Electromechanical Joint Analysis for Switching Procedure of Vacuum On-Load Tap Changer in UHV Converter Transformer
摘要
Abstract
As one of the key components of a UHV converter transformer
the suitable switching condition of the vacuum on-load tap changer (OLTC) is essential for the stability of the power system. It is highly desirable to interpret OLTC's switching procedure to assess OLTC's switching condition. However
such work can't be solved by vibration analysis alone. Therefore
this paper proposes an innovative electromechanical comprehensive analysis method. First
a joint motor drive current
vibration
and electromagnetic signals online monitoring system is established and deployed in a VRG type OLTC in ±800 kV converter station. Second
independent component analysis (ICA)
dynamic time warping (DTW)
and wavelet transform (WT) are used for processing motor current
UHFCT
and vibration signals
respectively
to extract electromechanical pulses corresponding to OLTC's contact actions. Third
the switching procedure of OLTC is revealed by comprehensively analyzing the corresponding time relationship between these extracted pulses
combined with OLTC's timing sequence. The methodologies developed in this paper can help to interpret OLTC's switching procedure for deeper and finer online condition assessment.
