Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of reactors for power supply and distribution systems, and is applicable to reactors for AC 6kV-66kV power supply and distribution systems, and specifically relates to an energy self-compensating reactor which recovers magnetic energy generated and discarded by the reactor to compensate for its own energy consumption. Background Art

[0002] Overview of Reactor Applications and Problems

[0003] (1) Function and use

[0004] The function of the reactor is to limit current and filter, etc. The structural forms are divided into air-core reactors and iron-core reactors, and the parameter design is determined according to factors such as system impedance; the wiring method is divided into series and parallel according to the purpose and grid environment conditions. The series connection is used to limit short-circuit current and magnetizing inrush current, and is generally connected in series to the transformer circuit and capacitor circuit. The first function is to prevent the circuit breaker from exploding due to insufficient interruption capacity, the second is to prevent equipment such as transformers or generators from being damaged under huge current shocks, and the third is to prevent the magnetizing inrush current in the capacitor circuit from expanding accidents. Parallel wiring is mainly used for filtering, etc., and its function is to provide inductance components for the filtering device.

[0005] (2) Existing problems

[0006] The main problem with reactors is their high energy consumption. Since the essence of reactors is inductance coils, there is a problem of the reactor consuming a large amount of electrical energy under the action of alternating magnetic fields. The process of air-core reactors consuming electrical energy is to convert electrical energy into magnetic energy and release it into the atmosphere. During this period, a small amount of magnetic energy also acts on the self-inductance or mutual inductance of the coil, and then converts it into heat energy. As for the degree of harm to personal safety and the environment caused by the strong magnetic field released into the atmosphere, it does not belong to the research content of this technology and will not be discussed. The process of iron-core reactors consuming electrical energy is also to convert electrical energy into magnetic energy, but the magnetic energy does not diffuse into the atmosphere, but is sealed in a metal casing and consumed in a self-circulating manner in a closed iron core.

[0007] The energy consumption values ​​of various reactors are different, which are closely related to factors such as reactance rate and voltage. According to the data disclosed by multiple reactor manufacturers, taking 10kV, 35kV and 66kV reactors as examples:

[0008] The voltage level of a series reactor is 10kV, the rated current is 3000A, the reactance rate is 12%, and the loss is 56.52kW.

[0009] The voltage level of a certain shunt reactor is 35kV, the rated current is 742A, the rated reactance is 27.2Ω, and the loss is 59kW.

[0010] The voltage level of a certain shunt reactor is 66kV, the rated current is 525A, the rated reactance is 72.6Ω, and the loss is 70kW.

[0011] 2. Previous improvement methods

[0012] In order to solve the problem of reactor energy consumption, people have conducted a lot of research and exploration. Although there have been some improvements, the problem of power loss has not been completely solved, such as: ① Using copper materials with lower resistivity as conductors to reduce copper loss. At present, current limiting and filtering reactors are widely used. Although it can reduce losses, the reduction is too small, accounting for only about 0.3% of the total loss, which is not enough to solve a large amount of losses; ② Short-circuit reactor plus fast switch method. This method is mainly used for current limiting, specifically short-circuiting the reactor, and setting a fast switch in the short-circuit circuit. Under normal circumstances, it runs by short-circuiting the busbar to avoid the loss of the reactor. When a short circuit occurs in the distribution network, the switch quickly opens, allowing the short-circuit current to run completely through the reactor. After the accident is handled, the short-circuit circuit is restored. If a short circuit accident occurs again, repeat the above action process. Disadvantages: When a short circuit occurs in the distribution network, the short-circuit current completely passes through the reactor when the fast switch is opened, resulting in "cutoff" and "continuous flow", which causes the reactor to work in the state of short circuit and bus voltage reduction, and the bus voltage will be reduced again. In the mild case, the voltage of the entire distribution network will be greatly reduced, and the electric equipment such as motors will trip due to undervoltage (low-voltage motors and other equipment will trip due to low voltage), and the entire distribution network system will be shut down. In the severe case, the current quick-break protection of the switch on the low-voltage side of the main transformer will trip and power off. This type of expanded accident has occurred many times in domestic enterprises, causing heavy losses to production and operation; ③ Use high-impedance transformers to cancel current-limiting reactors. This method is to make the normal low-impedance and low-loss transformer coils into high-impedance and high-loss coils to achieve the purpose of limiting short-circuit current, but the high-impedance coils increase additional energy loss, which greatly increases the power loss on the basis of the original copper loss and iron loss, which is equivalent to transferring the energy consumed by the reactor to the transformer coil. Utility Model Content

[0013] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, the utility model provides an energy consumption self-compensating reactor, the principle of which is to recycle the magnetic energy generated and discarded during the operation of the reactor and convert it back into electrical energy to compensate for the loss of the reactor. Specifically, the reactor is regarded as and concurrently used as the primary coil, and an iron core and a secondary coil are configured at the same time. The iron core recycles the magnetic energy discarded by the reactor and converts it into electrical energy through the secondary coil and incorporates it into the power grid system, thereby completing the recycling of the discarded magnetic energy and compensating for the loss of the reactor.

[0014] The technical solution of the utility model is implemented as follows: the energy consumption self-compensating reactor is mainly composed of a reactor (1), an iron core (2), an auxiliary coil (3), an oil tank and shell (4), a radiator (5), a terminal block (6) and a damping device (7); the reactor (1) is a conventional reactor, and its role, function, parameters, etc. are all designed according to the conventional premise to meet the function of the reactor; the magnetic field energy density, magnetic induction intensity and other parameters of the iron core (2) are configured according to the total amount of magnetic energy generated and discarded by the reactor (1); the capacity of the auxiliary coil (3) is configured according to the total amount of magnetic energy generated and discarded by the reactor (1) converted into electric energy.

[0016] When used for current limiting series connection, the lead-out terminal head ends a1, b1, c1 of the auxiliary coil (3) are respectively connected to the lead-out terminal tail ends A2, B2, C2 of the reactor (1), and the electric energy generated by the auxiliary coil (3) is incorporated into the system power grid. The lead-out terminal tail ends a0, b0, c0 of the auxiliary coil (3) are connected to the damping device (7).

[0017] When used for filtering and parallel wiring, the connecting terminal heads a1, b1, c1 of the auxiliary coil (3) are respectively connected to the lead-out terminal heads A1, B1, C1 of the reactor (1), so that the electric energy of the auxiliary coil (3) is connected to the system power supply side of the reactor (1), and the lead-out terminal tails a0, b0, c0 of the auxiliary coil (3) are connected to the damping device (7).

[0018] Furthermore, the reactor (1), the iron core (2) and the auxiliary coil (3) are placed in a sealed insulating oil tank (4) to reduce the probability of insulation breakdown.

[0019] Furthermore, a radiator (5) is installed on the oil tank-cum-housing (4).

[0020] Furthermore, a damping device (7) is added to solve the problem that the probability of ferromagnetic resonance may increase after adding the iron core, thereby eliminating problems such as resonance and high-frequency arc reignition overvoltage.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effect of recycling the magnetic energy generated and discarded during the operation of the reactor and converting it back into electrical energy to compensate for the loss of the reactor. The reactor is regarded as and used as the primary coil, and an iron core and a secondary coil are configured at the same time. The iron core recycles the magnetic energy discarded by the reactor and converts it into electrical energy through the secondary coil and incorporates it into the power grid system, thereby completing the recycling of the discarded magnetic energy and compensating for the loss of the reactor, solving the technical problem of magnetic energy loss in this field.

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the implementation of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the implementation of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the implementation of the utility model. Obviously, the described implementation is a part of the implementation of the utility model, not all of the implementations. Based on the implementation of the utility model, all other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] See also Figure 1-3The structure of the energy consumption self-compensating reactor is mainly composed of a reactor 1, an iron core 2, a secondary coil 3, an oil tank 4, a radiator 5, a terminal block 6 and a damping device 7. The reactor 1 is a conventional reactor, and its parameters such as voltage, current, and reactance are designed or limited according to the purpose. In the whole set of energy consumption self-compensating reactor, it is regarded as the original coil in order to recover the waste magnetic energy of the iron core 2, so that the secondary coil 3 can convert the waste magnetic energy into electrical energy and incorporate it into the power grid to compensate for energy consumption. The auxiliary coil 3 is a name based on the transformer principle. The actual wiring is completely different from the transformer auxiliary coil and other forms of auxiliary coils. It is a special wiring method for energy consumption self-compensating inductors. The configuration of the oil tank 4 and the radiator 5 is mainly based on factors such as enhanced equipment insulation.

The applicable range of its resistance current to capacitance current is: I R :I C =1:5.67. If the power distribution system is small or the system is large but has been equipped with a device that effectively suppresses resonant overvoltage, it is not necessary to configure the damping device 7. Specifically, the relevant provisions of the current standard DL / T620-1997 "Overvoltage Protection and Insulation Coordination of AC Electrical Equipment" shall be followed.
