault location is from the upper layer bar of slot 178 to the lower layer bar of slot 154, resulting in the fault location results shown in Table 2 below: Table 2 Fault Location Results
[0079] Therefore, based on the quantitative calculations and verifications in the above embodiments, the design of this combined grounding transformer can effectively limit the single-phase ground fault current within the safe current range, while ensuring that the transmitted overvoltage, neutral point displacement voltage, and reignition arc overvoltage during intermittent ground faults are all within the allowable range. Furthermore, the appropriate positioning indicator angle value is beneficial for improving the stator ground fault location accuracy. In other embodiments, if the conditions are not met, it is necessary to adjust the parameters of the grounding transformer to change the positioning indicator angle. Ensure vector The potential of the line and the branch There is one and only one intersection point.
[0080] In summary, the generator-combined grounding transformer optimization design method of this application, which balances ground fault location accuracy, introduces an inductive component to compensate for the generator's inherent capacitance current to meet the safe ground fault current value. Through optimized design of the grounding transformer parameters, it ensures that the straight line containing the vector determined by the fault location indicator angle intersects the branch potential at exactly one point. Therefore, this method, based on optimized design of the neutral point grounding transformer parameters of a large generator, improves the location accuracy of stator ground faults, reduces location errors, significantly shortens fault investigation time, and improves the stability of fault location, thus enhancing generator maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, the combined grounding transformer designed by this method can meet the fault current safety limit, effectively suppressing various overvoltage risks and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the generator.
[0081] To achieve the above embodiments, this application also proposes a generator-combined grounding transformer optimization design system that takes into account the accuracy of grounding fault location. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an optimized design for a generator-combined grounding transformer that takes into account the accuracy of grounding fault location, as proposed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 As shown, the system includes: The first calculation module 100 is used to calculate the inherent capacitance current of the generator based on various parameters of the generator to be optimized, and to determine the safe current for a single-phase ground fault in the generator stator.
[0082] The second calculation module 200 is used to introduce inductor current to compensate for the inherent capacitor current. Based on the design principle that the resistance current is equal to a preset multiple of the compensated capacitor current, the resistance current and the inductor current are calculated using the inherent capacitor current and the safety current.
[0083] The determination module 300 is used to determine various design parameters of the generator-combined grounding transformer based on the resistance current and the inductance current. These various design parameters are used to ensure that the single-phase ground fault current is within the safe current range. The various design parameters include the inductance value and resistance value of the combined grounding transformer.
[0084] The verification and adjustment module 400 is used to verify the overvoltage transmitted by the generator, the neutral point displacement voltage, and the transient overvoltage of the reignition arc. Based on multiple design parameters, it determines the number of intersection points between the straight line containing the vector determined by the positioning indicator angle in the graphical method and the branch potential, and adjusts multiple design parameters to make the number of intersection points one.
