0 Preface

The power grid is an important basic industry for economic and social development and an important link in the national energy industry chain. In order to ensure China's future energy and sustainable economic and social development, the State Grid Corporation has proposed a smart grid development model that meets China's energy strategy and the needs of power grid companies. Smart grid refers to the intelligence of the grid and is based on an integrated, high-speed two-way communication network. Through the application of advanced sensing and measurement technology, advanced equipment technology, advanced control methods, and advanced decision support system technology, the goal of reliable, safe, economical, efficient, environmentally friendly and safe use of the power grid is achieved. According to MarTIn Hauske, a senior power expert at IBM China, the smart grid has three levels of meaning [1]: First, use sensors to monitor the operating status of key equipment such as power generation, transmission, distribution, and power supply in real time; The data is collected and integrated through the network system; finally, through the analysis and mining of the data, the optimal management of the operation of the entire power system is achieved. At the "2009 UHV Transmission Technology International Conference" held on May 21, 2009, Liu Zhenya, General Manager of State Grid Corporation of China, said that the active development of smart grid has become a new trend in the development of the world ’s power. By 2020, China will be fully integrated Strong smart grid. China's State Grid has established the development goal of accelerating the construction of a strong smart grid based on the basic national conditions and UHV practice, that is, accelerating the construction of UHV power grid as the backbone grid, coordinated development of power grids at all levels, with informatization, digitization, automation and interaction Features a unified and strong smart grid.

In order to improve the safety and stability of the smart grid and the efficiency of the management of power grid equipment, it is necessary to strengthen and enhance the monitoring capabilities of power grid facilities. Effective methods and advanced technologies, sensing technologies, status assessment technologies, information technologies, and communication support for the status detection of transmission and transformation equipment Technology to carry out technical research and engineering applications. In July 2009, the State Grid Corporation of China decided to fully promote the implementation of state maintenance from 2010, comprehensively improve the level of equipment intelligence, promote the application of intelligent equipment and technology, and realize the online warning and intelligent monitoring of equipment safety.

1 Differences between smart grid and traditional grid in condition detection

1.1 Current status of traditional power grid status detection technology

Condition maintenance is based on the current actual working condition of the equipment. Through advanced condition monitoring methods, reliability evaluation methods and life prediction methods, the equipment status is judged, the early signs of the failure are identified, and the location and severity of the failure and the development trend of the failure are identified. Make judgments and perform maintenance before equipment performance drops to a certain level or failures will occur according to the analysis and diagnosis results [2]. The efficient development of state maintenance requires a large amount of equipment state information, which provides basic data for the evaluation of equipment state and the formulation of state maintenance strategies. Equipment status information includes inspection, operating conditions, live detection, power failure routine tests, power failure diagnostic test data, etc.

With the development of state detection technology, people more and more clearly realize that the trinity detection mode of "live detection, online monitoring, and power failure maintenance test" represents the future development direction of power transmission and transformation equipment state detection technology.

Live detection generally uses portable detection equipment, on-site detection of the state of the equipment in the running state, the detection method is live short-term detection, which is different from long-term continuous online monitoring [3]. In terms of live detection technology, the main live detection technologies currently used at home and abroad include: oil chromatography analysis, infrared temperature measurement, partial discharge detection, core current live detection, ultraviolet imaging detection, capacitive equipment insulation live detection, gas leak live detection, Among them, the most commonly used and most effective are partial discharge detection, oil chromatography analysis and infrared temperature measurement technology. Especially the partial discharge live detection technology, which is currently the most rapidly developed and the most effective one for the detection of electrical equipment insulation defects.

In terms of on-line monitoring technology, the current applications are mainly concentrated on substation equipment, and some applications are gradually appearing on transmission lines and cables. For substation equipment, the online monitoring technologies used in transformers and reactors mainly include: oil chromatography, partial discharge, core grounding current, bushing insulation, top layer oil temperature and winding hot spot temperature; capacitive devices such as CT, CVT, coupling capacitors are mainly Monitor its electrical capacity and dielectric loss; lightning arrester mainly monitors its leakage current; and the main online monitoring technologies of circuit breakers, GIS and other switching equipment include mechanical characteristics of the switch, GIS partial discharge, SF6 gas leakage and SF6 micro water and density. Among them, the applications are relatively mature and effective: on-line monitoring of transformer oil chromatography, on-line monitoring of capacitive equipment and arresters. For transmission lines, the main online monitoring methods currently used mainly include lightning monitoring, insulator contamination, tower tilt, and wire sag, but the more mature ones are mainly lightning monitoring and insulator contamination monitoring. For power cables, the main online detection methods are temperature and partial discharge, and the relatively mature one is distributed optical fiber temperature measurement.

In terms of power failure maintenance tests, a set of mature preventive test methods and procedures have been formed at home and abroad.

China's state detection and evaluation work is still in its infancy, and the main problems in the application and promotion of state detection technology are: (1) The application range of state detection technology is not wide. Compared with the total power grid equipment, the equipment coverage of state monitoring technology application It is still at a low level; (2) The reliability of the state detection device is not high, there are false alarms, and the failure rate of the device is high, and the workload of operation and maintenance is large; (3) The lack of unified standards and norms guidance, each manufacturer The working principle, performance index and operation reliability of the device are quite different. At the same time, the verification methods, output data specifications and monitoring platforms of various devices are different; (4) The lack of in-depth and effective comprehensive state assessment methods; (5 ) The online monitoring technology needs to be deepened. The current online monitoring technology still has blind spots in the detection of equipment defects, the status parameters are not rich enough, and the role of early warning of sudden failures is not obvious; (6) The lack of unified assessment, evaluation and guidance Industry management agency.

1.2 Differences in state detection between smart grid and traditional grid

The scope of the smart grid's acquisition of status information will change greatly from the traditional grid. In the future, the status information of the smart grid not only includes the status information of the grid equipment, such as the health status of the power generation and transmission and transformation equipment, and the economic operation curve; but also the real-time information of the grid operation, such as: the unit operating conditions, the grid operation Conditions, tide information, etc .; there should also be natural physical information, such as: geographic information, breath information, etc. [4].

The information acquisition and utilization level of the traditional power grid is low, and it is difficult to form a system-level integrated business application. The smart grid highly integrates and integrates many advanced technologies such as communication technology, computer technology, sensor measurement technology, and control technology with the original grid facilities. Compared with the traditional grid, the smart grid further expands the panoramic real-time information of the grid. The acquisition capability can achieve the acquisition, integration, analysis, reorganization and sharing of various real-time information of the system during the entire production process through a safe, reliable and common communication channel. By strengthening the analysis, diagnosis and optimization of real-time and dynamic status information of the power grid, it can provide a more comprehensive and refined display of the grid's operating status for grid operation and management personnel, and give corresponding control plans, backup plans and auxiliary decision-making strategies. Maximize the safety, reliability, economy and environmental protection of power grid operation. The state maintenance of the smart grid will not only be limited to the state maintenance of the power grid equipment, but will inevitably extend more complex advanced applications.
