Unsa ang mga Teorya sa Pagpili ug Aplikasyon sa Gamay nga Neutral Point Reactors sa 500kV Substations?

1 Mga Teorya nga Relevante sa mga Small Neutral Point Reactor sa 500kV Substations
1.1 Definisyones ug Roles

Ang reactor usa ka key power system component nga kontrola ang phase relationship sa AC current ug voltage, gisulay sa inductive ug capacitive types. Ang mga inductive reactors limitahan ang short-circuit currents ug gibutangan og stability; ang capacitive ones i-improve ang transmission efficiency ug kalidad sa voltage. Ang small neutral point reactor usa ka specialized type nga gikonekta tali sa neutral point sa three-phase system ug ground.

Sa 500kV substations (crucial para sa large-scale, long-distance power transmission), ang mga reactors mahimong vital. Sila maayo nga limitahan ang short-circuit currents, gitumbas ang losses ug gigahum sa stability. Sila usab mitigates ang fluctuations sa current/voltage nga mahimo mobati sa sensitive equipment, na-improve ang kalidad sa power. Padulong, sila matagaan sa fault detection/protection pinaagi sa pag-coordinate sa devices sama sa circuit breakers ug relays aron mas rapido ug mas accurate ang fault isolation.

1.2 Types ug Characteristics

Ang uban-uban nga types sa small reactors adunay ilang kaugalingong advantages, disadvantages, ug application scenarios. Pinaagi sa pag-select ug small reactor alang sa neutral point sa 500kV substation, kini nga mga factors kinahanglan komprehensibong isipon, kasagaran ang specific needs sa system, cost constraints, ug complexity sa maintenance. Busa, ang pagkaunawa sa characteristics sa bawg type sa small reactor usa ka crucial step alang sa effective selection.

Sa general, ang classification mahimo gamiton pinaagi sa sulod nga tatlo ka methods: pinaagi sa reactance value, pinaagi sa structure, ug pinaagi sa control mode, as shown in Table 1.

2 Standards ug Methods sa Selection
2.1 Pag-compare sa Domestic ug International Standards

Pinaagi sa pag-select ug small neutral - point reactors alang sa 500kV substations, ang pagkaunawa ug pag-compare sa domestic ug international standards crucial. Kini nag-siguro sa product quality/performance ug nag-meet sa regional/application-specific needs.

Internationally, ang IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) ang naghunahuna sa formulating power equipment standards. Ang IEC standards mas comprehensive ug stringent, covering design, manufacturing, testing, ug maintenance — kasagaran gihatagan og global “golden standards”. Sa China, ang standards karaniha gihatag sa State Grid Corporation o relevant institutions. Kini prioritized ang practicality ug cost-effectiveness apan mao ra lenient sa aspects sama sa environmental protection, as shown in Table 2.

2.2 Methods ug Procedures sa Selection

Sa pag-select ug small neutral-point reactors alang sa 500kV substations, duha ka key aspects involved: computational simulation ug experimental verification. Bawg adunay unique pros ug cons, apan combined, sila enable comprehensive, accurate assessments aron sigurado ang successful selection.

Ang computation-simulation stage usa ka vital. Unsa pa, conduct demand analysis aron klaro ang electrical parameters (current, voltage, frequency) bilang basis sa calculations. Gamit ang precise models/algorithms aron determine ang key parameters sama sa required reactance ug rated current. Pagkatapos, leverage software (e.g., PSS/E, DIgSILENT) aron detailed system simulations. Kini verifies results ug evaluates reactor performance under diverse conditions.

Ang advantages include predictability ug cost-effectiveness — simulating pre-installation performance avoids wrong equipment choices, saving costs/time. Limitations: results rely heavily on model accuracy, ug building accurate models demands professional software ug strong technical expertise.

2.3 Experimental Verification

Unlike computational simulation, experimental verification directly assesses reactor performance. Pagkatapos sa pag-select ug type/specification sa reactor, prototype/sample tests unang gipatuman sa labs aron check basic performance ug reliability ⁵. Pagkatapos, rigorous on-site tests follow — sa actual 500kV substations, ang reactors face complex conditions, the ultimate test of performance/reliability.

Ang strength sa experimental verification direct observation sa real-world performance. Analyzing real-condition data ensures reactors meet design/operation needs. Apan it has downsides: multiple experiments ug long-term data collection drive up costs ug time.

3 Application Case Analysis

Kini nga case features ang 500kV substation sa western city center, powering nearby commercial zones ug residential areas. Ang rehiyon adunay subtropical climate (15°C annual average temperature, 60% relative humidity), high power demand, complex grid, ug peak loads hitting 400MW.

3.2 Application Process
3.2.1 Selection ug Installation

Selection usa ka key to project success, busa ang stage gets heavy time/resource investment. Ang team does in-depth demand analysis, evaluating grid load traits, current/voltage needs, ug special conditions (e.g., short circuits, overloads).

Baton ni, sila run calculations ug simulations. Using software like PSS/E, they model reactor performance under diverse scenarios (short-circuit current limiting, system resonance, current imbalance). Simulations show a high-reactance, oil-immersed, actively controlled reactor suits best. A small neutral-point reactor (rated current 2000A, reactance 10Ω) of this type is tentatively chosen. To confirm, the team references domestic/international standards (e.g., IEC), local power standards, ug prior research in similar cases.

Pagkatapos sa pag-get approval from all stakeholders (power companies, design institutes, equipment suppliers), installation starts. A professional team handles physical installation, electrical connections, ug system integration. Post-installation, strict on-site tests/commissioning check reactance accuracy, system response speed, ug coordination with other power equipment for stable operation.

Once the equipment is put into operation, an advanced monitoring system is used for real-time data tracking ug performance evaluation. It includes not only the monitoring of current ug voltage but also the monitoring of equipment temperature, oil quality, ug other key parameters.

3.2.3 Maintenance ug Optimization

Due to the selection of oil-immersed type ug active control, the maintenance of the equipment is relatively simple. Maintenance is only required once a year, mainly including oil quality inspection ug calibration of electrical parameters. Based on the operation data, necessary system optimizations are also carried out to further improve the performance ug reliability of the equipment.
