During those twenty years, this technology has proven itself as an important tool to enhance the reliability of aging infrastructure. Incremental improvements during those twenty years have aided in the widespread commercial acceptance of the technology on at least four continents. There are some concerns with the current technology, which has been utilized by over 150 utilities worldwide. These include: (1) A higher than desirable post-injection failure profile, due to the slow permeation of the fluid into the dielectric and the resulting slow increase in dielectric performance after injection of approximately 0.5% per day, (2) a limited cable life extension of 10-20 years as suggested by, (3) safety and operational issues related to the low flash point (-5.5 /spl deg/C), and (4) the corrosion of aluminum conductors that occasionally results in failure of treated cables caused by high concentrations of methanol by-product of the most widely-used treatment fluids. A novel approach, which includes new installation methods and new materials to extend the life of power cables, is described. Theory and experiments are discussed which demonstrate that the new approach addresses all of the current shortcomings associated with the first generation technology. In comparison to the technology employed over the last two decades, the new technology provides: (1) More rapid short-term reliability the post-injection dielectric performance improvement slope is greater than an order of magnitude steeper, (2) longer rejuvenated cable life approaching the 40 year expected life for the highest performance modern cable designs, (3) an inherently safer installation, including lower flammability fluids, which have flash points in excess of 65 /spl deg/C, and an injection paradigm, which dramatically reduces the likelihood of electrical contact, and (4) compatibility with all aluminum alloy and copper alloy conductors.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121521825","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}

There are a total of 31 parameters extracted and 11 were found to be closely correlated to the aging stages and are used as aging characteristic parameters in the following analysis. In order to identify the proper aging conditions, the cluster method is used to analyze 30 vectors extracted from 6 samples at 5 different aging stages. It is shown that different samples have the similar performance at the same aging stage. The 30 vectors are used to obtain discriminant functions. The characteristic vector with eleven-dimensions is mapped to two-dimensions and the other 30 vectors are analyzed using discriminant functions.

Fringing electric fields exist between any two parallel conducting plates of finite length and the additional capacitance these fields add is not easily accounted for. It is important to account for edge effects in many capacitive sensing applications in order to ensure accurate results. Unfortunately, these edge effects are not easily quantifiable and are subject to change with varying sensor geometries. A quantitative relationship between fringing field strength and sensor geometry will improve the accuracy of many capacitive sensing applications. This work presents finite element simulations showing the influence of variable plate separation on fringing field effects in a system designed to measure the dielectric properties of a fluid. A quantitative relationship is established that relates the sensor response to the plate distance and fluid position. This relationship can be applied to experimental data in order to compensate for any edge effects present in the system.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134549836","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}

Because of the economic motivation, preventive tests and diagnosis are of benefit to predict fault conditions, optimize maintenance and increase reliability of power transformers. There is a large amount of academic and industry researches into transformer diagnosis and maintenance. Advanced diagnostic techniques and recently introduced online monitoring approaches for power transformers, provide the means to enhance the classical maintenance program. Therefore it is necessary to change from time based maintenance program to a condition based diagnosis procedure. In this contribution we introduce diagnosis and condition based maintenance programs for power transformers. This program, according to the current situation and periodical inspections of transformer, will suggest a procedure for performing diagnosis and maintenance. The condition based diagnosis process uses some of the current diagnosis methods (e.g. oil test, DGA, PD, etc.) to determine the condition of the transformer. In this process, we don't use all of the diagnostic methods in the first step, but, rather we suggest some methods step by step based on the transformer condition.","PeriodicalId":342687,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132250579","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}
