Nguyên lý công nghệ sợi quang huỳnh quang để theo dõi nhiệt độ điểm nóng của máy biến áp loại khô
Nguyên lý cơ bản của việc sử dụng công nghệ cảm biến sợi quang huỳnh quang để theo dõi nhiệt độ điểm nóng của máy biến áp loại khô là tận dụng đặc tính nhiệt độ của chất huỳnh quang.. Cụ thể, môi trường huỳnh quang bị kích thích bởi ánh sáng tím xanh để tạo ra huỳnh quang, và thời gian sống của huỳnh quang giảm khi nhiệt độ tăng. Vì thế, phép đo nhiệt độ có thể đạt được bằng cách phát hiện tuổi thọ của huỳnh quang.
Khi chiếu vật liệu huỳnh quang bằng ánh sáng kích thích, chúng phát ra huỳnh quang, thường phân rã theo cấp số nhân. The decay time constant is the fluorescence lifetime or fluorescence afterglow time (ns). The decay of fluorescence afterglow varies at different environmental temperatures. The detector can accurately measure the ambient temperature of the probe and provide monitoring and alarm by measuring the length of the fluorescence afterglow lifetime.
This temperature measurement method has some unique advantages, such as being a passive temperature measurement method, and due to the fully insulated and small size of the cảm biến nhiệt độ sợi quang, it can directly measure the highest temperature of the internal hotspots that are prone to occur in high-voltage electrical equipment. Trong khi đó, the characteristics of fluorescent materials enable this technology to have high accuracy and stability in measuring temperature.
1. Method of using fluorescent optical fiber to monitor the hot spot temperature of dry-type transformers
1.1 Installation of sensors
Choose the appropriate installation location
Đối với máy biến áp loại khô, fiber optic sensors can be installed in internal heat sinks, cuộn dây, and other areas that are prone to hot spots. The winding generates heat during the operation of the transformer. If the heat dissipation is poor or the load is too high, hot spots will appear on the winding. The heat sink is a component specifically designed for heat dissipation, and monitoring its temperature can also help understand the heat dissipation condition of the transformer.
During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the sensor can accurately reflect the hot spot temperature. Ví dụ, when installing on the winding, the structure and current distribution of the winding should be considered, and the sensor should be installed at the location where the highest temperature may occur.
1.2 Installation method and precautions
The installation of sensors should ensure good contact with the measured area to ensure accurate temperature sensing. For the windings of dry-type transformers, it may be necessary to pre-set the installation position during manufacturing or maintenance to avoid damage to the windings during the installation process.
When installing optical fibers, it is important to note that the bending radius of the fiber should not be too small, as the optical loss caused by fiber bending can affect the calculation of the attenuation time constant, do đó ảnh hưởng đến độ chính xác của phép đo nhiệt độ. Đồng thời, it is necessary to avoid excessive stretching or compression of the optical fiber to prevent damage.

The collection equipment needs to have high sensitivity and accuracy to capture weak fluorescence signal changes.
Due to the possibility of installing fluorescent fiber optic sensors at different locations inside transformers, corresponding wiring and signal transmission channels are required to transmit the signals from each sensor to the acquisition equipment.
2.2 Data Processing
The collected fluorescence afterglow signal needs to be processed to obtain the temperature value. According to the relationship curve between fluorescence lifetime and temperature (which is usually obtained through pre calibration), convert the measured fluorescence afterglow decay time into temperature values.
In the process of data processing, possible error factors such as insertion loss at fiber optic joints and optical loss of external optical cables should be considered to improve the accuracy of temperature measurement by compensating for them through algorithms.

3. Precautions for Temperature Monitoring of Fluorescent Fiber Optic Hotspots in Dry type Transformers
3.1 Impact of Environmental Factors
nhiễu điện từ
During the operation of dry-type transformers, there is an electromagnetic field around them. Although fluorescent fiber optic sensors themselves have a certain immunity to electromagnetic interference, attention should still be paid in practical applications. Ví dụ, in places with complex electromagnetic environments such as substations, it is necessary to ensure the electromagnetic compatibility of sensors and monitoring systems. In system design, shielded cables are used to transmit signals, and sensors and monitoring equipment are well grounded to prevent electromagnetic interference from affecting the collection and processing of fluorescence signals, thereby ensuring the accuracy of temperature measurement.
Humidity and dust
If the dry-type transformer is located in an environment with high humidity or dust, it may affect the performance of the fluorescent fiber optic sensor. Humidity may cause condensation on the surface of optical fibers, affecting the transmission of light; Dust may adhere to the surface of optical fibers, causing an increase in optical loss. Vì thế, for sensors installed in such environments, protective measures need to be taken, such as using sealed protective enclosures and regularly cleaning the sensors and optical fibers.
3.2 Installation and maintenance of optical fibers
Fiber bending and loss
When installing optical fibers, it is necessary to strictly control the bending radius of the fibers. Excessive bending can cause scattering and loss of light inside the optical fiber, affecting the transmission and detection of fluorescence signals. Nói chung, the bending radius of optical fibers should be greater than their minimum allowable bending radius, and the specific value depends on the type and specifications of the fiber. During the wiring process, it is important to avoid squeezing or scratching the optical fibers with sharp objects to prevent signal interruption caused by fiber damage.
Processing of fiber optic connectors
The quality of fiber optic connectors has a significant impact on signal transmission. When connecting optical fibers, it is necessary to ensure that the connectors are firmly connected and clean the fiber optic connectors to prevent dust, dầu, and other pollutants from entering the connectors, which can increase the insertion loss of light. Regularly check the condition of fiber optic connectors, and repair or replace them promptly if they are loose or damaged.
3.3 Calibration and Accuracy of Sensors
Hiệu chuẩn thường xuyên
The accuracy of fluorescent fiber optic sensors will drift with changes in time and usage environment. To ensure the accuracy of temperature measurement, it is necessary to calibrate the sensor regularly. The calibration method is to place the sensor in an environment with a known temperature (such as a constant temperature chamber), measure its fluorescence afterglow lifetime, and compare it with the theoretical value at standard temperature. Adjust the parameters of the sensor to make its measured value match the actual temperature. The calibration cycle depends on factors such as the frequency of sensor usage and environmental conditions, and it is generally recommended to perform calibration every six months to one year.
