Transformer Oils

The service life of transformers and, as a consequence, of the electric power systems depends largely on the chemical composition and electrical insulating properties of the oil. In this regard, much attention is paid to the control of physical and chemical indicators and operational properties of transformer oils. The aim of this work is to determine the important diagnostic parameters such as the acid number and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of the transformer oil based on the measured coordinates of the color of the transformer oil. This goal is achieved by the study of the coordinates of the transformer oils chromaticity. For this purpose, a white light source is used, which is a LED with a pumping line of 450 nm and a maximum radiation in the region of 550-560 nm, with radiation in the range from 400 to 800 nm. Sensors 1, 2, 3 allow determining the chromaticity coordinates of the measured source R, G, B (red, green, blue), due to several receivers having spectral characteristics of sensitivity in the corresponding region of the visible spectrum. The most significant result of the work was the establishment of correlations between the TM chromaticity coordinatesб their acid number and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of TM. The significance of the results obtained was that the acid number and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of the transformer oil could be determined by the chromaticity coordinates, and hence, by the color of the oil.

Dielectric Loss Angle

Precise measurement of dielectric loss angle is very important for electric capacity equipment in recent power systems. When signal-to-noise is low and fundamental frequency is fluctuating, aiming at the measuring error of dielectric loss angle based on some recent Fourier transform and wavelet transform harmonics analysis method, we propose a novel algorithm based on sparse representation, and improved it to be more flexible for signal sampling. Comparison experiments describe the advantages of our method.

Transformer Oils

Machine learning is widely used as a panacea in many engineering applications including the condition assessment of power transformers. Most statistics attribute the main cause of transformer failure to insulation degradation. Thus, a new, simple, and effective machine-learning approach was proposed to monitor the condition of transformer oils based on some aging indicators. The proposed approach was used to compare the performance of two machine-learning classifiers: J48 decision tree and random forest. The service-aged transformer oils were classified into four groups: the oils that can be maintained in service, the oils that should be reconditioned or filtered, the oils that should be reclaimed, and the oils that must be discarded. From the two algorithms, random forest exhibited a better performance and high accuracy with only a small amount of data. Good performance was achieved through not only the application of the proposed algorithm but also the approach of data preprocessing. Before feeding the classification model, the available data were transformed using the simple k-means method. Subsequently, the obtained data were filtered through correlation-based feature selection (CFsSubset). The resulting features were again retransformed by conducting the principal component analysis and were passed through the CFsSubset filter. The transformation and filtration of the data improved the classification performance of the adopted algorithms, especially random forest. Another advantage of the proposed method is the decrease in the number of the datasets required for the condition assessment of transformer oils, which is valuable for transformer condition monitoring.

Electromagnetic Oscillations

The methods for measuring the parameters of dielectric materials of foil plates have been considered. It has been shown that for “non-destructive measurements” (i.e., without removing the metal foil from the dielectric plate), a method based on the excitation of electromagnetic oscillations in a rectangular plate considered as a resonator can be used. Based on the results of measurements of their resonant frequencies and Q-factors, the relative permittivity and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of the material can be determined. The calculated relations obtained by the authors of the article in one of the early works using the electrodynamic model of a resonator with “magnetic walls” at the ends have been presented. The Q-factor of the resonator has been calculated by the perturbation method, taking into account the losses in the plate dielectric and metallization layers. The results of measurements for four samples from different dielectrics in the frequency range 200...1000 MHz have been presented. The experimental method has been described, in particular, the method of identifying the type of oscillation, the procedure for processing the measurement results. Due to the high sensitivity of the vector analyzer, measurements have been made with a possible small connection of the resonator (metallized plate) with the measuring circuit. This made it possible to minimize the influence of the coupling elements on the measured Qfactor of the oscillations and to consider this Q-factor close to its own. The presented results are in good agreement with the reference data for the materials. The conducted studies have shown the possibility of using a resonator model with “magnetic walls” at the ends for the analysis of electromagnetic oscillations in a foil dielectric plate and, accordingly, using the relations obtained in this case to determine the parameters of the dielectric plate. The conditions for using this model are the small thickness of the plate in comparison with its transverse dimensions and relatively low operating frequencies. The method, which is based on the calculated ratios of the electrodynamic model of the resonator with “magnetic” walls at the ends, provides a sufficiently high accuracy of determining the relative permittivity of the plate material, which led to the use of it (the method) in practice to control the parameters of foil dielectric plates intended for the manufacture of microwave and UHF-band microcircuits. The studies, the results of which have been presented in this paper, allow us to conclude that this method can also be recommended for determining the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of the plate material.

The theoretical foundations of changes in the transformer oil quality characteristics, depending on the aging degree, are presented. The introduction of a new indicator of the exploitational transformer oils quality – “stability against oxidation” – is substantiated as a way of solving the scientific and technical problem of assessing the resource characteristics of a transformer insulating system. In order to select the best measures to maintain the quality of power transformers insulating oils, a newly developed “Method for the Experimental Determination of the Luquid Dielectric Resource and Measures for its Restoration” is presented.
