文摘开关柜是电力系统的重要组成设备,其在出厂和长期运行中不可避免地会出现绝缘缺陷,导致设备故障。局部放电检测是发现开关柜绝缘缺陷的有效手段,为了提高开关柜局部放电检测的灵敏度,提出了超声–暂态对地电压(transient earth voltage,TEV)融合传感技术并设计了融合传感器,实现了超声信号与TEV信号在时空上的同步测量。对融合传感器的校准试验结果表明,超声的平均灵敏度在20~60 kHz内为63.90 dB;TEV的平均灵敏度在1~40 MHz内为46.98 d B,满足开关柜局部放电检测需求。在10 k V开关柜上进行了基于缺陷模型的局部放电试验,结果表明,该文提出的融合传感技术在准确测量局部放电信号的同时可以准确地实现放电定位,为开关柜局部放电检测提供了新的思路与方案。
