Abstract:

Free metal particle defects are one of the frequent discharge defect types in gas insulated switchgear (GIS) equipment. Therefore, accurate estimation of their size and discharge severity is beneficial for understanding the insulation damage of equipment. In this paper, a method is proposed for estimating the size of internal metal particle in GIS through digital virtual test. First, the mathematical model of GIS metal particle jumping and its reciprocating motion is analyzed. Then, a relationship between particle size and its motion behavior is established by using the particle coordinate sequence obtained from digital inversion, and considering the back-and-forth motion characteristics and simulation analysis of metal particles. Finally, digital simulation traversal method and motion trajectory similarity analysis are proposed to achieve online estimation of metal particle size, and the simulation study verifies the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method, which provides a basis for inferring the internal insulation condition of GIS equipment based on digital technology.

Key words: gas insulated switchgear (GIS), partial discharge, digital inference, metal particle size
