The speed of water flow inside the insulation is measured during the test period. Capacitance and power-factor mapping tests are carried out along the generator-bar length. The results show that the capacitance and dissipation factor are fluctuated reversely over a period of time.

The mechanism can produce relatively intense sparking between the surface of the stator bar and the core. The intensity of the sparking is such that it may erode the groundwall insulation much more quickly than slot discharges. Unlike the normal loose coil/slot discharge failure process, spark erosion can happen anywhere in the winding, and not just in stator bars that are operating at high voltage. For this mechanism to occur, apparently (a) the partly conductive slot coating much be much more conductive than normal; and (b) the bar must be loose in the slot and vibrating under the magnetic forces.","PeriodicalId":357443,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2008 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122978892","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}

The objective is to explore the use of some advanced techniques such as SVM and FCM and quantify their effectiveness when dealing with dissolved gases extracted from power transformers. The proposed fault diagnosis system consists of data acquisition, fault/normal diagnosis, identification of fault and analysis of aging degree parts. In data acquisition part, concentrated gases are extracted from transformer for data gas analysis. In fault/normal diagnosis part, SVM is performed to separate normal state from fault types. The determination of fault type is executed by multi-class SVM in identification part. Although the inputted data is normal state, the analysis of aging degree is performed by considering the distance measure calculated by comparing with reference model constructed by FCM and input data. Our approach makes it possible to measure the possibility and degree of aging in normal transformer as well as the identification of faults in abnormal transformer. As the simulation results to verify the effectiveness, the proposed method showed more improved classification results than conventional methods.","PeriodicalId":357443,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2008 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129876094","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 improve reliability of HVDC systems and, in particular of HVDC transmission lines, it would be important to distinguish defects of different harmfulness. However, under DC voltage the concept of phase-resolved PD pattern loses meaning and conventional techniques for PD source identification are no longer applicable. Techniques based on the statistical correlation between subsequent PD events have been proposed to identify PD sources under DC voltage. In this paper, the search for novel features able to characterize different phenomena (that can be described in broad terms as internal, surface and corona PD) is carried out. In particular, besides additional markers that have not been presented yet in literature, it is proposed to exploit the polarity- and voltage-dependent characteristics of different PD phenomena.","PeriodicalId":357443,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2008 IEEE International Symposium on Electrical Insulation","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128614701","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}
