Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of transformer winding state assessment, and in particular relates to an online transformer winding fault detection method based on transient overvoltage signals. Background Art

[0002] Power and distribution transformers are integral components of power supply networks and play a vital role in maintaining the continuity and stability of the electricity supply. Failures in these transformers can lead to power outages and financial losses. Therefore, quickly identifying and repairing faults in power transformer windings is crucial. This not only ensures the transformer can be switched on and off safely but is also essential for improving the reliability and stability of the entire power system.

[0003] When transformer windings are exposed to high-frequency signals, they can be modeled as a complex two-port network consisting of components such as resistors, inductors, and capacitors. In this two-port network model, the magnitude of the inductors and capacitors directly influences the network's behavior. If a winding fault occurs, the parameters of these components, especially the inductors and capacitors, will change significantly, affecting the performance of the entire network. Therefore, by observing changes in the winding's frequency response, we can effectively diagnose and assess whether the winding has a fault. Power systems generate transient overvoltage signals in response to load switching, lightning strikes, external faults, and protective device activation. When the high-frequency component of the transient overvoltage signal is significant, the amplitude-frequency response curve of the transformer winding can be obtained within the 1kHz to 1MHz frequency range. Currently, there is a lack of standards for accurately detecting transformer winding faults using transient overvoltage signals. This patent utilizes the readily available nature of transient overvoltage signals to propose an online transformer winding fault detection method based on transient overvoltage signals. This technology effectively diagnoses transformer winding faults, enabling timely repairs and ensuring stable power system operation, which is crucial for maintaining the continuity and reliability of the entire energy supply.
