3-D Temperature Field Numerical Analysis of Self-healing Power Capacitor and Its Influencing Factors
The paramount advantages of the self-healing capacitor are oil-free
low noise level and high storage energy density. It is particularly well suited to apply in urban distribution network and clean energy storage. To obtain temperature filed distribution in the self-healing capacitor in working condition
the temperature filed calculation model of a self-healing power capacitor subjected to an AC voltage of 400 V and at a temperature of 55 °C is formulated in Fluent 15.0. The above model is solved by finite volume method and the temperature distribution of capacitor shell and core are obtained and systematically investigated. The results reveal that: the hottest spot o
f the shell locates on the large side surface. The temperature of the large surface is higher than that of small side surface. The average temperature rise of shell and core are 3 °C and 5 °C respectively. The temperature of the core is2
3
°C higher than that of shell. The influences of the element diameter/the number of element and arrangement of element on the temperature rise are investigated. The suggestions about the selections of element diameter/number and element arrangement are given. The above results can be taken as a reference to self-healing power capacitor operation and provide a potential method for the self-healing capacitor optimization.
