Therefore, the incipient turn-to-turn short-circuit faults are often undetected, resulting in massive accidents. Incipient turn-to-turn short-circuit faults lead to localized overheating in the transformer, which changes the transformer's oil-tank surface temperature (OTST). A thermal simulation model (TSM) is presented. Based on the TSM, OTST data with different load rates and fault parameters are collected. The steady-state and transient characteristics of OTST are analysed by extracting the OTST feature vector and the temperature difference of specific regions. The results show that the growth of the heat production value of faulty coils causes a rise in the OTST; higher faulty coils' locations lead to wider OTST differences; the temperature difference's area S can follow the incipient short-circuit fault in the first 20 min after it occurs, which is faster than the top oil temperature. This study gives insight into the thermal behaviour of OTST, assisting in fault detection and location at the incipient fault stage.</p>","PeriodicalId":54999,"journal":{"name":"Iet Science Measurement & Technology","volume":"18 6","pages":"310-323"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/smt2.12200","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141365584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Underwater complex environment makes DVL output vulnerable to non-Gaussian noise pollution, which makes it difficult to converge the SINS misalignment angle to within 1° based on analytical coarse alignment. This is to say, the performance of SINS fine alignment via Kalman filter will be degraded because the model of initial alignment exhibits non-linearity. The inaccurate and/or unknown prior information of measurement noise statistical characteristics will also degrade the filtering performance. To ensure the SINS/DVL alignment accuracy under non-linear, non-Gaussian and uncertain conditions, this paper proposed a robust adaptive unscented Kalman filter (UKF) based on Variational Bayesian (VB) method (VBRAUKF). The proposed VBRAUKF improves the adaptability and robustness of UKF from the following two main aspects. Firstly, an adaptive estimation strategy for the measurement noise covariance is designed based on the VB algorithm, which can restrain the effect of inaccurate observation model and improve the adaptive ability of the filtering method. Secondly, an expansion factor is designed based on Mahalanobis distance algorithm, which can restrain the effect of non-Gaussian noise and improve the robustness of the filtering method.

Herein, a simultaneous electromagnetic field probing system with Y-shaped separation detection structure (SEMPS Y) is first proposed, in which the electric field probing region and the magnetic field probing region of the probe are separated by completely covering the shield along the loop and adding a pin-shaped metal wire to capture the electric field, which are not the same as the classical dual probe structure. Combined with the non-rotating asymmetric calibration method (NRACM), a 4-port vector network analyser (VNA) and a highly symmetric grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) calibrator are used to solve the calibration matrix of the asymmetric SEMPS Y. The high symmetry GCPW calibrator is used to generate the standard electromagnetic field for calibration. The results of standing wave measurements show that the SEMPS Y can achieve ultrawideband electromagnetic field measurement of up to 20 GHz. Based on near-field scanning measurements, SEMP Y can obtain results consistent with the calculation. In addition, when the probe is rotated 90° to invalidate the H-field input, the decoupling curves of E-field and H-field are measured.

First, a dual-branch feature representation network comprising an iterative attention-feature fusion residual neural network and a long short-term memory network is designed for extracting different modal features. Meanwhile, intermodal fusion of the extracted features is performed through multilayer perception. Based on the cost-sensitive regularization loss, a new joint loss function is then designed for network training.

This paper analyses the spatial energy-density distribution of time-reversed electromagnetic fields by introducing a convergence metric based on the spatial average and variance of the energy density. It is analytically proven that the proposed metric identifies the focusing time and the source location, with direct links to the source frequency content. The analytical results are verified in a free-space numerical simulation and the proposed metric is then compared to existing ones in a simulated inhomogeneous medium. Next, this metric is applied and compared in an experimental case study to localize electromagnetic interference sources.

An experimental platform with a needle-plate electrode was developed to investigate this phenomenon. The platform was used to detect PD activity and electrical tree propagation in XLPE under a 50 Hz voltage at various temperatures. The results indicate that an increase in insulation temperature leads to an increase in the number of PDs and a decrease in the inception voltage. Simultaneously, it has been observed that a rise in temperature can facilitate the spread of electrical trees. To explicate the aforementioned PD result, a finite element analysis (FEA) model has been developed.

This paper analyses the performance of a PD location method based on electromagnetic time reversal (EMTR) theory, when interfering reflections contribute to the transient signals emitted by the PD event. The topology analysed is formed from a ring main unit (RMU) in a medium voltage grid with mixed cross-linked polyethylene and paper-insulated lead-covered (PILC) cable sections. The PD reflection patterns, observed at the RMU, are disturbed by the reflections coming from the impedance discontinuities of the circuit and by the reflections coming from the cable ends of the PILC cables connected to the RMU. The simulated configuration is chosen such that classical location techniques tend to fail due to overlapping peaks and other signal distortion. This is because the classic techniques are based on identifying individual reflection peaks from which the PD source can be determined via differences in time of arrival. The numerical investigation shows that the accuracy of the EMTR-based location method is robust against these effects, achieving a PD localisation with an error less than the 0.1%. The results also show that the EMTR-based method can localise PDs using a PD monitoring point located somewhere along the network and not necessarily at the line termination.</p>","PeriodicalId":54999,"journal":{"name":"Iet Science Measurement & Technology","volume":"18 9","pages":"641-648"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/smt2.12197","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140694705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
