Description

Optical current mutual inductor sensing head and method for sensing
Technical field
The present invention relates to the optical current mutual inductor field, particularly a kind of optical current sensing head and method for sensing thereof.
Background technology
Along with improving constantly of line voltage grade in the electric system, capacity constantly increases, and current transformer is had higher requirement.Traditional electromagnetic current transducer has exposed serious defective gradually, mainly comprise: (1) when system is short-circuited, when current anomaly increases, mutual inductor is unshakable in one's determination saturated serious, it is limited that it measures dynamic range, and transient performance worsens, make secondary current can not correctly reflect primary current, cause relay protection tripping or malfunction; (2) transient signal and harmonic measure ability, its linearity and dynamic perfromance all can not satisfy the requirement of quick failure response; (3) along with the raising of electric pressure, rely on oil-insulation, gas isolated insulation system to become increasingly complex, cost height, Heavy Weight, volume is big and explosion danger is arranged; (4) can not directly provide digital signal, incompatibility electric-power metering and the demand for development of protecting digital informationization.Given this, the better electronic current mutual inductor of transient performance and insulating property becomes the emphasis that further develops.
At present, electronic current mutual inductor mainly is divided into two big classes: optical current mutual inductor and hollow coil current transformer (claiming Rogowski coil type current transformer again).Comparatively speaking, the latter's degree of being practical is higher at present, but still exists a lot of difficult problems to overcome.The sensing head of hollow coil current transformer often evenly is wound on the ring skeleton by enameled wire, and skeleton adopts nonferromagnetic materials such as plastics or pottery, and its relative permeability is identical with airborne relative permeability.Hollow coil current transformer is subject to outside electromagnetic interference owing to be not with iron core; Its coil winding shape and technological requirement are very high, and the temperature stability of coil rack is not high, especially take place under the situation of distortion at current waveform, and its accuracy of measurement is not high enough; Its output signal is the differential of tested electric current, and the analog-and digital-integrating circuit that utilizes can't be realized having limited its transient performance by accurate integrating function on broadband at present; Because its high-side signal treatment circuit needs power supply reliably and with long-term, stablizing energy supply design and low power dissipation design is its difficult point and key of development at present, has also limited its insulating property simultaneously.Though occurred the printed circuit board air core coil in recent years, improved the precision and the dirigibility of wiring, and the temperature stability of coil rack, as active electronic transformer, need introduce power supply and ground in the high-pressure side, make whole device very complicated.So using the ideal form of mutual inductor in electric system should be the optical current mutual inductor of passive, to reduce insulating requirements greatly.
At present, the kind of optical current mutual inductor has a lot, can be divided into several big classes such as block magneto-optic memory technique type, magnetostriction materials type and full fiber type by the sensitive material type.Block magneto-optic memory technique comprises magneto-optic glass and magneto-optical crystal etc., can be processed into strip or uses around the closed hoop sensing head of current.For the ring-type magneto-optic glass is the optics mutual inductor of sensing head, and tested electric current passes from the hole at main body glass ring center by straight line conductor, and polarized light centers on one week of conductor through the repeatedly total reflection of reflecting surface.The weak point of this sensing head is passing in time, and the character of reflecting surface can change, the precision of measurement and reliability worse and worse, long-time stability are bad, and difficulty of processing is big, install inconvenient.Magneto-optical crystal (is representative with the garnet crystal) also is studied the current measurement field that is applied to, but its Verdet constant temperature influence is bigger, and magnetic history has randomness, make measuring stability and precision not high, and cost is higher.Magnetostriction materials combine with optical fiber can realize current sense, but because the restriction of the magnetic saturation of the load effect of optical fiber and magnetostriction materials coupling, magnetostriction materials itself and magnetic effect and material have all restricted the practical application of such sensing head in the optics mutual inductor to the susceptibility of environmental factors such as temperature and vibration.Full optical fiber sensor head directly is wound on optical fiber exactly and realizes current sense on the current, and light channel structure is simple.Because environmental factors such as temperature, stress can cause the birefringent random variation of inside of optical fibre, have influenced measuring accuracy and stability based on the all-fiber current transformator of Polarization Detection greatly.Though the Sagnac all-fiber current transformator based on interference detection method has obtained enough attention in recent years, the model machine of linked network trial run has also appearred, and this scheme is difficult to distinguish the influence to sensing detection of the optical circulator effect that caused by vibration.
In recent years, along with the development of function film technology, the trend of the also oriented filming development of the sensing head of optical current mutual inductor.U.S. Pat 0103380 discloses a kind of current sensing based on magneto-optic memory technique film and optical waveguide resonant structure.It is the magnetic field sensor of sensitive element with ferromagnetic material or ferrimagnetic material film that U.S. Pat 5736856 discloses a kind of Kerr magnetooptical effect of utilizing.Chinese patent CN101672870 discloses a kind of current sensor, and its sensing unit is the stacked growth structure of protective seam, permanent magnetic thin film and magneto-optic memory technique.Chinese patent CN101672865 discloses a kind of fibre optic current sensor, scribbles the magnetostriction materials rete on the sensor fibre.But because technique scheme still is subjected to the restriction of magnetic material performance, so there are many problems in actual applications.
Along with the in-depth to microworld understanding that develops rapidly of nanometer technology, be that remarkable progress has been obtained in the nanophotonics field of representative with the surface plasmons with people.Surface plasma excimer is meant non-radiative " local " electromagnetic mode that the metal surface free electron intercouples and forms with incident photon, the metal surface free electron is collective's coherent oscillation under the excitation of incident field, luminous energy is accumulated in the spatial dimension of hundreds of nanometer on the interface of metal and medium, produce huge local electromagnetic field enhancement effect, greatly strengthened the interaction between light and the material, can significantly strengthen the magneto-optical property of metallic diaphragm, thereby strengthen its light sensing response ability of changes of magnetic field to external world.
Exciting of surface plasmons can be by total reflection phenomenon, utilize modes such as optical fiber and planar optical waveguide to realize.Except exciting the surface plasmons at metallic film list interface, by appropriate design metal and dielectric multi-layer film structure, the surface plasmons at two interfaces can be realized coupling about metallic diaphragm, be called the long-distance surface plasmon, can be implemented in the longer propagation at interface.Utilize metal micro-nanostructures such as optical grating construction, cycle nano-pore structure and nano metal particles can produce stronger local High-Field and strengthen effect, be called as the resonance of local surface plasma excimer.
