However, the calculation of these values is now only based on cumulative percentile method without taking into account operating conditions. To overcome this disadvantage, a new approach to calculate the transformer caution values is presented. This approach is based on statistical distribution and correlation analysis, and it takes the individual variation and fluctuation caused by internal and external factors into consideration. Then 6550 transformer DGA data collected from North China Power Grid are analyzed in this paper. The results show that the volume fraction of TH (total hydrocarbon) approximately obeys normal distribution when the 3-sigma rule is used to calculate its caution value. The volume fraction of CO has a strong positive correlation with oil temperature. For H2, the negative correlation with oil temperature is significant when the volume fraction is not very low. The caution value curves for CO and H2 are obtained by regression analyses. Thus, the gas caution values/curves obtained using the new method are not always constant, but vary with oil temperature, which is an advantage of the proposed method compared with cumulative percentile method. The variation of gas caution values/curves also reflects the influence of the external factors, for instance, va- rying with monitoring time ensures that the gas caution values are always consistent with operating status.展开更多

The corona-induced radio interference and audible noise become important factors influencing the configuration and costs of transmission project. For understanding the effects of contaminations on the corona pulse characteristics of an HVDC transmission line,a corona cage was adopted to experimentally investigate corona pulse inception voltage and corona pulse characteristics of the conductors with different contaminations on surfaces. The contaminations include simulated contaminations,carbon powder,cement and fine sand. The results show that when conductor is covered with contaminations,the positive polarity corona pulses have high amplitude and low frequency,while the negative polarity corona pulses have low amplitude and incremental high frequency components. The corona pulse inception voltage presents a negatively exponential decrease with the increase of contamination density,showing a saturation trend. Fine sand shows the greatest effect on the corona pulse inception voltage with positive polarity,while cement shows the least effect. A function of corona inception voltage and surface contamination density is given. This study may provide reference for design of transmission lines.展开更多
