Fractional Lumped Parameter Modeling of Transformer Windings under VFTO

Abstract

Very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO) is very dangerous for the transformer which is directly connected to gas insulated substations (GIS). At the same time, due to the continuous increasing of operating frequency in the power system, under the high frequencies of the transmission line calculation and simulation process, it is necessary to consider the frequency-dependent properties of the parameter. In order to study the voltage distribution in transformer windings under VFTO, a new Lumped parameter model which takes into account the fractional characteristics is proposed, named fractional lumped parameter model (FLP). The model divides each turn of transformer windings into proper sections, whose parameters are all lumped parameters. Finally it shows the correctness and validity of the model through the comparation of the experiment datas and simulation results.
