It deserves great concern that abundant amount of SF6 use in the earth’s atmosphere because this gas is known to be a kind of “greenhouse gas”. Also, metal particles inevitably appearing in the pipeline of DC GIL which may do damage to GIL and cause a serious threat to its insulation safe and reliable operation. This paper aims to focus on experimental study on the difference in insulation strength of SF6 gas and the mixture of two gases (SF6 and N2) with and without using conducting particle under DC voltage in the ball-bowl electrode arrangement. Moreover, spherical conducting particle is selected to simulate metal particle defects in GIL and they are set to the floating position. Breakdown characteristics of SF6 gas and (SF6-N2) gas mixtures have been measured in non-uniform electric field when the SF6 gas mixture ratio (70%, 50%, 30% and 20%) and the pressure is between 0.1MPa and 0.5MPa under the positive and negative polarity of DC voltage. The experiment results show that DC negative polarity is more severe as compared with positive polarity. In addition, it is found that there is no significant increase in breakdown voltage when the pressure is more than 0.3MPa in the presence of particle but the growth trend is clear without particle. The equivalencies between the breakdown voltage of SF6 and SF6-N2 gas mixtures were analyzed with and without the presence of conducting spherical particle and tried to predict the improved breakdown voltage SF6-N2 gases mixture using Artificial Neural Network technique.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116124969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With decreasing pressure, the dissolved gases diffuse out of the insulation liquid and accumulate in gas phase. This gas leakage may be diagnosed as a fault in transformer by monitoring systems. However, it should be differentiated from a fault decomposing the insulation material. It is known that the conventional insulating liquid exhibit to some extent a different degassing behavior in comparison to the new alternatives. In addition to the erroneous fault indication, the gassing properties as well as the solubility of gasses influence the accuracy of the dissolved gas analysis. By determining the concentration of key gases and specific ratios among them, the type of fault can be classified. The gassing behavior of various liquids depends on many factors, such as pressure, temperature and of course the type of the insulation liquid. Therefore, the specification of the gassing and degassing behavior of new alternative insulating fluids is of critical importance.In this study, two different test vessels were built to determine the different gassing characteristics under laboratory conditions. On the one hand a simple arrangement with glass vessels was constructed to represent a kind of gas trap and on the other hand a scaled model of the transformer tank with a long diffusion way and a small contact to the gas phase above the liquid. The tests were performed at different pressure and temperature values by using a vacuum oven. To analyze the influence of these parameters on the gassing behavior, the pressure was kept at three different values: 800 mbar, 900 mbar and 950 mbar. Furthermore, the measurements were performed at various temperatures namely, $40^{circ}C$ and $80^{circ}C$. A synthetic ester, an uninhibited mineral oil and a gas-to-liquid (GtL) oil were investigated. Before and after each test a dissolved gas analysis was performed.

In view of the excellent insulation performance and environmental friendliness of plant dielectric oil, it has been gradually applied to power transformers in recent years. In oil-impregnated transformers, the paper insulation between turns in the winding often endures high temperature. As the rapid increase of temperature of the insulation paper over the conductor, the moisture in paper can be vaporized. It turns out a rapid rise in vapour and gas pressure within the inner layers of the paper. Finally, water vapour escapes from the surface of insulation paper in the form of gaseous bubbles, which constitutes a risk for transformer operation, especially when bubbles move into an area with high dielectric stress.This study experimentally investigated the evolution of gaseous bubbles in a wet oil-paper insulation system with FR3. The difference in inception temperature and heating rate between plant insulation oil and mineral insulation oil is emphatically compared. The effects of surface tension of oil, gradient of temperature rise and moisture content of dielectric oil on the inception temperature are analyzed.

This study aims to investigate the impact of thermal degradation on ester oils during the operation of power transformer using UV-Vis optical spectroscopy technique. First, several aged ester oil samples were prepared using an accelerated aging experiment. In addition, aged mineral oil samples were prepared to compare the impact of aging on both. Then, these samples were tested using optical spectroscopy test. The obtained optical spectra have been investigated and the aging by-products could be evaluated.

Mineral insulating oils, synthetic esters and natural esters are different types of liquid insulating materials. During prolonged service in electrical apparatus these oils undergo deterioration, mainly due to continuous oxidation. Hence, the long-term performance of insulating oils depends on the stability to oxidation. This behaviour is usually termed as resistance to the oxidation process or oxidation stability. Oxidation stability test as per test method IEC 61125 and ASTM D2112 are familiar methods to test the oils. According to IEC 61125 (Method C) the insulating oil, is conditioned at 120°C, with copper catalyst and by bubbling zero air over a duration of 48 hours for natural esters, 164 hours for uninhibited oils and synthetic esters, 500 hours for Inhibited oils. Rotating Pressure Vessel Oxidation Test method (RPVOT) as per ASTM D2112 requires copper catalyst and oxygen pressure of 620 kpa is allowed to oxidize the oil sample at 140°C. Zero air bubbling method assesses the oil based on measurement of dissipation factor, acidity and and sludge development for mineral oil and synthetic esters and dissipation factor, acidity and viscosity for natural esters. RPVOT method measures the induction period. Although the IEC 61125 is conventional, it is time consuming and the RPVOT curve for natural esters cannot be distinguished due to the poor stability characteristics of natural esters. This paper presents the results carried out to measure oxidation stability by using a new method named as Rapid Small Scale Oxidation Test (RSSOT) as per ASTM D7545, using petroxy equipment to measure the induction period. Oxidation stability test has been carried out on mineral insulating oils, synthetic esters and natural esters. The results are compared to assess the suitability of the rapid small scale method for evaluating the stability of insulation oils. It is found that the rapid small scale method is suitable to measure the oxidation stability and the results are comparable to the conventional methods. Further, natural ester and synthetic ester was analyzed both with copper catalyst and without catalyst. It was found that presence of copper catalyst accelerates the rate of oxidation of both synthetic ester and natural ester. RSSOT has the advantage of being a rapid method, simple and easy to use, and where only a small quantity of sample is needed, thereby reducing the risks to safety and waste sample disposal problems.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134275473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to study the application of hyperspectral imaging technology in the detection of insulator pollution degree, a new data processing method is produced. On the one hand, the result of spectral processing shows that there are corresponding relationships between the pollution degree and the reflectivity value, the reflectivity waveform and base material.

Thus a recognition method was brought up by this paper to connect the ultrasonic spectrum to transformer oil conditions through Convolutional Neural Network. First of all, for the transformer oil test data, by using the density-based clustering method, the “ standard oil” and other “degraded oils” approaching the standard are distinguished to achieve the purpose of distinguishing the quality of the transformer oil. Then, the principal component analysis is used to reduce the dimensionality of the ultrasonic spectrum data of the transformer oil. The dimensionality classification results of the reduced dimensional ultrasonic spectrum data and transformer oil test parameters are used as the input and output data of the algorithm model.
