Way of definition of losses of active electric energy in the transformer, based on the control of temperature without current measurement in windings

 

The provisions. The expressions are resulted, allowing to spend an estimation of losses for a non-uniform operating mode of the transformer on the basis of the decision of the differential equation of thermal balance with definition of separate parametres of the transformer on its rating data. An experimental research of the received expression with application of exact gauges 0,6 % not exceeding on the average have shown a sufficient applicable error of definition of losses on the temperature measurements. The function chart of the counter of losses is resulted and the reference to the registered computer program using the received expression is given.

 

Key words: power savings, the counter of losses, technical losses of the electric power, the transformer, òon-uniform load pattern, losses of active electric energy, heat account differential equation, thermal time constant of the transformer, losses of idling of the transformer, losses of short circuit of the transformer.

 

Now the problem of an energy conservation and increase of power efficiency from the branch has turned to the state. The energy conservation is the directed complex of the measures which main objective is reduction of volume of the energy consumed from external sources [1]. The municipal loadings which are, as a rule, single-phase and leading stray load losses, arising owing to a deviation of merit numbers of the electric power from standard meanings have considerably increased [2]. The electric energy lost in the transformer in the course of transformation of an alternating current, is allocated in the form of heat in windings, magnetic system and other parts of the transformer [3].

At real loadings transformer loading changes, owing to what the size of losses changes. In this connection at definition of losses of the electric power it is necessary to find power loss in the transformer on each i-th time interval dt. For each element of a design under the formula resulted in [4]:

,                         (1)

where Θi+1 – temperature of a separate device of the transformer in the end of an interval dt.

Θi – temperature of a separate device of the transformer;

T – the transformer heating time constant;

ΔPn – total nominal losses of active power in the transformer

Θn – the erected temperature of the transformer in the nominal condition.

Total losses of active power in the transformer in time dt develop of losses in each n-th element of the transformer:

.

Losses of electric energy in time dt:

.

Summation of losses for each interval of time gives the general losses in the transformer for a required interval of time at any load pattern.

For the purpose of inspection of working capacity of the expression (1) adapted for the dry transformer, experiment on the single-phase dry transformer with use of the measuring equipment, passed metrological checking has been made. Temperature sensor of the transformer have been fixed on magnetic system and a winding, the sensor for measurement of an ambient temperature near to the transformer also has been provided.

By means of the block of active and inductive loading for the transformer with nominal power 500 ÂÀ the load pattern shown in figure 1 has been set. At the moment of a minimum total power made 80 ÂÀ, at the moment of a maximum 440 ÂÀ.

The chart of change of the calculated and measured losses of active power in the transformer during the measurement period is shown in figure 2.

The chart of an error of calculation of losses of the active electric power in the transformer under the formula (1) in comparison with the valid (measured) losses is resulted in figure 3.

Average value of quantity of an error of calculation of losses of the active electric power in the transformer during measurement has made – 0,6 %.

Electric power meter of losses of the active electric power are applied to definition of losses for example [5] which principle of work is based on the Joule's law. A lack of such electric power meter is that they define energy of losses in transformer windings, but losses also include losses in magnetic system, a tank, and as losses from asymmetry and nonsinusoidal a current. For the account of losses also it is necessary to know resistance of object on which measurement which changes depending on heating and environment temperature are made. Told all above leads to decrease in accuracy of measurement of losses of electric energy.

With the account above the resulted equation (1) and for elimination specified above lacks more low in figure 4 the function chart of the developed counter of losses is resulted.

As for calculation of losses by the developed method the program for calculation of losses of the active electric power on the basis of the control of temperature of dry power transformers is written and registered at a non-uniform load pattern [6].

Deductions.

1. The essence of an offered way of definition of losses of the active electric power at a non-uniform load pattern consists in the single-phase transformer that the temperature of magnetic system is measured, a winding and environment and through intervals of time of measurement an equal on two, three order less than a thermal constant of time of the transformer, is calculated increments of temperatures of magnetic system and a winding, differences between temperatures of the magnetic environment, a winding and environment are defined. Losses of the active electric power in the transformer are calculated under the formula (1).

2. At a non-uniform production schedule it is expedient to count electric power losses in each element of a design of the transformer separately taking into account the settlement established temperature for each mode of loading of the transformer and invariable design data of its elements. Such decision considers losses in windings, in magnetic system, from the higher harmonics of a current and voltage, from asymmetry of loading.

3. In the offered device (the counter of losses of the active electric power in the transformer) is carried out definition of losses of the active electric energy lost in the transformer for intervals of time of equal on two, three order less of a thermal constant of time, and allocated in the form of heat that allows to solve a task in view, at use of the first 14 and the second 15 gauges of temperature which take transformer and environment temperature and the parametres of the transformer received in a nominal mode of its work, necessary for calculation.

4. The formula (1) allows to consider all losses of the active electric power allocated in the transformer in the form of heat at a non-uniform load pattern . Average value of size of an error of calculation under the formula (1) during experiment has made 0,6 %.
