SUMMARYThis paper suggests a new method to detect the location and the extent of the winding buckling which is based on the transfer function (TF) estimation using the vector fitting (VF) method. To study the proposed method, the verified detailed model of the transformer winding in the frequency range of kHz < f < MHz has been developed. The simulation results indicate the capability of the proposed method to localize the deformed section in the transformer winding. In addition, the proposed method presents an index for the determination of the deformation extent.
SUMMARYThis paper suggests a new method to determine the extent of the axial winding displacement which is based on the transfer function (TF) estimation using the vector-fitting (VF) method. The identification of the TF in normal and displaced conditions can be achieved properly using VF methods. To study the different degrees of mechanical displacements, a verified detailed model of transformer in the frequency range of kHz < f
Purpose -The transfer function (TF) method is a reliable tool for the detection of the transformer winding deformation and displacement. One of the most important problems is the discrimination between these mechanical defects using a measured TF. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a new method based on the TF estimation, to detect the type of the mechanical defects in high voltage inhomogeneous winding of a power transformer, i.e. the winding is not homogeneous and has interleaved and inverted disks. Design/methodology/approach -The methodology of this paper is based on the estimation of the TF and in normal and defected cases can be properly achieved using vector fitting method. To study the mechanical defects, the detailed model of the transformer is in the frequency range of kHz , f. Findings -In this paper, comparison of Nyquist diagrams of the estimated TF curves result in a new discrimination method between mechanical defects and localization of the deformed section in the transformer winding. The interpretation of the TF changes is based on comparison of the Nyquist diagrams in a selected frequency range. Originality/value -This paper suggests new discrimination method between mechanical defects and localization of the deformed section in the transformer winding which is based on the TF estimation.
