Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of charge dissipation technology, specifically a system and working method for dissipating surface charges of insulators. Background Technology

[0002] Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) is a core component of DC transmission systems, and its operational reliability directly impacts grid security. The pot-type insulator, as the most critical insulating component in DC GIS, performs multiple functions, including isolating the gas chamber, supporting the conductor, and providing insulation to ground.

[0003] Under long-term unipolar voltage operation, charged particles gradually accumulate on the surface of DC GIS insulators, distorting the surface electric field and easily inducing surface flashover, seriously threatening equipment safety. Existing methods are insufficient to dynamically and actively suppress charge accumulation during long-term operation.

[0004] Current approaches to addressing surface charge accumulation in insulators primarily focus on optimizing insulator material formulations and improving structural design to achieve a uniform electric field. These methods all address the insulator's inherent or passive physical characteristics. The closest existing technology is Chinese patent CN114038636A, "Device for Reducing Surface Charge Accumulation in Basin-Type Insulators." This device involves installing an open pipe clamp on the outer pipe of a basin-type insulator. A pair of magnet mounting seats are fixed to the side wall of the clamp, and a pair of ring magnets are mounted on the mounting seats via shock-absorbing damping pads to form a fixed magnetic field, attempting to reduce charge accumulation through the magnetic field.

[0005] The aforementioned existing technologies use permanent magnets as magnetic field generating devices, which can only produce a constant magnetic field. The presence and strength of the magnetic field cannot be adjusted or shut off in real time according to the actual operating conditions of the DC GIS (such as voltage level, load changes, ambient temperature and humidity), lacking proactive controllability and making it difficult to adapt to the charge dispersal effect requirements under different operating conditions. Overall, existing technologies lack a dynamically adjustable and proactively intervened charge dispersal solution. Summary of the Invention

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a system for dispersing surface charge on insulators, including a local AC power supply for a converter station, a rectifier, a damping circuit, at least one switching module, at least one dispersing device, and a controller.

[0025] The local AC power supply of the converter station is a standard low-voltage AC power supply within the converter station, and its output terminal is connected to the AC input terminal of the rectifier. The DC output terminal of the rectifier is connected to the input terminal of the damping circuit. The output terminal of the damping circuit is connected in parallel to the input terminals of multiple switching modules. The output terminal of each switching module is connected to the input and output terminals of the excitation coil in a dissipation device. The controller has a first control signal output terminal and a second control signal output terminal. The first control signal output terminal is connected to the control port of the rectifier and is used to adjust the magnitude of the DC current output by the rectifier; the second control signal output terminal is connected to the control terminal of each switching module and is used to independently control the opening or closing of each switching module.

[0026] In this embodiment, the rectifier converts AC power to DC power, and its output current is continuously adjustable over a wide range. The rectifier employs a phase-controlled rectification or PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) rectification topology, and the controller sends a current adjustment signal to the rectifier via analog or digital communication. A damping circuit, composed of resistors and inductors, is connected in series between the rectifier's positive output terminal and the switching module's input bus. It absorbs the reverse overvoltage generated when the excitation coil is de-energized, preventing the overvoltage from damaging the switching module or rectifier devices. The switching module uses DC contactors or solid-state DC switches, and each switch is independently controlled by the controller.

[0027] A single system can connect multiple switching modules and discharge devices in parallel to achieve simultaneous charge discharge of multiple basin insulators in a DC GIS. The discharge devices do not interfere with each other, and the start and stop of one discharge device does not affect the normal operation of other discharge devices.

[0028] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the dispersing device includes an excitation coil 1, a damping pad 4, a sealing shell 5, and a crescent plate 6.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the excitation coil 1 is made of copper wire wrapped in insulation and has a hollow semi-circular structure. The coil is wound with multiple turns, and the number of turns and wire diameter are determined according to the required ampere-turns to ensure that sufficient magnetic field strength is generated under the rated excitation current. Figure 3 The excitation coil is shown encased in an insulating material with a high temperature resistance rating, and the inter-turn withstand voltage meets the requirements of DC high voltage. The coil retains coil inlet wire 2 and coil outlet wire 3, which are used to connect to the power supply circuit.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the coil is encased and shaped by a damping pad 4. The damping pad 4 is made of an elastomer material, with an internal semi-circular cavity that matches the shape of the coil. The damping pad serves two purposes: first, it absorbs the mechanical vibration generated by the electromagnetic force when the coil is energized, reducing operating noise; second, it provides an elastic buffer between the coil and the sealed outer shell, preventing wear or insulation damage caused by hard contact.

[0031] like Figure 5As shown, the sealing housing 5 has a semi-circular structure, and its hollow interior is filled with damping and shock-absorbing pads 4 and excitation coil 1. The sealing housing 5 is made of non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant metal or high-strength engineering plastic. The sealing housing 5 has two outlets in the middle for the coil inlet 2 and coil outlet 3 to be led out. Waterproof connectors or rubber sleeves are provided at the outlets to prevent dust and moisture from entering. Each side of the sealing housing 5 has a threaded hole. The semi-circular half-moon plate 6 has a through hole on each side, which is connected to the threaded holes of the sealing housing 5 by bolts, forming a complete circular ring with the sealing housing 5. The inner diameter of this circular ring is adapted to the outer diameter of the outer ring of the basin-type insulator metal flange, allowing the dispersing device to fit tightly onto the flange outer ring.

[0032] Figure 6 The assembly relationship between the sealing housing 5, the crescent plate 6, and the metal flange of the pot-type insulator is further illustrated. The crescent plate 6 is attached to the outer edge of the flange, and after being tightened with bolts, there is no relative displacement between the entire dispersing device and the flange. Figure 7 The overall appearance of the dispersing device mounted on the basin insulator is shown, with the arc-shaped direction of the excitation coil 1 being concentric and adjacent to the surface contour of the insulator.

[0033] Based on the above system, the present invention provides a working method for dispersing surface charge of an insulator, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Power Supply and Rectification The converter station's local AC power supply outputs AC power, which is rectified into DC power by a rectifier. The controller outputs a current regulation signal to the rectifier's control port based on on-site operating conditions (such as DC GIS voltage level, load current, and ambient humidity) to adjust the magnitude of the rectifier's output DC current. In this embodiment, the controller can use a conventional adjustment algorithm to stabilize the output current at a set target value. The rectified DC current is then fed into a damping circuit.

[0034] Step S2: Damping and Power Distribution The damping circuit attenuates and buffers the current, suppressing the spike overvoltage generated by the line inductance during sudden current changes. The buffered DC current is distributed via the bus and simultaneously delivered to the input terminals of each parallel switching module.

[0035] Step S3: Independent Excitation Control The controller outputs opening and closing signals to the control terminals of each switch module, independently controlling the opening or closing of each module. When a certain dispersing device is required to operate, the controller closes the corresponding switch module, energizing the excitation coil; when the dispersing device is not required, the controller opens the corresponding switch module, de-energizing the excitation coil and eliminating the magnetic field. The state of each switch can be set independently, thereby achieving independent start-stop control of each dispersing device and adapting to the differentiated charge accumulation conditions of insulators at different locations on site.

[0036] Step S4: Magnetic field generation and charge dissipation like Figure 7 As shown, the dispersing device, through the circular ring formed by the semi-circular plate 6 and the sealing shell 5, fits around the outer ring of the metal flange of the basin-type insulator 7. The arc-shaped direction of the excitation coil 1 is concentric and close to the surface contour of the insulator. When the excitation coil is energized, a magnetic field is generated based on the principle of electromagnetism.

[0037] like Figure 8 As shown, after the coil is energized, a local magnetic field parallel to the insulator surface is formed in the region of the insulator surface directly opposite the coil. The arrows in the figure indicate the direction of the magnetic field lines. The direction of the magnetic field lines is parallel to the insulator surface and perpendicular to the direction of movement of space charges.

[0038] During the long-term operation of DC GIS, a large number of free charges (positive ions or electrons) exist in the space due to phenomena such as micro-discharge, conductor particle agitation, and electrode emission. Under the influence of a unipolar electric field, these charges migrate towards the insulator surface at a velocity approximately perpendicular to the insulator surface (normal direction). When the aforementioned magnetic field parallel to the insulator surface... Once established, the moving charge q will be subjected to a Lorentz force:

[0039] in, The amount of charge of the moving charge. Let be the vector of the Lorentz force acting on the moving charge. Let be the velocity vector of the charge relative to the magnetic field.

[0040] According to the right-hand rule, the direction of the Lorentz force is perpendicular to both the velocity and magnetic field directions, therefore it must point tangentially to the insulator surface (i.e., parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the original incident direction). This tangential force deflects the charges that were originally moving perpendicularly to the surface, causing them to deviate from their original trajectory towards the insulator surface, thus reducing or even preventing direct charge deposition on the insulator surface. Simultaneously, the deflected charges move tangentially along the insulator surface, further promoting the redistribution and neutralization of the accumulated charge. Because the hollow semi-circular structure of the excitation coil in this invention is tightly attached to the outer ring of the flange, the magnetic field it generates is mainly distributed in the annular region near the flange on the insulator surface, which is precisely the area where charge accumulation is most severe. By directionally dispersing the charge in this region, local electric field distortion can be significantly improved, reducing the probability of surface flashover.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the DC current output by the rectifier is continuously adjustable within a certain range. In practical applications, when the DC GIS is under low load or in a clean environment, the current can be adjusted to a smaller value to maintain basic dispersal capability; when under high load, high humidity, or when there is known active particulate matter, the current can be adjusted to a larger value to enhance the magnetic field strength and improve the dispersal effect. The controller can preset the correspondence between the current value and the operating conditions through the host computer software to achieve automatic adjustment.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the switching module is a DC switch. This embodiment selects a DC contactor whose rated voltage and current meet engineering requirements, and the electromagnetic coil is driven by the relay output of the controller. The auxiliary contacts of the switching module feed back the status to the controller, achieving closed-loop monitoring.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the local AC power supply of the converter station is taken from the station's power supply system, eliminating the need for an additional dedicated power supply and reducing system deployment costs.

[0044] In one possible implementation, after the excitation coil is energized, a local magnetic field parallel to the insulator surface is formed on the surface of the insulator directly opposite the coil, with the magnetic field lines parallel to the insulator surface. In this embodiment, the turns distribution and ampere-turns of the excitation coil are optimized through finite element simulation, so that in the region of the insulator surface directly opposite the coil, the tangential component of the magnetic field lines dominates, while the normal component is very small, thereby maximizing the dispersing effect of the Lorentz force.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the direction of the magnetic field lines is perpendicular to the direction of space charge movement. Since the electric field direction in a DC GIS is approximately perpendicular to the insulator surface, positive ions move along the electric field direction, and electrons move against the electric field direction; both their velocity directions are perpendicular to the insulator surface. The magnetic field direction of this invention is designed to be tangential, therefore the angle between the magnetic field lines and the charge movement direction is close to 90°, maximizing the Lorentz force and achieving the highest dissipation efficiency.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the DC current output by the rectifier is within a preferred range. This current range has been experimentally verified: when the current is too low, the magnetic field strength is insufficient to effectively deflect high-speed moving charges; when the current is too high, the coil heating increases significantly, requiring additional heat dissipation measures. Therefore, a reasonable selection of the current range can balance the dissipation effect with engineering feasibility.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the controller independently controls the opening or closing of any single switch module, enabling independent start / stop of a designated dispersing device. In engineering applications, if a basin-type insulator is under maintenance or its chamber has been depressurized, the operator can open the corresponding switch module of that dispersing device via the human-machine interface, preventing energy waste and temperature rise caused by prolonged coil energization. Simultaneously, dispersing devices in other locations can continue to operate normally without interference.

[0048] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.
