Research on Electric Field Detection of Degraded Insulators Based on a Sensitive Detection Method under Complex Operating Conditions
Source abstract
Abstract
Insulators are the basis of the stable operation of transmission lines, and it is particularly important to regularly detect the insulation performance of insulators. After several years of research, contactless space electric field detection technology for degraded insulators, based on an unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) platform, has developed rapidly. However, the existing technology is only limited to the typical vertical/horizontal state research category and cannot apply to complex operating conditions such as attitude disturbance and path tilt. This paper builds a simulation model of insulators at a voltage level of 220 kV by COMSOL finite element software and analyzes the space electric field distribution characteristics of degraded insulators and the influence of different surface conditions, attitude disturbance, path tilt, etc., on the space electric field distribution of insulators. To reduce the error of UAV detection under complex operating conditions of insulators, a method for detecting the electric field of degraded insulators based on sensitive insulators is proposed and verified by experiments. According to the research results, surface conditions of insulators have little influence on their space electric field, while the attitude disturbance and path tilt of UAVs have a great influence on the electric field of insulators. Sensitive insulators at a level of voltage below 220 kV are generally located at the low-voltage end. The principles of sensitive insulators are combined with the space electric field measurement method to measure the space electric field distribution, thus effectively judging whether there are degraded insulators in the string. The method specified in the paper greatly improves the accuracy and detection efficiency of the contactless electric field detection of insulators, which is of great significance for the promotion of the electric field detection method of insulators in practical applications.
