Prediction Capability

A high-voltage circuit breaker is an indispensable piece of equipment in the electric transmission and distribution systems. Transonic flow typically occurs inside breaking chamber during the current interruption, which determines the insulating characteristics of gas. Therefore, accurate compressible flow simulations are required to improve the prediction of the breakdown voltages in various test duties of high-voltage circuit breakers. In this work, investigation of the impact of the solvers on the prediction capability of the breakdown voltages in capacitive switching is presented. For this purpose, a number of compressible nozzle flow validation cases have been presented. The investigation is then further extended for a real high-voltage circuit breaker geometry. The correlation between the flow prediction accuracy and the breakdown voltage prediction capability is identified.

High Voltage Circuit Breaker

In this article, we take a 126 kV single-break vacuum circuit breaker as the research object and study the application of high-energy-density PM motor in the high-voltage circuit breaker for the first time. The PM motor maintains maximum power density and torque density during the start-up phase. Note that most of the faults of high-voltage circuit breakers are mechanical faults. We designed a set of mechanical fault prediction systems for high-voltage circuit breakers. We present the prediction method of the opening and closing action curve of the high-voltage circuit breaker. It is inspired by Chaos Ant Colony Algorithm (CAS) and an optimized Long- and Short-Term Memory (LSTM) cycle neural network. We constructed the main structure of the neural network expert system and established the fault prediction model of the high-voltage circuit breaker, based on the LSTM cycle neural network, optimized by CAS. We used the improved least-square method to achieve the operation accuracy of the phase control switch. Finally, we completed the development and experiment of the prototype.

High voltage circuit breaker is one of the most significant devices and its health status will impact security of the power system. In this paper, the method of high voltage circuit breakers mechanical fault diagnosis is discussed, fault diagnosis method based on vibration signal is proposed. Firstly, the collected acoustic signals are proceed by blind source separation processing through fast independent component analysis. Then, the acoustic signal feature vector is extracted by improved ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and the residual signal is filtered by fractional differential. Finally, the feature vectors are input into support vector machine (SVM) for fault diagnosis. Experiment shows that the proposed method can get more precise fault classification to high voltage circuit breakers.

The Operating Mechanism

High voltage circuit breaker (CB) is one of the most important components in high voltage circuit. In the process of operation, some kinds of mechanical faults such as jam fault, component deformation and component failure may occur and affect the performance of the circuit breaker. But, generally it is difficult to diagnose these faults. To obtain the characteristics of these faults in the high voltage circuit breaker, in this paper, a simulation method for high voltage circuit breakers is investigated. Firstly, the dynamic models of the operating mechanism of the high voltage circuit breaker are established and the simulations are performed; then the vibration signals at the monitoring points can be obtained based on finite element simulation. Based on these signals, the characteristics of some typical mechanical faults may be researched. The work in this paper is helpful to recognize the failure mechanism of the high voltage circuit breaker and improve the veracity of the fault diagnosis.

The Impact

The most basic transient a circuit breaker needs to suffer during its activity is the transient recovery voltage (TRV), started by the electric force system as a characteristic response on flow interference. To test high voltage CBs, direct testing utilizing the force system or short out alternators are not practical. The testing of high voltage Circuit Breakers (CBs) of bigger limit requires huge limit of testing station. An equal infusion of short out current and transient voltage to medium and high voltage circuit breaker (CB) by a synthetic model is examined. Transient recovery voltage is made by a capacitor bank and is applied to CB. An optical set off spark gap has been utilized to interrupt short circuit and to introduce of transient recovery voltage that is applied across the contacts of circuit breaker. Transient recovery voltage examination can never be done totally, as the advancement of circuit breaker development and organization configuration goes on. The most widely recognized way to deal with TRV examination is concerning the supposed planned TRV, in which a suspicion of dismissing association between circuit breaker itself and the innate system recovery voltage is being made. Notwithstanding, it actually is by all accounts qualified to examine what circuit breaker means for transient recovery voltage. An ideal grouping to open/close of reinforcement test article and helper circuit breakers inside suitable chance to infuse of recovery voltage. The impact of reactance of inductive flaw current limiter just as distance to blame in short line issue condition on pace of ascent of recovery voltage. A 4-boundaries TRV synthetic test circuit dependent on equal current infusion technique is planned and mimicked for testing 145kV rating circuit-breakers according to new TRV prerequisites given in IEC 62271-100.
