Abstract The detection of transformer winding deformation caused by short-circuit current is of great significance to the realization of condition based maintenance. Considering the influence of environment and measurement errors, an online deformation detection method is proposed based on the analysis of leakage inductance changes. First, the operation expressions are derived on the basis of the equivalent circuit and the leakage inductance parameters are identified by the partial least squares regression algorithm. Second, the amount of the leakage inductance samples in a detection time window is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation thought, and then the samples in the confidence interval are obtained. Last, a criteria is built by the mean value changes of the leakage inductance samples and the winding deformation is detected. The online detection method considers the random fluctuation characteristics of the leakage inductance samples, adjust the threshold value automatically, and can quantify the change range to assess the severity. Based on the field data, the distribution of the leakage inductance samples is analyzed to obey the normal function approximately. Three deformation experiments are done by different sub-winding connections and the detection results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method

Distribution transformer constitutes a significant asset for any distribution power system. Short circuit currents or forces can cause mechanical faults in transformer winding. In order to discover the hidden trouble of the transformer, in this paper, on-line monitoring system based on FRA method is developed, and signal source, signal injection, system software are introduced. Furthermore, a nanosecond impulse signal generator is used to inject impulse signals through a noninvasive capacitive sensor, to realize on-line monitoring for winding deformation of distribution transformer. Finally, the monitoring system is validated by a corresponding experimental study.

At present, the detection of transformer winding deformation faults is carried out in an offline state, which requires the transformer to cooperate with the implementation of planned power outages, or it takes place after the sudden failure of the transformer when it is out of operation. It is difficult to obtain the status information of the windings online in time. Since the transformer will suffer very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO) impact during operation, combined with the principle of the frequency response method, an online detection method of transformer winding deformation based on VFTO is proposed. In order to study the frequency response characteristics of transformer winding under the impact of VFTO, the generation process of VFTO is simulated by simulation software, and the equivalent circuit model of transformer winding before and after deformation is established. The VFTO signal is injected into the transformer circuit model as an excitation source, and the changes of resonant frequencies of frequency response curve under different deformation types and different deformation degrees of winding are analyzed. The simulation results show that the frequency response curves of different winding deformation types are different. Different deformation degrees are simulated by increasing the radial capacitance by 4%, 13%, and 23%, series inductance by 2%, 4%, and 6%, and longitudinal capacitance by 3%, 6%, and 9%, and the change of resonance frequencies can comprehensively reflect the deformation information of winding. At the same time, the tests of different deformation types and deformation degrees of the simulated winding are carried out. The results show that with the deepening of the change degree of the simulated fault inductance value, the frequency response curve shifts to the low-frequency direction, confirming the feasibility of the online detection method of transformer winding deformation based on VFTO.

The frequency response analysis (FRA) is a effective diagnostic method in monitoring the deformation of transformer winding. This paper uses the current sweep-sequency source as the excitation to replace the voltage source in the traditional method.And the frequency response curves can be drawn from the current signal rather than the voltage signal.It can be judged whether there is deformation in the transform winding by comparing the frequency response curves.The method can realize the on-line monitoring and diagnosis for the transformers whose neutral points is grounded directly. The Research Background The safety of transform is the necessary condition for power system operation. As the increasing of power system capacity,the short-circuit current will be bigger than before.Therefore, transformer will take more risk of winding deformation.
