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

The assessment of the winding deformation of transformer has a certain practical significance. In this paper, an Improved Ultrasonic Ranging (IUR) method is proposed to assess the winding deformation of transformer. Firstly, the basic principle of winding deformation detection using ultrasonic and the working principle of detection device are discussed. Secondly, the impact of the factors such as transformer oil temperature and echo signal attenuation on the test results is analyzed. Then, a new IUR method is composed, which can realize the on-line monitoring of transformer winding deformation. Finally, an assessment equipment of transformer winding deformation based on the online monitoring is developed, and a prototype is used to test the transformer mode, proving that this method is feasible.

The paper introduces a design scheme for the Extra High Voltage (EHV) transformer condition on-line monitoring system, which is based on the collection and analysis of the transformer winding and core vibration signals. This system is composed of vibration acceleration signal sensors and the signal analyzing computer where the collected vibration signal is saved and processed. The analyzing computer can accomplish the missions of data acquisition control, data analysis and the historical data query. Vibration characteristic values of transformer winding and core include peak to peak value, spectrum, kurtosis, and the amplitude 100Hz component and its higher harmonic components. They are extracted, and the characteristic trend curves are drawn by data analysis, so that EHV transformer on-line monitoring and fault diagnosis are accomplished.

Abstract The short-circuit withstand capability test of distribution transformer has the characteristics of long test period, high cost, strong destructiveness, low qualification rate, and can not be verified by simulation or calculation. It has become the bottleneck restricting the engineering and industrialization development of transformer industry. Based on experimental big data, this paper uses the expert diagnosis method of fuzzy mathematics to establish a superior evaluation model. The typical design process of distribution transformers is scored by experts, and the short-circuit passing rate is calculated according to the real short-circuit test data. Linear regression analysis is used to establish the regression equation, and a pre-diagnosis technique for short-circuit withstand capability of distribution transformers is proposed. At the same time, the validity of the model is verified by the actual case, and the accurate pre-diagnosis of the resistance to short-circuit capability is realized. It breaks through the common key technologies of the transformer industry and provides an early warning for the quality control of power grid pro-ducts and the elimination of hidden danger products. It has important theoretical guiding significance and engineering application value.
