The invention belongs to the field of
power system simulation and particularly relates to a method for simulating a three-dimensional
electric field on a valve side of a converter
transformer. For an existing situation that the researches on the
electric field of the converter
transformer most focus on two-dimensional
electric field modeling analysis and rarely focus on three-
dimensional modeling analysis, the invention takes the building of a three-dimensional model of major insulation of the converter
transformer as a core and proposes a method for simulating a direct-
current electric field of a valve side winding of the converter transformer by considering the nonlinearity and
anisotropy of a material. The method comprises the steps of firstly, building the three-dimensional model of the end part of the winding of the converter transformer by utilizing
finite element analysis software ANSYS, and performing grid division on the three-dimensional model; secondly, writing a nonlinear anisotropic direct-
current electric field computing program by utilizing a
secondary development APDL module of ANSYS; and finally, setting a boundary condition, initial resistivity and a loading test
voltage, and computing the three-dimensional electric field. According to the method for simulating the three-dimensional electric field on the valve side of the converter transformer by considering the nonlinearity and
anisotropy, provided by the invention, a method is provided for improving the precision of simulating the electric field of the converter transformer.
