In this paper, electrification pipe modeled on the oil path that insulating oil flow in the high power transformer is manufactured in order to prevent the accident cause from streaming electrification generated when insulating off flow at a solid-liquid interface, and the streaming current is measured and analyzed according to the shape of oil path in electrification pipe. From the result of this study, the streaming current increases linearly with increasing of a oil velocity and it increases at lower temperature and decreases at higher temperature than [$46^{\circ}C$]. The smoother the flow of insulating oil is the more the streaming current decreases.

This paper surveys the latest findings on vegetable-oil-based dielectric coolants in power systems. In recent years, environmental concerns have been increased on the use of poorly biodegradable mineral oils in distribution and power transformers in regions where spills from leaks and equipment failure could contaminate the surroundings. In addition, there are demands to improve equipment efficiencies in power systems. In this reason, researches were started in the mid 1990s to develop a fully biodegradable dielectric coolants. Vegetable oil was considered the most likely candidate for a fully biodegradable dielectric coolants. Vegetable-oil-based dielectric coolants provide the advantages of high level of biodegradability, renewable natural resource, non-toxic properties, enhanced fire safety, more effective cooling and good dielectric strength for many electrical equipment.

Mineral oil is the most widely used for electrical transformer, though some factors should be considered such as their environmentally harmfulness when it spill and low flash point. To cover these disadvantages, vegetable oil has developed because of its high biodegradability and thermal stability. However, it is necessary that many studies should conduct to reveal the detailed impacts of long-term operation as transformer oil. In this paper, we applied the accelerated aging test which simulate the real transformer circumstances using insulation paper, coil, steel at $150^{\circ}C$, which is higher than normal operation, for 2 weeks. To figure out the oxidation characteristics between mineral oil and vegetable oil test major properties and components such as total acid number, dielectric breakdown and dissolved gas components during that period. As a result of these tests, we found that vegetable oil has higher electric insulation ability than mineral oil though poor total acid number by hydrophile property. Vegetable oil also kept its thermal stability under the given circumstances.

In transformer fault diagnosis, dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is been widely employed for a long period and numerous methods have been innovated to interpret its results. Still in some cases it fails to identify the corresponding faults. Due to the limitation of training data and non-linearity, the estimation of key-gas ratio in the transformer oil becomes more complicated. This paper presents Intuitionistic Fuzzy expert System (IFS) to diagnose several faults in a transformer. This revised approach is well suitable to diagnosis the transformer faults and the corresponding action to be taken. The proposed method is applied to an independent data of different power transformers and various case studies of historic trends of transformer units. It has been proved to be a very advantageous tool for transformer diagnosis and upkeep planning. This method has been successfully used to identify the type of fault developing within a transformer even if there is conflict in the results of AI technique applied to DGA data.

It is well known that a discharge in oil is the source of various physical phenomena. Ultrasonic-wave detection is a useful method to the diagnosis of the transformer-insulation condition. Conventionally, ultrasonic waves are detected by Piezo-electric transducer, and we use optical method that has many advantages. In this paper, we constructed a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with optical fiber and investigated the principle of operation. Test arrangement is based on the needle-plane electrode system in oil and applied AC high voltage. Ultrasonic waves were detected and analyzed with wavelet transform.

This paper proposes on-line based a deterioration diagnosis device for diagnosis pole transformers using tan$\delta$ and FFT(fast Fourier transform). We measured tan$\delta$ and temperature to diagnose pole transformer insulating oil, diagnostic results are processed by FFT. For measuring convenience, we use R/F(radio frequency) wireless data communication module operating by secondary voltage of pole transformer. We have voltage variation test and oil temperature variation test to prove usability of proposed diagnosis device. The result of this paper shows that the proposed device can be used as deterioration diagnosis device of pole transformers.

We have developed an on-line ultrasonic detector to monitor partial discharge in an operating transformer. The ultrasonic sensor has 150[KHz] resonance frequency and contains a pre-amplifier with 60[㏈] gain. The on-line ultrasonic detector has 50~300[KHz] frequency band-pass filter to remove electrical and mechanical noises from the transformer. This detector has an ultrasonic signal discrimination algorithm which discriminates ultrasonic signals due to partial discharge in a transformer. A moving average method of ultrasonic signal number was employed to effectively monitor the increasing trend of the partial discharge. This paper describes an experience of partial discharge detection in a 154[㎸] operating transformer using an ultrasonic detector. With regards to gas analysis in oil, C2H2 gas was produced with a warning level in this transformer We detected ultrasonic signals on the transformer steel wall, and estimated the position of partial discharge. With further inspection, we found carbonized marks due to partial discharge on the supporting bolt which fastens the windings.

This paper presents the effect of moisture and dust on streaming electrification in transformer oil, in order to investigate the electrification tendency of oil adding moisture an dust. Authors designed series electrification device to analyse streaming electrification phenomena easily. Experimental results show that the streaming current is linearly increased with oil velocity and it has a peak value at about a 50 [%]. Adding of moisture and dust in oil decreased charging level and it was dominant in case of moisture.

Increased demand of power-transformer's capacity inevitably results in an excessive temperature rise of transformer components, which in turn requires improved radiator design. In this paper, numerical simulation of the cooling performance of an ONAN-type (Oil Natural Air Natural) radiator surrounded by air was performed by using CFX. The natural convection of the air was treated with the full-model. The present parametric study considers variation of important variables that are expected to affect the cooling performance. We changed the pattern and cross-sectional area of flow passages, the fin interval, the flow rate of oil and shape of flow passages. Results show that the area of flow passage, the fin interval, the flow rate of oil and shape of flow passages considerably affect the cooling performance whereas the pattern of flow passages is not so much influential. We also found that for the case of the fin interval smaller than the basic design, the temperature drop decreases while a larger interval gives almost unchanged temperature drop, indicating that the basic design is optimal. Further, as the flow rate of oil increases, the temperature drop slowly decreases as expected. On the other hand, when the shape of flow passages are changed, temperature drop is increased, indicating that the cooling performance is enhanced thereupon.
