A Two-Dimensional Cloud Model for Condition Assessment of HVDC Converter Transformers

چکیده
Converter transformers are the key and the most important components in high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission systems. Statistics show that the failure rate of HVDC converter transformers is approximately twice of that of transformers in AC power systems. This paper presents an approach integrated with a two-dimensional cloud model and an entropy-based weight model to evaluate the condition of HVDC converter transformers. The integrated approach can describe the complexity of HVDC converter transformers and achieve an effective assessment of their condition. Data from electrical testing, DGA, oil testing, and visual inspection were chosen to form the double-level assessment index system. Analysis results show that the integrated approach is capable of providing a relevant and effective assessment which in turn, provides valuable information for the maintenance of HVDC converter transformers.

During the last three decades, reliability analysis of power systems considering transformers, breakers, transmission lines, and generators failure has been widely applied. This analysis has been done especially in the generation and transmission levels and is mainly restricted to high voltage alternating current (HVAC) systems. HVDC transmission systems are becoming increasingly popular when c...
متن کاملHVDC Feeder Solution for Electric Railways
For AC railway power supply systems with a different frequency than the public grid, high-voltage AC (HVAC) transmission lines are common, connected to the catenary by transformers. This paper suggests an alternative design based on an HVDC (High Voltage DC) feeder, which is connected to the catenary by converters. Such an HVDC line would also be appropriate for DC-fed railways and AC-fed railw...
