Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power system technology, specifically to a DC bias suppression system for multiple transformers sharing a neutral point. Background Technology
[0002] A series of high-voltage projects have been completed. When a DC project operates in monopolar mode, a large DC current flows into the ground through the grounding electrode, causing changes in the grounding electrode potential of surrounding substations, thus creating a potential difference. The DC current flows from the transmission line through the ground to the transformer neutral point, causing a DC component in the transformer and resulting in DC bias magnetization.
[0003] Exceeding the transformer's tolerance range with DC bias current can cause a rapid saturation of the transformer core's magnetic flux, increasing magnetic flux leakage, core losses, and copper losses. This can lead to overheating, insulation damage, reduced transformer lifespan, and even transformer failure. Simultaneously, DC bias current can severely distort the excitation current, generating numerous harmonics, affecting power quality, increasing reactive power losses in the power system, and resulting in enhanced vibration and significantly increased noise during transformer operation.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to address the issue of excessive DC bias current in transformers and resolve its impact on transformers and power systems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a DC bias suppression system for multiple transformers sharing a neutral point, which solves the problem of excessive DC bias current, suppresses DC bias current, protects the normal operation of transformers and power systems, and has the advantage of low cost.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A multi-transformer shared neutral point DC bias suppression system is characterized by the following: it includes multiple main transformers, whose neutral points are interconnected and connected to a single DC bias suppression device; the neutral point is the neutral point of either the high-voltage winding or the low-voltage winding of the main transformer; a second disconnecting switch is provided between the neutral point and the DC bias suppression device, the second disconnecting switch being connected in parallel with the neutral point and in series with the DC bias suppression device; a first disconnecting switch, an air gap, a current transformer, and a surge arrester are provided between the second disconnecting switch and the main transformer, the air gap and the current transformer being connected in series and connected in parallel with the first disconnecting switch and the surge arrester, and the first disconnecting switch, the air gap, and the surge arrester are all connected to the neutral point and the second disconnecting switch. This wiring scheme allows the transformer neutral point to operate in three states: ungrounded, directly grounded, or grounded through a DC blocking device, and enables switching between these three states.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the first disconnecting switch or the neutral point of the main transformer is connected to the second disconnecting switch via an overhead flexible conductor. Connecting the first and second disconnecting switches and the transformer neutral point together using an overhead flexible conductor offers advantages such as convenient wiring, high safety, and ease of maintenance. Only one additional second disconnecting switch is needed per main transformer to achieve a multi-transformer shared neutral point DC bias suppression system wiring system, offering advantages such as cost savings, simple wiring, and convenient operation.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the stationary contact of the second disconnecting switch is located on the neutral point side of the main transformer, and the moving contact is located on the side where the DC bias suppression device is located. The transformer neutral point is the energized side, and the side where the DC bias suppression device is located is the grounded side. Placing the moving contact on the grounded side ensures that the potential of the moving contact is ground potential when it operates, which can effectively improve the safety of the closing / opening operation of the second disconnecting switch.
[0010] Furthermore, the second disconnecting switch is connected to the high-voltage side of the DC bias suppression device, and the low-voltage side of the DC bias suppression device is grounded. By connecting the second disconnecting switch to the high-voltage side of the DC bias suppression device, the DC bias current on the transformer can be effectively introduced into the DC bias suppression device for suppression.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the second disconnecting switch is connected to the DC bias suppression device by a power cable.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the DC bias suppression device can be a resistive DC bias suppression device, a capacitive DC bias suppression device, or other DC bias suppression devices; when it is a resistive DC bias suppression device, its resistance can be adjusted. By setting an adjustable resistor, the DC bias current on the transformer can be suppressed by adjusting the resistance value, so as to ensure that the DC current flowing through the transformer neutral point is within the transformer's tolerance range, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the transformer and the power system.
[0013] Furthermore, the resistance of the resistive DC bias suppression device can be adjusted within a range of 0 to 5 Ω.
[0014] As a preferred option, the second disconnecting switch is installed on the equipment bracket at a height of not less than 2.5 meters. According to the requirements for outdoor power distribution equipment layout, the lowest point of the insulation of outdoor equipment should be at least 2.5 meters above the ground; otherwise, a fixed barrier should be installed.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the DC bias suppression device is mounted on the equipment base.
[0016] Furthermore, the foundation height of the equipment is 0.2 to 0.5 meters. This is based on the installation requirements and maintenance requirements of the DC bias magnetizer foundation, which are set between 0.2 and 0.5 meters.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] This utility model provides a DC bias suppression system for a shared neutral point of multiple transformers, which achieves the effect of controlling DC bias of multiple transformers, reduces the DC current flowing through the neutral point of the transformer to a range that the transformer can withstand, protects the normal operation of the transformer and the power system, and has the advantages of low cost and simple operation.
