Development of Condition Monitoring Instrumentation for Sensing Power Transformers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this work is the design and development of the Data Acquisition and Storage parts of a measurement system that will be used for the Condition Monitoring (CM) of Power Transformers. The data captured from the sensors and stored in a database will be used by an application that will predict the behavior of the Power Transformer. Data Store and Data Acquisition were developed using Data Warehouse techniques and Virtual Instruments. This paper focuses in the description of the Data Acquisition subsystem, although a brief introduction to the other subsystems will be made. The CM system is currently installed and working properly in four electric Power Transformers.

Condition Monitoring Techniques of Power Transformers: A Review
Power transformers provide a vital link between the generation and distribution of produced energy. Such static equipment is subjected to abuse during operation in generation and distribution stations and leads to catastrophic failures. This paper reviewed the techniques in the field of condition monitoring of power transformers in recent years. Transformer monitoring and diagnosis are the effe...
متن کاملModeling the Frequency Response Movements in Power Transformers for Predicting Purposes
Power transformers are key components in electrical power supplies and their failure could cause severe consequences on continuity of service and also generates substantial costs. Identifying problems at an early stage, before catastrophic failure occurs, is a great benefit for reliable operation of power transformers. Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) is a new, well-known and powerful diagnost...
متن کاملPower transformers health index calculation using reliability methods for the case study of the Dez Dam and Karkheh Dam hydro power plants
Transformers in power plants act as intermediaries between the power plant and the power grid, which are affected by electrical stresses such as switching, thermal stresses such as overload and arc, and chemical reactions in the dielectric oil. Acid and moisture components cause deterioration of transformer oil and paper insulation. Condition assessment of transformers is a method to predict an...
متن کاملA novel optical sensor for the measurement of furfuraldehyde in transformer oil
Measuring the concentration of furfuraldehyde (FFA) within oil samples taken periodically from power transformers is usually carried out as a means of condition monitoring. Normally, laboratory-based techniques such as high performance liquid chromatography are applied for this measurement. We report the construction of a novel optoelectronic sensor for the determination of FFA in transformer o...
