Remote Monitoring of Incipient Faults Using Gprs in Power Transformers

چکیده
− One of the most applied procedures for detention of incipient faults in power transformers, such as partial discharges, electrical arcing and overheating, is the analysis of the concentration of gases dissolved in the isolating mineral oil. This analysis usually is carried through in a laboratory through chromatography in gaseous phase. Although it presents trustworthy results the chromatography brings some inconveniences as the need of a periodic sampling along with the distance from the laboratory to the substation of electric energy. There are some measurement systems available with the capacity to carry through this analysis in the field. However these devices are costly, not justifying its use in a dedicated form in low cost power transformers. In such a way, a project for the monitoring of multiples transformers was initiated using only one measurement system. One of the most important features of the developed equipment is its capability to remote control and monitor. Thus, an Internet procedure based in GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) technology was developed. The use of the GPRS for remote communication made possible the development of an equipment more independent, capable to transmit and receive commands from different substation of electric energy.

Transformer Internal Incipient Fault Simulations
Transformer fault detection and diagnosis is becoming more important due to the restructuring of the electric power industry. In this era of deregulation, loading transformers to their optimum capacity is becoming normal practice, which in turn applies high stresses on the insulation of the transformers and increases the probability of occurrence of internal incipient faults. Such faults can le...

متن کاملDiagnosis of incipient faults in power transformers using CMAC neural network approach
Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is one of the most useful techniques to detect the incipient faults of power transformer. However, the identification of the faulted location by the traditional method is not always an easy task due to the variability of gas data and operational natures. In this paper, a novel cerebellar model articulation controller (CMAC) neural network (NN) method is presented fo...
متن کاملExpert System for the Fault Diagnosis of Oil-Filled Power Transformer Using Dissolved Gas Analysis
Faults and damage in oil-filled power transformers has a devastating effect on the overall reliability of electrical power systems. Several factors, especially electrical and thermal stresses age the transformer and subject them to incipient faults. These faults, if left undetected will cause deterioration and eventually lead to failure of the transformer [1]. The presence of faults such as arc...
