This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent Trends in the Condition Monitoring of Transformers reflects the current interest in replacing traditional techniques used in power transformer condition monitoring with non-invasive measures such as polarization/depolarization current measurement, recovery voltage measurement, frequency domain spectroscopy and frequency response analysis. The book stresses the importance of scrutinizing the condition of transformer insulation which may fail under present day conditions of intensive use with the resulting degradation of dielectric properties causing functional failure of the transformer. The text shows the reader how to overcome the key challenges facing today’s maintenance policies, namely: The selection of appropriate techniques for dealing with each type of failure process accounting for the needs of plant owners, plant users and wider society; and Cost-efficiency and durability of effect. Many of the failure-management methods presented rely on the fact that most failures give warning when they are imminent. These potential failures give rise to identifiable physical conditions and the novel approaches described detect them so that action can be taken to avoid degeneration into full-blown functional failure. This “on-condition” maintenance means that equipment can be left in service as long as a specified set of performance standards continue to be met, avoiding the costly downtime imposed by routine and perhaps unnecessary maintenance but without risking equally expensive failure. Recent Trends in the Condition Monitoring of Transformers will be of considerable interest to both academic researchers in power systems and to engineers working in the power generation and distribution industry showing how new and more efficient methods of fault diagnosis and condition management can increase transformer efficiency and cut costs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A first edition of Condition Monitoring of Electrical Machines, written by Tavner and Penman, was published in 1987. The economics of industry have now changed, as a result of the privatisation and deregulation of the energy industry, placing emphasis on the importance of reliable operation of plant, throughout the whole life cycle, regardless of first cost. The availability of advanced electronics and software in powerful instrumentation, computers, and digital signal processors (DSP) has simplified our ability to instrument and analyse machinery. As a result condition monitoring is now being applied to a wider range of systems from fault-tolerant drives of a few hundred watts in the aerospace industry, to machinery of a few hundred megawatts in major capital plant." "In this new book the original authors have been joined by Ran, an expert in power electronics and control, and Sedding, an expert in the monitoring of electrical insulation systems. Together the authors have revised and expanded the earlier book, merging their own experience with that of machine analysts to bring it up to date."--BOOK JACKET.

This book was released on 2019-05-27 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on oil-paper insulation included in power transformers, especially for EHV and UHV transformers. The importance on insulation ever increased due to a growing voltage rating of transformers. Within the last decades, although research on the transformer insulation and diagnosis methods has advanced a lot, the insulation of HV transformers remained more or less unchanged. The book is divided into five chapters; the first and second chapters explain the basics of oil insulation, while the third chapter focuses on paper insulation. The final two chapters deal with the methods and outcome of testing both techniques. The primary target audience for this book is graduate students and power system engineers.

Download or read book Condition Assessment of Power Transformer Winding Insulation Based on Partial Discharge Detection written by Sally Daif and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power transformers are important components of power systems, as their failure can result in major losses to electric utilities. Transformer windings are responsible for approximately 30% of transformer failures. A principal cause of these failures is winding insulation failure due to partial discharge (PD). When PD occurs in power transformers, the insulation system is damaged in two ways: by gases created from the oil and paper, and by degradation of its solid insulation. Solid insulation degradation is correlated with the PD apparent charge value, which is usually measured by conventional PD detectors. However, conventional PD detectors are not suitable for use in a transformer environment due to noise interference and the transformer's complex internal design. In addition to PD apparent charge, identifying the nature of the PD is essential for assessing the transformer winding insulation condition. Due to the difficulties associated with PD measurement in a transformer environment, PD severity assessment is still performed by dissolved gas analysis, which does not provide enough details about the PD's crucial characteristics and hence the transformer insulation condition. To address these shortcomings, this research develops two distinct modules: PD detection and PD severity assessment. Using the leakage current measured at the transformer neutral, the detection module determines the PD charge, PD location, and PD source type in the transformer winding insulation. The severity assessment module then uses this information to assess the transformer winding insulation condition. In the PD detection module, the leakage current measured at the transformer neutral undergoes three modules: PD source classification, PD localization, and PD charge determination. The techniques used for PD source classification and localization are based on designing feedforward neural network classifiers using the statistical features extracted from leakage current signals, corresponding to different origins, sources or locations. The developed modules are tested on a three-phase transformer. The selection of the proper feature combination to in designing the neural networks results in better recognition of PD source type and location. In the PD charge determination module, the PD charge is calculated from the PD current injected into the transformer winding during a PD event, using both the corresponding leakage current and the winding transfer function. For the transformer under test, a bank of transfer functions from all possible locations along the winding to the transformer neutral is developed and used in the charge calculation module. The error between the measured and calculated charges is 10% or less. In the PD severity assessment module, a fuzzy logic system maps the PD characteristics, charge and source, into a quantitative index called the partial discharge index (PDI). Based on the damage caused to the insulation system by the PD charge and source, the PDI is used to classify the transformer condition into one of five categories: normal, questionable, harmed, critical, and dangerous. This PDI can also be used in transformer health index calculations.
