ABSTRACT

The activity of partial discharge (PD) is major problem that causes

degradation to the insulation system. Due to continuous stresses of high voltage it

may lead to complete breakdown of insulation system. Due to the high cost of

transformer windings, especially in the case of high kVA capacity, it is necessary to

find a way to localize the PD along the winding length so that only faulty part is

replaced instead of the whole winding. In this project a new technique of a digital

signal processing method based on the Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) is applied

to locate the PD. The transformer winding was modelled in Matlab using an

equivalent lumped transformer circuit for each winding section. The PD source is

injected at different section, each section represent a different PD location. The

output current was then analysed using FFT. For validation, comparisons had been

made with the results of an experimental work on the same transformer winding

configuration as well as with theoretical equations. The work has shown that the

frequency spectra of the simulated output current have the same characteristic as that

for the measured signal as well as for the theoretically derived transfer function. It is

also shown that the crests and troughs in the frequency spectra could be used for

locating the source of the discharge activity in the power transformer winding. The

frequency of the zero in the simulated spectra increases as the discharge moves away

from the measuring terminal. The poles are however not affected by the position of

the PD source. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was successfully used to

determine the section number where PD occurs based on just the frequency response

of the output current. Further studies on the effects of the modelling parameters such

as variations in the capacitance and inductance values due to factors such as ageing

on the PD localization show that the capacitance is the most sensitive parameter in

the model. In addition, it is also shown that the effect of noise on the PD localization

can be eliminated using the Free Induction Decay (FID) technique.

ABSTRAK

Aktiviti nyahcas separa (PD) adalah satu masalah besar yang menyebabkan

keburukan kepada sistem penebat. Kerosakan penuh pada sistem penebat boleh

berlaku disebabkan oleh tekanan berterusan voltan tinggi. Disebabkan harga lilitan

pengubah yang tinggi, terutama apabila melibatkan kapasiti kVA yang besar, satu

kaedah untuk menentukan lokasi PD sepanjang lilitan adalah sangat penting agar

hanya bahagian yang rosak sahaja perlu digantikan berbanding keseluruhan lilitan.

Projek ini memperkenalkan satu kaedah baru yang menggunakan pemprosesan

isyarat digital berasaskan ‗Fast Fourier Transformation‘ (FFT) bagi menentukan

lokasi PD. Lilitan pengubah dimodelkan dalam Matlab menggunakan litar setara

tergumpal bagi setiap seksyen lilitan. Sumber PD dikenakan pada setiap seksyen,

setiap seksyen mewakili satu lokasi PD. Arus keluaran kemudiannya dianalisis

menggunakan FFT. Untuk pengesahan, perbandingan telah dibuat dengan hasil

pengukuran dari pengubah yang mempunyai konfigurasi sama dan juga persamaan

teori. Didapati spektra frekuensi arus keluaran yang disimulasi mempuyai ciri yang

sama dengan ciri isyarat dari eksperimen dan dari rangkap pindah yang diterbitkan

secara teori. Puncak dan paluh spektra frekuensi boleh digunakan untuk menentukan

lokasi nyahcas separa di dalam lilitan pengubah kuasa. Frekuensi sifar pada spektra

frekuensi bertambah berkadar dengan lokasi PD menjauhi terminal pengukuran.

Walaubagaimanapun, frekuensi kutub tidak dipengaruhi oleh sumber PD. ‗Artifical

Neural Network‘ (ANN) telah digunakan dengan jayanya untuk menentukan nombor

seksyen lilitan di mana berlakunya PD berasaskan hanya sambutan frekuensi arus

keluaran. Kajian lanjutan ke atas kesan parameter model seperti perubahan kapasitan

dan keraruhan disebabkan oleh faktor seperti penuaan ke atas lokasi PD

menunjukkan kapasitan merupakan parameter model yang paling sensitif. Telah

ditunjukkan juga bahawa kesan hingar ke atas penentuan lokasi PD boleh dihapuskan

dengan menggunakan kaedah ‗Free Induction Decay‘ (FID).

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

There are many assets in electric power system, which are very expensive,

and the most significant and an expensive component in the grid station is the power

transformer. It is considered to be one of the essential and costly equipment that

operate like heart of the power system. Its insulation is very important and detection

of insulation faults is the best possible preventive measurements to avoid irreparable

damages. The life of Power transformer could be extended by insulation monitoring

through PD measurements. It is not only economically valuable, but also saves lots

of revenues. The PD activity is one of the most common phenomenon‘s that become

cause of insulation faults. Other sources are mechanical deformations, which leads to

defects in power transformers that can cause insulation failure [1]. Considering the

fact that early detection of PD can prevent complete failure of the transformer

insulation and breakdown, a precise modelling of partial discharge associated with

transformer winding in high frequencies mode has been performed. To reduce the

maintenance time and cost the exact detection of PD activity in the insulating

structure near the transformer windings has a great importance [2].

1.2 Background

Partial discharge (PD) is defined as localized electrical discharge within only

a part of the insulation between two separated conductors. In the real applications,

PD is caused by the existence of voids in the insulation. Even if the local electrical

field in the void exceeds a threshold and a dicharge occurs, it is limited within the

void due to the strong surrounding insulation, enough to avoid a complete

breakdown. PD in voids is considered harmful, especially in high-voltage systems

from the engineering viewpoint as they cause energy loss and gradually degrade the

insulation [1].

PD may occur in solid, liquid and gaseous insulation media and are generally

initiated by an excessive localized electric field. The PD induced current in an

external circuit depends on the nature of the discharge and the geometry of the

system [2]. In many cases, where there are electrically weak areas in solid dielectric

materials (most often gaseous or liquid inclusions), PD can be measured when

enough voltage is applied. PD phenomenon causes degradation in insulated

materials[3]. The investigation of insulated material behaviour under electrical stress

and the data obtained from PD measurements, provide the possibility to predict

dielectric breakdown. There are three main types of PD: (i) micro discharges in small

voids, which always exist both at the surface of electrodes and in the volume of

insulators; (ii) breakdowns along the boundaries between two insulators (typically

along the solid insulator–gas interface); and (iii) PD in the channels of branched

structures (streamers) propagating in the volume of a dielectric medium. The second

and third PD types can be considered as incomplete breakdown, since the insulating

properties of a dielectric are not violated[4,5].

Consequently, on-line PD measurement is a powerful condition monitoring

technique that is now being devcloped for use with power transformers. Techniques

for the location of a PD are of major importance in on-site maintenance and repair.

The PD pulse suffers distortion and attenuation as it travels from the site-of-origin to

Page 17: A SIGNAL PROCESSING TECHNIQUE FOR PD DETECTION …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48046/25/MohammedAbdAliAzizMFKE2014.pdf · Kerosakan penuh pada sistem ... dan keraruhan disebabkan oleh

3

the measuring terminal. Consequently, the measured signal is a highly distorted

representation of the original PD pulse, but it does contain useful information about

the location and nature of the discharge. If this information can he extracted and

analysed, the PD source may he located[6,7]. The different frequency ranges that

describe the spectra of the measured PD signal, the modes of propagation in the

transformer winding have different characteristics. In the lower frequency range (e.g.

0 to 0.0IMHz) the component of a PD pulse that propagates in the, winding is

predominantly an electromagnetic wave that travels along the galvanic path. In the

intermediate frequency range (e.g. 0.01 to 0.1MHz) the propagation is dominated by

the characteristic resonances of the winding. In the higher frequency range (e.g. 0.1

to 10 MHz) the propagation is mainly through the capacitive elements of the

winding[8,9].

The PD signals detected at the terminals of a transformer will have different

waveshapes due to the different propagation paths from the discharge source to the

terminals, even if the same type of discharge generates them.

In this project Matlab/Simulink simulation software would be used for the

detection and localization of PD phenomenon. The simulation studies have suggested

that the PD signals at the measurement terminals their propagation paths and the

transfer functions from the source of the discharge to the measuring terminal have

unique characteristics. The measurements conducted using PD calibrators on several

plain-disc-type windings A frequency spectrum representation was used during those

measurements. Studies carried out on the transfer function based PD location

techniques indicated the importance of developing these techniques into practical

applications.

1.3 Problem Statement

Some of transformer winding reaches to many thousand dollars specially in

the case of high KVA capacity. The popular test had been done by detecting the fault

like partial discharge without localizing the PD in the winding, and the problem

solved by replacing the whole winding and hence expensive cost. To overcome this

economical issue it is necessary to find a way to localize PD along the winding

length so that only faulty part is replaced instead of the whole winding. This concept

is very useful especially in a disk type transformer winding, when replacing a portion

of the winding instead of the whole winding.

Voluminous digital PD data are nowadays readily available with constant

improvement in PD measurement techniques. Power engineer may be able to detect

prominent PDs using oscilloscope and existing couplers. But identification of the

types of developing and random occurring PD is a real challenge to any practicing

engineer. In this thesis a new technique of a digital signal processing method such as

fast fourier transformation (FFT) is applied to analyse PD detection and localization

in transformer winding.

PD activities may cause deviation of the transformer winding parameters. The

deviation of the transformer parameters are due to many reasons like for example

heating during operation aging and deterioration of the winding insulation. Hence

reduces the sensitivity of the measurements and the uncertainties in the estimation of

transformer parameters.

When the winding was energised there was significant audible and electrical

noise due to core vibration. The result was an increase in the noise level in the time

domain signals. For the corresponding frequency spectra, the noise only affects the

spectra in the lower frequency range, i.e. below 50kHz. Various time and frequency

domain de-noising techniques are adopted for the extraction of PD signal. Signal

processing methods to post process the measurements have been utilised, resulting to

a rejection of the noise and improvement of the sensitivity.
