The paper deals with experimental identification of transformer internal faults, an important factor in reliability and sustainability of power supply systems. Task of identification of transformer internal faults requires increasing sensitivity of relay protection by calculation of components most sensitive to interwire faults from transformer current. In order to study internal faults in transformer, the model in Simulink MATLAB was developed on the basis of transformer constitutive equations. Transformer with short circuited wires was simulated as a multiwinding transformer. We provide the calculation of transformer parameters. Model was applied for analysis of transients in power transformers, such as interwire fault, transformer inrush, and fault in transformer connections. Analysis of power transformer internal faults by means of time-dependent symmetrical components of currents is provided. These symmetrical components were calculated for the first harmonic of current by means of discrimination of firs harmonic by low-pass filter and compensating elements implementing phase shift. Described method allows calculation of symmetrical components during transient and under non-sinusoidal conditions. Simulation results showed the advantage of instantaneous symmetrical components of other direct values. Those components were implemented in relay protection algorithms for identification of internal faults in transformers.

Load Tap Changer

The specific features relating to voltage control of power transformers at distribution network transformer substations are considered. An approach to implementing high-speed on-load voltage control of serially produced 10/0.4 kV power transformers by using a solid-state on-load tap changer (SOLTC) is presented. An example of the SOLTC circuit solution on the basis of thyristor switches is given. On-load voltage control algorithms for power transformers equipped with SOLTC that ensure high reliability and high-speed operation are proposed. The SOLTC performance and the operability of the suggested voltage control algorithms were studied by simulation in the Matlab/Simulink environment and by experiments on the SOLTC physical model. The structure and peculiarities of the used simulation Matlab model are described. The SOLTC physical model design and its parameters are presented. The results obtained from the simulating the SOLTC operation on the Matlab model and from the experiments on the SOLTS physical model jointly with a power transformer under different loads and with using different control algorithms are given. An analysis of the experimental study results has shown the soundness of the adopted technical solutions. It has been demonstrated that the use of an SOLTC ensures high-speed voltage control, high efficiency and reliability of its operation, and arcless switching of the power transformer regulating taps without load voltage and current interruption. By using the SOLTC operation algorithms it is possible to perform individual phase voltage regulation in a three-phase 0.4 kV distribution network. The possibility of integrating SOLTC control and diagnostic facilities into the structure of modern digital substations based on the digital interface according to the IEC 61850 standard is noted.
