FEM Modelling of the Influence of the Remaining Windings on the Frequency Response of the Power Transformer
Source abstract
Abstract
One of the standard diagnostic methods for power transformers is frequency response analysis (FRA). This paper deals with progress in the frequency response interpretation of these very important appliances in the power network. Simulations of the frequency response of the transformer windings are a useful way to improve the correct assessment of FRA results. One of the disadvantages of FRA modelling is time-consuming analysis, especially of large multilayer windings. The aim of this article is to develop a numerical model, which would reduce the duration of the electromagnetic field analysis of the winding with hundreds of turns. The approach introduced in the paper describes the simple two-dimensional (2D) finite elements method (FEM) model, which provides the results comparable to the three-dimensional (3D) model. Moreover, the paper presents the numerical models, which demonstrate the influence of the remaining windings on the inductance of tested winding. As a result of the conducted research, the comparison of inductance curve obtained from FRA measurement on the physical model with modelled resonance slope is presented, both for 2D and 3D cases.
