In this paper, a new model based on the thevenin equivalent circuit for investigating the ultra-saturation phenomenon during the energization of a loaded power transformer is presented and its effect on the differential protection of the transformer is considered. The ultra-saturation phenomenon causes the mal-operation of the power transformer differential protection. So, the description a...

An overview of the research and developments into new transformer design, undertaken in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Canterbury, is presented. Initially, single phase, 50 Hz, l1/0.23kV pole mount distribution transformers were fitted with either silicon or amorphous steel cores. The transformer tanks were filled with either standard transformer oil or liq...

This paper deals with three types of power transformer failure analysis tests which can help in monitoring the transformer condition. The three methods are Conventional oil test, Furan derivatives test and Markov models criteria. Conventional oil testing procedure includes determination of gas concentrations in the transformer oil sample and analyzing the fault by considering ratio of two suita...

One of transient phenomenon that causes the mal-operation of the power transformer differential protection during the energization of a loaded power transformer is the ultra-saturation phenomenon. In this paper, a new model for investigating the ultra-saturation phenomenon during the energization of a loaded power transformer is presented and its effect on the differential protection of the pow...

This paper proposes a new method to detect transformer inside incipient fault current using transformer internal parameters to determine the inside structure of transformer at good condition or bad. A transformer model was established by Jiles– Atherton theory using measured voltage and current and the initial parameters which were found using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Then, transformer internal ...

This research assesses the well-to-tank (WTT) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and economic performance of an innovative bio-jet fuel via acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation. Dutch potato by-products from food processing industry sugar beets are explored as potential feedstocks. Four product systems differentiated by feedstocks, logistics centralized/decentralized fermenters investigated. ...

In transformer fault diagnosis, dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is been widely employed for a long period and numerous methods have been innovated to interpret its results. Still in some cases it fails to identify the corresponding faults. Due to the limitation of training data and non-linearity, the estimation of key-gas ratio in the transformer oil becomes more complicated. This paper presents I...

in this article, a multi-objective function for placement of distributed generation (dg) and capacitors with thetap setting of under load tap changer (ultc) transformer is introduced. most of the recent articles have paidless attention to dg, capacitor placement and ultc effects in the distribution network simultaneously. insimulations, a comparison between different modes was carried out with,...

This paper presents the general knowledge, theory and methodology of life management that used in electric power transformer. The paper also discusses the basic failure theory and method to establish failure model of power transformer. Insulation ageing is a problem due to dielectric, chemical, thermal and electro-mechanic stresses, which is highly depending on operational conditions. Life mana...
