| description | Distribution transformer is the most vital component in the power system. Failure of a transformer leads to loss of revenue besides affecting the reliability of power supply to consumers. It can lead to the non-availability of the transformer for a long duration. Due to this, it is important to maintain the good quality of mineral oil. Thus, if the quality of the mineral oil is reduced then its dielectric strength/quality is degraded. Finally, it can affect the services of the transformer, in terms of continuity of power supply. This paper entails the development of a mathematical MATLAB/Simulink model which able to calculate the life cycle of distribution transformer and exact oil changing frequency. With the help of proposed Matlab/Simulink models, the plot curves between furan content formation versus time, pollution index versus time, and dielectric strength of oil versus time are also prepared. The article methodology uses the newly proposed equations, that are in accordance with IEEE standards: IEEE Guide for Loading Mineral-Oil-Immersed Transformers and Step-Voltage Regulators (IEEE Std. C57.91-2011) and IEEE Guide for the Reclamation of Insulating Oil and Criteria for Its Use (IEEE Std C57.637-2015). Then the case study for a 100 kVA distribution transformer is realized. So, with the input values in the Simulink model of load current of the transformer, dielectric constant of oil and flash point of oil we can estimate the life of the distribution transformer. Harmonic load factor in our research work is not included, in order to reduce influence of harmonic load we need to installed the active filter, which is not covered in this paper. |
