In this paper we present the model of digital stochastic DFT processor. Compared to the classical DFT/FFT processors, the proposed model has two advantages: first, it is much simpler and cheaper to implement, and second, it allows us to compute individual DFT components either in isolation or in parallel. In order to prove the validity of our model, we have simulated the measurement of reactive power and energy. In addition, we have conducted several experiments under field and laboratory conditions. The obtained results have shown that reactive power and energy can be measured with an accuracy of several ppm.
Mineral oils may react with the copper conductors in oil impregnated transformers, leading both to the formation of dissolved and suspended copper in the oil and to the deposition of copper onto the paper surface of the solid insulation. Available standard methods for copper detection in mineral oil may not be fully effective in assessing the total copper content. Dissolved and suspended copper species in the oil are shown to affect oil's losses to a different extent. Unused oils are investigated to elucidate their tendency to dissolve copper in the oil and to deposit it onto the paper surface. Oil's inherent properties, the presence of additives and the reaction conditions may significantly vary the magnitude of the copper dissolution, as well as the transfer of copper to the paper tapes. A tentative relationship between the deposited copper and the paper's dielectric properties is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
