    Estimation of performance parameters using charge freed from deep traps located at interfacial region of oil-paper insulation
    (IEEE, 2019-11-21) Mishra, Deepak; Verma, R.; Baral, Arijit; Haque, Nasirul; Chakravorti, Sivaji
    De-trapped charge dislodged from interfacial region of oil-paper insulation can be used as an effective insulation sensitive parameter. Over time, various physiochemical reactions takes place at interfacial region and consequently results in the formation of different trap sites (deep and shallow). Charges which resides at these traps sites are de- trapped after gaining sufficient energy. In present analysis, it is found that charge dislocated from deep traps maintains some specific type of relationship with different insulation sensitive parameters. Before using de-trapped (dislodge from deep traps) as an effective insulation sensitive parameter the effect of geometry must be reduced, as amount of de-trapped charge depends on the area of interfacial region which is not identical for all units. Result presented in this paper shows that use of geometric capacitance for normalization purposes significantly reduces the effects of insulation physical dimensions on de- trapped charge. The capability of deep charge (normalized using dc insulation resistance and geometrical capacitance) is also compared in the present work.

    Effect of measurement temperature on interfacial charge freed from deep traps located at the interface of oil-paper insulation
    (IEEE, 2018-12-07) Dey, Debangshu; Sarkar, A.; Pal, Sayantan; Kumar, A.; Mishra, Deepak; Baral, Arijit; Haque, Nasirul; Chakravorti, Sivaji
    Accumulation of interfacial charge creates local field distortion during insulation response measurement. Furthermore, such localized field enhancement affects the interaction between polar compounds present within oil-paper insulation and in turn affects its aging process. By getting sufficient trap energy (normally by thermal oscillation) these trapped charges dislocate from their locations and contribute in depolarization current. These interfacial charges include charges dislocated from shallow and deep sites at interfacial region. The charge residing at deep locations takes more time to dislodge themselves compared to charge residing at shallow sites. As dipole present in cellulose has large relaxation time, there might be some relation between deep charge and paper insulation sensitive parameters. In this work, effects of temperature on deep traps are analyzed. Results reported in this paper shows that magnitude of charge freed from deep locations maintains a correlation with measurement temperature and paper conductivity.

    Feasibility of using normalized de-trapped charge for diagnosis of power transformer insulation
    (IEEE, 2018-10-07) Mishra, Deepak; Baral, Arijit; Haque, Nasirul; Chakravorti, Sivaji
    In order to use de-trapped interfacial charge as a performance parameter for diagnosis, it is necessary to reduce the influence of insulation geometry. Available literature shows that this can be done by considering dc insulation resistance R 0 as the normalization factor. Such normalization may not be always practically feasible as information regarding R 0 requires measurement of temperature sensitive low amplitude current. In this paper it is shown that geometric capacitance C 0 (instead of R 0 ) can be used as an effective normalization parameter to reduce effect of insulation geometry. Effect of normalizing freed interfacial charge using C 0 and R 0 and its subsequent effect on insulation diagnosis are presented in this paper.

    Effect of interfacial charge on parameters considered for insulation diagnosis of power transformer
    (IEEE, 2017-12-02) Mishra, Deepak; Baral, Arijit; Pradhan, Arpan Kumar; Haque, Nasirul; Chakravorti, Sivaji
    Out of various analysis methods available Polarization Depolarization Current (PDC) measurement is extensively used for monitoring of oil-paper insulation health. In such case, Classical Debye Model (CDM) is used for analysis of recorded PDC data. CDM has limited capacity to simulate the effect of interfacial charge. Due to this interfacial charge, nonlinearity arises in the system which adversely affects the insulation. Conductivity difference between oil and paper is the main reason behind this interfacial charge which creates nonlinearity in system. In the present work, the effect of interfacial charge is analyzed on some of the performance parameters used for diagnosis of insulation like peak value of return voltage spectrum and paper conductivity.

    Effect of charge accumulated at oil-paper interface on zero of transfer function formulated using classical debye model parameters
    (IEEE, 2017-11) Mishra, Deepak; Pradhan, Arpan Kumar; Baral, Arijit; Haque, Nasirul; Chakravorti, Sivaji
    PDC measurement and analysis is one of widely used tool for reliable diagnosis of power transformer insulation. In different reported methods of analysis it is considered that polarization current is composed of the current due to dipole movement and conduction current. Similarly the depolarization current is assumed to be composed of relaxation of dipoles. However when the dc conduction effect is removed from polarization current it is found the resulting current is not similar to the measured depolarization current. This deviation in both the currents show the presence of nonlinearity in the system. This nonlinearity arises due to migration of trapped charges that reside at the interfacial region of oil-paper insulation. The present paper shows the effect of such free charge on some important performance parameters like paper moisture and zero of Transfer Function of Classical Debye Model.

    Influence of temperature on interfacial charge of power transformer insulation
    (The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2019-06-21) Dutta, Saurabh; Mishra, Deepak; Haque, Nasirul; Pradhan, Arpan Kumar; Baral, Arijit; Chakravorti, Sivaji
    One of the popular methods for insulation diagnosis is measurement and analysis of polarisation–depolarisation current (PDC). During normal operation, charges get confined at the interface of oil–paper insulation. A part of these accumulated charges get absorbed in depolarisation current and contribute to the overall PDC data. The process through which charges are released from their confinement is known as charge de-trapping, which is highly influenced by thermal energy content of the insulation and hence by measurement temperature. In the current work, an effort has been made to investigate the effect of measurement temperature on de-trapped charge. Two samples are prepared and analysed in the laboratory at different temperatures for this purpose. This is followed by analysis of data collected from several real-life power transformers. Related analysis presented here suggests that measurement temperature of the system plays an important role in determining the amount of de-trapped interfacial charge during PDC measurement.

    Effect of charge accumulated at oil–paper interface on parameters considered for power transformer insulation diagnosis
    (The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2018-01-02) Mishra, Deepak; Haque, Nasirul; Baral, Arijit; Chakravorti, Sivaji
    Polarisation and depolarisation current (PDC) measurement and analysis is one of the popular tools for effective diagnosis of power transformer insulation. Normally, it is assumed that polarisation current is the combination of the current due to dipole movement and conduction current. Similarly, the depolarisation current is only due to the relaxation of dipoles. However, it is found that after eliminating the effect of dc conduction from polarisation current the resulting current is not similar to that of measured depolarisation current. This shows some non-linearity is present in the system. This non-linearity occurs due to movement of trapped charge that resides in the interfacial region of oil–paper insulation. This study shows the effect of de-trapping charge on various performance parameters that are used for insulation diagnosis like paper moisture and dielectric dissipation factor (tanδ).

    Estimation of paper conductivity from short duration polarisation–depolarisation current for diagnosis of power transformer
    (The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2019-07-12) Mishra, Deepak; Haque, Nasirul; Baral, Arijit; Chakravorti, Sivaji
    The value of paper conductivity provides quantitative evaluation of transformer insulation health. However, proper identification of paper conductivity requires complete profile of polarisation–depolarisation current (PDC). PDC measurement being a time-consuming offline process generally takes several hours to complete. Furthermore, magnitude of PDC becomes very low at larger value of time, which makes it sensitive to changes in environmental conditions and field noise. Hence, accuracy of paper conductivity identification can be ensured by conducting multiple measurements. This in-turn prolongs shutdown time of equipment and become less advantageous to utilities. Here, a method is proposed which is capable of estimating paper conductivity using PDC data recorded for only 800 s. The proposed technique is tested on data collected from several real-life in-service transformers. In order to illustrate the accuracy of the proposed technique, paper conductivities (calculated from short duration PDC) were compared with those computed using PDC measured for 10,000 s.

    Assessment of interfacial charge accumulation in oil-paper interface in transformer insulation from polarization-depolarization current measurements
    (IEEE, 2017-06-03) Mishra, Deepak; Haque, Nasirul; Baral, Arijit; Chakravorti, Sivaji
    Accumulation of interfacial space charge in oil-paper interface is a critical issue in insulation diagnostics of transformers. This interfacial charge mainly accumulates due to the conductivity difference of oil and paper. Accumulation of interfacial charge leads to localized field enhancement, which further leads to partial discharges and acceleration in the aging of insulation. Therefore, from the point of view of transformer insulation diagnostics, assessment of interfacial charge is very important. However, it is not easy to estimate interfacial space charge behavior from the transformer diagnostics methods currently in use. In case of Polarization-Depolarization Current (PDC) measurement, a well known method for transformer condition monitoring, the effect of interfacial charge is reflected in the non-linearity of current response during polarization and de-polarization. During de-polarization process, a part of the interfacial charge accumulated during polarization period is absorbed by the electrodes producing a current, which is difficult to separate using conventional linear dielectric theory. In this paper, an attempt has been made to separate this current component from de-polarization current through considering charge de-trapping mechanism. Terming this current component as de-trapping current, its relationship with other parameters of transformer insulation is discussed. The developed methodology has been applied on several practical transformers. It was observed that the time constant of de-trapping current is related to the paper conductivity, oil conductivity, dissipation factor and age of the insulation.

    Use of interfacial charge for diagnosis and activation energy prediction of oil-paper insulation used in power transformer
    (IEEE, 2019-01-13) Mishra, Deepak; Dutta, Saurabh; Baral, Arijit; Haque, Nasirul; Chakravorti, Sivaji
    Activation energy is popularly used for the estimation of remaining life of transformer insulation. It is defined as the average rate of all reactions that happen with cellulose. Existing literature shows that the activation energy of oil-paper insulation can be obtained from polarization depolarization current (PDC) and return voltage measurement (RVM) data that are measured at a specific temperature. It is practically difficult to ensure the same measurement temperature for both PDC and RVM data. On the other hand, PDC data and its analysis get influenced by de-trapping current. This de-trapping current is generated by ionic charge carriers that get freed from trap sites during PDC measurement process. Formation of these trap sites is related to physical, chemical reactions that happen at oil-paper interface. This paper proposes a methodology which uses de-trapped charge, dislodged from deep and shallow traps, to assess insulation condition and for the prediction of activation energy. Thus, eliminating the need of RVM data. The proposed method is tested using data collected from various real-life in-service transformers.
