Description

An online detection device and method for inter-turn short circuit of a PT at the outlet of an injection generator. Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power detection and protection technology, and specifically relates to an online detection device and method for inter-turn short circuit of a power supply transformer (PT) at the outlet of an injection generator. Background Technology

[0002] The generator outlet PT (Potential Transformer) plays a crucial role in metering, excitation, and protection of the generator outlet voltage. However, due to factors such as operating environment and manufacturing processes, unplanned generator shutdowns caused by inter-turn short circuits in the generator outlet PT occur frequently. Literature review results indicate that between 2010 and 2020, more than 50 inter-turn short circuit faults occurred in the primary winding of generator outlet PTs in several provinces. Therefore, researching online detection technology for inter-turn short circuits in generator outlet PTs can improve the detection effect of insulation faults in generator outlet PTs, significantly reduce the risk of abnormal generator shutdowns, and is of great significance for ensuring safe power production and the economic benefits of power generation enterprises.

[0003] Existing methods for detecting inter-turn short-circuit faults in generator outlet PTs mainly include DC resistance measurement, no-load current measurement, and induced withstand voltage testing. While these traditional methods are adequate for detecting main insulation defects in the generator outlet PTs, they suffer from poor sensitivity in detecting inter-turn short-circuit faults. Furthermore, the inspection of the inter-turn insulation condition of the generator outlet PTs must be performed after the generator is shut down, which is detrimental to the timely and effective detection of insulation defects, resulting in low efficiency and poor accuracy.

[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN112526306A discloses a generator outlet-side voltage transformer insulation status monitoring system, comprising: sensors for detecting the power frequency current signal of each winding, the high-frequency current signal of the primary winding, and the power frequency output voltage signal of the winding; a data conditioning module for conditioning the sensor signals and converting them into an AD input voltage range; a data acquisition module for simultaneously acquiring the conditioned sensor signals through different channels; and a data analysis and processing module for monitoring the insulation status of the generator outlet-side voltage transformer based on the change in excitation current and the change in the phase angle difference between the excitation current vector and the power frequency output voltage vector. This invention involves multiple sensors and modules, including a data conditioning module, a data acquisition module, and a data analysis and processing module. This complexity may lead to high design, installation, and maintenance costs; and when the phase angle difference between the excitation current and the power frequency output voltage is small, it may lead to misjudgment of the fault type.

[0030] The voltage source 1 is connected to the secondary side of the generator output PT via a bandpass filter 2 and a switch 3. The secondary side of the generator output PT converts the high-voltage side voltage to the low-voltage side and supplies it to the measurement, protection and monitoring system. The resistor divider 4 is connected in parallel to the secondary side of the generator output PT. The current transformer 5 is connected in series in the power supply circuit of the voltage source 1. The microcomputer system 6 is connected to the output of the resistor divider 4 and the current transformer 5 and is used to process and analyze data, determine whether there is a fault in the output PT and issue an alarm.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the voltage source 1 is a sinusoidal AC power supply with a frequency of 30Hz and an amplitude of 5V. The switch 3 is a controllable element, controlled by the microcomputer system 6 to turn on and off.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the bandpass filter 2 is a passive filter with the same center frequency as the voltage source 1, a bandwidth requirement of 29~31Hz, and an out-of-band rejection ratio requirement of greater than -20dB / octave, in order to increase the signal-to-noise ratio and improve the accuracy of the measurement.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the resistor voltage divider 4 has a measurement frequency range of DC to 1 kHz, a voltage range of 0 to 100 V, a voltage division ratio of 20:1, and an accuracy greater than 0.1%.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the microcomputer system 6 is a processing system based on STM32F103, with a sampling frequency of 7.15MHz and a sampling resolution of 1mV.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Accordingly, this embodiment provides an online detection method for inter-turn short circuit of the PT at the outlet of an injection generator. The method is based on the online detection device for inter-turn short circuit of the PT at the outlet of the injection generator described in Embodiment 1, and includes the following steps:

[0038] S1: Connect the generator outlet PT inter-turn short circuit online detection device in parallel to the secondary winding of the generator outlet PT, wherein the secondary winding of the generator outlet PT refers to the circuit part that converts high voltage to standard low voltage (such as 100V).

[0039] S2: The microcomputer system 6 collects and measures the power frequency voltage amplitude of the generator terminal voltage (i.e., the voltage at the generator output terminal, usually the voltage across the generator stator winding) through the resistor voltage divider 4 and after PT conversion, and determines whether the generator terminal voltage at the generator outlet is the rated voltage. If the requirements are met, the switch is closed.

[0040] S3: The microcomputer system 6 acquires and measures the AC voltage signal of the power supply circuit through the resistor voltage divider 4. The current signal of the power supply circuit is collected and measured through current transformer 5. .

[0041] S4: The microcomputer system 6 calculates the power supply circuit impedance value based on the collected voltage and current signals. If the power supply circuit impedance Less than the set value Then, the microcomputer system 6 issues a short-circuit alarm signal between the generator outlet PT turns. The circuit impedance value... The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0042]

[0043] In the formula, The signal is the AC voltage signal of the loop. This is the loop current signal.

[0044] This embodiment further explains the online detection method for inter-turn short circuits of the generator outlet PT. As shown in Figure 2, after an inter-turn short circuit occurs at the generator outlet PT, the calculated circuit impedance value is viewed from the secondary winding. The theoretical value consists of three parts connected in parallel: the impedance value of the primary winding referred to the secondary winding. Secondary load impedance The impedance value after referring the inter-turn short circuit portion of the primary winding to the secondary side The impedance value of the primary winding referred to the secondary winding. Secondary load impedance The impedance value after referring the inter-turn short circuit portion of the primary winding to the secondary side These are inherent parameters of the power system.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of this example, the set value The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0046]

[0047] In the formula, The impedance value is calculated from the primary winding of the generator outlet PT to the secondary side. This is the secondary-side load impedance; This is the reliability coefficient.

[0048] Due to the impedance value of the inter-turn short circuit section of the primary winding of the generator outlet PT Very small, the calculated value of the loop impedance after the generator outlet PT inter-turn short circuit. It is much smaller than the set value. This triggers the microcomputer system 6 to issue a short-circuit alarm signal between the generator outlet PT turns.

[0049] It should be noted that: to prevent false triggering of the generator outlet PT inter-turn short circuit alarm signal, the set value is... The reliability factor needs to be considered during the calculation. Generally, the reliability factor is... The value range is 0.5 to 0.7.
