The Qinghai-Henan ±800kV UHV DC power transmission project is an UHV channel specially constructed for clean energy delivery, ±800kV converter transformers of the project are assembled and tested in Xining at an altitude of 2500 m, full-wave lightning impulse test is one of the main means to evaluate converter transformer insulation performance, its valve side lightning impulse voltage waveform parameters often fail to meet IEC60076-3 standards because of the large winding to the ground capacitance. In order to effectively assess the lightning tolerance of converter transformer, a simulation model of impulse test circuit of ±800kV converter transformer was built based on the existing 6000kV/560kJ impulse voltage generator and ATP-EMTP simulation software, three kinds of optimization methods are proposed, which include increasing the wavetail resistance, increasing load capacitor, and connecting the wave head in parallel with different inductors, the results show that the single optimization method can not meet the waveform requirements. Therefore, a combinatorial optimization test method of increasing the wavetail resistance and connecting the wave head in parallel with different inductors is proposed, which is completed and verified in the full-wave lightning impulse test on the valve side of Qinghai ±800kV high-end converter transformer, the results show that the optimized test waveform parameters meet the standard requirements.

1 Introduction

The Qinghai-Henan ±800kV UHV DC power transmission project, an UHV channel specially built for clean energy delivery, passes through Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi and Henan provinces. The ± 800kV Hainan Converter Station is located at an altitude of 2,880 m in Gonghe County, Qinghai Province. In case a converter transformer, the core equipment in UHVDC transmission project, fails, the safe operation of the entire transmission project will be undermined (Xiaodong and Yadong, 2002; Fengfeng and Nengling, 2007; Kaigui et al., 2011; Xin et al., 2011; Xuech et al., 2012; Boxue et al., 2019). Compared with traditional transformers, UHV converter transformers are bigger and more difficult in installation and transport (Taoxi et al., 2010; Yang, 2010). For the convenience of transportation, the ± 800kV high-end converter transformer was assembled in Xining and the factory test was completed in the Key Laboratory of High-Altitude Power System.

The insulation performance of large-capacity converter transformers can directly affect the safe operation of transmission projects. In a large-capacity converter transformer’s lightning impulse full-wave test, due to the large capacity and inlet capacitance, the waveform specified in the standard is often not achieved. The larger impact capacitance will extend the wavefront time, while the smaller equivalent inductance will often shorten the half-peak time (i.e., the time to half peak value). Moreover, when adjusting the waveform parameters, the serial or parallel connection of resistance in the adjustment system may result in an excessive high oscillation peak or overshoot value. So the time parameter and overshoot value should also be taken into account during the test (Qiying et al., 2018). According to GB 1094.4, when the waveform parameters cannot meet the requirements, the manufacturer and the user may negotiate the limit value of the wavefront time, and try to secure that the overshoot value is within a fluctuation of 10%.

Based on the statistical analysis of waveform parameters in the large-scale converter transformer lightning impulse test, combined with domestic and foreign lightning impulse test results and requirements in international standards, China Southern Power Grid EHV Transmission Company pointed out that the stipulation—the manufacturer and the user may negotiate about a bigger deviation in case the waveform parameters fail to meet the standard in the converter transformer lightning impulse test—was not quite workable, and the arbitrariness of the two parties in defining the wavefront time and the half-wave peak time during the negotiation would have an impact on the assessment effect of the insulation strength of the transformer (Feng, 2009; Zuosen et al., 2016).

Jianxin et al. (2015), the test improves the low-pass filtering circuit of the capacitive load of the impulse voltage generator. Thus the lightning impulse voltage waveform that meets the standard can be obtained even when the capacitive load is large. Guogang et al. (2010), as statistics indicate that most converter transformer lightning full-wave test’s results can not meet the standard with the main problems of excessive long wavefront time or high overshoot, a lightning shock modulation device composed of a resistor-capacitor parallel connection is developed to reduce the wavefront time. Shengxia et al. (2021), a fourth-order lightning impulse voltage test loop built with EMTP software is connected to the transformer to analyze the influence of wavehead resistance selection on wavefront time and peak overshoot coefficient. Yanjie et al. (2017) studies the effects of different sample capacitances and different loop inductances on the overshoot rate and wavefront time of the impulse voltage generator, and proposes a lightning impulse voltage test waveform parameter control method based on an optimized model. The existing research on the load characteristics of the impulse voltage generator is mostly aimed at the adjustment of the waveform’s wavefront time (Xuexian and Youbin, 1997; Youbin et al., 1999; Xuyun et al., 2002; Guangfan et al., 2008; Haoyang, 2009; Haoyang et al., 2009). The wavefront time in this test has met the standard’s requirements, while the half-peak time adjustment method required in this test is less explored.

According to the needs of external insulation test, the capacity of the impulse voltage generator purchased by the Key Laboratory of High-Altitude Power System was 6000kV/560KJ. How to use a small-capacity impulse voltage generator to complete the large-capacity ±800kV converter transformer impulse test is a problem faced by the project team. In this paper, the ATP-EMTP simulation software is used to build a simulation model for the ±800kV converter transformer’s impulse test loop, and three methods of increase in wavetail resistance, increase in diverse load capacitance, and parallel connection of different inductors with the wave head resistance are proposed for simulation computing. But, the results show that none of the three different methods can meet the requirements. Finally, a combined and optimized test scheme is proposed, and the factory test of the ±800kV high-end converter transformer is completed. In the test, the waveform meets the requirements of the wavefront time no longer than 2.5 μs, and the half-peak time of 50 μs ± 20%. The converter transformer has been in operation for 3 years without abnormalities.

The impulse voltage generator is a set of air cushion mobile indoor equipment, featuring a 24-stage tower structure and a shielding hood at its top. It adopts bilateral symmetrical charging mode, with the charging voltage of single-stage ±125kV, and the series discharge stage voltage of 250kV. The voltage is continuously adjustable, and the charging power supply is automatically switched off at the moment of ignition to protect the charging transformer and voltage regulation system.

Where T1 is the wavehead time, T2 the half-peak time, C1 the impulse capacitance, and C2 is the load capacitance.

3.2 Simulation model

Simulative study and analysis was made to the lightning impulse full-wave test on the valve side of the ±800kV converter transformer. A simulation model is established according to the above lightning impulse equivalent circuit, and the converter transformer circuit model achieved equivalence through a model with capacitance and inductance in parallel (Shiquan, 1994a; Yuren et al., 2003; Xuemin, 2013), where the capacitance is 5000pF and the inductance 13mH. The test loop’s load capacitance includes: 1) test transformer’s inlet capacitance 5000pF; 2) voltage divider’s capacitance 300pF; 3) voltage divider and equalizer hood to ground capacitance 650pF; 4) impulse generator and equalizer’s capacitance to ground 350pF; 5) interception device’s capacitance 400pF; 6) interception device’s capacitance to ground 200pF. The test loop’s inductance includes: 1) the inductance of the impulse voltage generator body, which operates at 5μH per stage, 2 in parallel and 10 in series, with the calculation value of 50μH, and 2) high-voltage lead inductance, based on 1 μH/m (Shiquan, 1994b), is 14μH. The voltage divider resistor is 450Ω.

The simulation model is established under the original parameters of the impulse voltage generator, in which the input voltage is U1, the output voltage U0, the generator efficiency η, the wavefront time T1, the half-peak time T2, and the relative overshoot amplitude β. Table 2 describes the parameter settings as follows.

TABLE 2
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 2. ±800kV simulation parameters of lightning impulse test on valve side of converter transformer.

The simulation waveform is shown in Figure 3. The simulation results are U1 = 200kV, U0 = 1869.3kV, T1 = 1.73 μs, T2 = 23.74 μs, η = 93.46 and β = 2.47.

FIGURE 3
www.frontiersin.org

FIGURE 3. Simulation waveform of LI test on valve side of converter transformer under original parameter.

According to the specifications in IEC 60076-3 2013 (International Electrotechnical Commission, 2013) Power transformers—Part 3:Insulation levels, dielectric tests and external clearances in air and IEC 60060-1 2010 (International Electrotechnical Commission, 2010) High-voltage test techniques—Part 1: General definitions and test requirements, the “standard lightning impulse full wave: 1.2 μs ± 30%/50 μs ± 20%, for transformers with Um ≤ 800kV, the wavefront time should not exceed 2.5 μs. It can be seen that if no measures are taken, the wavefront time of the lightning impulse full-wave test on the valve side of the converter transformer meets the requirements. And the half-peak time does not meet the requirements. Therefore, a certain wave regulation method is required so that the impulse voltage generator can meet the requirements of the lightning full-wave test standard on the converter valve side.

4 Single-mode modulation analysis

4.1 Increase the wavetail resistance

It can be seen from Eq. 2 that under the condition of determining the impulse capacitance and load capacitance, increasing the half-peak time can be achieved by increasing the wavetail resistance. In order to make full use of the laboratory wave modulation resistance and reflect the change of waveform with wavetail resistance, we considered increasing the wavetail resistance by 10 times to 5000Ω, and further simulation of wavetail resistance at 8000Ω, 10000Ω, and U1 = 190kV while other parameters remain unchanged.

The waveform of the simulation results is shown in Figure 4, with a slight increase in half-peak time as the wavetail resistance increases.

FIGURE 4
www.frontiersin.org

FIGURE 4. LI simulation waveform when the wavetail resistance increases.

The waveform parameters are shown in Table 3, it can be seen that when the wave-tail resistance increases to 5000Ω, 8000Ω, and 10000Ω, the wavefront time of the lightning impulse full-wave test on the valve side of the converter transformer meets the requirements, and the half-peak time increases significantly, but it still does not meet the standard requirements.

TABLE 3
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 3. Statistics of simulation results when the wavetail resistance increases.

4.2 Increasing the load capacitance

It can be seen from Eq. 2 that under the condition of a fixed impulse capacitance, increasing the load capacitance will increase the half-peak time. So the half-peak time requirement is met by increasing the load capacitance during the simulation. According to the existing load capacitance and wave regulation requirements of the laboratory, the load capacitance of 3000pF, 6000pF and 9000pF are added respectively in the simulation.

The simulation waveform of the increased load capacitance is shown in Figure 5 as the load capacitance increases, the half-peak time increases significantly, but the wavefront time also increases.

FIGURE 5
www.frontiersin.org

FIGURE 5. LI simulation waveform when load capacitance is added.

The waveform parameters are shown in Table 4. When the load capacitance increases by 3000pF, both the wavefront time and half-peak time increase. The wavefront time meets the requirements but is close to the limit, and the half-peak time increases but still does not meet the standard requirements. When the load capacitance increases by 6000pF and 9000pF, both the wavefront time and the half-peak time increase, but neither meets the standard requirements.

TABLE 4
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 4. Statistics of simulation results when load capacitance is added.

4.3 Connecting wavehead resistance with inductor in parallel

According to IEC 60076-4 2002 Appendix A: Waveform control principle (International Electrotechnical Commission, 2002), by connecting the inductors in parallel with the wavehead resistance, the half-peak time can be increased, and it will be greater than the half-peak time generated when the impulse voltage generator is used alone. In the simulation test described herein, the 1mH, 1.5mH, and 2mH inductors are connected in parallel with the wavehead resistance.

The simulation waveform for the parallel connection of wavehead resistor with inductance is shown in Figure 6. With the parallel inductance value increases, the half-peak time decreases.

FIGURE 6
www.frontiersin.org

FIGURE 6. LI simulation waveform with inductor in parallel.

The waveform parameters are shown in Table 5, from which it can be seen that the inductance of 1–2mH in parallel with the wave head can meet the requirements of the wavefront time, and the half-peak time is increased but does not meet the standard requirements.

TABLE 5
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 5. Statistics of simulation results with inductor in parallel.

4.4 Results analysis

Statistical analysis of the above simulation results shows that, under the original parameter conditions, the wavefront time meets the requirements, but the half-peak time does not meet the requirements. After increasing the wavetail resistance to 5000Ω, 8000Ω, and 10000Ω, the half-peak time increases by 39.5%, 41.8%, and 42.6% respectively but still does not meet the requirements, and the increase of half-peak time shows a saturation trend with the increase of wavetail resistance. After increasing the load capacitance by 3000pF, 6000pF, and 9000pF, the half-peak time increased significantly by 6.3%, 12.3%, and 18.0% respectively, but the wave front time increased by 42.2%, 82.7%, and 123.1%, respectively, meanwhile, the trend of the increase of wave front time and half-peak time slowed down slightly with the increase of load capacitance, but the half-peak time still does not meet the requirements, and the wavefront time is too high to meet the requirements with the further increase of the capacitance. When the wave head is connected in parallel with 1–2mH inductors, with the increase of parallel inductance, the increase degree of half-peak time decreases, which is 16.3%, 14.7%, and 13.3% respectively, and the wavefront time is almost unchanged, the wavefront time meets the requirements, but the half-peak time does not meet the requirements. Therefore, we consider a combination of multiple modulation methods to make the waveform meet the standard requirements.

As can be seen from Figure 7, increases in wavetail resistance, load capacitance, and parallel inductance of wave head resistance can increase the half-peak time, and the half-peak time increases with the increase of the load capacitance and wavetail resistance, and decreases with the increase of the paralleled inductance. At the same time, the increase of load capacitance obviously causes the increase of wavefront time and cost higher, which the change of wavetail resistance and paralleled inductance has little effect on the wavefront time. Therefore, the combined wave modulation method considers increasing the wavetail resistance while increasing the wave head resistance.

FIGURE 7
www.frontiersin.org

FIGURE 7. Influence of single waveform adjustment mode on waveform.

5 Combinatorial modulation analysis

Based on the existing impulse voltage generator and wave regulation components, we try to apply wave regulation methods that are easy to implement as much as possible to meet the waveform requirements of the lightning impulse full-wave test on the valve side of the ±800kV converter transformer.

According to the simulation results of the single modulation mode, it can be seen that the increase of the half-peak time through a single modulation method is limited, so the combined modulation method is considered. The combined wave modulation method intends to increase the parallel inductance of the wave head resistance while increasing the wavetail resistance. The effect on increasing the half-peak time declines with the increase of the wave head parallel inductance value, so the wave head parallel inductance value is set to be 1mH. Increasing the wavetail resistance can effectively increase the half-peak time, but as the wavetail resistance continues increasing, the half-peak time increases to a stable value. So, the wavetail resistance is determined to be 8000Ω based on a comprehensive consideration of the field wave modulation resistance elements and the wave modulation effect.

With the input voltage U1 = 180kV, and the simulation results of U0 = 1859.7kV, T1 = 1.82 μs, T2 = 42.28 μs, η = 103.32, = 3.72, the simulation waveform is shown in Figure 8. Both the wavefront time and half-peak time can meet the standard requirements, and the efficiency of the generator is significantly increased.

6 Application tests

An optimally configured impulse voltage generator is applied to complete the lightning impulse test on the valve side of the ±800kV converter transformer (ZZDFPZ-415000/750-800). The test ambient temperature is 18°C, the relative humidity is 46%, and the test site is shown in Figure 9. The waveform recorded by Impulse Analysing System of Haefely Test AG in Figure 10.

7 Conclusion

In this paper, the simulation analysis compares the optimization methods of increasing the wavetail resistance, increasing different load capacitors, and connecting the wavehead resistance with different inductors in parallel, completes the test verification, and obtains the following conclusions:

(1) Only increasing the wavetail resistance can effectively increase the half-peak time. But as the wavetail resistance continues to increase, the increase of half peak time tends to be saturated.

(2) Only increasing the load capacitance can increase the half-peak time. The half-peak time increases with the increase of the load capacitance, but increasing the load capacitance will lead to a more significant increase in the wavefront time.

(3) The wavehead resistance’s parallel connection with the inductance alone can increase the half-peak time. But with the increase of the paralleled inductance value, the increasing degree of half-peak time gradually decreases, and the wavefront time is almost unchanged.

(4) The single wave regulation mode has limited wave regulation ability. The method of wave head parallel inductance combined with increasing wavetail resistance meets the requirements of lightning full-wave test waveform and the needs of project applications.
